Stacking Alfalfa.

Throughout the western half of the
United States alfalfa hay is commonly
stored in stacks in the field Alfalfa
stacks will not shed water as readily
as stacks Of grass hay. In the arid
regions there is little danger from
rains during the season of storage, but
In humid climates it IS necessary to
store the hay in barns or else cover
the stacks with large tarpaulins, or
they may be topped with grass, 9th
erwiSc the percentage of waste IS very
large. In any case there is likely to
be some waste. for which reason the
stacks are made large, thus reducing
the proportionate amount of waste. In
the alfalfa regions of the west the
stacks are as high as the hay can be
handled easily and may DO 200 feet or
more in length The size OF the stack
IL then limited chiefly Ivy the convc-
ulence In bringing the hay from the
surrounding field.

Senate Passes Panama Bill.

Washington.-The Senate Saturday
passed the Panama canal emergency
bill. but the result was not attained
until the debate had been continued
the greater pert of the day, to the ex-
clusion of practically all other busi-
ness. Mr.. Newlands expressed the
opinion that the construction of the
canal should have been entrusted to
the Geological Survey.
A substitute for Mr.. Bacon's amend
ment offered by Mr.. Hale was ac-
cepted. 1t specifically requires that
Congress shall be supplied with regu'
lar estimates of all salaries except
those paid to laborers, skilled or un-

RECLAMATION WORK.
Enterprises in Hand to Reclaim 1,3o3,-
600 Acres of Arid Land.

Washington.-The secretary of the
interior has recently approved two
new reclamation projects. One, which
will be partly in Texas and partly in
New Mexico, is called the Rio Grande
project; the other, which will be
wholly in New Mexico, will be called
the Carlsbad project. The two addi-
tional projects will bring the num-
Der of reclamation schemes up to twen-
ty-four. OF these eleven are well I'M
der way. They provide for the recla-
nation of 1,303,60Q acres Of arid lands
at cost of $37,02S,571. These are big
figures and they represent big projects.
On June 80, 1905, the total cost of
construction and engineering work per-
formed by the reclamation service, to-
gether with the administration eX-
penses, amounted to $5,462, ,169. On
that date the reclamation fund had
reached a total of $2S,02S,571. 1t was
estimated at that time that the re-
ceipts for the fiscal years 1906-190S
would amount to $9,000,000, SO that
the sum of money available for recla-
nation purposes up to the end of 1908
will be $37,02S,571.
Since the work of reclamation began
n miles of main canals have been con
structed and 54 miles of distributing
canals. as we'll as 1856 miles of bitches
and LAT bridges. Over 9,350,000 cubic
yards of earth have been eXcavated
and three and one-half miles of tunnel
driven. The telephone lines installed
have measured $50 miles and the roads
built have covered 126 miles. 1t has
been necessary to erect fifty offices
and other buildings. One cement mill
has been constructed, the product of
which already amounts to $4,000 bar
rels. Besides the cement manufac-
tured by the reclamation service, use
has been found for $4,000 additional
barrels of cement, which were pur-
chased in open market. Over 2,SS0,O00
feet B. NJ of lumber have been sawed
for the work of construction and 1,750,-
900 feet B. NJ. in addition have been
amounts to 10000 cubic yards, the pud-
ding done to $500 cubic yards. and
the rip-rap completed to 10000 cubic
yards, and the paving to 100000 square
feet The railroad iron used amounts
to 10000 pounds, the structural steel
to 250,000 pounds, the cast iron to 600,-
900 pounds. The sheet piling driven
has amounted to 100000 lineal
feet, the bearing piles to 10000 lineal
feet.
These figures will give some idea OF
the gigantic size of the enterprise
which the engineers of the reclamation
service have in hand in the reclama-
tion of 1903 900 acres of arid land.

WISE MEN FROM THE EAST.
vii! Come From China to Study Our
Form of Government.

New York.-According to cable ad-
vices received by A. w. Bash, who has
extensive business interests in China,
the two divisions of imperial Chinese
commission appointed by the empress
dowager to study the governments of
Japan, Germany, Austria, France, Eng
land and the United States will arrive
in this country in February.
One of the divisions will journey
leisurely across the American conti-
nent from Seattle and take steamer
here for Europe. The other division
will make an extended stay in America,
expecting to spend at least two months
in Washington.
The party which will remain in
America to study the form of govern
ment here is headed by Tuang Fong,
governor of the province of Human, and
will arrive about February 25th at San
Francisco.
The party bound for Europe will ar
rive at Seattle about the time the other
reaches San Francisco. 1t is headed by
Prince TSai Chai. accompanied by
Grand Counsellor Hsu Kwon Chi. This
party's trip east has been planned with
a view of showing the commissioners
as much as possible of the country in
the brief time they will have before de-
parting for Europe.
Coming east the party will visit ST.
Paul and Minneapolis and inspect the
great flour mills of Minneapolis. Sew
eral days will be spent in Chicago, dur
ing which a study of municipal affairs
will be made. A stop will be made at
Niagara Falls and West Point will at
tract the Chinese visitors for a day,
and then they will go to Washington to
spend few days and see Congress in
session.
Leaving Washington the commits
sioners will visit the ship yards at
Philadelphia, and after spending sew
eral days in the city will sail for Eu-
rope to carry out their investigations
| there.
| When the commission first started
on it's journey, coming by way of Japan,
| it was rumored that the United States
would be avoided on account of it's ex-
| clusion of Chinese labOrers and the al
| legged i'll treatment of students and
other Chinese travellers at several
American ports.
The plan of crossing the continent
| through Canada was abandoned, how
ever, when it was realized that a study
of American form of government would
be one of the most important features
of the commissions labors, which, it is
declared, may form the basis for con-
stitutional form of government in
China within the next twelve years.

Plan to Import Brides.

Meeteetse, Wyo.--The Grey Bull
Club of this place has undertaken an
unique task. that of importing large
number of manageable females from
the East to the small towns of the Big
Horn Basin. 1t is pointed out that
the state census, just completed, re-
veals only 11S unmarried females over
twenty-one years of age, to ,52 sin
gle men of voting age.
The Grey Bull Club has issued call
for special meeting of the executive
committee, at which ways and means
will be devised to bring a large num-
Der of young women here. A fund will
be created and used to defray the ex-
pense of advertising in the eastern
daily papers. The advertisements will
call attention to the condition existing
here, the small number of marriage
able women, school teachers, domes-
tics and clerks, and the large number
of bachelors. 1t is expected this
method will bring results.

BANKER WALsH's CAREER.
Started Life as a Newsboy and Made
Millions.

Chicago-John r. Walsh. whose
banks and railroad enterprises have
tumbled about his ears, is 6S years OF
age and has lived in Chicago fifty-eight
years. His parents brought him from
Ireland when he was 10 years of age
and turned him loose to make his way.
He began as a newsboy, saved his
money, opened news stand, which
eventually grew into the American
News Company. continued to save his
money. bought bank stock, and in 1882.
backed by men who had faith in his
business ability, he founded the Chi
cago National Bank.
He speedily learned the relation be-
tween banking and politics and reached
out for state and county and city funds
and got them. Five years later he
took over the Home Savings Bank.
Then he organized the Equitable Trust
Company and bought the Chicago Her.
aid. One year after selling the Her.
laid he established the Chicago Chron-
,icle. This gave him n strong political
lever and he became tremendous
financial and political power. He then
began buying mp street railway and gas
systems and dabbling in railroads.
The Southern Indiana railroad, his
pet venture, was too heavy for one man
to carry and 1t broke his financial
back. He had two opportunities to un-
load It at valuable premium.
Personally he is taciturn and little
given to appearing in public. He has
made and broken many men and built
up vast enterprises. His failures have
not shaken Chicago financial institu-
tions. On the contrary, they are
stronger thereby.
To-day thousands lined up and drew
their money. Nearly $3,000,000 was
paid out. Every grade of humanity
was in the lines, from the millionaire
to the ragged newsboy.
Payment was made in gold, and as
many of the depositors were women,
they Immediately sought secluded cor.
ners to conceal their money. One
woman, who seemed much perplexed,
admitted that in her excitement and
haste to get to the bank she had for
gotten to put on her stockings and had
no place 20 carry her wealth.

CHICAGO FAILURE.
JOHN r. WALSH'S THREE INSTITU.
TloNS SUSPEND OPERATIONS.
DEPosIToRs WILL BE PAID
Clearing House Comes to the Rescue
Walsh Claims That Securities
Largely Exceed Liabilities,

Chicago.-Three of the largest finan-
cago National Bank. the Home Savings
Bank and the Equitable Trust Com
pany, all of them controlled by John
r. Walsh of this city, and in great
measure owned by him, suspended op-
erations Monday. Their affairs will be
liquidated as rapidly as possible and
they will go out of business
Mr.. Walsh, who was the president Of
the Chicago National Bank and of the
Equitable Trust Company, has re-
signed. G. H. Bosworth, national bank
examiner, has succeeded Mr.. Walsh at
the head of the Chicago National Bank,
and the places of the directors have
been filled by men appointed by the
Chicago Clearing House. Back of the
new management stand the allied
banks of Chicago, who have pledged
their resources that every depositor
shall be paid the last cent and that no
customer of any one of the three insti-
tutions shall lose anything by reason
of the suspension. Had not this ac-
ton been taken by the banks of this
city, a disastrous panic must have fol-
lowed in the financial world.
The immediate cause of the collapse
of the institutions controlled by Mr..
Walsh is said to be the large amount
of money which they have loaned to
various private enterprises of his
notably the Southern Indiana railway
and the Bedford Quarries Company of
Indiana.
Mr.. Walsh claims that if he could
have had little more time and been
left untrammeled in his operations, he
could nave saved his banks and made
enormous profits for himself and his
associates. He bases this statement
on his estimate of the value of the
bonds Of the Southern Indiana Railroad
Company.
The comptroller, the state auditor and
the members of the Chicago Clearing
House committee place the value of
the bonds at one-half the valuation of
Mr.. Walsh, and it was their refusal to
accept his valuation that caused the
suspension of the banks.
The liabilities of the three institu-
tions are estimated in the aggregate at
$26,0O0,0O0.
Against this amount the banks and
the trust companies have resources
that are on a conservative estimate
worth $16OO0.O0O. The bonds of the
Southern Indiana Railroad Company
are estimated by Mr.. Walsh as being
worth $160OO,00O. They are considered
by the comptroller and the clearing
house committee to be worth a little
more than half that sum.
The directors of the two banks and
Mr.. Walsh, who has turned over all of
his private property, as well as that
standing in the name of his wife, have
pledged real estate and securities val
:ued at $5,OOO,0OO. and estimate the
railroad bonds at 5000, 900 more, max
ing total of S29,000,00O assets
against 100000 liabilities.
