I think there Is a good deal of gush about the British protesta tions of love for America." He was very Hbernl with his minis ters and was especially hearty toward Dr. Ralnsford, at whose views and ways many New York churchmen, at first looked askance. But one day, when a gathering of ministers was at his house Dr. Ralnsford arrived late, having Just come In from a fishing trip and wearing his angling togs. This was too much for the bishop and he said abruptly, "Oh, Ralnsford, please go and put on something can onical," and Ralnsford did. The greatest monument to Bishop Potter's memory will undoubtedly be the famous Cathedral of St. John tho Divine, which Is being bullded on University Heights, New York. The bishop threw his whole soul Into this great work, raised millions of dollars for It, but he did not live to see more than a small part of the magnificent structure completed. He himself never expected to see the completion of the work and did not even expect the next generation to see it, but with characteristic greatness of mind he planned far ahead and rejoiced In the Idea that some future generation would enjoy the magnificent sight of the completed cathedral.

Government Enlarges Irrigation Scheme In Idaho. The Pocatello Tribune says of the change and enlargement of the Fort Hall government Irrigation project, at Fort Hall, Idaho: F. H. Newell, chief of the United States reclamation service, who was In Pocatello last evening with the Garfield party, announced that the government had virtually decided to make a sweeping change In plans for the Fort Hall Irrigation project, and had under consideration a new pro ject which when consummated will mean more to Pocatello than any one thing that has happened, since the birth of the town. Chief Newell says It is now the In tention of the reclamation service to ue water from the Jackson lake storage reservoir in Wyoming In the canals of the Fort Hall Irrigation project, and conserve water In the proponed Blackfoot storage reservoir for use in reclaiming lands along the upper Portneuf river, along the benches on both sides of that stream and along the left bank of the river between Pocatello and American Falls. This will make Pocatello the center of one of the largest tracts of Irrigated lands in Idaho. Chief Newell says that all the de tails of the plan have not yet been worked out, but that It was so certain to be finally adopted that engineers have been ordered to make a detailed survey at an early date. A corps of surveyors will be In Pocatello this summer to begin work. Before the plan Is consummated It will be necessary for 90 per cent of homesteaders on the tract proposed to be irrigated to sign contracts to take water.
