NATIONAL ERECTION.
A Vast Territory Which Can Be Re- claimed only by Govern
 ment Aid.

Professor F. II. Newell, hydrograpf CT of the United States geological sur vey, now in Salt Lake and in recent interview made a strong plea in favor of the National Irrigation association. This is an organization formed for the purpose of securing aid from the gen eral government for the construction of storage reservoirs in which to hold the flood waters of the arid region that they may be utilized for irrigation. Ex-senator J. NJ. Carey of Wyoming is it's president, and q vice president for every state and territory in which irrigation is practiced will be appoint ed. The association will continue to urge upon congress the duty of con structing such reservoirs. and the ne cessity of such action is very clearly set forth by Mr. Newell.
 One third of the United States, ex- elusive of Alaska, he asserts, is still open to settlement. It isa area three times as great as the thirteen original states. In this vast territory are ex- tensive resources, including minerals, grazing facilities and agricultural lands of extreme fertility, if brought under water. The utilization of this land, he adds, ''is practically at stand still, owing to lack of means of conserving water. Pioneers have traversed the country seeking for water supply and have settled along the creeks and smaller rivers issning from the noun

DEWEY LOVING CUP
The Largest One Ever Made to Be
 Given the Admiral.

Admiral Dewey will be presented,
 on his return to New York, with the largest loving cup that was ever pro. duced by the silversmith's art Sev- eral hundred men have been working on the cup for two months at the
 works of the Gorham Manufacturing Company, New York, and it will be completed, it is hoped, by September 20. The cup will be built literally of dimes sent in popular subscriptions by patriotic Americans at home and abroad, and will be six feet in height, or four and one-half inches taller than the Admiral himself. It is ex- pected that the total subscription will reach something upward of 50.OOO dimes. Rich and poor alike have con tributed only one dime each. The children have had great share. and many a little one has sent dime who will live long to remember the day when Dewey fought and won the bat tie of Manila Bay. \ few weeks still remain in which to complete the sub scription. Up to date F. dimes have been credited by the keepers of the fund. Manager Charles G. Allen, of the Gorham company, has just given out description of this won derful cup. It will be ovoid in shape. with three handles; massive three cornered base and a dome-shaped nov able cover. On the ovoid body there will be three panels, representing in relief the battle of Manila Bay, the AdmiraPs home in Montpelier, Vt. and the third will be representation of the enthusiastic reception and de- monstration of the American people

AN ARIZONA INVENTION.
New liiuminant which is World
 Beater.

An invention is being exhibited in kiDgman this week which will revolu ize the burning of aceytelenc gas. The ordinary aceytelene gas burner is made with two tubes, so constructed as to mite the gas with air and produce the flame. A. F.. Cbarlesworth conceived the idea of uniting the proper quanti- ty of mir with the gas in the reservoir, before going to the burners He en. listed the financial backing of Banker If. H. Watkins in the invention, and constructed n machine for that pur. pose. How well he succeeded is prac tically demonstrated in Mir. Watkins drug store, which is lighted with the gas. The old style burners were re- placed with common gas burners which emit the gas through straight mar row slit. The burners formerly used were of half-foot capacity and the new burners are the same, but the new ones only consume one-seyenth the gus the old ones did, and three burners take the place of ten. At first the ten were replaced by six of the new ones, but 1t was found thnt the light was far too brilliant and SD they were cut down to three. This invention will place acey. tclene already the cheapest of illumin- ating gases. far in the leal Kingman Cor. Albuquerque Citizen.

A CHANGEABLE CABINET.
Only Three of the Eight Original Members Now Remain.

Of the eight men who sat down at
 President McKinley's council table at
 the beginning of the administration on-
 ly three remain, says n writer in Leslie's s
 Weekly. These are secretaries Gage,
 Long and Wilson, respectively of the
 treasury, navy and agricultural depart.
 ments. Secretaries Sherman and Day
 of the state department followed each
 other into retirement from that office,
 and the portfolio went to Col. Hay.
 AttorneyG General McKenna passed to
 the supreme court, and Gov. Griggs of
 New Jersey took the vacant place. Secretary Bliss of the interior depart
 ment was succeeded by MT. Hitchcock. Postmaster-Ge General Gary gave way to Charles Emory Smith, one of the hard est workers Tn the cabinet, and now Gen. Alger has stepped out of the war office, and Elihu Root of New York has stepped in. All these changes have occurred in less than two and half years.
 Seldom has this record been equal led. All the original mem bers of Wash ington's cabinet were out before the end of their chiefs service, but this continued during eight years, and the cabinet then had oaly four members the heads of the state, treasury and war departments, respectively, and the attorney general. There was a clean sweep during President Adams four years, but Adams had adopted all the members of Washington's cabinet as it existed at the latter's retirement, and most of them were never in harmony with him. A new cabinet post, that of secretary of the navy, was created in Adams term, but the incumbent disa. greed with bis chief, and he. too. had to go.
 The only other presidents who have had such sweeping changes in their cabinets as have occurred in the past two years were Jackson and Tyler. The Peggy O'Neill war'' iu Jacksons case caused, in about two years, the retire meut of five out of the six membtfs which the cabluet had then. On ac. count of the bank fight, all of Tyler's cabinet except one, the secretary of state, retired in less than n half year after Tyler's service began. Taylor's entire cabinet went cut in a year and third. but this was because of the death of their chief Many changes occurred in the Johnson and Grant cabinets, but not as many in the same length of time as in President McKinley's.
 All presidents, of course, when they enter office, are anxious to retain their unbroken Co the end of their service. All have failed, however, in this respect except one. President Pierce's was the only cabinet Tn Ameri- can history which remained unbroken until the close of the presidential term. Three of the seven members of Pierce's William l.. Marcy, secretary of state; Jefferson Davis, secretary of war, and Caleb Cushing, attorney gen eral-were men of marked influence and ability. John Quincy Adams al- most equalled the Pierce record of a quarter of n century later, but he had one change in his four years, that of secretary of war.
 And the record of changes of Presi- lent Mckinley's cabinet may not he closed.

TYING Up or THE PLANT ESTATE.
Few States Besides Connecticut where 1t
Could Have Been Done.


The statutes Of the State OF Connecticut. un-
der which the will OF Henry b. Plant was ad-
mitted to probate Yesterday. differ materially
from those OF nearly every other State in the
Union with regard to the tying up OF estates in
trust. Mr.. Plant left the greater part OF his
property to continue in trust for the heirs OF
his widow. his son. Morton +. Plant. and Henry
Bradley Plant. his 4-year old grandson. until
the Grandsons youngest child shall be 81 years
old In most States the trust could not con-
tinue more than twenty-one years after the
cessation Of the second life in being at the time
OF the death OF the testator-that is to say, a
man could not postpone the breaking up OF his
estate later than twenty-cne years after the
death OF his grandchild.
Section 1852 Of the General StNtutes OF Con-
necticut. revision OF 1887. reads:
No estate in fee simple. fee tail or any less
estate shall DO given by deed or will to any
persons but such as are at the time OF the de-
livery OF such deed or death OF the testator in
being or to their immediate issue or descend
ants"
Under the Plant will the estate will remain in
trust until Mrs. Plant and Morton +. Plant
die and Henry Bradley Plant. now years old.
less than II years old. The trustees will then
divide the estate among the children OF Morton
+. and Henry Is. Plant. That Morton F. Plant
was named as an executor and trustee seemed
to lawyers who spoke OF the matter yesterday
proof that no distrust OF his son was at the
bottom OF Mr.. Plants extraordinary zeal to tie
up the estate.
