IRRIGATION FOR pAKorANs.

Engineers of Reclamation Service Elk
peet Construction to Begin in Spring.
Washington, d. c., Sept. lit is be-
lieved by the engineers of the reclama-
ton service in charge of the work that
so far as the engineering features are
concerned, the Williston. Nesson and
'Buford-Trenton pumping projects in
North Dakota will be ready for on
lstruction next spring.
During the latter part of August a
party of engineers visited North Da-
kota to locate feasible pumping prof.
ects. An examination vas made and
Chief Engineer f. III. Newell directed
that preliminary surveys be pushed to
completion as soon as practicable, that
land owners whose properties would
under the works might ave clear
understanding Of the plans of h re-
clamation service and full knowledge Of
cost of water right.
The banks Of the Missouri river, be-
tween Fort Buford and Bismarck, 300
miles, have been carefully Investigated
and it Is believed to be feasible to lift
he water of the river to the low flats
by pumping.
/. Extremely favorable features are
found in the abundance of water and
in h cheap and plentiful supply Of
fuel. The Buford-Trenton project as
planned will cover approximately 49,
700 acres. the Williston project 5000.
and the Nesson project 2 $500 acres. A
board of consulting engineers will o n
vene at Williston, N. D., September IS,
to consider designs for these systems.

MATTHEWS NOT so PURE.
Harvard's Colored Star said to Have Played
Summer Baseball for several seasons.

There are indications Of another athletic
scandal in the near future. and this time
over William C.. Matthews. Harvard's negro
ba scball star. Matthews received some little
prominence recently through being featured
as one Of the few men in college who had
not PLAYED summer baseball while all un-
dcrgrai late. A statement from Matthews
which practically corroborated this was
printed. Immediately after graduation
Matthews Joined the Burlin gton team Of the
Vermont State League aud stories began to
crop up about him. Yesterday these rumors
crystallizei into definite charges. made by
those who are In a position to know that
Matthews played summer ball for several
seasons. These char ges are to be brought
to the attention OF the Harvard athletic
council and they will be investi gated
thoroughly or course at this time nothin g
can be done to Matthews by the athletic
authori ties OF the institution from which
he has been graduated. but at any event they
can censure him publicly for the duplicity
OF which he was guilty IL the charges are
Aside from this, there is little war on in
