The Modest Third.

Early in the Congressional career of
Mr.. Blaine, says a writer in the New
York Tribune, when Thaddeus Stevens
died, who for ten years had dominated
Congress, Mr.. Blaine, who entered the
House the same year as the late Sen
ator Allison, remarked to a friend in
the rotunda of the Capitol, The death
Of Stevens is an emancipation for the
Republican party. He kept it under
his heel"
"Whom have you got left for lead
ers? queried the friend.
There are three young men coming
forward, was Mr.. Blaine's reply.
There is a young man to be heard
from, pointing to Allison, who was
passing. James A. Garfield is an
other"
There was a pause, and the friend
asked, .''Well, who is the third?"
Mr.. Blaine gazed up in the dome, and
said quietly, 81 don't see the third"

INDIAN GRAPE PICKERS.
Come from Reservations to Help Gather
RaiSinS.

With the approach of the grape har-
vesting and raisin making season the
Indians from the reservations in the
mountains back Of San Diego begin to
flock to the valleys where the vineyards
lie. Among these the beautiful Ell Cal
yon valley with its broad acres of vines
attracts many of the dusky people.
Down the grades they come humping
over. rough places and raising clouds of
dust in their rickety old wagons and car
riages Horseback, burro back and on
foot they pass by in large and small par
ties. The conveyances are usually rath-
er dilapidated affairs, purchased from
the rubbish heap of some rancher or Sec
ond hand dealer and patched together
with baling wire, as is the harness. But
sometimes a prosperous tribesman, the
owner of little place of his own, passes
by, his wagon new and the squawS and
children comfortably, though very gaudi-
ly, dressed.
Old carriages which have evidently
seen e n, better days are met with, the head
OF the family occupying the box and the
women and children piled together with
household effects. feed for the team and

the other end of the leading rope-ike

people, and this journeying at harvest
time is holiday excursion to them.
Horse races, peon games and other
pleasures dear to the Indians heart are
to be enjoyed between spells of hard
but wealth yielding work when the des-
tination is reached and camp pitched.
Old mountaineering among those from
other reservations will be renewed, and

twenty-eight tremendous irrigation
projects, as the result Of which water
will be turned on to more than half q
million acres of land this year. At
Roosevelt, Ariz., for instance, public
funds are being expended to throw
across Salt River dam 2S4 feet high
that will hold back enough water to
put a slice two feet thick over the
whole state of Rhode Island. The dam
will not be finished until 1910, but
when it is completed it will convert
into gardens 100000 acres around Pkn-
nix that are now good only for the buz-
yards to fly over. The agricultural de-
partment has analysed the soil and
found that it is remarkably fertile ;
the climate cannot be eXcelled, and, as
soon as the water comes, no region
will be more productive.
Then there is California. Anyone
who has ever entered the Golden State
at the little southern town called 'The
Needles" doubtless remembers his
amazement that the state should be
called the 'land of sunshine, fruit and
flowers" The sunshine is there, all
right, but the fruit and flowers can be
found only in the dining car. Outside
there is only sand, sand, sand-mil-
lions of acres of it, as far as the eye
can reach-and cactus bushes. It's the

casionaliy sees a mirage that may be

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS.

l love to, hear the wind blow, on mornings
in the spring;
l think it blows us grass and flowers and
birds that like to sing
l love to hear it blowing, in summers days
of ease;
1t sets the ripe wheat curtsying and whis
pers in the trees,
And tips the tall white lilies that smell as
sweet as musk.
But love best the wind of fall that blows
the leaves at dusk.
The brown leaves dance before it, and rus.
tie as they go;
The red leaves on the maple trees come
flying to the show.
I'm glad that winters coming; I'm sure
as l can be
The wind that blows the leaves at dusk
blows happy days to me.
When the wind blows, when the wind goes
whirling down the street
All day long it sings a song that's made
for dancing feet.
1 have a hundred wishes that no one ever
knows,
But many or few. they all come true wher
the fall wind blows. st. Nicholas.

Governments Great Projects.
However, all this is to be changed.
AT Yuma the government has made a
start toward supplying water to the
desert, and while the task may not be
completed for years, part Of the arid
land will be reclaimed within the next
two years. The undertaking now un-
der way consists of damming the Colo
RADIO River at Yuma and diverting its
waters into two channels by means of
which the adjacent country on both
sides Of the stream will be watered.
About $4,000 acres of land will be
made productive by this work alone.
By similar means $4,000 acres will be
reclaimed in northern California.
The government has also done some.
thing and is doing more to bring back
to life some Of Nevada's 81, 100000 dead
tain snow is diverted to the parched
tracts far below in the valley. The
work has already progressed so far
that water has been turned on to So
600 acres. and within a few months
irrigation bitches will be ready to sup
ply 1000 more eighty-acre farms This
Is only q start, of course, and does
not amount to much. But when the
fact is considered that the government
has enough arid land in Nevada to
make two states as large as New York
it is evident that the small start that
has been made is but the forerunner
Of a great finish.
Conduit Through Mountain.
Out in what is known as the "Gunni-
son country in Colorado, another gi,
gantic undertaking is under way. AT
the bottom of Gunnison canyon is a
picturesque little stream called the
Gunnison River, that up to this time
has served no other useful purpose
than to increase the beauty of the seen
cry and hold speckled trout to lure
fishermen hundreds of miles. But the
Gunnison River will soon be known
no more to the fishermen. Within a
year, probably, it will be shunted off
into a tunnel. This tunnel will take
the turbulent little stream through the
heart of a mountain and dump it over
10000 acres of land. The conduit
through the mountain will be almost
six miles long. Work has been going

Fear of the Law.

The literal strictness Of German
rules and regulations has always been
a matter of amusement to other nations
which do not insist so rigidly on the
letter Of the law. A writer in the
Washington Star recently told story
illustrating this point. Two men,
Schmidt and Krauss, met one morning
in the park.
Have you heard" said Schmidt, "the
sad news about Muller?"
NO." said Krauss. What is it?"
"Well, poor Muller went boating on
the river yesterday. The boat capsized
and he was drowned. The water was
ten feet Deep"
"But couldn't he swim?"
Swim? Don't you know that all
persons are strictly forbidden by the
police to swim in the river?"

Salt Lake Valley need be told what the
rest of Utah will some time look like.
When the Mormons went to Utah the
country around Salt Lake was as desc
late as the mind could picture. Now
the River Jordan winds through as
beautiful country as lies outdoors.
Water did it all-water from the river
and water from the mountains that
was sluiced over the land. And in that
state. the United States government
owns more than 100000 of other
thirsty acres.
The national government also has
large holdings in twenty-four other
states and territories Uncle Sam owns
enough land in New Mexico, for in
stance. to make two states almost as
large as New York and Indiana
enough in Montana to make another
commonwealth far exceeding in area
the great State Of Illinois, and enough
in Nevada to make twelve states as
large as New Jersey. He could carve
out five states as large as Massachu-
sets from what he owns in Idaho, and
seven Vermonts from his unused lands
in Arizona. And that is saying nothing
about his 100000 acres In North Da-
kota, his 100000 acres in Oregon, his
100000 acres in Washington, and his
1900 600, acres in California and his
24.OOOOOO acres in Colorado.
Some Of this land has nothing but
gold and silver in it. The rest Of 1t Is
heavily freighted with the latest posi-
bilities of potat toes, alfalfa, wheat, oats,
corn and fruit. All that this latter
class of soil needs to make it produc-
tive is water. In the old days this
seemed to be an insurlnountable diff
Guilty. Arid land boomers talked to
their prospective customers in vain.A
'4This land needs only water and
good society to make the country a
paradise" said one Of these gentry, ac-
cording to an old joke.
''That's all the internal regions
need" retorted the traveller from the
East, who had Kentucky relatives.

The euieting order relative to discus
sion among naval officers of the points
at issue iR the Newport conference is a
wise course. There are differences of
opinion among experts as to the compare
tive standing of American battleships,
and some naval officers have expressed
opinions on both sides of the question.
If there is anything wrong about the
battleships of the United States it will
be corrected as a result of the discussion,
and therefore further talk is unneces-
sary and disturbing.

Congress will doubtless heed the re-
quest for an adequate number of Golfers
for the navy, made in his annual report
by Rear-Admiral William S. Cowles,
chief of the bureau of equipment. There
is room for differences as to the need
of additional battleships and cruisers,
but there ought to be no dissent from the
proposition that everything should be
done to keep the efficiency of the existing
navy up to the top notch.

The epidemic Of the foot and mouth
disease in this country at the present
time is now said to cover wider field
than in 1923. when 100000 was re-
CURED to pay the expense of stamping it
out. The department of agriculture may
feel obliged to ask for an emergency
appropriation of a round million dol
lars to meet the exigencles of the pres
ent occasion. It's a good deal of money,
but it will be we'll and economically ex-
pended if it stops the epidemic.

The Time Limit in House of Commons

Sir Carne Rasch. whose retirement is
announced. will be sadly missed in the
House of Commons. in which he has sat
for the last twenty years. He had a
remedy OF his own for the congestion of
business in the House, namely. that a
time limit for speeches should be es-
tabllshed. Ten minutes, he held, would
suffice to exhaust the knowledge of the
average legislator on any subject and his
own breezy and effective speeches seldom
exceeded the standard he wished to es-
tablish.-London Globe.

The hunting season closed as tragical-
" as it opened. There were killings up
to the last moment, both of game and
of hunters, and the cost of the sport in
sorrow and suffering has been infinitely
greater than the financial outlay, which
is always high il comparison with the re
turn in sport and venison. Latterly the
real zest of the sport for many has been
in the risks which ventures into the
woods entail.

The steamer Meacham is on the way
to Buffalo from Lake Superior port
with a cargo of 421 900 bushels of wheat.
This is valuable load for a dangerous
closing run, but there is no reason why
the Meacham should not get through to
her destination without trouble. In the
days of sailing craft which loaded down
to the covering board" navigators
sneaked through to Buffalo from Milwau-
kee between gales sometimes as late as
the middle of December.

The report from London that bill is
to be introduced in the House of Com
mons to prohibit the use of hop substi-

do not resort to tricks Of that kind, but
give consumers beer from the real stuff.
