THE INDIAN SUMMER SEASON.

No period OF the year excels in
loneliness the one sometimes known
as the fifth season." says the scien-
tific American. Beginning about the
middle Of October, it is often pro-
longed into December. Its character
istics are a calm, sole, hazy atmos-
phere, through which day after day
the sun, shorn Of his beams, rises
and sets like sphere of copper or
gold, according to each beholder's de-
gree Of poetic perception. Sounds at
great distances are distinctly audible.
Objects, unless close by, are discerned
with difficulty All nature, as II to
prepare itself against the blasts OF

Now it is we'll that railroads be strict.
ly supervised and governed, but it is
also well to remember that, in the
hustle and hustle of business, every
comfort can not always be provided,
especially in the way of seats. Doubt
less the railroad companies have their
troubles as we'll as the passengers. 1t
is not always possible for them to
anticipate the volume of traffic be-
tween certain stations. Where they
have warning Of an extraordinary rush
they usually make provisions for it in
the shape of extra cars, but where
they have no means Of knowing what
extraordinary rush of traffic there may
be between certain stations, it is
hardly fair to expect them to provide
beyond what would be the reasonable
limit of expectations. So far as con-
venience is concerned, it would be
more convenient and comfortable f
the railroads ran up to our doors on
those days when we start upon a
journey, so that we might get aboard
without hunting up a railroad station.
But there are certain physical OBJ
stacles in the way of this plan, even if
a statute were to be enacted to this
effect. So it seems that we must be
reasonable in dealing with railroads,
just as we expect railroads to be rea-
sonable in dealing with people. The
average man travels for the sake of
getting somewhere, not for the COM
forts he may obtain en- route. So, rea-
sonable equipment being provided by
the railroad company for it's probable
travel, on those occasions when we
must stand up, it is a good time for
reflection upon the superior comforts
and speed we enjoy over our ancestors
who rode in stage coaches and some
times behind OK teams. And we must
also remember that the man who
wants all the comforts of home should
stay there.

scarcely stirs the richly-tinted but
rapidly-fading foliage.

rapidly-fading foliage.
The earliest explorers of America
recorded their appreciation Of the
beauties of this season, but did not as
sign to it a specific name. Our pio-
neer historians, notably Jefferson's
note its features as among the most
fascinating exhibited by our climate,
but do not designate it as Indian
summer" name which now belongs
to it by the common consent of the
people of the United States, Canada,
Australia and portion of Europe
The first recorded appearance of the
name Indian summer" is found I'M
der date of October Is, 1894, in the
journal of Major Ebenezer Denny, an
army officer stationed at Fort LIE
Boeuf, near the site of the present
city of Erie, Pa. The term seems to
have been already well known and
clearly recognized. The New Eng
land tradition is that the term ''Indian
summer" is derived from the preva-
lence, at that time, of the southwest
winds, which the Indians supposed to
be sent as peculiar favor from their
good deity, Coutanowoit, to whom,
says the Rev. James Freeman, they
believed they would go when they
died.
A more logical reason is that, in
many portions of the United States, it
was the Indians hunting season, not
only on account of the plenty and per-
feet condition of the game but because
of the density of the atmosphere,
which favored close and unsuspect-
ed approach to the creature pursued.
Among the Indians of the northwest,
it was the period between the gather
ing and storing of summer supplies
and the selection of winter quarters in
the haunts of large game. Hence,
Indian summer in that region was the
season of migration, its mildness be-
ing favorable for journeys. On be-
ing asked when they intended to go to
their hunting-grounds, their usual re-
ply was: when the Great Spirit
sends us our fall summer" Persons
whose imaginations are sufficiently
vivid may find in the appearance of
the November sun resemblance to
the Indian complexion.

with hobby, and nearly every man
has hobby, wants to saddle it and
bride it with bill, resolution, motion,
suggestion or proposed enactment and
ride it into the legislature. The coun-
try is, after all, spared much of litiga-
ton, trouble, disturbance and incon-
venience more in the omission than
the commission when it comes to the
passage of bills in legislative bodies.
And the peculiar generosity of the
man with hobby lies in the fact that
he wants everyone to get on and take
ride. Just at present is the stage
of incubation for bills proposed to be
introduced in the next legislature.
Grand Forks seems to be the favorite
breeding ground for some of the
strange legislative birds now being
fledged, if we may be permitted to
change the nature of our metaphor
from hobbies to BIRDS Two of the
suggestions that have come from
there, and the only two we have seen,
by the way, are interesting, if not to
say valuable. One of them proposes
to enact law by which railroads run
ming through the state must furnish a
seat for every holder of a ticket-no
mention being made of passes in the
law, so we presume that pass-holders
must take their chances, or ride on
the trucks or bumpers. The necessity
Of such a law is apparent, so it is
stated in explanation of the proposed
measure, because railroads run cars

bers Or so greatly crowded that many
people have TO stand up. Surely it
roads-and street cars-were so oper-
ated that every man had seat to
himself-and while we are enacting
such law it might be just as we'll to
provide that each man have a double
seat, so that he may stretch his feet
out. If first-class ticket means any.
thing it means that holder ought to
have ali the comforts that can be pro.
vided, and the railroads can just as
we'll furnish double seats as single
ones. Just how such a law would be
enforced is not stated. We suppose
that if passenger got on the train
and there was no seat for him, he
would refuse to give up his ticket
whereupon the conductor would stoI
the train and put him off, to wait unit

IRRIGATION PLANS FOR NORTH
DAKOTA.

The Washington correspondent of
the Minneapolis Journal learns that
some irrigation projects for North Da-
kota have been approved, one of them
at or near Bismarck. In the course
of long article in which some of the
difficulties in the administration and
application of the irrigation law are
set forth, the Journal correspondent
says:
''The physical conditions in the
irrigation states are very dissimilar.
Some invite the construction of reser-
voirs and bitches, while others do not.
The result is that in some states the
reclamation bureau, on orders from
the secretary of the interior, is pre-
pairing to expend considerably more
than these states have contributed to
the irrigation fund, while in others
the proposed expenditure will, for the
present at least, fall considerably be-
low those contributions.
The line of cleavage is thus plainly
drawn. The states which are to re-
ceive, in the near future, irrigation
works exceeding in cost the sums con-
tributed by them to the irrigation
fund, are apparently we'll satisfied
with the law, while those which are to
receive less are willing to change the
law and turn the irrigation business
over to the politicians, hoping, through
the @tpull'' of senators and congress-
men, to secure greater recognition
than has thus far been accorded them.
which is cited here as illustrating the
In this latter class in North Dakota,
feeling which prevails in all states of
its class.
North Dakota has contributed to the
Irrigation fund So, 406,10O If sum Of
that size could be properly expended
on irrigation works within the state,
without neglecting more inviting pro-
jects elsewhere, there would be no
complaint, but according to the gov
eminent engineers, this cannot be.
After careful investigation, extend
ing over more than year, and en-
bracing the entire Irrigation area of
the state, it has been decided that
$1,75O,000 is all that at present can
be advantageously expended there.
This sum embraces three projects, one
at Fort Buford to cost $1;200,OOO; one
at Bismarck, pumping project, to
cost $3.50 900, and one at Trenton, al
so pumping project, to cost 5000, 900.
The two pumping projects have been
tary of the interior for adoption, and
it is expected that he will pass upon
them within the next two weeks. Al
Bismarck about 10000 acres can be
irrigated, and at Trenton about $4,000
acres.
The cost of this work per acre il
considerably less than the cost where
expensive reservoirs are built, but the
cost of annual maintenance is con
siderably greater, averaging from
twenty-five to thirty cents per acre fol
land flooded by reservoirs, and abou
$3.50 an acre for land flooded BY
pumps. Still, the projects are attrac
tive, and it is the belief of officers o
the reclamation bureau that numerou!
other pumping plants soon can b.
profitably constructed in the state, ant
that in the end North Dakota is to re
ceive in irrigation works the full valu,
Of the contributions she has mad,

ton fund.-
