ing it,with the individual canal COM
panies. Reclamation service at
Washington and the secretary Of the
interior will then deal with the irri-
Cation district as an individual and
the district will deal with It's mem
bers. Any canal company can come
in or stay out, any individual as a
member of the canal company can
come in or stay out, or any individual
not connected with q canal company
can come in or stay out as he may
choose. They propose to sell bonds
to get money to finance the UNDER
taking In connection with the money
promised by the federal government.
The government will appropriate
money on the condition that the set
tiers put up their share, but not
otherwise. The federal government
will handle all construction work and
it is thought that the bonds will be
payable in from ten to twenty years
from the date of issue. The plans
have been approved by the state Of
icials including the attorney.general,
and everybody seems to be in favor
of the plans and nobody objected
to it. There do not seem to be any le-
gal, physical, or financial difficulties
in the way and the ten years elaps-
ing between the time Of issuing the
bonds and the time Of paying them
OF, gives plenty of time to fill the
reservoir and get settled down to
farming where there is plenty OF
water every season regardless of
whether 1t is wet or a drouth. It
is thought that the bonds will sell
for very good price and at mod
erately low rate of interest and the
payments will be distributed over q
period of ten years. 1t is thought
that the cost will be about IS per
acre on this land and 1t will not be
much Of burden to anybody. Much
must be attended to II they get the
public thoroly informed as to the
exact proposition, the advantages It
will bring, and all the things that
may be required and expected; then
a vote will be taken and II two
thirds OF the people concerned vote
in favor Of the proposition then the
irrigation districts will be organized
upon the authority Of the votes cast.
II any other plan is taken there
seems to be no prospect Of financing
it. Some of the cancal companies
have made their first payment and
only two have made their second pay
ment, there being 100000 delin-
quent at the present time.
Laying an obligation Of IS an acre
on the land Is not laying much Of a
burden upon 1t, and the bonds will
sell well because Of the splendid Sc
curity existing in the land and be-
cause of the further fact that the
water right being created, would be
worth more than It will cost and that
in itself will be good security for the
expenditure Of the money. For ex-
ample the Jackson lake reservoir
cost about $1.25 an acre and II there
was anything delinquent against any
ot the stock there would 6s plenty

complished with the Grimm alfalfa
men can also be accomplished by
specializing on raising pure clean red
clover seed, as 1t is always in demand
at good prices. The seed is used
in the dye industries that are now
being rapidly developed in America,
and that adds to stability and volume
Of the demand. Red clover is especi-
ally adapted to fit in with the rota-
tion Of crops as it starts and develops
quickly, fills the soil with nodules4
the nitrgen and the third year in
collapses and is ready to be plowed
up, mellow and rich. Red clover is
an excellent feed, fits in we'll with
dairying and Is a reasonably sure
crop.
White clover is recommended be-
cause the seed commands good
price, and 1t yields best when it is
pastured some in the spring and
again after the seed crop is har-
vested. This supplies the pasturage
that is SO hard to provide from other
sources, brings good returns from
the sale of pure seed, and enriches
the soil.
What has been said of profits from
other kinds Of pure seeds is also true
of alsike, all of them help to solve
the freight problem that has been
such hard one for farmers long
way from the markets as we are.
When we sell 500 worth of po-
tatoes, 1t takes from third to q
halt to pay the freight on them to
market. When a $1O0 is obtained
from the sale Of pure seeds of any
of the grasses mentioned, 1t takes
only few dollars to pay the freight
on 1t to any place in. the United
States.
Different localities in the county
may be organized into seed districts
OF any particular kind and. make 1t
easy to keep the seed pure. Con-
siderable red clover has already been
raised in the Basalt country, and II
they organize and plan to keep 1t
pure and market 1t together as do
the Grimm alfalfa pure seed growers,
It will add good revenue.

Then, in 1888, he was recalled to Office
as Minister Of Foreign Affairs, to deal
with serious questions. He held the
place for little more than a year, but
in that time accomplished more than
any of his predecessors toward such
revision of treaties as would make
Japan the peer of other nations. lie
made treaties with the United States
and Germany under which, through the
creation of mixed tribunals of japanese
and foreign judges sitting together, it
was hoped to settle the troublesome
question of extratcrritorial jurisdic-
tlon. Because of this very achievement
however, he incurred the resentment OF
some political extremists, and an at
tempt was made to murder him. A
bomb was thrown into his carriage
which exploded and tore off one of his
legs. This necesstated his retirement
from Office

sovereignty.
shigenob:: okuma, in his childhood
called Hachitaro Okuma, was of the
Samurai Clan, son of General
Nobuyasu Okuma. an artillery officer
and commander of the Notifications Of
Nagasaki. He was born in February,
1888. at Saga, in the Province of Hizen.
in Kiushu, and was educated in the
Samurai clan school, where he was
thoroughly drilled in the classics and
in "Bushido," the Samurai code Of
ethics, honor and patriotism. At Naga-
saki, however, he came into contact with
Western civilization, that being before
Perry's advent the only port to which
foreign vessels were admitted. There
he learned the English and Dutch
languages and imbibed ideas of Euro
pean progress and liberalism which
seemed blasphemous to the old Samurai
and caused his suspension from the
school, lest he should contaminate his
fellows. But the "opening" of Japan

who was many years younger, and Oku-
ma was at once appointed to an lmpor-
