Senator Hansbrough Of North Da-
kota is working assiduously Tor the
irrigation. bill, the provisions Of
which were agreed upon by tbe in
formal "committee of seventeen. 4"
In reply to my question as to how
he met the argument that govern
ment irrigation would simply result
in bringing more land into conpeti-
ton with eastern farmers and tend
to lower the prices of their products
the senator made the following
statement:
"The settlement OF the humid and
sub-humid public lands during the
past decade has proceeded at the
rate Of eight to fifteen million acres
per year and an examination of the
prices of farm products will show
there has been no depreciation in
values on the contrary. the aver
age price of farm products for last
December was higher than for any
similar period during the decade
and this, notwithstanding the fact
that there were disposed of and set
tied upon during 1900 and 1901 over
twenty-five million acres of public
lands.
"Now then, according to the most
liberal estimate there is not sufii-
cient water in the arid and sub-arid
regions to irrigate over fifty or sixty
million acres Under the provi
sions of my bill the limit of expend-
iture is based upon the proceeds of
sales from public lands which last
year did not exceed SO, 900, 900 net.
Assuming the proceeds from the
sale of public lands to amount to
$4,000, 600 per annum and the cost Of
constructing irrigation works to
amount to IS per acre it will be seen
that not more than one million
acres would be reclaimed a year,
that it would take fifty or sixty
years to irrigate the land for which
we can obtain water and that this
gradual reclamation would produce
no effect on the prices Of farm prod
ucts. Even with largely increased
proceeds from the sale of public
lands the reclamation would be too
slow to work injury to the eastern
farmers.
"As to the expense, the bill pro-
vides that the settlers on land bene-
fitted by the irrigation shall pay
pro rata for the cost of constructing
the works, presumably IS per acre.
1t further annals the commutation
clause of the homestead law in so
far as irrigated lands are concerned
so that the settler will be Obliged to
actually live on the land for five
years and so removes the dan
ger of the lands falling into
the hands Of speculators Senator
Hanshorough said he expected soon
to call on the president and explain
TO him the workings of his bill
which he felt confident would meet
with Mr.. Roosevelt's approval.

To Representative Tawney Of
Minnesota is dre the credit OF a very
important Amendments TO the Henry
bill which IS intended to take the
place of the Grout bill for the re.
gulation of the sale of oleomarga-
rine. Mr. Tawuey secured the
insertion Of a provision in the bill by
which any person coloring oleomar r.
garine and selling the colored
product to another will b. regarded
as manufacturer and be subject
to the same conditions. Speaking
on the subject yesterday Mr..
Tawney said:
Il ascertained that it was the
custom in many places and particu-
larly in Denmark for the dealer in
oleomargarine to furnish with each
package a capsule containing color
ing matter By simply warming the
oleomargarine and adding the color
ing matter it became easy for the
dealer, restaurateur OF boarding
house keeper to produce an article
which readily deceived the consum.
er. That being the case l felt that
the dairy interests would not be ad-
equately protected without the addi-
ton of the CLAUSE you refer TO- A
final clause has also been added pro-
viding a penalty for the infringe
ment of the law.

sideration of the Senate bill to promote the
efficiency of the revenue cutter service. It

OF revenue cutter officers.

Her Distinguished Husband.
John P. Hale, husband of Mrs Hale died
at Dover. N. H. November 10. 1873. He was
distinguished as United, States senator
and as minister to the court of Madrid.
While In Congress, 1873 45, he defended the

of Texas as the New Hampshire legislature
had directed its representatives to do.

was increased by his canvass of the state as
a free soil candidate and his debate with
Franklin Pierce in June. A year later he
was again in the legislature, was made
speaker, and six days later was elected to
the United States Senate. He had declined
a nomination for the presidency from the
