worlds fair visitors the railroads are break
ing worlds records every day. They came
by thousands from all points.

ARID LANDS.
The Los Angeles lrrig alton ConVen-
ton.

The Los Angeles Irrigation Conven-
ton.
Below will be found in part the statement
of the conventions views as the deliberate
conclusions of the representatives of the
western states and territories:
1.-THE public lands which still belong to
the PEG pie of the United States are for the
most part aridor seml-arid requiring theartiti-
cial application of water to render them pro-
ductive. They lie between the 9th nerd
ian and the Pacific ocean and are divided
between seventeen states and territories.
This domain Is estimated by the general
land office to contain 542.OOO.OOO acres.
Enough of this land is arabic to PROVIDE
homes and farms for millions OF people.
The portion which can never be cultivated
is valuable for range purposes or tor forest
reservations. Notwithstanding the present
condition of these arid lands we confidently
predict that they viii become the seat OF the
highest civilization and the greatest average
prosperity yet developed on this continent.
The intensive scientific cultivation rendered
possible by irrigation results IN the largest
conceivable development of independence
and prosperity on the fewest number OF
acres. The conditions of social lie Wnlcn
naturally grow up IN region OF small farms
are among the strongest attractions OF the
irrigated districts OF the west. II Is bLlS Ca
perience of the world that the acre value OF
land increases as the farm limit dimlnlshes.
The reclamation of the arid public domain
means the improvement of the peoples es-
tate and the consequent addition or vast
sum to the national wealth.
The progress thus far made IN the re-
ciamation of the arid regions has been
along the line of local efforts and individual
enterprise Nevertheless. the problem OF
conouering these deserts Is national IN es-
sence. These lands are the heritage OF the
American people. To have home upon
them is the birthright Of every American

Brunswick's scourve Increasing.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. October 2i.-There was
officially reported Saturday seven deaths and
forty-five new cases of yellow fever, the rec
ord breaker of the epidemic. The warm
weather, following the few days of rain and
cool weather brought the disease rapidly to
the front. There are now 258 cases under
treatment, sixty whites and 1913 colored. The
outlook for the next twenty days is not
cheerful. When the dread of famine seems
to be disappearing and the people were
breathing easier, the deaths roll up and the
fever increases alarTningly.

as the reason for buying at higher prices and
with money abundant on call speculation in
stocks and products has unusual stimulus
and would have expanded even more but for
the continued embarrassment of industries.
Business is so slow that merchants are
asking for a few new loans and yet the ag-
gregate commercial Indebtedness must still
be large.
Reduction in wages has been general and
does not tend to increase the consumption
of goods.

that it would be worth at least $4,000 to

into hall for conventions and other large
gatherings in topeka, and if the capital
city will not provide money to bring it here
the architect suggests that other cities be
invited to consider the matter.
