the ball coming in the air and their heads

was the only thing that got away from
the hospital. The heads of RheinSchild and
Curtis were badly cut open, but they will
get over it.

game. Why, we don't even kick shins. -

aggregating s27, 100000. growing out Of the sale
OF the public domain, which is TO be used In
building the reservoirs and dams for the i'm
pounding Of water for irrigation purposes; AMI
one of the important enterprises Of the govern
ment, looking to the irrigation Of nearly three
hundred thousand acres, is the Pathfinder prof.
ect in Wyoming and Nebraska
Especial interest attaches at this time to this
gigantic undertaking of the engineers Of the
Reclamation Service, for the dam is to be built
In the canyon of the North Platte River, Wyom-
iEg. in which Captain John c. Fremont, the
Pathfinder had a narrow escape from death
while shooting the rapids.
At the identical point in the canyon which
was the scene of Fremont accident the recla-
nation engineers have decided to build dam
of solid masonry to hold in check the floods Of
the North Platte River. and to be known as the
Pathfinder DAM concentrating the achieve
ments of the nations daring pioneer and ex-
pIorer. Here in wild and wonderful region the
preliminary work is already under way to con-
troll the floods which are wholly unutilized. but
which annually cause the loss of millions of dol
lars in the destruction Of property.
A million acre-feet of water, not a drop Of
which is now Of use, annually will be directed
through canals and bitches upon three hundred
thousand acres of land with soil of inexhaUstible
fertility, and wanting only irrigation to make it
rival in prOductiveness the valley of the Nile.
Under the terms of the Reclamation act all of
the land under this project which belongs to the
public domain is open to entry under the home
stead law in tracts not exceeding eighty acres,
nor less than forty acres Actual and continual
residence on the land is required, and each
entryman must take water from the government
irrigation system, and pay in annual install
ments not exceeding ten. the prOpOrtionate
amount charged against the land included in
his entry.
Here are some don'ts for intending settlers:
Don't rush out West and take up homestead
under a government project without thinking
over the matter.
Don't imagine that the irrigator can succeed
without work. He must toll to win.
Don't go West without some ready money
You will need it for necessities, for lumber and
nails, for farm implements. house must be
built for yourself and family. A stable is need
I'd for horses and cattle.
Don't think you can live in town and still work
your farm. You must live on the farm, not con-
StTuctively, but actually.
Don't sit down and wait for crop. Help it
along by intelligent effort.
Don't imagine putting water the soil will
make up the cultivation. The land must be
cultivated
Don't forget that farming in the arid region
Is not like farming in the East The Fastener
who locates in the desert has much to learn.
Don't get discouraged.

sLoss-sHEFFIELo COMPANY.
1t May Enter the Southern Steel Rail
Field.
From the wall Street Journal.

From the Wall Street Journal.
Although the Sloss- Sheffield Iron and
Steel company has not formally consid-
cred the question of erecting a steel rail
mill in the Birmingham district, there is
reason to believe that the matter will be
carefully canvassed later.
The pronounced success OF the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad company in
making steel rails from the southern
ores has drawn attention forcibly to the
possibility of the steel rail trade in that
section.
The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad
company has added nearly 5000 600 TO its
annual gross business by the erection of
It's rail mill. At least one-half or more
of this is net profit. 1t has all the work
its mill can turn out this year. 1t could
have secured contracts for at least one
third more rails than Its booked tonnage
had its capacity been greater.
With plenty of ore and coal at its
command and with other facilities ade-
quate to the demands that a rail mill
would make upon raw material pig iron,
coke and billets, It is not surprising that
the Sheffield should take up for
careful consideration the question of
erecting rail mill near Birmingham.

Successful In Atlanta.

1.-THE proposed lyceum course in Blrm-
ingham should prove popular If 1t is start
ea on the proper basis and continued
along the right lines" said an Albanian
yesterday. For a long time Atlanta
would not support a lecturer, musician
or any one like that when they came to
IT,, theatres. A lyceum lecture associa-
ton was organized with annual tickets
emitting the holder to two seats to each
performance and the best lecturers in the
country were brought to the city.
1.-THE result was that the theatre is
always packed to hear these lectures.
Following this a musical lyceum was
organized along the same lines, and it
has also proven a great success, packed
houses greeting every musician who
comes in the course.
1.-The first year In Atlatna ten lectures
were given, and the ticket books were 81
each, emitting the holder to two reserved
seats for each lecture. The treasury had
money In 1t at the end of the season.
The second year the number of lectures
was increased to 70. and so on each year
the number has grown, and the associa-
ton Is on an excellent financial basis
The association accomplishes a double
good. 1t brings the greatest lecturers, with
the most advanced thought to Atlanta
and It also breeds love for pure. refresh
ing entertainment in the hearts of the
Atlantians. 1t likewise sharpens the wits
of the people to listen to and discuss at
frequent intervals during the winter
months up-to-date subjects.
Frequently also the association has
popular entertainments in the way of
famous orchestras. reading from famous
humorists and illustrated talks on artic
trips, the various wars rid similar sub
jects.
"The musical association, which is of
ficered by practically the same persons
as the lecture association. has brought
famous singers, musicians. orchestras and
bands to Atlanta. and the people are be-
coming better and better educated in
music. They are also appreciative. Such
a lyceum course in Birmingham would be
an excellent thing"

sentiment Of the people Of the state.
It would seem to be only just that
those who do not prize the privilege
enough TO exercise 1t ought to forfeit
It." This Of course is better than hale
ing the non-yoters to prison, but per
haps Acknowledgement will be the first
step, and the pen will be utilized BY
the later reformers.
Some states have laws which call
for compilations of all non-yoters, and
In one or two states extra jury duty
has been put upon them. and pos
sibly some states will say that the
men who will not do their duty at the
polls shall do extra duty on the public
roads. There is in fact many ways
of reaching the citizen who is delin'
quent on election day.
The number of men who refuse to
vote at state or local elections is very
great, and fully $4,000 qualified cleo
