National Irrigation Congress- and
Fred IL. KIeSeI

Hon. Fred j. Kiesel, of Ogden, has always been a
prime factor in the upbudng of the great new west
having resided nearly half century in this mountain
country
Chief among the great organizations which have
administered to the needs of civilization and deve-
opment of the great arid belt the National Irrigation
Congress in which Mr. Kiesel has been one of the
leading luminaries His sound advice and wise
counsel have had much do with the success ofmany
of the fifteen annual meetings which this organization
has held in different cities of the west
Utah has received many trophies at these annual
events, through her splendid exhibitions of fruits
cereals and other products of irrigation.
That he is still awake to the interests of the Con-
gress and to the greater effect which he hopes to see
it exert on the law making powers of the nation
is assured by his language, CLEANED from an
article in the Ogden State Journal, which says:
My ambition" Mr.. Kiesel said this morning: SIS
to hold session of the Irrigation Congress in Wash
lngton, D., c. in order that representatives from
all parts OF the country may the tremendous pos
s1bleS of this work to the arid and semi arid west
When that time comes Utah will be on hand with
great choir to sing the Irrigation Ode, and an ex-
hb1t that will open the eyes of the nation to what
is going on in this part of the world"

youth OF these new western states can rest assured
that every convenience and comfort for his in
tellectual advancement is going to be magnicently

The American Falls Press says:
Monday the electors of this district will vote on
the issuance of bonds in the of $4,000 for the
purpose OF erecting and equipping school building
Inc need Tor increased room and better facilities IS
imperative. The schools the past winter have been
crowded for room and fully third more children
must be provided for than have had schooling the
past year.
1t is proposed to erect six room building adj
Jong the present building, finishing three rooms
TOR the coming school year. A tenth grade will be
added and fouryear high school course is provided
by tfe 1ooWng year the grades will be crowded

II Real Poetic Gem.

The Salt Lake Tribune quotes the following in
terview from Dr. Quick of Meadows, Idaho. This
evidences the significant fact that environment is
conducive to results In this case it required con-
tact best at wedding in Utah to stir to
poetic action the soul of this gentleman whose
friends previously had never suspicioned the scope
of his descriptive ability The interview ran as fol-

spot in the United States than this little village of
$50 people. The Meadows is aptly named. 1t is
neither city nor town, but mere irregular assem-

left room for structure The mighty frs and
spruces remain undisturbed, their sturdy branches

ten miles to the east the sequestered Payette

The Measure of Power De fined.

The American Falls Press, located on the banks
of Snake river, near the Great American Falls
which is productive of such immense water power
thus defines the measure of power
We have been asked number of times to define
the capacity of 10000 horse power as applied to
power capable of being generated the great Amer
lean Fails. A single horsepower, according to the
prevailing calculation is that measure of power which
is required to lift weight of 900 pounds one foot
high in one minute. The real power of horse it
is estimated, is only about three fourths of this

power, equals the total pulling strength of giant

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Reclamation Hcf Results.

After many weary months of delay the south side
folks, located the Mnidoka project, the dawn
of good day for them in the coming of the water
for which they have waited long and anxiously.
During all these trying delays, the Bulletin OF
Burley has been the champion of the needs of the
people and at its beginning the able handiwork of
Major Reed gave that paper standing which made
it known in many places outside of Idaho.
That the reward is coming to this people and this
paper The Scimitar is truly gratied.
The Bulletin says
Notices posted by the South Side Mindoka Water
Users Association this week that bids will
be received until Monday noon May A. for moving
dirt the third canal of the south side pumping
system
This will be welcome to contractors well
as to every settler whose homestead is under the
third canal From the first there has been some
doubt as to whether the reclamation service would
permit the third canal to be constructed at this time
as there doubt to whether the settlers
could successfully carry out the work OF constructing
the canals.
But the settlers have demonstrated to the entire
satisfaction of the government that they canal
builders well ters of the soil, and after the
splendid showing made on the first and second canal
lines the reclamation officials had no hesitancy in al
lowing work to proceed the third line.
Eighty per cent of the first canal is completed and
about so per cent of the second canal is finished.
The contracts for removing the sagebrush the
third canal line let two weeks ago, and reports
from contractors Wednesday indicated that
third of the brush had been removed
The first canal is 18 miles long, the second 90 and
the third 49, Aside from this there are three feeder
canals at the end of the system the pumping

feeder 10000 feet or practically two miles, and the
c feeder LOO feet.

to one another. Sealed and unsealed
THROUGHOUT the nest; larvae, pupae
and young ants occupy many cham
bers. and adult members of the colo
ny use the remainder for working and
living rooms.
The mound building prairie ant
shows three distinct classes of indi-
viduals-the queens fertile females),
males, and workers (sterile females).
Males and fertile females, which are
about equal in number, form a COM
paratively small portion of the colony,
while the workers in large nests seem
almost numberless, there being at
least 10000.
The queen is about seven-siXteenths
of an inch long, of uniform yellow
brown color, with one pair of small
compound eyes and three very small
ocelli. Her mandibles are large, black
and armed with seven teeth, and she
is provided with a sting.
The male is about three-eighths of
an inch long with head and throax
nearly black, abdomen brown and
more pointed than that of the queen.
His head is small and bears two large
compound eyes. and three ocelli, the
middle one of which is much larger
than the other two He has no sting.
The workers vary in length from
three-sixteenths to five-sixteenths Of
an inch. The head is very large, two
or three times the width of the pro-
thorax. The mandibles are large,
curved, and armed with seven teeth.
They are well fitted for the tasks Of
Selling, cutting, crushing and saving.
The head bears no ocelli and the COM
pound eyes are small-about the size
of those of the queen. The workers
also are armed with stings. They vary
in size from a large form known as
the worker major to a smaller form
known as the worker minor Inasmuch
as this distinction is based on char
acters all of which show such a clear
intergrading that ten well-selected
workers may be so arranged that the
characters Of the worker major grad
ually shade off into those of the work
er minor. there is no good reason for
distinguishing the two extremes of
the series by special names. Not only
are there no structural characters but
there is no difference in function to
justify such a distinction.
Although these ants are larger than
most species and have two of the
most formidable weapons known
among insects-large, pointed man.
dibles and most efficient stings-they
are not quarrelsome, and fight only in
self-defense.

FINeER-RowLs OF SHELLS.
In Use in the South Seas for Many
Hundred Years.

The author of a recent English
being woman, mentions many things
which the ordinary book of travel
omits to notice. Miss Grimshaw tells
us more of how the people live in
their homes and less of head-hunting
than books Of travel and adventure
commonly relate. Among other domes-
tic matters, she, describes the finger
bowls of the more refined tables at
which she was entertained with true
Polynesian hospitality.
If we of civilized countries think
that we invented finger-bowls either
in form or in use, we are mistaken.
The South seas invented them a few
they were necessary to our own deli
cate refinement. A bowl full of water
is handed round to every diner in
South sea house.
The water is from the river, pure
and fresh The bowl is of mold more
nearly perfect than the most exquisite
models of ancient Greece. 1t is deli
cately hued with pale brown in the
inner part and with deep sienna brown
outside.
This bowl is half cocoanut-shell-
beautiful, useful, practically unbreak-
able, yet not of sufficient worth to pre-
vent its being thrown away tomorrow

break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilrner's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to 60 often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have

eovery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DIR. Kill
