TO YOUNG WRITERS.
BE Brief Till You Have Made a Rep.
utatiOn, Says the Literary
Agent.

"If you have a good incident about
which to group a story" said one of the
literary agents who undertake the Job
of selling the young writer's copy, ac-
cording to the New York Sun, that in
cident is worth a certain amount of
narrative. 1t may be equal to 1,500
words n it may be strong and intense

writer's over-elaborate. One came the
other day with a story more than 6,000
words long. | told the author that the
central idea was good and the story
readily marketable if he reduced it to
/ 800 words. Of course, he was furious
and will send around the story to the
magazines. After it has been refused
by all of them he will condense it to
800 words and bring it back to me.
And how he will criticise the tastes
of the magazine readers which compel
him to condense his story. He will say
that he is not allowed to put in charac-
ter, observation, wit or anything but
the skeleton of his plot.
"That is unfortunately true so far as
the beginner is concerned. In his case
the editors want a story quickly told.
After he has acquired a reputation it
may be possible for him to digress from
the facts of his plot. But he must stick
to business until he is well enough
known to make people read whatever be

wants a match with me within 4
weeks; no later, as I expect to go on
the road after that. If so, I will post
a forfeit of $50 as part of a side bet
for any amount up to 5000. I will
agree to a mixed style bout, 2 in 3

Hoping this will bring about an
arrangement satisfactory to both

Pascal is not an unknown in this

SMALL BLAZE LAST EVENING

RESIDENCE.

A small blaze was discovered about
s O'Clock last night in the servants
room in the rear of the residence Of
Mr.. II. E. Ham, on North Sixth be-
tween Madison ana Monroe, and when
the fire department responded TO an
alarm, damage TO the amount of about
$3.50 had been done.
The cook claims that when she dis
covered the blaze, she saw two men
running towards the back fence, and
some garments covered with OIL seem
to have been thrown on the floor just
inside the back door, and oil poured
on the floor ami sill. The odor Of coal
oil was very perceptible, but 1t is not
known whether those who attempted
to burn the house were tramps who
had been refused food or not.

NEW DEPARTMENT
The Bureau Of Commerce and Labor
an Important One.
Our Commercial Importance Has In
creased With Amazing
Rapidity.
Is OVER $40. 900, 10000 A YEAR

The new department of commerce
which affords Secretary George b. Cor
telyou cabinet position, will have
the UNIQUE distinction of dealing with
the largest commercial interests OF the
world. In domestic exports, in manu-
features, in transportation, and in in
ternal commerce the United states Is
at the head of the worlds list of great
nations. Some figures just compiled
by the treasury bureau of statistics
which by the new law becomes part
Of the department of commerce, esti'
mate the internal commerce of the
country at twenty billions Of dollars,
or equal to the entire international
commerce:of the world.
In arriving at this estimate OF $50
600, 900, 900 for the internal commerce
of the United States, the bureau OF
statistics includes only one transaction
IN each article produced, while, IN
fact, a very large number Of the arti-
Giles produced pass through the hands
Of several "middlemen" between those
OF the producer and those OF the con-
sumner. The estimate is based upon
the figures Of the census, which put
the total value Of manufactures in
1900 at siS. 900. 600, 900; those Of ag-
riculture at nearly $4,000, 900, 900, and
those OF minerals about $1,000, 900,
900. Adding to these the proouct of
the fisheries, the total value Of the pro-
ducts Of the great industries in 1900
would be eighteen billions Of dollars,
and the rapid growth in all lines of
industry since 1900. especially in man
ufacturing, seems to justify the con-
clusion that even a single transaction
in all the products Of the country
would produce an aggregate for 1909
of fully twenty billions of dollars.
Estimating the internal commerce
of the country at former census years
by the same method, the bureau Of sta
tissues finds that the total internal
commerce has grown from about two
billion collars in 1850 to three and .
half billions in 1860, six and fourth
billions in 1870. seven and bill
lions in 1880 and twelve billions in
1890. II will be seen from this that
the internal commerce seems TO have
increased 80 per cent in the decade
from 1890 to 1900. and is ten times
as large in 1902 as in the year 1850.

A GROWING BUSINESS
Illinois Central lnaugurates a New
Plan Of inspection.
Material for Repairs Ordered IN Ad-

INCREASE IN SHOP NECESSARY

Mr.. A. NJ. Dustin, foreman of the
|. q. boiler shops here, left at noon
for Princeton to inspect engines. Mr..
Dustin started this week to inspect
engines ON southern and eastern divis
ions of the road and will not stop until
he has inspected all engines. The l.
O. is insugursting a new feature OF
repair work in senting out an inspec'
tor. All engines will be inspected aud
what repairs needed will be noted and
. final report made out after the entire
inspection has been made. This is
banded in TO the master mechanic who
will figure out the amount OF material
that will be needed IN repairing these
engines and order il Immediately so
that nothing will delay the repair
work.
The business on the l. O. has in
creased so that many new engines will
be sent here within the next few years
and already the big 500 and 600 class
engines which have been running out
OF Psducah will have TO have new
fiues this season. The company has
been putting In on the average Of g..
900 fiues per month but expects to put
in about 5, 900 this year which means
big increase in the repair work.
The outlook is for an enormous amount
Of repairing and this is what prompt
ed the addition Of q 90 foot strip to
the main machine shop.

RECLAMATION POSSIBILITIES OF NEVADA
DESERTS.
The United States Geological Surver Is Col
Iectlng photographic Data Which May
Lead to Their Cultivation.


The irrigation possibilities of the
arid West. especially that part of
it included in the great interior
basin, once called the Great Amer
ican Desert, are daily becoming
more apparent Surveys for res
ervoir sites reveal the fact that
there are many locations where
water can be cheaply stored and
used for power and irrigation.
Other surveys show large tracts of
good farming land favorably To-
Gated for watering from these stor
age reservoirs.
A more detailed study is being
made of the amount of water each
watershed will furnish, especially
those on which there are good res
ervoir sites, and the losses of water
from each. Under the direction
of Mr.. L. H. Taylor, resident hy
drographer of the Geological Sur
vey at Reno, New, thirteen new
stream-gaging stations have been
established in Nevada and eastern
California. Three of these are on
Walker River and branches, one
on Carson River, six on Truckee
River and tributaries, and four on
the Humboldt and its tributaries.
The run-off data from these and
the other eight gaging stations on
these streams, when they cover a
period sufficiently long to include
the two extremes of run-off, will be
of great value in determining the
irrigation possibilities and design
ing the works on each. A dozen
rain cages are to be located at
characteristic places in this section.
These, with the eleven already in
use there, will, with the aid of the
run-off data, render ascertainable
the ratio of precipitation to run-off,
and thus enable engineers to COM
pute, from rainfall records, the
run-off from adjacent auxiliary
watersheds. Evaporation from the
surface and fluctuations of the sur
face level of some of the larger
lakes are being measured, and
losses incident to storage of large
bodies of water and losses from
small bodies of running water are
to be studied. During the last sea-
son Mr.. Taylor has been assisted
by Prof E. c. Murphy, of Cornell
University.
