have created a demand for the strong

greater than ever before. Under the

Drainage System In San luis.

Monte Vista, Colo.-Arthur E. Nor.
gan and his assistant Of the Geological
Survey are here making the prelimi
nary survey for the extensive drainage
system which will be constructed in the
San Luis valley this summer for the
purpose Of reclaiming the alkali land
1t is calculated that nearly 100000
acres OF land in the valley which had
hitherto been practically worthless for
farming purposes will be brought to a
high state Of productiveness by this
M ans.
The drainage system will be con
structed in such a manner that lands
may first be flooded and washed free
from alkali and then This water will be
taken by an extensive system OF
bitches to a large lake in the south
ern end of the valley.
According to the present calculations
1t may be a year before the project can
be completed, but it is recognized as
one OF the most important ever under
taken In the valley. The operation will
be carried on under the supervision of
the government, but the farmers and
landowners. who will receive the direct
benefit, will do the work.
The scheme will require an expAii-
ture OF nearly half million dollars
The water to food the lands will be
taken from the Rio Grande river and
various irrigating bitches.

After jackson Hole Rustlers.

Thermopolis, Wyo.-Three Wyomin,
sheriffs, Felix Aston OF Big Horn
county, Charles Slough of Fremont
county, and Frank Smith Of johnson
county. have disappeared into the
rough country between this place and
the Jackson Hole, while on the trail
Of gang of horse thieves and no
news is expected from them until
they either run down their quarry or
leave the trail at the Idaho line.
Horse stealing has been frequently
veported by ranchmen Of johnson, Big
Horn and Fremont counties, and the
depredations generally have been
traced TO one gang, Of which 1t 10 al
legged Walter ios is the leader.
All efforts to acrest members Of
This gang have failed because Of the
thieves thorough knowledge Of the
country and their trick of jumping
from one county to another, and occa-
sionally into Idaho or Montana.
Several days ago the officers picked
up the trail OF the thieves east OF this
place, followed 1t to Thermopolis and
thence westward into the rough coun-
try beyond which lies Jackson Hole.
The country In which Alston.
Slough and Smith are now seeking the
los gang is that made famous by the
story of the Virginian's pursuit OF
Trampas. Shorty, ct al. The Virgin
Ian and his tenderfoot friend rode
through the same section that the
sheriffs are now traversing. and came
out at the same objective point-the
Jackson Hole. Whether or not tho
three genuine thief hunters will have
the luck of the fictional ones and run
down their quarry in the beautiful
Jackson Hole is matter of conjec-
ture.

The Shinnecock's officers said they
hoped to get the steamer on at high

A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand the Taste Of

Two men were discussing the var

In such variety and abundance.
One. grocer. said. Il frequently try
. package or SO Of any certain article
before offering 1t to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form q different
idea than my customers have.
For instance. thought would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such q call for II.
At breakfast didn't like it and supper
proved the same. SO l naturally con.
ciuded that my taste was different
from that OF the customers who bought
It right along.
"A day or two after, I waited on a
lady who was buying q Csc package
and told her couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste of Postum,
know just what is the natter
she said. you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes. and
ten minutes Of that time 1t simmered.
and perhaps five minutes 1t boiled:
now II you will have it left to boil full
fifteen minutes after 1t commences to
boil, you will find delicious Java-liks

Oyster Bay.-President Roosevelt
has put his hearty approval on public
school rifle practice In Q letter o.
congratulations to Ambrose Scbarfen-
berg. OF Brooklyn. winner OF the shoot
ing trophy Of the public school athletic
league. he takes occasion to encourage
the system or ride practice inaugu-
rated by General George B. wingate,
retired. That the letter to young
Scharfenbergmay have as far reach
ing influence as possible, IT was made
public at the Presidents direction to-
day. In part the letter says:
Your skill Is . credit to you and
also to your principal. your teachers
and to all connected with the manual
training school which you attend and
l congratulate them all. Practice in
rife shooting Is Of value in developing
not only muscles. but nerves. steadi-
ness. and judgment under excitement.
II is therefore Of value to every man
throughout his life.
The public schools athletic league
has done nne work for the city and for
the country In introducing and promot-
ing athletics and q love for manly
sports in the public schools OF New
York. especially AZ the league most
wisely allows no one to compete who
is not up TO the passing mark. both in
studies and department. I am espe-
cially glad Of what 1t has done in es-
tablishing instruction in rife shooting
The United States has a very small
standing army. In time Of war II must
depend upon hasty leyies OF volunteers
and 1t Is q prime necessity that the
volunteer should already know how to
shoot II he is to be OF value as .
soldier.
In no modern war would 1t be pos
sible effectively to train men to shoot
during the brief period Of preparations
before the army takes to the Held. The
training must come in in advance and
the graduates from our schools and
colleges should be thus trained SO as
to be good shots with the military rise.
when so trained they constitute a
great addition to our national strength
and great assurance for the peace OF
the country"
