Carroll Sentinel: Denison is hav-
ing trouble over its water supply just
as Carroll had in the past and which
we think we have succeeded in solv-
ing. The Denison people are putting
in a deep we'll estimated at depth of
1900 feet and to cost approximately
81, 600. The trouble with the deep
we'll problem is the quality of water
secured. Dunlap and Woudbne both
have such wells and the water is
scarcely suitable for domestic use.
The city is now supplied with water
from shallow wells but these are in
sufficient to meet the demands.

THEIR SECOND ANNIVERSARY
Editor Of Eron News Expresses His Thoughts
on Ones Duties in Life.

Editor and wife started their third
matrimonial year last SATURDAY.. As
We editor sat in his sanctum pushing
the quill, we thought of life and its
opportunities. Life ia a gift of in
estimable value, and fraught with
interest which in their effect are as
lasting as eternity. Life is given US
for grand purpose. the improvement
Of ourselves. and helping to better the
condition of our fellow men. How
important it is that we make prop
or use of our time and talents.
Work and progress are the order of
creation. Among the busy toilers in
life's harvest fields there is no place
for oilers: neither should we spend
all our time digging in the earth aft
er the perishable riches of this world.
Man was formed for nobler pur-
pose. He lives for eternity where
silver will not be needed, where gold
will be of no value. Life is far too
short and uncertain, the future one
too near and real. that we should risk
all on the one pursuit for earthly
treasure. Opportunities for useful
ness are many. Along every pathway
in life are weary. toil-worn pilgrims,
longing for a cheering word. for
helping hand. Shall our lives be one
of passiveness when the present calls
so loudly for action? Can we fold
our hands in idleness, murmuring
that here is nothing for US to do?.
Can we deny light and help to those
who are adrift on LIES stormy sea-
They who have the brightest light
should hold it up the highest. that its
rays may flash out the highest, in the
surrounding darkness. If life and its
manv opportunities have been we'll
improved. how grand will be the re-
Election when we come to stand on the
farther shore of life. and look back
ward. to know that our great object
in life was to help our fellow men up
to fairer land.

Talking in Large Isieures.

In recent years the idea has been
familiarized that the United States
is billion-dollar country. Within
a few days conventions have been
held in Washington that necessarily
discussed questions on this scale, for
the subjects in hand relate to water
ways, the conservation of natural re-
sources and the development of
southern commerce and Industry.
These are matters touching the pro-
duction of the American people and
the possibilities of their great do
main, which for the most part, is in
the opening stage Of its utilities. The
spirit of the people in taking hold
of vast improvements could have no
better example than that at Panama,
where this country is putting quar-
ter of a billion into short cut for
the ships of the world, with a saw
ing of thousands of miles of travel to
all races concerned in ocean traffic,
and this embraces practically the
entire population Of the earth. Am
orleans are getting their hands in
at Panama. With such start and
valuable experience, internal Inn
provements on suitable general
plan are sure to follow.
A notable beginning has been
made in Illinois. The City Of Chi
cago, at its own cost, has completed
piece of ship canal. At the recent
election the voters Of Illinois approy-
ed the issue of $20,OOO,O00 state
bonds to extend the ship canal to the
mead of navigation on the Illinois
river. Thus the first 100 miles on
the akes-to-the-gulf channel for
ships will be constructed by the State
of Illinois and its chief city, without
calling on national treasury for
cent. But much more than inland
navigation for seagoing vessels is
proposed, as Governor Deneen has
Just pointed out at one of the Wash
ington conventions. He explained
how the strip Of ship canal to be
built by the state would furnish wa
ter power worth $2,5O0,0OO year.
net revenue from this source. Be-
yond the requirement of ship canal
and water power is the work of re-
claiming 5000 square miles now UNI
der water in Illinois, but easily worth
$100,000,000, when drained, for

find the president and Mrs. Roose-
welt and the children fully prepared
for the happy morrow. There will
be no Christmas tree, unless one of
the Roosevelt youngsters should
succeed in smuggling one in, as
Archie did two or three years ago.
For weeks the most elaborate at
tention has been paid to all the de-
tails for happy holiday. and be-
fore the president and Mrs. Roose-
welt pillow their heads to sleep the
large library on the second floor wild
be converted into beautiful treas
ure shop.
For weeks Mrs. Roosevelt has de-
voted herself to preparing for
Christmas, not only for her own
children, but for dozens of others.
The barrels of candy sent to the
Cove school at Oyster Bay and Il
present for each school child repre-
SCENTS much care and thought on Ter
part. Every day she has gone to
the toy departments in various
stores and carefully selected gifts.
The servants at Oyster Bay as we'll
as those at the white house and old
people, and poor people in various
parts OF the country have come in
for a part of her time as we'll as
her money.
1t is the custom of the president
to give to each of his children a
sufficient amount of money to buy
their own gifts. This year the list
has materially grown from that first
sad year of the president in the
white house, after MIR. McKinley's
death, when everybody felt afraid
really to enjoy life. Then there
were just young Phil Knox, the Cor
telyou children in the executive
family, with young Sheffield Cowes
to buy for. This year it takes sew
eral sheets of paper for just the
cabinet family and others.

ply, his estimate is one thousand
flowing wells east of the Missouri,
and siNty-five west of the stream.
The flow of the wells west of the
river is placed at 127,512,S0O gal
Ions per day of twenty-four hours,
with the flow from the wells east of
the river, immense, but unknown,
most of which is being allowed to
go to waste, so far as any saving Of
the water for the benefit Of the soil
is concerned. He asks for legisla-
ton regulating the use of the ar
tesian waters of the state.
Other portions of the report bear
upon the resources of the state in
the way of metals and quarries, es-
pecially in the Black Hills section,
which if properly developed would
be source of great wealth, while
at present but little is being done
outsids of the gold mining.
The commission will probably pre-
pare and have introduced in the
coming legislature session, bills COW
ering some of the principal points
covered in the report which they
have made, and will attempt to put
some of their recommendations into
practical working effect.

the dozens Of debutantes who will
surround her.
Since she left the Cathedral
school, year ago, Miss Roosevelt
has been under private teachers in
the white house. She is more than
ordinarily familiar with good litera-
ture, is a pleasing performer on the
piano and sketches in crayon and
water color with dainty effect
Miss Roosevelt has already met a
large contingent of the younger So
cial set which will surround her at
her presentation this winter, and IN
company with her cousin, she at
tended several of the dances given
for the non-debutante set in New
York city; and she was one of the
admired at the debutantes' dance
given at Tuxedo by her host and
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Alex
ander, few weeks ago.
Miss Roosevelt is more like the
president than most of his children
are. She loves to ride, and, clad in
her semi-ftting khaki riding coat,
with divided skirt, russell boots and
a sailor hat, she can keep pace with
the president, even on his most siren
uous horseback excursions. lPresi-
dent Roosevelt favors the divided
skirt for 'cross-country riding for
women, believing it to be safer than
the old-fashioned sweeping skirts.
Mrs. Roosevelt. however, clings to
the latter fashion. ..
Miss Roosevelt is blonde, though
not very light, and has wealth OF
hair. She never runs to extremes
in hairdressing, but wears a soft
pompadour, slightly parted. Her
complexion is pink and white. She
is considerate and kind, and is an
example of the American girl of the
highest type. Every one connected
with the white house has a pleasing
word to say for her.
Aside from little knitting, now
so much in vogue. or bit of plain
sewing, Miss Roosevelt does not use
her leisure hours in making
things" but turns rather to her
piano or her color box for indoor
recreation. She is a communicate
of St. Johns Episcopal church,
which she attends regularly with
her mother.
The coming-out gown is the most
elaborate Miss Roosevelt has ever
had. Up to this winter she has
worn soft silks, made in girlish fash
ion, and hand embroidered muslins,
with now and then one of the beau
siful fabrics which speak for the
exquisite work of the Philippine
women. She has also worn some
pretty frocks in the last summer,
with the drawn work made by Gu
ban women as an embellishments
Miss Roosevelt has usually worn,
when appearing at the theatre with
her mother, some soft silk fabric OF
modest color, with her hair arranged
with ribbon. Her first elaborate
couture will be worn at her debut
ball

NEWS NOTES FROM PIERRE.
Department Of Legislative Reference
Being Freely Used.

Pierre, Dec. 22.-The department
of legislative reference which was
provided for by the last legislative
session, is having plenty of work to
DO at present, as all the members
who know of its existence are draw
ing freely in the preparation of bills
which they expect to present at the
coming session, and some of the in
quiries cover so wide a range of ref
erence, that they require days of
work to properly handle The de-
partment will prove valuable to the
members in the preparation of any
measures which they expect to pre-
sent, and save the members a lot of
work and worry in getting down to
facts in relation to their work.
F. c. Huffman, assistant state en-
gineer. has quit field work for the
winter and has come into the Office
until spring opens. In company with
c. A. Woodwork and o. L. Pickett,
graduates of the engineering depart
ment of the state university, he has
been at work all the past summer
and fall in making photographic sur
veys of Box Elder and Rapid creeks,
and have completed this work. Next
year they will take up the work
north to Moreau and Grand rivers,
which will take them all of next
