Miss Jennie Hansen our energetic school marm gave us a surprise last week by announcing her recent marriage to Mr. Aaron Wyberg of North Platte. This was not a leap year match ehher as it took place before New Year's. Well yesterday was a red letter day in our school district. We had a school meeting and it was the usual kind, more chin music than harmony but as a thunder shower is said to clear the atmosphere this school meeting may clear up some social clouds of long standing, as there was some plain talk on all sides but no one hurt. The meet ing was a special one called to elect a director in place of W. S. Yaughan who recently resigned. The nominees were Mrs. M. J. Neary, Mr. A. Scherz, Mr. T. J. Rowley. Mr. Scherz not bein" nominated by a qualified voter with drew, and Mr. T. .G. Rowley was elected as he had 13 votes and Mrs. Neary 7. It was truly inter esting to see so many ladies out to attend a school meeting, and now that the ice is broken in this way I for one hope to see the ladies take more interest in the schools and school affairs. This is the first time the ladies of this Tre- i cmct ever took any active part in the school meetings, and it was probably because there was a lady J rr MC PreS6at dlfect had served for a number of years, ; i 7 T ""Utt "tiug, . uc umea xo run again but. after a short rest from the work tigciu. iu.ii m lu line and take np the work for the good of the school.

Jiiyiwilll I I W started, felt called to warn the peo- pie of the danger ot a loss of their water supply. The state engineer of Colorado, Prof. L. G. Carpenter, of the state agricultural college at Ffc Collins, has been making a series of measurements of the inflow from seepage back into the Cache La Poudre and Platte rivers. In his report he states that as the amount of water is increased by ap- pnuiuvu lvs luc lauus, LiidL luc in flow steadily increases. There is a steady stream of water now flow ing in the Platte river as far east as Ft. Morgan; that the earth acts as a reservoir to hold the water. and it is gradually returned, to the rivers below where it is applied. He states in a report as follows: "As an illustration of the importance of the seepage water, we may mention that in the last measurement of the Poudre river 160 cubic feet per sec ond was being received from the canyon at the toot of the mountains. This was being taken by the canals within the first ten miles, and the bed of the river was dry. Never theless though numerous canals were drawing water, the river at its mouth had 120 cubic feet per second that was being discharged into the Platte. On the Platte, starting in with 800 feet at the mouth of the Poudre, 700 cubic feet were taken out by the canals before Sterling was reached; yet there was 600 feet feet left, or there was this gain coming back into the Platte by seepage." The investigation seems to show that the amount is increasing from year to year, and he gives reasons that the ultimate amount has not been reached. The estimate is made, though as vet not accurately, that from fifty to seventy-five per cent of the water applied finds its wavback into the rivers. Where the rainfall is caught by plowed lands the irri gable water and the rainfall amount to fully ninety-five per cent that is returned to the rivers from where taken. One of the fallacies of our grand fathers as well as ourselves was discussed at the late meetinc of the state horticultural society at Lincoln. 2veb. There has been a theory that has been generally ac cepted, and believed, that the sap of )wn into its roots in the fall and rises in the spring. Recent experiments at different agricultural colleges throughout the country disprove this theory. The sap remains in the bark and body of the tree in winter and does not pass down into the roots. The sap does not run up in the spring. The external warmth calls for more moisture, and the limbs and leaves draw it up. At Cornell university, Y a series of experiments were made to test the sap theory. A hole was cut in the bottom ot a sash, the window was opened and the limb of a tree was drawn in during winter. The opening around the limb was packed with cotton and cork so as to prevent cold from entering. The limb budded and blossomed, while the remainder of the tree outside was dormant: thus flpmnncfrr, tin rr Imf ;r r. t,i -f-- Sl 11 iuuiuuic conditions pre vailed trees would bud and blossom that our grandfathers believed in uui. ui scahun witnout tne san run Freezing the ground thoroughly to the depth of four feet was tried m Colorado with -fruit trees.
