BLOW TO PEASANTRY.
Russian Authorities to Precent Trials
in Law Courts.

OOUT --. -T.
Moscow, May 1.-THE governor Of
the province of Vladimir has issued in
structions to the local authorities of
the districts not to allow the peasants
to apply to barristers to support their
cases in the law courts.
The reason assigned for this unusual
order is because the "barristers are
immoral persons, who always try to
secure illiterate clients with revolu-
tionary promises"
The effect of the order can readily
be understood. as it will leave the
ipeasantry helpless to resist by legal
steps any grievance they may have,
while landlords will be able to retain
their own lawyers without interfer-
ence.

In his recent book, Child Slaves Of
Great Britain" Robert Fl. Sherard
writes: There are thousands of our
poor children in London starving, not
on account of the poverty of the par
ents, but by reason of the ignorance
and sloth of the mothers. They know
nothing of cookery, they wish TO know
nothing. They dc not care for the trou-
bic. In every London SUM you will
find a fried fish shop, or a cooked
meat shop, or a grocer who sells
cheese n pickles and potted things.
1t is much easier and less worriting-
like to send the children out with cop
pers for a penn-'orth of fish and
chips or a bit of cheese and pickles
than to cook anything for them"

OF this project, there shall be begun
under the terms of the reclamation
act certain definite parts of the con

This authorization will insure the

ton of the Engle dam. but does not in
any way interfere with or complicate
the international questions involved
in this matter.
Site Near EngIe One of the Best in
the West.
The reservoir site near Engle is
II of the most feasible locations for
storage found in the west. The re-
servoir will be of 40 miles il length
and its capacity will be 1000. 600
acre feet are ample for 10000 acres
OF land to he supplied by it. The cost
% the project. including the reservoir
and all diversion works and canals
above FL Paso, is estimated at ST.
100000 or Sac per acre on 100000
acres. This is below the value of ir-
rigated land in the valley. and those
best informed pronounce the project
desirable at the price.
