At what depth can a diver carry out
mis- functions? One wellknown firm
Of submarine engineers limits the
depth of descent to rs fathoms, or. say,
15o feet. But operations have been
carried out at greater depths than
this. and perhaps the greatest dis.
lance below the surface at which q
diver has succeeded in working is 81
fathoms. or 204 feet. This was az
complished by James Hooper, who de-
seconded to the ship Cape Horn, sunk
off pichidanque, South America, and
sustained a pressure Of SSH pounds on
every square inch of his body.

The superiority or American-made
goods is recognized almost universally
by the people of the Latin-American
countries. In fact, in a large number
of instances they are too good to COM
plete with articles of the same class
made in other countries. Consul-Gen-
eral Seeger, in a communication to the
state department, submits two letters
from Brazilian firms which indicate
strongly the fact that our goods are
wanted in some cases, even if they do
cost more.

Statistics show that out of the H.
900 boys who have been in the Ohio
reform school since it was started be-
tween 65 and 20 per cent. have made
useful, honorable men out of them
selves. How many of them would
have done so anyhow it is impossible
to tell, but the chances are that they
would all have gone irrevocably to the
bad, else they wouldn't have been COM
united. They aren't sent to Lancaster
for making faces at the teacher. Of
these 1000 or so rescued boys some
have done extremely well. One man

The baron said:
"In leaving this country for home I
feel it my duty to express to the people
of the United States, through the press,
an assurance of my sincere and genuine
appreciation of the respect, courtesy
and friendliness shown me during my
stay in this country.
Il am especially grateful for the
many attentions and inquiries received
from all quarters during my recent ill
ness, and l go home with a most vivid
recollection Of the good will and friend
illness Of the American people for ia
pan, which has, / am convinced, grown
immensely, both numerically and in I'M
tensity.
Tribute to President Roosevelt.
Awaiting myself of this occasion, l
deem 1t fit that I should express my
highest appreciation Of the disinterest-
ed, energetic and unremitting efforts Of
the president in the successful initia-
ton and consummation of peace, and to
him humanity owes a debt of deep graf
itude.
"As the result of the war, Japan will
undoubtedly ecure a well recognized
position in the far east. / have, how
ever, no hesitation in affirming that
there will be no break in the continuity
of Japan's foreign policy. Steadily and
firmly adhering to the policy of peace,
full expansion in commerce and indus
try, Japan will devote all her energies
with renewed vigor to the development
of her natural
Jepan's Course Outlined.
"She will continue, as In the past, to
scrupulously respect the acquired rights
and legitimate interests of the powers in
the far east; nor will she attempt to in
terfere in the least with the logical and
legitimate development of those inter-
ests. In her pursuit Of commercial and
Industrial expansion, Japan will count
upon the cooperation Of the United
States, whose interests in the far east
are completely identical with her own,
and whose traditional friendship for
Japan has found fresh confirmation in
the appreciation and sympathetic at
titude maintained by the American peo-
pie throughout the tremendous struggle
in which Japan has been engaged.
Hopes For the Future.
ut is my sincere hope and earnest
belief that the relations between the
great republic and the empire Of the
east, which are based on mutual SYM
pathy and identical interests, will con-
tinue to grow in strength and solidity."

The work of extending the Oters
ditch east to the county line is nov
under way. and will probably be
completed before the summer Is
ended. II is estimated that the ex-
tension will cost not much less than
&25. 900. The sum Of 80. 900 has
been expended since the first of the
year in widening and cleaning out
the ditch. and at the present time
the Otero canal is in better physical
condition than at any previous time
in its history. Bids for the con-
struction Of dam on the reservoir
site in Chaifee county are now being
advertised for. and this improve
ment will involve an expenditure OF
between $40. 900 and $50. 600. Only
80. 900 Of the $500. 900 bond issue
remains unsOld. and the unsOld pOr-
ton has been contracted for.
The outlook for the Otero is very
promising. Land under the ditch is
steadily increasing in value. Land
that was bought two years ago for
SO an acre is now being held by the
owner at $50 an acre. and one tract
of 100 acres that was bought about a
year ago for so per acre was sold
last month for $40 per acre.
The La Junta Investment Com
pany. which WAS recently incOrpor-
ated under the laws of Wyoming,
owns about 5 900 acres Of land east
Of La Junta. under the proposed ex-
tension. Ross Lewyn and H. A.
Mcintyre. of Denver. are the pro
moters Of this company. and propose
to colonize the thousands of acres of
land east of La Junta early in the
year 1906. They are greatly inter
ested in the successful operation OF
the OterO canal. and as they are men
who command unlimited capital the
ditch will not suffer through lack Of
financial backing. With the cOlOni'
xation Of the thousands of acres Of
land under the Otero the future Of
this community as great CONNER
cial center is doubly assured and has
. very roseate hue.

investigate and see what could be
done.
