TOO BAD

1t is funny to read the comments
of English newspapers on the
Panama Canal bill. The injured
tone which they adopt is peculiarly
distressing. 1t is too bad. Great
Britain has always been so
generous in her dealings with other
powers.
. When we reflect how she came
by Hongkong and gave China the
blessings of the opium trade; Row
she acquired India and Gibraltar,
and the control of the stock in the
Suez Canal; how she destroyed the
manufactures in Ireland. and what
her original claim was on Canada,
and her last years transactions in
Persia. and her dealings with the
Beers in the long ago. we feel like
crying ourselves that sny other
power should hurt our old grand
mothers feelings.-Salt Lake

SOME POTATOES THESE;
IRRIGATED BY PUMPING

Jas. Davis, who is experimenting
in dry farming near Oreana, was
in town over SUI day and gives a
very encouragir statement of
results obtained from pumping
operations this wear.
Mr.. Davis has entered 100 acres
of land, situated on the Humboldt
river bottom about ten miles above
town. While this land is not over
ten feet above, the level of the
water in the river and is adjacent
to the river banks, it has no water
available for irrigation except by
pumping. This is done from a
large dug we'll and this year a g.
inch centrifugal pump has been
used to supply the ten acre patch
under cultivation. Nine acres of
this ground was planted to potatoes
last spring and now big crop is
being harvested.
Mr.. Davis is positive that the
yield from the niEe acres will be
at least 1000 sacks of potatoes
that will sell at two dollars per
sack, being $1,000 income from the
nine acres, and this is on a home
stead on 1.-THE Great American
Desert"
This fall Mr.. Davis expects to
put twenty-five acres additional in
to rye, and to put a much larger
pump in; ready for next seasons
pumping. The outcome Of these
operations will be watched with
interest by the many interested in
dry farming here. So encouraging
has ben the result of the first years
experiment, that Mr.. Davis feels
certain that irrigation by pumping
is practicable and profitable and
will get the entire l60-arces under
cultivation as rapidly as possible.

Humorist Records Some Surprises
That Attended the Occasion Of
Popular Celebration.

During a recent Old Home Week In
an upstate village the following
observation-disclosures" were
in attendance:
John Wilson Clarke, who was al
ways too lazy to do the chores, came
UP from New York in his big seven.
passenger car. On account OF press
ing work he could stay but few
hours.
Ex-Gov. Silby Kirkwood, who was
naturally thick-headed and half-baked
in his youth, stopped over in his pri-
Vate car to see his old home.
DR.. Willis G. Dyer, one Of the best
known surgeons in the country, called
the town fool when a boy, dropped In
and left enough money for a town
library.
Miss Caroline Jensen Atwood, too
stupid to learn In the old red school
house, now a popular authoress and
playwright visited her relatives.
Charlie Druke, the spendthrift, shut
up his Wall street office long enough
to attend.
One of the most noticeable features
Of the whole celebration was the alb
sence OF the men and women who
gave much promise of originality and
worth during their youth.

A WORLD WIDE MOVEMENT

A worldwide .movement for
greater safety among the several
million men who work in the mines
suggested by DR.. Joseph A. Holmes
the director of the United State
Bureau of Mines was inaugural
ed at the Pittsburg Experiment
Station If the Blu eau September
18th. when government off cials
from the leading nations of the
earth convene to discuss the great
problem before them. Invitations
to participate in such Conference
have been extended by the federal
government, and the American
ambassadors to the different
foreign countries that have mining
interests, including Great Britain
Germany, France, Belgium,
Austra-Hungary, Mexico and
Canada. f.'
The army OF coal miners through
out the world numbers more than
5000, 900 men and each year be-
tween 5000 add 1000 meet death
through accident. The death rate
among these men in 1910 was Eli
every 1000 employed. In the
United States alone in the same
year, 1884 men were killed in the
coal mines, or 81 in every 1000
employed. With conditions worse
in the United States than in any
other country. it is expected. that
the conference of experts will re-
suit in great good to this country,
and perhaps a lessening IF the
death rate in the world.
The prevention of coal dust and
gas explosions in the mines will be
the general theme of the n
ference officials, who will continue
in session at Pittsburg for ten days.
The United States has the only
experimental nine in the world
and the visitors are the heads of
explosive-testinq stations in their
respective countries and the con-
ference will endeavor to develop
more uniform and if possible, new
methods of testing explosives. 1t
is believed that such a conference
will contribute largely to the in
itiation improvements in mining
and will he hflpfukin the adoption
Of safer mining equipment and
methods.
