SAYS OWNING ROD
IS ALL FO0LISHNESS

The United States geological sur
vey has just issued a report by NJ. l..
Fuller. entitled ""Underground Wat
ers for Farm Use" Mr. Fuller enum-
crates the various kinds of rocks and
deposits thar contain and convey un-
derground water, describes the sew
eral types of wells and discusses
measures for the protection of wells
and springs from pollution.
The report, which is issued as
Water-Supply Paper 255, also con-
tains sections on methods of we'll
boring, the use Of cisterns, the di-
vining rod, the advantages and dis +.
advantages of different kinds of
wells, and the location and cost of
wells. 1t covers 5S pages and is il
lustrated by numerous plates and fig
ures.
In speaking of the divining rod j.,
Mr.. Fuller says:
mo appliance, either mechanical
or electrical. has yet been devised
that will detect water in places where
plain common sense will not show It's
presence just as well. The useless
ness of the divining rod is indicated
by the facts that it may be worked
at will by the operator; that he fails
to detect strong water currents in
tunnels and other free courses that
afford no surface indications of wat
er, and that his locations in regions
where water flows in well defined
channels are no more successful than
mere guesses. In fact, it's operators
are successful only in regions where
ground water occurs in definite
sheet in porous material. In such
regions few failures to find water
can occur. for wells can get water
almost anywhere"
The report can be obtained with
out charge by applying the director
of the United States geological sur
vey at Washington.

'F|1z-MAC' DEAD

Fitzjames Mccarthy, identified as
"Fitzmac" with newspaper work and
political life in Denver and the West

political writer in this section of the

which he started in Denver on the

editor, he gradually drifted into poll
tics and while-retaining his connec-
tion in the editorial field he entered
actively into the political life of the
state, not as an office seeker but as
man whose finger was ever on the
pulse of political life and an adviser.
He actively managed the campaign of
Governor Cooper in 1889 and receiv-
ed the credit at that time of placing
the governor in the gubernatorial
chair.
When o. H. Rothacker started
