irrigation.

From the Chicago Tribune.-The
main idea Of irrigation is to make arid
lands fertile. The attendant result has
far greater interest to the United
States. For the cherished thought of
q nation of home owners is getting
steady encouragement wherever this
work is being pushed. The word irri-
cation is full of meaning to the people
OF certain OF the western states. Its
story is told in stages. There is hope
fulness as the project is presented.
There is development as its effects be-
gin to appear. There is assured pros
perity as the desert blossoms as the
rose. And the desert is poisoning,
not for owners Of vast areas but for
hundreds and thousands Of individu.
ais who are carefully cultivating com.
paratively small farms with most sat
isfactory results.

A Sailor.
A RECORD PASSAGE MADE

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 14.-Despite the
fact that Uncle Sam considers the pres
ent maneuvers of the big Atlantic
feet the most important of any ever
attempted before by American war
ship, the battleship Virginia yesterday
made a record run to Hampton Roads
with Pay Clerk Frederick Sherberger
who is suffering from appendicitis.
Sherberger's condition was such that
he needed immediate attention that
could not be given on a warship.
He was transferred to the tender
Yankton and brought to the naval hos
pital in this city for treatment.
All during the day the battleship
fleet. 10 miles at sea, has been in
constant communication with this sta
ton and washington, advising the
navy department of important achieve
ments in accomplishing certain diff
cult sea-tests in rough weather and
the records made in the rough-water
shooting.
| The real target tests, however, are
| to come next week when the American
| gunners will be called on to hit a tar
get supported between two tiny tor.
pedo boats.
The tests will occur under the rough
est conditions possible, and should the
gunners do even a third as we'll as
they do under more favorable circum
stances it will establish a new RECORD
for the American navy and probably
cause other nations to sit up and take
notice.

WRECK STORY FALSE

TRAIN.
Detectives Believe That Bar ON Track
of Western Was Not Placed
With Criminal
Intent.

A report recently published. stating
that an attempt was made to wreck a
train of the Western Of Alabama Rail-
road Saturday night was yesterday de-
c1ared to be without foundation by Of
ficials Of that road
Mr.. Yarbrough of the detective force
of the Western of Alabama. said that
the bar found on the track near Cuba
hatchie Creek, one mile west OF Shor-
ter Station. last Saturday night was
but an inch in diameter, and not over
eighteen inches in length and could not
possibly have wrecked the train.
Mr.. Yarbrough says that the vibra-
tions OF an on-coming train would GER
tainly have caused the rod, which was
round, to roll from the rails. 1t is sup
posed that 1t was placed on the track
by mischievous boys. At another time
within the last month several bolts
were found on the rails near this same
place but no Importance was attached
to the occurrence.
