Staff Sergeant j. j.. Wilson, OF the
North West Mounted Police. who is
in the city to take Roy Spenser, alias
Williamson, back to Calgary, Can.
ada, as soon as extradition papers
are secured, says there lie more horse
stealing going on over the boundary
between Canada and the United States
at the present time than at any time
previously. More men and more ex.
perts are engaged in the practice than
ever before. The operations extend
from British Columbia to Manitoba
but the practice is more prevalent on
the Montana boundary line than on
any other.
Sergeant Wilson stated that expert
thieves from all over the United States
have been attr acted to the boundary
and ply their trade with ardor. 1t is
more difficult to catch the thieves than
formerly on account OF the many new
settlers that have come TO the north
west provinces of Canada. BY far the
greater part Of these settlers have
come from the eastern part Of the
United States and Canada and are en-.
tirely unfamiliar with brands and the
conditions governing the stock indus.
try in the west. As q consequence
large herds of horses can be run in
and none of the settlers can describe
the brands, or in fact pay much atten'
ton to them, as herds are passing
every day. A few years ago wher
ranches were miles q part and every
rancher was q practical stockman, il
was an easy matter to trace horses
and ascertain their brands.
To do away with existing condition.
a new system has been adopted il
Canada whereby it is hoped hors'
stealing will be done away with. I'm
der the new ruling every herd Q
horses brought in from the United
States is inspected by a stock in
spectOr and the brand of every hors'
taken, where they are to be shippe,
and TO whom. In this way the ami
mails can be kept track of and whel
stolen animals are reported, thei
Whereabouts a be ascertained. Mr.

Affecting Desert Entries.

Although the act recently approved
by President Roosevelt provides that
desert en,rymen shall subscribe their
lands to the project, it also contains
a clause by which entrymen, owning
private water rights sufficient 70 irri.
gate the land, need not subscribe TO
the reclamation ~proiec. but may utilize
the waters appropriated by them for
tina purpose.
This is shown 10 a statement given
TO ,he newspaper. by Cyrus G. Babb,
district engineer in charge of the Milk
river irrigation project. Ia his letter
Mr.. Babb says:
On June -, 1896. the president ap.
proved a bill entitled, IAN act provid-
iIg for the subdivision Of lands en-.
tered under the recla am alton act and
for other purposes"
Section j deals with desert land en-.
terie> and will probably be of interest
to YOUR readers.
"Section 8 provides that desert land
entrymen whose lands may be included
in a reclamation project and who may
be directly or indirectly hindered or
prevented from making improvement,
and retaining the lands under the
desert land act, shall be allowed an
extension OF time equal 20 the loss on
account of hindrance. 1t also pro.
vides that desert land entrymen within
reclaim alton projects which are under.
taken shall r%elinquish all lands EN-.
braced within the entry 10 excess oi
| 100 acre. and as to such 100 acres they
may make final proof and obtain pat.
ent upon compliance with the terms oil
the reclamation act. The section,
however. does not require a leser,

COOPERATIVE BUILDING.
Plan to Reduce the Cost to Individual
Owners

One of the most unique building projects
launched in Cleveland recently is now be-
ing pushed to completion. Work has been
started on ten semi-detached houses on the
new street connecting Euclid avenue and
Carnegie avenue, opposite East 65th street
dorchester avenue) The cost of the whole
project will be divided into ten equal shares.
which will be apportioned among ten in
dividuals, to each of whom will be deliv-
cred, when the building is completed, title
to a house and lot, it then becoming abso-
lutely the property of the holder, who will
also have property right in the full thicA-
ness of the partition walls on both sides.
Each house will be three stories in height
and will have frontage. of about twenty
feet. BY ten persons thus uniting a great
saving will be effected in the cost of con-
.strucrion. and. each will own a house and
lot at much less cost than If erected singly
It Is the intention to make the building
rank second to none in its class. each sepa-
rate house to be firSt-clasS and built as well
Before the building is started each men,
Der to this agreement shall select or be al
lotted q house to be his when the buiiaing
is completed, therefore any member may
arrange with the architects to make
changes on the plan or in the finish or the
selection of colors during the progress of
the work, and If any additional cost is in
volved it snail be paid to the contractor by
the party so ordering Each house will
have its own front and rear entrance and
a vestibule. hall. living room, dining room,
pantry, etc., on the ground floor. Four bed
three bedrooms on the third floor In the
basement there will be servants bath room,
laundry and cellar, also boiler for hot
water heating system.

Perforated Sails.

From the Leeds Mercury.
Although the assertion recently made by
an Italian sea captain that the power OF
sails was increased by their being per-
forated was ridiculed. 1t has just been
proved that he was right.
His theory was that the force Of the
wind can not fairly take effect on an In
fiated sail because of the cushion OF Inn
movable air that fills up. the hollow. To
prevent the creation and presence OF that
cushion ne pierced his sails with many
holes. through which the wind blew, the
balance of air pressure striking against
the canvas and exercising it, full effect.
Several experiments have been made on
these lines, and the results are declared
to have been eminently satisfactory.
