Cotton Acreage Doubled.

According to reports being received
by the bureau of agriculture more
land will be planted in cotton in
Tennessee this year than ever before
In fact, the reports received indi'
cate that the acreage will be doub-
led. This character Of reports come
from points along the Alabama lire
contiguous to the Tennessee river.
Many farmers who have for years de-
voted their lands to wheat, corn, oats
and the pasturage of stock have been
encouraged by the high price of cotton
to return to the production OF the
staple.

SIDE LIGHTS ON THE WAR.
Private Letter Brings Reliable
News from the Far East.

A private letter received by a gen.
sleman in Mount Joy, Pa, from his
brother at New Chwang, China, throws
some interesting .side-lights on the
war in the Far East. The writer OF the
letter was at Port Arthur in the en-
ploy of q steamship company when
that port was first bombarded by the
Japanese. He says that at that time,
and later up to the time his letter was
written, there we're no was correspond
ents at the front, but all OF the news
gathered about the conflict had to be
taken from all sorts of sources at sec
ond hand. However, the correspondents
that were "bottled up" in Japan have
now been permitted to start for the
front, so an improvement in the news
service may be expected. All OF the
Englishmen aud Americans in the dis
turbed territory, according to the
writer of the letter, are in sympathy
with the Russians. The Japs are
oninionated and are suffering from
swelled head. "The average Japs
head, " says the writer, sis just on the
point of cracking with concelt; but
their education is hardly deep'seated'
In business transaetions the Japanese
have also proven themselves so IN
trustworthy that the commercial in;
terests' over here can hardly be said
to love the Japs." Doubtless they ap.
pear to better advantage thousands OF
miles away than to those who come IN
close contact with them.

BONDS CAUSE TROUBLE.
NEW YORKER WANTS PAY FOR THOSE
REPUDIATED BY GEORGIA.
Feared by Officials That the State will
Have to Stand a Suit. Attorney.Gen-
eraI Receives a Letter.

The bonds which were repudiated
by the state OF Georgia in 1872 as being
fraudulent may yet cause suits for
recovery against the state. Since the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the North Carolina case,
where it was held that the state of
South Dakota could recover from
North Carolina for bonds repudiated
by the latter state, there has been a
fear on the part of some that efforts
would be made to collect the bonds re-
pudiated in Georgia by similar suits.
Acknowledgement Hart has received
letter from a banker in New York
stating that he had in his possession
$50, 900 worth of bonds which had been
left with him by an heir to a certain
estate, that several other brokers in
New York had more of the bonds, and
that they preferred to deal direct with
the state. Attorney General Hart
was asked if he would recommend the
payment of the bonds.
III ICplJluR W Uu6 I6UJGE u6 HGdtGu
that the. state had repudiated the
bonds, ana they could under no cir
cumstances be paid.
1t is believed by the state house Of
iclals that the letter from the broker
was sent out as feeler in order to see
what opinion would be expressed in
Georgia. 1t is safe to state, however,
that it will be necessary for the hold
ers of the bonds to donate them to
some state in the union before any
suit can be brought, as no indiYidu4l
can sue a state.
The only way in which the money
could be collected even If the United
States supreme court should decide
against Georgia would be. through
taxation by the legislature, for the
state owns no personal property, and
it is not at all likely that Georgians
in the legislature are going to tax the
peopel to pay something that was
thrown out as fraudulent by previous
legislature.

imagine, that the government, on
the completion of its lower
Truckee River project, will under
take this work. This will mean
1900 more farm families and make
Reno the center of a magnificent
farming country, build up your
city and make this one of the
most productive districts of the
West.
I believe in small farms and
intense cultivation; that such a
condition is better for the farmer
and for the community in which
he lives is assured. | think that
the farms of the Truckee mead
ows in the majority of cases
could be subdivided into smaller
tracts and with great benefit both
to the farmer and to your city.

who want to come West and grow
up with a new country. They
have. passed you by hitherto be-
cause you had no available water
to irrigate new land without the
building of an expensive irriga-
ton system. The government is
now bringing the two together
and the result will be the con-
quering of the desert.
We can send you colonists
whenever you can take care of
them, and l feel certain that that
time is the near future.

Greatest Dam In the World.

When the government deter
mined to expend $3,ooo,ooo in the
construction of the Salt river dam,
sixty miles northeast of Phoenix,
Arizona, it took the first step in
the creation of the greatest arti
fetal lake on earth. The Salt
river dam will be 27o feet high,
attaining the greatest height of
any reservoir dam in the world,
and it will store I,478,ooo acre
feet of water, backing it into the
mountain canyons for miles. 1t is
to be the greatest irrigation pro-
ject ever developed in this country.
1t means an abundant water
supply for an immense district
which has been in process of re-
progression through thirst. 1t
means the addition of millions
upon millions to the wealth of the
territory, and probably means
the solution of the problem of
irrigation in the West, for it is
generally agreed that upon the
success of this measure will de-
pend the building of many other
great irrigation works west of the
Rockies.-J. o. Dunbar in Sunset
Magazine for August.

this, but it will supply opportun-
ity for the working of the thors-
ands of ranges of barren noun
tains in that vast region for their
stupendous stores of precious
metals and useful minerals that
have merely been guessed at as
yet.
The throbbing East, with its
manufactures of necessities of all
kinds, would profit no less than
the West by the opening up of
these lands. And all of them, ex-
perience shows indubitably, are
so rich, when cultivated intelli
gently with adequate water sup
plies, that their settlers would be
able to pay the entire cost of the
most extensive irrigation systems
in a very few years and never be
distressed in consequence.
1t was a fortunate day for the
nation when the late Major w.
Powell, recognizing the vast
water, land and mineral resources
of the Rocky Mountain region,
insisted upon adequate govern
ment appropriations for irrigation

ment of the national irrigation

terested in the undertaking of
such work, which would probably
end the floods that cause such loss
of life and property. The water
which now swells the Missouri,
its tributaries and at times the
Mississippi, to undue proportions,
would be diverted for use in trans
forming deserts into gardens. At
the same time the government
could depend on making the work
pay itself.
THE DOOM OF THE DESERT.
Fifteen years of work of ex-
ploration, survey and investiga-
ton by the engineers of the gov

million and a half dollars show
that the Great American Desert
can largely be brought under
cultivation by irrigation systems
and made to support population
probably as great as that of the

There is no reason why Ne

Colonizing Agent of the Union
Pacific railroad, to a Reno Ga
zette representative few days
ago.
Your State is beginning to at
tract the attention of homeseekers.
Nevada is the only remaining
part of the Union that possesses
vast tracts of untenanted land.
Until recently it was the prevail
ing belief that you could raise
nothing here but the scanty sub
sistence for jack rabbits and
horned toads. People are be-
ginning to learn differently.
That you have in Nevada the
potentialities for a great agricul-
tural State l believe, for you have
the land. That proved to be ex-
tremely fertile, and you have the
water to irrigate immense tracts
of it, enough, in fact, to support
a population an hundred times as
many as you have now, when the
highest possibilities of the State
are developed.
The work of the government,
if successful in the great Truckee
River project, now more than
half completed, fifty miles east of
you, will bring under cultivation
10000 acres of land. This is
more than enough to support
1000 farm families.
Moreover, the crops produced,
the varied industries which it will
invite and afford the basis for will
at the scene of that one project
in a comparatively few years
double the population of Nevada.
l am told that you have other
vallies north of here in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Reno which
contain nearly 100000 acres OF
land and whose average fertility
is, perhaps, higher than that of
the land in Churchill county. 1t
is more than probable, l should

The occasional great floods of
the waters of the Missouri and
the Mississippi valleys always
direct attention to the possibility
of their prevention by the con-
struction of irrigation reservoirs.
All the West, in fact, the whole
nation, is interested in the plan
to have the government build a
system of storage reservoirs near
the headwaters of streams to
mitigate floods and likewise to re-
claim desert land. AS the govern
ment controls rivers it could ap-
propriately undertake the diver
sion of superfluous water into
reservoirs, where it could be later
used for irrigation. Moreover,
the great area of irrigated desert
would act as a secondary reser-
voir. Fancy single irrigation or
application of water to ten or
twenty million acres along the
watershed of the Missouri and its
tributaries. This single operation
