OF the hundreds Of thousands of
people who have viewed with amaze
ment the magnificent fruits and grains
from the western states, exhibited at
the Saint Louis Fair-far more notable
in size, appearance and yield than any
thing they ever saw in the east-how
many of them have realized the cause
of this effect? How many of them
have thought out the wonderful fact
that these products were borne upon
land which a few years ago were use
less deserts, but now made fertile by
the art Of irrigation?
No irrigation exhibits" of promin-
ence were in evidence at this Worlds
Fair, as such, yet in everything agri-
cultural they formed a leading part
and their withdrawal would have left
huge gaps and have taken away the
best. Had the products of the dam
and the ditch all been labeled
."Grown by Irrigation"
The irrigation exhibit would have
been very big one. And it seems to
me that this would have been a good
thing. The west is proud of it's irri
cation; why not thus call attention to
its superiority of production?
Fabulous Grain Growths.
In grains and grasses COlOradO's ex
hibit led easily, though splendid show
ings were made by other arid states

showed 100 different kinds of grasse!
and 100 varieties of grain. 1t had oat!
8 feet tall and timothy heads niche:

medals. And it's separate fruit exhibit
included almost all the products o
American except the truly tropical.
Oregon had mortgage litter wheat
7 feet tall. Think of a wheat field il
which an army of six foot men would
stand concealed. And snow-whit'
onions inches across. And Idaho
and Utah and New Mexico, and al
the west set forth a dazzling display
of irrigated apples and plums, peache!
and grapes of color, size and beaut.

West Through Irrigation.

product of a single vine. .3&
Government Irrigation Dam.
Practical methods of irrigation were
demonstrated at the government build
ing by model of the Salt River vel
ley in Arizona, showing the great gov
eminent dam now under construction
in the mountains and the system of
bitches and laterals by which the
water is distributed on to the farms
and orchards below. Real water was
running through these bitches. This
, great work of Uncle Sans in Arizona
is progressing rapidly, I was told by
Engineer Savage whom recently met
| in Montana. A cement mill, to make
the 100000 barrels of cement needed
in the masonry, is completed, $780,
! 600 mountain road to convey the dam
material from Phoenix is finished and
most remarkable, the river itself has
been carried through tunnels around
the dam site, and is furnishing some
1, 900 electric horse power with which
to build the dam. This is to be used
to construct the giant works and thus
the river will build it's own dam and
from reservoir the greatest in the
United States.
Giant Pumping Machinery.
Of all sizes and classes were the
irrigation pumps exhibited in the farm
implement department of the Saint
Louis Fair; but more striking than
these were the windmills These busy
machines rearing their tall heads
above the surrounding buildings and
whirring gaily in the breeze formed a
striking example of mans ingenuity
in Harvesting the elements. The high
est of these, built by one of the largest
windmills manufacturers, spread it's
galvanized steel wings 120 feet in air
and with moderate wind pumps

lrrigation's Future.
What will be the next irrigation ex.
hibit at a Worlds Fair? Some say
that for many years to come, this is
the last Of the big international exposi-
tons. If this be so, and it should be
Is or 20 years before another great
fair, when one does come, it's irriga-
ton exhibit is likely to overshadow
everything else in agriculture The
west is at the beginning of great
things. The government has under
taken the work of national reclamation
of the desert and is pushing the work
rapidly. Vast engineering works.
huge dams and canals are being con-
structed in the western states and
territories and as the work proceeds
the people will realize it's wisdom and
worth and it will be pushed forward
still faster. AS Engineer Savage re-
marked ut is an enhancing work, is
it not; this creating of homes for men
out of desert waste?
. And SO twenty years from now. if
the course of wisdom is pursued and
the government irrigation work con-
tinues along right lines and is kept
} pure Of politics and of graft, we may
see west with nearly double it's pres
) ent population and the splendid prod
; ucts Of American irrigation reaching
to every nook and corner of the
world.

IN WINTER QUARTERS.

Sailors at Morgan Club House are Busy
Putting Up Yachts for the Season.
The Morgan Yacht club house on the
north side has in the past week taken
on busy air, and yachts from all
ports on lake Michigan are coming
into this harbor to put up for the win
ter. In all there will be fourteen
yachts in winter quarters on the Nor
gan property this year. Capt Barber
stated this morning that the past
season had been a most successful
one from the sailors point of view,
and the prospects for a large fleet
next year were most rosy.
This past week three more yachts
came into this port for the winter
season and are now high and dry on
land. They are the Columbia, of Chi
cago, belonging to Capt. Adams, the
Rosarnond, of Milwaukee, belonging
to W. ]. Starr, and the Kitty Wake, of
Chicago, belonging to Capt. Rounds.
Two more of the fleet are expected
next Sunday when they will make
their final run Of the season from Chi
cago. Navigation for the Yacht
clubs closes officially for the season
on November 1, but as a matter of fact
all of the boats will have sought their
winter homes before this time. Uni
ted States official navigation closes
on December /.

Change in law Adds Enormously
to the Work of Making Reg
istration of Voters.
MUCH WORK FOR LITTLE PAY.
Law Requires Registration by Street
Numbers Instead of Alphabetically
as Heretofore.

The boards of registry, which are
made up of the inspectors of election
of the various wards, are having a
whole lot of trouble with the regis
tration lists this year, and the
chances are that the members will
have to do a whole lot of extra work
with very little chance Of getting
any extra pay for it. The trouble all
comes from the change in the law
which requires that the voters shall
be listed with reference to their
place of residence instead of alpha
betica11y, as they have always been
listed previous to this registration.
The first copies of the caucus, regis
try, and election laws sent to this
county by the secretary of state for
the guidance of those charged
specially with the conduct and super
vision OF elections failed to make
any mention of the change in the law
and the members of the registry
boards naturally thought that the
lists were to be made up Alphabetical
ly as usual. They found out their
mistake, however, when the registry
books were distributed and it was
found that the books were ruled and
made up for a geographical registra-
ton instead of an alphabetical one.
The members of the board kicked
hard and long, but the law is printed
plainly on the registers and full di-
rections given for the making up of the
registration under it, and there was
nothing for them to do but comply
with it. The new plan of making up
the lists means an immense amount
of work for the registry boards.
They are required to take each street
and, from east to west, or from north
to south, as the case may be, to list
the voters according to the numbers
of their places of residence. To do
this perfectly and to make sure that
all voters are on the list equires an
immense amount of checking and re-
checking and the members of the
boards will surely earn all they get
out of it this year. Unless the work
is done properly there will be~consid-
cradle confusion and some lively
kicking election day.

Night school at the College of Com
merce had it's first session last Mon
day night and now fifty-four pupils
are enrolled on the catalogue of the
College in this department.
The school meets three nights
week, Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day, and courses are offered lin hook
keeping, shorthand and English. In
this latter course the majority of the
pupils are foreigners who are anx-
ious to learn reading, writing and
spelling as well as arithmetic. The
tuition is small and the course pop
ular. The force of teachers numbers
about seven though this will be in
creased if necessary. The course
runs through term of six months,
though it is planned to have the
work SO divided that each month will
complete itself so that those having
only a short time to pursue their
studies may take advantage of the
facilities offered.
