Dine Million Acres of Arid Lands to Be
Reclaimed to Mans Use.
New plans for irrigating arid lands
In the West have been adopted by Sec
rotary Hitchcock OF the Interior De-
partment. Several plans involving
work which will require an outlay Of
$27, 100000 were submitted to him the
other day, and after devoting much
time to their consideration the Secre-
tary has approved them. The expendi-
ture contemplated by this work not
only exhausts the fund now on hand
for enterprises of this kind, but mort
cages for several years to come all re-
ceipts for irrigation purposes.
Fourteen projects have been adopt
ed by Secretary Hitchcock, scattered
through as many States and Terrific
ries. 1t Is estimated that something
like 100000 acres of land that is now
utterly worthless for grazing and agri-
cultural purposes will be converted

ner of Spokane, Washington, for Sec
ond place on the national democratic
ticket is considered cerain as the nomi-
nation of Judge Parker of New York
for president is conceded to be. OF
course, the nomination of Senator Tur-
ner hinges upon the nomination of
Judge Parker. If any combination
should be brought out that would pre-
vent the nomination of Judge Parker,
the Turner candidacy of itself would
be as strong as ever, but its subsequent
success would depend more or less upon
the favor of the presidential nominee,
whoever he might be. Such contin-
gency ISIS most remote, for there APP

New Conditions for Farmers.


One day. late in the autumn, hair
dozen farmers, coming fifteen miles
drove into a prairie village with heavy
loads of corn. They went to the prln-
cipal elevators and asked the price.
Thirty cents bushel to-day"
"We will go to the buyer at the 9TH
er end of the town. said the spokes-
man.
1T will do you no good" was the
reply, "as all the buyers pay the same
price here"
Every well; we will go home and
send our corn to market on foot"
They drove back fifteen miles and
unloaded the corn into their own gran
aries, to be shipped later In the form
of fat cattle.
Such an incident would have been
impossible ten years ago. when the av-
erage farmer was compelled to take
what was offered for his crop. But
two things have worked a transfer
nation in the graingrowing portion OF
the West; the farmers have become
tOHStTHhllNe Win ploSpSiityl hhu 'hS
railroads have widened the markets.
Five years of good crops In the West
have not only paid the debts, but have
also made the farmer capable Of en-
ploying business methods. A few
years ago settler visited town only
once a fortnight or once a month, He
took home with him the county papers,
the few magazines that he received
and a large bundle Of groceries and
dry goods With rural delivery and
rural telephone all that is passed.
Under these conditions the Western
farmer has developed an independence
in the movement of crops disconcert-
ing to the market manipulators.-C.

BIG HOTEL IN THE WOODS
Tavern Inside the Worlds Fair
Ground, Surrounded by a Forest,
Offers a Luxurious and
Restfu1 Retreat.

COMFORT AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
The comfort for the visitor to an
exposition was never the subject
for so much intelligent thought and
preparation as it has been at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
St. Louis.
One of the features that cannot
fail to appeal to the visitor is the
convenience and comfort afforded
by the Inside Inn, a structure of
2,257 rooms, covering an area of
400 by 800 feet, wholly within the
Worlds Fair grounds.
Probably no hotel ever built COM
mandS a view so diversified or
grand. From the wide verandas
that surround the mammoth struc-
ture wonderful panorama spreads
before one. Many of the state
buildings, with their giant and
magnificent structures, present their
most attractive facades. Some of
the foreign buildings may be seen,
and the forest of towers and turrets,
domes and minarets, rising above
the great exhibit palaces and seen
through the forests of real trees
that surround the hostelry, give
+o1xo., &c +Lo o+har or1or;oc +1o+ lie
beyond.
A liesurely walk of five minutes
will land the visitor on the main
terrace in front of Festival Hall, the
center Of the main picture" of the
Exposition, the grandest spectacle
ever produced by man. Another
five minutes walk and the visitor
may find himself on The Pike, a
street Of amusement, full mile
long, with the shows of all nations
in gay and enticing array.
In the ten-ninutes walk many of
the main exhibit palaces have been
passed. These comprise the 1arg-
est and grandest collection of archi
tectural triumphs ever assembled
in any one place. Notwithstanding
it's close proximity to these scenes
of gaiety and splendor, noise and
confusion, the Inside Inn offers a
delightful retreat. During the noon
hour the visitor may retire for a
brief rest and resume his delightful
task of sightseeing refreshed and
all the more able to appreciate and
enjoy the Worlds Fair wonders.
The rates at this hotel within the
grounds are no higher than those
charged elsewhere. A good room
may be had for $3.50 per day, in
Guiding admission to the grounds.
Other rooms may be had up to $500
per day, according to the luxuries
demanded. There is a restaurant
in the building with a seating capa-
city for $500 persons.
