OF irrigating these lands would be
laughed at. Thirty bushels of wheat
and as much corn to the acre is not
unusual-and never a drop of water
except that which falls in the natural
way finds it's way to these lands. The
short grass lands in Nebraska are
worth from $50 to s75 per acre.
Three years ago plans for many of
the great irrigation systems were
made by the government. Two years
ago the work was begun and some
of these are just now being finished.
Others will not be completed until
next yea and even yet for another
year thereafter.
The Belle Fourche system In the
Hills will be finished this year. Here
the government has built a dirt dam
a mile and a half long and more than
100 feet high. The storage capacity
is immense and the system is intend
ed to irrigate something like 1O0, 900
acres of land in the Belle Fourche
valley.
But while the government was plan
ming and building the rain-line swept
westward and last week there was
several inches Of rain in that valley.
The wheat crop is assured and there
is no use for the big dam this wear
The immense amount of water stored
in the big reservoir will not be used
by the farmers in that country this
season, and from the history of other
sections, the system probably will
never be utilized.
Six years ago the "Bonesteel' coun-
try in South Dakota was too dry for
cultivation. Nothing grew there but
grass and that died there as soon
as the summer came on. The land
was opened to settlement FIVE years
ago and was sold out at 81 per acre.
Today, not an acre can be bought for
less than $35 and the prices range
from that to $50 per acre. The rain.
fall permits Of 80 bushels of wheat,
60 bushels of oats and 40 bushels of
corn being raised every acre.

THE TEST.

1t is President Taft, not the senate
that must make good to the people.
The senate made no promises. Presi-
lent Taft must either veto the tariff
bill or prove to the people, face; to
face on the public platforms where
his promises where made, that the
tariff bill he signs must be a substan-
tial revision downward. And this
proof cannot be made by no long
compilation Of confusing figures, by no
devil-and-stump hipprodome of how
the maximum will reduce the differ
entail, and the advalorem will sit on
the minimum's neck. There is but
one test clearly ineligible to the plain
people to whom the promise was
made: Whether Mrs. John Smith,
frugal housewife in Spokane, gets her
sugar next year cheaper; whether
Farmer Williams of Lyon county, Kan
sas, buys his lumber substantially
cheaper; whether the u~nderclothes,
the stockings, the wooden winter suits
and other items that make up ten
million household budgets are next
year substantially cheaper. This and
this alone will make difference when

Helen Frick is Caring for Waits.

From the New York Press
Helen Frick, daughter OF the Pitts
burg millionaire, is putting her sum
mer to better use than dawdling around
Newport or other of the exclusive sum
mer resorts. She is giving her time and
personal attention to the waits of Pitts
burg. A few months ago she took
control OF one Of her fathers farms
near the city. She had a playground
laid out and altered buildings for the
convenience Of the children. Then she
chartered q steamboat and, since the
middle of June, waits have been. taken
down the river to the farm for an out
ing. The most important part. OF the
work, however, Is the system OF yaca-
tions, which gives the children one or
two weeks at the place. Sick children
are kept indefinitely, n all the good
work is personally supervised by Miss
Frick. The young woma is Of medi-
UNI height, with luxuriant auburn hair.
She cares little for society and in Pitts
burg it is believed she will become a

Mosquitoes and Our Puritan Ancestors.

Mosquitoes and Our Puritan Ancestors.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Discontinued settlers at Plymouth In
the year 1923 wrote home divers COM
plants Of the country and OF their COM
panions. These were submitted to the
authorities of the colony for a reply
and Governor William Bradford In his
History of Plymouth Plantation"
thus summarizes the 18th objection and
the answer therefor:
IL OBJ The people are much annoyed
with muskeetoes.
Ans.-They are too delicate and un-
fitted to begtne new plantations and

The mosquito was one of the greatest
terrors of the "adventurers'' who laid
the foundation Of the United States.
His Spanish name proves how widely
he was distributed, his first victims
being the Castilian invaders of South
America. William Bradford and heroes

He shows how, ranking with the inter

Assuan irrigation works in Egypt, and
the projects which are converting west
ern Americas arid wastes into fruitful
fields, the Catskill aqueduct, with its
tributary reservoir, probably surpasses
any one Of them in the variety OF prob
lens to be solved. Rome's longest aque-
duct was 81 miles in length: the Cats
kill aqueduct will be 80 miles long. The
Croton supply can safely furnish $780,

ion gallons daily is promised from the
Catskill source. at an initial cost Of
