Chicago, April 24.-For the purpose
OF obtaining and furnishing the sup
plies necessary in the work of re.
claiming the arid regions of the west.
the United States reclamation service
yesterday opened a new purchasing
and transportation Office in Chicago.
Heretofore all of this business was
left in the hands of the various en-
gineers in charge of the work, who
purchased their supplies from the
nearest dealers. 1t was found, how
ever, that the prices in the west were
SO excessive. that the government
would save money by buying direct
from the wholesalers at Chicago and
shipping goods to the various points
where reclamation work is in progress.
At present work is being carried on
in twenty-nine different projects. An
expenditure of $46,OOO,0OO will be
made, and when completed, more than
100000 acres of arid land will have
been reclaimed.
The work is being carried on in the
arid regions of thirteen western states
and territories, from the western part
OF Kansas to the Pacific coast, and in
Oklahoma, Nevada, and North and
South Dakota,

put in a stick of dynamite. The charge
failed to explode and after waiting a
reasonable length of time, George
went down into the hole, being lowered
by the use of rope in the hands of
his brother. He had no sooner reached
the bottom that he called to be pulled
up. Unfortunately he had not fastened
the rope around his body, depending
upon his strength to raise and lower
himself. He clung on however, until
within few feet of the top, when his
strength gave out and he fell to the
bottom He was still conscious and
called for help In his anxiety to save
his brother, Michael then lowered him.

Around the mansion he laid out great
private park, since cut up into city

Hamilton, N. D., April 24.-Almost
the entire central portion of Pembina
county is flooded. The big coulie, run

overfiown, and thousands of acres of
land are covered with water.
Among others, the farm of H. Fem

The water reached the city this
morning, flowing over the railroad
track. For time, there was wide
stream of water between the city and
the depot, and RATS were necessary to
reach the station.
The water is coming in from the
Pembina mountains, but it is believed
that the cool weather prevailing at
present will result in stopping the
raise.
1t is not believed that the food will
have any other effect than to delay
seeding.
The Great Northern track, south of
the city, was flooded this morning, the
water passing over the rails. The
