TO RECLAIM ARID LANDS.
Bill Drafted Providing for National
Aid to Irrigation.

The members of the committee of seven
teen senators and representatives appointed
by the full congressional representation
from the western arid land states to draft
a bill providing for national aid to irrlga-
ton, have completed the bill they were au-
thorized to name, but 1t will not be intro
duced I'm either house of Congress until
after the Christmas holidays The bill en-
bodies some of the provisions Of both the
Shafroth and the Observation-Disclosures
bill Its central idea is the devotion OF the
proceeds of the sale of the public lands to
the reclamation of those lands. II also in
creases the price of the public lands to be
benefited by the proposed irrigation enter
prises so as To make settlers pay part OF
the cost of construction
The bill provides that all moneys received
from the sale and disposal of public lands In
the arid land states shall be set aside as a
reclamation fund, that examination and
surveys of reservoir sites, tunnel sites for
diversion of waters and irrigation canals
connected Herewith shall be made: that the
Secretary of the Interior may withdraw
from public entry the lands required for
irrigation works, and the public lands pro-
posed to be irrigated by them, and that
upon the determination being reached that
any irrigation project Is practicable con-
tract shall be made for Its construction II
the estimate of the engineer shows that the
cost will not exceed $40 per acre on the
land to be reclaimed.
After CONSTRUCTION tne lanus 10 De lrrl-
gated are to be subject to homestead en-
try in areas not exceeding eighty acres
upon the entryman's paying IS per acre to
the reclamation fund. This fund is to be
used for the operation and maintenance Of
reservoirs and irrigation works until pay
ments for the land settled upon are made,
when all the irrigation works except the
reservoirs shall be turned over to the set
tiers, who are required as a body corporate
to operate and maintain them. 1t also pro-
yfdes that in the event that there is Suf-
ficient water for public and private lands
water rights may be sold for the irrigation
of private lands at price of not less than
IS per acre
Full power is given TO condemn lands
needed for reservoir and ditch purposes. IL
is provided that state laws shall govern in
the matter of the appropriation and distri-
button of waters. Power to make general
rules and regulations is vested in the Sec
retary of the Interior.
This bill will be submitted Wednesday to
a meeting of all western senators and rep
resentatives, when, IL adopted. it will be in
troduced In both Senate and House.

A NEW EXECUTIVE MANSION.
Incumbent on the Country to Give the
President a Comfortable Dwelling.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer


From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Presidents house was originally
erected simply private residence.
When Jefferson became the first tenant for
a full term 1t was more than adequate for
the purpose. The nation was small and
executive business light. SO that but q sim
gle secretary was needed to conduct all
the business involved. Since bis day the
nation has grown and the necessary officials
have increased until the rooms allotted the
President and his family are few and not
comfortably arranged. The proposal TO build
an Executive Mansion Is not new one.
In one shape or another II has been dis
cussed in Congress ever since the war. but
now II is an imperative matter. 1t Is pro-
posed TO put up building that shall ac-
commodate the Presidents offices and those
of his clerical force and be used for all
official purposes. while the present mansion
will be used as a home. This Is sensible
and perhaps more practicable than the for
meI plans TO enlarge or extend the White
House, since II would permit OF the separa-
tiou of the official and social features of an
administration.
to give the Chief Magistrate comfortable
home, which at present. be has not. II Is
quite likely that Mrs. Roosevelt sighs for
the roomy home on Sycamore Hill wher
she finds herself confined to a few rooms,
and these not the most delightful There
is no sense In the sfinginess witt. which
Congress has treated the executive in this
regard and we trust that this Congress will
DO something to relieve situation that has
at times become almost unbearable. The
White House could be made most agree
able as a residence and as a place for so.
cial functions. Now IT'S chief use Is to
anord ONCE room to conduct the business OF
the executive.

About Ozone.

Many people talk about ozone with
out so much as knowing what ozone is.
There is a prevalent idea that it is
something you get at the sea and that
it is good for the lungs. What that
something is. however. few people
have sufficient curiosity to inquire.
Ozone Is what chemists call an allo-
tropic form of oxygen-that is to say,
it is oxygen in a highly active and
concentrated condition. In ordinary
pure air ozone exists, but only in what
chemists call traces; larger amounts
are found in ocean and mountain air.
1t instantly disappears when brought
in contact with decaying matter. dis
sipating itself, as it were, in the act
Of oxidizing that matter. Ozone is
