What does all this great irrigation work OF the gov
eminent throughout the west signify? Simply that the
nation has wisely decided to use the money derived from
the sale of western public lands to make its desert SOL
of value and furnish many home building opportunities
1t means that many men will find employment In the con
struction of dams and canals in every western community
and that finally as the works are completed, one by one
new farm homes will be established, adding to the ma

JOHN LEE PROVES
HIMSELF GOOD RIDER
Cowboy From The Diamond
A. Ranch Gives Ex-
citing Exhibition.
DID SOME BAREBACK STUNTS

Before a crowd of almost 1000 peo-
pie yesterday afternoon, John Lee, of
the Diamond A ranch, les Engle, N.
M, gave one of the best exhibitions of
bronco busting ever seen at Traction
park. Lee rode the broncos with the
saddle and he rode them bareback,
and before the big cowboy got through
performing he had convinced every
person in the crowd that he knew
how to ride and ride well.
The first animal that Lee rode was
a bronco from the Quarter Circle Ten
ranch near Engle. The horse was a
mean one and it tossed and pitched at
q great rate. Lee had no trouble
whatever in riding it, however, and he
received a great ovation when he
drought the conquered bronco up be-
fore the grand stand and took off his
hat in acknowledgment of the ap-
plause he had received.
The crowd was not contented and
repeatedly called for more. In order
to satisfy them, Walter Birchfield,
foreman of the Diamond A ranch,
made a little speech in which he said
that "Maude," one of the widest
mules that ever roamed a prairie,
would be brought forth and Lee would
ride her. After some little delay,
"Maude" was saddled and the fun
| commenced. This mule proved a good
one and could buck with two men as
| good as with one. After the animal
| got tired it was turned back into the
corral.
Lee Rides Bareback.
The crowd thought by this time
that Lee was a great performer, but
the cowboy had another surprise in
store. A second mule was trotted out
and it was some little time before
i they could get the animal quoted
long enough to get the rope around
his nose. The boys did not put a sad
die on the mule, but Lee said he would
ride him bareback. Jumping astride
the mule. the cowboy sat on the ami
mails back. while it went through all
| the contortions known to the bronco.
but without effect. It took only a
few minutes Of Lees riding to let the
mule know that the cowboy was its
master.

END OF EASTERN WAR
OF RUSSIA AND JAPAN
SIGN PEACE TREATY DRAWN
Ar PORTSMOUTH.

washington, Oct. 1.-THE emperor
Of Russia and the emperor of Japan
during the morning signed their re-
spective copies Of the peace treaty,
thus officially ending the war.
Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassa-
dor, called at the state department and
saw Secretary Root. While he had no
official advices on the subject informa-
ton had reached him to the effect that
the emperor of Russia had early in the
day affixed his signature to the copy Of
the treaty drawn at Portsmouth and
engrossed on vellum at st. Petersburg.
It was not necessary for the ambassa-
dor to convey this information off,
cially to the state department., for &C.
cording to the plan previously ar
ranged the Russian foreign Office was
to advise the French government of
the act of signature and that govern
ment in turn was to advise the Japa-
nese government.
A few minutes after noon Minister
Takahira appeared at the state depart
ment with message stating that the
emperor of Japan had signed the treaty
at Toxic. A cablegram was imme-
diately dispatched to Spencer Eddy,
charge of the American embassy at
st. Petersburg, who was Instructed to
inform the Russian foreign Office that
the emperor of Japan had performed
his part and so, both copies of the
treaty having been duly signed and
each OF the great nations lately en-
gagged in hostilities having been off,
eially informed of the fact, the Russo.
Japanese war, which began Feb. 8,
1904, with the attack by Togo's feet
upon the Russian ships at Port Arthur,
terminated officially Oct. IA.
Little remains to be done to meet
the official requirements. Later copies
of the treaties will be actually ex.
changed. @ :

MA MEETS WITH DISASTER

At Least Five Persons Washed Over

Some Seriously, by an Unexpected
Sweep Of WATERFALL the Dead and
Injured Passengers Confined to the
Storage.
New York. Oct. 14.-Five lives are
known to have been lost and more
than thirty persons injured, some of
them seriously, on the Cunard line
steamer Campania last Wednesday
when 4 gigantic wave rolled over the
steamship and swept across deck
thick with steerage passengers. So
sudden was the coming of the disaster
and so great the confusion which at
tended and followed it that even the
officers OF the steamer themselves
were unable on the vessels arrival
here to estimate the full extent of the
tragedy. It is possible that the five
persons known to be missing from the
steerage may not constitute the full
number OF dead.
The Campania was blowing along
under full Roadway last Wednesday
afternoon. A heavy Quartering sea
was running, but the weather condi-
tons were TAR from unpleasant and
the big boats decks were crowded
with passengers. The steerage deck
was covered with merrymakers and
there was nothing to indicate the ap-
preaching disaster when, suddenly, the
big steamer lurched to port and
scooped up an enormous sea. The

across the Storage deck, completely

tings, heavy ratings and other OBJ

near the ratings to prevent passen-

their purpose only in part. So great
