The Doom Of the Desert.

Fifteen years of work of explora-
tion, survey and investigation by the
enginesf of the government at an
expenditure Of a million and a ha I
dollars show that the great American
desert can Largely be brought under
cultivation by irrigation systems AMI
made to support \ population probably
as great IS that of the whole coun
try today. Not only this, but 1t will
supply opportunity for the working OF
the thousands of ranges of barren
mountains 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 man
ufactories of necessities Of all kinds,
would profit no less than the west
by the opening UP of these lands. And
an OF them, experience shows In
dubitably. are so rich, when cult.
yafed intelligently with adequate
water supplies. that their settlers
would be able to pay the entire cost
Of the most extensive irrigation sys-
TENS in very few years and never be
distressed in consequence.
II so Il fortunate day for the ma.
lion when The late Major John W.
powell, recognizing the vast water,
land and mineral resources Of the
Rocky mountain region, insisted upon
adequate government appropriations
for irrigation surveys preliminary to
the enactment Of the national irriga-
ton law, which he foresaw certain
to come. The result Is that the geo.
logical survey is today a splendidly
equipped organization. carrying for
ward with rapidity the great con.
ducst Of the desert.

The "Breeches" Bible

Yesterdays Denver Republican de-
voets a column to a discussion Of a
~"breeches'' Bible, owned by J. C.
Shriever of Denver. II is a fact rs
the Republican says that Of this edi-
ton printed three hundred years
ago, there are very few copies in OK
~.istence. But one Of the few Ii owned
by Col. r. L. Twitchell of this city.
Col. Twitchell's Bible has added
value arising from the fact that It
has been in his family since 1t was
printed by the Kings Press In Lon.
don in 1908. The Bible was com.
piled in 1878. The book is written
in the old English script. 1t con.
tains the Calyinistic creed in full.
Col. Twitchell knew of only two 9th
ers In the United States. The one
owned by Mr.. schriver Of Denver
makes a third. Mr.. Schriyer obtain
ed it Of a second hand hood dealer
in New York thirty years ago.
The @~breeches" Bible Is famous. 1t
gets its name from the fact that II
changes the words Of the st. James
version where 1t states that Adam
and Eve sewed fig leaves together
and made themselves aprons. This
book stated that they sewed the
leaves together and made themselves
breaches. just why the book should
get its name thus is lot now known.
II may have been a printers error,
or II may have been an error In
transIating. At any rate the wording
lis as stated and from this the book
gets II lame.
The copy which Col Twitchell has
Il probably the best preserved Of al
the copies nov in existence. What Il
called the preface to Christians was
written IN 1857 BY Robert +. Henry
the compiler of the Bible, and as has
been stated Il was printed by tht
kings printer at London In 1908.
