THE seventeenth of June is Bunker
Hill day, a red letter day for New England.
1t also happens that it is the birthday OF
the National Irrigation Law and on that
date this year a gigantic irrigation project
will be put into operation in Nevada
ust across from the California line, the
first of the government irrigation works
to be completed The first part OF the
project includes $1,000 acres Of land and
these have already been taken up under
the homestead law and the settlers are
waiting the turning on of the irrigation
water through the great government
ditch. The final completion of this pro
iect will bring under irrigation $4,000
acres. While this land is subject to free
entry under the homestead act, the
settlers must agree to pay back to the
government the actual proportionate st
of building the irrigation works.

IT IS interesting as a matter OF national
history, entirely aside from any political
bearings the fact may possess to note
that sixty-six tin plate mills in operation
in the United States last year produced
about 700. 900 tons of tin plate and that
only 90, 900 tons of tin were bought by
Americans from other countries. Fifteen
years ago we were making no tin plate
in this country and were paying s54S
box for IoS pounds OF British plates
Now as good an article OF tin plate a.
was ever made in Great Britain Is made III
American mills and sold for $3.50. And
yet one of the great political parties OF
this country staked its very existence on
the declaration that tin plate could not
be male in America as satisfactory and
as cheap as we could buy it OF England.
Quite an interesting historical remln's-

THE resolution Of the Board OF Super

Commissioner published in last weeks
RECORD, are somewhat significant. II
lived up to the resolutions will tend to
very materially decrease the amount OF
drain work done, if not the expense Of
the same. The effect on the Office OF Drain
Commissioner is also likely TO be quite
marked For some years past there las
been pronounced sentiment that the work
of draining the county was being pushed
too rapidly and was very burdensome TO
tax payers. While this may be true to
AN extent. it is also true that the one
thing needed in Gratiot county was
drainage and too great decrease in the
