contains a good fruit area, where
apples and the harder fruits grow
in profusion. The principal crops
raised are potatoes lin which the
results rival the Greeley fields, }
peas, oats, wheat, barley, alfalfa
and all the root crops. The results
obtained with these crops are ex-
traordinary and are equal to the
best obtained anywhere in the
state
The present company is build
ing and has already partially COM
pleted an extensive system of res
ervoirs and canals in the vicinity
of Eastdale which will bring 10000
acres under immediate cultivation.
This development will be COM
pleted about April l, and no land
will be offered for sale to settlers
until on or about that date. One
reservoir site upon this property
has measured capacity of 1900
acre feet, construction on which
will begin next year and there are
some ten other sites available and
feasable 1t is reported that an
irrigation system to cost upwards
of one million dollars is contem-
plated
The section has long been
famous as a grazing country and
is especially adapted to cattle and
sheep.
The grazing possibilities alone
are estimated by competent judges
as of very large value. There are
some 100000 acres of grazing land
and nearly 100000 acres of timber
land, unquestionably the largest
body Of timber in the state out
side of the forest reserves.
1t is the intention of the new
owners to develop the mineral
resources of the tract which in
1895 and 1896 experienced quite
boom.
Streams on the grant afford ex-
cellent opportunities for the devel-
opment of electrical power and
engineering reports indicate that
power can be generated at small
expense sufficient to supply the
demands OF all adjacent portions
of the state.
The great difficulty experienced
hitherto has been the lack of
transportation facilities and the
want of storage reservoirs. The
reservoirs are already under pro-
cess of construction and arrange
ments have been made for the
starting early next year of railroad
construction from some point on
the ID. e. r. G. which will bring
the entire agricultural portion of
the property within easy access of
markets.
The magnitude of the enterprise
is more easily understood when
one realizes that it empraces an
area nearly four -fifths the size of
the state of Rhode Island and
about one-third as large as the
state of Connecticut. The value
of this immense property, esti-
mated at so low a figure as $40 per
acre, is upwards of S5,0OO,OOO.
The company is backed by abun-
dant capital and development will
not be hindered or delayed by lack
of funds.

WITH DEATH
IS LOST BY GIRL
Daughter of Spanish Consul at
Chicago Dies as She Is
Rushed Across Ocean.

NEW YORK, June 13.-After losing in
a race with death, Mrs. Berthold Singer,
wife OF the Spanish consul TO Chicago,
arrived here today on the steamship
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, Of the Ham
burg-American line, with the dead body
OF her fifteen-year-old daughter. Ada
The young girl died a victim of phthisis
at sea on Tuesday last while she was
being hurried 10 this country in order
that she might see her father before she
suecumbed.
Berthold Singer. the father Of the girl,
went DOWN the bay on the revenue cut
ter Hudson to meet the steamship. He
had been notified of his daughter S
death by a wireless message from Mrs
Singer. When he boarded the steam
ship Mr.. Singer found his wife pros
trated in her cabin.
In February last Mr.. Singer, accom-
panied by his wife and son, Alfred, went
TO Europe with the little girl, who was
suffering from phthisis. They consulted
almost every specialist Of note in Eu-
rope and even sent the girl 10 sanitar-
juus for treatment, but her condition
kept growing worse. Owing to bust
ness Mr.. Singer was compelled to re-
turn to this country, and he left the girl
in the care OF her mother.

Announcement of Oft Denied
Engagement Will Be
Made Soon.
ROYAL RELATIVES
DISLIKE WOMAN
Duke of Connaught Displeased
With Position Made for
Him at Malta.

LONDON, June 13-The Connaughts
lare once more largely in the public eye
IN the first place, the duke. who IL
'brother of the King, has returned pre-
eipitately with the duchess from Malta
IN a very bad temper and thoroughly
fdisgusted with his absurd job as com
nlander-in-chief OF the Mediterranean
forces.
N the second place, Prince Arthur
and Lady Marjorie Manners have beat
down all opposition with a persistency
that has won All classes Of society,
and it can be stated that the announce
ment OF their Oft-denied betrothal will
be made before the end of the season.
She Is Rich; He Is Poor.
There really is no reason for opposI-
ltion 10 the engagement, save royal OBJ
stinaey.
Lady Marjorie Is twenty-five years
OF age. and is accounted one Of the
prettiest women OF the aristocracy; neI
father, the Duke OF. Rutland. is one of
the premier mobiles OF England, and has
half a dozen country seats. a uagnif-
cent town house, and is wealthy almost
beyond avarice-
On the other hand. Prince Arthur,
though dashing in appearance and a
thorough sportsman, Is as poor as
church mouse.
His father and the King have for
long while been looking around for
lsome satisfactory girl for him TO
marry. Various continental Processes
and highEesses were selected. but
Prince Arthur has manifested a viii OF
his own. and il his royal parents and
relatives opposed his choice he has been
equally determined 10 oppose theirs.
Duke Ambitious as Soldier.
The Duke Of Malta, who is a poor
man, IS intensely ambitious in the mill
itary line. When Lord Roberts retired
from The post of Commander-in-chief of
the British army he did so 10 make room
for the Duke Of Connaught, and the
Tory government Of the day, yielding
to the pressure OF the King. made the
duke cOmmandcr-in-chief under the
title of inspector general
with the incoming Liberal govern
ment the King was bluntIy told that
the duke must resign from the inspec-
tor generalship. At first the King re-
fused to listen to the suggestion. but
the premier made his argument so
strong against having a royal duke at
the head OF the army that he duke
made way for General French, an eff
cient military man, and so a nev- JOB
was created-commander- yf the
Mediterranean forces-and a year ago
COnnaught sailed for Malta to take up
his command.
No Chance for Him in India.
He now realizes that the creation OF
the post had no excuse save 20 give him
a fob. The duke, who takes his soldier
ing seriously. has practically demanded
that he be given post with actual re-
sponsibiliJy.
The suggestion TO send him TO india
TO replace Lord Kitchener will not be
tolerated for a moment by the present
Liberal government. The government
realizes at last that conditions IN IN
dia are precarious and that they must
have in command there a man OF ac-
ton and one competent to handle the
situation.

meeting occurred the only disturbance
of the day. Lady Henry SOmerHet was
speaking. She was attacking ths r5Wdy
methods that some Of the more ardent

meetings, when some of those she was
aiming at began to hiss her. Lady

stored.
