IRRIGATED LANDS AT FT WASHAKIE TO GO ON SALE September 22 Set as Date for Dis- posal of 115 Tracts of 40 to 160 Acres Each in Fre- mont County (Special to The Tribune) CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. s. sale of 115 tracts of irrigated land, im- proved and unimproved, September at Fort Washakie, Fremont county. These tra of land, says Mr. Hill, cénsists of 40 to 160 acres, the aver- age appraised value for irrigable land, unimproved is 50 to $40 per acre; irrigable agricultural, improved, $57.50 and grazing $10 to $ per acre, The land is nearly all under the government irrig system, which onstructed at a cost of ap- million and a quarter . These lands are situated in mont county, Wyoming, from one to forty miles from Lander and River- ton, Hudson, raphoe, on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad and consist mainly of valley and bench or uplands covered with a growth of native grasses and sage brush. The region has an average altitude ranging from 4,800 to 5,000 feet. It is surrounded on the north, west and southwest by the Owl creek and the Wind River ranges of mountains and is on one of the highways to the Jack- son's F and the Yellew- stone famous’ for big game ad scenery cejlent crops of} wheat, sugar beets, oats, barley, al-| fa, timothy and other grasses are own by irrigation.

The era of greater healthfulness that has come to the nation in the last two decades is largely due to the near eli- mination of water-borne diseases.

Of the millions who| drink from the hydrants of the citien | very few appreciate the fact that ry! cup of water drunk every day in ev. city has been specially treated to. make} it safe and wholesome. The story of the method of this treatment is a re- mance of science, | A hundred years ago little was done toward purifying the water furatshed| for drinking purposes to those wao lived in the cities of the world. A hun-} dred years ago plague stalked over the face of the earth, and in spots where nopulations were concentrated it ran through the masses and took an un- thinkable toll. Light is Bad for Germs In those days the one tendency to-! ward the purification of drinking v ter came about almost by accident. When water is stored in a reservoir the suspended particles in jt sink to’ the! bottom and carry down a large per- centage of the germs that infest the water. Water standing in the sunlight tends to purify itself because in light) the conditions for propagating germ life are not favorable.

SHERIDAN, Wyo., Aug. 2.— “Whacha doin?” demanded Jimmie Johns; aged 9, as he popped his head from a hole on the bank of Big Goose creek and observed men who were dragging the stream for his body. The dragging operations promptly were abandoned. A report that Jimmie had been drowned while bathing in the creek was carried to his home by ‘John- nie Smith, a companion, who saw Jimmie dive into the creek and fali to reappear. A party was organized at once to get the supposed corpse out of the stream. As a matter of fact, Jimmie had failed to reappear within the view of Johnnie because he had been seized by larger boys and dragged around a bend in the er 1 PURE ic J.

(United Press)— ‘That the reported burning’ of jails, raids and other acts of violence by the Sinn Feiners in Ireland itself is only a minor] part of the campaign for the freedom of the Emerald Isle and that the real work—the appeal to the world—is be- ing directed from London and:perhaps from within the very shadow of the Scotland Yard detective headquarters itself Is the growing belief hero. The impression that the Sinn Feiners have selected London as their head- quarters is caused by the fact that lo- cal business men and leading citizen recently have received through the English mails much Sinn Fein pro- paganda. One prominent business man of Montreal received a copy of the Sinn Fein publication “Young Ireland” of the date of April 17. He had only taken up his residence at the address to wifich tht paper was mailed two months ago and this gives a fair idea of how wide awake Sinn Fein agents are, both in Canada and in London. The paper had been carefully folded in- wide an innocent looking copy of the London News and was postmarked London, June 28, 6:30 p. m. In addition to some matter in Gaelie Wwhfch the recipient was unable to translate, the paper had a leading artt- cle headed “A Victory for Ireland.” It evidently referred to the success of the Sinn Feiner hunger-strike at Mount Joy and Wormwood Scrubbs prisons when the English were compelled to lib- erate the Irish prisoners when on the verge of death from starvation. It reads In part; “The undaunted and indomitable spirit of the Irish nation has triumphed over the most brutal, the most callous, the most debased tryafny that has ever degraded the name of civilization. Ireland's glorious victory was won by the entire Irish people. Lying at death's door, surrounded by the might of the Empire, one hundred fearless men flung defiance at their tortures, one hundred mothers of these brave men encouraged their sons to persevere in their great struggle —_ Foreign manufacturers expo.ting’ their wares to China cannot be too particular in regards to, the design and colors of the labels plac+l on their goods.

CHICHEST ie y ER S PILLS Ere asd which led to filtering the drinking sup- ply of the English metropolis. The principle upon which he worked domi- nated efforts toward water purifica- tion for 75 years, and is still an impor- tant item in that work. Simpson dem- onstrated the ddvisability of filtering water through sand. This princi »sl:, much more highly developed, is still largely in use. Many of the reservors which hold the water supplies of towns and cities throughout the United States have a carefully arranged sieve of sand in their bottoms. Building one of these sieves {sgn good deal like constructing a paved street. First there is a ayer of broken rocks, then another of sinaller size, and still a smaller one, until fi- nally there is a thick layer of sand on top. When water is first put into a reser voir with a bottom of this sort tLe sieve is not very effective. Even in clear water, however, there is certain material which this sand removes. The strained out impurities of the water make a sort of sum, which js called ;chmutzdecke by the scientists, the erm meaning dirt cover, from the Ger- man. This dirt cover makes the sand sieve’ ffective. When the Conditions are just right such a sieve will remove 99 per ent of the germs from any water. and make it comparatively safe for rink: ing purposes. Until near the close of the past century the development of sanitary water supplies was based upon this principle. Twenty-five years ago an American took hold of this principle and devel-|i oped what is known as the rapid sand filtration, or American method. The old scheme required too much space for the spreading out of the sand sieves. The American method substituted a tank for the reservoir method, and provided for the cleaning of the sana sieve. Within the tanks which one sees on the high ground back of any American city is one of these rapid sand sieves. Into this tank a chemical has been introduced to take the place of the schmutzdecke. This chemical) is nothing more than alum. In all water there is a certain amount of) lime, and when alum comes ,into con- tact with it a precipitate is formed which converts the sand into an ef- fective germ strainer. Current Works Both Ways Only a given amount of water, how- eter, can be run through this strainer until the sand becomes so full of im- purities that it ceases to function ef- fectively. Here, however, the Ameri- can method meets the emergency. By a clever appliance the current of water ay 2 9 Jeashed @ipon English and ‘when the beginning of the greatest or-}ton. ‘These men will have charge of} OF QUALITY ALWAYS ror of the war was perpetrated.
