WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Census Bureau has jus. put out a
report on irrigation in The United States.
II has been found that 1878 farms
are irrigated wholly or ID part. and that
the acreage irrigated is 1878. as. or 4 8
per ceut of the improved area il, farms in
the states where irrigation (other than
for rice) is practiced California leads in
the number Of irrigated farms, Colorado
coming next and Utah third
The inquiry about this subject gives
the great irrigation exhibit heing pre-
pared for the San Diego Exposition
especial interest Col b G. Collier,
President Of the Exposition, belives that
this will be the greatest demonstration OF
the utility OF irrigation that has ever
been made. From the earliest times OF
which we are able to learn irrigation has
been practiced, especially in Bible lands,
and also in what is now known as New
Mexico, Arizona, Mexico, and other
portions, Of America. where can still be
traced irrigation bitches that were dug
BY people the very memory Of whom, has
persisted.
The history of irrigation shown at San
Diego will be no less interesting than the
demonstration Of what is being done with
its aid today.

Going beyond his depth in Lake
Cooper at the mouth OF Cheney creek
on the Illinois side, Frank Harvey, Jr.,
t1.year.old son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Harvey Of Elvaston, H.. was drowned
about five o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The boy was alone when drowned.
The alarm was given by one of the
hoys with whom he had been swim
ming and the search resulted in the
dnding OF his body. Either he was too
yenturesome or unwittingly got into
deep water away from help and his
own efforts failed to save him. The
hoy had come to the Hamilton chau-
tauoua with his family, except his mo-
.ther, and had gone in swimming with
some other boys in what is known as
Montebello bay, being the mouth of
Cheney Creek where the water from
the lake is backed up.
When the boy was found missing
and his clothes were found on the
bank 1t was supposed that he had
drowned and several men began look
ing for his body. They located the
body in six feet OF water by diving
and pulled it out. The boys younger
brother was at the water with him
and other members OF the family
we're notified.
Coroner Barr came to Hamilton last
night and held an inquest over the
body, throwing as much light as pos
sible on the manner of his death. The
body was then taken to Elvaston to
the family home.

ana respected citizens Of Keokuk,

health. at his home, 6os Orleans

and In 1854 was married to Miss
Elizabeth Martin. daughter of the late
William G. Martin. In partnership
with him. Mr.. Copeland was en-
gagged for a time in the queensware
business.
For number Of years, over twenty,
perhaps, he was in the Ice business
here, and was among the pioneer ice
dealers In the city who delivered
that commodity by wagons. To many
men and women in Keolkuk who, were
born here, the ice delivery wagons OF
Copeland are among their marked
recollections.
His first wife died December 8,
1901. and March %, 1903, he was
married second time to Mrs. Rachel

ity and refinement who survives him

Hugh Copeland was a good man.
Modest and unassuming, yet he won
his way into the respect and friend
ship Of a large number Of people in
Keolsuk and vicinity. Perhaps he
was known to more people in this
community than any other citizen of
the city, and everybody who knew him
respected and honored him for his
noble manly qualities and strict integ-
rity. He had been for years an
active member of the United Presby-
teiran church and for many years
past an honored elder In that organ
ization. position he held at the
time of his death.
