IRRIGATION PROJECT STARTED.
Farmers in Vale District Sign Agree.
,.rt. With the Government.

Belle Fourche, s. D.. July 19.-Farm-
ers and ranchers from the Vale district
not far from this city. met this week
to take final action on the government
irrigating proposition. This district IS
considered about the most important
part Of thhe territory that is to be
redeemed by the irrigation. Congress-
man Martin, Of Deadwood, explained
the legal part of the question. Without
any trouble the farmers signed the
agreement necessary to get the gov
to proceed with the work.
Raymond F. Walker, who has charge
OF the work, stated that grading can
be commenced on the big ditch within
ninety days, and it a b~eco1npleted
inside of eighteen months. This ditch
is to be over a mile long, 500 feet wide
at the base, and twenty feet wide at
the top. 1t is to be made entirely OF
stone.

"Inasmuch as the team captains by a

General Spencer, land inasmuch as the
National Rife Association of Great
Britain had asked To be allowed to use
special rifles, which request was not
agreed to-. the American team took with
them the special barrels so as to be
fully prepared"
The cutlery of the transatlantic cavil-
erS appears all the. more discfeditable
because the British authorities them
selves first suggested a modification of
the conditions of the Palma match
which would make possible the substi-
tuition OF private rides for those actual

B.-Rifes of private manufacture may

eral. I'VE replied as follows:
Suggestion A is all right. TO sug-
gestion B our answer is No."
So it will be seen that the American
officials took the initial steps in en-
%deavoring to prevent the infringement
of the Palma rules that England DELHI
erately broke, forcing the other con-
tending teams to protect themselves as
well as possible.
The present discussion would rave
beer avoided If the captain of the
American team had at a meeting of the
Palma entrants the night before the
match offered a resolution that in view
of the fact that the English team was
to use special rifles all teams hould be
allowed the same privilege. The reso-
luton would have won a majority of
votes, and as a result the deviation
from the conditions of the Palma deed
of gift would have had incontestable
official sanction. Captain Bruce was
instructed by General Spencer before
leaving America to offer such a resolu-
ton, but the matter was overlooked.

There was considerable agitation
over the report that persons not en-

"Special Rifles Are Best"

THE practice of putting a war office
stamp on private guns in England has
always given its marksmen an advan-
tage over their rivals in international
matches" continued the general. "One
might just as well put the government
mark on a golf stick and call 1t a gov
eminent rife. The principle is the
same. There is no question that a spe-
cially made barrel. with improved
sights, etc. is more effective than the
ordinary government rifle barrel.
Therefore to make equal conditions for
all there should be no deviation from
the letter of the Palma conditions.

try that made the highest score at Bis

He Advocates Election of Judge
Parker For President as
Good Beginning
FREE TO UNDERTAKE THE WORK
Bryan Says He Avoided Organizing the
Radical and Progressive Element In
The Democratic Party While He Mas
Leader, and Now Bears Only a
Privoate Citizens Responsibilities.

Lincoln, Neb., July CIV. ]. Bryan's
racy was given publicity yesterday. In
1t Mr.. Bryan favors radical changes,
but advocates the election of Judge
Parker for president as a good begin
ming. He declares for state ownership
OF railroads, government control of tel
egraphs; adjustment of private mo-
nopoly: favors the income tax and cleo
tion of federal judges by the people.
Mr.. Bryan says in part:
MY selection as standard bearer of
the democratic party in 1896 and again
In 1900 made me the nominal leader of
the party, and l should not feel at lib
erty to engraft new doctrines upon the
party creed. I contented myself with
the defense of those positions and poll
:cies which were embodied III the plat
form.
NOW that the leadership devolves
upon another and l bear only the re-
sponsibility that each citizen must bear,
namely, the responsibility for my own
opinions, my utterances n my con-
duct, am free to undertake a work
which until now i have avoided, name
ly, the work of organizing h radical
and progressive element in the demo-
cratic party.
1.-THE money question is for the pres
ent in allegiance.
while the democratic party in the
nation is advocating the government,
ownership of railroads, the democratic
party in the cities should pon the
same theory espouse the cause OF mu-
nicipal ownership Of municipal fran
chises.
"We have also reached a time when
the ~postofice department should en-
brace a telegraph system as well as a
mail system. The telegraph lines do
not reach as n people as the rail
roads do. and while the abuses to pri-
vate ownership hav not been so open
and so notorious, yet there is no reason
why this nation should not do what
other nations are doing in this re-
spect.
..The private monopoly must be de-
stroyed. The democratic platform
adopted at Kansas City declared the
private MONOPOLY to be indefensible
and intolerable.
1.-THE democratic party has IN two
campaigns stood for an income tax.
The plank was omitted this year be-
cause the men In control Of the party
thought it would jeopardiZe success in
the eastern states. This objection may
have weight when the appeal is made

wealthy men of that section. but 1t can

MUNR0E RODE
ON A BRAKE BEAM.

When Jack Munroe, rival of Jim JEFF
fries for the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship, first arrived in San Francisco
five years ago he reached the city from
Butte. Mont, riding on a brake beam.
AT that time Munroe was just a big.
husky young miner whose only repu-
tation was that he had played on tho
then famous Butte football team.
AS football had fizzled in the mining
town Munroe happened to turn his
small athletic experience to count in
handling and training Denver Ed"
Russell. But pIgilistic pickings were
not very good in Montana Just then.
Both men day dreamed of the big
purses offered sluggers in San Francis
co, and they asked somebody il 1t Were
a very long walk to the city by the
Golden Gate. Denver Ed" was finan.
cially knocked out, and there did moi
seem to be anything in sight in that
part of the country to revive him.
Munroe was no millionaire, but ho
had a small fortune consisting all told
of nearly $50. To remain in Butte
without fights was TO consume all that
wealth. So Munroe evolved a plan.
Both he and Denver Ed" should nil
CRATE to San Francisco. For the looks
of things and in order to create a Ia
vorable impression upon his arrival
Denver Cd" would travel in a regular
Pullman ear. Munroe saw to that. His
good money bought the ticket, and his
forethought supplied Denver Ed" with
some change to buy dining car meals
n tip the porter.
Satisfied that the pug he was train-
ing was we'll provided for, big Munroe
waited a favorable moment and swung
in under a car and secured a nice front
seat on a brake beam. OF course he
could a9t perch there night and day for
tie two days and a half required for
the an. That is why Denver Ed" beat
his trainer to town. But Munroe arr
rived Il few days later. 1t required sew
eral different kinds of trains to bring
him TO the city, but he got through
without spending a cent for tranSporta-
ton.
The balance of Munroe's sixty dollar
fortune was almost gone, and the cash
was needed to house Denver Ed" and
let the pugilist make a proper showing
n have a known place TO sleep wnllo
negotiating for a match.
Again Munroe bestirred himself. II
was not long before he doomed up big
in an Olympic club football suit and
was out for practice with the team. He
was a most faithful attendant at the
training table. Those were glorious
days for the man that had come to town
more than 100 miles cramped up undo
a car. His fellow football players mar
veled at the Munroe appetite. 1t was q
delight to watch the big Butte man at
tack his food and take it n camp.
After awhile Munroe disappeared
from San Francisco-whether in or un-
der a train is not material. He was
next heard OF in Butte as the man who
Jeffries for four rounds He was
given the decision because Jeffries fall
ed to knock him out in that time, ac-
cording to the terms of the Jeffries'
tour offer. That abort stand
at Butte gave Munroe his pugilistis
