IRRIGATION

The report of the secretary Of the
state board of irrigation shows that
considerable progress has been made
in irrigation matters during the last
two years. While the number of new
projects has not been great, much has
been accomplished in the way of i'm
provement of existing canals and ad-
ditional area has been brought under
cultivation. The United States recla-
nation service has undertaken large
project which has for its object the
storage of all the flood waters of the
North Platte river and the reclamation
Of thousands of acres of land in Ne
braska and Wyoming. 1t is hoped this
plan will work to a successful conclu-
sion, thereby adding large productive
area to our domain.

THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT.

The military department has as
sumed a position of much greater i'm
portance since the enactment of the
present militia law by congress, ap-
proved January q, 1908. The purpose
of the law is to recognize and make ef-
fective the volunteer force organized
under the title of the national guard
as the reserve army of the nation.
In order that the state may receive
its full quota of assistance and that
its privileges under the federal law
may materialize, a sufficient appropria-
ton should be made to carry into eff
feet the designs Of the enactment, in
sure safety of public stores, provide
suitable quarters for company organi-
cations, and extend announcement to
the young men who voluntarily as
sumo the duties of q soldier, duties
that may at any time become arduous
ovid dangerous in the enforcement Of
law and protection Of life and prop
erty.

GETTING HURT TO

Woman Charged With Figuring In

p BUFFALO, N. Y, August 1.-Detec-
tives from police headquarters arrest
ed Edward Riley, Frank Bobson and

conspiracy to defraud a street rail.

1t is stated by the detectives that
in April last, while Riley was a con.
ductor on the Brooklyn Rapid Tran.
sit Railroad, Mrs. Bobson. presumably
under another name. received an al.
legged injury. for which she obtained
in settlement of her claim for dam,
ages $500.
Riley next went to Baltimore where
he was employed as a motorman on
a suburban line. While running his
car up a hill collision occurred be.
tween his car and another of the
same line. and Mrs. Bobson made a
claim for damages.
An employee of the company witness
ed this accident and reported to the
superintendent that the impact was
so slight and the immediate gathering
OF names by Bobson so businesslike
that the whole proceeding looked sus-
picious. While the investigation was
going on Riley went to Pittsburg and
got job as conductor. ~
Bobson, 1t is alleged, asked another
conductor named Gibler if he did not

in Cleveland who say that william
Rockefeller is as clean and scrupu-
lous in speech and action as any one:
would wisb-at least in his later
years. These declare that they knew
the father OF the richest man in the
world as kindly. sympathetic, gen.
erous man, liked by all who come in
contact with him.
They account for his departure
from Cleveland long before his wife
died, her home to the end being in
this city. on the ground that he suf.
fered greatly from asthma and was
obliged to flee from the winter eli
mate of Northern Ohio.
These old Clevelanders. however,
say that he often returned in the
summer, always with new stories of
his adventures and observations in
the West. He visited Cleveland sew
eral times after the death of his wife.
But no one who will talk of his com
ings and goings seems to know when
he was here last or where he went
after his departure.
Able to Take Care Of Himself.
One theory. at least. is never
thought of in connection with his dis
appearance by any one who knew the
man. No one doubts that even in his
old age he is well able to take care
OF himself. 1t would not be imagined
that he fell victim to foul play, even
IL Frank Rockefeller had not stated
few days ago that his father was
alive and well. One story will Illus.
trate the readiness of William A.
Rockefeller to protect himself when
he was far advanced in years.
On Far Western trip-one of the
many unexplained journeys which
marked his career from boyhood-
he found himself obliged to choose
between night without shelter and
lodging In an inn which bore an evil
name for mysterious disappearance
OF men last seen. dead or alive. when
they entered its doors. Rockefeller
took the chance Of death for the sake
of comfort.
Before going to bed the landlord
proposed shooting at lighted candle
in the shed of the tavern. Loafers
hanging around the bar shot with va.
rying degrees of skill. The new ar.
rivals declined. Urged by the inn.
keeper, William A. Rockefeller at last
consented to Sc what he could do. He
shot off the wick in the candle three
or four times in as many attempts,
using big revolver.
Guest Was Not Disturbed.
The master of the tavern did not
forget his craftsmanship and the
guests sleep was not disturbed.
When the travellers went to their
room they noticed that the door had
no lock. Thereupon they decided to
take turns keeping watch till morn.
Ing. While Rockefeller was on guard.
sitting in a chair tilted against the
fcotboard of the bed, he was KEYED
up to the highest pitch of vigilance
by the sound of stealthy steps on the
stair, near his door. 1t was then past
midnight The door was cautiously
pushed partly open and the light of
a dark lantern slowly stole about the
bed. 1t showed the crack shot of the
evening with two reviewers covering
vital parts of the landlords murder

I've made mistake"

take. but don't do it again. One of
