a through study of sources and
permanence of the water supply Of
arid regions has been made to
enable Congress to legislate with
intelligence upon this important
subject.
In said of this work the Twelfth
Census will endeavour comprehen-
sively to show the present condi
ton and values of Agriculture in
the arid and sub humid regions;
the length, irrigable extent and
cost of the various canals, wells,
and bitches; the character, volume
and constancy of water supply:
systems employed in distribution;
amount paid for water and the
crops, acreage, and yield of irri sat-
cd farms.
This effort will be successful if
those interested in irri rigation shall
heartily cooperate with the Census
Office and its agents.
Within a brief period the main
schedules for taking the census of
irrigation will be distributed, and
Director Merriam requests that all
recipients prepare property to fill
them out and to return the m
promptly.

RECLAMATION AND UTILIZATION
OF ARID LANDS.

Washington, d. c., Jan. The
preliminary work of the Census
Office in collecting data relative to
the arid and sub humid regions
shows that during the past ten
years vast areas have been reclaim
ed by irrigation, both by ditching
from running streams and drilling
for subterrancan waters.
Where only Il few years ago the
sage brush struggles for existence
in the midst of Il waste of alkali
and sand, to day are fields o5 way
me gram and bIossomlng orange
groves. Hundreds of miles of
canals and bitches have been
constructed; hundreds of wells
have been sunk, and thousands of
acres of land have been cultivated
in zones where once the desolation
of shara resigned.
Moistencd bv fresh waters and
fortified by the rich silt of the
swift mountain streams, once
tracklesS wastes and deSOlate val
Icys in the arid Southwest, have
become as fertile as the famous
Valley of the Nile, and send forth
crops ofendless variety and exceed.
ing abundance.
Irrigation is intensive farming.
Where the water supply is ample,
it is sure farming. There are no
failures, and crops are enormous.
rhc experienced irrigator is Ink,
the trained engineer with his hand
N the lever. The movements of
his hand regulate the amount of
water supplied to his fields as
those of the engineer control his
engine.
In most of the irrigable sections
Of the West, fertalizcrs have never
been used, although the land has
been constantly cultivated for over
two centuries. In many sections
fields may be seen which have
yielded successive crops of wheat
forty years and show no diminu-
ton of productive strength.
Wonderful progress is shown in
the method Of constructing canals,
lams, and pumping machinery,
md in the manner of distributing
water. Modern inventions in
machinery have greatly Icsscncd
the time, labor, and cost of con.
Suuction and management and
made possible many gigantic enter.
priscs of lanl reclamation and
water utilization.
Mountains have been tunnclcd
and whole rivers have been lifted
from their beds spread over the
valleys prcciscIyas wanted. High
up in the ranges and on the elevated
| platcaus immense storage rescr.
voirs have been constructed to
imp0und the flood waters of the
streams so that the thirsty land
below shall not suffer during the
long rainlcss sumner
As the successful solution Of the
problems of conservation of flood
waters means the reclamation OF
millions of acres of public land,
the people naturally ask the Gov
crnmcnt to promote measures hav
ing this end in view. TO this dc
mand the Government responds

RUMORS OF PEACE AFLOAT,

NEW YORK, May "A dispatch TO

The first rumor Of peace has come from

reported by news agency to have offered
10 surrender with his entire Free State
force.
There are similar reports from Louren-

that Presidents Kruger ana Steyn. in
their consultations at Pretoria discussed
the eXpedlency of making preparations
for peace As President Steyn started st
once for Heilbrot. Il IL not improbable
that Dewet has offered TO surrender on
his own terms. and II IS reasonable to

men last night was that Kruger and
Steyn were making a determined effort
to draw the American government into
an ambuScade OF some kind. and under
