THE COST OF SALOONS,
Seven Thousand Dollars Saved to the
People by Closing Beer Halls One
SUNDAY

The following letter written to the
Kansas city Star, states clearly the
enormous cost Of intemperance. from
financial standpoint:
To the Star: In st. Louis this week
an attorney close to the liquor inter-
ests told me that Busch says the lid
on i'm st. Louis is costing him over
$1,000 every Sunday. II that is the
cost to one brewery in one city, what
must be the saving in the entire state
to the people, and how much must it
mean to people in legitimate lines OF
trade? This money is, of course. ac-
tually saved, for the Sunday demand,
not being then supplied, cannot be
supplied another day, for that demand
has dicd-and Governor Folk is GER
tainly entitled to great credit.

RECLAIM MORE LAND.


Pat Gallagher of Pocatello. who
came to Boise to attend the wedding
of his brother, Mervin Gallagher, and
Miss Grace Lindsay, says hopes are
now entertained that tract of about
$4,000 acres of land adjacent to Po-
catello will be put under water in
short time, says the Boise States
man.
There are two plans under consid-
Grafton. One contemplates the con-
struction of 50-mile canal from the
Snake river. The other has in view
the utilization of the governments
Blackfoot river reservoir site and the
building of about 80 miles of canal.
"The construction of either system
would mean great deal to Pocatel-
To-" said Mr.. Gallagher. The Gate
City has long suffered because II had
no agricultural country around II.
With $4,000 acres of land under cul-
tivation the city would be given an
additional resource of the highest
value that, coupled with the railroad,
mining and stock interests, would
cause II to increase rapidly in popu-
lation and valuation"

/ A lively contest has been started
! In the National Irrigation congress
by Zera Snow of Portland, who has
! introduced a resolution asking the
federal congress to amend the pres
ent irrigation law so as to remove the
restriction that now limits to 100
acres the amount OF land that may be
held by any one land owner in a
tract reclaimed by the government
says the Oregon Daily Journal Mr..
Shows resolution is as follows:
Whereas By the terms of the leg
islation of congress. providing for the
construction of irrigation works in the
states and territories, It is provided
that
No right to the use of water for
land in private ownership shall be
sold for a tract exceeding $50 acres
of any one land owner; and
whereas, at the time of the enact
ment of the law in question, titles to
irrigible lands in excess of the maxi
mum acreage to which the right is
limited has been acquired by many
settlers; and
Whereas. the officers Of the recla-
nation service of the United States
have imposed regulations requiring
land owners to submit to an enforced
sale of such excess area before such
land owners are permitted TO par
ticipate in the benefits from the pro-
posed irrigation system; and
"Whereas, there is no law prohib-
iting the acquisition by any one land
owner of lands In excess of leo acres
after water rights thereto have been
attached. thus rendering the restric-
ton unavailable for the purpose for
which it was intended, and. IL such
legislation were legally possible. it IS
of doubtful wisdom; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the National Irriga-
tion congress in convention assem-
bled, that the best interests of the
public and of the reclamation service
demand repeal of the restriction i'm
posed by the act of June II, 1902,
prohibiting the acquisition of water
rights to more than 100 acres by any
one land owner, in go far as the same
applies to land owners and claimants
whose rights and titles had been ac-
quired at the time Of the passage of
the act.
Resolved that copies of this reso-
luton be sent to the senator's and
representatives of Arizona. Califor-
mia, Colorado, Idaho. Kansas, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico.

The Rev. Daniel Flickinger Will

the wild in the forests of West Afri-

later removed to America and edu-
Gated as a Christian missionary, only
to return to his native country TO re-
sumo life of heathenism and be-
come chief of the Devil Worship
| ers.
| Private advices received at Hunt
ington, Ind. in private letter from
Missionary Stults, at Freeton, West
Africa, state that DR.. Wilberforce
d'ed in the tribal settlement of the
natives; but the date and circum-
stances OF his end are not revealed.
The story of Wilberforce offers a
rare opportunity for the study of psy-
cology. Forty-five years ago the Rev.
Daniel Flckinger, missionary of the
United Brethren in Christ, was in
Africa on "A missionar errand when a
little negro boy was born and he was
asked to name him. He suggested
the name of Daniel Flickinger Will
berforce, and at the same time pray
ed that the youngster would grow up
with some of the religious spirit that
animated the famous Bishop wilber-
force.
Twelve years later DR.. Flickinger
ran across this very same negro boy
I'm New York where he was brought
by a missionary to be educated, but
was cast adrift soon after his arrival,
through the death of this mission
ary.
From that day Mr.. Flickinger un-
dertook to educate the boy. He sent
him to public schools at Dayton,
Ohio, and later to Wilberforce Uni
versity. from which institution he left
full-fledged minister of the church.
A year later the young negro mar
ried respected negress of Dayton,
by whom he had four children. Two
sons are being educated at Ottenbein
University in Ohio. They are excep-
tionally bright boys.
Taking his two daughters and wife
the young black minister returned to
Africa to do missionary work among
the natives. He achieved great sue
cess at first and made many con-
verts. although many aborigines did
not take kindly to his efforts. He re-
turned to America for lecture tour
in behalf of the missions, and after
collecting funds resumed his duties
among the Africans.
II was then that the call of the
wild came to him as it did to the dog
hero of Jack London's book. 1t was
subtle calling him back to heathen-
ism. He was invited because of his
position by birth to become chief of
the tribe of Devil Worshipers. He
yielded, cast off the obligations of
Christianity and led their war dances
and fetish practices.
When the missionary board of the
United Brethren in Christ Church
heard of the missionarys desertion
he was dropped from the rolls of the
church and pronounced religious
outcast.
But Wilberforce was far from the
reach of letters of communication
and. perhaps, never heard of the
boards action.
He took five wives and soon be-
came as savage as the widest native. |
He had answered the call of that wild |
nature that was inborn and which
neither religion nor education nor the |
refinements of culture could over |
come. And as such he died
