Outside the protection our govern
ment is supposed TO give to all in the
way of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" as declared in the Decla-
ration of Independence, it has in rare
cases been Of greater service to the
people than in putting through the
irrigation projects which have turned
the eyes of SO many toward the West
ern states. The figures representing
the area of land within the limits OF
t..ese projects are not just now known,
but they comprise hundreds of thou
sands of acres. And by no means is
government doing it all, as there are
numerous enterprises of like char
acter, completed and under way, that
are backed by private capital
This land before it received water
was uninhabitable because unproduc-
tive. Vast stretches of desert covered
with cactus and sagebrush we're abso-
lutely unforbidding to the settler, as
nothing could be raised that could be
placed on the market or even support
life. 1t had seemed that in the econ
omy of nature, so far as man knew or
was concerned, the land was as value
less as is that on the peaks of the
highest mountains that are covered
with everlasting snow and ice.
In the solving of this great prob
lem the ingenuity Of man came to the
rescue. Once more he has learned
that the laws of the Almighty, wfien
found out and obeyed, work for his
good. The soil of these deserts
lacked only one thing to make it pro-
ductive-in fact, to cause it to blossom
as the rose-and that was water. The
aridity of the climate had long been
deplored, and the land was passed
by as worthless. There was water If
only it could be corralled and dis,rib-
uted. This water came from the
mountains and formed rivers, but how
to utilize this water was a problem
but at length it was discovered thai
it could be DONE Immense dams
some of them costing several millions
each, were built across the rivers
forming large reservoirs, and from
these the water is distributed.
Knowing this, it seems like stating
that two and two are four to discuss
the benefit it will be to the retail
lumber trade. On the face of it it is
a self-evident proposition. Wherever
people make their homes, there lumber
will be in demand 1t is the one prin
cipal product that must be considered
in connection with home making, ant
over this vast area of irrigated coun
try homes will be established.
Take, for instance, the $4,000 acres
that will be irrigated by government
water in the Nampa- Caldwell district
in western Idaho. Say that here the
unit farm is thirty acres, the number
of homes will be $500, and allowing
five persons to family, the population
on this tract will be 1880. The ma
jority, however, will not want to ex
coed twenty acres, many fifteen acres
and many ten acres. 1t is not likel!

Roosevelt went to the Union station,
where he took train for his old home

Immediately after the President had
taken the oath of Office, administered
by the chief justice of the United

and the inaugural committee, which
has general charge of the entire quad

The festivities were marred to
large extent by the weather. The city
was in the grasp of blizzard until
noon. The storm brought several

BANK VAULTS.
Precautions For the Purpose of Foil
ing the Cracksmen.

Many banks, especially those in
cities, have their vaults protected by
an elaborate system of concealed
wires connected to a central office not
so far away, so that the least tam
pering with the combination lock or
any attack upon the door or walls
will give the alarm at the central of
flee. where men are waiting day and
night to run to the rescue. The exact
method and devices that are used are
Kept rather secret for fear the bur-
glars themselves might learn too much
about them, but it may be explained
that one part of the apparatus is an
extremely sensitive relay located at
the central office. This delicate in
strument closes a local circuit which
sounds the alarm the moment there
is the slightest disturbance of the hid
den wires at and near the vault so
that a gang of burglars could hardly
get to work with their drills and their
nitroglycerin before the officers of the
law would be upon them
In addition to protecting vaults and
safes lIOu the u1rocC attacks OF rob-
bers. electricity affords another safe
guard by furnishing light which floods
the premises with it's searching beams
Indeed, many banks, stores and ware
houses rely mainly upon the electric
light, without which the thickest walls
and the strongest and most compli-
Gated locks would be useless. They
turn it on at night and leave their
window shutters wide open, so that
the interior may be in full view of
the policeman or Waterman passing
the windows all night. This makes it
practically impossible for lawbreakers
to work unseen.
To protect the money windows Of
banks the teller behind the window
has concealed push button at hand,
oftentimes placed under the counter
where he can touch it unobserved If
any one tries to steal any money, the
teller can call an officer instantly in
this way. The circuit is sometimes ar
ranged to close the bank doors also by
an electrically operated mechanism be-
fore the thief has time to get to them
and escape.-Harper's Weekly.

Greatness is thrust upon some in

the patriotism does not belong to ones

of Agostino Polidori, the great-grand-
father of Dante Gabriel ROssetti. The
incident is given in life of the poet

AN ANCIENT Y0KEL.
Not Quite Sure of His Age, but Knew
1t Was Somethn1 Fearful.

During a Saturday stroll in the coun-
try a pedestrian came upon an ancient
rustic engaged in breaking stones.
Drawing him into conversation, the PEI
destrian eventually asked the old fell
low how old he was.
ooh, l Dunno" was the reply, "but
know l be a fearful agew
But you must have some general
idea how old you are
mo, l dunno but 1 know I be
fearful age was the only estimate
that could be drawn from him.
''All right; We'll try to get at it in
bringing out his pencil and notebook.
Now, how old were you when you left

schulin'"
''And what did you do then?"
'Well. L was boy fur Farmer Giles
fur fifteen year"
'And after that?"
after that l worked fur Squire
Noakes fur seven and thirty year."
And what neXt?'
wei, L was wagner fur Cruker,
the carrier, fur four and forty year.
And so Oh, and so forth, Until the final
fact was elected that he had been en-
gagged on breaking stones for quarter
of a century. Then the inquirer OBJ
served, with whitening sarcasm:
$50 you do not know how old you
are? Well. I'll tell you. You're 37a
years old on your own showing"

yokel, with undisturbed serenity. 81

The claim had been good one from
the first and the owner did not have
to work hard. One day he was reclin-
ing full length idly searching for mug

He at once covered it with his hand
and sat up, rather wondering how he
would secure the treasure without be-

every man in the field would tramp to
the spot and invade his claim and so
prevent him working. A man in an

was struggling with an insane desire

nugget and seated himself on the top
Of it. Then laughter overpowered him,
and he became hysterical. Those
about him wondered, but thought the
sun had affected him. In little while
he gained his composure and decided
to go to his tent In lifting his coat
he managed to take up the lump Of
gold, and no one knew that he had

days had passed that the fact was
