ESTIMATES TOO LOW.
Cost OF Irrigating Rocky Mountain Land
VIII BE SO or S11 an Acre
Instead OF SIS.

Washington, May SIT is going
to cost much more than was origin
ally estimated to perfect an irrigation
system for some of the arid lands in
the Rocky mountain region. When
the irrigation law was being urged
before congress it was estimated that
several million acres of arid lands
might be reclaimed and sold to home
steaders at about SIS per acre. The in
terror department has been securing
figures, based on preliminary investi-
cations by it's expert irrigation engi-
neers, which make it probable that
the actual first cost to place these
lands under water will be about $40
or $11 per acre.

We have every right to take a just

Strikes are still in evidence, in
some cases interfering with trade,
but there is little intention among
the workmen to attempt to secure
their ends by violence. Discussion
the presentation Of their claims in
arguments--is generally relied upon.
Arbitration is invoked to arrange
differences and to decide where there
is disagreement. This is an age Of
reason, perhaps the beginning Of
the time when right shall prevail
instead Of might. 1t does not neces-
sarily imply that men are less selfish,
but it intiimates that when questions
others are left to the
decision of those not personally in
terested in the question at issue rea-
son will determine what is Just.

tons Of American industries.
Twenty-Five reports from these dele
gates have been published. These
relate to as many different branches
of industry. The field of inquiry
was covered by forty-one questions
which the delegates were required
to answer. The questions related to
the early training of workmen in
America; their general social condi-
ton and the relations between en-
ploye and employer. The conclu-
sion of the organizer Of this enquiry,
Mr.. Mosely, is that "The true-born
American is better educated, better
housed, better fed, better clothed,
and more energetic than his British
brother and infinitely more sober.
AS a natural consequence, he is more
capable of using his brains as well
as his hands,"

A great automobile race was be-
gun at Paris last Sunday. The
autos were to run from Paris to
Madrid, distance Of 82I1l miles.
The tremendous speed developed by
the machines was twice that of a
locomotive engine. One of them
averaged SO miles an hour. The
average rate of a railway passenger
train is not more than 80 miles an
hour. The race was so destructive
to human life that the authorities
were forced to stop it before its con-
cluslon. Nine people were killed
outright and some 20 others injured.

The legislature has passed three
bills at its recent session that are of
transcendent importance. These
are the mortgage tax bill, the pri-
mary election bill and the bill for
taxing railway property upon its as
sessed valuation, in place of the
paesent method of taking certain
per cent. of the earnings of the
roads. The senate had passed a
bill exempting credits from taxation
but the assembly refused to concur,
when a measure passed both houses
providing for the taxation of mort
cages. The only feature in which
this bill differs from the present
law is in that which assumes to pre-
vent double taxation. In case of an
estate that is under mortgage it is
intended that the interest of the
parties to the property shall be taxed
separately-the holder of the real
estate being taxed only for the
amount of his interest and the
balance taxed on the amount Of the
mortgage. But the bill was amend
ed SO that it is left to the option of
the mortgagor whether the property
shall be taxed separate from the
mortgage.

The Study of Latin,

Twenty-Five or thirty years ago
Latin was more generally studied
in secondary schools than now.
Then a campaign to discourage the
study of the ancient classics in
these schools was begun and carried
on with considerable success. 1t
came to be generally thought that
Latin and Greek were useless to
people of the present day and as an
accomp1ishment-in the sense of
establishment - French, or some
other modern language, was more
to be desired. There is now re-
action from this policy and the best
scholars are insistently urging a
more. general study Of these truly
classic dead languages, especially
the Latin.
The value Of Latin is not general
1y appreciated. It is, in fact, by far
the most important element in our
language. One third Of the 100000
words in the English language are
of Latin origin. But this ratio does
not adequately determine the COM
mensurate value of the Latin ele-
ment. It must be understood that
it is largely through words derived
from the ancient classics that alb
stract ideas are expressed by us.
Those who spoke the early English
language only knew of tangible OBJ
jects and the necessary actions OF
life. They were unused to abstract
thought and had no word express
ing it. Then came the opportunity
of the aristocracy for their Latin
and Norman French. This change
| in the language was necessarily
gradual and slow, and is first ap-
| parent in the laws and literature OF
the day. The student of literature
will notice, even if he has never
studied the original Latin, that the
long words in the English language
are Of Latin origin, while nearly all
the short words are old English.
An intimation of the beginning of
Latin in our language, expressive
of the abstract, is seen in class of
abstract nouns" such as end in
"-age," i've ism" "-ant, F"
"-ment," etc. These are all of
Latin origin. Here the languages
meet-the English with its brevity,
simplicity and strength and the
Latin, lofty and musical in diction.
This combination forms the finest
medium of thought the world has
ever known.

Perhaps Russia's civilization is
not of the highest order, but con-
sidering the material to work upon
1t must be acknowledged that the
empire has made an enormous stride
in the right direction within the
last century. The vast area of the
empire, the diverse races, religions
and prejudices, the difficulty of COM
municating between the different
parts of the country, the ignorance
of the people in general, all these
were drawbacks. But the policy of
the government, both with reference
to its domestic and foreign applica-
ton has been of the wisest. Con-
sequently in its territorial additions
the people added to the Gominions
of the Great White Gar have bene-
fitted UNNECESSARILY by the change.
Manchuria will not suffer detriment
by Russian control.
