SOME PROVISIONS OF THE RE-
cLAMATIoN ACT. -

The National Irrigation Act, ap-
proved June II, 1902, commonly known
as the Reclamation Act,"s contem-
plates the construction of irrigation
work by the U. 8. Government for the
reclamation of arid or semiarid lands,
using for this purpose money con-
tanned in the reclamation fund which
has accrued from the sale Of public
lands in the states and territories
named in the Act Moneys so expend.
ed must be returned to the fund in ten
annual payments by the owners OF
the lands irrigated py means OF the
works constructed by the government
In order to secure water rights un.

owner must, in addition to making the
required annual payments, live upon
his land and must apply the water
furnished him to beneficial use In the
cultivation OF the same. II .Sss @

water to lands partially or wholly in
private ownership. In the latter case
certain rules and regulations, made by
the secretary of the interior, must be
complied with by the present land
owners who are to be benefited by the
proposed works. These requirements
are, in brief, that the said land owners
under any project, shall, in advance of
construction of the irrigation works,
form themselves into a water users
association under a form of articles
of incorporation approved by the Sec
rotary Of the interior.
The articles of incorporation enable
the secretary to deal with the asso-
citation as the representative of all the
water users, intead of with each indi-
vidual land owner and makes the as
ISOLATION directly responsible for the
payment of the money due the govern
ment for the construction, mainten-
ance and operation of the irrigation
works. In case the proposed irriga-
ton works can supply water only to
lands already in private ownership,
no public lands lying within the area
| Of the project, the secretary requires
that, before construction work begins
proper assurances SHAH be given by
the land owners to whom irTigating
water can be supplied, that they will
at the proper time, avail themselves
of the opportunity to obtain watel
rights under the proposed frrigatine
system. These assurances are giver
by each land owner subscribing for
and agreeing to take stock in the
water users association in accordance
with its articles of incorporation
which provide that the association
may assess it's members for the ex
pense of the construction, mainten
ance and operation of the irrigation
works, and such assessments shall re

will be required to cover operating
and maintenance expenses. The lat
ter assessment will depend upon the
amount of irrigation water actually
pumped and used and will vary from
$1.00 to $500 per acre per year.. 4
The first assessment need not, &C:
cording to the ruling of the secretary
of the interior, be levied until the close
of the first season during which irri-
eating water has been supplied to the
lands by the operation Of the irrigation
works, thus affording the water users
an opportunity to obtain one crop
from their irrigated lands before max
ing any payments towards the cost of
the works. T.. =:
Another important provision. of the
articles of incorporation is that no
member of the association may secure
a water right for more than 100 acres
of land. This provision Is in accord
ance with the reclamation act which
states that mo right to the use Of
water for land in private ownership
shall be sold for tract exceeding one
hundred and sixty acres to any one
land owner" Owners Of more than
100 acres may however, subscribe for
water rights for all their lands with
the understanding that the amount
in excess of one holding must be sub
divided into tracts of 100 acres or. less
and sold to other persons who will
comply with all requirements, as to
residing on the land and using the
irrigation water, by which to perfect
their water right. This sale OF the
lands in excess of 100 acres owned by
any individual, may be- accomplished
during the years OF construction OF the
Irrigation works, but If this has not
been done when the works are com
plete and able to supply the water
4 then the owner must empower the
, association to effect the sale.

DIET OF GRASS PALS.
New York Disciple Is Tempted, and
Falls From Grace.

New York, Sept. 17.-Senor Santos,
a Cuban grass eater OF Brooklyn, Who
follows NebuchadneZzar for ms stoin-
ach's sake, has a disciple True. MS
discipIe is a backslider, but he Is IN
the fold again. ,.
Frank B. Taylor, who runs a delicat-
essen store in Brooklyn, is the nrst
RI follow Senior Santos. He says 1T
cured him and will cure others. Tay-
lor, who is a Maine Yankee and along
in years, has been troubled with IN
Digestion He tried everything Tor It.
even doctors he says avs Inc . qoet 6irs
covery that Santos, who lives two
blocks away, had been cured by native
blue grass.
Taylor emptied a salad bowl, went
to the park and gathered peck OF
grass tons. He cut out his regular
food and chewed grass all day long
All about him were tempting potato
salads, ripe frankfurters, and Virginia
hams. They tempted MIN not ne
closed his nostrils.
A week passed. Taylor felt as strong
as an elephant-too strong, Tor
tempting desire for flesh came upon
him It took all his New England con-
science and Maine backbone to resist
the slices of Westphalia ham and bo-
logna which he set daily in the show
case. On the fourteenth day of Tay-
Ior's new life his daughter was out and
he was alone in the shop, and the
potato salad gave out. He had been
letting his daughter mix the salad, be
heving it best to remove temptation
wholly from his path But that salad
had to be mixed.
Anyhow unused Taylor, sit won't
do any harm to smell the stuff. Having
an appetite for good vituals is a healthy
sign. I won't taste the stuff I viii
just smell it
That, as his tutor would have told
RoIlo. was the first fatal step. He got
out boiled potatoes. Such nice, creamy,
firm potatoes they were it gave MIN a
pleasurabIe sensation just to cut into
them.
TT does beat all how his old stomach
keeps a-grippin' a man." said Taylor.
But I've found a better way" He
chopped in onions and parsley, and
they certainly smelIed good He mixed
the salad dressing.
F'ortifying his mind thus he dumped
the potatoes in a salad bowl and poured
out the rich, creamy, tempting dress
ing and mixed it up He looked at it a
long time.
Il wonder now" he said, eff got that
dressing just rignt2 How am going to
know If don't taste it %
'Of course, how can you tell2 One
little taste will do no HARM whispered
the voice Of the teIppter. And then.

with a mad. despairing sigh, the dis
ciple of Santos and pure living fell.
When Miss Taylor came back to the
shop she shrieked at the awful sight
she beheld. There her father was sit
ting on the floor. Beside him was the
empty salad bowl, the skins of three
bolognas, the crumbs of two loaves Of
bread, and an empty jam jar. With a
Joy gone made, he was sinking his
teeth into the pink fragrant heel of a
WestphaIia ham.
Il was tempted and fell" said Tay-
lor as he reached for a plate of smear
case.
This eating jag should have killed
Taylor, but it didn't seem to affect
him at all. No gas developed and he
continued as strong as an elephant He
ate as in the old days in Maine. Two
weeks of the great Santos cure SEEM
ed to have restored his digestion when
doctors had failed
Last Tuesday, however, it all came
back He was sick and all the deli
catessen in the store couldn't tempt
him. So Taylor returned to the
straight and narrow path He took a
little grass hamper and went forth TO
Sunset park and came back chewing
the cud of simplicity.
1T beats all how strong old Adam
is" said Taylor "but 1 have learned
my lesson. When L got sick of Sunset
park grass I'm going to try some good
old Maine white clover White clover
used to taste good when I was a boy.
But 1 guess I'll let some one else
mix the potato salad" concluded Tay-
Tor. THE tempter gets too powerful
sometimes"

TARGET PRACTICE
Has Developed Some Remarkable Re-
suits in Night Shooting.

Washington, Sept 17.-Remarkable
results have already been reached in
the naval target practice now going on
in Menemsha blight. The vessels of
the north Atlantic squadron in last
springs target practice broke all the
worlds records for rapidity and ac-
curacy of fire both with big and little
guns. but this was daylight work IN
der favorable conditions for good
shooting The big ships are now do
ing some extraordinary night shooting.
The experience of the Russo-Japanese
war has convinced the general board
that in the future the great naval bat
ties may be fought at night and it
is certain that most of the torpedo
work will be done in the hours of
darkness Hence it is believed to be
essential to develop the gun pointers
at night work and already surprising
results have been obtained in the prac-
uce in the blight Using her eight
inch guns one of the battleships made
eight hits out of nine shots at night
The target distant about a mile was
by a searc-s light and the
gunnerS used special night sight.
The ship from which this shooting was
done was forging ahead in the open
sea at ten knots.

ALBERTS IN WICHITA.
Topeka Man Looking for a Franchise
at That Place

Gus Alberts is in Wichita looking
around TO see If q Missouri Valley
league franchise could be probably To-
Gated there He is being backed by
President Shiveley. The latter will
go to Wichita next Monday and from
there to Oklahoma City, for the same
purpose. Both are confident that the
towns viii be good acquisitions TO the
league. The Wichita Eagle had this
story on Friday on AlberIs' visit:
Gus Alberts. formerly manager of
the Topeka club in the Missouri Val
ley league but late an umpire in the
employ of that association, arrived in
Wichita last evening for the purpose
OF looking over the grounds prepara-
tory TO giving Wichita a franchise in
that league for the season of 1905.
Ny present trip is solely for the pur-
pose Of securing suita BILE site for the
games that will be played here" said
MI Alberts- when seen last night. "and
am not here asking money. 1 shall
call on a number OF the people of
Wichita today. who are interested in
the national game and discuss the
proposition with them From Wich-
ita 1 am going TO Oklahoma City,
where I will also make preparations
TO Get that city into the league"

the smaller clubs will be dropped and
IN their place will be taken wichita
and Oklahoma City. The last two
named places will be the only ones in
this part OF Kansas and Oklahoma
members Of the association.
The prevailing opinion seems to be
that Wichita cannot support a first
class ball team said Mr.. Alberts. Il
beg TO differ with them he continued
You give the people good ball and
they viii patronize the game. In To-
peka the situation was practically iden-
teal with what is now IS here not a
very long time ago. That city was ia
ken into the league and a good club
formed The result is that the people
patronized the games and the receipts
at every contest ran all the way from
one to two thousand dollars. At the
close of the season the Saints. as they
are called, find themselves with plenty
of money to pay all expenses incurred
during the year and almost enough left
TO purchase their ball park. Wichita
can do as Well"
Contrary to other baseball promoters
who have visited Wichita recently in
the hopes of placing a team here Mr..
Alberts does not intend TO ask for fin
ancial assistance. To his way of speak
ing the team is practically a sure thing
for Wichita, and the best grounds to
be found will be leased soon and pre-
parations made for building a grand
stand and fences
