converting to their use the nations re- sources in the west. MT. Hitchcocks viz orous measures, however, have seriously interfered with their proceedings and they are correspondingly bitter in their denun- citation of his acts.
 The states thus far to chiefly benefit through the irrigation law are Arizona, Wyoming, Montana and Nevada, although some of them have themselves made to it considerable contributions. Wyoming, because of its strategic geographical posi- ton and the fact that much of the water supply of the west originates in that part of the state, must of necessity have the storage reservoirs butt there, not only for the benefit of Wyoming but for Neb- raska well. The secretary has set aside s2, ,250, 900 for the Shoshone river, Wyom- ing project and $3,3300O for the Path finder project on North Platte river, to be partially expended for the benefit of Nebraska. Thus about 15 per cent of the entire reclamation fund will be expended in Wyoming. although she has contr- buted only about per cent of the fund. Scenes along the Platte and the Shoshone canyons are among the widest and most picturesque in America.

 The apportionment of the fund by Sec retary Hitchcock has been practically completed and the plans matured for ex- pending the entire fund on certain defin- ite nroiects in the west, which practical ly brings to an end further surveys ana examinations and permits the concentra- ton of effort of the reclamation service on the building of a few important pro- jects.

Gigantic Project in Southwest.

Second to wyoming comes the terfltory
 of Arizona, with the great Salt river pro
 ject at an estimated cost of about four
 million dollars. requiring upwards of 9
 per cent of the entire reclamation fund,
 although Arizona has contributed less than l per cent. 1t is stated by the en- gineers that the opportunities for water
 storage in Arizona are. next to Wyoming, the best in the arid west, while the soil of that territory is not only extremely fertile and lying at moderate altitude, but the climate is semi-tropical and un- der careful cultivation, ten or even five acres will support family. Southern Cal ifornia today, with a similar soil and cli- mate has thousands of prosperous little five and ten acre farms.
 The third state in order of irrigation benefits is Montana, which, although ly- ing far north, has splendid water sup ply and likewise rich land. Actual con struction has been begun by the govern ment on the Yellowstone where owing to the plentiful flow of water. none of the embarrassing complications of vested wa ter rights exists, which have prevented

Enmity of Land Grsbbers.

pepartment's Wide Authority.

The irrigation act gives the secretary of the interior very wide latitude in the investment of this large fund. although he is required to spend the major portion of the fund arising from the sale of public lands within each state or ter ritory for the benefit of their lands, so far as practicable.
 It Is a recognized fact that the contri- buttons to the fund from the various states are in most cases not in propor- tion to the need of those states for iIriga- tion. Arizona and Nevada, for instance, whose lands have contributed very little to the fund, have probably the greatest need and opportunity for reclamation, while on the other hand, North Dakota and Oklahoma. though large contributors, have perhaps the least actual need for irrigation of any of the western states In some cases the chief aim of politicians has been apparently not so much to de velop irrigation as to secure the expendi- ture of federal funds in the section they represent.

any phenomenal features were found at
or near the pole.
The problem is largely one of COM
missariat. 1t is a question of supply
ing the provisions, clothing and other
supplies necessary to keep men alive
for the time necessary to go from the
northern limit of ice free navigation
to the pole.
Secondarily. it is a problem of trans
portation, for the supplies and for the
explorers. Given an unlimited treas
ury, and series of food stations could
be established and regular traffic main
tanned between them as far as the pole
itself.
The United States government could.
If it desired to do so, establish a mail
route to the North Pole, and keep it
going with reasonable regularity and
frequency.
The reason why North Pole explor-
ers have failed is simply because they
have not employed the means neces-
sary to accomplish the desired result
If the plan of international exploration
is undertaken in earnest, it is certain
that the North Pole will be reached.

is different matter.-Pueblo Chief

Remarkable Submarine Boat.

1t is now believed that John P. Hol-
land, the inventor of successful
type of submarine boats, has improved
upon his invention to such an extent
that the submarines thus far built by
the nations will have to be consigned
to the scrap heap and be replaced by
the new boat which has stood a num-
ber of remarkable tests The new boat
attains an average speed of twenty
knots when submerged and can in case
of necessity make thirty knots an
hour, thus exceeding the speed of the
fastest cruiser. The old boats did well
to attain a speed of nine knots an hour
and will from now on be regarded more
as a curiosity than of any value in ac.
tual warfare

QUEST OF NORTH POLE.
Plan for international Direction of
Polar Exploration.

1t is practically certain that within
comparatively short time some ex-
plorer will reach the North Pole
In 1899 Captain Cagni of the Italian
expedition was within 236 miles of the
most northern extremity of the earth
and it is quite probable that some
member of an expedition now in the
arctic regions will make a new record
even if the pole itself is not reached.
An interesting development in the
plan of exploration has just been set
forth by the international Congress of
Economic Expansion in its convention
at Mons, Belgium, which adopted a mo-
tion approving plan for international
direction of polar exploration and ask
ing Belgium to take the initiative in
inviting the cooperation of other ma
tions.
The discovery of the North Pole is
now a matter of systematic and per-
sistent effort, rather than of bold cour-
age or good luck. Or, to say the same
thing in other words, the discovery is
largely question of the amount of
cab available for this purpose If the
amount that has already been spent
for this purpose without success were
now available in a lump sum, there
is little doubt that the pole could be
discovered Any government of Il
first-class power could send an expedi
tion to the pole, If it were worth the
cost 1t is not probable that there are
any difficulties or dangers to be en-
countered in the 236 miles remaining
that are any greater than those that
have been already successfully over
come.

Qualities That Will Win.

The policy concerning the Panama
canal enunciated by the President to
the consulting board of engineers is
wholly commendable. In brief, it is to
construct the best canal in the shortest
time. The two supremely desirable
qualities are promptness and efficiency
and they are coordinate. Neither Is to
be sacrificed to the other, and if not to
the other, certainly not to any or all
other considerations in the world

some nerve tablets. They helped me
