The term "non-irrigable land-' as used in this act. is construed to mean land which, as a rule, lacks sufficient rainfall to produce agricultural crops without the necessity of resorting to unusual methods of cultivation. such as the system commonly known as "dry farming" and for which there is no known source of water supply from which such land may be sue cessfull irrigated at a reasonable cost
 Therefore, lands containing mer- chantable timber. mineral lands. and lands within a reclamation project, or lands which may be irrigated at q reasonable cost from any known source of water supply, may not be entered under this act. Minor DOT tions of legal subdivision suscepti- blc of irrigation from natural sources as. for instance, a spring. will not ex- clude such subdivision from entry under this act. provided. however, that no one entry shall embrace in the aggregate more than 70 acres of such irrigable lands.

COLLEGE PIPE OF PEACE.
Colby Graduates May This Year Re-
vive an Old Custom.

From the Lewiston Journal.
When the class of 1862 left Colby they
introduced custom which lasted until
1909 with all the succeeding classes
This custom was that of smoking on
commencement day pipe. which was
kept at the college for this purpose and
on this eventful day in the lives of the
graduates they all took smoke from the
pipe whether they had ever smoked be-
fore or not. The so-called pipe of peace
was an immense pipe with a stem two
feet long and bowl with human face
engraved upon il in the front, while
around the sides were found many other
profiles.
This wonderful pipe remained at the
college for forty-odd years and was
smoked by every man who graduated
during that time, but in 1908 it mys-
teriously disappeared. and was not heard
from until the past week, when it was re-
turned to the college. With the dsap-
pearance of the pipe the custom disap-
peared, and thus the classes since 1909
have not had the privilege of smoking a
pipe of peace.
Now however. that the pipe is safely
back at the college. and is being watched
over by DIR. Hall at the library. 1t is very
proba BILE that the old custom will again
be taken up and that the class of 1909
will on commencement day of this year,
be seen putting away at this raluakle old
relic.

UNPOPULAR PRocLAMATIoNs.
In China No One obeys Them and
They Are Not Enforced.

From the Shanghai Mercury.
A proclamation issued by the viceroy of
the province that all opium dens in Wan
shein must close has gone unheeded. as
most things appear to do in China when
it does not suit the populace.
Wanshien is city of 10000 inhabitants
and is surrounded by poppy fields, nine
tenths Of the community indulging In
the drug, while the city itself contains
innumerable shops for retailing it.
When the appointed time came for clos
ing up all the shops did themselves
proud" Bright new lanterns cleaned
from the portals. while clean curtains
decorated the interior and trade was as
brisk as ever. In other words. the opium
venders We're saving face a peculiar
characteristic of the Chinese. and not
even policeman, If there is such a thing
in Wanshien, enforced the order.
Opium smoking continues at Wanshien
in the same old way and the crop to be
reaped this year is a third bigger than
last. What can a viceroy do when the
people, to a man, won't listen. especial
ly when the people know that the proc
lamation may be only matter Of form:

need TO be. Nobody could live an hour
in these bustling. overthronged streets If
he had not the knack of handling the rib
