WASHINGTON. March 5.-Speclal.-The
completion of the second 'unit of th Belle
r"ourclie Irrigation project, Houth Dakota,
Is anonunced I r. a public notice Issued by
the secretary of Interior. This makes Im
mediately available for homstead entry 1SJ
choice forty and eight-acre farms.
These farms are open to entry under the
general provisions of trie homestead law
and the reclamation act. After visiting the
latiJ the settler Is required to make his
homestead entry at the local land office
at Kapid City, or before the United Mates
commissioner at Helle Fourche. The home
atead entry must he accompanied by an
I application for' water right. There la no
lottery. In addition to the nominal entry
fee the settler must pay In advance one
tenth of the building charge, or $J per
acre of Irrigable land. A charge Is also
made of 40c per acre per annum for oper
ation and malntalnance. The Initial pay
ment for a forty-acre farm will be about
1142, and for an eighty-acre farm $279. This
Is one ot the lowest-priced water rights
In the west, and It Is expected that every
farm unit will be taken up before May 1.
The Irrigable lands are located In Butte
and Meade counties, north and northeast
of the Black Hills, one of the richest
f gold mining camps In the west.
Militate ana Crops.
The average elevation of the lands under
the Belle Fourche project Is J.8O0 feet above
sea level. The climate Is healthful and
huvlgoratlng. As In other parts of the arid
rflon, the sensible temperature does not
vury greatly, owing to the dryness of the
atmosphere. The soil Is clay loam and
sandy loam, exceedingly fertile and free
from alkali. Fruits, such as apples, cher
A Ties, plums and small fruits do well, espec
tally on the higher portions of the project
near the bluffs, and potatoes produce
abundantly on the south ride of the river
where the soli Is more sandy. Sugar beets
raised In the valley. It Is claimed, con
tain as much sugar as those raised In any
other section of the country, and are profit
able as a special crop. The pulp Is nour-
(Ishlng and cheap as winter food for stock.
Preparations are being made for building
a beet sugar factory In the district.
The vast country surrounding the valley
affords pasturage for immense herds, mak
ing that section one of the largest cattle
ranges in the I'nlted States. As many as
6.01)0 carloads of cattle have been shipped
from Uelle Fourche In a year. Large
flocks of sheep also feed on the ranges,
and .I4IO,000 pounds of wool are shipped
annuaj1 from this region. With the irri
gation of the valley and the production
of abundant crops of small grain and
alfalfaa new and Important Industry will
be developed In the winter feeding and
fattening of stock.
All th'e fruits and vegetables that can
be raised In the valley can be sold to the
mining campa of the Black Hills, where
employment Is given to thousands of men.
Milk, eggs, butter, poultry and garden
truck all bring high prices and there la a
growing and constant demand for these
products. Sturgls, Whltewood, Belle
Fourche and other towns have direct con
nection over the Chicago A. Northwestern
railroad with Omaha, Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Chicago, and other, large cities. These
great marketa take all the surplus product,
sending In return machinery, household
supplies and, other manufactured articles
not - fl produced In i the valley. A new
railroad is being built the entire length of
tins project, so that the transportation
facilities will be excellent.
Interesting; to Enclacera.
Frqm an engineering standpoint the Belle
Fourche project In one of the most Inter
estlngwhlch the government has yet under
taken. Its principal structure la an
earthen dam, probably the largest of its
kind In tho. world. This wonderful dike
which closes the lowest depression In the
rim 'of a natural basin, is 1300 feet long,
twenty feet wide on top, and 116 feet high
tin fhe highest place. The Inside face of
this. structure, which has a slope of two to
1, will be protected from wave and Ice
action by two feet of screened gravel on
which will be placed concrete blocks each
.4x6 faet and eight inches thick. The
cubical content of this dam will be 48,700,000
cublo feet, of about half that of the tam-
oil pyramid of Cheops.
The reservoir created by this dam will
cover about 8.000 acres, and will be the
largest lake In the state. It will receive
water through an Inlet canal six and one-
half miles long, forty feet wide on the
bottom, and capable of carrying the entire
f tikV of Belle Fourche river.
(The Belle Fourche offers opportunities
In every line of business. The valley is
practically a virgin field. The mercantile
pursuits are not overcrowded. Manu
facturing Is yet to be developed, and the
professional man has a great opportunity.
The reclamation of 100,000 acres of land
Included in this project, with a family on
every forty or eighty-acre tract, will neces
sitate the establishment of several ( new
tow :!.' and will add greatly to those now
In existence. Around the new government
town site, and also the mw railroad In
temporary quarters, ready to move into
permanent buildings as soon as the town
site lots are on sale. Lands which sold
for $5 per acne before the project started
are now valued at $M per acre and are
In good demand.

Lactarc Medal
for This Year
Goes to Egan
United States Minister to Denmark ii
Eecipient of Coreted Honor
from Notre Same.
NOTRB PAME. Ind., March 5. -(Special.)
The Laetare medal, which is the highest
decoration of honor for a lay member of
the Catholic church In the United Ptates.
and which Is annually conferred by the
University of Notre Dame on some man or
woman who has achieved distinction in art.
literature, science or philanthropy, goes this
year to the present American minister to
Denmark, Maurice Francis Kagan. author,
educator and diplomatist. The award is
made for distinguished services to Catholic
literature and education.
For twenty years before this appointment
as the representative of the United States
at the court of Denmark, Dr. Eagan was
occupied as a professor of literature, and
during that period he found time to pub
lish several Important works on literary
criticism which are held in high esteem
by university men. He Is also well known
M a novelist, but his claims to literary ds
tlnctlon rest most on the verse which he
has written. In several published volumes
he hat shown merit as a true poet, and aa
uch, he has been held by critics like Ed
mund Clarence Stedman and Richard Wat
son Glider. The last named placed him
among the three best sonneteers In Eng
lish. Because the literary quality of his
work Is so flne, and most of all because
his themes are wholesome and elevating,
the trustees of the University of Notre
Dame have selected Dr. Eagan as the re
cipient of the Laetare medal this year.
The medal takes its name from the title
given the fourth Sunday of Lent, the day
when the announcement of the award is
always made. It corresponds to the decora
tion of the Golden Rose, which Is conferred
by the pope every year on some member
of the nobility of Europe. The medal Is a
large disk of pure gold, richly enamelled,
and bearing In relief some design suited
to the profession of the recipient. A motto
In Latin, "Truth la mighty and shall pre
vail," appears In black enamel surround
ing the design. Accompanying the medal
Is an address of award painted on silk by
some artist of renown.
The Laetare medal was first given In
1883. It was then conferred on the historian,
John Oilmary Shea. In succession the fol
lowing were decorated: Patrick J. Keeley,
architect; Ellxa Allen Starr, art critic;
General John Newton, civil engineer;
Patrick V. Hlckey, editor; Anna Hanson
Dorsey, author; William J. Onahan, pub
iclst Major Henry F. Brownson,
soldier and scholar; Patrick Dona
hue, editor and philanthropist; Augus-
tln Dally, theatrical manager: Anna
T. Sadler, author; General William K.
Rosecrans, soldier; Thomas Addis Emmett,
physician; Timothy E. Howard, Jurist; John
A. Crelghton. philanthropist: William
Burke Cochran, lawyer and statesman;
John B. Murphy, surgeon; Thomas B. Fltz-
pa trick, merchant and philanthropist;
Katherine Eleanor Conway, author and
editor; Francis Quintan, surgeon; James C.
Monaghan, publicist and educator; Chris
tine Frances Tterrhan, author.
Although the name of the recipient and
the reasons for the award are made public
on Laetare Sunday, tue actual presenta
tion of the medal does not take place until
some weeks later at a time when digni
taries of the Catholic church and men emi
nent In the same line of work as the re
cipient can be brought together. In the
case of Dr. Egan, he will probably not be
formally decorated with the medal until
the latter part of May or jcoe.
Maurice Francis Egar. tra.3 Com In Phila
delphia In 1852. He was graduated from
La Salle college In that city In 1873. He
received the degree of master of arts from
the University of Notre Dame In 1S78 and
of LL. D. from Georgetown university In
1879. In 1891 the University of Ottawa con
ferred on hjm the degree of J. U. D and
Villanova the degree of Ph. D. In 1907. In
1878 he began newspaper work and he was
successively reporter, sub-editor and editor
until 1888, when he was called to the chair
of English literature in the University of
Notre Dame, where he remained until 1896,
when he went to the Catholic University
of America In Washington as professor ot
literature. In 1907 he was appointed by
President Roosevelt envoy , extraordinary
and niinlsler plenipotentiary to Denmark.
George P. Cronk
Sues for Divorce
Comes Into Court Alleging that Wife's
Cruelty Has Undermined
His Health.
George P. Cronk has Deguti action for di
vorce from Mrs. Cora L. Cronk. His pe
titlon ' In district court charges extreme
cruelty.
Friends of Cronk have expected that this
action would be taken ever since Mrs.
Cronk appeared before the grand Jury to
complain of her husband. The final re
port of the grand Jury which does not find
any Indictment against Cronk was awaited
before the action In divorce was Initiated.
Cronk, through his attorney, Thomas D.
Crane, states in. his petition that he was
married in September, 1908, In Chicago. The
first specification of cruelty alleged is that
Mrs. Cronk, In March, 1907, "in the absence
of plaintiff from his home, entertained 'a
number of parties, both male and female,
of bad reputation In the home of plaintiff."
Next, another charge of evil company is
preferred lu connection with an automo
bile ride, mentioning soma prominent
vounr society men. and the same allegation
Is made a third time in connection wlthJ
still another person. .
Another count charges that Mrs, Cronk
locked up the door of the plaintiff's bed
room, so that he "was therefore obliged to
sit up all night." It Is averred that Mrs.
Cronk once urged her son, Haymond
Patterson, to strike the plaintiff and that
Mrs. Cronk horself, In a room In the Mil
lard hotel, threatened him with a revolver.
The petition contains numerous allega
tions, mentioning the Palm Beach episode,
the lurid stories In a Los Angeles news
paper, Mrs. Cronk's appearance before the
grand jury to complain of her husband, her
effort to prejudice the Elks against him
with the purpose of barring him from that
order and concludes by stating that hit
hralth has been undermined aa a result
ot this.
The petition aays that knowing an in
dictment for Improper support of wife or
family meant dismissal from the order of
Elks, of which he Is member, Mrs. Cronk
Was anxious to sick the grknd Jury onto
her husband and had gone to Arthur C.
Wakeley and H. C. Mann, officers of the
Elka, with tales rn her husband, asking
them to prefer charges In the lodge.

NEBRASKA FARM MORTGAGES
Matter Worries an Investigator from
New York.
CONCLUSION NOT WELL FOUNDED
erflclal Eisnlsatloa by aa Rast
er Writer Demonstrated to Be
Fool Ink by Farts as They
Heally Kxlat. .
An eastern correspondent of the New
York Times, in a recent Issue of that
paper, has tsken occasion, from Informa
tion which he Is presumed to have gath
ered while on a trip Into the western
country, to expose what he regards as an
alarming condition of western farm mort
gage Indebtedness. Nebraska has been se
lected by him as an example Illustrative
of the reckless disposition among the west
trn people to buy and mortgage farm
lands. The basis of this alarming situation
which he assumes to have discovered is
upon the following hypothesis. He says:
There Is adequate authority for the state
ment that there are probably more western
farms mortgaged now, and for greater
sums, than there were in the early 90s,
when times were bad and everybody was
feeling sorry for "bleeding Kansas." We
will add nur probability to the above and
say that there are many times more farms
now In the western country than there were
in me eariy and tnat these firms are
worth from three or four to rrmnv times
more money than they were In the early
sua.
He further Hates:
The situation In Nebraska Is tvnlcal of
the whole western country. In 1907 there
were filed In Nebraska 16.058 farm mort
gages, representing a total Indebtedness
upon the part of the farmers Involved of
$36,432,000. During the year 17.930 mortgages
of 124,367,000 were paid. During the follow
ing year 14,108 more mortgages, represent
ing an indebtedness of $34.408. 000. were fTlefl.
while lft.094 mortgages, representlnn only
I30.7O7.OOO, were paid. Thus In those two
years the mortgaged indebtedness of Ne
braska farmers was Increased $13,776,000.
t irteen years ago these facts would have
created consternation throughout the whole
country. They ought to create consterna
tion now among all of those who mav be
considering the advisability of going west
to buy either government lgnd or land that
Is now under cultivation by Individuals,
etc.
What does this two-year Increase of $13,-
776,000 of credit or securMy mprtgnge mean
to the producing ability of Nebraska today'
Practically nothing. What would It mean
in actual money loan mortgages under
present conditions? Nothing.
A Prophet 'Without Knowledge.
It la fortunate for the buyer and seller of
western farm lands, for the public senti
ment that Is backing the Improvement and
encouraging the development of western
agricultural resources, that they are not
under the persuasive Influence of this
great eastern prophet. It Is an old saying
and accepted with more or less credence.
"that a prophet Is not without honor save
In his own country." In this case we have
an eastern prophet wltnout knowledge of
the western country.
Some of the reasons why western farm
mortgages exist and what they represent
against the land, from a debt point of
view, will be better understood when we
explain the basis of transaction creating
the great majority of these mortgages.
Owing to the scarcity of farm labor and
the difficulty of operating farms under
these embarrassing conditions, many farm
ers who have no boys, no help within the
family, and who have acquired money
ahead are selling or renting their farms
and retiring from active farm work.
The renting of the farm is quite often
unsatisfactory to the landowner. The ten
ant, as a cash renter, wants to get every
thing possible out of the land and Is not
Interested In putting anything back. This
kind of experience encourages the farm
owner to change his method a little, and
this he quite often does. In the sale of the
farm to an ambitious homeseeker who can
pay a few thousand dollars down, enough
to guarantee the sincerity of the purchase,
the balance he can have on long time at
5 per cent, the seller being satisfied with
the annual interest. The security in pres
ent prices of land, Is so well established In
the mind of the western farmer, that he
feels better with the mortgage in his safe
than the money In the bank. With the
former he Is free from any annoyance in
getting his money loaned out again on
some other man's farm.
Effect of the Transaction.
In this transaction there is secured a
good tenant, a man Interested In keeping
up the fertility of the soil, repairing fences,
buildings and looking after the gen
eral welfare of the farm. This transac
tion on a 160-acre farm will probably rep
resent $3,000 or $4,000 paid in cash and a
mortgage filed for $12,000 or $13,000. These
are not isolated cases, but represent
thousands of mortgages that are being
filed each year, all over the agricultural
states of the west. It does not represent
a desire to get rid of the land at fictitious
prices, but merely a shifting of retponsl
blllty in the care and management of the
land, owing to the great problem of hired
labor that is confronting the American
farmer with greater urgency for solution
each year.
Another source of mortgage Indebted
ness and which need not create any undue
alarm or apprehension of extravagance or
dangerous speculation, is the growth of
home demand for farms to supply the
boys, as they are coming of age. Thous
ands of boys all over the rich farming
districts of the west are each year being
provided with farms by the assistance ot
the old homestead. A farm In the neigh
borhood is bought for the boy, possibly at
a strong price. This is added to the re
sources of the home farm, and the com
bined efforts of the family are exerted to
pay for It, and they are paying for these
farms, to which statement every local
bank and loan company can attest.
Nebraska farmers are quite generally
becoming money loaners, and represent a
very large share In the ownership of the
mortgages filed on farm lands In the atate.
Bank3 1,4 fcvery county In the state hold
farmers' money to be applied on the pur-
chase of farm mortgages, and country
banks generally accredit 90 to 95 per rent
of their deposits as farmers' money. When
the western fanner cannot put his money
out on farm land security, he then resorts
to buying land, another way ot getting
his money Invested In what he believes to
be the best and safest security.
Fixing; of Farm Valaes.
As (o the western farm values, they are
governed just as values are governed In
other districts of the United States, or
other countries. The producing ability of
the land In agricultural districts, determ
ines the value ot the land. AVhen this
condition has been fully attained on the
farm, the prloe of the land will cease to go
higher. When from any cause the pro
ducing ability of the land declines, farm
land prices will drop down. Just as Is ob
served In the worn-out farms of New York
and some other eastern states, where
lands are being offered at $10 to $25 per
acre.
Nebraska farms, however, are not bulli
upon a rock foundation, with a scanty
surface soil, but have an uninterrupted
depth of soli, that Is readily recuperated
by use of leguminous crops and without
the aid of commercial fertilisers.
The financial condition of the early '90s
and those of the present time will not
admit of a comparison in any respect,

INTER-STATE-
neither In character of indebtedness nor
ability to liquidate. The mortgages of the
early '90s filed In Nebraska represented
eastern money, while the mortgages of
today represent Nebraska money In the
early '90s Nebraska Was long on indebted
ness and short on money, today Nebraska
farmers are Investing of their surplus
millions of dollars each year In the cheap
lands of other parts of the United States,
Canada and Central America.
In this relation we call attention to a
comparison of the state bank; deposits of
Nebraska in 1895 and 1910. Tlio former
m.200,775.62, the latter (73.283,616.75.
showing an increase of $59,082,841.13. On
November 9, 1909, the national banks of
Nebraska had on deposit $186,080,005.66.
The crop and live stock valuation of
these dates are: I,lve stock, 1895, $55,
372,000; 1910, $256,849,000; Increase, $200,
277.000. Crops, 1895, $43,307,179; 1910,
$255,45,000; Increase, $211,737,821.
The Increase in land values of 1910 over
that of 1900 will be something appalling,
and yet Nebraska and the western farm
ing districts of all the so-called west is
going straight forward producing crops
that are paying interest on these reputed
high prices of farm land values.

Superintendent of Schools Davidson and
Principal Graff of the high school have re
turned from Indianapolis, where they spent
the week attending the annual mtetlng of
the department of superintendence of the
National Educational association. Superin
tendent Davidson was chosen president,
rfgarded as a high distinction, this body
being looked on as composed of the great
est educational experts In the world.
"The meeting was remarkable for attend
ance," said Superintendent Davidson.
"There were more than 300 In excess of
the usual number. It was more remark
able still for the central thought of all the
discussion, which was the child as the cen
ter of the home, and the home, naturally,
as the basic unit of civilised society.
"All the papers and discussions were
confined clonely to this line of thought,
with retardation and advancement of the
pupil as the main themes. It was recos
nlzfd that some children do not seem cap
able of keeping up with their fellows In
tlje matter of school btudles; then, what
retards them? To find out this and apply
a remedy, that will be the great object of
those Investigators who are now devoting
themselves to a special study of the sub
ject. Here the men working under the
Russell Sage foundation will bring their
powers of innervation and analysis to btar,
and the results cannot but prove very prof
itable. And, by the way, that foundation
gives promise of Immenxe usefulness to
the school men and, in rven more impor
tant faxhlon, to the future eltlznnhtp of
