which dates back to the earliest perion

today In more than half tine world.
Although OF course it was intended
moro especially for the information and

contains q great deal OF matter which

effect upon the irrigation legislation

In referring 10 the alleged danger Of
disastrous competition with the existing
farms IN the eat md west. Mr.. Newland-
says In part; alt has only to DO borne
in mind that the entire area capable Of

tboErea OF the two States Of Iowa aud

but the assistant had not shown up

immense wooden pipe representations
In front be either rounded, or made

moved altogether lie says that the
waves Of sound impnging against the
iat surfaces as they come from the
organ, are thrown back into the space
from whence they came, diminishing
