RESULT OF IRRIGATION.
Is q Model District and
Highly DevelOped.

One of the most fruitful results to
be gained from irrigation is found in
the HovAr-Kennewick valley, and
the people in that section of the coun-
try are pointing with pride to the
results of their labor, says the Walla
Walla Bulletin.
At present there are about 5000
acres of land receiving water from
the canal tributary to Hover, and
with the new high ditch that the gov
ernment intends to build in the near
future, the area to be placed under
cultivation will be doubled.
The people of Hover are showing
a great spirit in their efforts to obtain
additional facilities to better the land
and If enthusiasm and energy count
for anything, the little city will soor
occupy one Of the prominent posi-
tions in the northwest.

CAMELS OUTCOME.
Creatures That Go For Extended re-
riods without Drinking.

Other creatures than the camel are
able to get along for extended periods
without drinking. Sheep In the south
western deserts go for forty to sixty
days in winter without drink, grazing
on the green, succulent vegetation OF
that season. Peccaries in the desert Of
hbnora live in little dry hills where
there is no natural water for long peri
DDS. They cannot possibly find water
In fact, for months at time. The only
moisture they can obtain comes from
roots and the fruits Of cact, but the
most extraordinary case Is that Of the
pocket mouse, one Of the common TO
dents of the desert This little creature,
by the way, has genuine fur lined
pocket" on the outside OF Its cheek.
When II is hungry IL takes food from
this pocket with its paw, just as a man
would pull ham sandwich from his
pocket. One of these mice has been
kept for three years with no other food
than the mixed bird seed of commerce.
During this period it had not taste OF
either water or green food. Other ex-
perimenters have found, In fact, that
these mice in captivity refuse such
treats, not seeming to know that water
is good to drink. The bird seed put be-
fore this mouse contained not more
than 10 per cent Of moisture, which is
less than is necessary for digestion.
Stuff so dry as this cannot even be
swallowed until it is moistened by
saliva. Yet this remarkable mouse
gave nothing but his time to the inter
ests of science. He suffered nothing in
health or spirits during his captivity

The Cellars of Bordeaux.

The cobwebs will seem to an impress

the Bordeaux cellars. Some Of them
look like thick pile curtains, somber in
hue, Of course, but famously suggestive
Of warmth. And with even only a
moderate imagination one may go to

pendent shapes overhead are dusky
stalactites instead of the airy next to
nothing as they really are. If you hold

shrivel a few yards of the fabric. But

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch has ar
ranged to give the students of the re-
Gently organized class in journalism at
the Missouri State university of Co.
lumbia, Mo-, practical experience in
the making of newspaper, TO supple
ment the theoretic instruction receiv-
ed at the university.
When the course in journalism was
first established at this college the
Post-Dispatch offered to illustrate to
the students all the processes of news
paper making. The offer was accept
ed by the faculty, and nine young men
were selected for the work. These
young men will be the guests of the
Post-Dispatch for four days, which
they will devote to a thorough exam
ination of the processes of gathering
of news, preparing it for publication
and publishing the newspaper. They
will first be assigned to the local de-
partment, and will begin with practi-
cal reportorial work, the reading OF
copy the writing of headlines, and
the general preparation of the copy
for the printers. They will be taken
through all Experimentation
Sunday, art and editorial-to learn
the manner in which each department
is conducted. They will then be given
an opportunity to learn all about the
mechanical departments and the
preparation of material for publica-
iton.
After their practical experience in
each department they prepared a
miniature newspaper, which was pub
lished in the Sunday Post-Dispatch of
Sunday February IS.
Upon their return to the university
each of the nine young men will write
out his experiences and observations
of the processes of newspaper max
ing and the Post-Dispatch has offered
a prize for the best report, which viii
be published in a subsequent edition
of the Sunday Post-Dispatch.
The object of this plan is to give tbs
students of journalism full informa'
ton of the methods of making g
metropolitan daily newspaper and II
| addition, actual practice in newspaper
work. The writing of the reports o.
| their experience and observation vii
serve to inform their fellow students
and to test the powers of observation
