GREAT ANNIVERSARY COMING

Preparations are now going on for what will be, in all probability, one of the grsatest commemora- tive celebrations of modern times. It will mark the one hundreth an- niverSary of peace between the United States and Great Brittan, the two greatest nations in the world.
 The Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war of 1872, was signed on December, 14th, 1814, and rati- fled by the United States Senate on Feb. 17, 1915.
 By the terms of this treaty, a provision was made, that neither the United States nor Great Brit ian should ever maintain large war vessels on the great lakes ly- ing between the two countries, or rather between lhis country and Canada.
 This treaty, with this special provision has probably contributed in a larger measure, than anything else, to the present friendly, and most cordial feeling that exists to- day.
 Two committies have been ap- pointed on this great event. One national and the other internation- al, and contain the names of Elihu Root, W. J. Bryan, Theodore Roos- evelt, Andrew Carnigiea nd others.

D. FRANCIS BUYS REPUBLIC
Former Governor Buys Oldest Pa-
 per in Missouri

Control of the St. Louis Repub- lie, the oldest Democratic news paper in Missouri and one of the pioneer journals of the middle west has passed to Dayld K. Francis who 1t IS said, has been interested f. nancially in the newspaper some time. Mir. Francisis is believed to have obtained the majority stock after his unsuccessful race for the Unit ed States senate at the primaries last year.
 Several changes in the editoral staff will follow the change in ownership. Horatio w. Seymour, who for many years was editor-in- cheif of John K. Walsh's Chicago Chronicle, and is now member of the Pulitzer organization, which publishes the New York World and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, will go over to the Republic, 1t is announ- ced. It IS supposed he will be edit or-in-chief of the Francis paper.
 David K. Francis is a former gov ernor of Missouri and was presi- dent of the Louisiana Purchase exposition in St. Louis. For d long time he has been considered a heavy stockholder in the Republic. During his candidacy for the sen- ate the Republic supported him enthusiastically, but never admit ted that he had any financial inte- rest in the paper.
 The Republic is a morning and Sunday newspaper, and was found- cd in 1908.

 ports Crops Ruined

T. E. Linebaugh of Imboden was in PocohontaS Monday and re- ported that the crops along Spring river were absolutely ruined on account of the floods caused by | the excessive rains of last Sunday and Monday. The oldest citizens along the river state that the like was never seen in that locality be- fore. The water was from 10 to 20 feet deep all over the low lands and extended from hill to hill, up and down the river from Nam moth Spring to the mouth. Many thousands of acres of the finest corn and cotton ever seen in that localityis now absolutely worthless A. ], McCarroll, a farmer who lives on the river, states that his loss will amount to at least $4, ,000, and a number of other farmers up and down the river will suffer like los ses.
 MT. and Mrs. J. A. Holmes and infant child living seven miles north of Hardy, who have been camping on Spring river, under went a narrowing experience Mon day night. The river divides and forms an island, on which they were camping. The rains swelled the river until they were driven from their tent at s o'clock, taking refuge in a nearby tree. The rain continued almost the entire night, and they were forced to remain in the tree until daylight Tuesday morning, taking turns holding their eight months old baby. Their trunks, the contents of which were valued atabout $40, hoated off, but the tent is still here. .-Poco- hontas Star Herald.

FARMS READY FOR IRRIGATION

A scheme is planned at Hagen to sell about 1000 acrrs of land on the colinization plan. The whole tract is to be divided into smaller tracts of 40 and 80 acres, each al- ready equipped with apparatus for irrigating by connection with an electric current power, from the town of Hazen.
 The farms are also to have cottage, barn and fences ready for occupancy. On each farm will be a motor and well for irrigation in quantities of from 100 to 200 gal Ions per minute, according to the size of the farm, and the amount needed for irrigation purposes.
 The farm may be utilized, for rice, as 1t is in the rice district, but the plan IS to irrigate the products and raise garden truck in most cases. It is contended that land provided with irrigation facilities in the West sells for from $500 to 5000 per acre, while this land will only sell at from SIS to $100 per acre, already equipped for farming. The plan is to provide power supply from the power plant at Hagen.
