LACK OF DRAINAGE GREAT
DANGER TO IRRIGATED LANDS

Says a Washington dispatch of
recent date: For the guidance of
the great number of people from hu-
mid regions who settle on the inn
mense areas of western lands
opened to settlement, the depart
ment of agriculture has issued
report on practical Information for
Beginners in Irrigati
There are several million acres
open for settlement in the United
States and irrigation works are be-
ing built by private enterprises and
by the national government to
provide a water supply for more
than a million acres of arid lands.
The report says these are certain
to cause an influx of settlers into
western America during the next
few years. The report discusses
arid soils an water supplies gener-
ally and how to locate and build
farm bitches, prepare land to receive
water, irrigate staple crops and how
much water to apply.
Experience throughout the arid
REGION the report says, sis dem
onstrating that the greatest danger
to irrigated lands is lack of drain
age. Water applied to crops raise:
the ground water, which bring
with it the salts dissolved from the
soil; capillarity brings this water
to the surface where it evaporates
the salts to accumulate until al
vegetation is destroyed. The onl,
insurance against this is propei
drainage, but anything as econom.
in the use of water and through
cultivation which will check tn
raise of ground water or lesser
evaporation will decrease the dan

Barnum Il Bailey Coming.

Preliminary arrangements have been
perfected for the coming OF Barnum &
Bailey circus to Lewiston, July IS;
Waterville, July Il; Bangor, July Is
This great amusement institution is 49,
cognized as the leader In all things per-
tanning to arenic entertainment, and its
advent has a significance that rarely at
taches to any other show. 1t is coming
this year, it is announced, under condi-
tons that should, more than ever, as
sure it a cordial welcome from the pub
lie 1t opens the SESSION, as usual, at
Madison Square Garden, New York i,
where. week and week, crowds of en-
thusastic circus lovers crowded the i'm
mense amphitheatre, applauded the
arenic acts, revealed in the sensations
that accompany the performance of the
latest things in circus thrillers, and, to
quote from one of the New York pa
pers, left the Garden convinced that
they they had seen the greatest per
Torrance of its kind ever presented in
the United States.o
The Barnum d Bailey management
announced that this seasons arenic dis
play is not only superior to anything
hitherto offered even by this great show,
but also that the number of new and
sensational features and the magnitude
of the exhibition are such as to make it
probable that the present season will
mark the absolute limit to which circus
endeavor may leach.
This years new spectacle is entitled
peace" and the costumes and ac
coutrements for the display weigh
nearly hundred tons; the poles for the
big tents represent the production of
several acres of woodland; the ropes
cordage and canvas used in the city of
tents require sixty horses to draw them :
the wood used in the seats necessary to
accommodate the $4,000 spectators that
can be comfortably seated under the
immense hippodrome pavilion would
furnish big stock for more than
ordinarily extensive lumber yard.

Wants More Compensation

Arson NJ Goddard, the junior counsel
for the defence in the recent long-
drawn-out Cooper murder trial, says
that the amount which he was awarded
by Judge Peabody of Portland for his
services was inadequate.
He and Herbert NJ. Heath, the senior
counsel, were given 1915 to divide be-
tween them, each receiving $497.75.
The court was in session six weeks and
they were in the court room 81 days,
besides the large amount which they de-
voted to the preparation of the case.
The county physician, who appeared
simply as a witness, received more than
Mr.. Goddard.
The law in regard to the assignment
of counsel read as follows: "Compe
tent counsel shall be assigned by the
court in cases punishable by imprison
ment for life, when it believes that the
accused has not sufficient means to em.
ploy counsel; and reasonable compen.
sation for the services of counsel shall
be allowed by the court, to be paid out
of the county treasury
Mr.. Goddard declared today that be
should apply to the next Legislature and
ask for the passage of resolve increas-
ing his compensation to what he con-
sidered reasonable sum as the law
provided. The presentation of his case
to the legislature would involve, he
thought, the alleged discrepancy be-
tween the compensation of the attor-
neys aud that of certain witnesses.

The shad fishermen on the Kennebec
this year have source of revenue that
is wholly new 10 them. The u : fish
commission Gamer Fishhawk is at
anchor in the Iivrr to gather shad
spawn and this gives ready market
for all the shad spawn the fslermen
get. Men from the steamer follow the
fishermen about and when the nets are
pulled the spawn is taken aboard the
steamer, aud aflerward deposited in
the river. BY this method it is prob
able that the shad IN the river will
multiply to a noticeable extent within a
few years. Lately there has been a big
