SIX MILLION YEARS AGO,

How little life time is compar-
ed with the sweep of time. Even
the earth, winch is SO old the fig
ures are staggering, according to
the best guesses OF the scientists,
is likely juvenile compared to
some other planets in some other
solar systems. Most OF us are too
busy with the present to give more
than passing thought TO the life
that has passed, butithe men OF
science. who devote years to such
matters, CLEAN much information
that would be of interest to all 1t
we had time to read it. This Is
brought to mind just now by an
important discovery in FOSSILS III

the University of Chicago discover

abruptus. large amphibious api-
NAL OF the Cretaceous age. The
remains were found in the chalk
beds along the SmokyHill river IN
Kansas. out toward the Colorado
line. The scientists figure this
animal and its kind lived in Kan
sas about six million wears ago.
Kansas was not dry state at that
time; OF the contrary, il was for
1he most pant a sea. III which

TAFT AND SHERMAN.

1t will be the verdict OF the
country regardless of party that III
w. II. TAFT the Chicago conven-
ton nominated for president can
didate in the full sense OF the word
Of presidential size, man tried
and tested in positions only second
TO that of the presidency Until
the Spanish war, in fact, there
never has been an Office in the gov
eminent in which the statesmanlike
qualities needed at the executive
head of the nation were or could
be so thoroughly tried out as
the Offices Mr.. Taft has now held
Tor seven years, Governor general
of the Philippines and secretary OF
war in charge of all the depend
encies, the Philippines, Panama
Porto Rico and essentially Cuba as
well. No man in American history
has had so extensive an experience
IN administrative work. Moreover,
his service on the federal bench
and his judicial bent of mind in
sure that he will be safe Presi
dent. The country refuses to con
slider the plea of Wall street sus-
poets that this broad gagged, large
minded, judicious man will run the
ship of state on the rocks OF Pop
nl;sm. Secretary Taft fairly cap
1ured the national convention and
got his nomination on the first bal
lot because the country has contid-
ence in his ability and character
and because in the test of a year S
canvas he has proven to be the best
availaDie man in the nation to
head his party ticket.
The campaign will show to
what extent the alleged prejudice
of organized labor exists against
Secretary Taft, and how far the
Brownville affair has alienated the
merge vote from him. Much has
been made OF these two alleged
elements of weakness. Mr.. Taft
is not class nor a sectional can
hidate and even his partisanism
is not of such a thick and thin
character but that he could re-
buke his party, on occasion, as IN
Ohio three years ago. He repre-
SCENTS a rare type of party leader,
rather. The issues he stands for
are set forth in the Republican
party platform and it is due TO
him that the platform is the most
explicit and pronounced since Ere
1nout's day. The man and the
platform go together, They will
represent the character and the
and the progressive IN
stincts of the Republican party.
James Schoolcraft Sherman, the
nominee for vice president, is not
so we'll known in the west as his
colleague. He is native of New
York. He has represented New
York in Conrgess since 1886 and
has been prominent in political
affairs for years. He is a lawyer,
banker and manufacturer

Steel Headgates.

The Register of Idaho Falls
prints a most interesting article on
the installation of steel headgates
in the Idaho Canal, which has its
headquarters in that city. This is
b new departure, and indicates
the substantial nature of improve
ment in irrigation matters in
Idaho. The Register says:
1.-THE Idaho Canal and Improve
|ment Company, through the resi-
dent manager, Mr. George H.
Perry has completed arrangements
for the construction and installa-
ton of one hundred steel head
gates to be set in concrete. This
is an innovation in canal con-
struction so far as Idaho is con-
crened and is but an illustration
of the progress being made along
all lines in this country which
will tend to improve conditions.
The steel headates are not an e;t-
pertinent i'll older settled irrigat
ed districts but have proven de-
cided success. The use of this mod
ern Improvement in canal construc-
ton does away with the washing
out of the headgates, which has
proven disastrous at times to the
farmer and planter. The gates,
set as they are,in solid concrete,
hre able to withstand the heaviest
water pressure and are built 10 last
the first cost of construction being
offset by the reduced maintenance
cost. These gates will be install
ed at cost of over -, 500 and will
save their cost many times over in
efficacy of the wster
while this saving in mainten-
ance is a feature to be considered |
the first and foremost fact to be
borne in mind is that by their nse
he canal company will be enabled |
20 control the water supply and in
his way positively assure the
water user an equitable division to
Ill users, it matters not where The
)e located, at the head or the END
If the canal. "This means great
leal to the water user, it means
hat the canal company through
is representatives will be able to
control the distribution and see
hat each user gets what he is en-
tiled to and pays for, just distri-
,ution of the water.
"The average headgate as built
~ the user or farmer is at best a
limsy affair, even though he puts
orth his best effort in its construc-
ion. This stands to reason, the
verage water user is not necessar-
ly an engineer, as result the
,oorly constructed gate gives way t
t some time and the result is a
ooded field and a ruined crop.
The steel headgates will do away
With this bad feature.
