ladies pleaded, but the strong hearted
recorder and marshal relented not and
before Jacob was through with the
affair it cost him s14.s0 and when the

up a large sack of gold, paid his fine

saved him many fine.

Walla Walla.-Probably the last
big cattle roundup Of range cattle in
this state has just been completed by
George Drumheller, who is back in
Walla Walla today after having dis
posed Of his herd Of 1000 cattle to
Coffin Brothers, at North Yakima,
for $4,000. Mrs sDrumheller has for
several years owned the only big
herd of cattle in the state of Wash
ington, which he purchased five years
ago from an English lord who had
been grazing them on desert lands.
The roundup occupied about month
and required the services of twelve
men.

"S. Your third inquiry relates to
the fact that in some cases the irri-
gable acreage shown on the farm unit
plats are in excess of the official
acreage Of the tract.
This matter is of considerable
Importance to all concerned, On the
farm unit plats of the klamath pro-
ject there are discrepancies between
the official acreage and the actual
irrigable acreage, amounting in some
cases 10 as much as 1856 acres in a
total of SS acres
In May, 1905, this question was
presented to the department in con-
nection with the Hondo project in
New Mexico where it was shown that
discrepancies of as great as Ill acres
in Gao acres existed in the official
township plats In pursuance of
report and recommendation from
the commissioner of the general land
office, the department on May b.
1905, instructed the reclamation SER
vice to note the actual irrigable acre
age on the plats whenever there was
an excess as great as per cent, and
TO base the charges on the actual
acreage.
"In many cases throughout the va
rious projects excess acreage ranging
as high as 40 per cent has been
found. The result is that an S0-acre
farm unit might contain more than
1000 acres and the owner would use
the quantity of water required for
100 acres. In such cases he should
make the proportionate payment, on
100 acres His crops of course would
be gathered from 100 acres. The
benefit which each water user derives
from the project is in a general way
measured by the irrigable acreage,
and it is only fair and just that he
should pay in proportion to the irri-
gable acreage. Moreover, section 4
of the reclamation act requires that
the charges shall be proportioned
equitably' and actual irrigable acre
age is manifestly the only proper ba-
sis of equitable apportionment, so far
as area is concerned.
Transfers of Irrigated Land.
1T is suggested that there is some
uneasiness among the land owners
relative to future transfer of land ti-
ties on account of the difference in
irrigable acres shown on the farm
unit plats and the irrigable acreage
shown in their patents or deeds. 1t
is difficult to understand how the va
lidity of the title can be affected by
these figures. 1t is recognize that on
account of errors in survey the actual
acreage may differ from the official
acreage. One who received patent
for so acres may without any legal
objection on that account subdivide
or sell off 100 acres from the tract
provided that it contains that amount
of land.
at is a well settled rule that metes
and bounds in the description of lands
will control distances and quantities.
The location of the boundaries of the
tracts in question being definitely
fixed on the ground, The actual area
may properly be considered in a case
of this kind.
"The amount of excess on this ac-
count is considerable and it is to the
interest of every water user that the
charges be apportioned according to
the actual benefit received by EACH
and on other just way of meeting this
condition has been suggested"

Shooting Affair Near Belmont.

On the 10th of Sept. about two
miles east of Belmont, a boy nam
ed Smith, son of Robert S it h,
fired on two women, named Mrs,
Harris and Miss Evans, with a
shotgun, loaded with small shot
at a distance of about 20 yards.
Both the women were struck by
the shot but neither seriously hurt.
The boy who did the shooting left
at once to escape arrest and took
the train at Paden. A warrant
has been issued charging him with
an attempt to kill and murder.
The only cause assigned for the
shooting was the boy claimed the
women had lied on him.
We are indebted to Deputy Sher-
iff Woodley, who was there short
ly after the shooting, for these
details.

From A Paper AS Years Old.

We clip the following from a
copy of the Atlanta Intelligencer
of May IL, 1864. This paper is
sent us by J w McDougal, of
Tishomingo, Miss, who has care :
fully preserved this relic of the
war.
In the Field near Dalton,
May 8, 1864.
Intelligencer:-This morning at
half past 5 O'Clock, the enemy S
skirmishers opened fire and drove
in our skirmishers all along the
line. The skirmishing lasted all
day.
About five O'Clock this evening
the enemy attacked Reynold' S
left and Petus' right, endeavoring
to carry the ridge but were re-
pulsed with heavy loss. They al
so attacked Brown and were re-
pulsed. These three brigades be-
long to Stephens division. They
also attacked Mill creek gap, held
by Stewards division, in very
strong force, and made deter
mined effort to carry it by storm,
but after a long and desperate
struggle, were whipped back with
great loss. Maney's brigade also
whipped back the enemy with Sc
we're loss.
Simultaneous with the attack
on Stephens and Stewart, the en-.
emy made an attack on Hindman S
left and were whipped. The day
closed with our army holding ev-
cry position. and | have no doubl
of our ability to repel every attack
Gen. Johnson was on the fielc
today and his presence greatly
cheered the troops.
The army is enthusiastic, and
confident of victory. The great
battle will no doubt be fought to-
morrow.

cavalry on the Cleveland road to-
day, capturing o. H. LAGRANGE

A SOLUTION OF THE COTTON
QUESTION.
BY MI. P. Roane.

The farmers Of the South produce
four-ffths of the cotton crop of the
world, and four-tifths of that amount
is produced in eight Southern States.
The farmers Of those states ought to
have warehouses sufficient to store
their cotton. Then when cotton is
stored, let each state take over these
warehouses, not by purchase, but by
the consent Of the farmers of each To-
cality, and operate them as state ware
houses, the state to require each farm
er who stores his cotton to pay the
storage and fire insurance with such
companies as the state may require.
Then the state to loan the people who
had stored their cotton in the different
warehouses cotton notes, these notes
to be In denominations Of ones, twos,
fives, tens, twenties, and fifties, to the
amount Of eight cents per pound, these
notes to be non-interest bearing. The
governor Of each state would announce
that the state would accept them (the
cotton notes. for taxes due the state.
The different counties would receive
them for taxes. This would give the
states Of the south good local non
interest bearing currency which would
enable the producers Of cotton to
price their own product to the manu-
facturer, for the farmers would have
currency that is far better than the
state bank money we had before the
Civil War. This is the sub-treasury
plan Of government warehouses car
ried out by the states instead of the
general government. This will not vi
olate any U. S. laws, for the states
have right to endorse railroad bonds,
etc. By endorsing railroad bonds the
state is helping a small part Of it's
population, on the other hand by en-
dorsing the cotton notes it would help
the whole people financially.

In PaduCah HaS Grown,
But Quietly.

A great industry has grown UP 20
quietly in Paducah that the majority
Of the people are unacquainted with
the magnitude Of the operations be-
ing carried on.
The West Kentucky Coal Company
operating the famous Tradewatef
mines, has been perfecting Its plans
for several years and is now to be
considered one Of the great coal
carrying companies on the rivers. II
has successfully demonstrated tne
superior quality Of the Tradewatef
coal in the south and, to meet the
demand in that territory, has IN
stalled aud has in operation a plsnt
for the building Of bArges. TAs
plant employs l5O men, all citizens
Of Paducah; it also maintsiDs q aOatf
ing dry dock employing 30 more
men il also has in operation the
steamers HArth, Mary Anderson.
Harvester, Reaper and Egan. These
beats are maintained at Paducah an0
their crews are composed Of Paducah
men. The stores consumed are pur-
chased here and the repairs are made
by Paducah firms.
At present they disburse weekly
in this city a sum in excess OF
$40, 00O. aud as business is growing
rapidly this amount should be large
ly increased. 1t would seem that the
company should receive the loyal
support Of the citizens Of Paducah'
Paducah is essentially river town
and Its prosperity depends very
largely upon the volume Ot water
borne trade. All the money paid in
river freight is Immediately returned
to the city IN wages to crews, repairs
to old equipment and building new.
This company will reopen its eleva-
tor at the foot OF Ohio street on
Monday next, where freshly mined
coal can be secured at any time and
10 any quantity. 1t is to be hoped
that the citizens will give this COM
paDy the support it so we'll deserves.
