IRRIGATION FIELD LOCATED.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The great
valley of the Mimbres river near Dem
ing, N. NJ, is the latest irrigation
field, according to an announcement
by the United States geological survey
today.
Windmills dotting the landscape
give the casual observer the only clue
to the water supply, and the fruitful
ness of this region. But the survey
has been investigating that territory,
and it finds that the vast deposits of
sand and gravel underlying the region
contain vast quantities of water.
This is pumped to the surface, by
the huge windmills. Already there
has been a rush of settlers to the val
ley, and the survey is issuing infor-
nation to prospective homesteaders on
request.

DESCENDANT OF ROYALTY.

| LONDON, May 20.-A pauper of six
ty, Augustus West by name, who be-
came an inmate of Wandsworth In
Urinary the other day, claims to be a
direct descendant of George ii. He
declares that his grandmother was
Princess Lavinia" of Cumberland,
who died in 1871 after unsuccessfully
appealing to Queen Victoria for recog-
milton of her claim to be of royal
blood.
The Cumberland claim was first
made in 1877, when Mrs. Olive Ser
res alleged that she was the daughter
of Henry, Duke of Cumberland, broth
er of George III, and grandson of
George II. The question was raised in
the house of commons, but her claim.
was rejected, and she died in 1884.
Her daughter Lavinia's subsequent eff
forts to establish her royal lineage
were supported by many famous men.

SHARING THE GOOD THINGS.

One of the most interesting eXper-
fences any of us can possibly have is
the perusal of letters written by
friends far away from us, who relate
incidents concerning their new way of
life and who tell what has befallen
them Of good or i'll since we have last
seen them. During the years of its rel
atively long existence Moscow has had
first and last numerous bright, attrac-
tive, and dearly priced citizens. Among
these a good many have, in the natural
course of events, moved to other local
tiles. The greetings they send to old
Moscow friends and the accounts of
their present fortunes are matters that
concern not only the old-timers here
but the newcomers as well, who like
to hear about the people who have
helped to make Moscow what it is. We
always appreciate the favor shown us
when such letters as these are brought
to our notice and we are permitted to
print extracts from them We should
like to have more of them, realizing |
clearly that our readers enjoy as much |
as we do all the news about former
residents. In reproducing such letters,
We of course print only those items
which the recipient is willing to have
published, suppressing names and per-
sonal matters where it is thought de-
sirable We hope in the course of the
next few months to have the oppor-
tunity of furnishing many columns

A FRENCHMAN'S HONOR.

A Frenchmans honor is a peculiar
thing and to be satisfied in ways that
vastly amuse a nation whose notions
of gallant conduct are quite different
and less hysterical A New York
sculptor struck French art critic the
other day, and there has since waged a
hot dispute as to whether the critic
is obliged by the rules of a gentle
mans conduct to fight a duel with the
sculptor or take the affair into the
police courts. The critic claims that
il the blow had been lighter, he would
have challenged the New York man
to fight with swords or pistols, but
that as the blow was a Knockout one,
the matter is out of his gentlemanly
jurisdiction and has become so gross
as to deserve only common police
court adjustment
1t cannot be denied that the distinc-
ton is a nice one. 1t would appear

a fine, but if one should be so bold as
to slap another on the wrist, or may
hap on the cuff, he would stand great
chance of being run through by an
enemy's sword. An interesting ques-
ton would arise as to just how gentle
would have to be the slap to make the
affair truly elegant. Would not a sly
and delicate pinch be the very height
Of insult to French manhood?

THE CAMPUS DAY DONATION.

In contributing so handsomely to
the Campus Day funds, the business
men of Moscow in the Chamber Of
Commerce were not inspired by any
selfish motive nor by any notion that
their voluntary and spontaneous slit
of three hundred and fifty dollars in
addition to the fifty previously sub
scribed from the treasury, would prove
for the city of Moscow an investment
that would yield handsome returns.
The only idea in the minds of the gcn-
erous donors was to show their good
will toward university activities in
general and toward this splendid Gus
tom in particular.
They felt that both the twenty-dith
anniversary of the founding of the uni
versity and the presence here next
Monday of a moving picture expert to
secure pictures of the university for
display in the Idaho building during
the entire period of the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition warranted the most
cordial response to an appeal for fin
ancial support.
Notwithstanding the fact that they
acted without any thought Of the ulti-
mate good Moscow would derive from
their splendid gift, it is nevertheless
true that Moscow will at once begin
to reap unmistakable benefits. I'M
mediately after the meeting of the
Chamber, Geographic news stories Of
the generous donation were flashed to
four of the leading daily newspapers
in the state. Today at thousands up
on thousands of breakfast tables
throughout Idaho, Oregon and Wash |
ington. families read the announce
ment of the raising of $3.50 in ten

and also a vivid story OF Campus Day
its origin and purpose. and an out
line Of the great anniversary pageant |
which will depict III beautiful symbols
of dance, masque, and rableau the his
tory, resources, and industries of our
great commonwealth.
Does any one think that Moscow
could by any other means today
achieve an equal amount OF desirable
publicity? Can any one suppose that
such proof of loyalty and support for
the University of Idaho on the part
of Moscow business men will come
amiss? Not only among those who
are able next Monday to enjoy the
pageant the beauty and perfection of
which have now been guaranteed, but
also among those who see the pictures |

are displayed in Idaho, viii the name {

AMERICAN rRrcArs's RECORD.

One hundred years ago the United
States frigate Congress, in command
Of Cnpt. John Smith, returned to
Portsmouth. N. H.. after a seven
months cruise in search of British
prizes. The cruise had been a most
successful and profitable one. Three
weeks after putting TO sea the Con-
gress captured British brig of ten
guns, and with her cargo of Il
tons Of copper. Two days later she
fell in with and captured another
British brig with large cargo OF
hides and tallow. The most valuable
prize OF all, however, fell to the Con-
gress on October e5, when she cap
tured the British ship Rose, laden
with wine and potatoes. After put
ting 5000 gAlons of wine into the
water casks Of the Congress and fill
ing her hold with many tons OF pota-
toes, Captain Smith destroyed his
prize, after ira feIring her officers
and crew aboard his own ship.

One of the most interesting re-

women of that time, was sold for SOS
at the auction of Eliot Danforth's

The document, which is very old,
declares that Winnefred Holman was
known by the signers to be ''diligent
in her calling, and frequents pub
lique preaching and gives diligent at
tention thereunto."
Spirited bidding was notable
throughout the sale. The highest
price paid was $3.50 for a grant of
