HIGH PRAISE FROM MILES.
Commends Services of Capt. Morton,
Chief Clerk at Army Headquarters.

Capt. ]. B. Morton. the efficient chief
ceived an autograph letter from Lieut.. Gen
Miles, commencing him the anniversary
of his thirty-third year of service for his
earnest, intelligent and valuable services
to the government" Gen. Miles said fur
Their: Your career as soldier was most
Commendable and honorable, and your
duties at the headquarters of the division
ant that General Sheridan, in coming to
Washington, desired your transfer to the
headquarters of the army, where your serv-
ices during the administration of my pre-
decessors, Generals Sheridan and Schofield
were appreciated.
For the past eight years l can say that
your knowledge of army administration, of
records, orders and the history of military
affairs has been invaluable, and you have
been enabled to conduct the duties of your
office and superintend the work of your
subordinates in a most Commendable way
During the Spanish war, when YOU were
made a captain of volunteers, and during
the absence of myself and staff officers in
Cuba and Porto Rico. you were left in
charge of the headquarters and records and
conducted the business of the office in a
most creditable manner.
Il consider that your services in the i'm
portant position which you have occupied
al army headquarters have been invaluable
and l trust that you may be continued in
one of equal responsibility, as l believe you
to be fully worthy of such consideration
and that ii would be in the best interests
of the government. / hope that you NAV
be promoted to some still more importan
position.

LAND UNDER IRRIGATION
Extent of the System as Applied to
Texas

According to bulletin issued BIZ the CEN
sus bureau there are 226 2o5 acres of land
under irrigation in the state of Texas The
system includes 1915 miles of canal and
cost 5.19l S15. The widest application of
the system has been made in connection
with the rice industry. The irrigated rice
plantations number 557 with an acreage of
10, 1896. In this connection the report says:
While all the large rice systems did not
prove successful in 1902 the failures for the
most part are not without remedy. Larger
experiences and better knowledge of soil
and crop requirements will obviate their re-
currence. and the industry which within a
few years has grown large enough to make
the importation of rice no longer necessary
Will doubtless expand until rice will be-
come an important export.
1t is stated that Texas now ranks second
among the states in the utilizati ton of I'M
foreground waters for irrigation. The de-
velopment of this source of water supply
mas been large in the Panhandle, the Llano
f.stacado. Edwards plateau and other sec
lions which are without surficial waters
ROWING wells are being brought into gem
eral use In many parts of the rice belt. In
l9oz oSo wells were operated to irrigate
~. Llp acres. The cost of these plants was
VIZ lo2 and the value of the irrigated prod
cc's more than double that amount
