Apropos of the formal approval by

tion law in California, Oregon and the

tive stage of reclamation work. The
projects in each state and territory are
now well outlined and provisions made
for all of the available funds.
During the two years which have
nearly elapsed since the passage Of the
reclamation law, efforts have been
concentrated on general examinations
and comparison Of the merits OF vari-
GUS projects; these have now been Sc
lected and approved, contingent upon
securing the water rights and lands at
reasonable cost. and peTfecting all de-
tails partly completed. The situation
in each state and territory is as fol-
lows:
"Arizona-Salt river project, under
about $3,O00,000

The Angora goat grows to the same

The Angora goat grows to the same
size as sheep. but it does not mature
so rapidly. A six months old lamb
will weigh more than kid of the
same age with equal care. Therefore
the goat is not so good to raise for
the early market. This. however. is
more than Offset by the fact that it car
ries its lamb or soft joint longer than
does a lamb, and its life is so much
longer than that of a sheep. According
10 the American Angora Goat and
Stockman a doe is a prolific breeder
and productive shearer until twelve
or fourteen years old The breed lives
and thrives in any climate or country
where sheep live and prosper no mat,

Panama Lotteries Stopped.

Among the many questions which
are settled in the Instructions issued
by the president Of the Panama CON-
mission Is that Of gambling. These
matters include control OF the lottery
and other gambling concessions ON
the isthmus.
Probably there is surprise, mixed
with dissatisfaction. in Panama ard
Colon over the Presidents tart instruc-
tion that the commission shall enact
laws annulling those previous con-
Germs.
The Panama lottery is one of the
firmly established institutions of the
isthmus. Nominally it is company.
but stock is held by lot OF indiv!du-
ais. The corporation owns fine
building in Panama, near the cathedral.
i 1t has agencies all over the isthmus
1 land the selling of lottey tickets is a
regular business. The venders peddle
them on the trains, and their COM
missions enable them to make good
living. The drawings, being under
tho state control. are honest In SO far
as q lottery can be honest.
The other gambling privilege is
purely an American concern. That is,
American citizens have the franchise,
or did have it. They paid Colombia
for the monopoly. just as the lottery
paid for it's privilege.
The chief asset of the gambling con-
cession was the roulette wheel. In
Colon the sailors were the chief pat
rons. In Panama the patronage came
more from the inhabitants and persons
connected with the canal work, as well
as from the travellers up and down the
Pacific coast

Are Having Their Field Day at st.
Petersburg.
ST. Petersburg, Sept. 13.-With thu
lull In military operations and an al
most entire suspension Of dispatches
from the front, st. Petersburg has
again fallen back upon the rumors.
Countless stories are afloat regarding
the Russian defeat at Lao Yang, some
of which are absolutely absurd while
others have apparently enough basis
in fact to give them a color of posi-
bility.
OF first Importance is the revival
of the rumor of Viceroy Alexieffs res
ignation, based probably upon differ
ences said to exist between him and
General Kuropatkin and others in au-
thority In the far East. OF next i'm
portance is the rumor that General
Kuropatkin is to be superseded, Lieut.
enant General Linevitch being named
as the most probable successor. This
is supposed to rest upon the emperor's
displeasure with Kuropatkin's general
ship at Lao Yang and general dissat-
isfaction with the course of events at
the front.
Neither Alexieff's nor Kuropatkin's
friends seem to attach great import
ance to the stories involving them.

The sanguinary side of the Russo

sion of news from the front the inter-
est for the time being centers In ru-

Lieutenant General Linevitch, now in

and other statements which cannot be
traced to authentic sources, but all
Of which, IL true, would have a most
important bearing on the situation.
One Russian correspondent points
out that when the Japanese withdraw
from the Russian front 1t is usually
the precursor of their appearance on
the tanks, and he thinks the indica-
lions point to q winter campaign. In.
terest again turns to Port Arthur and
to the effect which the Russian defeat
at Lao Yang Is likely to have on the
garrison there, and the feeling Is ex-
pressed that the siege will soon end
in disaster for Russian arms.
