CENTENNIAL OF CAPTURE
 OF FORT MACKINAW

Today is the centennial of the cap- ture of Mackinaw by the British fore es, the beginning of a series of de- feats for the United States troops in the lake region. When Sir Isaac Brook, the seasoned veteran who commanded the British forces in IJn- per Canada, received word of the out break of war, he hesitated not a mo- ment, but immediately dispatched a messenger to Capt. Charles Roberts. ordering him to proceed immediately against Mackinaw. Capt. Roberts was commander Of the Canadian post of Fort St. Joseph. located on an isI- and Forty miles northeast of Macki- naw. Roberts. following Brooks in- etructions, mustered a force of em- and several tribes of Indians to add to of July IS they set out Q motley army of soldiers, fur traders and redskins. fleet of boats and canoes conveyed by the brig Caledonia. fur trading vessel Their equipment included two six pounders and a miscellaneous col. lection of other arms, some of the Indians having only bows and arrows.
 In the meantime, Lieut. Porter Hancks. in command of the fortifica- tion called Fort Holmes on the soutl-
 west bluff of Mackinaw Island, had received no information of the oat- break of war. He knew that the strug- gle was impending, however, and on the very day that the British force
 set out he became suspicious and sent

 military preparations were being made -s< Eart St Insanh- On his way to

fulfill his orders Dauman fell in with
 the. hostile fleet and was made a pris- oner.- Capt. Hancks was therefore all unprepared when the British and 1n- dians landed at Mackinaw on July IT, a hundred years ago today, and Capt. Roberts demand for surrender was the first actual knowledge he had that war was declared. Resistance was useless. Or so thought the American lieutenant, and he gave up his fort action was bitterly criticised in the United States, but he declared that if he had not surrendered. the Indians would have escaped the leash of the British commander and would prob- ably have massacred the entire garri- son. Amonth later Detroit surrend- cred, without offering any defense, and the lake country was lost to the United States.
 Mackinaw or Macinac island is a limestone rock about seven miles in circumference. with an altitude at it's center of 300 feet, located in the Strait of Macinac, which connects Lakes Huron and Michigan. Owing to its peculiar form, the Indians gave it the name of Mich-il-imack-i-nac, or ."Fhe Great Turtle.' On the opposite shore of the peninsula of Michigan the French Jesuits erected Fort Mackinaw which fell into the hands of the Britt ish, in. their conquest of Canada in 1760.. Three years later the Indians, professing friendship, invited the Brit ish garrison to witness: ball game, and at aSprearranged signal fell upon the whites with hatchets and killed many of them. The fort fell to the United States in 1796. On the out break of the war of 1872 Fort Holmes, on Mackinaw Island, had only a small garrison. and the stronghold, as pre- viously related. fell an easy prey to the British troops and their Indian allies.
 The highest temperature recorded in meteorological annals was taken in AL geria thirty-three years ago to-day, when the thermometer registered a fraction over 124 degrees Claims have been made of higher temperatures than that, but they are not supported by official data. The highest tempera- lures recorded in North America was 120, taken at Yuma, Arizona.

GOOD NEWS FOR FARMERS.
Sub-Irrigation System Saves Both Wa ter and Land.
Dailas. Tex, News.)

t4%41lGSs 4S1., 4NCWSs1
 For the last three months the resi- dents of Midland and the people of the South plains generally have been watching with great interest the es- 4abIishnfenk at Midland of an irrigated farm of a kind new to Texas and the southwest.
 No water Is seen on this farm at all In place of the usual streams running along the ditcheg and laterals the sur face: of the ground Is unbroken save by, waving green crops. The water is all under the ground. This new meth 'od in called "sub-irrfgation.'
 Numerous crude attempts have been made in recent years to sub-irrigate Hand from perforated pipes laid under kthe ground but they all eventually lproved failures mainly through inabil- l1he water escaped from becoming schoked, The system in use on the Midland farm solves this trouble in a very simple way and has at last made sub-irrigation practical and suc acessful.
 At Midland a well with a capacity of only forty gallons a minute is used to furnish water to irrigate twenty acres. a two-horse-power engine is us- led and the pump is a four and a equipment is small and inexpensive, owing to the small amount of water required From the we'll the water is pumped first into Aa 50-gallon settling tank, go that all foreign matter may sink to the bottom and not get into the system The main feed pipe run ming the length of the field is four iTl- 'ches: from it branch out the lateral two-inch pipes through the field. These pipes are laid two feet under the ground and the distance between the aaterals is thirty three feet. The vi. a1T a1af makes and lays them in the ditch right on the field At distances of Ihree feet apart small holes are made in the top of these concrete lateral pipes the entire length of the ditch into these holes, while the concrete is still damp, is inserted a small plug with an opening the size of a pin; on top of this plug, which sticks up about two inches, is placed a concrete cap which fits over the plug and con forms to the shape of the pipe. Where the cap fits on the pipe just enough through the plug to percolate from un- der the cap and into tfe soil.
 The points of superiority possessed by sub-irTigation over surface irriga- ton are many, the most striking be- ing the saving in land and in water. According to the United States gov ernment engineers, when twenty acres of ground is put into surface irriga- tion exactly one-tenth, or two entire acres, Is taken up in ditches, laterals and borders. This means that the money spent for these two acres is absolutely lost, because they yield not the slightest return in crops. With eub-irrigation, on the other hand, ev- cry foot of the ground is cultivated.
 Demonstrations have proven that to gub-irrigate twenty acres of land re- quires just one-seventh as much water as is required to surface irrigate the same land. Over 30 per cent. of the water pumped on the surface land is lost, the majority by evaporation and the rest by absorption in the ground in the ditches before it reaches the ground to be irrigated
