The railroads claim that In 1880
when the rule was enacted that fire. ghr
cars were much smaller than they
now are and that charge Of ten cents
per ton would not be out Of proportion
10 the charges than when the capacity
Of the largest cars was twenty tons.
Cas- are now being built that have a
capacity Of forty or fifty tons and It
can readily be seen thar should the re-
quest Of the railroads be granted by
the commission that the switching
charges In many cases would be al
most double what they are now.

Mary Is self-supporting- as rather few institutions are, l believe and she. as perhaps not many of them has the welfare of the young girls in New York much at heart. But that is another story.
 Suffice it to say that Mary is the real old-fashioned kind of negress, who can neither read nor write, but is shrewder than if she could Judging from the sam ples I have had from "Vienna lnstitu- tute." She is capable and kindly, and a help in time of trouble. l went to her and told her I knew she would save my 1ife-and she did.

The tales she had to tell me spellbound-and cost us a good five dollars in the end, for during my absence Mary, wrought upon by the pleasure of artistic creation, became en- thusiastic. Enthusiasm is such a good thing in It's place. but it should be kept off walls The result of Marys rhap- sody in color were too far-reaching alto- gether-Mary had splattered!

The settlers are fully alive to the benefits whcih will accrue to them by the con- struction of this system, and are eager to cooperate with the government by pledg- ing their lands through the Water Users associations formed for the purpose in both Texas and New Mexico. to return the entire cost of the project to the gov ernment. It is estimated that the whole system will cost approximately $l200,0OO, and that $1s0.00o acres, 10000 of which lie in New Mexico, will be benefited thereby.
 But the operation of the reclamation act in New Mexico is not alone an affair of ditches and acres. Its possibilities are measured not by the extent of the agri- cultural industry, but by the development of other resources which 1t will make feasble-the best and greatest use of the grazing lands. the development of mines and etlarries, the maintenance of aril- roads and commerce, and best of all by the growth of a sturdy citizenship which nowhere attains more strength and inde- pendence tha namong dwellers of the desert.
 The passage of the reclamation act meant an enormous increase in the value of the taxable property of New Mexico; it meant the development of some of the richest mines in the world: it meant an increased Dopulation and added trans portation facilities: 1t meant, perhaps a new star on the flag.

Some in surmountabe difficulty either in the en- gineering work or financing the scheme was always encountered. And so the amount of water available became less and less, and the land enriched by ages of slt-laden floods became more and more desolate.
 The national irrigation act was the herald of New Mexico's redemption. It was the signal for those modern ma gicians, Uncle Sams engineers, to jug gle with the forces of nature Land and water! What potent words to conjure with! Already New Mexico is preparing to swing in line in the forward process sion of the age.

The Las Cruces system will be utilized for distribution purposes and the main canal extended along the valley on the east side of the river. Water may be taken across the river in pipes to irri- gate the west side; electric power gen. erated by drops in the canal may be used to run pumps for that purpose, or sep arate canal can head at the west end of the diversion dam. Other diversions will be made above this point as found neces- sary or practicable. Below The Pass or International dam site existing canals will be used to distribute water to tho lands in Texas and Mexico. The great da mwil make possible the development of power by which the underground wa ter may be pumped to the surface, and thus increase the irrigable acreage. l. will also prevent for all time the de- structive floods which annually visit the valley.

THEATRICAL ExTRAVAGANCE.
Enormous Sums of Money on Thii

 With confidence born of hope, theatrical managers prepared to invest some three millions of dollars, most of 1t real money. in about sixty new productions for the season that is now in full swing. One fla milar with playhouses learns to accept the advertised cost of the ventures with reservations for the use of stage money is not confined to the space between the footlights and the back wall However, the spending of money directly upon pro- ductons especially musical shows, has developed into an orgy of extravaganza. The custom of adorning fifteen-dollar-a- week persons with two-hundred-and-f fifty dollar gowns is characteristic of the musi- cal show. This seeking for speculator effect Is manifested also in the staging of plays, and for that we may be truly grateful.

 But at length the disreputable cot had been ripped up, cleaned and recovered with fresh ticking at very little expense. md a green denim cover with valance was neatly fitted over it-made at fits and starts by many different hands.
 Cushions were covered with different shades of green denim-with one of yell low to relieve the monotony. I thought this would look like a marigold amidst it's foliage. But my heart misgives me a little. The place is small and the cush- ion is very yellow. The resemblance to pumpkin in fernery has struck me, and I am glad to feel that if 1t grows any yellower we can spare a little green den- i'm still, in which to extinguish it's ray!
