Il Boer Boy Hero.

Major Seely, D. S. o., tells pathetic
story of a little Boer lad who pre-
ferred to die rather than give any in
formation likely to result in the cap
ture of his fellow countrymen. On one
occasion during the war, Major Seely
said, he was instructed to get some
volunteers and try-to capture a COM
mandant at a farmhouse some twenty
miles away. He got the men ready
and they set out. 1t was rather des-
perate enterprise. but they got to the
farmhouse all right. only 10 find, how
ever. that the elusive Boer had cleared
out in an unknown direction. 1t was
vitality important that the British force
should get some information, for it
became a question perhaps of the
Beers capturing them and not they
catching the BOer commandant. At
the farmhouse they saw a good look
ing Boer boy and some yeomen. Major
Seely asked the boy if the command
ant had been there, and he said in
Dutch. taken by surprise, Yes"
Where has he gone - was the ne,
question, and the boy became sus-

Seely, Ito do thing for which hone

Big Guns.

Some experiments carried out near
Cherbourg this week with the new
model big French fortress guns show
that this question OF gun caHbers
touches interests outside the purely
military sphere. The guns are OF u as
inch caliber and although only three
shots were fired. it had been judged
prudent 10 warn the neighboring in
habitants to leave their windows and
doors open as a precautiou against the
tremendous cOncussiOn expected In
fact. the first shot did great damage
10 the earthworks around the gun, and
as there was no time TO warn the on
Ger in command, the next two dis
charges completely shattered them
Luckily. the men ordinarily serving the
gun had been kept at a distance until
the effects had been tested. In the re-
suit, new service rules viii have to be
devised and a larger uninhabited area

GROWTH OF IRRIGATION.

THE United States Census Bureau has just given
out preliminary report OF the progress OF irrga-
ton in this country during the year 1902. That
question is of thap usual interest to people of
the West just owing the appropriation by
the General Government of the of wentyseven mil
lions OF dollars for irrigation in their territory The
port says:
"The acreage reported as irrigated in 1902 exceeds
that OF 1899 by 7oS8o the length of canals and
bitches by I436I miles, the of irrigation systems
by S2I797672 and the number of irrigated farms by
23,4So." That showing is gratifying when it is
bered that in many parts of the United States it
made under dscouraging conditions The crop Of
1902 in the arid portion of the West a poor one
owing the snowfall in the mountains being unusually
light materially reducing the flow in the irrigatng
bitches
AS evidence OF the growing interest in Western
territory being shown by home seekers the report states
that In the last twenty years there has been great
awakening the opportunities which lie in the arid
West for the home maker, and remarkable transfoa-
ton has taken place in many parts of this region The
irrigation of to-day, through lessons of experience and
observation of theresuts obtained pioneers evnce
ready adaptabily to conditions. Great problems
of storage and diversion involving features
before considered being worked out to practical
solution"
One of the features auxary irrigation the value
of which is coming be better understood and ap-
preciaed is the possibility of utilizing the force of the
water motive power and for the development of elec-
rcity Under that head it is stated "The great dams
which mpound the floods wasted furnish abundant
electric for all purposes Every available
is potent factor for good. The flow of the canals
wheels which lift large quantities of fields
above the line of gravity supply"
The mining industry has profted very largely by the
Inauguration of irrigation systems. Where has
been brought upon the land intended primarily for pur-
poses of agriculture it has in many instances been used
a1s tO M have
been worked successfully.
AS to the number of farms irrigated, California is
given first rank, with Utah second and Colorado third
while in the matter of total irrigated Colorado
stands first California second and Montana third The
aggregate mileage of main canals and bitches in this
country in the is reported being than
enough encrcle the earth twice their combined length
being so.243 miles.
