SO much of other value as to make

Before receiving them the binder
had asked the owners to take out
policy for themselves protecting them
against such fire loss. The firm had
not done SO, and when the fire dam

was to hold the binder for them under
one Of the binders blanket policies.

The following verses will be remem-
bered as having been recited at I'm
ion League Club dinner in New York
to some naval officers in 1899. 1t took
three years to quiet the International
vibrations. Just at present, however,
in view of the political uprising against
the Kaiser in his own country, their
publication will prove timely.

WILL SOON Be COMPLETED.
Work on First of Judicial bitches
is Progressing Rapidly.
Will Reclaim Lands for Farming
Purposes Valued at 100000.

By the expenditure of $4,000, farm
lands in Nicollet county having a
value of at least 100000 are to be re-
claimed. This is being accomplished
by the construction of the Rush river
judicial ditch, work on which was be-
gun four months ago. 1t is an en-
gineering enterprise of vast impor-
tance to farmers in Nicollet and Sib-
ley counties, and when it is completed,
soon after the first of the year, it will,
in addition to restoring large tract
of land, drain some 10000 acres.
The Rush is small stream which
empties into the Minnesota river near
Henderson. Not many years ago it
was little better than acreek, frequent
ly drying up in the summer months,
but so many county drainage bitches
were led into it that in recent years it
has been kept at feod-stage practi-
cally all the time. Saud and earth,
washed down from the lateral bitches,
flied the original channel in many
places, with the result that the stream
overdowed its banks, inundating low
lying farms and meadows and destroy
ing the usefulness of hundreds Of acres
of valuable land.
Endless annoyance was caused by
the repeatedly-recurring floods, and a
few years ago the situation became SO
acute that the food sufferers petitiened
the Sibley county district court for an
Injunction restraining the upland far
mers from constructing any more
county bitches. At it's last session
the state legislature enacted a law
empowering district judges to estab
lish judicial bitches where streams
had become swollen and damage had
drainage systems, and the Rush river
petition was the first to be filed under
that law. ..'..
AS originally planned the ditch was
to have an average width of twelve
feet at the bottom, but the Hamlin
Construction company is digging it
with minimum width of eighteen
feet. It's contract requires it to dredge
the stream a distance of twelve miles,
and 1t Is strengthening its tortuous
course, as we'll as deepening and wide
ming the channel. The dredging ma
Chine, which is equipped with an in
dividual electric lightning plant, is
operated both day and night, and has
removed on an average of 1000 cubic

REDWOOD CANYON
To UNCLE SAM
Giant SeQuoias on Mount
TamaIpaiS Will Be Protected
by the Government as a Ma
tionaI Monument,

Washington d. c., Feb. 2.-One Of
the most public spirited gifts ever
made to the government has come
from William Kent, of Chicago, who
has lust decided to the United States
295 acres of primeval redwood forest
on the southern slope of Mt Tamal-
pals, about six miles from the city Of
san Francisco. The land was decided
to the government with the approval
of Forester clifford Pinchot chief of
the United States forest service. The
papers have now gone to the seCre-
tary Of the interior and a proclamation
declaring the canyon a national monu-
ment will be signed at an carly date.
This means that more of CalitOr-
MAS redwood giants will be saved for
the scientific study and pleasure of
the whole country, in fact the whole
world, for the great soquoias are only
found in the Golden state. This grove
given to the government by Mr.. Kent
is one of the only tracts of redwood
forests to be found in its natural state
in California today The land is said
to have cost Mr.. Kent $4,000 some
years ago, but it's stand of redwood
timber alone is now valued at more
than $150.0O0 on the market.
The CANYONS of TamalDais which
drain into San Francisco BAY. were
emf clean wears ago and the redwood
obtained from them went into the con-
struCtion of the old San Francisco
The giants on the tract to be known
nc Nuir Woods escaped the ak, how
ever chiefly because the outlet is on
the ocean side instead of the bay
side and also because the various
owners of the land have for senti-
mental reasons fealously guarded the
timhe, from harm or destruction

SUNSHINE IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Children Keep One from Becoming
Selfish and Are Joy.

The woman who has no children
never knows the greater joy of devo-
ton. Her sympathies, instead of ex-
tending themselves, will narrow more
and more and tend to concentrate
themselves upon the merely pleasur-
able experiences and sensations which
only lead souls about in their own
labrynthine domain. She may win
personal distinction and high fame.
She may surely deserve them, but she
will be in danger of following the
false way which begins and ends in
self, says Julia Ward Howe, in the
Delineator. If the fates deny her mar
riage or leave it bare Of offspring, let
her win to her arms some motherless
child and study the lesson taught by
the dear Christ when He placed a
child before His disciples and babe

science of life.

lily overappreciated- mobile cnun-

Now the turret of a battleship is

which the torpedoes were fired would

tain and true. These fortresses and
torpedo stations could be protected
from torpedo boats and even subma-
rine boats by heavy barriers of steel
netting surrounding each. Then, with
fields of mines laid between, the utter
destruction of any attacking feet
would be certain.
Any coast, too, lined with these
steady floating fortresses could con-
slider itself amply protected, and would
need no fleet of battleships tied close
to home. All ocean-going vessels of
war could be permitted to roam about
and enter upon offensive operations
wherever desired. The floating fort
resses would have little machinery or
other mechanism to bother with, and
only enough men to serve the guns
would be required.
If Mr.. Murray's inventions are
adopted by the government, the prob
lem of providing a large number of
battleships for the defense of the coast
and the protection of outlying islands
belonging to Uncle Sam will become
less pressing. The island possessions
of the United States will be consid-
cred safe, guarded by Gordon of
floating fortresses, and the general
adoption of them along the American
coast is apt to change the European
viewpoint to a considerable extent. No
foreign nation will be eager to rush
into fight with so well protected a
country as the United States.
The inventor of this new system of
marine construction is an American
engineer, a Californian by. birth, and
of Scotch descent. 1t is asserted by
marine authorities that his discovery
means definite step forward in the
worlds progress and that his inven-
tions are the most momentous since
the substitution of steel for wood in
naval construction.

The Alpine spirit is growing in
America. and there is a constantly in
creasing number of people in the
United States who annually seek the
lofty mountains and strive to scale
difficult and sometimes impossible
heights. These people drawn together
by their enthusiasm and devotion to
a common sport have organized the
American Alpine club, and include in
their numbers some of the most dis
tinguished Alpinists in the world.
There is also a Canadian Alpine
club, and these two clubs mingle fra
ternally in the summer assaults upon
the lofty peaks of the Canadian
Rockies. Just at the present time
plans are being laid for the outing
arranged for early in July, when the
Canadian Alpine club will assemble
at Glacier, British Columbia, for its
annual outing, and the mountain
climbers of both the United States
and Canada who respond to the call
of the mountain peak will attempt to
obtain fresh thrills and furnish new
oratorical SMILES by essaying the con-
quest of at least two of the uncon-
quered monarchs of the Selkirks. The
knowledge that there are unattained
heights, whose whitened, jagged
heights rival those of the Swiss Alps
in every respect, close to the border
of the United States, will be fresh to
many an American who has almost
come to believe that only the SUBMITS
of the Himalayas, rising into the
rarefied air of Central Asia, as bleak
as the mountains of the moon, remain
to be surmounted.
Four very prominent peaks, among
a multitude of lesser ones in this re-
gion, are still virgin SUBMITS, al
though they have been attacked. They
are Mount Pinnacle, which was at
tempted three times in one season, but
without success; the north tower of
Mount Goodsire, Mount Douglas and
Mount Sanford, discovered two years
ago by triangulation to be the high
est of the Selkirks and the Mont Blanc
of this section. All are worthy of the
ambition of the most 'skillful climbers.
The base of Mount Sanford has
never been approached nearer than
25 miles. This mountain will be es-
saved by Benjamin S. Comstock OF
New York city, veteran Alpine
climber, who has visited this region
| for six years. He will be accompanied
by companion and two Swiss guides.
The start for the summit of the 11,6OO-
| foot peak will be made on July 10.
1t is believed that it will take at least
ten days to perform the feat, If it is
ACCOMPLISHED. To reach the base the
party will drop down the Columbia
river 25 miles in canoe to the mouth
of Green river, 40 miles from the
mountains base.
Properly nailed boots are considered
| to be the most important detail OF a
climbers outfit. They must be water
proof to their very tops. Every nail
| must be driven with nicely and in
dividuality that amounts to an art.
Care must be taken to see that the
| leather is firm enough to hold the
nails after they have been driven, for
it would be inconvenient to have
them come out when the wearer was
