National Irrigation Projects.

There are few people who compre-
bend the vast scope Of the government
work which was inaugurated by the
passage of the national irrigation act
three years ago, and today there are
many who have no knowledge of what
has been accomplished by the reclama-
ton service of the government in three
short years along the line Of reclaim
ing the arid western lands.
The general reader may form some
idea of the progress of the work by
noting the following facts, which are a
brief summary of statement recently
issued by the reclamation service.
There are now under actual construc-
ton, in eleven states and territories,
the following projects, viz: Salt River,
Yuma, Uncompahgre, Minidoka, Hunt
ley, Fort Buford, North Platte, True
kee- Carson, Hondo, Belle Forche, and
Shoshone. The total amount set aside
for beginning construction on the
above named projects is S23,9T0,00O,
and the land irrigable under the same
is estimated to be 100000 acres. On
one of these projects, the Truckee-
Carson, the work has been partially
completed, and water was turned on
$4,000 acres last June.
The following projects have been ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior
and construction of the same will soon
be commenced: Klamath Falls, NAL
heur, Milk River. Bismarck, Bnford-
Trenton, Palouse, Payette- BOISE, ana
Strawberry Valley For the construc-
ton of these S1U,3O0,00O have been set
aside, and $4,000 acres will be irrigated
under the same.
Thus it will be seen that up to date
the total amount set aside for national
irrigation works is s34, 100000. and that
when the sum has been expended l.
100000 acres, now desert and mostly
unproductive, will be irrigated and be-
come productive.
And this is only the beginning of the
great work of national irrigation.

Grim. Stalking Scandal.

The heated term and the dull season
in Washington have beer made endnr-
able and many newspaper columns
filled through the various scandals in
the various government departments
that have como to light. Some have
shown corruption; others have appar-
emily been founded on groundless
charges. The government printing
office trouble, which has resulted in
the prompt cashiering of Public Print
er Palmer by the president, for time
occupied considerable attention. 1t
has thus far developed nothing corrupt
but only an unfortunate bias and diff
ference in opinion among the executive
machinery of the office. A serious de-
falcation in the Smithsonian Institute
seems to have resulted from a some
what careless method of auditing &C
counts, which has been remedied
although the government is out some
money. The 'cotton leak" in the de-
partment of agriculture has gotten a
number of people, including some Wall
street brokers, into serious trouble
also in Jail; but the department and
Secretary Wilson's strong personality
and splendid genius for work and or.
ganization comes out of the investiga.
ton stronger than ever. The latest
vexation appears in the charges against
Chairman Shouts of the Panama cana
commission, who has recently awarded
a tive-years' contract for feeding anc
housing the thousands of Panama
canal officials and laborers to a firm by
the name of Markell & Co., without
properly considering other bids. 1t is
stated that the contract involves al
amount approximating s5O,uUO,0O0. The
president has been petitioned to hole
up the contract and give the subject /
thorough investigation.
Secretary Hitchcock of the depart
ment of the interior continues to pl,
his probe in efforts to bring the west
ern land and timber thieves to tn,
block. If the land fraud question
could be reduced to terms of dollar,
and cents-what the government anC
the people have lost through these out
rages-a scandal would present itsel
to the eye compared to which the re
cent postoffice department and othe
troubles would appear as pin prick
alongside of a mighty carbuncle. Tai

Risks in Australia.

An explorer in the back woods of Aus
tralia tells how some timber cutters
took big risks. Il had given Instructions
to the men in the bush that on no ac-
count were they to lay aside the fire.
arms, he says. "After having been alb
sent for a short time l returned and
found that they had slung their revolv-
ers and carbines on a small tree and
were working at about so yards from
them. | can tell you they heard of it.
The natives have playful habit of
dragging their spears through the grass
with their toes and all the while looking
as innocent as it is possible for them to
look. If the natives had only thought
of it they might have given the cutters a
warm time. IN Y Globe.

THE DESERT WEST.


In these days when the st. Louis ex-
position has awakened and the Lewis
and Clark exposition has greatly slim
ulated interest in the great west, and
when at the same time we are reading of
the vast crops that are being raised in
the west and of the work that is being
done In irrigation, it is interesting to
look back at the opinion of the west that
was held by previous generation and
analyze that feeling, writes Charles
Woodward Lamb.
For long time the west was known
as a desert and it was so described in
many books, both educational and fic-
ton This was especially true Of
books published in England, and it Is to
be remembered that for many years
English works held the precedence in
this country, and official reports that
told more of the truth were neglected.
1t Is only rs years ago that English
works describing the west as desert
waste were popular and much read in
that part of the west east of the Missis
sippi as well as in the east. AS late as
Union, in the fifties, a United States
senator opposed its admission, saying
| 1t was a desert waste with an arctic eli
mate and could never support an Amer
lean population, and when he was told
that residents of the state and federal
officers reported differently he quoted
English books that in turn had quoted
French writer's, and declared that Amer
leans were prejudiced.
Now it is a strange thing that
| the translation of a simple word
! should affect popular opinion re-
| garding one of the earth's great
est empires, but that is just what
caused this misunderstanding the lit
/ tie word desert. On all of the old French
maps, and it was the French who first
explored this great west, the unknown
places were marked Desert gener-
ally with the picture of griffin or other
fabulous beast beside the word. With
out much of an understanding of the
meaning of the word the early English
/ publishers copied these old French maps
and the people used them and in
terpreted the word according to the
English understanding, so that all the
English-speaking world came to believe
that the greater part of the American
continent was hopeless waste instead
Of merely a wilderness, new and unex-
plored, which is what the word, as used
by the French, really meant
1t is from the use of this word in the
sense of an unexplored wilderness that
we have gathered the word desert as
used on many western towns, noun
tains and lakes to-day, such as the beau
tiful Lake of the View of the Desert, in
northern Wisconsin, a lake first ex-
/ plored by the French and given the name
because of its location between the wild
hills and pine forests. The two or
three mountains that bear the name also
have received it from this same source,
as well as several towns.
A little intelligence leaveneth the
mass of ignorance and little ignorance
does some funny things to a whole lot
of intelligence.
