In woman,s Relief Corps.

That the Woman's Relief Corps,
Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the
Republic. is a most successful organ
ization was fully proven at the twenty
second national convention. which was
held at Boston during the Encamp-
ment of the G. A. R. The report of
the national secretary. Mrs. Jennie s.
Wright, shows that there are thirty
five departments, comprising 2,734
corps. The membership in good
standing numbers 149, 400. The report
on charitable work places the number
of persons assisted at 42,459 and the
amount expended for relief during
the year was $172.749.s6. The total
amount expended for relief since the
organization of the order amounts to
the large sum of $2,677, 415.O9. The
report of the national treasurer. Mrs.
Sarah E. Phillips, was most fattering.
1t showed the total assets of the Wom-
ans Relief Corps to be $40. S76-96. With
no liabilities.

THEIR SALARIES ARE SMALL.
insignificant Sums Paid to Two
Famous Men.

1t may be some comfort to laboring
men to know that the salary of the
poet laureate OF England is $500 a
year and hogshead of wine thrown
in. Of course, this represents only a
fractional part of what Mr.. Alfred
Austin really earns; still it is all that
he gets for being poet laureate to the
English speaking race. This salary
is without any prospect of raise,
although it was increased to its pres
ent munificent proportions when Lord
TennysCn died. Some time before his
death it was decided to increase his
salary to that amount, but the gov
eminent did not decide till after his
death. Thus the present poet laure-
ate came in for the raise intended for
Lord Tennyson.
Even this small sum is more than
the official salary of the bishop of
Winchester, in his capacity of minis
ter to the chapel royal. He receives
$35 per annum. 1t is an Office which
requires his presence at Windsor sew
eral times each year and the total
railway fares from Winchester amount
to about five times the amount of his
salary. The vice consuls of the sec
ond class towns in Russia are also
badly paid. Their salaries vary from
$25 to $130, but two-thirds of them
get $25.

Considerable interest attaches just
now to the Uintah Indian reservation,
because of the provision in the last
Indian appropriation bill, providing
for the opening, and which carried an
appropriation of $4,000 to complete
the surveys, begun some time ago.
The original bill fixed October list,
1904, as the date of the opening, but
because of the amount of work to be
done, in allotting lands, and making
the surveys, it was found necessary to
postpone the opening until March 10,
1906 which was done by action of con-
gress.
The Uintah reservation lies in Uin-
tab and Wasatch counties, Utah, in
the northeastern portion of the state
In area it consists of two million
three hundred and thirty -four thou
sand acres of mountain and valley.
There are several fine streams of
water that rise in the Uintah range on
the north, and traverse the lower val
leys, finally emptying themselves into
Green river. The principal streams
are the Duchesne and Uintah rivers,
with numerous forks, all of which can
be easily diverted for purposes of ir-
rigation, making it one of the best
watered sections of the state. From
the foot of the Uintah mountains to
the south line of the reservation are
a continuous succession of benches of
soil that is admirably adapted to all
kinds of crops that can be grown any
where in this latitude.
In altitude, the reservation ranges
from 1000 feet in the lower valleys to
$1,000 feet on the summit of the lofti-
Of he oh q
highest in the state.
In selecting lands for the Indians,
the allotments have been made prin-
clpally along the river bottoms, while
the bench lands, which are usually the
most fertile, are practically untouched
and will provide homes for many
thousands of people.
In climate soil and crops, the reser-
walton is identical with the Ashley
valley, twenty miles to the east, which
is, without question, one of the garden
spots of the west. In this valley are
grown magnificent crops of grains of
all kinds, and alfalfa hay yields three
crops a year. The whole of the Uin-
tab basin, which comprises all the ter
ritory lying south of the Uintah range,
draining into Green river, and en-
bracing all of the Uintah and Uncom-
pahgre reservations, and practically
all of Uintah county, is adapted to the
growth of small fruits, especially, and
the apples produced in the Ashley val
ley are the finest in the world This
crop is unusually fine this year, the
orchards, in many instances, breaking
down under the burden of fruit that
is without blemish. In some parts of
the Ashley valley, the finest of peaches
are also grown.

Rain Brought by Artillery Fire.

- As early in the war as the siege OF
Lczh gton, Mo-, which ended on Sept
20, 1861, in the surrender of Col Null
1igan to the Confederates, the fact
that heavy artillery firing was usually
followed by rain had already been
noticed in the west. On the 18th
the beleaguered garrison was cut off
from the river and thus deprived of
water; but to encourage the soldiers
to hold out as long as possible for the
arrival of the expected reinforce
ments, it was represented to them by
their officers that the cannonading
would surely bring rain to quench
their thirst. And this prediction was
fulfilled; though, unfortunately, they
had no way to catch the water which
their firing had drawn from the sky
except by spreading their blankets
to the shower and then wringing them
out.
In the south, as well as in the east
and west, rain followed heavy can
nonading. One engagement Eear Fort
Pickens, Florida, was an early in
stance. Flag Officer William w. Nc
Kean, commanding the Gulf blockad-
ing squadron, in a report to the Sec
rotary of the Navy, dated Nov 25,
1861, thus mentions the circum-
stances. He says: "Sir-I have the
honor to inform you that on the 22d
inst. a combined attack was made
upon the rebels at th:E place by Col
Brown of Fort Pickens, and the
United States ships Niagara and Rich
mOnd, under my command.
At 10 O'Clock, at the firing of the first
gun from the fort (the signal agreed
upon), the Niagara stood in, followed
by the Richmond, and both ships
came to anchor. = We I'M
mediately opened fire. At {
p. m. a sudden squall came up from
the northward and westward, the
wind blowing very fresh, with heavy
rain," etc.
