RETALIATION SERVICE.
First Annual Report of Chief Engineer
Newell

The first annual report Of the reclama ton
service. by Mr.. F. H. Newell, chief ensi-
neer, which will be published as a con-
gresslona document. is about to be issued
by the United States geological survey.
In his letter of transmittal the director
OF the survey notes that the reclamation
law of June II, 1902. which is quoted in full.
is SO general In its terms that its success
or failure may be said to rest almost wholly
upon Its administration. innumerable de-
tails not being touched upon in the law
The work OF examination and survey is
described by states. In most instances the
held work is still in progress, and in near
~ every locality there are alternative meth
DDS of reaching the desired end the rela-
tive merits of which cannot be determined
Until careful estimates have been made In
brief, 1t may be stated that work has been
carried on in the following localities in the
various states and territories On Salt and
ella rivers in Arizona; on Colorado river
in California: on North Platte, Gunnison
and Grand rivers In Colorado; on Snake
river in Idaho: on the deepwell problems of
western Kansas; on Milk river in Montana:
on the artesian well probabilities Of western
Nebraska: on Carson and Truckee rivers in
Nevada; on the artesian probabilities of
central oregon; on Bear river in Utah; on
Yakima river in Washington around Lake
De Smet and also Sweetwater river in
Wyoming.
Al each or the places where systematic
work has been carried on preliminary tenn
porary Withdrawals Of public lands have
been made. but the areas which may be re-
claimed are indicated only in a general way
by these temporary segregations. The final
determination Of the reclaimable area rests
upon summation of all the facts of FEAST
bility and cost. so that 1t can be stated only
as the last Of series Of estimates
The impossibility Of stating in advance
what lands will ultimately be recommend
ed for reclamation will result in great dis
appointment to many persons. The fact
that lands have been temporarily set asid.
is, In the eyes of many. an indication tina!
these lands will be reclaimed; and although
every attempt has been made to warn in
dividuals of the futility of filing upon these
lands under the homestead law, they persist
In taking up the land on the bare possi-
bility that the surveys and examinations
will ultimately show it to be reclaimable
1t is an unfortunate condition which ap-
parently can not be corrected at present

Chess for the Blind.

It one day occurred to Prof. Goldberg
that. considering how often chess is played
blindfold, there ought to be no difilculty in
teaching the game to the really blind. He
communicated his idea to M. de la zeranne.
who took it up with enthusiasm, with the
result that at the valientin Hady Associa-
ton headquarters there has been inaugu-
rated special chess class for the blind. The
boards are influted in smooth squares, and
one set Of pieces Is rounded at the top while
the other is pointed. Charitable individuals
