COMMITS SUICIDE TO
ADVERTISE HIS BOOK
Irish Author leaves Strange
Explanation for Ending
His Life.

WELLINGTON. New Zealand, Dec. Is.
Charles Pollard, an Irish author and
native OF Belfast. wrote the following
explanation. it has now been nscertained.
just before he committed suicide on the
summit of Bangitoto volcano, towering
Island peak. overlooking Waitemata har-
Dor. Auckland. in order TO advertise
book which he had written;
''On the top OF Rangitoto will be
found my dead body Please deal with
1t as your laws direct. Charles Leltch,
alias Charles Pollard"
Two police constables, upon receiving
the note, set out at once for the island
and proceeded TO the top OF the volcano.
There they found a rude wooden cross
five feet six inches high had been erected
on which were carved the words: ''E' en-
tho ii be cross quotation from rom
10 Thee"
Cross Dyed With Blood.
The cross was dyed With blood and at
the foot lay the dead body of Pollard.
a length OF rope tied In the form of
shackle hung from the cross and II was
evident that Pollard had first tried to
lie himself to the cross. and falling in
this had cut his throat with a razor.
On the ground near Pollard's body
was found screwdriver which ne had
used TO fasten the cross together and
also TO carve upon the cross the words
of the hymn.
Pinned TO Pollard's wa!stcoat the po-
lice found a letter explaining his OBJ
ject in committing suicide.
For a considerable time past, he
wrote. II have devoted my energies 10
the production of a work which deals
with vital issues affecting human well
fare, Each of these three sections OF
this quasi scientific work treats sepa-
rately OF the different aspects OF the hu-
man personality, corporal and psychic
and OF the nature OF the relation between
these.
"If then you ask, Why adopt this very
singular course 10. proclaim those TRUTHS?
my reply is because that portion of the
work I offered FOR publication both In
Europe and America was rejected by
the publishers SO that II is only by this
extraordinary means that can hope 10
succeed in getting II published eventu-
ally"
Pollard had been in New Zealand three
years and had been receiving remittances
regularly from his home in Ireland.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 22.-The
death of o. A. Peck, a millionaire
mine owner, in this city recalls the
fact that a donkey was declared by
Judge Norman Buck, of the supreme
court of Idaho, to have shared in the
discovery Of the s15,0O0,00O Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mine, and thereby Sc
cured for its owner a one-third inter
terest in this famous property.
From the evidence of witnesses, :
the courts opinion reads, this court
is of the opinion that the Bunker
Hill mine was discovered by Peck's
jackass. Phil O'Rourke and N. s.
Kellogg. AS plaintiffs own the jack
ass he is entitled to one third inter-

REcLAiMING THE LAND.
National Irrigation Congress Invited
to jamestown Exposition and Ad-
,vocates of Swamp Land Rec
lamation - Chance for
Browards

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Norfolk, Va, August 21.-It is prob
able that the session of the National
Irrigation Congress for 1915 will be
held at the jamestown Exposition.
Should the invitation which the ex-
position officials have extended be
accepted, for the first time this i'm
portant and highly interesting body
will meet in the east. The congress
meets this year at Boise, the capital
of the state of Idaho, October 10 to
Is. President Harry st. George Tuck
er, Of the jamestown Exposition, will
go to Boise to urge the acceptance of
the invitation. 1t is understood that
many of the expert irrigationists de-
sire to have the next celebration at
the jamestown celebration.
In the event of the acceptance, the
vitality important problem of irriga-
ton, so well known to the west, will
be presented to the people of the
east and south in manner calcu-
lated to arouse general interest Out
of irrigation empires grow. Irrigation
created the ancient civilizations of
Egypt, along the Nile. Irrigation is
making room and realm for millions
of Americans in the semi-arid re-
gions of the west and south west. The
present vast irrigation movement is
but a few years old, having been
made possible and practicaDle by
the reclamation act passed by con-
gress, which provides that the money
received from the sale of public lands
shall be used in reclaming, through
irrigation, the great areas heretofore
considered worthless for farming.
Already there is a fund approx
mately $33,0O0,O0O for this purpose,
and the government is working on a
score of immense projects. Millions
of acres will be made fertile within
few years by the introduction Of
water where there is practically no
rainfall. This work will add to the
wealth of the nation untold sums an
nually.
Since the passage of the land rec
lamation act, the citizens of some Of
the southern and middle western
states have started a movement for
the reclamation of swamp lands, and
they believe that portion of the pub
lie money should be used for this
purpose. Too much water is just as
bad as none at all, and by the digging
of drainage canals and feeders it is
feasible to run off the surplus water
and turn the swamps into splendid
farms. 1t has been done on con-
siderable scale already in southwest
Missouri and in other sections. 1t is
probable that the swamp land recla-
nation advocates will have their say
at the jamestown Exposition when
the National Irrigation Congress con-
venes. In this event the congress will
have the most interesting session ev-
er held.
Governor George G. Pardee, of Cal
ifornia, practical irrigation man, is
president of the National Irrigation
CingreSs.
