Plus x. represents the newer spirit in
the church. moving toward ecclesiasti-
cal rather than political activity, and
his selection departs from the recent
traditions Of the Papacy. All recent
popes have not been of aristocratic lin
cage, but they have all had personal re-
lations with the group of Roman prince
~ houses which has, since the Renais-
sance, so powerfully affected and direc-
ted the fortunes Of the Papal See.
When Pecci. man of noble family,
was elected, the college of cardinals
had, in Howard, Schwartzburg, Hohen-
lobe, Bonaparte and Chigi. representa-
tives of five Of the Oldest or most pow-
erful houses in England, France, Ger
many, Austria and Italy. The college
holds hardly any such representatives
to-day. 1t is made up of the sons Of
obscure men, among whom only the
older members enjoy the old close per-
sonal relations with the higher ranks of
the social structure in Rome or in Eu-
rope.

some one whose lie was one Of affairs
and Of contact with courts. All popes,
whatever their origin or their career
have had this qualification. Plus X. is
a priest and only priest. His birth is
of the obscurest. His people come of
the lowest stratum of peasantry. He
was himself educated on charitable
foundation. Through the earlier years
Of his administration he was the OBJ
scure priest of an obscure parish. His
promotions have come slowly. Men are
not elected popes in their first youth,

CIV STILL RE RULLED.

jay Gould used to say that he was
"tull on the country" and he showed
his sagacity by his attitude. That the
United States can still be safely bulled
is indicated by the addition to its re-
sources which is going to be made by
irrigation Within the comparatively
short period since the irrigation act was
passed sixteen States have made great
advances in productiveness and pros
perity. Already 6,5oO,0OO acres of land
have been reclaimed and occupied, the
territory thus opened becoming fruitful
and affording homes for many thou
sands of people. In the arid and semi
arid zones there remain about 100000
900 acres of vacant public land and I'M
DER the storage system there is enough
water to irrigate about one-sixteenth of
this area. The accepted estimate is
that on an average an acre Of irrigated
land will support one person and it is
estimated that the government during
the next thirty years can reclaim
enough lands to provide homes for be-
tween 100000 and 100000 people.
Such facts show that the work which
the government, with local co-opera-
ton, has now entered upon is in eco
nonic Importance one of the. very
greatest public works ever undertaken
under Federal authority. The secre-
'tary of the Interior indicated in these
words the part that the national gov
eminent proposed to take: water
should be brought to the point where
the settlers can, with their own labor,
or by cooperation, construct bitches
and laterals to reclaim the desert land.
With the requirements of actual settle
ment and cultivation, to be followed by
the payment of the cost of storing
water, the speculative element will be
eliminated, leaving the ground free to
bona fide settlers" This policy cannot
fail to greatly increase the wealth and
resources of the country.

Il BAIT MORE con VENTfON

New Haven is probably the best Con
vention CITY," but it may be conceded
that Baltimore also has merit in that
line. In the first week of October the
League of American Municipalities will
meet in Baltimore. and there will be
great doings. II is expected that 125
cities will be represented and that there
will be six hundred delegates present.
A committee is to be appointed to show
the delegates the many points of inter-
est in the city as follows: Public build
ings, trust companies, banks, ETC.,
parks and squares. railroad terminals
and elevators, drydocks, Notifications,
ETC., foreign and domestic fruit BUSH
ness. oyster-packing establishments,
municipal subways, city railways and
powerhouses, garbage reduction plant,
fire department and apparatus, to in
clude the. fireboat; street paving and
parking, STRENGTHENING apparatus If
any demand. a committee on church
architecture will be made a feature.
There will also be committee on pub
lie schools and colleges, the city water
system, harbor engineers department,
police department, city engineers de-
partment an executive committee, COM
mittee on lamps and lighting.
The delegates will see much in Balti-
more. but we don't believe they will
see as many dead trees as they would
see if they were in New Haven.

many members of the congregation at

you will kindly moderate your voice in
the singing of the hymns, etc. 1t is

ADJUSTMENTS

The Peddler's Claim at the opera
house Saturday evening was one of
the most entertaining little comedies
that has appeared in Weiser for some
time. Good actors and good scenery
added to happy plot full of enter.
tainment and attractive parts.
Monday the old, old, "Uncle
Toms Cabin" was the bill, and,
though it has appeared here many
times, it was greeted with a>crowded
house, and the familiar piece was
given probably better than ever be-
fore. The company puts on many
specialtles which give freshness tc

On the other claims there are shafts 10 feet deep. The workings all show a vein of good ore, two feet wide In the bottom of the 50-foot shaft the vein shows strong two feet of ore. which is said to give an average assay of $40 per ton, copper. gold and silver.
