neer Tells About Meth

d. w. Murphy, an engineer from
the Office of the reclamation service
at Washington, d. c., went up river
from here yesterday morning to in
spect the Okanogan project. Tues
day he spent some time at the COM
mercial club rooms and out in the
valley acquainting himself with the
resources of this section
The reclamation service is al
most wholly plain business propo-
sition," declared the engineer "The
funds used for development work
are furnished by the sale of public
lands. The recent appropriation of
! $40, 100000 by congress was equiva-
lent to loan for the purpose of
completing projects already started.
Payments from settlers are purpose
ly made very easy. AS receipts from
these payments come, the United
States treasury is paid back the

Quincy Project.
What is the prospect of Quincy
ton service?" was asked of Mr. MUIR
ply.
What is its size? What water is
available? What is the probable ex-
pense per acre?''
When advised on these points he
said: The chief obstacle is the ex-
p0nSo per acre. 80 many OCnof pro-
positions are open to the govern
ment in which water can be put on
land at a much lower figure. When
the expense runs nigh, other prob
lens are introduced. We are COM
PEELED to make rigid investigation re-
garding the power of the soil to en-
able the farmer to reimburse the gov
eminent. In that connection it is
necessary to remember that intensive
farming along any one line may be
overdone. For instance, if the
Quincy fiat is especially adapted for
fruit raising, we should want to be
satisfied that setting out that vast
acreage to fruit would not cause an
overproduction. In addition to our
own investigation to determine this
point, we should call upon the agri-
cultural department for advice"

home to escape the dogcatchers of
Montclair, Glen Ridge and Bloom
field, in which places stray dogs get
no quarters. Respectable dogs in the
village are compelled to stay behind
closed doors or join the tramps, to
keep from being killed by the strange
brutes. To save their poultry from de-
struction, owners have had to keep
their chicken coops closed.
The out-of-town dogs got into a
shanty one night near the Erie rail-
road tracks occupied by two Italian
laborers, in the absence of the men,
and cleaned up a weeks supply of
provisions. The men say they will
apply to Sheriff Harrigan, in Newark,
for leave to carry revolvers, as they
fear attack from the animals. The
nonresident dogs don't do a thing to
the Cedar Grove cats but bite their
tails off and nip their legs, and chase
them into trees and under porches.
About a hundred of the stray dogs
howl every night in the village
streets, despite bootjacks, bullets and
many other missiles.

Benton is the name of parish in
Northumberland, and from this, it is
probable that the name was derived.
Bent is an old Saxon word, often used
in early English poetry, and signify
ing a plain, field, moor.
Little Benton, and Long Benton are
towns In Northumberland, where the
records of the Benton family go back
to the twelfth century. In Wiltshire,
Benton Is an old family name. Ben
ton Castle Is a ruin in Pembroke, and
Benton hall place of some note in
Scotland. In the time Of Henry VII,
the Bentons, or some members of the
family, were Knights of st. John of
Jerusalem Benton, Bayntun and Bayn-
ton are variations of the name, and
possibly Boynton is near cousin.
Edward and his nephew, Andrew
Benton, are two patriarchs, whose his
tory is worth looking up. They were
born near London, in Essex, and came
to America in 1888, to Weltiersfield,
Conn, and Andrew went later to Mil
ford, and Edward to Euilford. An
drew is buried at Hartford, where his
tombstone is still standing.
The Bentons of New York state
trace back to Edward, the immigrant
settler, of Guilford, Conn. His son
Joel, born It'll, removed to central
New York, where he was justice of the
peace and member of the legislature.
Calvin Benton introduced merino
sheep into New England. His son
James designed the first wrought iron
sea coast gun carriage made here.
In North Carolina Col. Jesse Ben
ton was private secretary to Gov.
TrSon, the last royal governor.
Thomas Hart Benton, or Col. Ben
ton. was aide-de-camp to Jackson in
the war of 1912. He was western
pioneer, settling in st. Louis. His
speech on finance, celebrated both
here and in Europe, won for him the
sobriquet "Old Bullion"-a title of
which he boosted. He married Eliz-
abeth, daughter of Col. James Mellow
ell of Virginia, and their daughter
married Gen. Fremont, governor OF
Arizona. 1t is told by Col. Benton,
that he never smoked, drank or en-
gagged in any games of chance. This

WASHINGTON.-The spring vaca-

to Washington. They come from
east, north. south and west. They are
personally conducted, as a rule, as in
the case of the Cleveland teachers
here Easter week; and what they
don't see is not worth seeing.
They go to the White House, and If
they are lucky they get glimpse of
the president and possibly a hand
shake. Then they want to see Cannon.
Cannon is on his best behavior on
these occasions. He readily consents
to make little speech, as he did for
the Clevelanders. All you have to do
is to go to his secretary and state your
request.
WELL" says the secretary, you
have them here at so-and-so sharp.
Mr.. Cannon will be here"
Cannon comes out in his best Uncle

and says, "Ah, yes, I'm glad to see
YOU" And he talks in low, confiden-

teachers think that anybody who OPP

SECRETARIES to congressman take
~ really more interest in what the
congressman do than the congressman
themselves. The secretaries carefully
weigh each word and act, to deter
mine what the folks back home are
going to think about it.
One secretary, a dyed-in-the-wool
Republican, had always boosted that
his chief was regular of the regu-
lars. These doggoned Insurgents
would never get that congressman's
vote, you betcherlife. Well, when they
were lining up for Cannon that con-
gresham did vote with the Insur-
gents.
The secretary was plunged into
deepest gloom. He couldn't under
stand 1t. He treated his chief with
marked reserve for several days. He
avoided the secretaries whom he had
made his boast to. But one afternoon
he CHANGED upon a group of them in
the hall of the house Office building.
How about it?" they chirruped
How about it, old sport?"
The unhappy secretary gave them
one naughty look.

GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LookS@To THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mantle
ba. dated March IS, 1910 says: That
Germany is anxious to secure share
of Canadian wheat to supply ner i'm
ports of that cereal." The recent adj
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development
of trade between the two Countries
Is now certain. The great men OF
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With it's present $780,
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase it almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of it's increasing popula-
ton, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will

the Wheatfields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc-
ton of the United States, and but q
twelfth of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit of the demand for Canadi-
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
a great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov
eminent gives away in 160 acre
blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
SIS an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi-.
dent of Minnesota says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels of
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres of
it; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which I had fax of which got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres
in oats and got 70 bushels per acre
and 500 bushels potatoes on one and
three quarter acre, and can therefore
safely say that I had fine crop and
am well satisfied with my homestead"
He is considered but a small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others, hundreds Of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly
greater. The story Of the experience
of American farmers in the Canadian
West is long one. The time to go,
would appear to be now, when splen-
did selections may be made, and
where land can be purchased at prices
that will be doubled in a couple of
yeaSs.

HAS A WILD RACE
WITH ANGRY DOGS
FIFTY FAMISHED CANNES GIVE
CHASE TO MAN IN A
WAGON.
THINKS PURSUERS WOLVES
Throws Bones to the Crying Pack az
His Horse, Dripping With Foam
GaIIop MadIy Toward Home-Farm
Hands Drive Dogs Away.

Cedar Grove, N. IA wild pack Of
famished stray dogs pursued Reuben
Van Wyck along the Pompton Pike
when he was driving home with
wagonload of bones and scrap meat
he had gathered from the butcher
shops in Cedar Grove and Millbrook.
The mad, hungry CANNES scared Van
Wyck and his horses almost into fits
and made him think of all the stories
he ever read about travellers being at
tackled in their sleighs as they made
their way by night through the DESC
late forest regions of northern Ger
many and Russia.
Van Wyck says there were 30 dogs
in the pack. He was driving along,
unconcerned, when he heard great
barking in the road in his rear. Turn
ing around, he saw the dogs pursuing
him at full speed, leaping over one
another in their desperate eagerness
to overtake the wagon piled high with
meat and bones. In minute or two
the foremost dozen of the dogs, their
mouths dripping with foam, reached
the tailboard and jumped up at the
meat.
When he stopped his horses to ply
his whip on the dogs he saw in an in
slant what a mistake he had made.
A dozen Of the CANNES sprang on the
wagon, snarling, and began to fight
over the bones. Other dogs leaped
into the sides and front of the vehicle,
and climbed over Van Wyck, swapping
at him when he raised his whip. In
desperation the man piled the lash
about him with all his strength, at the
same time calling to the horses to
get up and go long. They were rear
ing in fright, and at first refused to
obey.
Van Wyck drove most of the dogs
off the wagon and then he whipped
his team to gallop. The chase was
kept up for mile, Van Wyck yelling
and flashing at the dogs and throwing
bones to them to keep them from
leaping at the wagon. When he got
through the woods and into the
cleared valley, with open fields on
either side of the road, he hollered
for help and attracted the attention Of
several farm hands. They ran out
and with stones and clubs drove the
pack of dogs back of the mountain
side.
Cedar Grove folk believe the stray
dogs have adopted their village as q
