* Two years ago one of Uncle Sam's soldiers filed on a 40-acre home
‘ stead adjoining the town of Powell, Wyoming. By applying his time
1 served in the Army, this homesteader has now made final proof. He
has p id out only *500.00 of the ten payment plan, towards water
S rights and improvements, and has just refused a *3000.00 offer for his
40-acre farm.
This illustrates the the value of irrigated fcrms under Government
Canals in the Big Horn Basin.
YOUR CHANCE SOON
More of this same kind of land will be opened soon to entry. The
Ralston Unit is already platted and 12 miles more of the main canal is
more than half finished by the contractors. If you want to get one of
these rich Government prizes send me your name and address for my
mailing list aud I will notify you as fast as new tracts will be supplied
with water. The next one will be announced very soon.
NEW FOLDER: The new Shoshone Project folder contains a map of
the Big Horn Basin, plats of the Garland, Powell and Ralston irrigat
ed lands, several farm scenes and two beautiful pictures of the Sho
ts shone Dam. It is yours for the asking. Write today for particulars

BOUNDARY MARKS
Limits a Fiery Orator Once Gave
the United States.
THE CANADIAN LINE FENCE
Monument* That Cleave the Two
Countries West From the Lake of the
Woods—Irregularities in 8tats and
County Boundaries.
The fate* of empires and of dynas
ties have been involved in the struggle
for boundaries. The figment that the
Rhine was the natural frontier of
France ended in the downfall of the
Bona partes and the exaltation of the
Ilohenzollerns, thus rearing the neo
German empire upon the ruins of the
upstart French empire.
In our own country the cry of “Fif
ty-four-forty or fight!" held a threat
of the mighty conflict that eventually
proved irrepressible. And in our own
day the dispute, over the Venezuelan
boundary nearly precipitated a war
between the two greatest nations of
the earth.
It was a startling figure of speech,
that of the western orator who. mount
ing higher and higher to a climax of
buncombe, described the United States
ns bounded on the eust by the Atlantic
ocean, on the north by the aurora bo
realis, on the west by the setting sun
and on the south by the gates of hell.
Still, It was only a figure of speech.
Canada lies between us and the boreal
aurora. The Latin American states
to the south hardly deserve the Infer
nal comparison. As to the oceans to
the east and the west of us, they may
be left to themselves. Not mine the
task of determining what the wild
waves are saying.
The Canadian boundary presents its
idiosyncrasies and eccentricities. The
eusteru part of it follows naturally
and spontaneously the regular water
line formed by the great lakes and
their outlets. Thence from the Lake
of the Woods on the north of Minne
sota a more direct course, man made
and mechanical, Is taken through the
wilderness and over the mountains of
the west to the Pacific coast. Nor has
this course been suffered to remain a
mere imaginary line. Man, having
made it, has marked it well. Between
the Lake of the Woods and the Red
river cast iron pillars have been
placed one mile apart alternately by
the English and the American govern
ments. These are hollow castings in
pyramidal form eight feet high, with
a base eight Inches square, an octa
gon flange one inch thick and a top
four Inches square surmounted by a
solid cap.
Into these hollow posts are fitted
well seasoned cedar joists, with spikes
driven through holes made in the east
ing. The pillars are firmly imbedded
In the ground. Inscriptions In raised
letters face north and south. The
north side reads, “Convention of Lon
don;" the other, “October 20, 1818.”
Beyond the Red river the boundary
line is generally denoted by earth
piounds aud stone cairns 7 by 8 feet,
though these are occasionally diversi
fied by wooden posts of the same
height as the Iron pillars and painted
red nbove ground. Through forests
clearings have been made a rod wide.
Where bodies of water are crossed
monuments of stone rise several feet
above high tide. Over the mountains
shafts of granite supersede the pillars,
mounds and calms.
There are eccentricities In state
lines as well as In those which limit
the confines of the United States.
Thus the line that separates Delaware
from Pennsylvania (Newcastle and
Chester counties respectively) sudden
ly curves npward and forms a semi
circle just nbove the ancient town of
Newcastle.
The explanation mny be found in
history. At the time Delaware was
set out there were few points of Inti
tule and longitude definitely estab
llshed In the colonies, so that bound
nries were generally expressed not by
latitude and longitude, but by refer
ence to some known location. In the
deed by which Delaware was trans
ferred there was ceded all the land for
twelve miles round Newcastle, togeth
er with certain other areas. In estab
llshing the boundaries of the present
state of Delaware this description was
taken literally, and part of a circle,
with the center at Newcastle, was sur
veyed upon a twelve mile rudlus.
No other state has an arc in its
boundary line, but many of the coun
ties of Kentucky and Tennessee do.
Warren county, Tenn.» is almost a com
plete circle. In many Instances coun
ties formerly circular have been ex
panded Into irregular polygons—Wil
liam S. Walsh in New York Tribune.
The Diminutive.
At tbe age of three Janet was an en
thusiastic student of entomology. One
day she discovered a caterpillar for
herself, a very tiny one. “Ob, come
here!" she called. “Here's a caterpil
lar, the cutest little tiny thing! I be
lieve it's a klttenplllar!” — Woman’s
Home Companion.
A Hard Ona.
“Of what famous novel are you re
minded by the extra charge rich people
are willing to pay for the privilege of
riding on a special flier!"
“Gee, that's too continuous for me.
What’s the answer?"
“ ‘Vanity Fare,’ of course.”—St. Louia
