The Wonders Of Irrigation.

The eleventh census makes some
startling revelations regarding the in
crease in value of irrigated lands in the
west. Tracts which few years ago
were not worth the government price
of l.25 an acre, are now worth all the
way from S1o0 to $500 an acre, and some
command even higher figures. I'm
mensc crops and no failures justify
these sc mingly extravogant prices.
Though irrigation in the United States
is sill in its infancy, the value in 1890
of the irrigated areas, with their water
rights. was about three-quarters that
of all the gold and silver mines in the
United States, with their railroads and
other improvements.
The New York Sun recently con-
tanned very interesting article on the
great work of reclamation now going
on in the Pecos valley of New Mexico.
This is the largest irrigation enter
prise in America and will eventually
reclaim over 400, 900 acres. The Pecos
valley is wonderful fruit country,
such high authority as Parker Earle,
president of the American Horticultural
society, stating that its apples, in par
ticular, surpass those gro anywhere
else in the world. IC is said that lands
can now be bought in the Pecos valley
at first prices, sure to double and
quadruple within the next few years.
In the Stock Exchange building, in Chi
cago, is display of fruits from the
valley which is well worth going a long
distance 10 see by any one interested
in irrigation and its possibilities.

Shanghai: kilograms from Mouk-

soldiers are passing through that city
in wild retreat. The Japanese army is
believed to have arrived there now,
aided by 1000 armed Koreans.
Tien Tsin: The Japanese are pur-
suing the campaign toward Moukden,
cautiously and are avoiding any dash
ing enterprises. Their cruisers are
closely watching the Chinese fleet in
the gulf of Pc Chi Ii. Fugitivcs from
Ping Yang describe the Japanese tao
tics as most scientific while their
weapons are perfect. On the other
hand the Chinese operations are said
to be conducted in an antiquated fash
ion, and there is considerable disagree
ment among the Chinese generals.
The japanese are gaining the sym

the eXpeditionary force consisting of
30, 900 men, which left Hiroshima, the
Japanese headquarters, on Sept. 25,
