POWER CANAL BREAK
 NOT YET EXPLAINED
Damage Repaired, But the Cause Thereof Remains
 Mystery

Mystery still surrounds the break ing of the power canal, ten miles above Roosevelt. which occurred about 1:30 Saturday afternoon The break has been repaired but the cause of the break is unexplained.
 Less than an hour before the break was discovered. a ditch rider had passed over the spot Every thing was all right at that time When he returned the water had broken through the bank and had washed a hole about twenty five feet long.
 As quickly as he could notify the people at the intake the water was turned out of the canal. Roosevelt was notified by telephone and in three or four hours a force of men and teams was on the ground. The work of repairing the break was inn mediately commenced and concluded about two o'clock the next morning. Water was then again turned in at the head but only in small volume. The stream was slowly increased until the newly constructed bank was soaked and able to keep a full head within bounds. As soon as the full head reached Roosevelt the genera tion of power was resumed. This was in just a little less time than the twenty-four hours which the reclamation officials estimated Phoe- nix would be without power from Roosevelt.
 The most tenable theory to account for the break Is that a gopher bored a hole through the bank. It hardly seems reasonable that with this be- ginning the water could wash a twenty five foot hole in an hours time but as the bank Is of sandy soil this is possible.

EDUCATION IN ICELAND

The largest and finest building ir every town Is the school, and Iceland Is doing much in the way of education
 for the present generation In the primary schools the children arc taught reading, writing, arithmetic
 history. natural sciences, geography
 and the Icelandic and Danish Ian
 guages. In the larger schools gym
 nastics, manual training and cooking
 for the girls 'are taught. Only as
 much religious instruction is given as
 is required for confirmation. This
 primary education is obligatory for children from 10 to 14, in all towns and the larger schools have classes Tor younger children. As there are no villages in the interior only farm steads, the instruction for the most part is given there at home by am bulatory teachers, who for s:veral months or weeks, as the case may be, gather around them all the children within q given distance |: is now in cumbent on the clergy to See that all children can read, write and de cle- mentary arithmetic. Public nstruC- ton, given often under great difficult ties, has been as a rule satisfactory Y, and people unable to read are scarce ly to be found in any part of the country. Every year education is improving, and better supcrntendence and higher salaries for the teachers are giving still more favorable results There are middle schools in Akureyri and Isafjord. and in Reykjavik there is higher school where students can get certificates for the special schools and for the University of Copenhagen. These special schools in Iceland are One for navigation, one for technical training and one for commerce. There dre also theological school, medical school and school of law. The three latter will soon be united and with the addition of chairs of phIl )sophy, IcelandiC literature, philology and his tory are to constitute the first lee landic university. Certificates from these schools give the right to hc!d office in Iceland. Many of the stu dents go to the University of Copen- hagen to finish their studies.

OLD SORES DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug- gests diseased blood. The infamma- ton, discharge, discolored flesh, and the fact that local applications have no permanent effect toward healing the ulcer, shows that deep down in the system there is a morbid cause for the sore. But more convincing proof that bad blood is the cause for these places is furnished by the fact that even removing the sore or ulcer by surgical operation does not cure; they always return. Nature will heal any sore If the blood is pure aud healthy, but until the circulation is cleansed of all impure matter and supplied with nourishing and plasmic qualities the infected condition of flesh is OBLIGED to remain. S. s. S. heals Old Sores in perfectly natural way. It goes into the blood, removes the impurities. and morbid matters, adds -fiourishing qualities to this vital fluid, and brings about the very con-

SeC'y kirkpatrick Would
Eliminate Danger Of
DrOuth

Secretary Kirkpatrick Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce would make crop
failure in Oklahoma impossible by in
Producing irrigation to take the place
of rainfall in dry season.
"While drou.h is a rare thing in this
state, there is no reason why we
should ever suffer from it. believe
that water is available for irrigation
purposes and it should be used
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has received letters
from Senator Gore and Congressman
Ferris assuring him that they will
take the matter up with the feedra au-
thorities with view to giving Okla
homa her share of the funds available
for irrigation purposes.
In an article published by the Okla
homan Mr.. Kirkpatrick says:
Il believe chat Oklahoma should
have the benefit of the use Of the funds
derived from the sale of public lands
for irrigation purposes. The Washita
river furnishes greater supply Of
water than any other river in Western
Oklahoma. If the United States gov
ernment would build conservation res
ervoirs atS various points along this
river during tho food stages these
basins could be easily filled and a
bountiful supply of water secured for
irrigation purposes during the dry sea
son. This it seems to me would have
the two-fold effect Of saving great dam
ages by holding in check the flood
stage OF the river and Of furnishing
big supply of water to be used for
irrigation.
The valley Of the Washita contains
perhaps as fertile body Of soil as any.
where in the United tSates and the
United States government would be
doing a great service to the state OF
Oklahoma by the building OF these. con
|servation lakes thereby making 1t i'm
possible for crop failure no matter
how dry the season.
Il sincerely hope that the citizen
ship of Oklahoma will bestir them
selves in securing our due and legiti-
mate share Of money for irrigation
