America The Victor.


Not much surprise is felt in the
United States at the result of the
yacht races, but apparently there are
some persons in England who think
American superiority is due more to
seamanship than to the boat build
ing. A suggestion made by few
persons in London that the faces be
sailed over again with the crews
changing places is evidently based
on this supposition. The money is
said to have been raised to pay the
expenses Of the experiment il it
should be tried. As matter of
curiosity, it might be we'll to have
the races sailed on those conditions,
but, of course, they could not be
sailed for the cup. Yesterdays
event keeps the cup in the United
States for year longer at least.
Possibly Sir Thomas Upton may
also suppose that little Of the ad-
vantage which the Americans have
won in the races of 1903 ls due to
the superiority in the management
of the Reliance, but he attributes a
large part of it to the skill Of the
boat builder. This Re said two or
three days ago. Nobody On the
other side Of the water, according to
this expert, can approach the builder
of the Reliance in the art of making
boat which will be swift and sea
worthy in all sorts of weather. AS
this is the third time that he has par
t:cipated in those series Of cup races,
he may be assumed to talk with con-
siderable knowledge on this sub
ject.
Great changes in boat construo-
ton have been made in the half
century which has passed since the
American beat the British yachts in
British waters and brought the cup
to the United States, where it has
remained ever since. The yachts on
both sides which have been contest
ing for the cup in recent years differ
widely from thos 9 which took part in
the earlier races, but the superiority
of the American boats seems to be
almost as great in 1903 as it was in
1851, when the first one was sailed,
and it is fully as great as it was in
any of the races of the past thirty
years. The uniform success of the
Americans in the struggles OF these
five decades and the courage Of the
British in continuing the contest
make remarkable chapter in the
history of sportsmanship.-Ex.

An uuprecedsn.ed Track Test.

The weight of the train and en-

Colorado First In ,rrIeap,e Lands.

The first annual report Of Prof.
w. H. Newell, chief of the reclama
tion service of the geological survey,
devotes much space to the problem
of reclaiming arid lands in Colorado
under government auspices. Fol
lowing are some extracts:
Colorado, though not the largest
in size, leads in the area os land ir
rigable. Through the necessities of
the case, reclamation has been carri
ed on more widely than in Californ
ia.
"The state Of Colorado, as whole
may be considered as consisting of
two parts, one draining toward tbe
east into the Atlantic ocean or Gulf
of Mexico, the other toward the ives
in the Gulf of Californsa and Pacific
ocean. On the eastern side, sloping
toward the plains, the reclamation of
arid lands has progressed to such a
degree that all of the ordinary flow
of the streams is now utilized, and
even the flood discharges are to a
large extent controlled by reservoirs
built by private or corporate capital,
Further reclamation depends upon
the more complete construction OF
similar or larger works and the dis
tribution of the stored waters among
the present owners of the reservoirs
and the users of the natural flow OF
streams. The problems are thus ex
ceedinglv complicated and for sue
cessful solution necessitate long con
tioued measurements and careful
study of the existing situation.
"On the Western slope the condi
tioDs are almost reversed. There
the water supply has not been used
to its full extent and there is rela'
tiyely a small amount of land to Re
irrigated The rivers are large and
have cut their way deep into the val
leys, having only narrow and not
continuous flood or valley lands,
these being usually first on one side
and then on the other side OF the
river. An exaggerated idea OF the
size of these streams ls preVaien.'
due to the facts that they are large
for the arid region and that the use
of them has been small. They are
nv no means unlimited in capacity,

dropping at the rate Of four feet to
every hundred feet for four miles,
and continued for three miles more,
dropping at the rate Of two feet to
the hundred.
Gaining additional momentum
with every turn Of the wheels, this
tremendous force soon accumulated
velocity that is almost inconceiv
able, and no sight could possibly be
more thrilling than view Of its wild
plunge down the mountain. 1t pass
ed over innumersble sharp curves,
varying from six to sixteen degrees,
some OF them on high trestles, and
many of them reverse curves, where
the locomotive and 3ars had but a
fraction Of second to straighten up
and prepare for the opposite turn.
1t also passed over number Of frogs
and switches, and yet it kept to the
rails, aud was only stopped by collid
ing with an engine.
No mountain railway track ever
received more severe test than this.
Every spike, every bolt, and every
rail and part Of switch did its work
perfectly. Under this tremendous
strain the slightest defect in the
track would have derailed the train
and thrown it down the mountain
side, and this is the feature that will
attract the most attention among the
scientific men Of the railway world.
1t is not only splendid testimonial
to the men who are responsible for
the condition of the track, but it re
fleets credit upon American railway
engineering and management in gen
eral, and that of Colorado in partic
ular.

cedented test weighed 80 pounds to
