EXTENSION Of WORK
Of RECLAMATION

forcement of the eight-hour law has
also contributed to the general in
crease in costs to the contractor. A
number of prominent contractors are
failing or on the verge of bankruptcy,
and prices of construction are running
up rapidly. When the contractors be-
come unable to fulfill their contracts
the reclamation service is obliged to
carry on the work by paying higher
prices than the contractors can at
ford to. give. But even under such
circumstances the labor supply is un-
equal to the demand.
Several of the % projects now under
way, as we'll as numerous others
which will be taken up Immediately
funds become available, will receive
a serious setback If the reclamation
fund is diverted for other purposes.
Citizens of the west are even now i'm
patient that the department is forced
to delay in taking up the projects that
would make productive millions of
acres of arid land and afford homes
for multitude of settlers.
improvements in other states are
needed there is not doubt, but this ma
ton is able to make them without en-
dangering the beneficient work of

Americans let it be said, "They found
the west desert; they left it Gar

reserved for out of town visitors. Lat
er compromise was arrived at. and

(By E. c. Snyder,

Washington. d. c.. Aug. "A few
weeks ago announcement was made
of the receipts from the sale of pub
lie lands in the arid states and terri
tories. When it was discovered that
the increment to the reclamation fund
was considerably in excess of the es-
Inmates there was much rejoicing
throughout the entire west.
Letters have been pouring into the
office of the reclamation service from
settlers, legislators and others inter-
ested in the movement, requesting the
allotment of funds and initiation of ir-
rigation works in various localities.
1t is not within the province of the
director to apportion reclamation
funds. but merely to call the atten-
ton of the secretary of the interior
to feasible projects. The engineers

been investigated and will be taken
under consideration as soon as funds
for their construction become avail
able. The secretary of the interior
has already apportioned the fund for
years In advance. and although the re-

Washington. D. c.. Aug. 2S.-When
the president and his family went to
Oyster Bay a pet parrot, of which Mr..
Roosevelt is fond, was turned over to
dealer in birds to be cared for.
There is an interesting little story
in connection with the bird and the
marriage of Miss Alice. Several years
ago, when Alice was a wee slip of u
girl, the parrot was Introduced into

With the marriage of Miss Roose-

parrot seemed to grow !..i! and to lose

changed to dull croak. and the ia

AN OSLO MAN.
Polk County Authorities Arrest Al
Alleged kleptOmaniac.

Alleged kleptomaniac.
County attorney w. J. Brown and
Sheriff w. Fossberg of Warren, were
at Oslo the other day to conduct the
preliminary examination of a young
man named Albin Kamrowskf who was
accused of stealing $500 worth of
building material from the Red Lake
Lumber Co. The hearing was held be-
fore Justice Hidden and the. accused
was bound over to the grand jury. 1t
is possible he will ask to be taken
before the court to plead guilty to
grand larceny in the second degree,
as may be done under the new law
and in that case he will receive his
sentence at once.
The young man who is carpenter
by trade appears to have a mania for
appropriating things to his own use,
says the Crookston Times, without
giving value received therefore. The
people of Oslo have been missing arti-
cles from their premises and places
of business for some time and finally
suspicion pointed strongly to Kom-
rowskf as the guilty party. A search
of his shack revealed a dray load of
articles of all descriptions taken from
residents of Oslo. The prisoner said
he knew 1t was wrong to steal, but
that some mysterious power compelled
him to do SO. He seems glad that he
was caught and after having served
his sentence says he will live an up
right life. The kind of training re-
ceived at home, he says is the cause of
his trouble.

Literary BarInaids.

Not long ago, in the course of an
inquest on a young lady who was run
over and killed in one of our leading
colonial cities, 1t came out in evidence
that she was barmaid and also a
contributor of stories and sketches to
London and Australian magazines.
There is general impression that the
life of the average barmaid is too
onerous and distracting to leave any
leisure for intellectual pursuits. The

Just u Banty Hen.


A poultry raiser gets off the follow

little banty hen through the spring.
Under my shed l had cider barrel
filled with oats. Well this banty was
bound to lay in this barrel, and every
time she wanted to lay she ate enough
grain to make room for the egg.
Finally she laid the barrel full of eggs
and had eaten every bit of the grain
out of the barrel. and SO she began
to set. l wanted to break her up so
I headed up the barrel. That didn't

was. 4 came from that train that has
just passed" Then my son-in-law
came in with a great bunch of pink
Nelumbium in his hand ''Oh. Ed
ward,' l said, ''where did you get
them?' With their rare beauty they
seemed to illuminate the room. 1 had
never seen a Nelumbium before: but.
by some instinct or other. / recognized
them as such, instantly. He told me
that coming they had to stop in a
town and wait two or three hours for
train, and that to put over the time.
he hired buggy and drove a few
miles into the country. That in pas
sing gentleman'S estate he saw
pond full of pink lilies and that when
he saw them he thought how pleased
L would be to see one of them that he
asked permission of the owner to get
one. He was told to take all he want
ed i'm welcome. So he hired a boy to
go into the pond and get few. Well.
he brought me three fully expanded
flowers, and nearly two dozen buds
in different states of development. II
was delighted beyond measure to have
these wonderful flowers. The flowers
were placed in vases of water. and for
almost two weeks | had the pleasure
of seeing those flowers expand l had
always been of the opinion that Ne

these Alpine heights. where we first
discovered it, in August, the bushes
were loaded with myriads of golden
yellow blossoms, exactly resembling
the poppy blossom. These blossoms
were from two to three inches in
diameter, deliciously fragrant, and
were intensely snowy and brilliant in
cOlOring.
In the almost inaccessible wildS.
where we first discovered these plants.
they were growing within one hundred
yards of an immense glacier of ice and
snow; tall cliffs of granite lOOmed up
majestically on all sides: some of these
cliffs of granite being fully 1000 feet
sures of the rocks were lined with
these golden blOSSOmed shrubs.
AS this plant was new and not
named. we called it Dendromecon Wat
kinSOnii, Watkin's tree poppy of Neva-
da). We found that by moving it to
other localities, and giving good cult
ure, the shrub would bloom continu-
ously all season long, and also produce
new and APPARENTLY valuable types by
bud variation or sporting.
This new shrub is propagated by
seeds and by layering. Its value to
our list of hardy Ornamentals is at
once apparent, as no evergreen shrub
with golden pOppy-like blossoms, pro-
duced in such luXuriant abundance, is
now among our long list of hardy
shrubs. 1t can be trained into a tree
