sneezlne Lese Majesty, rooq

Berlin.-The citizen who recently
was punished for the crime of sneez.
ing in the street has a companion in
misfortune. The new victim is a
lawyer named Schmidt, who, as a
military reservist under periodical in
spection with his regiment at Magde-
burg, committed the offense of blow
ing his nose while standing in line
before the reviewing officer. The
following day Schmidt was arraigned
before court-martial. He pleaded
he suffered from catarrh. The in.
specting officer, however, swore
Schmidt blew his nose in a manner
betraying either scorn or disrespect
of military command and the court
was so shocked it ordered the Of
fender to be placed under arrest for
ten days.

LESS WINE DRUNK IN ENGLAND

Washington.-Tha alcoholic con-
sumption is on the decrease in Great
Britain is shown by statistics con-
tanned in the report from Frank w.
Main, the American consul at Not
tingham, evidencing remarkable
falling off in the wine appetite of the
Britishers.
The amount of wine consumed per
capita in Great Britain is now figured
at only three pints a year. The chan
cellor of the exchequer, in his recent
budget speech, said that in the past
six years the consumption of wine had
increased nearly so per cent. Imports
of wine from the principal sources of
supply-France, Spain and Portugal
have decreased in 30 years from 16,-
100000 gallons to 100000 In year.

itself to take up the matter. 1t is es-
timated that these 13 schemes will re-
claim about 100000 acres.
AS there is a considerable cost at
tached to the taking up of land under
these projects, cost varying from
$3.50 to So per acre yearly for ten
years. it will be readily seen that nei-
Their the very poor nor the very shift
less will be attracted by these posi-
bilities.
The immediate effect of irrigation
upon the land values is shown as well
in the Belle Fourche valley as any
place in the world. On the south side
of the river for short distance a
number of farms are under irrigation
from a private ditch known as the
Redwater ditch. This land now sells
for SIS an acre. Just across the river
where there is as yet no irrigation,
land of identically the same character
sells from So to $12. Peope are rush
ing into the country by the hundreds
to embrace the opportunity of taking
up and along the line of the projected
ditch and the next ten years will see
wonderful change in this northern
country.

Ninety Thousand Acres of Arid Land
in Belle Fourche Valley Will Be
Made to Bear When Work Is
Completed.

Belle Fourche, S. D.-As the work
Of the government irrigation scheme
north of this city progresses people
begin to realize the great difference
1t will make not only in the character
of the country but also in the charac-
ter of settlers who will be attracted
by these lands.
This Belle Fourche irrigation prof.
ect as it is officially known, will re-
claim 10000 acres of practically arid
land lying north of the Black hills,
and $2,100,000 has been appropriated
by congress for the work. The work
is under direct supervision of the gov
eminent, but eventually will become
the property of the Water Users asso-
citation, which will be composed of all
the people holding land under the
project.
The most interesting feature Of the
work being done here is the big dam
known as the Owl creek reservoir.
The water taken from the Belle
Fourche by the diverting dam Is
brought through a canal 66 miles
long to this reservoir.
1t is built in natural basin and the
earthen dam, IL miles in length and
lis feet high at the deepest point, Is
considering both length and height,
the largest earthen dam in the United
States.
The embankment will contain
100000 cubic yards of earth and will
be 500 feet wide at the widest point
at the bottom. GO feet wide at the
water service and 20 feet wide at the
top. The entire embankment will be
faced with concrete blocks weighing
5000 pounds each and the outer sur
face will be arranged in terraces and
seeded down to grass. The greatest
depth of the water will be 100 feet and

Hurrah for All of Themi

While partisanship does not enter
into the spirit Of Independence Day
celebrations, yet Republicans are ex-
cusable for priding themselves upon
belonging to the grand old party that
made the Fourth of July a real In
dependence Day in the United
States. Before the civil war our form
of government was yet an expert
mcnt. After the party of Lincoln re-
stored and cemented the Union, we
made good" and Republican form
of government was fastened upon
this nation for all time. And the
beauty of it is that our Democratic
friends, the most of whom then op-
posed us, now admit they are glad
we did it, and the fact that we really
differed upon the subject is fast be-
ing forgotten. Here's to the Flag

others who love and defend it.
