coon TIMES PREVAIL.

There are good times in the South end the wave of prosperity bids fair to rise much higher. The farmers this yearShsve obtained prices far better than usual for their cottcn. Steel plants ana textile mills are prosperous Other industries share in the good times prevailing.
 Alabama has not consented to lag, but on the contrary. seems bent on heading the procession. The Adverti- ser's State exchanges tell of the pros- perify of the farmers. The recent re- ports of the State banks show those in- stitutions to be in better condition than ever before. It would seem that this is the beginning rather than the end of a period of progress and development. |. All along the line the watchword Is Advancement New industries are be- ing established, and those in operation are increasing output.
 In speech to the business men of Chattanooga, James H. Eckles, former Comptroller of the Treasury. declared that the South in the future will have an exclusive field in the manufacture of iron and steel products and the spin- ming of cotton threads and the weaving of cloth. These are bold words. but the reputation of Mir. Eckles for soundness and conservatism are guarantees that they were not used for the purpose of fiattering a Southern audience. In all Likelihood will the prophecy be verified. Alabama's share will be abundant. It is indisputable that this State can man. ufacture iron and steel cheaper than 1t can be made elsewhere on earth. The success of the cotton nils of the South is evidence that in the future it will hold its own in this line. Never be- fore was the Southern business man and planter more optimistic, and never before existed better reason for that \ optimism. Let Advancement continue to be the slogan of the South.

for the object of the reclamation act
is to provide homes for the home
seeker.
That this bleak desert will be com
pletely transformed through irriga-
tion is fairly assured by the fact that
whenever water has been brought to
the land in the Carson valley by the
individuals who own small farms
scattered along the little Carson river,
crops g. ow with great luxuriance. AL
talia grows rapidly, and the stock
feeding upon 1t look sleek and in
prime condition.
The Yuma project on the Colorado
river is of especial interest at this
time because 1t is located close to the
lmeprial valley country on the Col
orado desert where is located the
largest irrigation works, either pub
lie or private, in the United States.
Within four years 100000 acres have
been put under actual irrigation in the
Imperial valley through the diversion
of waters from the Colorado river.
OF this 100000 acres almost half Is
in barley; 10000 acres is in alfalfa.
On the American side of the Imperial
valley there are some $4,000 head of
cattle, large part of which is dairy
stock, and there are 10000 head more
on the Mexican side.

no less than 100000 acres, the en-
gineers OF the reclamation service are
preparing surveys on a great many
other projects which will be under
taken as rapidly as the fund expands
and is returned to begin work.
The opening of the Truckee- Carson
project, Nevada. was celebI ated just
three years from the passage of the
reclamation act on June II, 1902. 1t
was the first great step in upbuilding

closely connected, for with the stor-
age of waters the crests OF the spring
floods which have often broken the
levees on the lower reaches of the
Sacramento river and destroyed mil
lions OF dollars worth OF property,
will be contl oiled. The climatic con-
ditions in the Sacramento valley are
far less extreme than those in the des-
ert regions.
Although the government contem-
plates irrigation works ior the benefit
of homeseekers, and endeavors so
far as possible to undertake works
with the view of bringing water to
available government lands, yet in
the event that individuals are willing
to subdivide their lands and to sign
contract which will prevent land
speculation and anticipating Increased
values through irrigation, irrigation
works will be undertai, ,sa. under the
reclamation act where the iand is in
private ownership. This is the case
in the Salt river valley, Arizona,
where dam capable of impounding
enough water to irrigate 100000 acres
of land will be constructed. The set
tiers in that section have gone ahead
and accomplished maryels; the gov
eminent is coming to their aid. In the
Sacramento valley the land is mainly
in large holdings, there being individ
ual ranches of 100000 acres in ex-
tent.

WHAT IRRIGATION IS DOING FOR THE WEST
Scope of the Governments Vast PrOW Open the Way for the geS
AngoSaxOn Settlement the World Has Ever Known

San Francisco, Aug. THE mil
lions of acres of arid lands of the
west already thrown open to the
farmer by irrigation, and the millions
more to be thrown open, will, 1t is
claimed by irrigation experts, open
the way for the mightiest Anglo-Saxon
settlement the world has ever known.
1t is estimated that about 100000
acres of land in all, will be reclaimed
by the government projects.
The work which the government Is
executing in constructing great stor-
age and diversion dams and in build
ing canals, laterals and head gates, is
the largest undertaking of the kind
in the history of the United States.
The individual projects which will
form almost a chain of irrigated areas
in the west are so vast in scope and
their execution so expansive that they
absolutely prohibit or else deter pri-
yate capital. The permanent charac-
ter of the work undertaken under the
reclamation act was shown in opening
the Truckee-Carson project near Reno,
Nevada. on June II, last. The huge
head gates on the Truckee-Carson
canal are concrete, all of one piece,
and present an impregnable appear
ance. With ordinary care they will
last for centuries, defying storms and
floods and keeping the water under
absolute control at all times. Their nm
ished and striking appearance ofers
a contrast to the points at which the
water is diverted fIom the Colorado
river to the imperial country, in the
Southern part of California. with
such headgates the water could not
have escaped through the irrigated
country at Imperial into the Salton
Sing creating a vast inland sea thirty
miles long and five miles wide. The
works on the Truckee-Carson pro-
ject testify to the fact that the gov
ernment with it's expert engineers and
ample funds is able to come to the
aid of the west with projects OF
lasting character, and while encourag-
ing and desiring irrigation work by
private capital has the ability to un-
dertake the greater works with a
completeness and permanency beyond
the reach of individual funds.
The reclamation act provides that
funds from the sale of certain public
lands shall be applied by the govern
works. At the present time the
fund amounts to about $2S,000,0O0, and
is increasing at the rate of $4,00O,OOO
annually. The fund is self-continuing.
After the irrigation works have been
constructed the sum expended in any
work is to be returned to the govern
ment in ten equal annual installments
by the settlers, pro rata. At the end
of the first year after any one pro
ject has been completed, one-tenth OF
the original amount expended on that
work is to be returned and put into
other projects.
Among the great projects of the
government is the Shoshone project
Wyoming, which will irrigate 160,'
900 acres of public land: the Uncom'
pahgre valley project, Colorado, 100'
600 acres; the Belle Fourche project

invasion of the Japanese there occur
red the mysterious disappearance
from the island of convict named
Putilin, formerly a priest of Marrinsk
who year ago, was sentenced at
Tomsk, to penal seryitude for life for
a series of blood-curdling murders.
man of immense strength, Putilin
was very popular among his fellow
prisoners, and was a fayorite with the
convict guards. He played an impor-
tant part in the preparation of a con-
vict regiment to repel the Japanese,
but it is suspected that he took ad-
vantage of the disorders accompany
ing the invasion to make good his es-
cape.
The news Of his escape has caused
wave OF terror throughout eastern
Siberia. Many believe that the con
Vict-priest will throw himself on the
mercy of the japanese, If he has not
already done so, but some with terror
aver that Putilin will undoubtedly re
turn TO the scene of his former crimes
In the heyday Of his prosperity,
Father Putiin was one of the most
honored and respected men in the
neighbOrhOod Of Marrinsk But with
his three brothers (ail priests and
wealthy house owners), Father Putilin
in reality lived for years a double life
At night time the criminal quartet,
masking their faces, sailed out and
waylaid- wealthy travellers on the
cars highway. On one occasion they
even held up and robbed a Siberian
immigrant train.
Finady the four brothers were
brought to justice by an anonymous let,
ter, which advised the police that a
brass-bound chest under the altar OF
Father Putilin's church, II searched,
might be found to contain stolen prop
erty.
Concealing themselves in the
church at midnight, police and detect
ives, to their amazement, witnessed
their honOred priest Father Putilin,
holding benediction service In whcih
he blessed his three masked brothers,
and sprinkled their murderous reyol-
yers with holy water.
During the trial no fewer than sew
enteen murders were brought home 70
