 One-fifth of the land that can be ir- rigated on the UnICed States side of the line is already in the hands of the settlers and the other four-fifths is being taken as rapidly as the ir- rigation system can be extended.
 Prices of water stock were started at $8.75 per share or acre, with lib eral concessions to those who pur- chased the first 5O,OOO shares. The price was then advanced to $11.25, and on the first of October, 1901, the price was again advanced to $15, and by the first of January next, the pros pects are that the price will go to S2O a share. This will be cheap, for the price Of such land, with such a good water right and so cheap water will not stop until it reaches $50, S75 or SI00 an acre, and the advance under present conditions must be very rapid. The price of the land will still remain the same-$1.25 per acre. The prices of the water stock will be ad- Yanced so that it will keep pace with the price of land and water combined. The speculation is not in the land, but in the water.

 Peterborn, in New Hampshire, estab- nshed the first free public library in the United States in 1883, and as early as 1849 a general law authorizing taxation for library purposes was passed. Seven years ago such taxation was made con- pulsory and since then every town has been obliged to raise funds for library support. The first State library in the country was established by New Hamp- shire, grants for that purpose having been made before the Revolution.

4 Two Ton CIock

The largest suspended clock in the world is in the Liverpool street station of the Great Eastern railway. It hangs from the roof of that station, and it is valued at fl ,000 and is worked by cleo tricity. It took 12 months to build, and staff of skilled workmen were employed in its erection. The style is Gothic. The clock weighs two tons.
 The case measures 21 feet from the pinnacle to the base, but, including the hangings by which it is suspended, the measurement is 75 feet. The case itself is ten feet square and is capable of seat ing dining company of eight persons in side it, or is large enough to hold 20 per sons standing. The dials are six feet in diameter, or IS feet in circumference. The hands are made of aluminium for easier electrical working, while the dials are backed with opal for better illumina- tion. There are inside the clock AS 1G candle power lamps, the light being switched on from the platform when re quired.-London Answers.

ing the line from the Southern Pacific in a southerly direction through the towns of Ranchita, Imperial and Pa ringa to Calexico will be commenced in few days, and his portion of the road will be pushed to completion as soon as possible.
 Eirhth.-From the best information obtainable, there will be 50,00U acres of land under the Imperial Canal System put under cultivation during the coming season.
 Ninth.-The towns of Calexico and Imperial are already plated and the lots in these towns are now on the market. The towns Of Ranchita and Paringa will soon be platted, and the building operations therein com menced. Another season will prob ably see Eastside and Ganges con- menced.
 This is a summary of work thus far done in retaining the Colorado Delta and in developing the largest and what promises to be the most f1ourishing irrigation settlement for general farming and stock raising to be found in the United States.
 What of the products? It is detl- nitely known that alfalfa, barley and wheat will do as well here as any where; that more alfalfa can be grown to the acre here than in any other known section; that as a cattle and hog country, no section will pro- duce more feed for converting cattle and hogs into beef and pork. This will be the first staple industry.
 AS to fruit, those fruits grown will be early. Canteloupes and water melons are being successfully and proftably grown at Indio and Yuma These crops have netted the growers s100 an acre, or more, the past sea son, and the markets for these prod ucts are fast being developed.
 It is believed that apricots, peaches pears and grapes will do well in this cour try. All such fruits will be from four to six weeks earlier than similar fluits grown in the coast valleys oi Southern California.
 It is believed that the finest layer Tafsins in the world will be produced in the Imperial Settlements, for they will be cured by placing the grapes o1 trays and then stacking the trays and not exposing them to the sun at any time before being perfectly cured.
 All indications point to a rapid set

QUEER AMERICAN RIVERS.
One Florida River that Seems Unde-
 cided What to Do.


 cided What to Do.
 Every variety of river in the world seems to have a cousin in our collec- tion. What other country on the face of the globe affords such an assortm ent of streams for fishing and boating and swimming and skating-besides having any number of streams on which you can do none of these things? One can hardly imagine rivers like that; but we have them, plenty of them, as you shall see.
 AS for fishing, the American boy may cast his flies for salmon in the Arctic circle, or angle for sharks under a trop- ical sun in Florida, without leaving the domain of the American flag. But the flShing-rivers are not the most curious, nor the most instructive as to diversity of climate, soil and that sort of thing physical geography, the teacher calls it.
 For instance, if you want to get a good idea of what tropical heat and moisture will do for a country, slip your canoe from a Florida steamer into the Ocklawaha River. It is as odd as it's name, and appears to be hopelessly un- decided as to whether it had better con- tinue in the fish and alligator and drain age business, or devote itself to raising hve-oak and cypress trees, with Span ish moss for mattresses as a side prod uct.
 In this fickle-minded state 1t does a |
 little of all these things, so that when you are really on the river you think you are lost in the woods, and when you actually get lost in the woods, you are quite confident your canoe Is at last on the river. This confusion is due to the low, flat country, and the luxuriance of tropical vegetation.
 To say that such river overf1ows its banks would hardly be correct for that would imply that it was not behaving itself; besides, it hasn't any banks or, at least, very few! The fact Is, those peaceful Florida rivers seem to wander pretty much where they like over the pretty peninsula without giving offense; but if Jack Frost takes such a liberty presto! you should see how the people get after him with weather bulletins and danger signals and formidable smudges. So the Ocklawaha River and score of its kind roam through the woods-or maybe it is the woods that roam through them-and the moss sways from the Hve-oaks, and the cy- press trees stick their knees up through the water in the oldest way imaginable.

ANNEXING ARID AMERICA
5OO,0OO Acres Being Reclaimed By Col
 orado River Water
IMPERIAL CANAL SYSTEM

Southern California is just devel- oping the most extensive and import ant irrigation system to be found in Arid America The location of this enterprise is on the Colorado Delta, and the water for the reclamation of that country is taken from the Colo rado River, where the supply is more than abundant.
 In extent, the land to De reclaimed under this system includes about 500,- 900 acres in San Diego county, Cali fornia, and about 300 ,000 acres across the line in Lower california.
 The California Development Con- pany has charge of this work, which is generally known as the Imperial Canal System.
 In April, 1900, MT. George Chaffey founder of EtIwanda and Ontario, in san Bernardino County, Cal, and Mildura and Remark in Australia concluded arrangement with the Cali fornia Development company, where by he was to take absolute control o the enterprise and manage it to con- clusion. In this work he has been ably supported by oJner members of the company. Work was immediate ly commenced, and the progress made during the past year and half has been most remarkable nothing like ii being of record in the irrigation his tory of this country. A few of the advance steps may be noted as fol lows:
 First-The public domain in that country has been resurveyed, as most of the old stakes and land marks of the government survey had been obliterated.
 SecoHd.-The Imperial canal has been constructed so that water has now been introduced into the Imperial Settlements from the Colorado River
Holbrook argus., 1901-11-09

in quantities in excess of the demand made by the men who have taken over 100 900 acres of land from the government.
 Tbird.-The work of constructing The distributing systems of canals and ditches is progressing rapidly ana will he completed as rapidly as they may be needed for distributing water to the land owners who may need It.
 Fourth.-Although water for irriga- ton purposes did not reach the lm- perial Settlements until the middle or June of this year, over two sectlons of land have ueen planted to crops mostly sorghum and m1llet for 1eed- and these crops have grown beyond the most sanguine expectations of all narties interested, some of the sor- ghum having been already harvested and yielding ten tons of cured feed to the acre.
 Fifth.-A school distrct has been established, and school is now in operation with a competent teacher, and over twenty scholars under temporary brush shade supported by nine posts. This temporary structure was made because the law required the school to be opened by a certain date and there was not time to build a school house.
 Sixth.-A large number O. families are now moving into the settlements, taking in teams to work on the canal system for a while, afterwards to be used in putting il crops and improv- ing the lands of the settlers.
 Seventh.-A railroad is to be next on the program. The LOS AN GELES. IMPERIAL AND ARIZONA RAILWAY Company is being incor- porated to build a standard guage railroad from Yuma through the Im- perial Settlements in a northwesterly direction to Los Angeles, or to a con nectlon with some other line of rail road that will give entrance to Los Angeles under favorable conditions. On this line of railroad are located the towns of Imperial, Paringa and Calexico. This company also pro poses to construct a branch line from the town of Imperial in a northerly direction through the town of Ran chita to a connection with the South ern Pacific; also, a branch line from the town of Calexico in a southerly direction to the head Of the Gulf of the town of Ranch ta down through the Eastside Settlement on the east side of Carter River through the towns of Eastside and Ganges, to connection with the main line at Im- perial, or some point on the main line south of that town.

Economies of the Flat.

The flat is economical in other ways than are involved in the solution of the servant problem and the payment of large rents and gas bills. They discourage fads and collections. No dweller in a fat can accumulate pictures, books, coins, min erals, postage stamps, children or porce- lains, because there is no place to put them. Therefore he puts his money into his stomach and the bank. With the in crease in flats has come the disappear ance of pianos and parlor organs, so that people sometimes sleep O nights, even in flats. And where there is no room for pianos it follows that there can be no room for the wife's mother or the country aunts and uncles or the nephews from St. Louis.-Brooklyn Eagle.

How to Signal to Mars.

Take a flag about the size of Europe and mount it upon staff the length of the circumference of the earth. Then generate sufficient electric fluid to illumi- nate the material, which should be of a conductive character. Having done this, apply the fluid to the material with the assistance of all the electric waves of the solar system. Next change the laws of nature in so much as they prevent the operation of waving so gigantic flag as the signal. Select a day when the condi- tions are favorable and put the apparatus in operation. Then, if the Martians are on the alert, they may possibly observe the signal and reply to it, say, in a couple of centuries. If you do not obtain a man.

A furrier is thus quoted in the Phiia- delphia Record: 'The styles in sealskin coats change so often that women are constantly having them made over. Few people realize just what this means 10 us Of course it means an increase in business. but l don't mean that. The cutting of sealskin is an art in itself. and the men who do it are experts and get experts salaries. The work of a seal skin cptter must be almost as delicate as thai of a diamond cutter.
