Use Of Submarine Boats.

Great Britain is among the last of

Of submarine vessels in future warfare.

Great Britain resembles many people

feel sick. wait until the last minute be-
fore seeking a remedy to cure them.
The majority of the people, however,
always keep a bottle of Hostetter's

the result that they always have good

survey acting under the new law.
Unless this is done, the reclama.
ton OF many valuable tracts of land
may be delayed. The men who are in
charge Of the national work have as
yet accomplished very little, and there
is danger that the methods by which
the cost OF public buildings erected by
the national government Is made much
greater than similar buildings erected
by private enterprise will be adopted
to the greatly Increased cost of all ma.
tional reclamation work.
THE efforts of the national govern,
ment will result in great good, nc

formidable for private enterprises;
but wherever private capital takes

be done at less cost and consequently

a spark from one of its engines caused
the burning of her deceased husbands

timony showed that the Santa Fe train
stopped at Ethel four minutes the
night of the fire, but also that the
fire was well under way before the
train pulled out, and the roads attor-

Colorado Is a state of gigantic pri-
vate enterprises, and hence any attempt
on the part of the government to pro-
mote irrigation is viewed with alarm.
They fear the government work will
be SO expensive that 1t will not be prof
liable for farmers to settle upon lands
under public reservoirs. While it is
probably true that private companies
and individuals could handle many of
the proposed undertakings at a less
cost than the government. it is also
true that the matter Of profit will be
entirely eliminated, and this item will
more than make up to the settler the
difference In cost.
In Colorado the people have had
much experience in reservoir and irri-
cation work, and it will not be the
policy there to permit the government
to take hold of any enterprise in which
there is a chance for private gain. The
government will be permitted to ex-
plot questionable propositions.
This attitude on the part of the peo-
pie of Colorado will doubtless result in
the diversion to other states of q large
portion Of the money which would 9th.
erwise go to the Centennial state.
In a recent discussion of irrigation
problems the Denver Republican
says:
when the policy of government re
clamation of arid lands was under dis
cussion prior to the enactment of the
irrigation law last year, the public
formed the opinion that the national
government intended to reclaim thou
sands Of acres of arid land in the far
west and save the people the cost Of
doing that work themselves.
That this was an error was we'll un-
derstood by all men who were inform
ed in regard to the plan which 1t was
proposed that the government should
do this work; but it is only Of late that
the people of the arid region have be-
gun to appreciate that the national
government does not intend to give
them anything more than they could
secure from a private enterprise.
1.-The law requires that the cost Of
a government reservoir shall be as
sessed against the land reclaimed and
that settlers upon this land must pay
enough for it to reimburse the irriga-
ton fund for the outlay. Consequent
ly, If the cost of the works is SO great
that it will make the price of the land
twice as great rs the amount for which
the land is selling under some other ir-
rigation system, the land under the
government reservoir will have to
wait for occupants until all cheaper
land is disposed of.
1T is possible that, in view Of the
expensive character of government
work compared with that Of private en-
terprise, much of the reclaimed land
will lie idle and that settlers will re-
fuse to have anything to do with it. In
all such cases the irrigation fund will
be deprived Of any reimbursement for
the expenditure, and thus a large part
Of the fund may be tied up in the early
years of reclamation under the ma
tional law.
These are matters that all persons
interested In the reclamation Of the
arid region should take into consider
alton. They suggest that private en-
