OLD CHURCH RECORDS.
Important Discovery In Iron Box Under
PIaDkIng at Kings Chapel, Boston.

Boston, April IA rusty iron box about
Is inches long. containing many ancient
records and valuable papers. was discov-
ered by the sexton OF Kings chapel yes
terday. The box was hidden under the
planking Just behind the pulpit In the
ancient edihce, and considerable interest
has been aroused among Boston histori-
aus by the discovery.
The first deeds Of the church were
among the papers. They date back to the
-.th century, and one OF them is the deed
to the lot OF land upon which the church
was erected. This document is dated 1850.
There was n diary kept by Boston pa
triot telling OF the disgraceful way the
building was used by the British soldiers
Ia l775, when Gen. Howe and his officers
attended theatrical entertainments there.
The papers were well preserved and they
will be submitted 10 tho next meeting Of
the church corporation. Those not neces-
sory to keep on file probably will be pre-
sented TO tho Massachusetts, Historical

ENTERPRISE
TO RECLAIM
ARID LANDS

Washington. April 3-It Is estimated
that there are in the United States 6o0
| 100000 acres OF so-caled arid lands. a
valueless empire whose chief products
| are sand. sage brush and cactus.
AS mere statement by itself COO 0oo, 900
acres suggests only vague immensity.
They are the equivalent OF more than
900, 900 square miles, or nearly one-third
OF the entire area OF the United States
out OF such an area might be carved
four countries the size OF France or Ger
many. with two states like New York
added TO All up the corners. AS It is, this
vast region is practically worthless. Some
day fits value will be estimated In billions
OF dollars.
Private enterprise has already reclaimed
nearly 100000 acres OF this region.
The work has now been undertaken as
n national enterprise. a national system
OF irrigation Is an outsrowth of the sur
vey OF public lands and photographic re-
search.
From 1883 until the passage OF the
reclamation act in 1902 the work of sur
vey was pushed with such energy as was
possible with limited appropriations for
the work
Two important points required clear
determination: First, arid areas which
could be irrigated; and secondly, areas
which could not be irrigated on account
OF the absence Of available water supply.
The vastness OF this investigation Is little
appreciated by the general public.
A 27O FOOT DAM
Water courses must be definitely located
throughout an enormous area and their
volume I'm food and IN drought accurately
! measured to determine the acreage over
| which the supply could be distributed.
| This in itself involved a double problem
! In some cases there was involved only the
! diversion and distribution OF river cur
! rent by means OF canals and lateral
! bitches. other cases involved water stor-
| age and regulation OF flow and supply.
The latter condition introduces engineer
! ing problems OF no little complexity. Mas
/ sive dams must be built 10 confine the
foods which I'm the spring time come from
| the melting SHOWS OF the mountain sides
| The water stored IN basins among the
! hills must be conveyed through canals of
permanent structure to the arid fields Of
ten many miles distant
One huge project now under way is the
| Roosevelt dam on Salt River i'm Arizona.
lilo height OF this structure from its
foundation to the top OF the parapet will
be 270 feet
When IL Is constructed the water behind
IL will form lake % miles long and from
one 10 two miles wide. The storage capac-
ity will he greater than that OF any other
artificial reservoir in the world. This is
ore of the most interesting enterprises OF
the entire system.
particularly interesting feature OF this
enormous enterprise is the fact that
practically 1t will cost nothing. The work.
ing capital, now about $25O00,OO0, comes
from the sale of public lands AS areas
are reclaimed they will bu sold TO settlers
At prices which will return the outlay.

GREED OF EXPRESS COMPANIES.

In the last report of the Maine com
missioners of inland fisheries and
game is an express charge of $500 for
carrying liver to the fish hatcheries,
while the total cost for the liver.
bought at market rates, was out
$1,375.
In his last report TO congress,
United States Commissioner of Fisher
les George NJ. Bowers returns thanks
to the railroads of the country for Civ
ing free transit for The special cars of
the fish hatcheTies over their lines.
This is as it should be. Every can Of
fish fry that is taken TO inland waters
to be planted gives promise of addi-
tional travel by anglers. This is bust
TESS, the sort that makes railway
travel in America the best in the world
But Messrs. Thomas Plat ct al.
we're cast in a stingy mold. The in
ference would be that the express
companies would strive TO increag~
their already heavy business in Maine
as carriers for anglers and summer
visitors by assisting the state in the
propagation of fish fry for distribution
in public waters. Not so. Instead
here is liver sufficient TO feed all the
hsh Try Matched in Maine hatcheries
for a year costing S1,375 in the market,
and then costing 5000 to be carried to
the places of consumption by the ex-
press corporations.
The five great express corporations
have, in the past year. been the in
direct cause Of the quite considerable
curtailment of the usefulness of the
rural mail carriers OF the country, by
the order of July l, 1904, forbidding R.
F. d. carriers 10 carry anything that
was not strictly mail matter. We
