ARID WESTERN REGIONS.
Irrigation Operations ON Extensive
Scale to Render Them Fertile q
Being Forwarded.

In a paper published In a recent is
sue of a journal devoted to the ge-
ographic interests of the country, F. H.
Newell, chief engineer in cha I3e of the
reclamation of arid lands in the west,
details at considerable length the prog
ress of the work. Some of the facts
he mentions are presented here.
The reclamation fund now amounts
to about $15,000.000, and is increas-
ing rapidly. The fund is accumulated
under the provisions of the reclama-
ton law, which set apart the proceeds
from the sale of public lands in 13
territories for the construction of IT.
rigation works.
The land sales in 1901 started the
fund with $3,000,000; in 1902 the sum
of $4,00o,000 was added. and in 1903
about $8,0OO,0OO. The more irrigation
works are built the more public land
within reach of water supply will be-
come marketable, and thus the prog
ress of the work will help to swell the
fund.
AS the water is supplied, the owners
of the land benefited will pay for what
they use, and will ultimately pay for
the entire cost of the improvement.
All the money they pay will be turned
back into the fund, and thus will be
used over and over again for the build
ing of storage reservoirs.
When finally the limit of water at
'ainable has been reached, and it is
not practicable to irrigate more land,
the entire fund will be turned into the
general treasury.
The work of surveying the western
streams to ascertain the amount of
water supplied, how the lands may
be reclaimed by irrigation. has been in
progress since 1883, and is still going
on. The work Of building the storage
reservoirs has only just begun in Ne
vada and Arizona.
Some of the states and territories
from which the largest contributions
to the fund are received, because they
include the greater part of the acreage
sold, will derive least benefit from the
fund. The contribution of North Da-
kota is very large, but there will be
little irrigation in that state. because
irrigable lands and an adequate water
supply are hard to find.
Oklahoma is large contributor, but
with it's sub-humid climate it has lit
tie need of irrigation. On the other
hand, little land is sold in Nevada,
and its addition to the fund is small,
but the state affords the largest op-
portunity for irrigation development.
Colorado is the greatest mining
state, but the proceeds from the small
irrigation area in Colorado are al
ready more valuable than the gold and
silver produced The area of land
that can be reclaimed by irrigation is
relatively small, but If two or three
per cent. of the vast area of arid land
is ultimately reclaimed, and put I'M
der cultivation, il will mean a pop
ulation in the western half of the
United States almost as great as that
now in the eastern part of the coun-
try.
Nearly all the land has value in one
way or another, and the grazing in
dustry will always occupy so Or 80
per cent of the arid lands. Blu, the
value of the grazing products will not
be SO great as that of the crops raised
on the reclaimed lands.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE ESCAPE.

On a certain morning a messenger
rode in hot haste to the prison gate.
He bore the livery Of Montague.
Turnkey after turnkey admitted him,
until finally he stood before the cell of
John Law and delivered into his hand,
as he had been commanded, the mes
sage that he bore. That afternoon this
same messenger paused at the gate Of
the house of Knollys. Here, too, he
was admitted promptly. He delivered
into the hands of the Lady Catharine
Knollys certain message. This was
of a Wednesday. On the following
Friday it was decreed that the gallows
should do it's work. Two more days
and there would be an end of "Jes-
samy' Law.
That Wednesday night a covered
carriage came to the door of the house
of Knollys. Its driver was muffied in
such fashion that he could hardly have
been known. There stepped from the
house the cloaked figure of a woman,
pulled shut the door. The vehicle was
soon lost among the darkling streets.
Catharine Knollys had heard the
summons of her fate. She now sat
trembling in the carriage.
When finally the vehicle stopped at
the curb of the walk which led to the
prison gate, second carriage, as
mysterious as the first, came down the
street and stopped at a little dis
lance, but close to the curb on the
side nearest to the gate. The driver
of the first carriage, evidently not lik-
ing the close neighborhood at the time.
edged trif1e farther down the way.
The second carriage thereupon drew
up into the spot just vacated, and the
two, not easily distinguishable at the
hour and in the dark and unlighted
street, stood so, each apparently watch
full Of the other, each seemingly with
out an occupant.
Lady Catharine had left her carriage
before this interchange, and had
passed the prison gate alone. Her
steps faltered. 1t was hardly con-
sciously that she finally found her way
into the court, through the gate, down
the evil-smelling corridors, past the
sudden and leering constables, up to
the last gate which separated her from
him whom she had come to see.
She had been admitted without de-
muir as far as this point, and even
now her coming seemed not altogether
a matter of surprise. The burly turn
key at the last door stood ready to
meet her. With loud commands, he
drove out of the corridor the crowd of
prison attendants. He approached
Lady Catharine, hat in hand and bow
ing deeply.
81 presume you are the man whom
I would see." said she, family, almost
unequal to the task imposed upon her.
AYE. madam, doubt not, with my
best worship for you"

arine. II was to speak to you"
Aye" replied the turnkey. "You
were to come, and you were to speak.
And now. what were you to say to me?

 J. B. Harden found no trouble in gathering the car load of chickens he advertised for last week. In fact, he got more chickens than he could get into the car.

Plenty of Lumber.

To the People of Green Forest:
 We are again in the lumber business up to our eyes, having bought back two of the pest mills that we sold, and we have plenty of seasoned lumber to fill all orders at same old price. We made money by selling at the old price and are making it again, hence we will not raise the price.
 We have a planer at the mill and a resaw and lath machine. Any one wanting lumber can buy it from us cheaper than else- where, and always get just what they want and when they want it. Come one, come all and bring the cash. HANBY BROS. Berryville, Ark.

The Only Way the Handhoders of
Seville Can Get Together.

From the Washington Star
The Seville girls dress in bright col
ors and always wear flowers in their
hair. Except in Triana and ON feast
days the local costumes are obsolete,
and more is the pity
Through the wide archway that forms
the entrance to every house you can
catch glimpses of most attractive patios
which are adorned TO attract the taste
of their owners. Nearly all of them
have artistic marble fountains with
statues of marble fountains with stat
ues of more or less merit placed agasnit
the background of palms or banana
trees, and, following the Moorish GUS
tom. the life of the household centers
in these courts. The houses have sci.
dom more than two stories. The street
fronts are almost always dead walls.
broken by heavily barred windows, and
the zaguan, or archway, which is pro-
tected from intrusion by handsome
gate OF wrought iron. Sometimes the
patio is covered with glass roof and
movable awnings are arranged so as to
shut out the sun. Here the families
receive their visitors and spend most
OF their time except in the rainy sea-
son, which drives them under the thick
tiled roofs
The windows of the second floor
always have balconies which seem to
have been planned to meet the require
ments of courtship in Seville. Accord
ing to the custom of all the Latin races
lovers are not allowed TO become ac-
quainted with their sweetheart until
after marriage. and Cupid mus. do his
work at long range. Young men must
not visit young women. but they can
Tx together through the bars of the
windows on the lower story. or the girl.
like Juliet, will hang over the balcony
of the second-story window and talk to
her admirer in the street.
Often walking through the streets of
Seville | have found the sidewalks
blockaded by horse which stands
patiently while its rider makes love to
pretty girl in the window. From his
saddle he can reach her level and can
press her hand, while if he were on
foot he could only express his emotion
by the gestures that Spaniard or Ital-
II can make so eloque IT. After court
ship thr ugh The grating or from the
b lcony has resulted n an under
standing the young man sends his
father or some friend as Cupid's am
bassador to the father of the girl. The
match is arranged, the wedding day
is set. the bride and bridegroom meet
for the first time under circumstances
when they can exchange condolences.
and after the priest has pronounced the
benediction they can begin to get &C.
