OBSTACLE TO IRRIGATION.
Owners OF Land In West Would Like
v TO Get More Water.

Owners OF Land Ii West Would Like
TO Get More Water.
Washington, Oct. 5-One Of the
principal officers Of the reclamation
service, who has recently returned
from the west, said in an interview
that the chief obstacle to rapid pro-
gress in the semi-arid portion of the
country arises out of the essential
requirement of the reclamation act
that water shall not be supplied by
the government to more than 160
acres in the hands of any one land
owner. N%
Practically am of the land which
may be reclaimed by government
works in Washington and North Da-
kota Is now in private ownership. The
opportunities of reclamation are linn
ited-probably not to exceed one per
cent of the area of these states can
ever be. irrigated to advantage. This
one per cent being now in the hands
of individuals or corporations it re-
suits that these persons have prac-
tically a monopoly Of irrigable land.
The government cannot carry out the
terms of the reclamation act without
the consent and active cooperation of
these monopoMes. ..... MI
They appreciate this position, and
believing that the government must
spend its funds on these particular
tracts, they IRE holding out for the
best terms obtainable. The values of
these reclaimable lands have increas-
ed enormously, but not content with
this, the owners are trying to force
the government to more liberal con-
cessions. On the one hand public
clamor is being stimulated to immedi-

Advices to the state department,
which have been furnished by Consul
Payne, who fs stationed at st. Thomas,
intimate that the, purchase was Of.
fected through collision between the
German and Danish governments. The
anxiety Of the authorities arises not
only from this fact, but from the fur.
Their fact that the Hamburg American
company Is subventioned by the Ger
man government. Its steamers are
available In time Of war for use as
auxiliary cruisers and It's coaling sta.

government in order to carry on hos.

was referred, upon It's receipt, to the
navy department and is believed to
have been sent to the general board,
though this could not be confirmed.
From what experts Of the navy said,
however. it developed that the general
sentiment is that 1t would be against

RaIsss Corn, Alfalfa and Glover.
Wahpetons Globe: Peter Mssnussen
10 one of the best and most ssiccessfui
farmers In the county, and he takes
pride in showing the products Of his
farm. For many years Mr.. Magnus-
SEN has grown corn. alfalfa, bromus
inermns. timothy. red clover and other
grasses, and while he raises none Of
them extensively, he always has good
results to- show for ibis labor. The>fln-
est alfalfa we have ever eeen was
grown by Magnlssen This year, and
his bromus, timothy and clover were
better than any shown at the state
fair. In corn he shows good fields Of
several varieties, and the northwest
ern dent Is perfect. Some OF the ears
are twelve inches In length, with small
eobs and splendid kernels. It is amus-
Ing to see the knowing smile on the
1owan's face as he looks at this corn
and asks crednlously, Where was
this grown? He processes to believe
it to be Iowa corn shipped In here for
exhibition purposes. Almost every
farmer In Richlan6 county who raises
stock has his regular acreage Of corn
and most Of them now have fields Of
timothy and clover, The increase in
these crops means that live stock is
increasing on the farms, and with live
stock comes prosperity The charac.
ter OF our soil Is changing, and farmers
must change the character of their

New Walk For Women.

From London comes startling re-
ports of a new figure and new pose
which have been called into existence
by the winter fashions. Women who
have for the last year been lightly
tripping in the short "trottoir" skirt
have found that they must adapt
their style of walking to the new Or
der of Things. A slow, languorous
movement of the limbs is therefore
cultivated, as being more conductive
to grace when wearing the long "red-
ingote' coat and the newly intro
duced princess styles.
The new walk is just little sug-
gestive of the "Gibson girl" but in a
modified form. The figure is held up
right at the shoulders, with the
slightest forward bend at the waist
the head is erect, the chin in and the
legs swing from the hips. The cor
rect poise is not attained all at once
according to the London Express-and
at the physical culture schools, where
society is now graduating i'm the arr
of how to walk in a 'redingote." some
very drastic orders are given. The
practice of sleeping on the back or
one side is fatal to the new poise
If the woman of fashion would look
tall and stately she must sleep face
downward, with a pillow tightly
wedged under her chin in order to
avoid suffocation.

about nothing, and anyway you know
my fighting days are over" Eyes,

loungers near, for everyone loved Cap
tain Enoch-and were beginning to
hate Captain Dick-and two of the
bright college boys that composed the
late sailing party FASTENED back to do
what they could to prevent the threat
from being put into execution.
Suddenly sort of purring sound
was heard behind them, as Seats

voice, he said captain Dick, don't

They Worked the Fraternity.

The Grand Regent of the Royal Ar
canum, Of the District of Columbia,
tells story on himself, how after pa
tiently urging, persuading and nagging,
he managed to get a fellow acquaint-
ance to join his order. This new mem
ber,-say Mr.. Smith-after joining was
at first delinquent in paying his dues,
and the great mogul of the fraternity
had much trouble in getting him to pay
up. After a time, much to his surprise,
Mr.. Smith sent his money in promptly
on the day it was due; then he sent in
his money two months in advance. A
short time after, Mrs. Smith came into
the Grand Regents place of business
and said, wont you please come
around to see Mr. Smith, he is very ill.,"
OF course the kind-hearted Regent
went. He found Smith very i'll, indeed,
SO sick that the physician had told
him his time on earth was limited, and
Smith took occasion to thank the Re
gent for getting him to join the order
SO that he might not pass away leav-
ing his family unprovided for. Smith
died. His widow then beseeched the
Regent to try to get her some work to
do so that she might support her
family. The Grand Regent was again
obliging, and by hard work and an I'M
limited amount of red tape, got her
through the civil service examination
and she obtained a position in one OF
the Government Departments. Just be
fore receiving her notice to go to work
(about six months after her husbands
demise) she appeared again at the
Grand Regents Office and said:
II want to thank you for what yor
have done for me. l have just re
ceived my appointment, but I dom
think l will take the place; 1 hav,
something better. l want to ask on,

street bordering on the Wharves was
lined with them, wnere Jack when
ashore was wont to leave not only all
his hard-earned dollars, but his manli-
ness and happy disposition, and to be
transformed into fighting and quar-
relsome brute.
Late on an afternoon, as Captain
Gray and "Scat' were nearing their
landing place with party Of young
people, Captain Dick Hardaker, full
of bad gin and worse temper, stag
gered down to the wharf, and with
deep-muttered curses watched them
as they prepared to disembark. Years
before Captain Dick had been one Of
the towns best-trusted sailing mas
tiers and most-respected representa-
tatives but on an unfortunate voyage
had run his ship on the rocks and
lost crew and cargo. In spite of his
personal bravery and proof that the
accident was unavoidable and
through no fault of his, the Scotch
verdict of mot proven" mad been
given, and he had failed to get anoth-
er ship This and the mishap itself
had soured his disposition and
changed him from bluff-hearty sail
or, into drunken, quarrelsOme loafer,
He was man of powerful frame,
standing six feet two inches in his
stocking feet, and was given wide
berth by all his quondam friends and
shipmates, especially when, as was
most generally the case, he was under
the influence of bad liquor. The TIVE
captains had been old friends, and hat
weathered many a gale together, bu
now seldom spoke. That morning
Captain Dick had met the pleasure
party and offered his boat and ser
vices, but his habits were well known
and his blood-shot eyes bore proof
only too plainly, of the last night
rotations, which the many mornin!
drains had failed to rectify. Whel
ten minutes later the party engage,
old Enoch, and one of the boys flip
PANTY remarked, mo Scotch verde
or bad whiskey for u.s." Captain Dicl
turned away with an angry oath an,
muttered that he would take his re
venge later.
After the boat was tied up an,
Enoch and his son were leaving tn

Old Enoch Gray lived in the now

Old Enoch Gray lived in the now
almost forgotten town of Castaway,
on the coast of Maine, and his son
"Scat" lived with him.
Old Enoch was a griZZled veteran
of over seventy years, a relic of the
civil war, in which he had done good
service as a pilot in the fleets Of Du-
pont and Porter but was now badly
crippled by rheumatism, and the re-
suits of his fifty years exposure to
the wind and weather in all quarters
of the globe.
He had long been a widower, and
the only one left of his numerous
children was this son, christened
Samuel Carter, now twenty-five years
of age, and as long and lank and
homely as could be found on the en-
tire coast. Because Samuel Carter
had kind of feline expression and
from his earliest babyhood could climb
Ike cat, anything from the old lib
erty pole on shore to the mast of a
vessel at sea when the winds were
blowing great guns and because he
had habit of making a sort Of pur-
ring sound, when about to speak,
: the children had first nicknamed him
PUSSY" and then someone said
Scat and "Scat' it was thenceforth
Old Enoch was the captain of one
of the many pleasure boats and now
the most sought for, when the sum
mer boarders wanted man in whose
knowledge of seamanship they had
the most implicit confidence, and
whose prophecies of the winds and al
possible storms were so much more tC
be relied upon than "Old Improba
bilities," as they called the Weather
Bureau at Washington. If the party
was to be large and the trip was to be

you strike my father" Captain Dick
stared in stupid amaZement. "Why,
you young fool, clear out of my way.
I've half mind to double you up and
drop you overheard, before l do the
old man; get out of my way" he
Numbered.
The pupils of "Scat's" eyes mar
rowed, as do those or his feline pro-
totype when cornered by some big
dog, but he stood still, seemingly I'M
cornered and looking as ungainly and
awkward as if at school examina-
ton. The captain started towards
him, with his arm raised and his
powerful fist clenched, and old Enoch
hastily grabbed club that lay on the
wharf. But Scat said softly:
"Never mind, Pap-Just you watch
me-" Stepping rapidly backward, as
the captain continued TO advance, he
deity calculated the distance, and as
quick as lightning threw hand
spring. Instead of landing on his
feet, he shot out those immense hob
nailed shoes with fearful force, land
ing them both full in The captains
face, cutting it to the bone in a
dozen places. Captain Dick dropped
as if hit by cannon ball, without
even groan.
A week later, when he slowly
dragged himself from his bed, and
got the first view of his swollen eyes,
his broken nose, and his generally
cut up and distorted features, he NUT
tered, what whale of squall
must have struck us" Then opened
his cabin door. walked out, and the
good people of the village saw him
no more.
