 Perhaps the most distinguished American that ever visited St Bo- tolph's was Hawthorne, who ran down to Lincolnshire during one of his trips abroad ou. of pure desire to see the place. He printed in the Atlantic Monthly of January, 1862, the result of his pilgrimage.
 ''In the right-hand aisle of the church there is an ancient chapel" this pill grim then goes on to say, which in the time of our visit was in process of restoration and was to be dedicated to Cotton, whom these English people consider as the founder of our Amer. ican Boston,"
 Until lately it has been thought on both sides of the water that our Bos. ton owes its name to the fact that John Cotton came here from a city so called In England. Carlyle Is prob. ably chiefly responsible for this mis. conception, for, in his book on Crom. we'll, he said the thing so strikingly that one can scarcely fail to take it as truth

Eels and the Searchliuht.

Danish investigators have found a means of checking the downward mi grafton of breeding cells to the sea, whereby it is hoped that valuable food supply may be saved for the country, for these migrating cells, when they have once reached the sea never return to their native rivers. The method is simplicity itself. A large acetylene searchlight is placed by the river bank in such position that It's rays can be made to illuminate the comparatively shallow water and it Is found that by this means the down ward movement of the fish can be eff. fectively checked

THE SALE OF BOYS SUITS.

One of the most important sales of the Summer is now going on at Meigs & O.. s, and that is the sale of boys suits. It lis the regular cleanup of broken lines, and involves children s Russian and Sailor suits and boys double-breasted knee-pants and bloom CT suits. Parents of boys know we'll enough that suit that comes from Meigs & Co. s is the best that can be bought at the price. In consequence, these sales are always anxiously wait ed by hundreds of parents, and they are fast helping Meigs & Co. clean up their broken lInes. In wash suits radi7 cal cuts have been made, with the idea of a quick clearance of every suit in stock. The reductions are surprising. Even in the shoe department the boys have their share in the reductions, many pairs of Oxfords for boys and children now being marked much be- low regular prices. Boys straw hats have taken big price tumble too.

TO PUSH BELLE FOURCHE WORK
Uncle Sam Will Be Able to Open Big
Tract This Year.

Since 1t has been practically decid-
ed that Orman & Crook, the bankrupt
contractors, will not attempt to COM
plete the work on the Belle Fourche
irrigation project, the government has
been taking steps toward a speedy re-
sumption Of work, and now is perfect
ing a plan whereby this will be start
ed in a few weeks and continued un-
til the work is completed.
Twenty-Five per cent of the Orman
E. Crook contract is finished. and ne
half OF the entire project is completed.
It Is estimated that it will require six
years to complete the project. AS the
work stands to-day there are 10000
acres Of land on the south side of the
creek on which the water a be turn
ed this year, making it ready for i'm
mediate purchase by the public. For
this land the government will receive
IS. so per acre for the use OF the water
from the ditch, giving a revenue OF
S42, 600. This amount will be used to
finish the north side Of the creek. For
the six year the government will re-
ceiye $3.50, 900 from the users of water
on the south side and $150,000 from
the north side, which, together with
the tools and horses of the Orman C
Crook company seized by the govern
u,ent. will come close to making up
the 100000 which will have to be e x
nended before the entire work is com
pleted.
It is on these lines that the govern
ment figures that it can complete the
proiect cheaper and better than by
granting a new contract.
