NILS 1T will re-enter the United States
at an altitude of 125 feet and go north
along the east side of Imperial valley
some distance above sea level AS most
OF the Imperial and Coachella valleys

areas which are higher than present
canal systems can thus be Irrigated II
Is figured that the canal will reach the
Coachella country just about at sea
level.
1t is expected to finish the survey he

will furnish data which will show the
cost of reclaiming the land.

The Minot city jail has been crowd
ed to the very doors this week, and
for the first time, there seems to be
a crying need for more room. There
are but four small cells in the jail,
enough under ordinary Circumstance
es. but with a rush of business, they
are entirely too few in number
There are no separate wards for the
menand the women, and naturally
there can be no privacy. 1t might not
be out of the way to suggest that
a separate ward be arranged for
women. This, we believe, can be
done, with little extra expense. AS
it has been this week, there was
room in the cells, only for the women,
and it was necessary to herd tho men
in the corridors most of the time.

sale of his property under mort
gage foreclosure and as result found
himself up against criminal prosecu-
ton. -".

and refused to move it back and de-
clared that it belonged to him. The
owner went to Medina, swore out a

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
TO LIoUIDATE BIG DEBT

NEW YORK, July 2.-The Congrega-
tionalists of the United States have
just announced the raising Of more
than $300,060 of a fund OF 100000 to
liquidate the Indebtedness of the
American board of foreign missions,
the home missionary and the American
missionary, the latter working among
the Indians, negroes and other classes
in this country.
This practically assures the success
of the gigantic undertaking. Soon aft
er the first of the year, when 1t was
learned that these three church or
ganization owed about $2S0,000. 1t was
decided to raise a half million dollars
to pay off this debt and create an in
come-bearing fund.
Prominent men took up the matter,
and meetings have been held In more
than 100 cities in the United States.
In seeking subscriptions it was stipu-
lated that none should become due un-
til a total of at least $300,000 had been
pledged, and the amount had to be
subscribed by July /, or the undertake
ing would be abandoned.
When the time limit expired the sub
scrlptions were counted up at head
quarters of the Congregationalists, and
the announcement is made that they
total between $4,000 and $315,0 900. This
money will now be collected and the
committee will continue to seek sub
scriptions, until the total of 100000 has
been raised.
