The volume of work OF the Patent
Office has reached unprecedented fig
ures. and the regular character OF its
increase indicates that il is likely TO
continue
II has been estimated that the west
ern half of the United States would
sustain population as great as that
OF the whole country al nresent II the
waters now utilized were saved and
employed in irrigating the ground.
The first step in water conservation
has been taken by Congress in giving
authority for setting aside great
areas OF wooded land, largely for thu
beneficial influence which they exert
upon the water supply. This should
be followed by the construction with
in the forest reserves. and elsewhere
when practicable. of substantial dsms
impounding flo, d and waste waters.
Underground waters may be hal in
some localities where it is not prac-
ticable TO irrigate the surface BY
means Of stored water. The condi-
lions favors BILE for artesian wells are
believed TO exist In a number of 49,
ert areas, and it is probable that I'M
portant sources OF supply can be had
by artesian wells. The division Il
photography has begun the systematic
study OF some of these places. and mas
prepared maps showing the depth be
meath the surface Of the water-bea- ing
rocks.
There is no function within The
power Of the Government higher than
that OF making possible the creation
Of prosperous homes. In his speech
at Minneapolis. Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Throughout our history the success
of the home maker has been but an
other name for the upbuilding of the
nation" The remaining public lands
are the heritage of the nation and
should be held fer homes, being re-
served for actual settlers under the
homestead act. The area to be taken
bv anv one man should be reduced so
that when water has been conserved
by the Government the homestead
shall. in certain parts OF the country,
be limited TO so or even 40 acres
The investigations of the Govern
ment experts have shown that, for eX
ample. in Arizc ma, where high-class
fruits are cultivated, a family of Ave
can obtain a good living upon &C
acres, or. even 90. In the colder parts
of the arid region. where forage crops
are largely raised, the area may b
made 100 acres.
The water for irrigation should b.
distributed in conformity with the
laws of the State and without inter I
ference with any vested rights which |
have ALREADY accrued

The regular monthly meeting of the
Vermont State Association at the Carroll

large number of the members of the
association and their friends. The meet
ing combined business and pleasure. The
fore part of the evening was given over
to the business matters of the organiza-
tion.
one of the most important features
brought up was the maple sugar party
which it is the custom Of the association
to hold each year 1t was reported that
date for the affair could not be def
nitely set at present because it was not
certain when the sugar could be OBJ
tanned, 1t is probable that the party will
be Eeld some time early in April.
After the business had been disposed Of
there was brief programme of informal
speeches The Rev. DR.. Greene, pastor
of Calvary Baptist Church, delivered a
brief address pIentifully sprinkled with
anecdotes of boyhood life in the Green
Mountain State. He was followed by
II. b. Mouton, whose remarks followed
the same line. An interesting chalk tax
was given by VIII Chandlee. After the
Rev. Dr. Bradford had made brief
speech light refreshments were served

FOR BETTER MAIL COLLECTION
Boxes with Electrical Devices May
Be Tried To-day.

This afternoon postoffice boxes Will pe
erected on Pennsylvania Avenue, from
Eighth to Twelfth Streets, and covered
with bagging TO temporarily prevent the
deposit of mail These boxes are con-
nected with system of electrical de-
vices which Is calculated to detect a fail
ure on the part of a collector to take
any box on his route. Fred Williams,
of the Williams Electric Company. OF
Boston. has the matter in charge. The
device is attached to each box and regis
ters at the central Office the exact time
it is taken by the collector.
An automatic locking of the boxes ef-
fcctually prevents the collector from
skipping one box and taking the next.
They must be taken in rotation, begin
ming always with the first box. The time
ana number of the carrier is recorded on
a slip at the central office, and by this
system It is said the collection from each
box is not only guaranteed, but 1t is pos
sible TO locate the carrier at any time
while he is out on his route.
Mr. Williams has been working on his
boxes for years, and believes he has an
invention which viii prove perfectly sat.
isfactory in its operations. He Installed
d plant consisting of six boxes and re-
coTder in the basement of the city post
Office where he has been explaining the
system to the officials Of the free deliv-
cry bureau.
it is estimated that if the LOO boxes in
this city were fitted with this or some
similar invention il would save thousands
of dollars a year in locks and more than
enough time to give an additional deliv-
cry daily. 1t would also prevent the com
plants which are now made so frequent
" that mail is not collected from certain
boxes as regularly as the schedule calls
for A trial Of the Williams boxes vii
probably be made tonight.

plan for beautifying the Capital Of the
nation at a cost of from S25, ,co0o 900 to $3o,-
G00OD0 to be spent in twenty years. Mr
Smith explained in detail his plan for
making Washington a city Of magnificent
marks. He urged the subcommittee to go
TO Europe during the summer and visit
the cities Of art and culture and gather
ideas and impressions that would prove
beneficial TO Washington.
In the opinion. of Mr.. Smith, by the ju-
diciOus expenditure Of q few million dol
lars, Washington could easily be made
city Of continuous parks and the most
beautiful city in the world. At the con-
clusion Of his statement he made formal
application to be appointed agent OF the
committee to draw uD plans with de
tails and specifications for the improve
ment of the parks Of the city. Senator
Mcmillan, Chairman OF the committee,
said the committee would take the mat
ter under advisement and let him know

tending the parks IN the District was

REPORTS ON MANUFACTURES.
The Bulletins Now Being Prepared
1T the Censms Office.

The returns from the manufacturing
schedules of the Census Office are being
rapidly tabulated and compiled and Stat
istician North expects to begin the issue
of these bulletins very soon. In this work
it was at first contemplated that a bulle-
tin should be issued for each city of 20
000 inhabitants, but it was found that this
would entail the publication of 2l3 bulle-
tins. The mailing list of the bureau is
between 16.0u0 and 1900 and it was esti-
mated that to provide the envelopes alone
for these bulletins. exclusive of the paper.
the printing. and the clerical work in
volved, would amount to $4,000.
1t was therefore decided that forty-nine
bulletins should be issued, one for each
State and Territory. containing the man
ufacturing statistics by classes. counties,
and towns. An exception Will be made of
York, Pa, where a sesqui-centennlal cele-
bration has been recently had. The in
habitants of York are getting out a mem
Orial of the sesqui-Centennial IN the shape
OF a commemorative volume and desired

VOTERS AND THE POPULATION,
Comparative stntistics TO BE Given
by the Census Office.

William r. Merriam, Director Of the
Census, is having compiled a table TO
show the proportion OF the population
Of the large cities in the United States to
the popular vote cast at the national
election IN 1906 It is a favorite method
Of computing the population Of the cities
TO allow so many non-voters to each vote,
It being presumed that the women, chill
dren and those who fail TO exercise the
franchise stand in something Of a fixed
proportion TO the number Of males over
twenty-One years Of age who go TO the
polls.
Mr. Merriam has no idea that any ra-
tio can be found that viii be applicable
20 all parts Of the country, and il is part
IS for the purpose Of demonstrating the
contrary that the table viii be prepared.
Another method of computation IS by
multiplying the number Of names in the
directory 10y from two and a half to five
on the same theory. This method is also
secuted at the Census Office. The Di-
rector pointed out yesterday that a first
class directory might reveal in a large
city thousands Of names which might es-
cape one less carefully compiled, and II
would be very unjust 10 take the same
proportion IL each case
Particular attention is being given by
the Census Bureau 10 the investigation Of

and Antarctic regions.
Mr.. Bridgman gave a vivid description
of the trials and hardships of the PeaTy
expedition and presented many interest

newly discovered regions. Among the
views exhibited Were those of Rocky
HeadIand," of Cape George, natives,

that is what we are here for as any
