nesday night that the disaster to the
Enterprise Bank was expected in GER
tain quarters. Plans for the exposure
of it's trafficking in state funds, it is
said, were laid weeks ago. Clarke was
cognizant of this and talked the mat
ter over with several of the directors
a few days ago. The cashier was told
by the directors that he would have
to meet the paper obligations nego
tiated through him. The supposition
is that he was unable to do this, and
fearing the consequences, took his
own life
Clarke was associated as treasurer
with former state senator w. H. An
drews and Francis ]. Torrance, who
according to President Gyinner. were
borrowers from the bank through the
Santa Fe Central Railroad Company,

built by Messrs. Andrews and Tor

bank it hs developed that the U. S.
government and state officers have
been in Pittsburg within the last few
weeks looking mot the affairs of the

to make investigation of statement

Conquest :! !5s Great
American Desert


According to a bulletin Of the Fed
eral Census, California, the second
largest State in the Union, has land
surface of 99,S27 200 acres, Of which
Il little more than II per cent was
irrigated in 1902.
In the number of irrigated farms
and the total construction cost Of irri-
cation systems, California holds first
rank; in total area irrigated it is sec
ond only to Colorado.
In 1902 the area irrigated from oil
sources of water supply aggregated
1,7O9,72O acres, an increase Of 262, ,848
acres, or 1872 per cent since 1899. This
is an average increase Of S7,616 acres
per year, while the average increase
per year for the decade 1SS099 was
only AGA acres.
In 1902 there were in opera ton
6,O17 systems with an aggregate of
1910 miles of main canals and bitches,
the total construction cost Of which
was 23,772, ,157, or S1391 for each acre
irrigated. Irrigation was reported or
30,404 farms.
OF the total irrigated area, 1,526, sos
acres belonging to 23,383 farms were
watered from streams; 1928 acres or
377 farms from springs; and 1884, 285
acres, representing 6,644 farms, from
wells. The construction cost Of the
2,419 stream-systems, including 6,S31
miles Of main canals and bitches, was
$1S,29O,58O, an average Of $11.24 pei
irrigated acre; the 304 spring systems
with 179 miles of main canals HnC
bitches, cost $1O1,5 ,504, or $5.66 per irri
gated acre; while the 1924 we'll sys
TENS represented a construction out
lay of $5,39OO93, an average of $32.8
for each acre irrigated.
Since the census bulletin there ha
been great increase in irrigation Il
California. Several large canals in tn
Sacramento Valley have been opened
for use within the past twelve months
and there has also been a large in
crease in the number Of wells.

whole Confederate army in check until
Kearny and Hancock came to his re-
lief. At the battles of Fair Oaks, Glen
dale and Malvern the conduct of Gen.
Hooker was Of the greatest gallantry.
After having been placed in COM
mand Of the Army of the Potomac to
supersede Burnside, he found great
difficulty in the organization Of the
troops. Hooker had the feeling that
he had been placed upon probation by
the Washington authorities to retrieve
failure and that some of his own rad
ical utterances had been repeated there
to his own detrlment. 1t can not be
said that as commander of the army
Hooker was as brilliant a success as
might have been hoped for. But his
worst enemy had to acknowledge that
he did his very best for his country.
Desperately wounded in the terrible
battle of Charlottesville, Hooker new
ertheless kept up as few men would
have had the courage to do and won
victory from defeat.

INDIANS APPLY THE LASH

Tribal Punishment Day Among the
Choctaws Described by Traveller.
while in the Choctaw nation in the
Territory recently" said a travelling
man, II saw q sight that impressed me
much. AS everybody knows, the In
dams have long maintained their
tribal courts and enforced their own
laws, but Congress several years ago
denied them jurisdiction over felony
cases and since that time they have
administered the law only in misde-
meanor cases.
II arrived in Eagletown, little Ter
ritory town away off the railway in
the neighborhood of the Arkansas line,
and almost instantly l realized that
something out of the ordinary was 60
ing on, for the place seemed to swarm
with tawny Indians. Upon inquiry
was Informed that it was sentence day
and that the Indian court would deal
with malefactors. First one Indian
after another was brought before the
Indian judge, who conducted the pro-
ceedings in Choctaw, and as fast as
one prisoner was convicted the cOnsta-
BILE or sheriff, as the case might be,
would take him out and infiict the pun
lshment
I'm all misdemeanOr cases they
whip, that Is, a person convicted Of a
certain offense receives so many lash
es. They would take the prisoner to a
big oak tree, into the body Of which
had been driven an iron pin curved
at the end about two feet above tnf
average mans head, and after tying
his hands together and stripping the
prisoner to the waist, he would be
stretched along the tree in an upright
position and then the Indian officer
would take his great rawhide strap
soaked and prepared for the purpose
and apply 1t with intense vlgor on the
back Of the unfortunate.
"These blows were dealt only from
the elbow down, but the force used
was amply evidenced by the twisting
squirming contortions Of the victim
While the blood did not come, grea'
red welts were plentiful and the p1iI
was fully manifested, but not In ONT
single instance did l note an outcry
The guilty, with traditional stoiclsm
took their punishment, but never wa
there an outcry. All about the tre'
were gathered the friends and specta
tors, and the manner in which the.
guyed the unfortunate was caution
They had absolutely no mercy and
was informed that the tongue Iashing
accompanying the ordeal were regard
ed as being tenfold worse than tn
actual inf1iction of the blows.
1T used to be the case that the In
dian courts, or, to speak with great az
curacy, the tribal courts, had power t
infiict capital punishment and it wa
only something like six or eight year
ago that such was denied them b
Congress. ."-Houston Post.

THE AUGUST DAYS ARE
NOW FULL OF HAZE
Byron Williams in Western Publisher

The August days are fun of haze,
OF dancing sunbeams in a blaze,
or swimming boys and babbling brooks
OF pleasing. paper covered books,
OF bees and trees and ecstacies,
And fragrance facing with the breezei
Oh, August days so filled with haze
| love to dream beneath your gaze.
Just lazy, ianguid and serene
To bask beneath your golden sheen
Your mood is food, your attitude
With rare contentment is imbued!
Oh. August days replete with maze
OF light and shadow all a-glaze,
You calm the fretful, striving song
That in mans being runs along,
And Groom a tune of rosy noon
That dulls ambition with its rune.
Oh. August days, l hail your lays
OF drowsy, droning, haicyon ways,
| bask. dream, | close my eyes
And open them in Paradise!
Such days, such ways should last always
The lazy, August days of hazel
