trically driven pumps have been in

of gallons of water from the depths
of the earth to be Hooded over the
dry lands in order to stimulate the
growing crops. Z,
But, it must not be forgotten that
irrigation in the west Is nothing new,
although many of these recent sys'
TENS are numbered among the gigan-
tic engineering ventures OF the world.
The first systematic employment OF
irrigation in the arid west by English
speaking people was made by the
Mormons, who, expelled from their
earlier settlements in the Mississippi
Valley, sought refuge in the unknown
desert regions, and at last, after ex-
periencing great hardships, were com.
PEELED, through necessity, to halt and
settle on the shores of the great salt
lake. Here the soil was found to be
so barren that crops could not be
grown by ordinary means, and, forced
through fear and privation to adopt
e and extraordinary devices, they
turned the waters Of the little can
yon streams upon the ground where
Salt Lake City now stands. After
many years scant SUCCESS or dls-
heartening failure they succeeded IN
mastering the art OF irrigation, and,
under the wisdom of their leaders
they have become a prosperous peo-
ple. Long before the Mormons came,
however, small sections of the dryer
portions of the great west were being
cultivated through irrigation. The an

western Colorado and the adjacent
sections Of Utah, Arizona, and New

of the wonderful cliff dwellings, and
in the little nearby valleys are the
irrigating bitches used by the inhabi'
tants of a thousand or more years
ago.
The descendants of these tribes
till a portion Of the lands which were

canals at the time when the Spanish
first cam into the region. They FOL
low many Of the practices Of theil
investors, having been Influenced but
slightly by contact with white set
tiers, who, rather, have learned from
them how to successfully cultivate
the soil.
The Mexicans Of mixed Spanish and
Indian blood gradually pushed up into
this region, and from the necessities
of the situation adopted irrigatine
methods, bitches dug by them are to
be found along the Rio Grande as far
north as Colorado and the tributaries

SIXTEEN new TOWNS
ON 500 EXTENSION
First Auction Sale Of Lots
Held at Funston, 0frIn
And Cyan

ESMOND, n. d, July 12.-The first
auction sales OF town lots in the six
teen new towns on the Drake.Devils
Lake-Fordville cut off of the 500 were
held on July 8 and 3. In Funston,
Orrin and Egan, the first three towns
commencing at the Drake end of the
line. Funston Is In McHenry county
and Orrin and Egan are in Pierce.
The new towns are from six to eight
miles apart.
These towns have large numbers OF
Germ an Russian farmers tributary to
them, men who farm every foot Of the
ground ind get the biggest crops.
They are industrious and thrifty, and
are making good OH the land filed on
by them as homesteads about ten
years ago. The toWnsite company has
offered them free sites for schools and
churches in each Of the new towns,
adm many of them purchased both
residence and business lots.
Mr.. Senger has had an implement
warehouse on the Orrin townsite for
the past two years, waiting for the
arrival of the rails, meanwhile haul
ing all his merchandise from Ana
moose. Orrin also has had a black
smith shop some time. General stores
will be put up at nce by the pur-
chasers of other lots. The steel Is
laid to a point about a mile north
east of Orrin.
Egan is the nearest Of the 500
towns to Rugby. A bank, a general
store and a restaurant are already
doing business adjoining the townsite,
and the buildings will at once be
moved to lots bought at the sale. Sill
va, Fillmore and Baker will be the
next to hold sales of town lots.
The plan Of the townsite company,
which is a subsidiary company Of the
500 line, is to offer lots for sale, at a
list price, non being sold for any
less sum. Where more than one per-
son applies for a particular lot, the
same is sold at auction, and the sur
plus over the companys fixed price
is turned over to officials Of the new
town to be used as an improvement
1lnd, to grade streets and set out a
park. This is a feature peculiar to
the 500 Line, and prevents any claim
Of partially between rival applicants
for choice corner lots.
Silva, Fillmore, Baker and the other
new towns farther east are in terri
tory settled by a mixed population.
Americans, Canadians, etc, and q
smaller percentage persons OF Eu-
ropean birth than the three towns
first above named.
Mr.. Campbell of the townsite com
pany, has charge of the sales, and is
following the grade from town to
town in an automobile, camping out
at night and selling town lots during
the day at one or two towns. He will
be busy each day until the 18th, the
last sale being set for the 18th at Dab
len, in Nelson county, near the Ford.

Pure Fabric Laws
Continued from page ~

Continued from page ~
when people order from catalogue
houses direct and the groceries are
proven impure, nothing can be done
since the shipment of 1t is under the
head of interstate commerce.
II think it would be a splendid
thing if a national pure fabric law
were enacted similar to the pure food
law. This would mean that materials
used in clothing, machinery, etc,
would have to be tested by a compe-
tent government expert, and proper
ly labeled. Thus when persons buy
garments supposed to be all wool,
they will be protected against being
given a garment that is part vol
and part shoddy or cotton. The cloth
would have to bear the label as to its
actual composition.
"The same thing would apply to
machinery, or hardware. Take for
instance shoe nails. There are two
kinds l have in mind, brass and
brassed. The consumer cannot tell
the difference and in many instances
there is no doubt but that the brassed
nails are sold at a price that would
be ample enough for those entirely
of brass. Under a pure fabric law
the box would have to be labelled so
that the purchaser could e Just
what he was purchasing.
"This would afford the covsumer
much needed protection. 1t would al
so affect the retail merchant mas
much as he would be protected
against the catalogue houses. The
catalogue house that would advertise
an article for sale would be obliged
to furnish that article of as high a
standard as had been advertised.
"The routine channels of trade OF
the present day, namell, goods going
from the manufactures to the whole
saler, from the wholesaler to the re-
taller, and from the retailer to the
consumer, are the most economical
that may be devised. If any firm or
catalogue house claims otherwise,
they must make up the difference by
delivering a lower quality OF wares.
A national pure fabric law would pro
tect the consumer, and would bring
the catalogue house to the same bas-
is as the retaileEk thus equalizing COM
petition between these two"
Mr.. Bruegger spent the night here
and departed Friday morning for his
home at Williston.

the three lost their lives together.
They were just blooming into
manhood and womanhood. Mr..
Mr.. David was only in his 18th

man in his vicinity. To know
him was to love him. He leaves
a father, mother, two sisters, a
brother and many friends to
mourn his loss.
Mr.. Bradford was in his 10Th
year and was loved by all who
knew him. Miss Dora was only
in her 18th year, a true friend
and loving daughter.
They leave father, mother,
three sisters, five brothers and
many friends to mourn their
los. Besides robbing the homes

One of the most effective ways
to distribute information con-
cerning good roads has proved to
be the Good Roads Special Train.
This is a train equipped with a
road exhibit and highway engi-
neer lecturers. Four such trains
have been operated by the office
of public roads at Washington.
D. c., in cooperation with rail-
road officials.
On March Is, 1912, another
such train started from Browns
vile, Texas, on a $1,000 mile
trip in the states of Missouri,
Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Mississippi and Alabama. This
train has one car devoted to
models of all kinds of road build
ing, including bridges and cul-
verts. The preparation of these
mdels is a work of art. and they
probably cannot be duplicated in
the world today. There are al
so miniature road rollers and
road machines, even miniature
quarry with miniature crusher
and all the machines are run by
electricity, generated on the
train.
