HONOR HIS MEMORY.
Fitting Tribute Paid to First Sailor
Who Fell In Spanish War.

Raleigh, N. c., May 20.-Following
the grandest military pageant that
has ever marched on the streets of
Raleigh. and in which several thou
sand troope and members of civic
organizations, led by the famous Ma
rine band. of Washington, filed past
high officials and many thousands of
spectators, the handsome monument
in memory of Ensign Worth Bagley
was unveiled in Capitol park today.
Ensign Bagley was son of North
Carolina. He lost his life aboard the
torpedo boat Winslow at Cardenas and
was the first American sailor killed
in the war with Spain.
The unveiling ceremonies were i'm
pressive. The procession started
promptly at noon and marched to
Capitol park. where the monument
stands a short distance from the
handsome monument to the memory
of the Confederate soldiers. Occupy
ing places of honor on the speakers
stand were Governor Glenn and other
state officials, the brother and other
relatives of Ensign Bagley and sew
eral of the officers of the navy who
served with him on the Winslow. The
exercises began with an invocation
by the Rev. DR.. John S. Watkins, of
Spartanburg, who was Worth Bag
ley's pastor. The Grafton of the day
was delivered by Congressman Rich
mond Pearson Hobson. of Alabama,
who was a friend and fellow-officer of
Ensign Bagley, and also native son
of North Carolina
The monument is the work of F.
H. Packer, of New York, and was paid
for by public subscription of the cit
liens of Raleigh. The statue is of
bronze, seven feet in heighth and rep
resents Ensign Bagley standing with
right hand shading his eyes and in
tently looking at the Spanish vessels
and batteries. his left hand being in
his sword hilt. The statue stands
on a handsome granite base, suitably
inscribed.

To avoid the necessity Of going out

They try every way to avoid having

Williston, N. D., May 2O.-Ralph w.

shot at a shooting gallery on South
Main street at half past three O'Clock,
the ball entering the right lung and
penetrating It. He walked from where
he was shot into McKay's pharmacy
and fell saying, my God, I'm shot" !"
He was placed upon a cot. A hurried
call was sent for DR.. Hagen, who was
able to respond at once. and If the
young mans life is saved much of it
may be due to this piece of good luck.
The one who fired the shot Is un-
known to the police or to the news
paper men Of the city. The men who
run the gallery, Era Bond and L. ].
Boyd, say that boys were standing
near the guns when one of them was
mysteriously discharged. Chief of
Police Smith, who was present, says
that no one had touched a gun and
that the discharge was without any
human agency that he could tell.
Mr.. Heustis was arranging some
electric lamps for the shooting gall
lery people and was standing back of
the targets most of the time. The
wound is very small one over the
right lung. There was internal bleed
ing, but when taken to the hospital
of DR.. Hagen he seemed to be breath

cry are rising.
Chief of Police Smith says that he
did not notice any children near the
guns. He was present when the in

Immediately made before Judge Seeds
of Cripple Creek. The effect OF this
action was we'll described by Ray
Stannard Baker. associate editor OF
McClure's magazine. in an article for
his publication:
Judge Seeds ordered that the pris-
oners be brought into his court and
that an early inquire be made as to
whether any innocent man was de-
prived of his liberty. General Bell,
the 'Weyler of Colorado obeyed the
order in his own significant way. He
surrounded the courthouse with
armed men; he planted sharpshooters
on the roofs of the buildings round
about; he set a Gatling gun in the
street outside. and then he marched
into court with an awe-inspiring
force of troopers. which he planted
sQuarely in front of the judges bench.
When the Judge approached his own
court he was halted with a bayOnet
to his breast. and kept waiting the
pleasure of an officer from Denver.
After the bailiff raped for order. Eu-
gene Engley, former attorney of the
state of Colorado, one of the attor-
neys for the prisoners. declared that
no real justice could be administered
in court intimidated by armed men,
and left the room. The Judge finally
decided that the prisoners. whatever
their offense, must not be deprived of
their liberty without charges, and Or
dered that they be surrendered to the
civil courts. The general deliberately
violated the courts order and marched
the prisoners back to the bullpen,
with the sharpshooters and the Cat
ling gun"

IRRIGATION WORK
HAS SHOWN BENEFITS

Associated Press to The Evening Tlnes.
Washington, D. c., May 2O.-Would
1t be a good business investment for
the United States to add to It's home
territory an area of rich agricultural
lands as large as the state of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois combined? The
swamp lands in continental United
States east of the Rocky Mountains
susceptible to reclamation by drain
age have total area just about that
of the three great middle states nam
ed. Arid lands are being reclaimed
and opened up for settlement by irri-
cation, by supplying water to nourish
the living crops day after day. AS
yet the federal goveT nent has not
undertaken to reclaim the lands which
suffer because of superabundance OF
water.
According to government surveys
and estimates there are at least fifty
million acres of land which can be
drained and made fit for farming at
a cost Of about IS an acre. This would
increase the value of the drainage dis
tricts more than $5,000,000,000, and
would add to the crop values of this
great nation many millions annually.
1t is impossible to treat of the sub
ject of the drainage of the wet and
overfiowed lands Of the United States
except to discuss 1t in millions and
billions of dollars.
The federal government has spent
about $35,000,000 in irrigation work,
and the people have given unanimous
approval to the project. The argu.
ment is advanced that the federal gov
ernment may we'll consider drainages
as coordinate branch of the re-
demption of lands now unfit for
homes. The department of interior,
through the geological survey, has
made a Typographical survey of the
swamp lands in an Indian reservation
in Minnesota. The engineers have
shown how vast area may be re-
claimed by drainage at cost of 1925.
per acre. If the legislation proposed
by the drainage advocates should be
enacted these public lands would be
sold to homesteaders at the regular
pre-emptiOn price of $1.25 an acre,
plus the cost of drainage, or a total
of $3.50 an acre, payable in ten annual
installments. In this way the govern
ment would be reimbursed for the
money spent in draining the wet
lands, and the community would have
the benefit. The federal drainage
scheme proposes the reimbursement
to the government of the money ex-
pended in the initial work.
James ]. Hill. until lately president
of the Great Northern railroad. and
the genius of progress in the north
west, has long been interested in the
question of drainage, with especial
reference to the wet lands of Mime
sofa. About thirty-five years ago he
dug forty miles Of drainage bitches
at his own expense in swamp in the
valley of the Red River of the North.
The tract of land reclaimed by these
bitches is now among the most fertile
of all that rich agricultural section.
