Rapids. »| before congress began to make ap- propriations for irrigation. Itis less than fifteen years since Senator Carey of Wyoming was nearly Jaugbed out of the United States senate because he wanted an approprirtion toinvestigate irriga- tion, , He was asked if he wanted to “water” his own sagebush. But since that time millions have been expended on various reclama- tion projects until today irrigation is one of the leading questions. of the day. ¢ Up to the close of the. fiscal year $34,270.000 has been made available for irrigation purposes. Contracts call for the expenditure for upward of $23,970,000 for complet- ing these projects and the land to hex reclaimed and made valuable for agri- culture is 960,000 acres. If these vast sums are to be ex- pended tw carry water onto arid lands, the. question naturally arises why is it not just as proper and for the jnterests of the general good to reclaim the large area of swamp lands in several states where im- mense tracts are inundated? Minnesota, 1t is understood, is to take the lead in asking for federal appropriation to reclaim the govern- ment land within the boundaries of the state. There are several other states in the south and southwest that will join with Minnesota. DRAINAGE OF INDIAN LANDS A Washington news report gives some interesting information relative to drainage of Indian lands by the government. For several years, antedating 1901, congress has been quite liberal in providing for irrigation of Indian lands. In 1901 the sum of $100,000 was ap- propriated fur the purpose of con- structing ditches and reservoirs, pure chasing tools and materials and se- curing water rights on United States Indian reservations. In 1902 this amount was Increased to $150,000, and a like sum was voted in 1903, and in 1904 the amount was increased to $185,000, where it now stands. It 1s rather a coincidence that on the same page of the session aws, where large sums are ap- propriated fot irrigation purposes on Indian lands, there are provisions providing for assisting the Red Lake Indians of Minnesota to dispose of hundreds of thousands of acres of swamp lands, which are practically worthless and will always remain so until drained. | This question of the drainage of | government lands, which are con- tinually inundated, is just as certain to come forward for congress to deal with as was the irrigation pro- position. It required many -years of hard work, much patience, the expenditure ofa large sum of money, the main- tenance of a permanent neadquarters all the year around in Washington Lost—Gold charm of circular de- ‘sign with monogram “A R” engraved thereon.

Tapley, of Cass Lake, ought to have all the money that one man is entitled to within a year or two. He is the inventor of a piece of mechanism that should yield a for- tune, if it will do the work for which it is intended—and Mr. Tayley says it will. The macbine is calculated to be placed on street cars and railroad cars where it will perform a duty now assigned to brakemen and conductors |’ —that of announcing stations and streets. Upon leaving one statjon or Street the next is announced on a dial in the front end of the car. Stopping of the train between regular stations will make no difference in the correct, announcements. It does not. matter whether the next regular station is:2 or 20 miles distant. It works auto- matically either by steam or elec- tricity, and from the time it is placed on a car it does not require winding up, changing or other interference by the hand of man. It works going and coming just the same. Many ques- tions will naturally be asked by one who sees the invention fur the first time, and the many apparently im- possibilities that it will perform are certainly marvelous when explained by the inventor. It bas been pat- ented in the United States and pat- ents will be taken out by Mr. Tapley in all the civilized foreign countries. He has already been offered large sums of money for the right to use it by certain transportation companies and manufacturers, but as yet he has not sold any interest in it. Mr. Tap- ley was in Grand Rapids last Sunday and displayed photographs of the ma- chine to a number of friends.

State Immigration Bureau. The creation of a state immigra- tion bureau is beginning to bear fruit. Inquiries at the office of state auditor who is also state land coms particularly as to those state lands to be offered for sale in numerous counties during the next six months are constantly increasing and come from all ‘parts of this country and a direct result of the work under- taken by the bureau of immigration and the liberal advertising which the bureau has given Minnesota’s advantages. The work of the bureau has only begun however, and it will within the next few years bring thousands of settlers to the state and hasten the development of the state’s tremendous resources very mater- ially.—Bewidji Pioneer.
