CHANCES OF LlFE.
cleraymen Seem to Live the Lonqest
and R~artenders the Shortest.

Londo Leader: What occupation in
satfe offers man the best prospect OF
long life? is a question often asked. DR..
Schofield. late lecturer and examiner
Tor the National Health society, has
given a table of longevity which sup
plies an answer
E~videntally the Christian ministry is
h most healthful of all occupations.
Clergy" who head the list, live more
than twice as long as the average mem
Oers OF other professions. Monochrome
est ministers die n little faster.
The complete list works out thus in
of longevity: Clergy (55 per
cent?. dissenting ministers, farmers,
agricultural laborers, grocers. lawyers.
drapers, coal miners. watchmakers, ar
fists. shoemakers. bakers. clerks. chem
lists. green grocers. tailors. Doctors,
butchers. painters. musicians, cab and
tbus men, sweeps, publicans. metal min
ers. hawkers, London laborers, barmen.
Descent from a good stock, temperate
habits n small. but assured, incomes
are said TO be factors in the long life OF
the clergy.
Farmers would show up better if
they spent less money in drink
"Grocers owe their higher death rate
to the spirits they consume"
Lawyers would be better off IL it were
mot that after forty-five they die off
more quickly.
Drapers die largely from consump-
ton. owing to the amount Of dust en-
countered in their business. but the
surprisingly good health OF Goa miners
is probably u to the harmlessness OF
o dust.
Bakers die largely from drink and
suicide,
Clerks alone live to the present aver
age age of e. ty-three.
Musicians u 'nde all organ grinders

IRRIGATION IN THE MILK
RIVER VALLEY,

Montana is coming in for a
big share of the general pros
perity of the country, and it
will only be few short years
when she will rank with any of
the northwestern states in aeri-
cultural greatness. The recent
act of the Interior Department
OF the United States in setting
aside 81, 100000 toward reclaim
ing three or four hundred
thousand acres in the Milk
River Valley is but a beginning
of'a much vaster development
of this section as the needs
grow apace. Already the agri-
cultural worth of this to be
famous valley has been ade-
quately demonstrated in the re.
suits which have followed the
irrigation works already estab-
listed. It has been successful
ly proven that all kinds of agri-
cultural products grow in great
abundance wherever irrigation
is used. The soil is naturally
rich and needs only moisture
to make it yield prolitically.
The Great Northern Railway
furnishes adequate transporta-
ton facilities, its main line
practically cutting the valley
i'll two. The fact that the gov
ernment has decided to begin
immediate operations will
prove great incentive to the
people of that section who have
always believed in the future
of their country and will open
to settlement a vast area of
rich land to the homeseeker
and investor.

REPORTED MURDER.

For several days rumors have
been circulating in the city
that Amandus Olson who was
a student at the Lutheran
Bible school here for a time
last winter had been murdered
at Mohall. From a private let
ter from the pastor of the
church at Mohall with which
Mr.. Olson was connected we
CLEAN the following details: On
Wednesday morning May 3rd,
Mr.. Olson who was teaching in
the parochial school at Mohall,
left his home on a bicycle for
the school which he never
reached alive. The scholars
waited for him at the school
until eleven o'clock when they
reported the fact of his non-ap-
pearance and q search was in
stituted. When found the
body was lying across the
wheel in the road with a hand
kerchief in the right hsnd and
the left clasping his forehead.
At first foul play was suspect
ed. but on examination death
was pronounced to be due to
natural causes. The immediate
cause of his death being the
rupture of a blood vessel in the
brain. Mr.. Olson had been q
widower for more than a year
and leaves a little daughter
who lives with her grandpar-
ents near DeLamere.

WATER METERS.
Comment on a subject which
10 a live issue in Wahpeton.
People favor meter system
when they come to understand
it.
In water reports published
the following opinions are Civ
en- relating to the ,stoppage of
waste water, Edmund Mather,
president of the water board,
Harrisburg, Pa, says: "Of
course you have to be govern
ed, somewhat, by the intel.
ligence of the people with whom
you have to deal; but it must
be. remembered that they do
not understand the situation,
and, as a rule, they have to be
educated to feel that they are
entitled to all the water they
can get by paying as little for
it as possible. It is the worst
kind of folly to have the pres
sure reduced in your mains by
careless or ignorant people
wasting water. 1t is fatal to
economical management. Some
people say, Water is free,' and
so it is-in the river and wells.
But, when you deliver it in the
house under a pressure of forty
to fifty pounds per square inch,
it costs money, and it is the
service of the pumping, keep
ing the reservoir ready for
emergencies, keeping street
mains, valves, and fire hydrants
in repair that you are paying
for-not the water"
7. r. Dunn, city engineer of
Petersburg, Va, said: 1--WE
have in use about 1900 meters,
which are giving good results.
Before their installation we
pumped daily an average of
100000 gallons. Within three
months after installation our
pumping was reduced to daily
average of 100000, which aver
age has not been exceeded af-
ter three years. notwithstand-
ing 300 increase in water TAX
ers. We never had any trouble
with the water takers after the
first two or three months, and
if there is any objection to the
system in the city we do not
know it,"
The engineer of Danville, Va.
says: "It took me six years tc
persuade our council to adop,
meters. 1t resolved itself into
the question of expending $4O,.
GOO for a new pump and main
or $4,000 for meters, and the
latter proposition was accept
ed. At the time of their
adoption we had s36 water
takers. The average daily con-
sumption per capita was 12e
gallons, and it ran up to 15C
gallons in the summer. The
pumping capacity was 1,5OO,.
600 gallons per day of twenty
four hours, and the pump was
kept at work day and night,
including Sundays, in order tc
meet the demand on the ser.
vice. We purchased a mete,
for every service, and when
half of them had been set, we
had to discharge the nigh,
pumping force; when all were
set, the day force pumped only
seven and one~half hours pc,
day, and the supply was ample
The year before putting in
meters we pumped 5O9,OOO,Oo(
gallons; the year after. $4,000,
600 gallons, and everybody had
an abundant supply of water
The cost of water been reduced
from fifty to sixty per cent
Everybody is now in favor o1
meters, and the average daily
per capita consumption il
about thirty gallons"
