IRRIGATION IN SPAIN.

The total surface under irrigation in Spain is now about S,7OO.O00 acres, supplied by 340 miles of canals. There are. however twenty y-nine rivers of importance not utilized for irrigation. The Tago. for instance. passes within nineteen miles of 4.900,0 acres now unproductive on account of lack of water
 Catalonia is the district most active in canal construction. A few years ago the Urgel caral was finished and irrigates a large portion of the prov ince of Lerida. which it has remark ably benefited. IL extends about sixty five miles from the Artesa de SeSre to mile south of Lerida. where il again joins the SeGre river
 Another important irrigation sys- trm now in construction is the series of canals on the right and left banks of the E.bo river, in Tarragona prov ince II includes the construction of seventy-five miles of canals. which will irrigate 72.00O acres. Since the section Of the canal on the right bank of the river was opened the land bOr- derirg thereon has increased tenfold in value. while the value of the crops increased from $72.O00 to nearly sl.- 00O,OOO. San Carlos de Ia Rapita. a port thirteen miles south of TortOsa on the Mediterranean. where ane branch of this canal flows into the sea. has increased in population from 2400 to AZ. The second part of the canal on the left of the river was Op- eIed recently. adding another nine miles to the thirty miles in operation, ali constructed in about eighteen months. involving one and one hali miles of tunnels and the excavation Of I .200.00O cubic yards of earth. In other sections of Spain irrigation is also making some headway. due chiefly to the present minister of pub lie works.

OLD TIME iRooUoiS GOVERN. MEMT.

According to the great immutable law. the IroquOis confederate council consisted of fifty Rodiyaner (civil chiefs). and was divided into three bodies-the older Brothers (the Mo hawks ard the Senecas): the Younger Brothers (the CayuGas and the Onei- das), and the Fire Keepers (the Onon- dagas). Each brotherhood debated a question separately and reported to the Fire Keepers. In case of disagree mcnt in opinion, the Fire Keepers re- ferrel the matter back and ordered a unanimous report. If the two brother hoods still disagreed. and their decis- ion was not in accord with the wishes Of the Fire Keepers. the latter couil only confirm the decision. for absolute unanimity was the law and was re- quired for the passage of any ques- tion. Provisions to speedily break any deadlock were provided. All the work of the council was done without an executive head. save a. temporary speaker appointed by exclamation Adohahoh. in spite of his high title. was only the moderator of the Fire Keepers
 These lords" or civil chiefs, were nominated by certain noble women in whose families the titles were heredi- tary, and the nominations were con firmed by popular councils both of men and women and finally by the confederate council Women thus had great power. for they could not only nominate their rulers but also depose them for incompetency in office. Here. then, we find the right of popular nomination. the right of recall and right of suffrage. all flourishing in the old America of the Red Man and cen turies before it became the clamor oi the new America of the white invader.

FIGHT THE WHITE PLAGUE.
County Will Help Support the Tuber-
cuIosis Camp.

It is probable that the county COM
missioners will this week make an ap-
propriation of $4,000 for the benefit
of the tuberculosis camp, under the
provision of law recently enacted by
the legislature. A "A. GODDARD appeared
before the board today in the interest
of the movement, but no definite ac-
ton will be taken until the new tax
levy is made.
The new law provides that where
$1,000 a year is raised by popular
subscription for the support of the
study and prevention of tuberculosis.
that the county may appropriate $500
month with which to carry on the
work 1t is under this act that the
appropriation is asked.
Recently petitions were circulated
by persons interested in the work and
subscriptions aggregating $1.04S were
secured.
For sometime the board has made a
monthly appropriation of $50 for the
work in this county, but this with the
private donations, has not been suf-
ficient to maintain the work at the
camp near Garfield park.

ERECT HFUSPTTEL
City and County Unite to Build
One.
viii Be on City Ground South
east of Town.
COST TEN THOUSAND.
Only Contagious Diseases VIII
Be Treated.
win Simplify Handling Of
Smallpox Epidemics.

Shawnee county and Topeka city
will at once make preparations for the
erection of a public detention hospital
or pest house near Topeka, construc-
ton and equipment of which will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000. In q resolu-
ton passed this morning. the county
commissioners agreed to pay one-half
of the expense of the new building,
$4,000 being named as the maximum
cost.
Since the recent smallpox epidemic,
there has been a general demand for a
large public pest house that would
accommodate the patients in a siege
such as Topeka has recently expert
enced. The first step was made when
e. b. Stotts, city commissioner, took
the matter up with the city commits
sion and secured promise to bear
one-half of the expense. Then Stotts
went before the county board. To-
gether with c. M. Hensley, county
physician, the county commissioners
were urged to take action. The final
decision was held up a couple Of
weeks pending an opinion from the
county attorneys office. That opinion
was received today and immediate ac-
ton taken.
It will perhaps be a month or six
weeks before the contracts can be let
and all plans for the work fully COM
pleted. The building will be erected
on the site of the present structure.
southeast of Topeka, and will be two
floors above a basement to be used fb-
kitchen and laundry. The wards will
accommodate 40 to so persons and III
an emergency, more patients can be
handled by crowding the rooms.
HAD we owned such building the
last few weeks as We now propose TO
build" said Commissioner Stotts, I'VE
should have avoided many of the diffi-
culties which we have encountered i'll
the smallpox epidemic and could have
cared for the patients more easily and
with greater success
The new building will probably be "a
frame structure No definite plans
have yet been accepted. One set Of
plans offered this morning carried An
estimate of $1,000 without provision
for equipment. other plans will he
asked for and a selection made this
week Bids will also be asked for in
a few days and the contract for the
work will be let early in September.
