Grinnell, March. 3.--The "Woman's
Edition" of Scarlet and Black, the
semi weekly Iowa College paper, came
out on time Wednesday evening and in
good shape as regards both its intel
lectual and mechanical makeup. The
editorial force for this occasion con-
sisted OF, Adah Hopkins and Oda Hall
'O5, Edna Edmunds 'O6, Lura Eldrldge
Morrison O3 The leading editorial is
prophetic of the time when there shall
be an annual "Woman's Edition" Of
forty, pages properly Illustrated and
fully paid for by advertisers. While
this number is largely given up to re-
cital of what women have done In and
for Iowa College 1T is generally con-
coded that college men are also useful
within certain limitations. An inter
esting history is given of the two So
cietties for women, the "Calocaga-
THAN" and the ELLIS" The work of
the Y. w. C. A. for the past year is
ably reviewed by Carrie Uhl. '04 An
interesting and able article is contri

RICHES TO GIRL OF is.
Miss Jennie Croker Comes Into Pos
session of Her Estate Of $5,000,000.

San Francisco. March. "a sensibly
dressed little maiden with blonde hair
and blue eyes tripped into Judge Cof-
feys court yesterday afternoon and adj
mitted on the stand that she was con-
tent with matter of $5,00O,O00 turned
over to her by her guardians. SO little
fault had she to find with their stew
ardship which nearly doubled the
estate they have cared for.
that she announced their appointment
as her attorneys-in-fact, so she can
continue to receive the benefit of such
thrifty services.
The woman is Miss, Jennie Adeline
Cpcker, now just is years of age. The
statement of assests filed by Henry T.
Scott and Charles e. Green shows a
balance to the credit Of the joint estate
of Miss Croker and her brother,
Charles r. Croker. of S9,917,5n.
Heiress Well Pleased.
Have you any objection to this ac-
count?' asked the court of the witness
and most interested party.
mo, sir" said MISS Croker, "and I
am so well pleased with their care of
my property that I wish to appoint
them my attorneys in fact"
We'll" said the court, "if you are
satisfied, I am" And he ordered the
guardians discharged making the little
heiress mistress of her own personal
fortune Her brother must wait until
next September for Ms independence.
All the items in the inventory filed
with the report consist of gilt-edged
securities or flrst-class realty. The
principal item is one of $2,666,533, a
two third interest in the Croker Es-
tate Company. The Crocker Hotel
Company come next with $2,S99,2O0, of
which $1,5S6,022 is for the ST. Francis
Hotel building the rest for the land on
which it stands and the realty adjoin-
ing upon which it is proposed to erect
additions to the hotel. The other prin-
,cipal amounts are: Cash in bank, $685.
1853; United States gold bonds Of 1925.
$519, 500; Southern Pacific stock, $780,
1870; Northern Railway securities, $685.
$40; Market Street Railway Company
stock, $264,S95, and Croker Realty
Company, 100000. There are other
gilt edge city real estates worth about
"a million.
Estate Grows Rapidly.
When Charles Croker died in 1897
his estate was estimated to be worth
about $7,O00,O00. Under the manage
ment of Scott and Green it has been
increased to more than $11,000,0O0.
The action of Miss Croker in ap-
pointing the guardians of her estate
her attorneys is a recognition Of their
services in her behalf. She realizes
that her property is in good hands and
desires to have the continued benefit
Of their business judgment. By making
them her attorneys, in fact, she frees
herself from the annoyance of man
agement of the property and at the
same time gives them the same free
hand in the management of the es-
tate they have had in the past. Here
tofore they were only under the control
Of the court. Now they can manage
the property as their own. OF course
Miss Crocker can terminate their power
whenever she desires.
Miss Croker has not expressed her
wishes as to the investment of her
funds. 1t is probable that her attor-
neys will continue to place the money
in city real estate.

A GREEDY CORMORANT.
He Devoured Two Pounds of stones
as Part OF a Meal. --

He Devoured Two Pounds of stones
as Part OF Meal. $50.
When was a keeper in the National
Geological park in Washington l OBJ
served a remarkable example Of the
well known greediness Of the cormo-
rant. ri:
Four little cormorants came to the
zoo and were placed in cage in which
dogs had once been kept. Outside was
a pebbly yard in which the dogs had
exercised. The cormorants waddled
about this yard and seemed to be hay
ing a fine time until one morning I no.
ticed that one of them was sitting on
the ground unable to rise. He did not
waddle up to get his meal Of whole
fish. each usually about half as long as
his own body, and as the others came
rushing toward me to get their share
knew that be was Ill. went into
the cage and lifted him up What was
my amazement to hear something graf
ing and clanking inside Of him! And
he seemed surprisingly heavy. at
once called the head keeper, who de-
cided to investigate by means of sur
gical operation
He took out two pounds Of stones.
one Of which was four inches long, two
and a half inches wide and about half
nm inch thick! The poor chap seemed
to feel relieved. In few days he be-
came convalescent, ate his food regu-
larry and seemed to be doing well.
Then that hooked bill reached under
the feathers and tore out some OF the
surgeons stitches. which were nm
doubtcdly irritating. as the wound was
beginning to heal As a result Of this
interference the wound opened, and,
as the weather was hot. the patient
died ave days after the operation.

A new irrigation project which
promises much for the northwest is
the Buford-Trenton reclamation pro-
ject. The United States government:
has set aside $4,000 for this work
and the active operations will begin
inside of sixty days. When this work
is completed some $4,000 acres of now
arid land will be reclaimed and, the
western part of North Dakota will be
as attractive as the great valley of the
Red river and the productive lands of
the Mouse river loop. It is asserted
that the proposed dam and reservoir
will hold between 10000 and $4,000
acre feet of water and the proposed
canals will run north and south of the
line of the Great Northern railway
to a point about three miles east OF
Trenton, North Dakota, from near Ru-
ford, North Dakota, on the extreme
western border of North Dakota This
is but the beginning of the extensive
irrigation projects which have peen
planned by the government and indi-
viduals in western Dakota and north
eastern Montana, which together with
the Milk river irrigation project Fill
reclaim thousands of acres for settle
ment for agricultural purposes which
have lain barren for years, and offer
an opportunity for the homeless of
the east to secure homes of their own.
The fact that good agricultural gov.
eminent land is becoming scarcer and
scarcer makes these irrigation pro-
jects of great interest to the home
seeker and investor.
