WORLD FAME OF THE OREGON:

William E. Curtis declares that the
battleship Oregon, built by the Union
Iron works of San Francisco, gave the
greatest boom to the export of Ameri-
can machinery that ever happened.
He adds: SIT is a singular but a
significant fact that the Oregon i.
famous in every port of the universe.
You can find the pictures Of that vessel
hanging in the slopshops of CONSTANT
nople and the coffee rooms of Damas-
u and Jericho. Indians in the in
terror of Bolivia who never heard of
Washington or Chicago have heard
that the Oregon is the finest ship
..afloat and will tell you the story of
her cruise around the continent.
Millions Of people never knew that
we built ships until after the batt4e
of Santiago, and it is strictly true
that the Oregon did more to create a
foreign demand for American ma
Schinery of all kinds than all the direct
that we're ever made.

PRIME IMPORTANCE.
The West to Be Greatly Benefited By
National Irrigation.

Speaking of retaining the arid
lands under Senator Hansbrough,s re-
Gently enacted law of congress, The
st. Paul News says:
There is no more important subject
before the people Of the United States
today than the reclamation:o of the arid
lands of the west.
Under the arid land law passed at
the last session of congress nearly a
thousand million acres of desert land
are to be- redeemed by irrigation.
The artificial application of water to
these lands will make them into farms
and orchards and cause flowers to
bloom where now there is nothing
but sparse sagebrush.
The subject is, of course, of prime
Importance to the west and to the six
teen states that will profit by the law.
But it is equally Important to the east
and to that other portion of the
country where nature does it's own ir-
rigation, because the opening of the
arid lands to settlers, the building of
farms in the desert places will create
new markets for the. manufacturer,
will make new business for the fac
tory and for the mill. An annual
trade easily much larger. than that
of the United States with Germany
will be ready at hand without the ex-
pense of international competition,
enormous transportation charges and
the vexations of tariff or reciprocity.
