The Kitchen In China.

''In China everything seems to us to go by contrary, and the front part of the house is devoted to the Kitchen" says missionary. Upon entering the house at the front door one Is intro duced into the culinary department, and so important an adjunct to a household is theIkitchen that the popu- lation of towns and cities throughout the empire is reckoned by the number of kitchens within the walls. Brick chimneys in China are thing unheard of, and the smoke from the fire Is al- lowed to roll lazily along the ceiling out into the court or through an aper- ture made in the roof. The kitchen fire Is usually built in a mud stove, for any other kind of a stove Is unheard of among. the poor classes. Chicago Chronicle.

head of his department and members OF
senate and house committees are equal
ly without data to answer his argu-
ments, and he makes such a convincing
plea that it looks like downright treas.

This is especially true when it comes
to army and navy expenditures and
those for the various scientific bureaus.
The men employees in these lines are
experts and they have a great mass of

an instructive and entertaining expla-
nation of the scene shown. The rugged
beauty of the Rocky mountains and
the scenic grandeur of the Cascades and

away with the scrambles for lands that
have attended past openings, the grab
bing of land by spectators and the
wasted expense to thousands of
would-be settlers who fail to draw
winning numbers and secure land. Any
native or naturalized citizen who has
not used his or her homestead right
may go before a notary public in any
part of the United States, make aft
davit to this effect and register by mail
with the land office at Washington, and
be given a number to share in the
drawing to be held there. Those whose
numbers are drawn will be notified
that they are entitled to a fling on the
Yuma reservation lands, and must then
go to Yuma to make such, in order to
comply with the land Office regulations.
Homesteads under the reclamation
act carry with them a water right
which must be paid for in ten annual
installments, after filing, its cost be-
ing proportionately relative to the
cost of the irrigation project it is un-
der. The total cost of the water rights
on the Yuma reservation lands will be
approximately $40 an acre. Those fiji
ing on homesteads will be required to
deposit the first years water right in
stallment for each acre filed on, thus
making the initial cost of a Yuma res
e~rvation fling from $50 to 1920, in ad-
dition to the usual land oce fees. Nc
expense attends registration for the
drawing, however, except the n~otarial
fee.

E LAST CHANCE
FOR FREE LAND

Informal announcement has been
made by the officials of the reclamation
service that the Yuma Indian reserva-
ton, across the Colorado river from
Yuma. Arizona, will be thrown open for
settlement about the first of September,
the exact date to be set by the interior
department at Washington. The reser-
walton lands include 1000 acres of
rich Colorado river silt lands. of which
somewhat over $500 acres will be re-
served for the 600 Indians on the res
ervation, who will be allotted five acres
each for cultivation, which the govern
ment will not allow them to dispose of
for twenty-seven years, thus preventing
their footing by gamblers and speculat-
ors. The remaining 1880 acres have
been divided into homesteads ranging
in size from twenty to thirty acres,
about 400 in number, which will be
open to entry by settlers. A portion of
the reservation has been reserved for
the proposed townsite of Powell, lots
in which will be placed on sale at the
time the reservation is opened.
According to the announcement
made, the method of opening the Yuma
reservation and awarding the home
steads will be different from any reser-
walton opening yet conducted by the in
terror department. he lottery draw
ing, which has become a chief feature
of openings in late years will accom-
pany this homestead filing, but will be
conducted by the United States land of
fee at Washington, ID. g., instead of
on the land to be thrown open. Appar
emily the government desires to do
