Verm ont Man Speaker of the
Oklahoma House.

The election of Jesse 3. Norton former
ly of Wmtsteld and twice representa-
tive from that town, aus speakers Of the
House of representatives. i'm Oklahoma
territory. will interest his friends in Mad
river valley and every where. He went
west in 1874 at the time the Cherokee
strip was being opened. He saw the
advantages Of that growing country. and
decided to return east dispose Of his
business and go back again, which he
did about five years ago. He went into
politics after settling in Ponca City in that
territory. 1t has been said that he was
elected an alderman while on the way
out. The confidence and esteem of his
neighbors was attested in the fact he
was four times elected to represent his
district in the General Assembly. He
served on important committees, and was
active in the passage of the bill regulat-
ing creameries. Because of his expert
ence in legislative matters, Mr. Norton
was early regarded as a suitable man
for the position of speaker of the lower
house. He will wind up in Congress
some day, saws an Oklahoma paper.
Mr.. Norton is engaged in the grain
and elevator business at several sta
lions on the line of the Santa Fe
road, and is prospecting. While the Ok
lahoma legislature was in session it had
Carrie Nation for a speaker in joint
assembly. Vermont representatives will
be interested in the fact that before add
journing Saturday the House adopted |
resolution requiring the clerk to donate
S3 to each member to buy postage
stamps.

Preparing for More Business.

The Keene Sentinel says: ''The Rut-
land road which recently came under the
management of the New York Central is
apparently preparing to extend Its bust
ness facilities in Bellows Falls, where it
has bought lot of land FOR freight yard
purposes. The freight coming from the
Rutland road through Keene is heavy.
1t is quite probable that the Central will
increase largely the Rutland business of
all kinds, through its various subsidiary
lines, and while its New York city and
Canada route may be of first importance
Boston business seems likely to receive
due attention"

on sidewalk ratings and wait on street
corners. There they come down the
street, arm in arm-two young girls
with fresh, rosy faces. Abundant
braids of hair fall down their backs.
Natty dresses which come to their
shoe-tops. They are school girls and
in their early teens.
"There is no chaperon and no escort
The girls are out alone and the hour is
rather late. A couple of smart fellows
-"knowing young men"-follow the
girls. The young men and girls are
strangers to one another, and yet there
is some free masonry between them.
The glances of the young men are bold
The eyes Of the girls are not timid as
they turn them backward with the
hint of smile. Flippant words are
exchanged.
"But what can one do? If their
natural guardians are not there to pro-
tect, what right have you to interfere?
Here and there may be found brave
spirit whom great pity will move to
stay and warn, and take the risk, but
such Good Samaritans are few. And
so young girls-infant women with
fine passions and powers of woman
hood-thinking to tread the primrose
path of dalliance, go down to ruin.
"Whose fault is it? Is it the fault of
the girls? Who sent them out into
the night or permitted them to 20 I'M

to warn them of temptation? Who
supposed that when they had dressed
their girls as well as their neighbours

water The Colorado River though
much of its course lies in a canyon so
deep that it cannot be coaxed out to

from the main stream. Systems heading
near Yuma, Ariz., are turning desert
Islands into a region of marvellous rich

"Not until 1897 was irrigation applied
to coast land in the Southern States sup
posed before then to be suitable for
pasturage only. Now they are produc-
ing big crops of rice upon thousands of
acres. American rice is a crop with
vast future.
"Texas and Arizona are curiously
Hdnulcappeu as 10 irrigation by the
present treaty with Mexico which forbids
the impounding of any part of the waters
of the Rio Grande. Probably in the
future there will be no difficulty in ar
ranging this matter Streams subject to
sudden floods, like the Rio Grande and
the Mississippi, are improved by the con-
struction of headwater storage systems.
These tend to diminish floods. Extreme
low water is also indirectly minimized by
headwater impounding. Rain tends to
increase in frequency in the dry season
upon lands abundantly supplied with
water from reservoirs. Evaporation
cools the air and promotes rain"

The following from the Bennington
Banner contains world of truth:
"The brightest remark we have hea /
of lately was by Bennington lady ~
her doctor. She was i'll in bed with 4,
serious disease of her digestive apparatus
and was asked what she thought w =
the cause of her trouble. Pointing to >
mass of score cards and souvenirs, ca e.,
one representing a party or a soci /
gathering of some sort she replied;
"Those are what all me-" She was
everlastingly right too. Before the
women talk about reforming the men
and society generally. they should show
their ability by reforming party refresh
ments which kill more women every
year than the plague in India"
We know of several just such cases
where young, vigorous women have
broken down and the doctors have told
them it was not their domestic duties,
but society that caused the sickness.

What lrrie alton Has Done.

Few people have any idea of the vast
benefits irrigation has conferred upon
this country. Crops worth a hundred
million of dollars are raised annually in
what was once known as "The Great
American Desert" The following from
the World is full of valuable information
on this subject:
Irrigation is as useful in New York
State farming as it is in many places
where it is supposed to be more appli-
cable to the conditions. The new census
bulletin Just issued states that artificial
provision against drought is used in
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island.
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Florida, Alabama and
Mississippi. Exceptionally high yields
of fruit and vegetables are reported as
made possible by its use.
Thousands of miles of canals. saws
the bulletin, are distributing water upon
more than 100000 acres of land, produc-
ing crops worth sl0O, 0OO,0 600 year.
"The increase from 1899 to 1902 was 20
per cent; S93,OO0,OOO has been invested
in irrigation works. Running streams
provide three.fourths 'of the irrigation
now in use, wells and springs the re-
mainder.
California leads in cost of irrigation
works. Utah coming next. The Mormons
settled in an arid tract which they have
made to blossom like garden by bring
ing water down from the mountains.
In irrigated area Colorado ranks first.
But t5c California irrigated land averages
more valuable and is more intensively
worked.
"More than 90 per cent, of the coun-
try's irrigated farms are in the semi
