tomorrow. Perhaps not the day
after. Nor for several days.
"But there are plenty of things
we can do in the meantime, things
that will help prepare us for cit
izenship, that will help make us
worthy Of citizenship, and-more
important-make the men realize
that we are worthy"
Get to work. Get to work on
civic problems, this is Miss Mills
idea. There are lot of things that
are in women's special sphere, she
says:
Among such she mentions:
BET1 Err regulations for health,
especially for children and con-
sumptives.
Inspection of schools and bet
ter sanitary arrangements there.
Crusade on the smoke evil.
Crusade against the billboard
monstrosities.
Agitation for more parks and
better ones.
Improvement Of city's milk
supply.
Improvement of city's water
supply.
Extending educational work as
in free text books, kindergartens,
inspection of text books.
Work toward betterment of liv-
ing conditions I'm tenement Sec
ion. :
Pure food regulations.
Work in connection with juve-
nile courts.
Vacation schools and school
Fairgrounds.
What are all these things but
housekeeping and houseclean-
ing2" Miss Mills asks. "They
mean doing the things for the city
that each woman does for that
smaller city--her home.
"Adn there are only two men
in history who were any good at
housekeeping" Miss Mills went
on with a laugh. Zone was Her
cules, who cleaned the Augean
stables, and Col. Geo. e. Waring,
who built up the white wings in
New York.
"And Hercules shouldn't count,
because he was demi-god. And
Col. Waring had the help and ad-
vice of his wife.
"A lot of work that the cities
do for people are things that
women formerly did at home. The
city supplies water. light and sew
erage. This only takes the place
of the old well, the tallow candle
and the garbage barrel.
THE city 10 too kind to its
women when It takes all this off
their hands and doesn't allow
them any part in managing it."
Miss Mills Is sufrfaget, all
right--and out and outer. hSe is
state vice president for New York
of the Woman's Suffrage associa-
ton. She was one Of the leaders
Of the delegation that stormed the
Albany state house last winter.

NORTHERN PACIFIC IS
STUNc FOR 100000

The order is made after thor
ough investigation for two years,
covering all phases of railroad
cost and operation. The commits
sion found that the state earnings
of the N. P. were III per cent
of the entire value of its property
in 1905, 1917 in 1906, 1917 in
1907. 1852 in 1908 and 1851 in
1909. These earnings, the COM
mission declares, are manifestly
exorbitant and it believes wheat
is a good place to start cut.
The cut is operative at once on
all n. P. lines in this state except
the Washington Central branch.

it will cause the current to cut the
bank on the other side. Whereas
II this money had been spent In
constructing reservoir dams and
the water utilized for irrigation pur

irrigation that we residents of

In a year Ike We + experiencing

finest I ever saw. There is a field
of corn on Ute Greek, seven miles
northwest of Logan and near my
claim, that is seven feet high, all
tasseled out and of excellent color.
How is that for "dry farming?" /
received a query OF a party who
wished to know if "dry farming"
meant to raise crops without rain

Escaped the Floods

Logan, New Mexico.
July 10, 1903.
Editor Marshall Republican,
1t was with regret that I read
today in the issue OF the 10th, the
flood losses in Saline. This is GER
tainly hard luck and my sympa-
thy goes to the sufferers, and l
hope no such flood will occur for
years to come.
/ have made the acquaintance OF
Prof. Stewart, U. 8. photographer,
of our territory. 1t was he who
informed me last April that the
Weather Bureau was anticipating
a flood for the Missouri bottoms.
/ at the time did not place much
weight in this prediction, but i
seems now that those scientists do
know something about it. Prof.
Stewart also predicts that floods
will be more frequent in the future,
basing his claim on the undeniable
fact, that the great forests are dis
appearing and nothing remains to
arrest or to retard the rapid she'd
ding OF water into the streams
when rapid thaws OF snow or heavy
rainfalls occur. l asked him if
there vel any method werehby
this abuse could be corrected. He
stated there were two plans sug-
gested. One "a to replace the
forests in a large measure by re-
planting, although it would re-
quire many years to accomplish
this, yet it would provide timber in
the future when natural timberland
is exhausted. The other plan
would be to construct great dams
at the head OF the rivers in the
mountains and hold back the snow
water in order to keep the rivers
at a low stage during the rain
Hood period, as it is then when the
rivers are taxed to their utmost
capacityI The resivoirs at the
head OF the rivers could be so com
structed that the water could be
utilized in irrigatng vast areas Of
arid or semi-arid land. Both plans
would work a two-fold purpose.
Some such resivoirs are now being
constructed and millions OF acres
will be irrigated with the water
that now ID not only going to waste
but also doing great damage fur
ther down stream. Much Of the
money now spent by the govern
ment IN river repairing IL often

Uncle Sam is giving a home stead
er every possible chance here in
New Mexico. He will let you file
on 800 acres, Except where land
will be irrigated six miles on each
side OF the Canadian River, which
runs through Quay county, being
reserved for irrigation, hence only
16O acres can be filed onJ The
home-steader can live on his claim
for seven years before being COM
PEELED to commute" i. e. secure
a patent to his claim. So long as
a claim holder has no patent, he
need pay no real estate tax. Real
estate tax here is very light. A
poll tax Of SO is levied and can be
paid by working on the roads. The
settler is also permitted to get all
the wood and posts or timber he
uses on his claim, absolutely free,
by merely going and getting it
from such land kept by the gov
eminent for such purpose; but it
is penal offence to sell or barter it
away
The nights here r always cool,
80 sleep is refreshing. We only
had mi hot day so far this sum-
mer. Zero weather seldom ccurs
here, in fact the climate is as near
ideal as a be found anywhere in

burn.
Polmont, Scotland,
June 5, 1909.

OuuC ~ AoVOs
We left st. Louis May 20 on a
Baltimore & Ohio train, and when
daylight came next morning we
zsere crossing the Allegheny noun
tains and down the head waters OF
the Potomac river. Then passed
through Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and on to Jersey City,
where we crossed the North river
= New York. Had u trunks TAX
en- to the warehouse OF the Anchor
Fine and secured room for u
brief stay in New York. Friday
morning we visited the offices of
the Anchor and Hamburg lines,
went UP into the skyscraper and
Aopked down on the roofs of New
York, and visited an aquarium,
where we saw a great variety of
fishes, alligators, crocodiles and
sea lions.
Saturday morning about 10 o'clock
sRe went on board the Anchor line
steamer Furnessia, and the vessel
steamed out into the ocean. We
had dinner about / o'clock and then
almost everyone on board became
sea-sick. The ocean was very
rongh indeed. The stewardess said
it was seldom so rough, especially
ON the west side. By Thursday the
water had become less violent, but
was still quite rough.
On the second Saturday night we
had an entertainment for the bene-
E& of the sailors orphans home.
The songs and r~ecitations were
first-rate. One of the stewards
sang about being "too lazy to live
and too lazy to die-he vas SO lazy
!aa.d it was very funny, The num-
6ers on the program were called
OFF by an Episcopal clergyman from
Florida. He said he didn't know
why the head steward had selected
him for this duty unless he thought
like the boy who had swallowed a
coin. The boys father wanted to
send for a doctor. "No," said the
hoy, "send for the preacher"
ASKED why he made that request,
he replied, "I've heard a preacher
can get money out of most any
body"
This Episcopal Clergyman also
hold a story on the captain. He
said the captain was ones sWim1
ming off the coast of labrador,
when he was attacked by a shark.
Just as the shark was about to nab
him, and it seemed to be all up
with the captain who had been
swimming for dear life, he turned
suddenly, thrust his hand down
the sharks throat, grabbed him by
the tail and pulled him inside out.
When ] heard the story it remind
I'D me of home and some of the
fish stories I've heard Thomas
Abrams tell.
at the conclusion of the enter
xainment the audience sang, "My
Country tits OF Thee" "Auld Lang
$yne,n and "God Save the King"
Miss Nellie Curtius sold programs
for the entertainment at six cents
apiece, and the proceeds with a
collection went to the Sailors or
phanage fund.

table. Sunday the sea was more
quiet, and next day one side OF the
trough was taken off the dining
room table.
On Tuesday morning we came in
sight of the fishing boat off the
coast of Ireland, and sea gulls flew
around by the hundreds. A little
later we sailed along the green
northern coast OF Ireland, which
looked like a picture, and then we
drew in at Neville, where quite a
number of passengers, both second
class and steerage, left the vessel
to go to their homes or stopping
places in Ireland.
Then we turned and headed for
Glasgow. We passed the Giants
Causeway and other points of in
~terest, and arrived at Glasgow
about half past eleven at night.
The tender came out and informed
US that it was too late for the GUS
tom house officers to inspect our
trunks, and this information was
very agreeable to the passengers,
as we did not like to be put ashore
to seek lodgings at midnight. We
remained en- board all night, but
did not get much sleep, for the
derricks and men were busy I'M
loading the ship.
Wednesday morning after break
fast we landed and made our way
to the station where our trunks
had been taken. The custom house
officer came and looked through
them, but did not unstrap Miss
Nellie's. Just then my wife's broth
er came up, and we called a Hender
son cab, which carried us and our
trunks from the custom house to
the railway station, a distance OF
more than a mile, for half crown,
or So cents in our money.Qn New
York they wanted to charge us
$500 for carrying our suitcases a
less distance, but We got along with
out their help.) We took a train
for Polmont, a distance of about
twenty-four miles and reached Mrs.
Learmouth's some time before -.
1t has been cold enough for an
overcoat almost all the time since
we left Carrollton, especially on
shipboard and since we arrived in
Scotland. We were on the ocean
about ten days before We reached
Glasgow, and had travelled about
29O0 miles.

THERE is MONEY IN SHEEP
RAISING.
Make a Start With Grade Ewes and
Pure Bred Ram and Grow Into
the Business Gradually.
q. A. Mclean, in Southern Farm Ga

q. A. Mclean, in Southern Farm Ga
zette)
Messrs. Editors: Not much money
is required to make beginning with
sheep. A man who has not raised
sheep previously should start with
about 100 ewes of native breeding.
Such sheep will cost about so EACH or
perhaps less. No matter how much
a man may desire to make a good
start with pure bred ewes he should
not do so unless he knows the bust
ness. There are many things for him
to learn, and the chances are good
that during the first year he will lose
few ewes from various causes. 1t
is best for him to learn these things
with the cheaper grade Of stock where
the death of a few will not mean
very considerable loss. With such
grade of females there should be plac-
ed the best ram that mans finances
will allow, and he will be the only OK
pensive animal in the flock,
Sheep are inexpensive to feed They
will eat almost every weed that grows
in our feds, along bitches, and in
fence corners. Not only do they clean
these out of the fields, but they so
thoroughly chew and digest their food
that the seeds are destroyed, so that
in a couple of years the sheep have
the field cleaned to stay clean of all
weeds. Sheep are very fond of vetch,
cowpea, and soy bean straw. They
eat it all after it is threshed with great
relish and they are the only kind of
stock that do. They are also very
fond of rape. Thus they can be very
cheaply carried through the winter,
and they thrive all summer in our pas
t1res.
Sheep pay as they go They yield |
a fleece each year that will pay for
their keep and as the quality of the
flock is improved the money obtain
ed from the fleece will more than pay |
all of the expenses Of the flock. Each |
year each eve may produce one or
,wo lambs which cost very little in !
feed yet give a large return, all of |
when is a clear profit.
Sheep production is one, of the cas-
est lines of live stock work to make |
1 beginning in, is one of the pleasant !
est to conduct, one carrying the least |
'isks and yet it insures the greatest
md about the quickest returns. Mis-
issippians will do we'll to- cultivate
