4 PLEA FOR IRRIGATION
Annual Report Of the Secretary Of
the Interior.
Mr. Hitchcock Says the Arid Region
of the United states, if Watered,
Would support Population OF
6O.OOO.OOO - Disposal of Public
Lands-Indian Affairs Discussed.

The annual report of the Secretary of the
Interior for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1899, has been submitted to the Presi-
dent. The report gives in detail the amount
and nature of the business transacted by
the department during the past year and
contains many recommendations for fu-
ture work. Secretary Hitchcock says, in
part: There were disposed of during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1899, public
lands aggregating 9,1S2, ,413.16 acres.
The total cash receipts during the year
from various sources, including disposal
of public lands were, 1884, ,6s0.4s.
The total expense OF district land Of
fees for salaries and commissions of reg
listers and receivers, incidental expenses,
and expenses of depcsiting public moneys
during the fiscal year ended June so, 1899.
was 1861 1927; an increase, as compared
with the fiscal year ended June 80, 1898.
of si3,99O.50.
The total area of the public lands may
be stated TO be approximately 1852, ,13S, ,221
acres, of which 929 30s, ,06S acres are un-
disposed of, and 1852. $50, ,15S acres have
been reserved for various purposes.
There are no reliable data at hand from
which to estimate the amount OF gold ta-
ken from the Yukon county in Alaska. No
mining claims have been received from
that region, but now that United States
land Offices have been opened at Circle City
and Peavy, it is expected that during the
coming year the miners will, to some ex-
tent at least, prove up and acquire title
to their claims"
The irrigable area OF the arid region OF
the United States is 74,000.000 acres and
the report says in regard to it,

With a splash vigorous enough TO scare a
sleeping whale, over goes the hook-half

a steel chain to g rope cable, which is ca
pable Of standing a tested strain OF five
tons. One does not fish for the tiger of the
seas with silk lines and drawn gut casts.
The hook is baited with a four pound lump
of fat. bilious looking salt pork; or. bet

to which a small square of the tough hide
is still attached-a bait which no shark

Is, not unnaturally. somewhat frightened
by the splash (made purposely. by the
way, with the idea Of attracting his at

thrown to him. and sheers on doubtfully.
His hesitation, however, does not last long.
He remembers the delightful flavor of the
hors d'oeuvres which he has already had,
and comes UP with rush TO enjoy the
second course. There is a slight oily swirl,
flash of white from his belly as he turns
over two double rows of sharp, murder
Gus looking teeth come together with a
snap, and bait, hook and a foot or two Of
rusty chain are swallowed without q gulp.
Then, as the point of the hook bites into
the cartilaginous framework of his head,
he becomes alarmed and tries to break
away. No use; that five ton cable Will hold
him. Hand over fist he Is hauled in to the
side; a running moose is dropped down the
line and over his shoulders. and dozen
eager anglers haul him unceremoniously
up on deck. ,.. - $780,.

HAD EVIL COMPANIONS.
Dog Corrupted by ConviviaI Biped
Associates.
From the Philadelphia Iuquirer.)

From the Philadelphia Iuquirer)
You have told one or two good stories
about cats said a friend the other day.
here is one about dog. i think il must
be the proverbial dog the fellows go out 10
see a man about between the acts at the
theatre. Only this is a real dog. and not
an imaginary one. He is a beautiful speci-
men Of the cocker spaniel breed. and 1
wouldn't part with him for money. l had
him with me at the seaside last summer.
and he became a great favorite with the
people al the hotel where / stopped. He
used to go out mornings to take run, and
now and again thought he was taking too
much exercise. for he would come home in
a sleepy, tired condition. utterly exhausted
and unable TO go out again all day. This
sort OF thing didn't please me bit. and I
was on the point Of requesting the other
men in the hotel not to take him out. when
one afternoon a terrible thing occurred.
He came home so thoroughly played out
that he staggered and reeled all over my
room, and finally lay down and kicked and
moaned. l sent out at once for a reterin-
ary surgeon. and said l thought my dog
had fit. The doctor came. but when he
saw the dog he began TO laugh.
"' How this?' said. how can you laugh
when my dog is SO sick?'
"Oh, dear, not was his startling reply.
between peals, he isn't sick / thought
this would happen The dogs drunk
Then l found out that my dog had got
into the habit of going into the hotel bar
with his chance acquaintances, and had
made himself so friendly as sometimes to
be admitted behind the bar. Here he had
first began to play with the drippings from
the beer taps, and at last to lap them until
he had acquired a taste. When the bar
tender discovered this he. in spirit OF
fun. INDUCED that taste. Then he told the
customers, and they also left dress in their
glasses for the fun of seeing the dog drink
them. and at last get intoxicated. and thus
he would stagger home. The veterinarian
was frequenter of the hotel bar, and had
been an interested and participating OBJ
server of the whole thing.

TEXTILE WORKERS WAGES.
An Advance of Ten Per Cent In the
Eastern Cotton Mills.


Eastern Cotton Mills.
FALL RIVER. Mass, Dec. s.-The wages
Of cotton mill operatives will be increased
10 per cent on December IL. instead Of 5
per cent, the figure agreed upon at a for
mer conference. This decision was reach
ed this noon at another conference be-
tween manufacturers and the Textile Coun-
cil II was the outcome Of the notice OF
NJ c. Borden, New York's cotton king,
who announced Wednesday that the wages
OF his help would be increased 10 per cent
on December 4.
Operatives in other mills had virtually
agreed to accept per cent but when Bor-
denis announcement was made they re-
newed their demand for 10 per cent.
There was no discussion at today's confer
ence The manufacturers opened II by in
forming the Textile Council that the in
crease would be 10 per cent.
The agreement relative to the sliding
scale and promise OF no further discussion
OF the wage question for six months end
ing July, 1900, still holds. The Manufac-
turers' Association regards the attitude Of
Mr.. Borden as directly hostile to the or
ganization. The members sent commit
tee to him before the wage question was
taken up in conference, and 1t is claimed
by them that he agreed that conditions
did not warrant an increase in wages i'm
mediately, and that he told them that he
would abide by any decision reached in
the meetings of mill men and operatives.
His latest move was severe blow to them.
He il simply getting back at the manufac-
turers for their work Of two years ago.
when he relieved the market and kept the
mills going by coming in and taking all Of
the surplus stock. Then the mills sold
cloth for less than he had paid for it. and
he was a bad loser.
Yesterday the cloth market went up q
quarter and is firm at Ia cents. with
better than an even chance Of going higher
before the end of the week. Everybody
believes that the wave Of prosperity has
struck the city harder than ever In recent
years and it will be a most profitable win
ter for business men.
