than has been brought about by any
other Legislative enactment in the
country's history with the exception
of the homestead law.
Engineers estimate that by this
sct it will be possible and practica-
BILE to reclaim one hundred millions
of acres of land now useless. The
com pletion of this work will increase
the crop belt of the country by
twenty-five per cent. 1t will make
two and one-half millions of forty
acre farms, and offer good living
for twenty millions of persons.
The value of the reclamation pro-
ject to the country lies in the Prac-
ticability of the scheme. The lands
are open to settlement under the
homestead law exactly as are gov
ernment lands where irrigation is
unnecessary. For the title to the
water right the government charges
$26 per acre, or 81, ,040 for a forty
acre tract. The payments extend
over ten years and, as title will not
lapse until two payments have been
passed, the homesteader will have
chance to tide over hard year. No
interest will be charged on deferred
ayments but it is likely that in
ducemeuts will be offered for early
settlement When the ten years
have elapsed the irrigation system
will be turned over to water users
association to be organized under
the di1ection of the Secretary of the
Interior. Perpetual government
regulation of the system is secured
by the retention of the the title to
the sources of supply in the govern
ment.
Speculation as to the possibilities
that lie in this work of reclamation
might be carried on Indefinitely. 1t
is within the range of reason, how
ever, to say that it offers more for
the solution of the tenement house
problem, other phases of the slums
problem, the public health problem
the immigration problem and Of
sociological problems in general than
is to be expected from any other
source now in sight.-Colorado

There is talk of filing restraining
papers against our popular canal
superintendent Carl Burk. Since
he has been filling that high office
he has more than supplied us with

they need 1t or not, and by so doing
it is an injury to themselves and

Colorado Chapter Of p. e. o.

Volo4aOO Su1 PtOb q - e "
After the most successful gather
ing Of its kind in the history Of the
society, the third annual convention
of the Colorado chapter Of the p. E..
v. sisterhood, came to . close with
appropriate ceremonies this morning.
The full delegation was in attend
ance throughout the convention and
the utmost harmony and good feel
ing prevailed. The next meeting
will be held at Lamar, but the date
has not yet been determined.
The principal business of the
morning. session was the election OF
officers and the appointment of del
egates to the supreme convention,
which will be held at Thorntown,
Indiana, October 10.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, Mrs. Katherine
Knapp Robertson, Pueblo; first vice
president, Margaret Durward, Mani
tou; second vice president, Mrs.
Mary Kindmsn, Trinidad; recording
secretary, Amaha McClanahan, Gree
ley; corresponding secretary. Miss
Bessie Melville, Las Animss; trea.
urer, Mrs. Adds X. Johnston, La.
mar; organizer, Mrs. Lulu Carroll
Colorado Springs. Mrs. Katherine
Knapp Robertson and Mrs. Lulu
Carroll were appointed delegates te
the supreme convention.
This afternoon the delegates are
taking q trolley ride about the city
and will later leave for their homes
in vsriouis parts Of the stste.--Colo

return for their money. There are
four common methods: By mail in
personal letter, on a billboard, in q
magazine, in . newspaper. As q
rule, advertisers have found that the
circular is cast aside unopened or
with q cursory glance. The bill
board will not suffice for details, al
though if the object merely is to
keep the name of the article in mind,
it has its uses. The magazine comes
out too infrequently and as the sd-
vertisements in it are punched" !"
position is almost impossible and the
individual notice loses its force. The
newspaper possesses all the sdvant-
ages and none Of the disadvantages
of the others, with many sdvant-
ages they do not possess. 1t is as
prompt as the mailed circular. 1t is
seen by more people than the bill
board, and given more minute at
tention, and in its columns "posi-
ton" may be had for any advertise
ment.
Yet it would be absurd for any
daily paper to claim that it is the
most suitable for all classes of ad-
veltising or to accept all classes of
advertising and expect to keep It's
circulation. The family daily, which
endeavors to print all the news that
is fit to print, but carefully excludes
the unfit, its aim being cleanliness
as we'll as accuracy, as rule is not
profitable organ for that class of
advertisers who would reach an ele-
ment that does not consider clean
liness essential. The dealer IN quack
nostrums should know that the con-
servative newspaper is not his field.
He would confine himself to the yell
low daily sheet and similar weeklies
and monthlies. On the other hand
the advertiser with legitimate bus
iuess proposition to place before the
people who have money to buy well
knows that the paper most read in
the saloons, tho poolroom and simi-
lar places, will bring him small re-
turns. The newspaper which brag 8
about itself continually and devotes
a large amount of its daily space to
advertisement of itself, also is usually
regarded with suspicion by the ad-
vertiser. In successful business, the
furry is avoided. Steady progress
is aimed at. The advertiser wishes
his goods to come before the public
eye in a medium in which the people
have confidence and which is admit.
ted to every home. The advertiser
aims first at the wife and mother
who makes a majority Of the pur
chases, and he knows that the paper
she reads must be fit for her children
to pick up.-Butte Inter Mountain

woman for better or for worse.
Great was his astonishment when
the man Requested time TO think the

thought the matter over for about
an hour. When he came back he ans
wered the question in the affirmative.

Don't you thing the woman was
right? The man might have chang
his mind again In an hour after The
ceremony. There could be no happi-
ness for her In such union, even
though the husband remained stead
