Portsmouth, N H.. Aug. 19.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt has stepped into the
breach and is making an almost les
perate effort to save the peace con-
ference from shipwreck That. in a
sentence, is believed to be the situa-
tion this morning.
Just what the President is doing
has not transpired, but it is regard
ed as certain that he has appealed
both to Toxic and st. Petersburg to
induce the warning forces to show a
spirit of concession. Mr.. Griscom and
Mr.. Meyer have been instructed to
make direct appeals to the emperors
of the two countries.
II the cooperation of France and
England. the allies of the respective
belligerents, is secured. something
may be accomplished.
In the last resort the main obstacle
to the success of peace conditions is
certain to prove to be the question
of indemnity. Russian will not pay
one copeck of tribute" is the lang
uage of NJ Witte. That is believed to
be Russia's last word on that Iues-
tion. The cession of Sahkalin may
be arranged. but unless Japan relin-
quishes her claim for the cost of the
war all hope of peace is gone.
The first indication of intervention
by President Roosevelt came in the
departure today of Baron Rosen, the
Russian ambassador, for Oyster Bay.
He will dine with the President and
probably return either late tonight
or tomorrow. He went by invitation
of the President, communicated to
him by Assistant Secretary Pierce.
and so as to conceal his movements

that of the lightning-as the principle
of water.
The snake dance at Moqui is a rite
celebrated in honor of water-the snake
symbolizing the rain and the guajes, or
rattles the thunder which goes with
the lightning. There is something pitt
full in the constant iteration, on textiles
and pottery, of the old symbols for
cloud, rain, sun and the heart of the
sky, and, above ALL of the water snake,
of which the word of mouth legeni,
handed down by some unknown Pueblo
Homer, has said:
Fear not the serpent shafts of the
lightning as they rattle loudly, that
the earth be replenished with their
children, the serpents of water, the
rivers of life" Thus the ancient abor-
igine of the arid plateaus priced and
even worshiped as the most beneficent
factor in his scheme of existence that
chrism of water which we contempor-
ary western Americans are beginning
to value from afar.

woolly phase reported of him when he

| Considering irrigation from an eco
nomc standpoint, we must remember
that it largely increases the productive
capacity of each acre, so that twenty
acres of irrigated land harvest crops
equal to those raised on sixty or more
acres under rainfall. In the Sunny
San Luis in Colorado, we can point
| to farms which yield sixty bushels of
wheat to the acre, which commands a
premium in Liverpool or Paris.
BY the timed, measured application
of water to the planted soil the Colo
rado farmer more nearly renders ag-
| riculture an exact science and largely
| determines the amount of fats in his
oats, of starch in his Greeley potatoes
and of sugar in his Fort Collins beets
Benefits of Irrigation
AS the mountain SHOWS and ice melt
with approaching summer, the farmers
guide the streams into canals bitches
and burrows, to grow on desert sands
wonderful, golden harvests.
The irriga tion planter is immune
from toilsone systems of farming, dis
sstrous droughts and uncertainties of
crops known in the region dependent
upon rain, from the clearance of for
ests and powders; from too much rain,
from cyclones and from tickle and
treacherous atmosphere.
The irrigation water carries down
with it from the mountains, in the silt
requisite salts sufficiently and satisfac-
torily to fertilize the soil and secure
unheard of harvests.
The annual cost of putting water on
the land is from two to two and a
half dollars per acre, and the Colorado
farmer under irrigation practically has
entire control of his crops after fertil-
ization.
Grains, fruits, edible roots, tubers and
grasses are superior in yield and quail
ity because they receive neither too
little nor too much moisture in Colo

seven years the state has built ten beet
sugar factories within her borders, at

Some Striking Examples
From twenty to thirty tons of sugar

and the farmers receive So per ton for
their beets, which average Is per cent

Today the gold of Old SoPs sunshine,
smiling ardently upon irrigated fields,
presents stronger attractions for set
tiers in the Centennial state than did
the Donanzas of earlier days While it
is generally thought that Colorado,
famed for scenery and sunshine, is pre-
eminently mining state, 1t is fact
that her fields and farms under irri-
cation during the last year yielded
more than $7O,OOO,0OO, as against $780,
100000 during the same year from her
mines. And the writer prophesies that
in a decade Colorados fruits will an
nualy bring more wealth to the com
