SWAMP LAND RECLAMATION.

Report OF Comm ss Toner Rose and = Rec
ommendation.
SAN FRANCIsCo, Dec. 20.-Commis-
sioner OF Public Works Rose has made a
report on the reclamation of the swamp
lands in the interior OF the state, orig
inally comprising 100000 acres. For
many years efforts to reclaim these
lands have been made. the attempts at
draining costing total OF $1.700, 900
and the projected reclamation proving a
practical failure. This in ascribed to
lack OF system and intelligently applied
effort.
The report recommends the adoption
OF complete system formulated by the
consulting engineers, Marson and Grun-
sky. who have demonstrated that the
Sacramento and it's tributaries present
q vastly greater volume of flood waters
than the channel can be made TO carry.
The engineers plans provide for sde-
quatc flood channels by means of by
pass canals lying between master dykes.
passing down and through the basins.
The food waters over and above the
capacity OF the river are permitted to
escape from the channel over wide weirs
constructed of concrete and raised to the
flood level of the danger line.
The report says that the debris from
past hydraulic mining operations will be
a cause of trouble for years as it works
it's way down to the basin. The Yuba,
Bear and the American can carry nearly
all the chickens and they empty into the
Sacramento river not far apart.
Roes suggests that the lower course OF
the Bear and the Yuba might be de-
fected at moderate cost into the Ameri-
can river basin which comprises ITO
square miles and ia large enough to inn
pound past and future slickens, should
hydraulic mining be put on legal basis
once more.

HORSE TAIL SOUP.

New YORK, Dec. 20.-A banquet Of

geon James D. Hopkins of Newark last
evening. The kitchen was given over
to the chef and his assistants, the dim
ing room and parlors to the guests, the
ladies of the DOCTORS family having been

the doctor kept his place at the head of

eat, or repeating the historw of the
horse they were eating and telling how
wholesome ho7sefesh is, and how he ex-
pects it to take its place in the markets
OF the country in short time to be sold
on its merits.
The most practical argument for the
introduction of horse meat, however.
was the manner il which it was served
upon this occasion, and it seemed GER
tain that the rich as we'll as the poor
would be convinced OF it's merits if they
could get it cooked as DR.. Hopkins had
it prepared last night. There was horse
tail soup, soup richly favored and nour-
ishing; boiled saddle OF horse with
horse radlsh sauce. and broiled tender
loin OF horse, while the piece de resist
ance was a rib roast. There was a hot
roast and plenty OF broiled steaks and
Dreaded outlets. with all imaginable
soups and relishes and variety of vege-
tables. There was a great deal of joou-
lar conversation at the table, and all
sorts of horse talk, but not the slightest
indication of qualmishness. Everybody
went there with ths intention of eating
what the doctor had prepared. and the
first taste of palatssble soup encouraged
all to 20 on with the coursea.

NEW YORK. Dec 20.-A Chinese agent
Is in Washington negotiating with
Sefior Mendonca, minister for Brazil, for
the purchase of the Nictheroy and the

lying idle at Rio or in some harbor to

President Moraes would be glad to dis
pose OF them, his present naval force be-
ing sufficient without this emergency

An officer of the Nictheroy has been
approached by tho Chinese agent and
asked to name the terms under which
he would navigate the vessel to Wei
Hai-Wei and serve three months there's
after in tho war against the Japanese.
He demanded $4,000 for the former and
$1,000 for the latter service. The pur-
chase Of either or both vessels would de-
pend upon the enlistment of several
officers and part of their crews. This
is why the Chinese agent treats with

The Zalinsky dynamite gun on the

In the Brazilian war by inspiring terror
among the Insurgents rather than by
any real service. The Chinese agent
thinks ii will serve the same purpose

and it would strengthen his poaition if
he could make good trade with China.

WHO WILL

The average inhabitant of North
Carolina, by combining his labor with
his capital, added e. 5 per cent. to his
wealth, that is he increased each 800
of his wealth to 1922. 95 in the ten years
from 1880 to 1890, according to the last
census reports. Leaving the ten years
labor out of the calculation, work it
out and tell us at what rate of COM
pound interest you would have to
charge in order to increase 800 to
$127, 95 in ten years9 Let us hear from
you. This is an important question

least 1O, 1000 or Is, 900 additional sub

cussed in a bold, fair and impartial
manner. This paper will do this and
give hundreds of columns of entertain
ing and instructive matter in addition.
Let every man begin anew to spread
this paper. Get reformers to read it
so they may be armed, and others so
they will become reformers. Don't be
discouraged, but try, try again.

TOM AND SAM.

"a IF Thomas Jefferson were living ne
would consider life a failure, for Capt.
Sam Ashe would make him long for
the solitude Of the grave. Tom Jeffer-
son is the daddy of the Democratic
marty, and Capt. Sam says it was a
poor job; that he ''can't agree with all
Of ~Jefferson's views" But he adds
that "Were he G~effereon) now living
he would, we believe, stand squarely
with us on all our positions"
Now the inference is that a second
edition of Jefferson, revised and i'm
proved, a sort of unabridged affair, is
editing the NeUs Observer Chronicle.
If Tom Jefferson were living he would
probably draw all of his inspirations
from that paper. About once a week
he would write a piece for the paper
signed "a Subscriber, stating that he
heartily approved of all that had ap-
peared in Capt. Sans paper during
the past week; that much of it was
new to him, but entirely satisfactory.
We can easily believe that Tom would
have been kept SO busy endorsing all
Sam writes that he could never have
started "a party with undying princi-
ples." Therefore it is fortunate for
Tom that he lived and made his repu-
tation a hundred years ago. Then, too,
he has escaped the Cleveland admins
tratiOu and all it's horrors. Tom would
have wept several times every day as
he witnessed the destruction Of the
money of Abraham" the falling price
of farm products and real estate. Tom
eve saw a railroad train, a steamboat
nor a breech loading shotgun. But he
missed Capt. Sam and this reform ad-
m~inistration, and his friends are glad
accordingly.
