Rulers of ENGLAND.

The first to rule over all England was
Egbert, king or Wessex, who united
all the various petty kingdoms and be-
came king of England in S27 The
greater kingdom was disrupted from
S7S to 95S, when the Danes ruled north
OF the Thames. In the latter year King
Edgar reunited the kingdom, and since
that time 1t has never been partitioned.
Between Edmund Ironside Q010 and
Edward the Confessor 1042) three
Danish kings ruled all England-Ca-
mute, Harold l. and Hardlcanute. The
first king OF Great Britain was James
|. Q603). The first king of the United
Kingdom OF Great Britain and Ireland
was George Ill. From the conquest OF
Ireland In 1172 by Henry IL. the kings
of England were styled Lord of Ireland
until the assumption of the title king
of Ireland by Henry VIII, and there
after this title was used until the act
OF union In 1901. The imperial sover-
eighty Of India was assumed by Queen
Victoria.

ThE TAILENpERs,

Irrigation systems, IKE clouds.
sometimes go back on the folks who
are dependent on them for moisture.
From one who has recently visited
Grand Junction. Colo, we learn that
many ranch owners who are depend
ent for their water supply on private
irrigation enterprises have the past
season been left badly 10 the iurcn
and compelled to pay $40 per acre for
water which they had contracted at
81, this growing out OF the fact that
there was not enough water to go
around. Naturally the matter has got
into the courts. and the supreme court
OF the state has ruled that In case
where there is not enough water to
supply all patrons of u system those
who first bought and were furnished
with water have the prior right and
can compel service up To the limit OF
the amount which their contracts call
ed for. This Is mighty tough on those
who have paid their good. hard cash
! for land at Inflated prices on the sup
position that they were 10 get water
and who in seasons OF a short supply
might as well be in the midst OF the
Sahara desert In view of this situa
ton simple justice would seem to re
| quire that those who promoted such
| irrigation schemes and willfully took
on more patrons than the system could
supply should be held responsible FOL
getting money under false pretenses
The prospective buyer of western
ranch propositions should beware OF
buying land on the tail end OF over
loaded private irrigation enterprises

notes before. but 1t is worth repeating

WHO PAYS THE FIDDLERf

There is little question that $6O,OOO.-
600 would hardly cover the loss
which egg producers the country over
sustain yearly through the careless
marketing OF rotten, stale, cracked or
dirty eggs Doubtless those who mar
ket this kind OF trash have the idea
that they come one" on the retail
dealer when they load him up with
eggs of questionable reputation. but
the fact of the matter is that. while
the first buy er seems to bear the bur-
den on the face OF the transaction. the
loss is really borne by egg producers
as class who are compelled to take
enough less for their really good fresh
eggs to cover the loss which the mid
dlemen sustain on rots and spots. And.
as in a. good many similar Instances,
the innocent suffer with the guilty I'M
less they are so situated that they
. can find a special market for their
guaranteed eggs. as many do. AS
showing what the loss In these stale
and added eggs amounts TO may be
cited a record that was kept of 258.99f
cases OF eggs that were shipped to
New York city from several states
last year. 1t was found that OF this
enormous amount Be- per cent. or 90,
64s cases. were either rotten, cracked
stale or dirty. There should be some
thing in these figures to make her
