Satan always finds some work for
idle hands to do, and we might
add, idle minds also. How MANY
an otherwise lonely hour is whiled
away in the companionship Of
good book, and many an hour that
might be spent in Objectionable
company wovld be spent in a public
library. The benefits derived
from public library are too num-
e-ous TO mention. They are as
broad, as deep, as lasting as time
itself As Milton says "A good
book is the precious lifeblood Of a
master spirit enibalmed and treas
ured up on purpose to a life beyond
life. ="
You ask what assurance YOU
would have that the books would
not lie idle for year or two9
This, the federated clubs, intend
to take the books they have OIL
hard at the present time (nearly
five hundred volumes) and open a
public library as soon as they can
complete arrangements, which will
be in the near future, where the
entire public will be welcome. And
| assure you no one will be more
gladly welcomed than the pupils
OF the High School. Mrs. J. C. Smith

The Public Library
Reply to Two Of The High School

In answer to my young friends
would say 'Yes, the Club women
of the city are in favor Of the
Public Library. and are working
for il, because they are progressive,
broad minded, and in favor Of
doing all they can for the public
good. am sorry I was misunder-
stood; no one more than myself
has cause TO bless the public school
and as I write one Of our old school
songs rings in my ear,
"The common schools, may God
them bless
Wherever they may be,
They are The peoples colleges.
The glory Of the free"
You say there were 1900 pupils
enrolled last year in the public
schools; / would ask, how many
would be benefited by the school
library not more than two or
three hundred, and even then not
more than two or three years at
the out side. When you graduate
from the high school the library is
closed TO you for all time, and if
you wish to improve yourself more,
if you are not so fortunate as to
possess a library Of your own,
where can you turn for help other
than the public library"
We do wish TO be understood as
fight against anyone, but
you must remember the common
schools are not the only-schools in
our city. There are the children
of the Catholic school, and other
private schools whose parents pay
the same percent on their property
as the parents Of the public school
children. You can easily see they
would not receive any benefit from

School Then voi, sy cHow

TOWNS CUT Off
All the lowlands are Flooded.-The
Situation Along the River is Criti-
caI.-At Harrisburg the River has
Risen Eleven Feet in the Last "a
Hours.-Much Suffering is Caused.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Mar. S.-The wa
ter in the north branch of the Sus-
quehanna river is still rising and is
the highest since 1902 when the en-
tire city was flooded All the low
lands are under water. and towns
on the west side of the river are
cut off.
Harrisburg, Pa. Mar. S.-The sit
uatiOn in the flooded region is criti-
cal. and the people are preparing for
the worst. The river has been ris-
ing rapidly since last night. There
is much sickness among the resi-
dents of the lOwlands.
Harrisburg today faces the worst
flood in it's history. Weather Obser-
yer Demain predicts that the stage
of water in the Susquehanna will
exceed that of last Friday. The stu
alton along the river is critical The
river conditions above this city are
hourly becoming more alarming. A
great gorge in the north branch of
the Susouehanna is still solid. In the
west branch the ice is running thick
on a nine foot flood. At Wilkesbarre
the ice moved for two hours this
morning and then gorged solidly and
remained stationary. The river at
this point has risen nearly eleven
feet in the last twenty-four hours.

proved. Actual tillage must, as a rule
be shown. II. however. it be shown.
and it must be made conclusively to
so appear, that because OF climatic
conditions crops other than grass
can not be successfully produced, or
that actual tillage of the soil will
destroy or injure it's productive quail
tiles. the actual production of a crop
of hay of merchantable value as the
result of actual irrigation may be
accepted.
Proof Must Be Positive.
Proofs which show that because OF
irrigation there is on the land
marked increase in the growth OF
grass" or that grass sufficient to sup
port stock has been produced on all
the land" will not be accepted. The
trouble lies in the proofs. These are
made before the local land officials
and no personal inspection OF any
land officers is required, thus plac-
ing premium upon perjury. This
ruling. however. could it be strictly
administered, would directly affect
applicants for patents to lands under
a number of the large irrigation
bitches in several of the western
states.
Under it the mere presentation OF
a water right secured by purchase
from a company will not be suffi-
cient proof Ii must be accompanied
by conclusive evidence that the ca
pacity of the ditch and the water
supply are sufficient to irrigate the
land. that the ditch company has
actually supplied the water required.
and that the land has been actually
cultivated.
1t has frequently been the practice
in Colorado. California. New Mexico.
and possibly. if not all. of the west
ern states and territories for large
canal companies to sell water rights
far in excess of the water supply or
carrying capacity of the ditch. and
this decision. by rendering such wa
ter rights of no value as proofs. may
serve to protect innocent purchasers
who contemplate taking up homes on
canals.

DESERT LAND RULING.
Proof Must Be That Land is in
Cultivation

Washington, Mar. 1.-The ruling
of Mr. Hitchcock. secretary of the
interior, just made in regard to final
proofs in desert land entries will
possibly put a damper upon desert
land law operations and scare off
any applicants under this most dis.
cussed act who have assumed to Sc
cure 320 acres of government land
without residence and by making on
ly nominal improvements.
The ruling is the result of an in
quiry concerning the acceptance by
the land Office of final proof of an
entryman in Wyoming. the proof
consisting of evidence showing thai
marked increase in the growth OF
grass. or grass sufficient to support
stock had been produced on the des
ert land.
1t is a well known fact in the west
that the mere fencing and resting o
the semi-arid lands. with no attemp
at irrigation. will result in greatly
increased yield Of grass. oftentimei
a strong growth OF a foot or eighteer
inches. whereas the adjacent grazet
pasture may be but three or foul
| inches high.
The secretary now holds that no
only must irrigation be actually pra'
ticed. but that the entryman mus
have a right to sufficient water Il
fully irrigate his land. That the sys
tenn of bitches to conduct the waite
to and distribute it over the Ian,
must be adequate for this purpose
and that the land must be actuall,
irrigated for q sufficient period o
time to demonstrate the suficienc
Of the water supply. The effective

WEDDING BELLS AND DIReE.
Miss Helen Porch Dies, but Requests
Before Her Death to See Her
Sister Married.

Many Roswell people will remem-
Der the Misses Porch who made
eral months past hoping that the
climate might effect a cure of Miss
Helen Porch who was dangerously
ill with consumption. About the last
of January they gave up all hope of
effecting a cure, and left for their
home in Mena, Ark, having made
many friends during their stay here.
The following clippings from the
Mena Star of the date of Monday,
February 29th, tells of the marriage
of Miss Berta Porch and the death
of Miss Helen Porch on the follow
ing day.
QpietIy Welded.
Sunday morning Mr.. E. H. Donald
etly married at the home of the
brides mother, in the presence of
the immediate family. Rev. Mr. Doak
performed the ceremony.
The union of this young couple SO
well known in Mena, has long been
postponed owing to the illness of
the brides sister, Miss Helen; but
seeing that she must pass out of
this life. the invalid sister made the
request that she might see them uni
ted in the holy bond before her
death. The request was granted with
the most pathetic blending of an
event sacred with joy with one of
deepening sorrow.
Miss Helen Porch Dead.
At 80 o'clock this afternoon Miss
Helen Porch. daughter of Mrs. S.
Porch. passed out of this life. The
closing hours of the sad event found
the patient prepared to meet the
change peacefully.
The contest against the physical
ailments has been long one in
which Miss Helen had the most de-
voted care from a loving mother,
sister and many friends
