ALONG BATTLE Line
BOTH JAPANESE and RUSSIANS
READY FOR ATTACK.
During the Long ouietness Both
Sides Have Been Heavily Rein

Since the Japanese reconnoitered
the Russian center about % or 80
miles, on August 10, which resulted in
retaliatory diminishing, as well as the
checkmating of a wide movement of
considerable bodies of troops through
out three days, little of importance
has occurred. During the long quiet
there have been achievements to
both sides, giving the theater of war
a much changed appearance. The
front has been greatly extended, made
possible by the use of the wireless
telegraph. The character of the third
stage of the war, whether it be active
hostilities or the garrisoning of con-
tested territory, will be complicated.

Irrigation In the East.

That irrigation may be employed MS
usefully IN the humid portion Of the
United States as In the arid section Is
announced by the Department of Agrl-
culture. A bulletin has been issued
showing the results Of many expert.
mnnts in this field in which n steady
water source was drawn on as an
auxiliary to an irregular rain supply.
Near Poughkeepsie, y. Y, where
rain is ordinarily bountiful for tho
crops, grower Of Strawberries mas
found that the addition Of plant for
irrigation enables him to insure a per.
feet stand and rapid growth Of new
plants. Spraying and irrigation be.
tween the rows, put in fine condition
for marketing crop OF berries which
for lack of rain at the critical moment
had colored and hardened without
sweetening.
Market gardeners in many other
parts OF the East are having similar
results The experts at Washington
believe that as the country becomes
more compactly settled and more In.
tense gardening is required 1t will
be found necessary to depend more
and more upon irrigation as an insur-
ance against drought and consequent
crop failure

Conquest q d. Great
American Desert


Has Nevada always been an arid and
desert region1 Its geological records,
as indelibly carved In sandstone and
granite, showing the shore lines OF
ancient lakes, proclaim that it has not
but that at one time a vast body OF
water, as great in area as Lake Erie,
covered a portion Of the State. To-
| day, however, the arldity of the coun-
try is unquestioned and the 100000
acres, to part OF which Uncle Sam is
to apply water, will practically double
Its we'll irrigated area and its agricul-
tural population.
! Nevada's ancient inland sea Is
known as Lake La Hontan: II was
/ one OF several great prehistoric lakes
distributed over the Great Basin Of
the arid region, among them Lake
| Bonneville, of which the Great Salt
Lake was the deepest portion. Its area
was nine times greater than the Great
Salt, or almost rs large as Lake Mich
igan, and much deeper.
The contracted remains of Lake La
Hontan In Nevada are found in Pyra-
mid Lake and number Of other small
enclosed lakes which were the deepest
portions Of the ancient lake. Since
these large prehistoric lakes were
land-locked and did not overflow. II
follows that the rainfall which fed
them was much heavier than 1t Is
| to-day.
Should conditions revert, many OF
the important points situated in the
Great Basin would be hopelessly
flooded, such, for instance, as the Nor
mon Temple, which would stand in fif-
ty feet of water. while 700 miles Of
railroad would be submerged
These prehistoric lakes are said to
be of very recent orlgin-that is, recent
by the biologists count-perhaps 30.
900 or 10000 years old. Fossils have
been found showing the presence OF
primitive man along their ancient
shores and entertainments, which In
many Instances are as perfect In con-
tour and as distinct as If the waters
had receded only n few years since
These lakes included such arid and
fear-insplring localities Of to-day as
the Black Rock Desert, Skull Valley,
Death Valley, and score OF other
places where the bleached bones of

When the State was admitted to
the Union, In place OF receiving the
usual donation of alternate school Sec

eminent of two million acres of public
land to be located wherever her law
makers saw fit The State Leglsla-
ture passed as much as desired of this
great and valuable resource into prl
vate ownership Of stockmen, at as low
a figure as 25 cents an acre These
lands have been located up and down
the sides Of every river and stream
and around every spring and water
hole In the State, so that while Nevada
has to-day some 6O,OOO,0OO acres Of
public land, there is not a quarter sec

The Matln Of Paris Suggests Gift Of
5000, 100000 to Russia.

Paris.--Owing to the reports from
Portsmouth indicating that the ques-
tion OF peace between Russia and ia
pan hinges solely on Russia paying
an indemnity to Japan, the Matin ca
bled a remarkable appeal to John ID.
Rockefeller at Cleveland. The appeal,
in part, follows:
The question of money threatens
to unloosen afresh and with redoubled
violence the scourge of war. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is making noble and
heroic efforts to end a struggle be-
tween two nations whose peoples
amount to one seventh of the popula-
ton of the globe. His initiative hon.
ors America in the opinion of the
civilized nations.
The question arises as to whether
another American would not share the
glory of Mr. Roosevelt and complete
his work by overcoming the sole OBJ
stacle now hindering peace. He
would thus demonstrate the might OF
money in powerful and generous
hands.
The Matin, constituting itself
spokesman for this sentiment, ad-
dresses the richest citizen in the
world"
The appeal concludes with lengthy
arguments showing the immense ben
efits such an act would confer upon
civilization.
Mr.. Rockefeller Is Silent.
Cleveland Ohio.-Mr. Rockefeller
declined to make any statement con-
corning the cablegram from the Paris
Matin, which was received early in
the evening at Forest Hill, his sum-
mer residence.
