IRRIGATION OF OLD MEXICO
Primitive Methods Of Lifting Water
from Wells Still Employed IN
Sections Of Country.

Mexico City.-The policy recently
adopted by the Mexican government
of lending financial aid to irrigation
enterprises is having the effect OF
strongly stimulating land reclamation
work in different parts of the coun'
try. An irrigation subsidy law was
passed by the Mexican congress near
ly a year ago and an appropriation OF
$75,OOO,O00 made to pay as bonuses to
persons who put lands under irriga-
ton. AS a means of still further en-
couraging this development of the
natural resources of the republic an

agricultural bank was created through
which loans may be made on the most
reasonable terms to individuals and
concerns for the purpose Of construct
ing irrigation works.
In order that promoters of irriga-
ton enterprises may obtain the bene-
at of the subsidy law they must OPP
crate under q government concession.
Since the new law went into effect
there has been food of applications
for concessions for the establishment
of irrigation work In different parts Of
the country. Many of these applica-
tons have been granted and the work
Of carrying out the projects Is in prog.
ress. The fact that the law permits
the government to pay subsidy Of
SIS per acre for such land as may be
reclaimed makes 1t especially attrac.
tive to men who are seeking safe In.
vestment for their capital.
In the plateau region of the more
northern part Of the country and ex-
tending all the way to the United
Staes border, irrigation has been car
ried on, in way, for centuries. There
now are number of large and mod
ern systems of water distributions but
for the most part the work is accom-
plished by natives, who still cling to
the ancient methods of lifting the
water from wells, streams or reser.
voirs by various kinds OF cumbersome
wheels. These primitive implements
are made of wood, roughly hewn and
usually put together with wooden
pegs or tied with fiber. They are OPP
Grated either by man or horse power.
In most cases one or two natives to
each wheel do the water lifting by the
exercise of their legs and arms.

Oklahoma Hermit Correct in Pre-.
dieting Floods.
Railway Builders Stand In Awe OF
Him Because River Wrecks
Bridge Thrice as He Said
Il Would.

| Muskogee, Okla.-Living in hut on
the bank of the Canadian river, near
Forum. his abiding place for 30 years,
is Pierre Davis, a hermit, whose jour-
neyings in all that time have never
carried him outside of a six-mile
radius of his cabin, and then only for
food and skins for clothing.
Davis is six feet tall, finely built
and of commanding presence. His
great hobby, in fact his only hobby, is
to foretell certain events, especially
pertaining to floods. So accurate has
he been that workmen along the Mid
land Valley railroad almost stand in
awe of the queer old man.
Three times last autumn he pre-
dicted that floods would come and
each time deluge arrived. on the
date he named.
While workmen were completing a
new Midland Valley bridge to replace
the one washed away, the old hermit
made his first appearance. For a time
he regarded the bridge workers silent
ly. Then he spoke to the foreman of
the gang.
You see little water In the river
bed now" he said, but in 30 DAYS the
floods will come and the bridge will be
carried away"
Having made his prophecy the old
hermit strobe away and the workmen
laughed at him as II he were crazy.
Exactly 29 days later the flood came.
The following day the Canadian river
swept away the bridge.
The bridge was rebuilt, and when
the workmen had nearly completed 1t
the hermit again appeared. He
prophesied that November 20 there
would be 14-foot rise in the river
and that the bridge would again be
washed away. The 22d of November
the bridge was again washed away.
Four days later while workmen
were rebuilding the bridge the pic
turesque figure appeared again. Sob
EMMY the old hermit prephesied that
the following Sunday the bridge would
again go out. The prophecy proved
true.
Undaunted. the company again put
workmen to rebuilding the bridge,
which was completed December 10.
Before the final repairs were made
Davis made another prophecy. He
said that the first train would not be
run over the bridge until December
Is. This prophecy also proved true.
Although the bridge was completed
December 13 there was a delay in get
ting the first train over, and it was
not until the 18th that traffic was re-
sumed.
On every occasion Davis has fore
told the exact height to which the
river would rise, and his predictions
have been correct.

Restoring Confederate Battle Flags.


A Cincinnati dispatch says the news
from Columbus that Gov. Harmon has
given orders to return to the Confed-
crate veterans in Alabama certain
flags captured by the Fourth Ohio Vol
unteer infantry during the civil war
has led to protests and that the de-
partment commander of the G.. A.
r. will be asked to take action enjoin-
ing the governor. Among old union
soldiers there will be differences Of
opinion as to the merits of the contro-
versy. A great many will side with
Gov. Harmon and hope that the flags
will be returned. The sentiment on
this subject among the great body of
veterans has softened very much since
the first administration of President
Cleveland, when huge uproar was
raised in many parts of the north over
the report that the federal government
was preparing to send back captured
southern battle flags to their original
owners. Another Memorial day is
approaching. The sections that were
severed during the civil strife have
grown together. Eleven years have
passed since sons of the north and
sons OF the south marched side by side
under the starry banner of their re-
united country. to confront foreign
foe. 1t is high time to bury all the lin
gering hatreds Of the past-and a
very large proportion of the men who
did the actual fighting In the civil war
have done so.-Exchange

the development of the iron and steel
business in Mexico. where there Is an
abundance of raw materials. Mexico
will need an increasing amount of
iron and steel, as she is developing
rapidly both in population and bust

products with South America is devel-

Mexican scheme should dictate re-

Spouse; not an unnecessary word IL
used. You say good-day. Mr.. Wick
ersham smiles broadly again, grasps
your hand, whirls, and dashes back to
his desk.
Nobody could tell whether Mr..
Bonaparte was joking or serious when
he talked. He had a fashion of tell
ing the most solemn, portentous
things with his face screwed into a
comical. droil grin which gave the i'm
preston that he was INDUCING in a
little foolery.
Nobody win make this mistake
about George w. Wickersham. When
he announces that the government is
to sue the whisky trust or the sugar
trust. everybody who hears him will
know that he means It.
When word first came to Washing
ton that Taft had chosen a New York
man named Wickersham to be attor.
ney general 1t created much wonder
ment.
The Roosevelt trust busters shook
their heads obviously the deeper they
dug into Mr.. Wickersham's record. 1t
was found that he had done effective
work for James ]. Hill In some old
railroad suits in the middle west IL
years ago, and that he had been the
master mind In big railroad merger
negotiated by the Mexican govern
ment. More recently Mr.. wickersham
had been associated with New York
corporations and was general counsel
for the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company up to few months ago.
1t seemed as though the new attor.
ney general was a straight-out cor
poration lawyer and when August Bel
mont's publicity agent chaperoned
him on his first trip to Washington
the rsformers and radicals were some
what discouraged.
After brief talk with Mr.. Wick
ersham the doubling Thomases were
somewhat treasured. At any rate
they have suspended judgment and
are willing to believe that the anti
trust laws are to be enforced. Re-
calling the metamorphosis of Philan-
der Chase Knox from trust conserver
to trust buster, the hopeful ones have
plucked up courage in Mr.. Wicker
sham's case.
II am just trying to get acquainted
with the machinery of my new Office"
said the attorney general when asked
about his policy. at is too early to
be talking about what we expect to
do. We don't propose to be dragooned
into bringing suits. We will bear in
mind that indictments must be tried
in court and decided by the evidence
and the law. The facts in a specific
case and not public clamor will de-
termine our course"
District attorneys have informed
their friends that they were forced
into obtaining indictments in land
fraud cases and other scandals result
ing from undertaking, in many cases
against their wishes and with no idea
that the indictments would hold wa
