We are not informed as TO where the
Courier got this information-it is
news TO the writer and the annonce-
ment is unauthorized by the Golden
Drift Mining Co. There are no such
notices posted and never have been
upon this company's property. We do
keep the usual notices of water looa-
tions posted at the dam and have for
the past five years, but as for con-
demnstion suits for irrigation enter
prises none are contemplated.
We are not in position to begin aud
carry forward an irrigation enterprise
at this time and if we were. it ap.
pears TO the writer that country
through which an irrigation enter
prise must force its way by condem-
nation suits would not offer any
guarantee that the land owners
would take the water after the Ditch

this tube is inflamed you have a

Wheat is destined to be great

That's Where the Driver Had the Best

him from camp to camp, as he moved

One day he met a party Of men

The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property.

you?" he shouted at the clergyman.
I'll have you to Jail for this! There's
a law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city"
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling COM
panion of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away, but to little effect
until he added a two.dolar bill to his
arguments.

colon;sts Not Admitted Until Last
Year-Fertile Lands on Plateaus
Many Feet Above

New York.-It is about 30 years
since the Germans acquired the vast
region now known as German East
Africa. They had no idea then that
any part of the colony, which is only a
little south of the equator, could ever
become the home of white settlers.
Much to their surprise, they nave
found that about a sixth OF the coun-
try is so rich in soil and stands so
high above the sea that white men
may engage in manual labor there the
ye d around.
The regions that invite white col
onization are distributed in large and
small areas among the Usambara
mountains, near the sea; on the vast.
high plain south and west of Mount
Kilimanjaro; in the mountains and
rich valleys of Uhehe to the south
west; on the high tablelands of Urun-
di and Ruanda near the Congo Free
State and in other districts. Already
about 2,000 peasants from Germany
and the Transvaal have settled there.
though it was only last year that Ger
many got ready to admit colonists.
In some places there are only two
or three settlers, while in other re-
gions there are scores of families. 1t
is still an untamed wilderness and
Germany holds out no Slittering in
duCements.
In the circular of the colonial gov
vernment last year cOlOnists were told
thai they would be accepted only if
they were well, strong and temperate.
They must be prepared to endure
bravely the privations inseparable
from pioneer life. There was little
prospect of acquiring wealth, but the
diligent man could make a home for
himself and his family and become in
dependent.
The great regions of Urundi and
Ruanda, the most populous parts of
German East Africa about 500 miles
from the Indian ocean, are not yet
open to settlement, as orderly rela-
tons with the natives are not yet fully
established. These are the only re-
gions adapted for white occupancy
that are not yet accessible to colon
lists.
The government will ultimately sell
the land, but at present it is leased
to settlers for a few cents an acre. AS
soon as the settler has one-tenth of his
holding under cultivation or otherwise
devoted to useful purposes, he is en-
titled to purchase twice as much
land as he has improved at about 10
or 20 cents an acre.
The government requires all settlers
to bring at least $500 into the coun-
