one man can handle working contin-

Idaho which will not absorb all the
water they can successfully hold in
less than three or four hours.
The other reason for the presence
OF surface waste is the continuous flow

this method It is more convenient in
many cases to let the water run to

tom of ceasing to irrigate whenever it
rains. Except where irrigation is be-
ing carried on with storage water
which could otherwise be held in stor-
age this is a poor policy. Practically
all soils will hold three or more
inches of water within reach of plant
roots. Single transforms of more than
one-third of that amount are very
rare during the irrigation season. II
fields are ready for irrigation when a
rainstorm commences there will be
little or no gain by waiting for the
rain to stop. In fact. there is more

cessive evaporation from the surface

The annual low water period on all
streams in Idaho has been reached
much earlier than usual this year. To
secure normal OF near normal crops
water must be saved at every point.
One waste of water which occurs
on all projects during a normal year
is so obvious that it seems almost
unnecessary to call attention to il.
This is the waste water from the sur
face of the fields. Two principal rea-
sons contribute to this type of waste.
One is the habit of doing the irriga-
ton as an odd job by setting the
water once or twice a day and leav-
ing it to care for itself in the mean
time.
Method Causes Waste
Unless the land is unusually well
prepared and the irrigator exception
ally skilful this method is bound to
result in an uneconomical use of water.

the corporation. Judge J. w. Ross of
the United States District Court yes
terday voluntarily and of his own
motion recused himself and certified
the records of the pending cases for
the appointment of another judge.
The two motions overruled by the
judge were filed by Saunders and af-
fected both his voluntary bankruptcy
proc eeding and his receivership suit
against the CORPORATION. Saunders
charged that Judge Ross was per-
sonally biased and prejudiced against
his interest and in favor of the cor
poration's interest.
The alleged bias and prejudice eX-

of the judges financial and business
connections with parties interested in

Both motions were denied by the

MOSCOW. September lS.-The crew
OF the Russian ship krasny Oktiabr
tRed October). hoisted the Soviet
nag on Wrangell Island. off northern
Siberia. on August 20, according to
announcement: made by the Rosta
News Ageacy. They found an Amer
lean and II Eskimos on the island
me vessel will sail for home Sep
tember %.
The Red October. a vessel flying
the Russian flag and with Russian
infantry aboard, was dispatched from
Petropavlovska kamchatka PENN
sula, it was reported last month, to
take the inhabitants prisoner, seize
the shipping, and establish Russian
ownership of the island in the name
or the Soviet government.
Wrangell Island has been variously
claimed for the United States, Eng
land, Russia and Japan.
L. $. Claims stand.
The State Department at Washing
ton has held that the island is the
property of the United States, on the
ground that American explorers in
1881 took possession in the name of
the United States.
Last year the noted explorer
Stefansson brought back news of the
death by starvation of three Amer
leans and one Canadian who were
sent to Wrangell Island to obtain it
as a British possession. This party
was commanded by Allen r. Craw-
ford of Toronto. and according to the
account, the British flag was first
hoisted. and later the American flag
was run up over the British.
The American taken off by the
Russian vessel is probably Charles
Wells, who was reported marooned
on the island with a party of Eski-
mos. Wells was left on the island
when a rescuing party proceeded
there after the survivors of the ILL
fated Stefansson expedition.

Roman Generals Liked
Spring Mineral Water

The Romans, who knew much about
external and internal cleanliness that
was forgotten after the downfall Of
their power, attached the greatest i'm
pOrtance to the drinking Of mineral
water. At Aix-les-Thermes, for in
stance, in the Pyrenees, the waters
were used by the Roman cOnquerOrs,
and st. Louis had a pond built there
for the use of Crusaders who returned
from the Holy Land stricken with lep-
rosy. This pond is still in existence.
1t was in the Nineteenth century,
however, that Aix-les-Thermes was
adapted to modern needs and became
popular resort. It's waters contain
sodium sulphide and are very benefi-
cial for rheumatism and gOut.
In this country the term thermal"
is not in wide use, one seldom hearing
the term thermal resort" applied to
places where persons go to take a
"cure." In Europe, on the other hand,
the word is In common use, and q ther-
NAL resort is recognized as a place
whose waters possess certain healing
and health-giving properties, and
which has also been developed to take
proper care of those who repair for a
cure or to enjoy a period Of rest and
recreatiOn.-DetrOit News.

An automatic leak indicator for

Indicator board, either on the bridge
or in some other convenient place.
The board is fitted with a number of
small glow lamps of different colors,
and is connected with an alarm bell.
When water rises to the level of the

Columbus First Pirate
in American Waters

Christopher Columbus is said to
have been the first person who prac-
ticed piracy In American waters. 1t is
said that his second voyage was moth
ing less than an expedition for the
sake of plunder. Natives were en-
slaved, and subjected to the, greatest
hardships, so that they died in large
numbers. A pack of bloodhOunds,
which Columbus brought with him for
the purpose, was used to hunt down
the poor Indians when they endeav-
ored to escape from the hands of their
Cppressor, and in every way the island
of Haiti, the principal scene of the
actions of Columbus, was treated as
If it's inhabitants had committed a
dreadful crime by being in possession
of the wealth which the Spaniards de-
sired f9C themselves.
Queen Isabella was greatly opposed
to these cruel and unjust proceedings,
and she sent back to their native land
about 300 slaves which Columbus had
shipped to Spain, and gave positive
orders that no more Of the inhabitants
be enslaved and that they all be
treated with moderation and kindness
According to Frank r. Stockton, In
his buccaneers and Pirates of Our
Coasts" it was because of his alleged
atrocities that Columbus was super

Countess Introduced
Quinine Into Spain

Quinine is obtained from the pow
dered bark of the cinchOna tree.
Early In the Seventeenth century the
countess of Cinchon and her husband
went to live at Lima, in Peru, the
count having been appointed vicerOy.
In one Of the provinces grew a tree
the bark of which was said to cure
fever. The governor of the province.
hearing some years later that the
countess had contracted the dread dis
ease, sent her parcel Of the bark.
1t cured her and later, on returning
to Spain, she took with her quantities
of the drug. In spite Of prejudice, Its
use became popular. The trees from
which it was obtained were gradually
being used up and the drug became
expensive.
In 1860 Sir Clement Markham Or
ganized an expedition to Peru to col
lect plants of the cinchona with the
idea Of introducing their culture into
India, where it was thought they
would grow we'll and where the use Of
the drug would be beneficial in view
of the climatic conditions being so con-
ducive to fever.
