 Bids were opened on June 15 for the controlling works at the outlet of Lake Tahoe, at the head of Truckee river.
 New Mexico-The Hondo dam and canals have been nearly completed under rcontractsaward ed to the Slikard Construction Co. of Roswell, \. M, and the Taylor Moore Construction Co. of Hillsboro, Texas.
 North Dakota-The Fort Bu- ford canal contract was awarded from bids opened June ,, 1905.
 South Dakota-Belle Fourche canal is being built under con- tracts let in May, 1905, to $. R. H. Robinson, St. Louis, Mo, and the Widell Finley Go. of Manka- to, Minn.
 Wyoming-Bids will be adver- tised at an early date for work in connection with the storage works and canal on the Shosh- one river.
 In the states not mentioned above active operations have been carried on and every effort is being made toward early con- Struction.
 The undertakings already out lined, while not as expensive as the Panama canal, involve as great if not greater questions of engineering and business judg- ment. The law requires not merely that irrigation works shall be built, but more than this, the country reclaimed must be settled in small tracts and the cost of the work ultimately re- turned in ten annual installments. There is probably no other un- dertaking in the United States upon which the future of the nation so depends. The success- ful execution of the reclamation act means not merely creating thousands of homes, but more than this, it results in upbuild- ing great home markets for man. ufactured products and vastly | increases the value of aM the transportation and other indus tries of the entire country.
 The exhibit arranged at Port land is intended to bring out some of the great features, and at the same time show in detail how the works are planned and executed. One of the most able of the reclamation service, MT. Edmund T.Perkins, has been selected to superviseJ the exhibit. At the time of the holding of the'Trans- Mississippi Commercial Congress and the National Irrigation Congress in Portland he will, with various assistants, give personal atten- ton to explaining to the dele gates the exhibit and will be pre- pared to furnish additional facts IS to the reclamation service and ts plans.
 Very truly yours,

devolyes on the three men who now
hold this exalted position is too great
for them to give it the proper atten-
ton, and the mental strain upon
them is so trying that it Injuries
their health. And besides this, it
requires such a long time for the
large number Of cases that come be-
fore them to be considered and de-
cisious handed down. Most anyone
who has a case before this tribunal
would like to have the merits Of it
fully investigated and would like to
get a hearing as soon as possible,
but not looking at the matter from
a selfish standpoint, the people
should be interested in seeing that
the Judges are not oyerworked and
that a sufficient number are on the
bench. OF course there are many
who will argue that these Judges
are not yer-burdened with their
duties, and if they are, they can re-
sign and let others, who are willing
to take the job, assume the trying
ordeal. They will also argue that
the State cannot afford it. In the
first place men who have the ability
TO fill the office of supreme judge
with credit do not need the position,
for their practice as lawyers would
amount to more than the salary at
tached, and in the second place,
Mississippi can we'll afford to en-
ploy two more associates. Three
judges did the work for the State
when the population was just half
50 large as it is now, and the increas-
ed valuation in property makes it
easier for the State to pay five
judges now than three in former
days, The people Of Mississippi do
not realize what an advance there
has been in this State in all lines in
the past decade. -Newton Record,

lrALIAN IARoR FILLS TILE mn.

Our local report regarding the
work Of the Italian colony on Dun
barton plantation in Concordia Par
ish, La, tells the story Of the sue
cess attained by the Italians in the
cotton field. That the Italian will
be a success in the cotton field
seems to be pretty well assured,
though it is not likely at all that he
will drive the negro from the plan
tations The introduction of this
foreign labor has been an absolute
necessity Year after year the labor
supply on the field has been grow
ing worse instead of showing any
sign Of improvement The intro
duCuon Of MeXlcans proved a failure
and made the negroes feel more in
dependent than ever before. They
thought this would leave the field
entirely to themselves, but in this
they are beginning TO realize that
they have been nursing a false hope.
There is nothing TO fear from the
increase of Italian colonies in our
country districts. Their advent
will be instrumental in the opening
Of new lands and a Investigation
of crops. They will 50 in for fruit
culture and gardening as well as
raising cotton, This will improve
land values and with an abundance
of fruits and vegetables we will
have a better market for the table
and home prices instead of being
called upon 10 pay for the fruit and
the cost Of shipping it from other
points to Natche2,
But the most important question,
that of experimenting with Italian
labor in the cotton field has been
settled, and it is to the interest Of
the cotton growers that it be settled
in their favor, The Italian colony
at Dunbarton has settled this point
to the satisfaction Of the grower.

Hoch in Kansas.

Governor E. w. Hoch edits a weekly paper at Marion, a small county town in Kansas, and when he is not editing he is apt to be exhorting in Methodist meetings lie was born in Kentucky, and while ho was a boy the demo- cratic boys in his native Kentucky town endeavored to reform his politi- cal principlas by putting his head be- heath the spout of the village pump, but the water curo did not fit his case, and h. remained a republican to the last day of his residence in Ken lucky.
 When he went to Kansas he be- came a prohibitionist and a radical re- publican in politics and in his news paper. and a fighter everywhere. Whenever he was sent to the legisa- ture he was full of fight, and he was named for governor without any prev. ious seeking Of the place on his part.
 When he believes he is right no power on earth can change him particle All know he is honest and stubborn, and that he will sustain his convictions regardless of the strength of opposition.
 His very personal qualities make him an iGoal personal leader in the war Kansas has declared against the oil octopus. His plans for defeating the Rockefeller company may not be the wiest. but it is certain as any thing in this world can be that Ed Hech will not finch in the course of their execution. He will fight as long as an inch of fighting ground remains under his feet. He is homely, but what he lackJ in beauty is made good by his superb courage. He never does anything of a demagogic nature. He spurns demagogy in all it's forms. He is simply an earnest man who be- comes formidable when he thinks he is right, and he certainly considers the oil octopus altogether in the wrong.

rnmmodore Perry in Ianan.

The recent republication of Commo- dore Perry's official Narrative of m Expedition to the China Seas and Japan in the year5 1852, 1853 and 1854" recalls a remarkable effort in the worlds history In President Fillmores administration this country succeeded in negotiating a treaty with the hitherto inaccessible Emperor of Japan, the objects to be gained being the good treatment of shipwreeked marines, the obtaining of supplies for vessels, and the opening of commer- cial relations, Commodore Perry was entrusted with the mission, and he se- cured the signing of a treaty.
 But that treaty went in it's conse- quences far beyond all original inten- tions. It proved to be the chief glory of the Fillmore administration, for it brought Japan into the family of na- tiOnS. Up to Commodore Ferry YlSlt to Japan that country had been even more secluded than China was at any stage in her history. America ushered Japan into the national family, and she has been hummer in that family ever since, and she promises to be a still greater factor in the worlds progress hereafter. No event could well be more far-reaching or more po- tential. President Fillmore and Com modore Perry builded far better than they knew, and all they did is result ing in general good to the world and an Open Door in the Far East.

Notable Statesman.

Judge Reagan was the last of the notable men to die to whom Jefferson Davis looked to for advice and leaned upon for comfort. remarked Capt. J.. Lawler Darby
 Tt is doubtful if any head of gov ernment ever had assembled about him men more remarkable for cleanness of heart, learning, statesmanship and strik- ing personality, than MT. Davis had in Richmond. It is a blessing to the world to have such men born into it as Thomas II. Watts, Pope. Walker, Benjamin, Hunter, sedden, Cooper, Campbell, Breck- inridge. Toombs, Mason and the other great advisers
 .'I am glad to have had the honor of looking into the faces of such men. The question has been asked, who was really our greatest stateman just before and after the civil war? l answer, Alex H. Stephens. Liberty Hall sheltered a prophet, one that could look through the mists and see far beyond the shad- dows. Many times have thought, how could any humane man lock in prison such a wasted body in which was en- closed lovable heart-his pillow was the cross-he forgave them"

Vulcan In Mobile.

"One of the Mobile Mardi Gras' floats of most interest to Birminghamians last week was a feat entitled Alabama at the Worlds fair said Captain Romaine Boyd of Ensley. "A sign-board pointing to the bare word, Nix" represented the exhibit, while at the end of the float was a statue supposed to represent Vulcan, with the words underneath. Who saved Alabama at St. Louis Birmingham. bless her for it.
 ..The order of Myths and Infant Mysties h. d gorgeous parades and the balls were brilliant as usual, but probably the fea- ture of most local interest was the flower parade of about fifteen automobiles, each decorated to represented some flower and occupied by the famous beauties of Mo- plies. One car beautifully decorated with wistarias. was occupied by syndicate of four imperial princesses. with zone of influence equal to the steel trust.

Negro Dispersion Proposed.

Dr. Rabbit, rector of the Church of the Epiphany in 8roolllyn, presents a solution of the negro problem that is eminently sensible and practicable. He proposes that Italians, Austrians and other foreigners be induced to To- cate in the south with view to com polling a dispersion of the negroes over the northern and western states.
 Such spreading of the negroes over the country would take from the race problem all sectionalism. making it what it really is, national problem. About 12 per cent of the country con sists of negroes, and if this percent age were evenly spread over the country the race problem would soon cease to be troublesome.
 Dr. Babbitt is confident the negro would under such circumstances find better fields and larcer opportunities lie would pc more apt to secure polit- ical and industrial recognition. Color prejudice might continue to exist, but political prejudice would be far less than it now is in the congested south
 Dr. Rabbits plan deserves serious consideration. It is not one that can be suddenly carried into effect. All that would be done would be to start an inflow of whites which in turn would cause an outflow of blacks, leaving the grand result to time. Any material change in the race situa- and the Rabbit plan would prove no exception to the rule.

Geology In Our Schools.

Professor Gregory of Yale universi- ty calls the attention of Tennesseeans to the neglect in their schools of Ten nessee geology, and his remarks apply equally as well to Alabama. He shows that southern schools lean to litera- ture, history and the like, whereas in northern schools more attention is paid to geology, physical geography and geography in general. Browning outranks physical geography in south ern summer schools, for example.
 There is not a public school in this state. no matter how humble, in which the natural sciences should not be taught If no good text book relating to the geology of Alabama be at hand, it becomes the duty of the legislature to provide one. The natural resources of the state should be explained in every public school, and at the uni yersity. at Auburn and at all the other

This list elevates Hong Kong at the expense of London, which the latter may be said to have created. New York has to accept fourth place, which is | enough, especially when it has to admit it is outranked by Antwerp on a river.
 The list is full of surprises. Few indeed knew that Singapore had be- come one of the great ports of the world; that Rotterdam is a close rivel of Liverpool; that Liverpool, once so great, is outranked by Hamburg. London and New York are great out side of their shipping interests. Both are financial centerg. London may be the money center of the world, and if London ever loses that distinction New York will gain it. The other eight are maritime cities, and their rank is accurately determined by the official figures presented by the gov ernment.

THE TWO ARMIES.

By Henry Ilmrod. Two armies stand enrolled beneath The banner with the starry wreath; One, facing battle, blight and blast Through twice a hundred fields has
 passed.
 Its deeds against ruffian foe, Stream, valley. hill and mountain know, Till every wind that sweeps the land Goes, glory-laden, from the strand. The other with a narrower scope, Yet led by not less grand hope. Hath won, perhaps, as proud a place. And wears its fame with meeker grace. Wives march beneath it's glittering sign, Fond mothers swell the lovely line; And many d sweetheart hides her blush In the young patriots generous flush. No breeze of battle ever famed The colors of that tender band; Its office is beside the bed. Where throbs some sick or wounded
 head.
 It does not court the soldiers tomb. But plies the needle and the loom: And by the thousand peaceful deeds Supplies a struggling nations needs. Nor is that armys gentle might Tnfelt amid the deadly fight; It nerves the sons the husbands hand, Ii points the lovers fearless brand IL thrills the languid warns the cold. Gives even new courage to the bold. And sometimes lifts the veriest clod TO is own lofty trust in God. When Heaven shall blow the trumpet of
 peace.
 And bid this weary warfare cease. Their several missions nobiy done, The triumph grasped. the freedom won; Both armies. from their tolls at rest, Alike may claim the yictors crest. But each shall sec it's dearest prize Clean softly from the others eyes.
