Name of Capital of
Australia Means
Laughing Jackass
LONDON, March 17. Australians ar.
considerably agitated, according to tho
Dally Chronicle's correspondent In vMl
bourne, by the rcort that "Canberra,''
the name recently selected for the new
capital city of the commonwealth, really
means "laughing jackass." l.rchlbald
Mcston, a noted Queensland authority on
aboriginal name, makes the amusing as
set tlou, after having studied the deriva
tion of tho word. Those who regard the
author's verdict as correct are blaming
the government for not taking the pre
liminary precaution of having ascertained
the meaning of Canberra beforo coming
to a decision.
The laughing Jackass of Australia is
not a Jackass, but a large bird, which Is
highly appreciated by farmers because
It kills snakes. VThe name "laughing jack
ass is given to the bird because of lt3
raucous cry, which It emits usually at
sunup and sundown. The cry so re
sembles the laughter of a human being
In uncontrolllable glee that It Is almost
Impossible for thoso who hear It con
stantly to retain their gravity.

NOVEL IRRIGATION METHOD
CUSTER CITY. B. D.. March 16. (Spe
cial.) An ingenious and effective method
of Irrigation, and one noted for Its
originally, Is that pursued by Fred Alk
man. living west of this city. Mr. Alk
man has erected a dam about 104 feet
long and approximately twenty feet high,
and this dam usually entraps a vast
amount of water. At the lower part of
the dam Mj. Alkinan has placed a three
Inch pipe extending through the dam
Into the bed of the stored water. To
prevent the water from running out
through this pipe, he attaches an elbow
pipe, which extends above tbtj'top of the
water a short distance. When ho wishes
water for irrigation purposes he turn
this upright pipe slightly downward, and
the water runs out until the surface Is
level with the upper end of the pipe. By
Inclining the upright pipe still farther,
any desired amount will thus run out.
and regulate Its own flow Mr. Alkinan
Irrigates 120 acres and always has good
crops.

The Jurors also were Instructed to as
certain If any member of tho national
government was guilty ot conspiracy.
On this point the court said;
"If, therefore, tho officers or agents
or ottornoyB of a corporation tax debtoi,
have conspired uinoni: themselves, or
with officers of tho United States, or j
with other provisions, to defraud tho
government out of revenue tax, any ono
of such persons hns done any act to

may all be preceded against In account
of such conspiracy, even though the
criminal liability of the tax debtor for
the fraud Itself has been specifically ex
tinguished by tho commission ot Internal
revenue, with tho concurrence of ,tho
secretary ot the treasury."
The Jurors were Informed that they
had authority to look Into the "oleo
margarine business and that of manu
facturing cotton seed oil and to bring
witnesses hero from any part of tho
country. "If there was a common under

committee also recommended the cases
be not compromised. Nevertheless as
one ot tho last acts of his late adminis

This compromise, continued Judgo Lan

"If tho manufacturers have been guilty

The Beo want ads are

of human wants and

meet is. sure to read
