A Terrible Diaaster.

New YORK, Feb. "A disaster ap-

terrible occurrences in Park Place, still

ground and large number of peop'e

At the time of the disaster there were
nearly $50 guests in the hotel. The

number of people five have thus far
been found dead, six are in the hospital
and sixty-three have been reported
alive. One hundred are still missing.
The number of dead will probably te
about thirty.
The scenes we're heartrending and
appalled, even the firemen and police

Soon after the fire broke out ambu-
lances arrived from the various hospit-
ais. Many physicians whose residences
are in the neighborhood were quickly
on the scene and did all they could to
relieve the injured.

THE census figures show that total
of 1,O01, 297 acres of land in the arid
regions of the United States were un-
der irrigation in the last census year.
The acreage was as follows: Arizona,
65,s21; New Mexico, 81, 745; Utah, 263,
47s; Wyoming, 229,676, and Montana,
$50, $50. Irrigation must be depended
upon to supply the cereal food of the
future. It will not only bring under
cultivation untold millions of acres of
land hitherto deemed worthless, but
will be applied to a doubling of pro-
duction in large part of the area now
devoted to agriculture. Plenty of
water and sunshine is all that is needed.
