4 KINDLY WARNING.

Our benevolent and beneficent gov- lernment is now trying to save us from
 swindlers who are working in the west tern and eastern States with a view to victimizing home-seekers in the new irrigated districts. By means of adver- l ltisements cleverly worded in which they claim to have inside information regarding the plans of the government
 engineers, and by the display of bogus
 maps and surveys alleged to have been made for the government, the sharpers have, it is said, already succeeded in deceiving some of the unwary. For d consideration of from $50 to $200 they guarantee to locate settlers upon the best irrigable lands under the govern ment works Samples of the literature being used by them have fallen into the hands of irrigation officials who are now warning the public to beware of the schemers. These men have no in- side information, and their maps are mere township plats such as may be obtained from the general land office
 The lands under these government pro- jects are withdrawn from all entry ex- tcept homestead before any actual work of construction is ordered. Until the
 plans are completed for construction and the contract has been let for the works it is impossible to state with any degree of accuracy what the cost of the water will be or what lands will be ir- Irrigated. Settlers who make filings based on the information received from people who claim to have inside facts for sale will not only lose the money paid out, but are liable to find the lands are not included in the governments proposed system.
 Gentle readers, look out for them You have probably been swindled enough in your time without falling into this new trap.

have heard from the mouths of Bachanaian husbands! What odors of multifarious cooking have assailed those noses! And if the majority of those mouths have often gone hungry so that the kiddies might have enough, they will never hint about it to us, or to you, either nor to anybody else. Here is the photo of the sheepish youth taken half length to show the watch chain. Observe also the flower in the buttonhole and the new necktie. Some of those photos show young man looking sheepishly to the right; others show him looking sheepishly to the left, and there are few which picture him looking sheepishly direct fly at us.
 And here is the picture of the man of 22. He is so ambitious. See the noble brow. Evidently here is one who think in empires and talks in epics. A mol der of public opinion-he-and leader of man. He reminds us of an acquain- Htance of ours who once bitterly com Eplained to us that he never did look up to much except in tintype.
 And then the photographer always puts me outside in his showcase" said he, with arrogant pride.
 And finally and of course we come to the pictures of the newly married coup les. He has her by the arm and she has the dress on. See how important they look. This picture was her idea land she means to be in it. And how proud he looks-and how easy, We should not ate all be surprised if tn photographer tried to work him fo ran extra dollar on general principles.
 For it is not written in the stars that no man can get married with impunity. Brooklyn Eagle.

The greatest depth from which the Alhatross has secured any life was 4,173 fathoms. This was in the South Pa cific between Tonga and Ellice islands. The dredge brought up silicious sponges, radiolarians, and brown volcanic mud. The greatest depth from which she has brought up fishes is 2,949 fathoms, or about three and one-third miles. This was in the edge of the gulf stream off the coast of Virginia. The deepest sounding ever made by the Albatross was at Station 4,O1o, near Guam, where the enormous depth of 4,S1S fathoms, or nearly five and one-half miles, was found.

WORK FOR DIPLOMATS
Is Mapped Out by the Department
of State,

VI SUITE
Washington, Aug. THE Depart
ment of State has initiated measures
whereby it is hoped further to improve
our foreign trade by means of coop
Grafton between the diplomatic and
consular services. For some years our
diplomatic officers have shown in
creasing interest and zeal in supple
menting the work of the consular
service by reports on commercial and
industrial subjects, and the depart
ment now hopes to make the diplomatic
corps a systematic and efficient auxil-
larry for the promotion of our export
trade.
The action of the department is ten
tative as yet, and takes the form of an
instruction from Acting Secretary
LOOMS to the diplomatic officers call
ing for reports as to the feasibility of
the plan. After indicating the char
acter of the information desired, the
Acting Secretarys letter says:
1T will be apparent to you that if
the United States is to gain and hold
it's proper place among the industrially
competing nations in the worlds mar
kets, nothing should be left to such
chances, but that the machinery for
collecting information as to business
conditions in other countries should be
made as efficient and as safely auto
matte as the means will allow. As you
are aware, the consular service has
made a general and very marked adj
vance in its utility in this direction in
recent years, so much so, in fact, as to
have become the object of imitation
and emulation on the part of the more
prominent of the Industrial nations;
and it is believed that if the diplomatic
service could be brought into closer
and more active cooperation with it,
the United States would possess an in
strument of trade expansion which it
would be difficult to rival"
