ALLIsoN,s NOTABLE RECORD.

Senator Allison has passed the SER
vice record of former Senator Morrill,,
of Vermont, and now holds the record
for length of continuous service in
the senate, having served thirty-one
years, nine months and twenty-six
days. The longest active service rec
ord is still held by the late John Sher-
man, VINO entered the senate March
%, 1861, as successor to Salmon P.
Chase, who became secretary Of the
treasury in President Lincoln's cabi-
net. Sherman remained in the senate
until March s, 1877, whe he became
secretary of the treasury in Hayes
cabinet. Sherman re-entered the SEN
ate again four years later and served
until March 5, 1897, when he resigned
to become secretary of state in Nc
Kinley's cabinet. His total service is
therefore thirty-one years, eleven
months and fourteen days. Before
the end of the present session Sena-
tor Allison will not only have the long
est continuous service, but also the
longest actual service in the senate.
His present term will not expire un
til four years from the Attn of next
March, and he is in such prime health
that he is likely to be in the senate
much longer. The three men named
have had service in the house which
makes their public service of remark.
able length. Allison was eight years
in the house, Morrill, twelve,a n Sher.
man eight. Sherman had four years
in one cabinet and a year and a half
in another, which made his total pub,
lie service longer than Morrills, al
though both entered congress at the
same time, March A, 1855. Allison did
not become a member of congress as
soon as either Morrill, or Sherman
and his public career is not as long
as theirs, but it bids fair to be longer

VALUE OF

The Bureau of the Census has just
published an interesting bulletin show
ing the condition of irrigation in the
United States. The statistics pre-
scented were obtained by correspond
ence, supplemented by field work in
a few states and by information given
by state engineers and their assist
ants.
During the last twenty years there
has been an awakening to the oppor-
tunity that lies in the arid West for
the farmer and the home-maker, and a
remarkable transformation has taken
place in many parts of this region.
Thousands Of miles of canals, repre-
senting a vast expenditure Of money
and labor, distribute water upon more
than 5000, 900 acres Of land, which
once was a barren desert but now is
annually producing crops worth $780,
900, 900.
The remotest parts Of our great
desert are being reached by railroads,
and the introduction of facilities for
transportation has been followed by
a corresponding increase in irrigation.
The irrigators, too, are becoming
more experienced; their labors are
less evere and their achievements
are greater than those of their prede-
cessors, because they nave learned
how to subdue and apply the forces
of nature through innumerable inven-
tions. Problems of water storage
and diversion have been worked out
to a practical solution. Every avail
able stream is now a potent force for
good. The dams that hold back and
store the floods also furnish abundant
electric power for all purposes, and
even the flow of the canals turns
wheels that lift large quantities OF
water to fields above the level OF
gravity supply.
With the development Of Irrigation
the range supports larger herds and
flocks, while in more than one val
ley the irrigation bitches have made
