Most of the contractors now have their camps thoroughly esta blished and the work on the construction of E. P. & s. w. is being carried forward with con siderable rapidly.
 The cement contractors have receiving their concrete mixers and are receiving cement by the carload, which is being hauled to the various camps.
 The first steam shovel, ten ton locomotive, dump cars, mules and other equipment have been shipped from Ogden and are ex- pected to arrive here Wednesday. The men to operate the outfit will leave Ogden tomorrow and will arrive here as soon as ma chinery does, The outfit will be transferred to the $. P. at this ponit and taken to Irene, west of Mescal, and unloaded. Three more steam shovels to be used on the work will arrive later.
 LabOrerS are still arriving daily, and there are but few idle men in town, nearly all finding work upon arrival. The men generally have good appear ance and the peace of the town remains good.
 Our business houses are zen toying a constantly increasing trade, and when the first big payday is had there will be some thing doing in the old town Benson Press.

To the many who are inQuiring
enterprise near Cedar in San Miguel
county, Colorado, will say that l
have finished the survey of two res
ervoirs this summer, one OF which will
contain ten thousand, seven hundred
acres of water one foot deep with a
dam requiring fifty-six cubic yards of
dirt to the acre foot of water. The
other one will store about ten thous-
and acre feet with less quantity Of
dirt in the dam. There is plenty of
dirt available for building the dams at
small cost and the reservoirs are
ideal for holding water.
These reservoirs are so situated as
to cover the entire valley of thirty
thousand acres or more, by means of
about eight miles OF ditch to the up
per part of the land to be watered.
There are three other reservoirs To-
Gated which can, and will be utilized
If needed. The water supply is more
than ample to fill these artificial
LIKES each year. besides irrigating
the land during the early part of the
season. I have been camped near the

what extent this period OF infectivity
occurs in flies which have sucked
blood is not yet known.
II is also suggested that In addi-
ton to man the trypanosoma may
pass its existence in the bodies OF
other vertebrates such as the croco-
dile according to Koch. and various
wild herbivorous animals according
to others In the last year or two the
very important doubt has also been
raised as to whether giossina palpalis
is the exclusive carrier Of the human
trypanosomes. Thus cases OF sleep
ing sickness have occurred in the val
ley of the Loangwa. a tributary OF the
Zambesi in northeastern Rhodesia-
Up to the present glosina palpalis has

which hitherto have been exculpated

A new expedition is proceeding TO
northeast Rhodesia TO Investigate the
subject and the whole question OF pos
sible spread OF sleeping sickness In
consequence OF the construction OF the
Rhodesia- -Katanga junction railway
from the Broken Hill mine In north
ern Rhodesia to the Congo State from
tier and beyond.
Down to 1902 all kinds of theories
were rife as to the nature OF sleeping
sickness. but since this year we have
witnessed the results of the combina-
ton of scientific and meteorological
observations. The cause of the dis
ease is known-its method of propa-
CATION In part at any rate. The pre-
ventive plans hitherto undertaken are
in the right direction even II not so
complete as was supposed. The geo
graphical distribution OF tsetse fies
and sleeping sickness is being rapidly
determined. What still wants solution
are the studies on the more detailed
life histories OF the flies and the try
panosomes and synthetic remedies for
the cure of the unfortunate victims OF
the disease.
These studies are not merely OF
scientific or humane interest but OF
vast commercial Importance in CON
nection with the development OF equa-

Plan to Celebrate Anniversary of Treaty


On December "a. 1914. the treaty of
Client was concluded and the war OF
1912 brought to an end. That strug-
gle had been glorious for America on
the water and humiliating on the land.
The battle of New Orleans was fought
after peace had been made. Since
that time the United States and Eng
land have lived in a peace that has
been proved substantial by several in
cidents. notably the Wilkes AFFAIR,
which. were the nations not genuinely
desirous OF maintaining pacific rela-
tions. might easily have brought on
armed encounters.
Unquestionably the attitude OF Great
Britain in 1898 caused a revulsion of
popular feeling In this country and re-
lieved many minds OF an inborn or
heedlessly cultivated hatred and fear
Of her. Before that time there had
been a praiseworthy effort to make
school histories less bitterly partisan
than they had been. This movement
has made great headway since the
war with Spain. Definite attempts to
increase the good feeling not only be-
tween the peoples OF the two countries
have met with decided encourage
ment.

GRAsSHoPPERS AS FOOD.
College Professor Finds
Use for Pests.

The present generation seems to
have failed to make use OF Its oppor-
tunitics. There is an important fac
tor in the grasshopper problem which
we have not considered. This is man
himself.
John the Baptist ate grasshoppers
and wild honey. and did mankind a
service on the diet. We have known
for a long time that grasshoppers
have been and are eaten by many
people in different parts OF the world:
but it is somewhat of surprise to
learn that this article OF diet was
used and advocated by an eminent
cntomologist in this country.
Mr.. c. V. Riley. first government
entomologist, and the founder OF
what is now the Bureau of Entomol-
ogy in the United States Department
OF Agriculture, was cntomologist in
Missouri during the devastating raids
of the Rocky Mountain locust that
did so much damage in western Kan
