WHERE WILL THEY BEGIN? Wyoming May Get the First Benefit of Irrigation Legislation. There has been much speculation as to where the actual work of con- structing reservoirs and ditches un- der the new irrigation law will be begun. There are but few points where the surveys and’ specifica- - tions have been completed, so that contracts Gould be let this summer. Arizona claims three such places, dut it is wholly unlikely that any work will be done there this sea- son. A territory will have to. stand back and wait until some state has the first chance. The practical work of building irrigating works 13 now a matter of administration to be passed upon by the officials of the interior department, and there will be a good deal of manip- ulation to secure the first advan- tages of the law. Even Colorado has slight chance to have any share of the blessings of the work to be done this season. for her senators and representatives are in the op- position, and they have already made up their minds that they will have to wait awhile:before they get any irrigation work under head- way in thoir state. The same is true of Idaho. — It is possible that several small eon- tracts will be surveyed and let for reservoirs in Nebraska this sum- mer, but nothing extensive will be started there this year.’ Wyoming, however, seems slated for some ex- tensive work under the new irriga- tion policy. . Senator Warren, of that state, has been a most active advocate of the new law, and has a strong grip on the administrative force that will haye direction of the work to be taken up. The night before the president left Washington for Pittsburg Sen- ator Warren dined with him, for the express purpose of discussing the practical way of setting the new system in operation, as pro- vided by the new law. The senat- or’s practical knowledge of the western country, and especially of the opportunities for storing water in his own state to be used on the Jands of Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska, has undoubtedly been drawn upon to arrange the first program of work by the bureau of irrigation. Wyoming . can be counted on to have the first impe- tus of the new irrigation system. It means much to the state in the way of development of present re- sources, also in immigration, and with the consequent growth of cities and towns and the building of railroads and opening of new mining property. The situation may serve to set Wyoming far ahead of other mountain states for years to come.—The W: ashington ‘Times. eaten To Protect Alaska Game. The supervising special agent of the Treasury sent out instructions to special agents yesterday, direct- ing them to co-operate wherever possible’ with’ the officers of the Agricultural Departmentand other branches of the. Federal service in enforcing the new law for the protection of ganie in Alaska, This measure, which ‘is broad and comprehensive in character, was passed at the late session of Congress. President Roosevelt expressed special interest in the ~ bill, und it was largely through his influence that.the measure was ~ pushed through both branches of $4000,000 to the poor of that city. It has been reported that the ae: Railroad company yong its employes at the atin. “Yo stop all from exchanging kisses Eleven lives “were lost in a tor- nado which visited Baltimore, Md., last Saturday afternoon.

A cloud burst.poured a river of water four feet in depth through the town of Plattsmouth Nebraska on the 17th inst., taking with it everything movable: . A serious land slide occurred north of the town, completely blockading the Burlington _ tracks. The total damage is estimated at $200,000. An insane man whose name is thought to be Harry’S. Kane, en- tered the New York Foundling asylum and shot Sister Serella in the left breast aid Sister Angela in the fleshy part of the right arm. Kane then ran into the grounds of the asylum and shot himself in the breast. ~ Sister Serella is not ex- pected to live. In Chicago on the seventeenth an electric storm accompanied by a high wind, did damage estimated at thousands of dollars to property in various parts of the city.

Ninteen deserters from the Ameri- ean warship San Francisco are at large in London, many of them in full - uniform, unconcernedly promenading the Strand. What is possibly the most inter- esting historic buildings in San Francisco, the old two-story struct- ure on Sacramento street, between Davis and Front streets, that served as headquarters for the vigilance committee of 1856, is be- ing partly torn down, says the San Francisco Call of July 3. It will be rebuilt and its-identity so lost in the structure that its historic interest will be forever lost. The body of David Merriell, es- caped convict and:murderer, was taken to the Oregon penitentiary by Mrs. Mary Waggoner, who found the body near Chehalis. Mrs. Waggoner made a formal de- mand for the reward of $1,500. A London, Ung., - diapateh a I Saturday says: A dispatch from Milan to the Daily T clegraph re- ports the araest at Bra, near Tu- rin, of a young barber'who recent- ly arrived from Paterson, N. J. The prisoner, who gives his name as Tonetti, which is believed to be assumed, confesses that he is an anarchist. Papers seized at his domicile include, correspondence with Paterson anarchists, the doc- netti’s intention to assassinate King Victor Emmanuel, who frequently traverses the Bra in a motor car y.,7o\ the-way.to his private estate. A London dispatch of the 20th inst. says: John W, Mackay of San Francisco, who has been suf- fering from heat gyre: since Tuesday last, died at his résidence at Carlton house terrace, at 6:30 o’clock thisevening. Mr. Mackay’s condition, as stated yesterday, had improved, but the patient hada bad night and this morning a con- sultation was held by three phy- sicians. Mr. Mackay grew worse as the day progressed. He was unconscious most of the time and died very peacefully. The imme- diate cause of his death was heart failure. The right lung was found to be conjested and the symptons indicated pneumonia. Mrs. Mack- ey, her mother and the Countess Telfener were present with Mr. Mackey when he died,and Princess Galitro Colona arrived from Paris half an hour after her step-father’s death. een amma cee neem Absent-Mindedness. Is absent-mindedness indicative of mental failure? This question is suggested by such facts as the large number of unaddressed let- ters posted each yet. An Eng- lish contemporary cites in evidence the official list of articles left in one year in the London cabs and omnibuses. It includes 850 canes, 19,000 umbrellas, 267 rugs, 742 opera glagses, 926 articles of jewel- ry, 180 watches, 3,239 purses, be- sides birds, dogs, cats, etc. The list seems like a pretty se- vere indictment of the mental qual- ities of the modern city dweller, and if the hard-pressed newspaper reporter happens to see it he will undoubtedly send off a harrowing syndicate letter to all the Sunday editors on this alarming demon- stration of mental degeneracy of the twenticth century man. Even our medical contemporary suggests the advisability of those who ride in omnibuses and who ~ forget things of consulting a physician. The more marvelous theng. how- ever, 1s that they do not forget more often than they do. Civili- zation has suddenly increased a thousandfold the necessary and | synchronous~ preoccupation of the mind. Singleness of attention was the predominant characteristic of mental action before our time of bewildering interests and duties. Not to have learned the trick of posing in the attention at one in- stant stich a multitude of objects is certainly not a demonstration of mental failure, but rather of non- requirement of a difficult art. But the more convincing proof of the actual triviality of the amount of forgetfulness is shown by the comparison of the, number of memory slips of the Londoner with the number who ride in omni- buses and other public éarriages. Let us double the number of lost articles and put the total at 50,000; if we now roughly estimate the number of rides each day in Lon- don as at least on the average one for each twentieth citizen we cal- culate that in a year there are sure- ly ag many as 100,000,000 trips made. Consequently, on the aver- age a person forgets sonié article once in about every 2,000 trips taken. The alarmist adviser of consul- tation of an alienist for such fail- Superintendent Lee declined to pay it, offering her $300 for her trouble and expenses. Mrs. Wag- goner refused the amount and made a written demand for the full reward.

For thirty years they heard nothing of him, and but a few days ago took steps to learn of his movements after the killing of an Indian chief in 1870. A sister wrote to Secre- tary of State Geo. M. Hays. R.N. Cummins, late captain in the United States army and com- mander of. scouts and mounted in- fantry, tells this story of Farwell’s later life: “In 1870 Farwell was employed as trader for Durfee & Peck at Ft. Baford, D. T. He was attacked by Indians near Buford in the fall of 1870. In the fight an Indian chief by the name of Long Mandan was killed, and his brother, known as Lean Bear, a Mandan scout be- longing to my command of scouts, was desperately wounded, and Far- well'was badly wounded. I charged upon the Indians with my com- mand of sixty scouts, rescued Far- well and took him to the hospital, where he recovered and went back to Fort Peck and took charge of a trading post. ‘Afterwards he was relicved at Fort peck and put in charge of the Durfee & Peck trading post at Ft. Belknap. He was there about one year and was relieved by Colonel Wheeler. Farwell then went to Cypress mountains for the compa- ny and was there one year. He afterward came to. Fort Benton, and from there came to the Crow reservation and lived on the reser- vation near the Rosebud, where he had allotted land. “He was taken sick and was re- moved to Billings and died there, and is buried in the cemetery at Billings.. Soon afterward his wife died. He had two danghters and one son. His son, Rosebud Far- well, is well: educated and lives on country, in the ceded district of the Crow reservation, “IT knew Abel Farwell and I know that he died a natural death, being in command of United States troops at the time he was supposed to have killed a. Long Mandan chief. A man in his employ killed a Long Mandan. His name was Henry Hinkle, a late soldier. Hin- kle shot also Lean Bear, one of ny scouts. I saw the fight he had with the Indians from beginning to end.”’ Another version is given by S. F. Morse, an old-timer, who now resides in Billings. He seems to think there was something irregu- lar about the death. Mr. Morse says in part: You will probably call to mind the death of Abel Farwell, which occurred abotit 1886 at his ranch or allotment, on which the the Sile- sia brewery now stands, and under peculiar circumstances indicating poisoning. I presume his demise isa matter of record in this county, as there was an inquest held. “I think John Smith (Red-eyed John) succeeded to his squaw and her allotment. | Mary, the squaw, died a few years ago. Three chil- dren survive. A son lives on Rose- bud creek, Carbon county; Susan is married and resides near Rock- vale, Carbon county; Ella married an Indian named Crane and lives on the reservation.” W.G. Hamilton, a former scout well known in the Northwest, who now resides at Columbus, télls this story of what he knew of the life of Farwell: “Twas well acquainted with him while he was employed by the Northwestern Fur company at Ft. Peck as a trader. He was justi- fied in putting that Indian to sleep, as they were a turbulent and arro- gant outfit in those days, they hav- ing a thorough contempt for pale faces. The mildest term they had for a white man was “dog of a pale face.’ “Abel Farwell married a River Crow squaw, moved to Clark Fork river, Carbon county, located on a fine ranch, improved same arid died in 1888‘ and was buried on a knoll in the vieinity of the ranch.

A fresh demonstration: of ‘the possibilities of wireless telegraphy and a chess match unlike any ever played before were the features of the voyages of the steamers Campania and Philadelphia, which arrived here yesterday from England. On Tuesday June 10 Mr. Gannon, the operator on the Campania, discovered that the Philadelphia was only seventy miles ahead and in range. It was in the forenoon. — Tired of ping- pong, the passengers on the Cam- pania were cudgeling their minds for some other form or amusement which should have novelty. Why not a game of chess with the passengers on the Philadelphia? It was no sooner suggested than the operator was asked to call up the Philadelphia and propose it. The | Philadelphia’s passengers were at Iuncheon when the niess- age was received. It was read as they sat aronnd the tables, and it was decided to accept the challenge. At 2:30 p. m. the game was be- gun. Paul Ginther was the Cam- pania’s champion. Several passengers undertook to uphold the! colors of the Phila- delphia. Apphrently it was a’case of “too many cooks,” for Mr. Ginther had his opponents hard pushed when a halt was called for dinner the game was resumed, but the approach of the Locania, traveling in the opposite diréction, made it necessary to give way to business messages. It was con- ceded that Mr.Ginther would have checkmated his opponents in a few moré moves. The two ships while the game was going on were seventy miles apart, and over 100 moves were m Mr. Ginther -had'a hard tinie watching for-the little eatch moves which his opponents kept sending him, and was nearly caught on the College mate.—New York Tribune.
