the promise bound up in the reclamation
act passed in 1902 by Congress-a clear
and explicit measure which provides
that the money derived from the sale Of
public lands shsll be devoted to the
erection of dams, reservoirs and canals
to be used in the irrigation OF the arid
lands and districts of the West. Since
he passage of the act the ablest en-
gineers in the employ of the Govern
ment have been continuously in the
field examining sites with reference to
their fitness for the erection of irriga-
ton works. Aside from the Truckee
Canal, the most imortant OF the under
takings upon which work has already
begun have to do with the regions
through which flow the COLORADO, North
Plat and Snake Rivers.
"It is estimated that 1,20O.O0 acres
Of land that can be reached by division
canals border on the Colorado River
between the Grand Canon and the
Mexican line. The plans ofthe Govern
ment engineers call for series of reser.
voirs at points along thes river where
the conditions for storage are most
favorable, to be formed by building
dams from 100 to 300 feet in height
Each dam will have sluice way through
its base, so that the water may be
drawn off as desired, and also to provide
means of flushing out the sediment
brought down by the river in great
quantities from its upper courses. So
slight is the fall of the Colorado that
dams of the desired height make pos.
sibla reservoirs of an enormous capacity.
1t is calculated that each reservoir will
gradually fill with sediment. When
this occurs it's surface will be drawn
down from 20 to 40 feet, and all of the
site, except the river channel, converted
into farming land. The crops planted
on this land will be irrigated az they
need it by closing the sluices, and this,
with the semi tropic climate, will make
farming possible the year around"

Gems and Their Days.

In the old mystic books Of the an
clients it Is found that they believed in
the power Of precious stones to bring
good fortune through planetary attini-
ties Of certain days. They imagined
that gems as well as metals were pro-
duced through the chemical operations
OF the planets working secretly in the
body Of the earth. Therefore certain
stones must be worn on certain days
Of the week for good luck.
The table of stones as given by the
Uermctlc brethren is as follows:
Sunday, the suns day, gold and all
yellow stones.
Monday, the moons day, pearls and
all white stones except diamonds.
Tuesday, Mars or Tyr's day, rubles.
Wednesday, Woden's day, sapphires
and all blue stones.
Thursday, Thor's day, garnet and all
red stones except rubies.
Friday Freja's day, emeralds and all
green stones.
Saturday. Saturn's dav. diamonds.

ENGLISH FACTORY LAWS.
Brought About by Pitiable Condi-
tions In Cotton Factories.

Brought About by Pitiable Condi-
tions In Cotton Factories.
The first English factory laws were
made In 1902 and were enacted mainly
because Of the pitable condition Of the
young pauper children employed In the
Lancashire cotton factories.
An outbreak of fever in the Rad
cliffe Cotton works, 1884, was traced
by Manchester doctors to overcrowded
and insanitary factories and the long
hours Of the workers. The magistrates
made an attempt to lessen the evils,
but In spite Of their success In slightly
reducing the hours Of labor things
grew worse and other epidemics oc-
CURED.
The Manchester board of health took
the matter up in 1906 and urged the
necessity Of legislation to deal effec-
lively with it. Public interest was
aroused, and further revelations Of the
fragrant I'll treatment Of apprentices so
deeply stirred public feeling that in
1902 Sir Robert Peel brought IN bill
known as the health and morals of
apprentices act" which was passed
without difficulty and placed on the
statute book

Retaining The Desert.

On the 17;h of June the sluice gates
were opened in the Truc9p River reseI-
voir bv which thousands Of acres Of aid
Nevada land are to be hro-ght under
cultivation. The issue of public opinICn
appearing on the came date, there is an
article by Rrfus Rockwell Wilson, on
the "Conquest of the ard West" Mr..
Wilson, in writing of the general sltua-
ton. says:
There a e in the West 100, 900 600
acres of arid land which experts declare
can be reclaimed by irrigation. When
that is done the reclaimed lnnds will add
nearly one-fourth to the actual crop
producing area of the country, and will
exceed by liberal margin the til'able
land Of all the states on the Atlantic
coqss. Cut MP into I0-acre plots. the
average size of irrigated farms. this area
will make 2,5OO,OO farms. The occu
pants of these farms will add directly to
the population - SOC, 900, and indirectly
at least 6, ,250, 900 more, an increase of
nearly one-fourth in the population o.

Jap Spies Now Excluded.

The action of the naval authorities 10
excluding Il Japanese attendants from
warships in the maneuvers in Chesa.
peake waters is timely. The intimation
that the order is the beginning of the
riddng of the navy OF all Japanese help
is even more important. The Japanese
servant is much in evidence in the mess
rooms of our warships, some vessels
carrying as many as a dozen of these
very competent and always willing
helpers. Admiral Evans had serious
shock the other day when he discovered
in a prominent japanese naval officer
commander OF one OF Togo's battleships, +,
in fact-the Japanese "boy" who had
attended the admiral as servant on
his flagship Many other American
naval officers have had similar experl-
ence-so have European naval officers.
The Japanese spy system is the most
perfect IN the world. japanese of the
highest rank will perform the most
meninl work to gain Information for the
strengthening OF their country's position.
TIE "Cooiies' no loaded coal on Ad-
miral r RoiestvensI VS. i'll starred fleet are
now known to have been in many in
stances Japanese naval officers in dis
gnise. Togo was probably better infor-
med as to The condition OF the Russian
fleet than was Rojestvenskv himself.
That the Japanese have detailed plans
of American battleshlps down to every
elbow hole" left in the ships armour
by rascslly contractors is something
more than probable. They certainly
know more than it is well for us that
they should know. The shutting off of
their chief source of information by ex-
cluding all japanese from our warships
should not be delayed.
