SENATOR MANDIRSON ON THE SUBJECT "irpmf I'rrfprrncJ'i lint MitKKritii Hint I. ii ml I in I litr- li IrrlKiili; i) II III Hp Cltrn llirr to (Jrii.liiK. Tho meetlug ot tlio senators and repre sentatives of Nebraska and Wyoming to bo held In Omaha ..'.omlay will consider mut ters of great Importance to tlio west. The meeting l.i of greater importance by reason of tlio fact that tho conclusions reached 'will bo submitted to tho members of con gress In all of tho states west ot tho Mis souri river for consideration, so thnt, espe cially upon the question of government aid to Irrigation, tho senators und representa tives may stand is a unit. Kpcaklng of tlu meeting (icncral C. 1. Manderson sayv "Tho meeting was called ot the Instance of Senators Millard and Dietrich, the last named gentleman being particularly dr. elrous of tho consultation, so that on nil mibjrrts relating to public lands and Irri gation tho delegations of the two states might bo In acc ird. "My only mission In tho matter was to Blvo theso gentlemen n plnco whore they could meet with some peaco nnd quiet and be fairly well entertained while here, Kor that reuBon they wcro Invited to meet ot tho Omaha club and I prcsumo will spend most of tho day In consultation over these Important subjects. My presence was de sired becauso when In tho Bcnatc I had given much tlmo and thought to questions of this character connected with tho west and particularly tho statu of Nebraska. I see by a local paper that my purpose was to attempt tho passago or favorablo consid eration of an Irrigation bill that I had In troduced In tho senato nnd which was de feated. Nothing con bo farther from tho truth than this statement. I nover Intro duced an Irrigation bill In tho senate that was defeated nnd I liuvo no personal or private object to gain In tho meeting, nor has t,li railroad with which I am connected ny purposo whatever except that which Is for tho best good of this stnto nnd will in duce Its speedy settlement. Object of Irrigation. "Dotween ten nnd eleven million acres of laud In tho stnto of Nebraska be long to tho government and n popu lation that onco settled upon parts ot them years ago were starved out nnd loft the country. I nm strongly In favor of Irrigating every foot of land that can bo brought under ditch nnd enro not whether It Is dono by tho federal govern ment, tho stato government or prlvato parties, Just so that It can bo ac complished, Whcro land cannot bo Irri gated and whero it is Impossiblo to bring it under ditch It Is fit for grazing pur posos and to utilize It It must bo leased or sold In bodies largo enough to permit Its legitimate use. Tho first step to take, whether tho lands remain with tltlo In tho United States government or arc trans ferred to tho state, Is to dlvldo them Into lands that ore agricultural nnd lands that nro pastoral. Dy agricultural lands Is meant thoso that have a sufficient natural rainfall to permit cultivation, or else lands that can bo brought under n system ot reservoirs with ditches and water thus placed upon thorn so that thoy will grow crops. The present land laws of the country wero framed for settlement on lands that It Is not necessary to reclaim by tho processes of Irrigation. In cast am Nebraska and all tho country cast ot tho Missouri river tho rainfall Is sufficient so that crops can be grown with out artificial water, but In the western part ot Kansas, Nebraska nnd Wyoming for a man to tako ICO acres ot Innd whcro thcro Is no rainfall nnd expect to rolso crops and suoport himself nnd family Is limply suicidal and tho invltntlon of tho government extended to Its citizens for them to tako lands so situated Is simply an Invitation to starvation. Tno AV'njK Are Oprn. "Tho ncedB of tho stato at this tlmo for Increase of population and tho production of matorlal wealth (already large, but sub ceptlblo of vast Increase) are: Irrigation of lands capable of being placed under ditch, tho utilization ot land sultablo for grazing and tho growth of forests. Tho supply ot thesa needs cannot bo had under existing laws and tho result desired cau only bo reached by somo measuro that will turn tho public lands ovor to the state, With fair restrictions upon their disposi tion by loaso or sale, or tho digging of aitchcs and the construction ot storage reservoirs by tho federal government. "In tho early days ot tho transmlssourl country, when large bodies of arable land, uscoptlblo of cultivation without Irriga tion, wcro open to settlers, tho land laws at the United States, especially tho home iteud and pre-emption acts, were all thnt wero needed and accomplished much good. Thousands of families, founded happy and prosperous homes, and towns and villages iprung up like mug In and grew apace. Hull roads extended their lines nnd grldlroned the country. Tho numorous land offices did an actlvo business. Tho success of tho Drat settlers, who occupied tho eastern halt of the stato, tempted many others to oc cupy lands that were unfit for settlement, under the limitations and restrictions ot the homestead and pre-emption laws, In tho western half. The lot of tho frontiersman who made this experiment was a most un bappy one. "Tho results of this untoward experi ment, nnd the exodus that resulted from It. wero Injurious not only to Nebraska, but to tho country at large, and tho Ills wcro emphasized by similar conditions In adjoining slates. it was an experiment that will not bear and should not hovo repetition. May Outline .IHImi. "I presume that tho Joint delegations of the two states will, after they havo delib erated, conio to somo conclusion that will bo submitted to other western congress men, and I hope that the entire west will bn united In an effort to utilize, these lands that are now wasted and bringing no rev enue cither to tho United States or to the state. If congress can bo Induced to ap propriate the Immonsa sum, running Into many millions, to build reservoirs and con itruct ditches nnd dispose of tho lands thus reclaimed In small quantities to actual set tlers, no ouo will rejoice moro than I will, but at the same time wo are bound to ! recognize tho fact that a largo majority ' of eastern and southern congressmen are opposed to using tho federal funds In that fashion. Tho last session of congress In which I served In the senate I Introduced a bill providing for tho cession of alt tho lands of Nebraska to the stato and that the stato Itself might enter upon tho reclaim ing of the lands nnd their disposal. Th3 same bill was Introduced repeatedly after I left the tcnate by Senator Thurston, nnd received not only his approval, but that of Senator Allen. I bellevo the bill would havo become a law during the last few years had It not been that the legislation Incident to tho war with Spain nnd our territorial acquisitions rendered It almost Impossible to have bills of that character considered. "Mr. Klwood Mead, I ho Irrigation expert In chargo of the Department of Agricul ture, has been Invited to meet with the j congressional delegation and I havo re- celved a letter from him stating that ho will be present," 111 the Wheeling World Aii nnnrniirh tn settled wheeling weather ' down east has already demonstrated that the bicycle maintains a strong how on public favor. The outpontlng of wheelmen nnd women Is tlio rlbject of comment In tho press, particularly of tho largo cities, nnd Is generally regarded ns evidence of n marked revival In tho delightful pastime, llercnhotitn tho weather has been so un certain nnd unfavorable! that tho extent of the revival Is not yet measurable. Hut It casts Its shadows before. Tho number of new bicycles nnd old ones equipped wltli modern Improvements to bo scon cn tlio strcots and highways nro pretty gocd symptoms of what to expect when the Benson Is wldo open, Much speculation lias been Indulged In luring tho past threo months ns to the probabilities of tho blcyclo trudo for the present year. Dosed solely upon facts, the statements that the nggrcgnto snlo of American bicycles will bo from 23 to M',4 per cent larger this year than was that of lIMjo may bo safely accepted by tho most conservative trade critics. Further than this, the demand from nil quartern for the highest grade of wheel Is to a most fcutls factory extent largely In excess of mich demand In 19Q0. More $5tf wheels and fewer $2T wheels of tlio chain type, nnd from 20 to 23 per cent moro chnlnlcss wheels, will be sold this year than tins been the caso since ' thoso two grades wcro adopted ns standard, or since the advent of the chalnless machine. These arc tho facts, ns nearly as hey can bo arrived at by chanco orders re ceived from blcyclo agents throughout the country. As to tho causes, they aro easily nrrlved nt by thoso who have watched cycle trade developments for tho past two years, and who know something of tlio plans of tho leading manufacturers for the coming season. A racing man whoso namn Is familiar all across tho country made an Interesting statement recently. Ho Is a man now 27 years old, nnd has been an attraction on circuit tracks slnco ho was IS years of age. Ho had been talking about record-breaking, and was asked whether It was duo to tho riders, tho tracks, or tho wheels that tho records went lower every year. Ho re plied: "Why. It Is tho comhlnntlnn nf nvrrv. thing. Tho men nro wiser In training mcmous nnn more proucient in track Gen eralship; tho tracks nro banked higher, and not only hold moro Kneed, hut fnn'p. nml wheels nro bettor mado and run faster every year. Ho was then asked how much he thought tho wheels really had to do with It. His uiiswcr was: "The Improvement In wheels each year has a great deal moro to do with tho mak ing of new records than Is generally sup posed. Take myself, for exnmnlc T -r. talnly nm not us spry ns I was a few years ko, yei i manago to ride faster each sea son and keep In tho main bunch fairly well. 1 know that every year my wheel Is faster. The tires aro being mado better, tho con struction of tho wheels, spokes nnd rims, I mean, nro Improved Just a llttlo each year, but enough to mnko them more resilient, nnd that means moro speedy. The bearings nro finished and lifted moro perfectly; tho chains and sprockets nro harder, more truo and moro smoothly llnlshed. All thesa things mean that tho machines run easier. Then, too, tho framo lines havo been Im proved, and oven that counts. These points do not (.com to nmount to much to the or dinary road riders who tako out their old crocks three or four years old. Thoy hear talk of -better finish,' 'higher efflebney,' 'Improvement of details,' and to on and think Is It tradesman's guff, but the racing men know better. You don't catch tho crack riders nt any time with a last ve.ir's wheel. A new wheel means new speed to them and they hnve to get them. Talk about blcyclo Improvement being at a halt tii i a rnelng man and ho will laugh at yau. There has not been a year when tho stand ard zed American wheels have not been easier running nnd better all around than In tho previous year. A now wheel means seconds on tho track to a racing man. . nd It means m.ich rosier going on tho road for every rider. If they only knew It, but they don t." ' A writer In the League of American Wheelmen Mngnzlno thus discourses on night sounds thnt woo tho cycler: "To n dweller In tho crowded haunts of men a ramble over tho country at night Is both entertaining and Instructive. Accustomed as ho Is to Innumerable sounds, the city man Is nt llrst appalled by the mysterious Intensity of tho night stillness of the coun try. This stillness Is, however, more up. parent than real, and closer observations will disclose tho fnct that It Ib In reality made up of many sounds. "There Is always tho continuous hum ming of myriads of tiny Insects, which, In tho absence of harsher sounds, comes to tho oar like tho roar of a waterfall soft, ened by distance until It Is only a subdusd murmur, but which fills nnd penetrates tho night with such continuous monotony that It partakes largely of tho quality of stlence, ns It does not drown nnd only slightly diminishes other sounds. "Just about twilight tho katydids b.-gln their cndleas argument. Tho metallic chirping of tho crickets Is uninterrupted from tho setting of tho sun to the break of day. It mingles with tho bass croaking of tho frogs nt twilight and tho sound of falling dew ut dawn. This Bame dropping of tho dew forms n fitting tlnnlo to tho night sounds, at, it falls In tiny globules from the branches of the crisp leaves below, making a noise not unlike tho tat- vwn is Universally Accorded wc Preference on account of its High Quality, Economy and Delicious Taste. &oia ai am Bpvy tw..-viyn , um tllng of a handful of dried peas In a baslft, but ever growing fainter and fainter until It ceases entirely under tho Influence of tho rising sun. "The rustling of the underbrush caused by somo small nnlmol Is like the chargo of a troop of cavalry. Twigs which break nnd fall unnoticed during tho day Miap with muskct-IIke reports at night, nnd lull, clattering from limb to limb, to tho ground. "The dismal hooting of on occasional owl does not act ns a nervo tonic, but adds materially to tho sense of loneliness hlcli every city-bred person feels In the coun try. Tho sharp, snappy barkings of tho dogs during tho day gives place to long drawn baying nt night, nnd trembles t.n tho still air In an uncanny way ns It Is echoed from hill to hill." Kdouard Taylore. the Krctich racing cy clist, whose riding behind paco tho past twelvo months has nttracted a great deal of attention abroad, left Krnnco for this country on Friday last. With him will como Chairman A 11. Hachelder of the National Cycling Association Hoard of Control, nnd It Is possible that other for eign cyclists will also nccompany these two. Taylorc, when he rode hero In IMS, did not appear a, wonderful rtder and was lnvnrlnbly defeated by Jimmy Michael each time they met. As Taylorc was nt that tlmo only ID years old It Is possible that ho may have Improved greatly. By his tec ords mado In Franco recently this neems to bo the case. Tnyloro will meet Kikes, Htlnson, Nelson, Wnlthour nnd others In this country. He has never ridden against any of these thus far. Dudley Marks will manago Taylore nnd tnko caro of his juic ing machines and crr-ws. He hns four races scheduled for Taylore, which will take place ns soon as tho cyclist gets Into shape nftcr his arrival. The sudden coming of summer has found most wheelmen unprepared and tho tend ency Is, not unnaturally, to discard all woolen clothes for cotton. Hero a word of warning Is necessary, for cotton or linen next tho body Is an ever-present danger. Perspiration causes tho cotton to become cold and clammy; the possibility of a con sequent chill Is great, and chills uro among tho greatest enemies of tho human race. Tho cricketer nnd tho rowing man adhere to flannels, becnuse they know that they aro cool and safe, and tho samo principle, with modification, should bo followed out by tho rider of tho bicycle, In maintaining the body garments nlwnys of wool. For n time after tho advent of motor carriages It was thought by some that they sealed tho doom of the bicycle, so far as wcro concerned all thoso who could afford to own an automobile. This was short sighted Judgment, however, ns Is now very plnln. At a gathering of fifteen repre sentative automoblllsts recently It was found that all thoso who could afford to own an automobile to ride after becoming chaffeurs. Ono man, a millionaire, whose country sent Is on Ixing Island, whcro there are several hundred miles of cyclo pnths, said thnt ho took up bicycling becauso he found tho exercise did him moro good thnn anything else, nlthough he owns several line snddlo horses, and, besides, he added, he needed the wheel to tnke him places whero neither his horses nor horseless vehicles could go. The fact seems to bo that the horso and the automobllo nnd the blcyclo each has a field of Its own and In no way Interfere with each other. Tho complete stablo of the wealthy man hns all three In It. Thoman Maple, birlibcck, In., writes: "I had a very bad caso of kidney trouble and my back pained mo so I could not straighten up. Tho doctor's treatment did mo no good.

Every season brings us something new In tho culinary line. Many dishes soon lose their novelty, which Is tho only recom mendation they possess, perhaps. In this caso they aro soon forsaken for a now Idea. However, from the various dlsln-s presented, wc always find ono which does not fall Into disfavor, but Increases In popularity from senson to season. Ah rn examplo of this, we have fruit salads. These wore llrst Introduced ns suitable nc companlmenti. to tho gamo courso and wcro generally combined with nuts or celery or both. Then by a slight transformation they were adopted by many as a dessert, playing tho double part of a salad courso und dessort. This Is a very sensible Idea, especially In warm weather, when a hetrty dinner Is served. It Is, however, on tho summer luncheon table where they aro perhups the most appreciated and whcro they can till their doublo mission of salad nnd dessort course. Then, tpo ,they go to well with cold jneuts. Nor are they to bo denied a place on the hot-weather break fast table, as their refreshing colors nnd coolness, ns well as their acid Juices, rec ommend them to Loth eyo and tuste. Of courso when thoy take tho form of a break fast salad they must be served In ns simple a manner as possible, and with tho plain French dressing, unless the salad is to be tho principal dish of the meal, and no meats nro served. Then a mayonnaise dressing or whipped cream may bo used In order to give tho dish n greater food value. To a breakfast fruit palad may bo added sweetbreads, shad roo nnd finely ground nut meats, but nil other meats and nsh nro better served In luncheon salads. Halnds composed of several kinds nre de llclous If tho combination Is carefully made, nnd almost every kind Of fruit Id how. used In this way. Sweet nnd turt fruits, or course, make tho best combinations. Mock 1'lncapplr- Salad Peel threo large, rather sweet npples; cut Into thin slices and with a small round cutter remove tho core. Cover the sllrm nf tho nonles with cold water to keep them from discoloring.) Peel four medium-sized, nrt oranges; trim off the white pulp nnd slice the oranges across tho grain the samo thickness ns the apples. Put slices of apple and oranges togothcr; arrange, theso In pyramid fotm on a glass dish. Reduce some thick mayon naise with tho Juices that drain from tho slices of the orange and pour over tho fruit nnd serve at once, very cold. Let the fruit chill before the mayonnnlxe Is added. Apple and Orapo Fruit Salad-Rcmovo the pulp from ono largo grape fruit In' small pieces; pare, core and chop two large, rather sweet npples fine, l'ut fruit together nnd mix with French dressing. Chill on Ice. Serve In lettuce cups and gar nish with whlto grapes, skinned and cecds removed, and chopped nuts. Pineapple and Celery Salad Peel a small, ripe pineapple, cut out tho eyes und shred; set on Ice until thoroughly chilled; then mix with n. cup of finely-chopped, crisp white celery, nnd a sweet, red pepper cut Into dice. Sprinkle i-er tnla a llttlo French dressing and let Htnnd a few mln-' tltes. Then mix with mayoiumlso and j wnippoii cream aim serve wuu garnisn oi lett'ica leaves nnd nut meats. Strawberry Salad No. 1 To thoso who can not uso cream with strawberries, tho ter ries served In tho form of salad Is very acceptable. There uro various ways of serving them In this form; one way Is lo select lino rlpo fruit, stem anil wash care fully If they aro gritty; then drain nnd chill; arrnngo In smnll cups made of let tuce leaves, tilling partially full; sprinkle lightly with lemon Juice and cover with cream mayonnaise; place on top of each salad a largo annulled berry. Strawberry Salad No. 2 Arrange on a glass dish tliln slices of orange, selecting tho sweet, thin-skinned ones, and do not peel them. On top of tho orange slices pile tho fruit, hulled and washed and wiped dry. Dust with powdered sugar and u Ti tle nutmeg. Just beforo serving throw over the fruit n wineglass or more, according to thn quantity of fruit, of good claret. Fruit Salad No. 1 Tako equal quantity of strawberries, black raspberries and while currants. Arrange tho strawberries In the center In mound shape; place tho raspber ries around theso and the currants around tho raspberries; garnish the dish with leaves and (lowers of nasturtiums Serve with sauce mado by dissolving t. cup of sugar In water enough to tr.fcke a thick syrup, Add to this half n wineglass ot brandy, . wineglass ot chartreuse und a little grated nutmeg. Fruit Salad No. 2 Peel nnd slice sovoral line, rlpo bananas and arrnngo slices on a glass dish; In center of this heap shredded pineapple, flattening the top of tho pyra mid; cap this with line, largo strawberries; sprlnklo with the Juice from tho plno upple, dust with powdered sugar and r.orvo with tho following sauce: Sweet Salad Sauce Beat yolks of four eggs until light and gradually beat In a cup of powdered sugar; add half a tea spoonful of salt. Beat until sugar Is dis solved, then add tho Julco of two lemons. This snuco can be ndded to the salad and kept on Ice for an hour before serving. Apricot SaladPare and cut the apricots In halves, removing the stones. Fill each half with finely chopped nuts; arrnngo In a bed of crisp lettuce, pour ovrr the fruit a llttlo French dressing and serve. Peaches and red raspberries uro l Ice served this wuy. Fruit Sulnd Dressings When the fruit salad Is served with game, uso either a mayonnaise or French dressing; tho sweet dressing Is served with tho salad served ns ft last cojrso at ft luncheon or for a des sert salad at dinner. For tho brcaktusl salad any dressing muy bo used, according to what Is to bo served with tho salad. If the salad takes tho plnco of fruit and cereals It may bo served with sweet dress ing. If It takes the place of a meat tilth mayonnaise may be served -ith It and ulso whipped cream, but If eaten with niunt servo only with fruit Juices or French dressing.
