NEW HOMES UNDER IRRIGATION.

p. ,
Effect Of the Irrigation Movement on
Eastern Land and industrial lnstltu.
@ tions. s a AL
Some Of the sociological factors in
the national irrigation movement was
the theme of an address last week be-
fore the Philadelphia Congress Of the
American Association for the Advance
ment Of Science, by Guy e. Mitchell,
an extensive writer on irrigation and
public land subjects. - : .s~
No question before the public to.
day, Mr.. Mitchell declared, presents
more interesting sociological phases
than does the national irrigation ques-
ton in America. not only through the
great number of homes to be created
by artifcially watering desert wastes
but through the. far reaching effect
of the working out Of great govern.
ment irrigation policy AMI the general
education Of the American people on
the advantages of this practice both
west and east.
The social side of irrigation can be
described in the single clause e..
Irrigation subdivides and resubdiv-
ides land into small home tracts.
Irrigated communities average the
smallest farms in the world. The
west contains thousands of five and
ten acre farms from which men are
making comfortable livings. The so
cial conditions Of some of the most
intensely irrigated tracts are perhaps
the most nearly perfect Of those Of
any communities in the world.
Education to Eastern Farmers.
Now the effect Of the great govern
ment irrigation works, which are be-
Ing pushed rapidly forward, will be
to create western empire Of new
homes and at the same time to Incl.
dentally thoroughly educate the peo-
pie OF the entire country on the sub
ject Of irrigation. The consequence
will be that Irrigation practices will
finally enthrall the eastern farmer
The facts as they exist in European
countries show that irrigation can be
practiced with great profit on land
which has sufficient rainfall to grow
paying crops. Irrigation is a crop in
surer besides guaranteeing double
yields, and when it is applied to east
ern farm lands the result will be to
divide them into smaller and better
titled tracts.
A Nation Of Rural Homes. :
Along with the prosecution of the
government irrigation policy and its
great agricultural education will then
come the establishment of rural colo
MES throughout the entire country
and a vastly improved agricultural
and social condition.

MIGHTY GlvERs.

Of which exceeded $1,000 In amount,
the philanthropists Of the United
States distributed during the year 1904
to various charitable and public uses
the enormous aggregate OF SCI $50, 566,
very slight falling of from the great
showing made the preceding year.
This amount was distributed in the
country as follows: To educational
institutions, $1s, 1888; to galleries,
museums and historical societies, S.
100000; to churches and religious
work, $4.sO0.oo0; to hospitals, $685.
900; to libraries, $1,4ss,oOo; and to
miscellaneous charities, $16,O05, 900.
The balance is made up Of money con-
trtbuted to similar purposes in coun-
tries outside the United States, but
by American philanthropists.
AS naturally to be expected, in view
of his announced and oft repeated
purpose. to dispose of the bulk of his
wealth in this manner, Andrew Car
negfe leads the list of contributors
with donations of but slightly less
than $21,000,000. Miss 8. c. Tracy, of
New York, comes second with dona-
tons in excess of $5,0O0,000 to miscel-
laneous charities. James J. Hill, of
the Great Northern, is high up on the
American roll of honor, with donations
of $1,550,o00 to education and regli-
gion.
The most singular instance of mis-
placed charity in the whole list is the
case OF Col. Moses Wetmore, with a
gift OF $4,000 to the Democratic
party. This is the only gift Of the
kind recorded in the published lists,
though, If the truth were known, many
large donations of a similar character
were made, but by those who desired
no publicity to attach to their charit-
able actions and who thus escaped
having their names inscribed upon the
roll Of American philanthropists. j,
With the exception Of the latter
gifts, those recorded, which make up
the stupendous aggregate, were for
the purpose Of advancing the cause
of humanity and making the world a
better place In which to live. .l
It is an extraordinary record, and
one unparalleled, save in this coun-
try alone. and that only within the
year which just preceded this. It is
true that nowhere else in the world
have such gigantic fortunes been
made as in the United States; and no
where else in the world is wealth &C.
cumulating SO fast or more equitabIy
distributed as in this country. But the
lavish hand with which it is being
given away for most worthy purposes
shows that the holders Of the great
fortunes in this country have some
thing approaching an adequate con-
ception Of the debt which they owe to
humanity; and are willing to pay it in
part. G
Magnificent as is the total of the
publicly announced contributions to
charitable and benevolent purposes, It
probably falls far short of the aggre-
gate OF the amounts unostentatiousIy
bestowed by those whose names will
never he recorded on the roll of great
philanthropists, and who have con
tented themselves with relieving or
aileviating the distress which comes
under their personal observation.

Criminal Agreement
Between Railroads

New York. Jan. 20.-The American
prints what purports to be a copy Of
an actual pooling agreement made be-
tween the Southern Pacific Company
and the Sante Fe, providing for a
division of business and earnings.
This agreement was signed by J. c.
Stubs of the Southern Pacific and
Southern California Railroad Company

operating in California.
The agreement, in brief. shows that
California was divided in two by arbi-
trary lines and that there was between
the two railroads full arrangement
as to rates, commodities and points
shipped to and from. Each road was
to report to the other as to the business
done and the actual rates collected
The California shippers were absolute
ly at the mercy OF these two roads.
At the time the agreement was sign
ed, 1t was In violation Of two distinct
laws-the Sherman antitrust and thu
interstate commerce law. Both law
provided at that time for punishment
by a fine of $4,000 and Imprisonment II

Sherman antitrust law, Imprisonment
would have been for one year, and il
the case Of the interstate commerce
law, Imprisonment would have beef
for not more than two years. Lega

The first charge Is based principally
on the Upjohn letter and contains
nineteen counts, but more may be
added before the paper is finally sent
to Presiding Bishop Tuttle Of st. Louis.
The charges of violation of ordina-

Episcopal divorce canon, which was
recently enacted, into the contro-

ALL NIGHT BANK.

New YORK, Jan. l2.-Wlth the ac-
QUESTION OF a site at the southeast
corner Of Fifth avenue and Forty
fourth street, district Of fashionable
restaurants and hotels, the first night

All preliminaries we're settled to-day

In few months the new institution
will be established In a commodious
building to be devoted entirely to its
uses. In connection with the bank
there will operate night and day safe
deposit company. Its aim Is to pro-
vide means by which its depostors
may have the use OF their funds at any
hour out of the twenty-four. Those
who wish sums Of money In an emer-

useful for there will always be a
cashier at its window.
The idea was suggested by the ex-
periences Of several men who, al
though they had large sums OF money
In downtown banks, were unable to
get money for an emergency Here
tofore all night banking business has
been done by restaurants and hotels
and 1t was necessarily limited.

who attend the opera the safety deposit

may leave their jewels in the vaults o
the company before returning home
