An Editors Advice to Young Writers


Editors are just as likely to be at
feCted by appearances as other people
are. They try to be impartial But
they are only human. Strive as you
may to live up to the conception that
some of you have of them as superior
beings who are above the influences
that sway ordinary mortals, they can
not always avoid being pleasantly i'm
pressed by an attractive looking man
uscript. It's literary merit may in re-
atty be no greater than that of the
poorly prepared manuscript lying
alongside of it. But it's more present
able appearance may bring out its good
qualities so much more effectively as
to make it seem to the editor to be de-
cidedly the better piece of writing,
and thus lead to it's acceptance in
preference to the other-Franklin B.

to the famous Helen of Troy being the

The IRRIGATION Bill.

In his first annual message to Con-
urged national legislation toward the
irrigation of the arid lands of the West.
He knows the great West as no other
President ever knew it and he realizes
the almost unlimited possibilities of
those vast areas, particularly in the
Southwest, which are now barren and
worthless for lack of water. AS a re-
suit of his attitude an irrigation bill
has now passed both branches and has
gone to him for his signature. 1t is the
first general statute on the subject ever
enacted by Congress, and provides, in
brief, that the proceeds of the sale of
public lands in states be applied to the
construction of irrigation bitches and
reservoirs. the land so reclaimed to be
divided into homesteads and sold to
settlers. ,i 4
The bill had the active opposition
of many of the leaders in Congress, not
because they are opposed to the prin-
ciple Of reclaiming the arid lands but
because they object to some of the pro-
visions of the bill and fear that its ulti-
mate effect will be to draw hundreds of
millions from the national treasury.
Under the present law there is $4,000
appropriated yearly from the sale of
public lands for each of the agricultur-
al colleges in the country, including our
own at Orono. OF the proceeds of sell
ing the public lands are devoted to irri-
CATION, as proposed by this bill, these
institutions will either have to suffer
the loss of large part of their income,
or it will have to be paid out of the
general funds of the treasury. Neither
alternative is wholly satisfactory
one The bill provides that what money
is left from the sale Of public land af-
ter irrigation is attended to shall go to
the agricultural colleges, but this, of
course, means nothing for them. These
with other charges made against the If
rigation bill which were not fully an
swered. and doubtless President Roose-
Welt will give it careful reading before
he signs it in its present form.

The Production of Iron.

A bulletin of the United States Geolo-
gicai survey, just received, shows that
the production of iron in this county in
1901 amounted to 2S,SS7,479 long tons, a
year and the phenomenal gain of 40 per
cent. over 1898, only three years earlier.
The total value at mines of the ore
mined in 1901, as reported, was $40, 1885,
245, or mean value of Sill per ton, an
apparent decrease of Il cents, or 30 per
cent, from the 1900 figures of s2.42 per
ton. The value Of the iron ores mined
in 1900 was s66, $50, 5O4 The largest
amounts Of iron ores officially reported
to date. from any other countries, are
1866. $50 long tons, mined in Germany
and Luxembourg in 1900, and 1901 957
long tons mined in Great Britain in
1882. twenty-five states and one terri
tory mined iron ore in the year 1901, the
number of producing states remaining
the same as in 1900, Utah dropping out
and South Carolina taking its place.
As in the year 1900, Minnesota contrib
uted the greater portion of the increase
for 1901, and advanced to first place as
a producer, Michigan, which has unin-
terruptedly occupied this position since
the year 1881, now being second.
Minnesota contributed 11,1O9,537 long
tons. or 80 per cent. of the total for the
United States. and is easily entitled to
first place. In fact, with the exception
of the German Empire and Great Brit
ain, no country in the world has reach
ed go great total in any years as the
state of Minnesota in 1901, and this
phenomenal product exceeded by 3,-
9S9.175 long tons the production of iron
ore of all the mines combined. as re-
ported by the 10th census of the United
States in 1880. Michigan ranks next,
with a total of 9,654,O67 long tons OF
iron ore. Alabama ranks third, with a
production in 1901 of 2,SO1, 1872 long tons.
with nearly 10 per cent of the total.
Pennsylvania regained fourth place,
contributing 1,O4O,6Si tons, Virginia and
West Virginia. combined, ranked fifth,
Mining 925,3 1894 tons, an increase Of near
ly per cent. over their total for 1900.
Tennessee increased her output SO per
cent. over the total of 1900, and ranked
sixth with 1S9,49i tons. Wisconsin came
seventh, with 1885, S6S tons. New York
was eighth, with APO, 21S tons. a decrease
of ) per cent. over the state total of
1900 Corolado ranked ninth, with a to-
tai of 4O4. .O37 tons. Some of the Colo
RADIO ores carry enough silver to mako
them valuable on that account, and
theI efore they are not included in this
report New Jersey came 10th, with
A0t .9S9 tons. an advance of II per cent.
upon the 1900 output. Georgia and the
two Carolinas together contributed 2l5,-
5g9 long tons of iron ore; and none OF
the remaining states, except Wyoming
produced over 100000 tons Of iron ore.

To drop the eyes at times is right
Id even recommend it;
1t is Il very fetching sight,
And good results attend it.
But drop them not forever, then
Shalt not learn late for sorrow,
Who drops and finds her eyes again
May play the trick tomorrow.
Wisdom in women doth no harm;
The wise may find lover;
But more the eyes have power to charm,

Why cause me all this worry?
Just take the good old names once more.
And do il in a hurry.

The defeat of Bates by Colby, Satur-
day, was not the first time in recent
years that the Waterville colleeians by
winning the closing game of the season
with Bates have materially assisted
BoWdoin in winning the baseball
championship of Maine. 1t happened
in the spring of 1896. Then Bates
seemed to have the championship all
won and had actually INDUCED in an
extensive celebration. The closing
game with Colby. however, resulted in
an unexpected defeat and left Bates
and BoWdoin tied for first place. This
was perhaps the first time in history
that a Colby victory resulted in the
ringing of the Bowdoin chapel bell and
a general jubilation on the Brunswick
campus. Bates and Bowdoin then
played. an extra game and the latter
easily won. This year 10 extra game
is needed as the defeat of Bates by
Colby gives Bowdo;n a clear claim to
first honors. Had Bates won it would
place.
