IRRIGATION FIGURES

Spokane. Wash, Nov. li.-Census
Director Durand has advised Arthur
Hooker OF Spokane. secretary of the
Eighteenth National Irrigation con-
gress. that the bureaus agricultural
schedules viii call for the acreage and
yield of the various crops that are
under irrigation and the total irrigated
area in the United States.
However. il has not been authorized
to gu SO far as to take in the enumer-
alton OF the people engaged in and de-
pending upon irrigation for a liyeli-
hood. the capital invested in plants
and the private companies engaged in

increasing public demand for statistics
and other information relative To water
power. and that the bureau expects to
develop data along this line in connec-
ton with its census of manufactures
Officers and members OF the irrigation
congress believe that a compilation of
the data requested would be of i'm

SAYS CATCHING DOGS
IS LIFE WORK
SPOKANE MAN SAYS HE WOULD
TRADE JOBS WITH NO ONE,
NO MATTER WHOM.

Say. If you want life Of excite
ment. one in which you can test your
nerves and sticking qualities, you
ought to become a dogcatcher. That's
where you get your real excitement"
This Is the view OF Harry Hart.
humane society employe. who has
been the active figure in Spokane's
dog crusade. and who has taken up
I,150 dogs on the streets OF this city
since last March. more dogs than have
found their way to the Spokane pound
in any three previous years.
This man, who has worried the dog
owners Of Spokane and has caused
hundreds Of CANNES to learn to like
the life in the woodshed, catches
dogs because he likes the work. He
has held other jobs which most men
would think more conducive to hap
piness than this. but he always has
turned back to this pastfne. for it is
play to him. even though he makes
enemies every day he works.
Il wouldn't trade jobs with any
man In Spokane" he said yesterday.
Il tell you | like to catch dogs. I've
been at it for more fhan four years
off and on, and know the tricks of
the trade. would rather catch dogs
than eat
Il got chcwed up about two years
ago and for while rather lost my
nerve. but ] don't let that bother me
any more.
Then l meet some man who is GO
ing To whip me every day. and II
they were all brought together that
field-pointing to a large corral which
adjoins the humane barns--wouldn I
hold them. ! used tn think these men
meant what they said, but / learned
to know they are mainly buffers.
The women who cry and curse me
when lock their dogs into our wagon
used to touch my feelings. but the
rule with me now is. once in the
wagon the dog has got to go. l would
haul off my own mothers dog If
happened To find him loose, and en-
treaties wouldn't stop me-"
The fame of this man and his as
sistan,. Bill Hawk. who is a necessary
adjunct to this dog catching team.
has spread not only beyond the limits
of Spokane. but beyond the boun-
DIARIES OF the state. and in the last
few months requests for their serv-
ices have come from cities i'm three
different states.
kalispell. Mont, which was overrun
by dogs i'm the early summer. begged
for the services OF these men in Sep
TENDER. after several big, burly dog
catchers had been run from town by
the citizens who didn't approve of the
work. In spite of the threats of
would-be lynchers, these two little
men stayed seven days in the town
and took nearly so dogs each night
and guarded them at the pound the
next day.
At the end of their week the ma
shall begged them to leave to avoid
trouble. and this officer insisted ON
taking them from town secretly. as
he feared a mob of irate citizens
might attempt to block. their, exit by
rail. The little Spokane men say they
had a good time at Kalispeil and are
DESTROYS of returning.
The two dogcatchers last week took
their first vacation since March |. on
the last three days OF October they
captured so dogs. Since that time
they have abandoned the work be-
cause of the disagreeable weather
They probably Will not begin again
until spring.-Spokesman- Review.

Interesting Letter From Norway.
Thorsten Hotter Writes of His Travels in Old Norway
During the Summer.

went to the home of my fathers sister
who lives near the old house where
my father, Jacob E. Hotter, and his
brothers, CLAUS, Martin and Lars
were raised and where they lived un-
til they, as young men, sailed fol
| America to try their luck upon the
frontier of Dakota territory.
The old house still stands as it did
at the time father and my uncles, as
little boys, played in the shadow of its
walls, and as it has stood for at least
POO years.
DR.. Wendt, Judge Forrest and VIM
Tank will remember Herman David
son and his wife and daughter. Mr.
| Davidson died last February, and his
wife, my fathers only living sister,
now lives alone in house little ways
from where she and her husband lived
for thirty years of their married life.
My aunt had never seen me before
ana did not know Of my coming, SC
yOu may know that she was much sur
prised. She has naturally been much
depressed and lonely since the death
OF her husband, and l hope and be-
lieve that the arrival of her nephew
from the distant land of Ame RIGA has
been the means Of cheering her in her
sorrow and loneliness.
OF the lovely climate and beautiful
scenery OF this fair land of Norge,
much has been said and written by
others, and | will confne myself
mostly to narration of events and con-
ditions. During my stay in Norway,
Christiania has been my home, from
there l have made trips here and
there to dilferent places of interest.
After a week in Christiania l had
been to most Of the places of interest,
such as Holmen Kolen, st. Hans
Haugen, Kampen, Bygdo, Akers Hus
Fastening, the different wharves,- the
Museums and Storthing. One of my
first trips was to Drammen, town
about thirty miles west of ChriStiania
and from the heights on the north of
; Drammen, / had splendid view of
the city, Drammen's fjorden and the
rich and beautiful village and valley
of Lier to the east.
My next trip was a steamboat ride
from Christiania to Drobak, a two
hours ride over the picturesque and
field enframed Christiania ford. The
beautiful scenery and the exhilarat-
ting pleasure of steamboat ride over
the mirrory waters of the famous
Christiania fjord has been described
SO many times that any description l
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-10-08

could give would seem tame. | en-
joyed the trip to the utmost as l have
enjoyed all the boat rides it has been
my good fortune to take over the diff
ferent fjords and lakes of this Won
derful land, the masterpiece Of
Natures inimitable art.
My next trip was railway journey
to Skreia Station near M josen, a large
lake which lies between Totem and
Hedemarken. The object of this trip
was pleasure and to meet Mr. Cub
berud and Mr.. Nordlie and his family
and arrange with Them for trip to
the northern part OF Norway. Dur
ing my stay at Totem had a delight
full steamboat ride from Skreia to
Hamar, GOvik and other stations
along the shores of Mjosen. We
sailed all day end returned to Skreia
in the evening. Here also | took my
first stroll over the fields of Norway
walking from Skreia to Hurdalen, a
distance of about 2l miles. In Hur-
dalen | found Mr. Nordlie and family
all well and enjoying themselves Wis
iting relatives and friends. On my
way back to Christiania l visited the
famous old EidSvold building where
in the year 1914 the fundamental laws
were written and signed. The people
of Norway are preparing for a great
celebration of the hundreth anniver-
sary Of Norway's independence five
years hence or in the year 1914.
The trip to the northern part Of
Norway was deferred for a couple of
weeks as Mr.. Nordlie had so many
friends to visit in I1urdalen that he
could not get away before thaC time.
Unfortunately Mr.. Nordlie's children
were not we'll at the time set for the
trip, SO the party was cut down to
only three members, Mr.. Gubberud,
my cousin and myself This piece Of
railway from Christiania to Bergen
two years, in fact short distance Of
it is still under construction, namely
between Honefoss and Gulsvik.
Temporarily the route is from Vike-
sund to Krodern, thence by steam
boat over the beautiful lake or ford
Krodern to GulSvik and then on by
rail through Hallingdal, from where
many of our Grand Valleyites, River
siders and Highlanders have come.
The road winds along up through the
narrow, rugged valley and gradually
we ascend to the snow capped nights
at Finse and Myrdal. Here the scene
assumes a decidedly winter aspect.
The air is cold, the landscape bleak
and barren, the towering field tops
are clad in everlasting snow, in fact
snow is seen on all sides in large
drifts, some of them not far from the
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-10-08

Sept. 7th, 1909.
EDITOR FARMERS LEADER: Upon
my return from a visit to Telemarken
in the southern part Of Norway, |
had the pleasure of receiving seven
long and interesting letters from
Lincoln county and South Dakota.
To reply to these properly they should
be answered separately, but as our
party is to leave for America in a few
days | would not have time to write
to all those who have been so kind as
to write me, except that | write a
letter TO all my friends thru the col
umns Of your paper, if you will kind
ly permit.
| will not say much about our rail
road journey to Montreal, or our trip
across the Atlantic, as it would be
only descriptive account, and l am
a poor hand at description. | will on
ly say that the rain which we started
with from Canton was with us all the
way to Montreal, and the two days we
sailed down the st. Lawrence river,
we had pleasant and interesting
journev, as we could easily, with a
little stretch of imagina tion picture
the scenery as it would have appeared
had the landscape been enveloped in
sunshine instead of misty clouds and
rain. The sun did not have much of
show during our trip across the
at I,,t 1, ;,rl,
seas and when the sun did come out
we enjoyed it all the more.
OF course we all had to submit to a
little dose of seasickness I said all,
but l believe Osmund Hustel, that
genial and hearty born sailor, was
proof against that not altogether plea
ant feeling.
We enjoyed our trip thru England
very much and England seemed to me
like great big city with patches of
farm land scattered here and there as
parks within the CITY, The trip thru
Sweden from Gottenburg enroute to
Christiania was not anticipated, so
this was an added and unexpected
pleasure. Gottenburg is very clean
and pretty city, and in this respect is
somewhat in the lead of Christiania.
Upon our arrival in Christiania our
party broke up and separated, Ole
Nordiie and family going to their rel
atives in Totem and Hurdalen, Mr..
and Mrs. Hustle went to Telemarken,
Mrs. @. B. Strand to her relatives here
in Christiania, Erik Gubberud to
friends in Hadland near Totem, and l

Washington, April 21.-The refusal
last night of Mrs. Mclean to permit
the reading by Mrs. William Cum

When the Daughters assembled to-

The political atmosphere became still

first of which was one on children of

TOO MUCH HARD WORK
Leader of Healing Movement to Try
His Own Remedy.

Boston. Mass, April 21.-The Rev.
DR.. Elwood of Worcester Emmanuel
church and leader of the healing
movement which bears the name of
that church, has broken down from
overwork. The only message that
comes from the sick room is that he
is applying the methods which he has
been advocating from the pulpit to
heal himself. The rector, it is said.
ran too hard against that barrier of
WEAKNESS" beyond which Prof James
of Harvard says Is the second wind"
of energy and mental and physical &C
tivity, if the worn out person can
only get there.
DR.. Elwood did not get over the
barrier" and now his physicians tell
him that he must quit all work for at
least six months. His vestry has given
him leave of absence for that length
of time and as soon as he is able to
travel he will go to some secluded
place and remain until September.
He may accept the invitation of some
friends who are going to the Arctic
Circle or he may take a wagon jour-
ney through northwestern Canada.
