Orchard City lies on a 'bcnch" land

soon after IN irrigation system had
been installed all the land was taken
up and placed under cultivation, writes
c. a. Smith. the engineer in charge of
constructing the watcrworks, in the
American City.
Owing to the character of the geolog-
ical formation underlying the tract ii
is practically impossible to obtain wa
ter by drilling wells. The ranchers
therefore had to depend upon the wa
ter from the irrigation bitches for all
purposes. In the winter, when the

MRS. DREXEL WINS
$4,000 ALLOWANCE
Gets Judgment Against Husband
in Separation Agreement.

London, June 21.-Mrs. Rita Arm
strong Drexel, wife Of Anthony J..
Drexel, the American banker. obtained
a judgment against her husband for
a yearly allowance of $4,000, awarded
by Justice Neville in the Chancery
Court to-day.
When the case was last before the
court. in December, 1915, Mr.. Drexel
contested the jurisdiction of the Eng
lsh courts, on the ground that he
was a resident Of France. This point
was decided against him, and when
court opened to-day the bankers at
torney said that, as it had been de-
cided that the English courts had
jurisdiction, he could not defend the
case.
Mrs. Drexel separated from her
husband in 1911, while they were liv-
ing in London, and it was announced
that she proposed to institute divorce
proceedings. These proceedings were
dropped when separation agreement
was entered into by which Mrs
Drexel was TO receive an annual sum
of $4,000 and five policies on the life
of her husband, aggregating 100000,
which were TO be assigned to a trustee
and held for her benefit in the event
Of the bankers death.
In July. 1915, Mr.. Drexel filed suit
for a divorce in Paris and stopped the
allowance 20 his wife The present
suit was the result OF this action.
The Drexels were married in 1885,
and have lived abroad for the last
twenty years.

PARALYSIS KILLS
THREE CHILDREN
Many New Cases Reported
in Spread of Epidemic
in Brooklyn.

With forty-three known cases Of in
fantile paralysis, twelve OF which were
reported yesterday, and between fifty
and sixty other cases marked "sus-
picious" on the lists Of the Board of
Health. Brooklyn is becoming alarmed
over the sudden rapid spread Of the
disease. All Of the cases are young
children, with the exception Of two
ten-year-olds; about half Of them be-
long to Italian families.
Several Brooklyn physicians said last
night that as a general rule infantlIe
paralysis was not fatal. but that its
after effects were greatly to be feared.
Almost coincident with this statement
three deaths from the disease IN the
house AT 2O2 Skillman Street were re-
ported. Two were members OF one ram
ilv. their deaths occurring only two
davs apart. Vincent O'Neil, two
months Old. was taken sick Monday and
died the same evening, while his
brother Charles. three and half years
old. became sick the same day and died
Yesterday morning. The other death
i'm the Skillman Street house was that
of Edward Abberton. fourteen months
old. who was taken sick Friday and died
Monday.
A Brooklyn doctor, who specializes in
nervous diseases Of children, said last
night that the infantile paralysis germ,
discovered by Dr. Simon Flexner, and
declared by him TO be transmitted
through the respiratory channels, was
carried in dust and that often neglect
on the part Of parents subjected the
child 10 the disease.

GREELEY STATUE SKIDS
OVER ICE TO NEW SITE
Blocks Solve Problem of Erect
ing Figure in Park.

Ice blocks solved the problem Of
erecting the famous statue Of Horace
Greeley on its new site at the south
east corner of City Hall Park after
moving IL from the position IL had
occupied for twenty-six years in front
Of the Tribune Building. When the
contractor, Oliver II. Lemans, who has
for some time been the city's official
statue mover, had separated the ia
miliar bronze figure from the massive
base stone and had carted the entire
monument in twenty-ton trucks TO its
new resting place, he was faced with
an apparently insoluble difficulty. The
statue itself was so heavy that there
seemed no way of removing the jacks
and timber on which it had been
erected.
Yesterday morning the dignifed fig
ure Of the editor was tipped forward at
an angle of 80 degrees on solid foun-
dation of thick blocks Of ice. By noon
the rain and warmth had melted the
foundation until the fifteen tons had
settled back TO an erect position.
