THOMAS II. MEARS.
Deals With the Subject Of Alkali
Reclamation.

Mr.. Thomas II Mears OF the United
States department Of agriculture spoke
Of alkall land reclamation. He said in
part;
Drainage in connection with irriga-
ton, has not been practised In Amer
lea, and the result has been the swamp
ing of large areas of land In the irri-
gated districts and the drainage to 9TH
er lands by the rise of salt and alkali
to the surface
Drainage experiments have been
carried on by the bureau OF soils upon
the reclamation OF alkali lands and the
removal of surplus water stations
have been established at Salt Lake city
Fresno and North Yakima. The re-
suits so far obtained at these places
clearly show that the large areas of al
kali land In the west can be reclaimed
al cost far below the actual increase
In value of land, and that those lands
injured by seepage water can be re-
turned to fertility and the danger of
rise of alkali In them entirely obviated.
THE general study of the drainage
problem In irrigated districts is being
energetically pushed and most encour-
aging results are being obtained. The
best distance apart, the best depth OF
drainage. the question OF whether open
or tile drains are being studied and the
farmers are put In possession of the
facts obtained as soon as possible. The
results so far obtained clearly indicate
the value of drainage in irrigated land,
and II Is thought that the time will
soon come when drainage Is as common
and as well known in the irrigated dis
tricts, where land is very valuable, as
are the tile drained fields OF the middle
west, where values seldom exceed 500
per acre

PRINCE FERDINAND or BULGARIA
If He is Persuaded His Throne is De.
pendent on a War, War is
Certain.
THE OCCUPATION OF MACEDONIA.
Project for an Austrian.Russian One
Has Been Abandoned, Not to
Be Renewed.

Berlin, Sept lS.-The German gov.
eminent holds in view four points in
the Balkan situation.
First, does Russia regard that the
time for the breakup OF European
Turkey has arrived? The German min
listers have been unable to penetrate
Russia's uun'tc intentions and not
with displeaSure the concerted attacks
OF the st. Petersburg papers on Ger
many which is described as being in
the background and taking pleasure in
the extlrpation Of the Slavs In Eu-
ropean territory.
Second. II Prince Ferdinand is per-
suaded that his throne is dependent on
a war with Turkey the war Is certain.
Every effort should be made to tran
quilize Prince Ferdinand's mind
Third, the meetings of the sovereigns,
attended by their foreign ministers, are
expected to clear up the ObsCurities Of
the situation and enable German
statesmen TO forecast the future. The
emperors OF Germany and Austria meet
at Vienna today The ear meets
Emperor Francis Joseph Sept. 80 and
will then visit the king OF Italy. Events
are expected to remain quiet until after
the 18th unless Bulgaria refuses to
wait.
Fourth, the project for an Austrian
Russian joint occupation of Macedonia
has been wholly abandoned and there is
not the least likelihood OF a renewal
OF the proposition,
Despite the fact that the Balkan
situation has grown worse, Turkish
funds rose again on the bourse today.

BRUTAL THUGS.
They Rob and Beat Victim Who is
Now in the Hospital.

on Wednesday night near Center
and Apple streets, Frank Glydenstein
of this city was stopped by two masked
highwaymen armed with revolyers,
robbed Of $3.50 and then beaten over
the head with reyolvers because he did
not have more money with him. SO
serious were the injuries he received,
that 1t was necessary to send him to
the Holy Cross hospital, where he Is
under the care Of DR.. Odell.
According to the story told by Glyd-
enstein, he was on his way home when
confronted by the two thugs, who or
dered him to throw up his hands He
complied with the command and while
one robber kept him covered with
gun, the other searched his pockets for
valuables. Glydenstein lnughingly re-
marked that they would not get much
from him. This angered the thugs
and they beat him Numerically on the
head with their heavy revolvers. He
fell unconscious to the sidewalk and
the thugs escaped When Glydensten
came to, he made his way home and
summoned DR.. Odell to dress his
wounds. The doctor at once sent him
to the Holy Cross hospital whore an
operation was performed to relieve his
suffering DR.. Odell says that, while
the wounds are not considered danger
Gus, they are extremely painful.
The robbery has never been reported
to the police department, according to
tn officers.

The Encouragement replied that the

o'clock he was struck by a Murray cleo
trio car IN charge Of a motorman who
is not the same man whose car killed
Albert Granger few nights ago, as
stated In morning paper
How the accident happened cannot be
definitely learned. IL appears he was
driving up State street and had started
across the street at the crossing near
Nitus avenue, when the horse. seeing
the headlight of the approaching car
gave a bound and landed across the
track The car was so close, however,
that IT hit the buggy with full force,
separating the horse from IL. The bug
Ky was completely demolished and
Dawson was thrown In the air, lighting
on his head when he came down, When
he was picked up he was dead.
An empty whiskey flask was found In
Dawsons pocket and the probabilities
are he had been drinking There were
IA passengers on the car who rushed
to the mans assistance, but were too
late to do any good. Deputy Sheriff
Joseph Sharp was the first officer who
appeared upon the scene, followed soon
after by Sheriff Emery. Coroner + NJ.

was taken to S. d. Evans undertaking
establishment to await the further or
der OF the coroner.
Dawson was man about 45 years Of
age having a family. and lived IN Myr-
tie street near Kensington avenue.
Today's developments indicate that
the unfortunate mans death was due
entirely TO his own indscretion, I'm that
he turned his vehicle suddenly In front
of the street car so that the motorman
could not have OWNED what he was
about TO do. The motorman reversed
his current and applied his brakes, but
the movement OF the horse was so
quick that he could not stop the car
In time, and the buggy was struck
amidships and rolled over with the oc-
cupant who sustained injuries TO his
head that proved fatal Capt Bishop,
the county coroner after hearing evil
dence this morning, did not consider
an inquest necessary.

+. w. MONDELL.
Opposes Repeal of Desert and
Other Laws.

Fhe Hon. f. w. Mondell spoke against
The repeal Of the desert and other Ian
laws. He said In part as follows:
The agitation for the repeal of the des-
ert land law the timber and stone act
and the communication clause Of the home
stead act Will receive scant support in
the public land states.
Under the desert land law more land
has been reclaimed from the desert and
made fruitful than under all other laws.
and It's repeal would greatly retard fu-
ture irrigation development, The repeal
OF the timber and stone act would de-
prive the r9nchman and farmer OF an
opportunity tn secure a timber lot, would
establish government timber monopoly
troublesome, perniclous. and contrary to
the spirit OF our institutions. The repeal
OF the commutation clause OF the home
stead law would discourage and retard
settlement AMI development by reason of
the menace 20 the homestead settler OF
loss OF homestead right labor and improve
menis should sickness. death low prices
or shortage Of crops render II impossible
for him to maintain continuous residence.
1.-THE laws I'm question have furnished
nearly $500 900 Of the sic, 10000 now to the
credit Of the irrigation fund and their
repeal would amount TO a repeal OF the
national irrigation law
1.-THE people Of the public land states are
forced TO the conclusion that a large part
Of the agitation for repeal emanates from
large corporate land and lease own
crs. who see IN the withdrawal Of public
land from market greater demand for
their proDerty."

Some weeks ago Captain Workman

ties OF Hercules powder and giant caps
Ia their stores They were repeatedly
warned about it and some,of them lost

Wood said he did not propose 10 stand
ii any longer and at once conferred
with the city authorities and fled
complaint against the company Under
the law, no person Is allowed 20 keep
more than one pound OF powder on
hand. and that Is merely for sample
and cannot be kept only by permission
In this instance the company has Just
1893 pounds on hand, more than the law
allows.
Chief Wood said that on more than
one occasion the department had been
reliably Informed that the company had
had as much as a ton Of explosives In
the storehouse over niSht. In the event
Of a serious fire he declares the powder
would explode and simply blow the
block to pieces. Il means the placing
OF many lives and a vast amount Of
property In most serious danger. He
says further that the company has beSu
repeatedly warned about the matter but
