from the sale Of public lands within

OF their lands, SO far as practicable.
1t is recognized fact that the con-
tributionS to the fund from the yari-
GUS States are in most cases not in pro-
portion to the need Of those States for
irrigation. Arizona and Nevada, for
instance, whose lands have contrib
uted very little to the fund, have
probably the greatest need and oppor-
tunity for reclamation, while on the
other hand. North Dakota and Oklaho-
ma, though large contributors, have
perhaps the least actual need for irri-
cation OF any of the Western States.
In some cases the chief aim of politi-

The Largest in the World.


Such specifications meant that upon
completion of the Dewey" the Govern
ment would possess the largest float
ing dry dock in the world. The
contractors went further than the Gov
ernment specifications and gave the
new dock capacity of 10000 tons.
The question night be asked, what
sort of monster is this which floats and
| yet can bodily lift the huge fighting
terrors of the sea? 1t is nothing more
| than large steel floating box, with a
bottom and two long sides but with
the top and ends missing, the bottom
resting upon great square tanks, 1S1a
feet deep. With an opening of certain
valves, enough water is allowed to
rush into sink the great trough until
the floor is sufficiently below water
level for the largest warship to enter
between the two protruding sides. Al
ter the vessel Is within the enclosure,
the water is pumped out Of the tanks
and the great trough rises until the
floor is well above the wash Of the sea.
Any surplus water remaining on the
floor of the tank drains off and the ship
on becoming dry may be painted,
cleaned or repaired. The giant leviathan
of war is handled as though it were a
toy. The Dewey" has total length
of about 500 feet, and a height of GA
feet from the bottom, yet In order to
dock a vessel demanding a depth of 30
feet in the trough, the bottom of the
tank sinks TO a depth of 63 feet. Float,
ing by itself. it draws but 6ls feet OF
water.
The United States Government was
very strict in all requirements of its
contract with the constructing COM
pany and insisted that the dock should
be carefully tested before being ac-
cepted.

Her Private Business.

An Ohio notary public, who evident
ly thought his job was about the size
of that of a grand duke, has been try
ing to find out the age Of a lady he
was examining, with, as you might
guess, but Indifferent success.
When the girl appealed the case up
to a real judge, the latter told her to
hold on to that secret as long as she
wanted to and to tell the notary to
soak his head. Those are not. of
course, his exact words; but, translat-
ing the legal language freely, that is
what they mean.
The judge is right. Any one can
get himself appointed a notary public
if he just has enough industry to write
the names of q few of his neighbors
on a petition, and we would have all
kinds of superficial men chasing that
job if by holding it they could open an
Office and make any girl that wan
dered by tell her age.

UNCLE SAM VS.. THE vANDALIA
Dispute over a Road That Is on the
Right-of- Way of the
Railroad

Brazil. Ind, Aug. 80 = Uncle Sam
and the Vandalia Railroad company
differ in regard to a road on the out
skirts of this city. The road in ques-
ton forms a part of rural route No.
8. and Is included in the official plat
of the route as fled with the postof-
fee department at Washington. The
other day as the carrier started over
his route he found two wires strung
across the road. He thought the wires
had been strung by a mischievous boy,
and therefore he cut them.
Later when thecarrier started on his
rounds he found twelve wires strung
across the road. Investigation showed
that it was a fence erected by the Van
dalia railroad. The road skirts the
right-of-way, and proceeded to fence
it up. Postmaster Gregg has notified
the railroad company that this road IS
a part Of rural route No. 9, and must
not be fenced. The carrier cut the
twelve wires.

The Result.

You get a girl-a peach, a dream
One that can turn at once your head?
Oh, no: that kind is not my theme:
You get a girl to bake the bread
To bake the bread and scrub the floor,
To iron, wash and dust, perhaps,
To drive dull care from out your door
And give your wife her morning maps.
Then comes the girl with queenly air,
And takes the morning maps herself,
And sharpens up the edge of care,
And gathers IN your hard earned pelf.
You get a girl-say once a week;
With every girl you get new hopes.
But you submissive are and meek
When every week the new girl slopes.
