The recent announcement of the
government that the Geological Sur
vey will spend p million dollars in
western irrigation works, places this
class of internal development among
the great policies of the nation. 1t
appears that this work of Uncle Sam s
by which settlers can take up desert
land under the homestead law, with
out cost, and secure the water from
the government irrigation works for
the price of construction, has de-
veloped a new species of swindlers
who delude homeseekers by pretend
ing that they hold advance inside
information regarding the construc-
ton Of government canals which will
enable them to loca homesteads on
the most valuable lands. This they
will agree to do upon the payment of
advance fees Of from $50 to 5000, ac-
cording to the means of the victims.
The government has done well to is
suea note of warning against all such
pretenders, and intending settlers
will be wise to treat the offers of
such sharks as they would the adj
vances Of the gold brick men.

Not long since, it was stated that
Port Arthur was impregnable and
the Russians sympathized with the
fanatical Japs bent upon only their
own destruction; next it was learned
that Russia proposed to leave the
fortress to its fate and Japanese cap

Port Arthur not only pregnable but
important and that she will endanger
her whole campaign by going to its
relief Ia the mean while, Japan
