WHAT is BEING DONE.
How Work Under the National Irri.
cation Act IL PrOxressiuu

The Topeka (Kan.) Journal, referring
edltorially to the operations of the new
National Irrigation laws, says:
The latest statistics of irrigation
work being done show the employment of
men on the Salt river reservoir in
Arizona. with 1000 to be employed when
the blasting now in process has been
completed. To the Snake river valley in
Idaho the sum of $2,6OO,OOO has been al
lotted and the area to be irrigated ex-
ceeds 10000 acres. The dam across
the valley will form a reservoir 80 miles
in length.
THE Milk river irrigation scheme in
Montana invoices the expenditure of So
100000, and 25O,OOO acres will be irri-
gated. Work is to be resumed and push
ed on the Gunnison tunnel, in the I'm
c%ompahgre valley, Colorado, with a ca
pacity for irrigating $4,000 acres. Sec
rotary Hitchcock has approved the plans
and specifications for the dam across
Payette river in Idaho, forming a reser-
voir with an irrigating capacity OF 1OO,-
600 acres. The north side canal, along
Payette river, will have an ~irrigating ca
pacity Of 10000 acres, and the cost OF
the entire work is estimated at $1,000
600.
In addition to the work now in pro-
gress in Idaho. Arizona, Colorado and
Montana Secretary Hitchcock has Or
dered a survey of the Sun river valley
in Montana. The scheme involves the
reclamation OF the enormous body Of land
lying between the Teton and Sun rivers,
while contracts have been let for the con-
struction of the dam for the irrigation
Of the lands in the Pecos Valley, New
Mexico.
"The work under way, or under con-
tract, involves the reclamation Of not
less than 1,225,OOO acres Of land now
arid and not susceptible of cultivation,
but to be made SO, and to be thrown open
to settlers at the usual rates within the
next three years. Neither the lands in
the Pecos valley nor between the Sun
and the Teton rivers are included in this
estimate"

LEssONs OF HISTORY.
Caud Davis Revivss an Issue that
We're Better Let Alone.

nGtteE Let ALONE
Liberty and free government have al
ways been secured at the cost OF great
sacrifices: but history teaches us that both
can be easily lost without the knowledge
OF the people."-Hon: II. G.. Davis, Demo
cratic candidate for Vice President.
Foreigners may not understand this
as it is understood by the old soldiers
and sailors and citizen SURVIVORS Of the
civil war. Read a history OF that period.
Learn what Were the sacrifices of this
country in retaining the Liberty and
free government" deliberately ~conspired
away. without the knowledge OF the
people" by a Democrat in the Presiden-
chair. Easily lost was that ..liber-
ty and free government referred to by
Mr.. Davis. 1t has been, for wears. q
dominant issue-this antagonism between
Patriotism and Democracy as the latter
now exists in America; but forty wears
ago It nearly destroyed this government
of ours, made tens OF thousands Of wild
and orphans, and gave the land q
great army of crippled soldiers whose
scars were vouchers for heroic sacrifices.
To insinuate in words and style that
amount to an accusation. that Mr.. Roose-
velt, or the party that upholds him.
desires. intends. or has the slightest
towards the acts Of Buchanan
and the Democratic party that backed
him, revives that issue. It is not the
party that can 6tly preach
and patriotism to the present rem
Grafton. The sentiment OF Mr.. Davis Is
al right in the abstract; but. coming
from him as a representative OF the no.
itical faction that tried to wreck the
nation, It is q proof OF the hypocrisy that
will pervade the government should his
party come into power.

Let Well Enough Alone,

The bank clearings at the principal
cities OF the United States for the first
week in October afford a striking critic
rion Of Republican prosperity. and show
how every section Of the United States
is a beneficiary Of Republican policies.

Bradstreet, show a gain Of 1873 per cent
over the corresponding week last year.

OF the proposed federal irrigation works,
it has been officially announced that the
letter Of the national irrigation act will
be strictly adhered to, and no person
who holds over 100 acres will be furnish
ed with water from the government
works for lands in excess Of that amount.
The strict enforcement of this rule will
compel owners of large tracts to subdi-
vide them in small holdings and sell
them at a reasonable figure.

Irrigation and forestry are inseparab BILE
and must 60 together. President Roose-
welt has well said that without forestry
irrigation must fail. Without adequate
protection Of the sources of water sup
ply, the great irrigation projects about to
be commenced by the national govern
ment would prove far short in the bene-
fits their construction is expected to
bring to the arid West.

LOCATION OF COLLEGE.
Board of Directors Selected Site Tor
New Institution.

A,niston July l7.--(Special )-The
hoard Of directors of the Presbyterian
College for Men of the Synod or Ala-
bama, met in the city yesterday ana
decided TO locate the college on Leigh-
ton Avenue between Seventh and
Eighth Streets. several aesiranie
locations were offered, but after VISIT
ing the others the site on Leighton was
decided upon.
The site on Leighton Avenue is
very desirable one and well suited 10
the purpose for which 1t has been
adopted. The plot of land which VIII
be transferred includes ten and one
tenth acres. rising in a gradual slope
from a frontage of 322 fet to hlllocK'
upon which the college buildin gproper
is to be Atuated. DIR. Stagg, of Birm-
ineham. president of the board of
didectors, said that 1t was the idea of
the directors to erect what might be
termed a quadrangle on top of the hill.
in which will be located all the college
buildings and homes of the professors.
The homes of the professors will in all
probability be erected first and within
a short time.
A deal was contaminated yesterday
whereby Professor White disposed of
his interests in the Admission Training
school to the board of directors of the
Alabama Synodical College for Men.
1t has been the idea of DIR. McIlwaine
all along to secure a high or training
school where young men could be pre-
pared for entrance to the college, and
on account of the proximity of the
school 1t can be considered an ideal
location. Professor White, who has
conducted the school for several years
in a manner so commendable. has oeen
retained by the board of directors and
"a GNhOnl NEXT An
assistant will be selected later The
work of the school now will be very
similar to that of past years and the
principal aim will be the turning out
OF a freshman class for the college In
1905.
A gentleman from Weavers was In
the city yesterday and told of most
dastardly crime which occurred few
days ago at that place. He said that
while Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Fite were
at supper some miscreant put poison
in the we'll bucket. On account of
bringing of the stun Mrs. Fite was
made deathly sick and but for the
timely arrival of a physician she might
have died. DR.. Meharg analysed the
water and said that quantity of NOR
phine had been put into 1t. Mrs. Fite
noticed that the water was bitter when
she drank of 1t and called attention
to this fact, which caused the early
discovery of the dastardly attempt. Mr..
Fite stands well in the community and
knows no reason why any one should
attempt to take his life or the lives OF
any of his family.
]. d. Newsome. one OF the oldest
residents of Admission, died at los
o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home
here Mr.. Newsome had been i'll for
two or three months with compiled
ton of diseases and he suffered quite
good deal during his Illness. Mr..
Newsome lived In Admission many years
and was we'll known. He leaves

without raising the primitive rage of
