The Coming Metal.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
 Mir. Conrad, the general agent for the Studebaker Brothers, has unique little advertisement of the firm in the form of a stamped aluminium medal. It is about the size of the half dollar, but only weighs as much as a dime. This little medal sets one to thinking. The material was discovered in 1923; it re- mained merely a cabinet or laboratory curiosity for thirty years. In 1858 it became a scarce article of commerce, worth probably S4 per ounce. Now the processes have been improved until it can be obtained at $2 per pound. Well it can be drawn out as fine as gold, drawn into wires or rolled into sheets i; it is only two and half times as heavy as water it is four times lighter than silver it will not tarnish under many things which will tarnish silver; it is three times stronger than steel. It is believed that it will speedily become cheaper, inasmuch as all the clays of the earth are surcharged with it, and all that is required to make the metal more plenty than iron is a cheaper pro- cess for separating it. But at the pres ent price it would not, properly rolled, greatly exceed the cost of tin or iron or shingles for roofing. This fact sets the imagination at work, and it pictures cities built, within the next fifty years, out of ma terial as beautiful as polished silver and not so prone to tarnish as silver. Not only the outside, but the inside can be made of it, and with the house the frames for the furniture, the range in the kitchen, the cooking utensils, etc. There has been a stone age, an iron age and an age of gold, but the next one is to be the aluminium age, and under it the earth will glitter like the clear streams that babble along the clear streets Tn the "City of Light" It springs radiant from the expressionless clay even as a master thought leaps glorious from the brain of man.

NEW WEALTH FROM IRRIGATION.
How Alkali Lands Can Be Reclaimed and
 Made Useful.

How Alkali Lands Can Be Reclaimed and
 Made Useful.
 From the San Francisco Bulletin.
 The subject of irrigation is called up afresh by reports received by the Agri. cultural Department at Washington. Some of these refer to investigations concerning underground rivers. Pro- lessor Hilgard is quoted as saying that "the underilow of great gravel beds ex- isting Tn the southern part of California is proving to be of increasing impor- tance as a source of irrigation supply. It is possible to maintain and increase the supply of water far beyond it's pres- ent magnitude. All that is necessary is to understand the controlling principle of its action.
 "These gravel beds are natural storage reservoirs. They may be emptied and replenished with due regard to the rain fall and drainage" Accounts are also according to the reports, ''it is believed will result in the reclamation of the en- tire Antelope Valley and even of the Mojave Desert" It has been demon strated that water is alone needed in Wndt dTG Cdlltu ucstIl parts Ol lnls DldIc to make the arid lands blossom as the rose." Even lands whitened by alkali and thickly impregnated with it have not proved intractable.
 The experiments of Dr. Sketchley, ostrich grower, may be recalled. He found flowing well, led the water upon the adjacent soil, and having drawn much alkali to the surface, turned the water off. This process being several times repeated, the surface soil was found to be cleansed and thrifty and abundant crops were grown on a seem- ingly unpromising desert.
 Irrigation on great scale will u!ti- mately be powerful agency in filling up the dryer portions of Southern California and adjacent territory with an industrious population. The lands now useless should cost the future owners only the actual expense of providing the water necess ary to make them fertile. The clim atic con- ditions and ascertained capabilities of the soil are such as to insure individual success to many thousands of in- dustrious farmers. A variety of crops, other than the choice fruits for which that region is especially adapted, may be grown successfully in this new Egypt of the Western World.
