THE souM IN IRRIGATED LANDS

Recently there have been good many
large land buyers who have come to this
valley. They have heard of the great
amount Of irrigation that is projected and
underway in this vicinity, and attracted
by this knowledge, they have come quiet
ly, and in many cases have either pur-
chased or taken options upon large tracts
of land. Their purpose is to induce set
Element here, and they will do SO Incl
dentally, reapine large profits for them
selves. =
This is the advance guard of the buy
ers who will be attracted to the Arkan-
sas valley with the next year or SO. The
valley should have procured this atten-
ton long before, but only recently, with
the undertaking of great irrigation works
has it come.
1t spells prosperity. 1t means that
great things are in store fer Pueblo and
the country contiguous to it, There is
no doubt whatever that, once this valley
is irrigated to the greatest extent possible
with the water available, it will be one
of the foremost agricultural sections of
the country and one Of the most pros
porous. Everything that makes for pros
perity of this character is already here,
and it has only awaited development.
and therefore the Arkansas valley is
coming into its own.
But we must not neglect our opportupi-
ties. The chances are here for those
resident in this part of the country just
the same as for those at a distance.
We have land for which we have assured
water, we have the opportunity of sell
ling this at good prices or cultivating it
und obtaining large returns from it.
If we have money that is lying idle or
that is not earning to its fullest capacity,
we have the same opportunity as that of
the man from distance who comes here
in search of profit. 1t should not be said
own advantages, but that strangers had
the perspicuity to come in and obtain ali
the profits that are to be made.
The Arkansas valley is in the throes
of the greatest development Of its history.
Few of us actually realize what wonder
ful things may be expected Of tomorrow.
We know in a general way that real
estate, especially irrigable land, is active.
We know that great sums of money are
being spent in irrigation works in this
neishborhood. But we nevertheless fail
to grasp the full significance of the move
ment.
Fortune awaits the man who is able to
take advantage of it, and we in the Ar.
kansas valley have better chance than
others, for we are on the ground. Star.

Acupuncture in Chinese Surgery.

"elect' points Of puncture: and these are
found to be numerous and by no means
far between. The operation of acupunc-
ture appears to have been for untold
ages the great surgical procedure of the
Chinese empire and its population. It
has been employed with equal confidence
and promptitude in the treatment OF
fracture and Of constipation, Of ophthal-
mia and of cholera! Up to very recent
times there stood in the Imperial Col

holes corresponding to the respective
positions of the favored points Of pune

At his qualifying surgical examination
the candidate was placed before this

to pass his needle through the paper into
the holes prescribed for the treatment of
any disease named by the examiner. Ac-

THE HARASSED MANDARIN.
Chinese Officials Pestered by the
Government.

From the North China News.
To the Chinese officials Of today 1.-THE
good old times" Is phrase full Of the
pith of truth. Fifty years ago they
dreamed idly enough in their rickety
yamens, enjoying plenteous sources Of
income-legal and otherwise-and bask-
ing in imperial favor.
Then the mandarin could, and there
fore did, command a wife. or an addi-
tional wife, when the whim suggested
new plaything, and no one judged the
act to be either barbarous or debatable.
His cheldren were fed and trained by
their respective mothers, and only
brought to him to be caressed.
His room in the ramshackle yamen-
he had seen nothing better, and SO was
content-was his own, and therein, as a
demi-god, he could command the ODE
dience Of the subservient crowds, who
cringed at his .beck; delight himself with
the writings of the ancients, either of
poetry or prose. and amuse himself by
composing couplets and epigrams, which
at the next convivial party, he produced
them impromptu.
But those blessed days of unbroken
repose and uninterrupted happiness have
gone and will never return. Today the
mandarin must erect new barracks Of
bricks, where there is no straw; he must
enroll new regiments Of modern drilled
soldiers and find the money both for
pay and equipment; he must condemn
as barbarous the old prisons in which
the unfortunate Chinese were huddled
together and bound hand and foot with
letters until they were carried to the
execution ground to be silenced forever.
The new age cries out for prisons that
are more commodious than the average
Chinese dwelling house and better ven
tilated than a superior class Of Chinese
mansion. But the mandarin must find
the funds with which these new buildings
are erected, however superfiuous he
may deem them. For him no imperial
parliament votes a development fund to
assist. in his task. Indeed. the central
government today is a source of uncon-
scionable annoyance, and the worries
which it's kilograms entail are almost past
endurance.
Another real worry, indeed danger,
that threatens almost every official in
the present temper of the people, is the
possibility of some sudden ebullition OF
rage. paternal government worries
him; the local consul may pursue him;
the self-governing society criticises him
numerically; the free press vilifies him.
His life has lost the dolce far niente
glamour of early traditions. Little WON
der, therefore. that there are frequent
reports of mandarins wishing to resign
their incumbencies and among the more
persistent of these are several viceroys
as well as others of humber rank.

The I'll Luck of King Manuel.

the monarch closed the doors of Palace
Tribulation and established the seat OF
government at Palace Bolen.
AS IL in proof Of the contention of the
superstitious subjects there then followed
season of wonderful prosperity for the
Portuguese which obtained throughout
King Louis reign.
Carlos assembled the throne in 1885, fol-
lowing the death of King Louis. Carlos
laughed at the superstitions connected
with the palace and announced in the
face of great objection from his minis
teriai advisers that he intended to take
UP his abode there.
There King Carlos was murdered and
his eldest son also slain by foes Of the
government.
Since the day Manuel ascended TO tho
throne he and his mother occupied Ne
cessidades Palace. alike Indifferent to the
superstitious tales of the people.
Tribulation Palace was Manuers hoo
doc, Just as it was the hoodoo OF his
fathers. His brief two years OF reign
were spent inside it's walls.
Discomfort and dissatisfaction were
present throughout the young kings
reign.
When Manuel was leaving Ericiera for
Gibraltar. a worn and tired fugitive from
the wrath of his people, he is said TO
have spoken of the hoodoo to faithful
retainers. who left the country with him.
Portugal will never be the nation It
hopes while Necessidades remains" he Is
said to have prophesied. All OF his mis-
fortunes the young ruler is now said to
attribute to the baleful influence OF the
hoodoo Of Palace Tribulation.
Though Queen Amelie was for so many
years an occupant. of the palace, Il IL
against the dictates OF her better judg-
ment Although not Of a superstitious
temperament, the queen could not help
but see that many of the misfortunes OF
the house Of Braganza had taken place
while the family were occupants Of the
beautiful pile.
1t was during Queen Amelie's occupancy
of the palace that Lisbon was subjected
to a visitation Of the cholera. during
which her right-hand man. Dr. Camara
Pestana, court physician, succumbed to
the disease.

Place de Greve.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
France has no need to borrow the
word strike" from us, as Germany has
done. Her own word "greve'' is simple
enough, and has even more history
packed away in 1t than boycott" For
"greve" originally meant a beach or
strand. Thence the Place de Greve, in
Paris, took its name. And although the
Seine no longer washes the edge of
that open space, and the name Of the
place has been changed to Place de
PHotel de Vile it's memory survives
for the etymolosist, if not for the
striker. in the modern word for labor
strike. The Place de Greve was the
favorite place of assembly for workmen
out of work. even on holidays. And SO
"faire greve'' came to mean strike. 1t
is just as If our Strand had been the reg
ular place to find the out-of-work in.
We might have been calling a strike
a strand" today.

later became married and in a PLOT of
ground purchased for the purpose he
caused to be erected church which in
cluded tiny abbey for the image. This
abbey was named in memory of the SUI
ferings of the country at the time of its
finding "Our Lady of Tribulation."
"Our Lady Of Tribulation" sprang at
once into the greatest popularity with the
humble sailor folk and fishermen of LIS
bon. They adopted Mesa Senhora das
Necessidades as their patron saint. The
church that had been built in her honor
became a point of pilgrimage and the
little shrine in which the statue had been
stationed a place of utmost sacredness.
King Joa v was the first to officially
recognize the generation in which the
people laid the statue. He caused the
church to be transformed into a beauti-
full basilica, and built on the site adJoin-
ing it a palace bearing the same name.
This he did in order that his queen might
be at easy access to the shrine of Our
Lady of Tribulation. This palace was the
very one from which King Manuel and
his mother and grandmother have SO re-
Gently been OuSted.
MANY mysterious and uncanny deaths
have taken place within the walls of
Tribulation Palace. Queen Stephanie.
Pedro v and his brothers. Ferdinand and
John. all died there within few weeks
of one another of cholera.
Louis assembled the throne in 1861. fol-
lowing the death Of Don Pedro. At once
a delegation, headed by the lord mayor
of Lisbon, waited on the ruler and be-
sought him earnestly to move from the
ill-luck-pursued palace. The principal
municipal authorities. followed by a vast
concourse Of people aroused by sdPersti-
tious fears, followed the example of the
mayor a few days later. and Joined their
petition to that Of the chief town execu-
tive. King Louis was besought to leave
the palace without delay because of its
very apparent sinister influence on the
Braganza family.
King Louis hesitated. He did not rel
ish the idea of giving up the home Of SC
many Of his royal ancestors. He was,
however. finally prevailed upon, and. es-
corted by a brilliant torch-lit procession

This is q new method of disinfecting

very satisfactorily. The books are drop

upon royal palaces abroad, and
as result, it has many times
been claimed dire misfortune
has visited the royal families that have
been their occupants. The recent political
upheaval in Portugal which has caused
young King Manuel and his sorrowing
mother to flee from the land ruled by
their forbears for centuries draws atten-
ton just now to one of the most remark
able of the hoodoo palaces of the world,
the palace of the Necessidades, which in
plain English means the palace Of Tribu-

So firmly do the Portuguese believe that
the omen of ill luck is attached to the
former royal palace that it's history is

The story goes that the mysterious hoo
doc first started to weave it's spell in
the year 1903. At that time a fearful
plague ravaged the country in the neigh

of thousands of poor peasants fell VIC
