REcLA1MING DESERT LANDS.

According to an official of the Geo.
logical Survey, in the three years since
the Federal Government organized it's
reclamation service II miles of main
irrigation canals of river size have
been built, which, with others of
smaller dimensions constructed within
the past % years, make a total of
irrigation canals in the United States
ding enough to span the earth twice
and representing an outlay of $780,
100000 Every year." we are told,
the area reached by these canals re-
turns q harvest valued at more than
$50, 900, with population of
100000 dwelling in harmony and
contentment, where only a short time
ago wilderness or a desert reigned." 1t
is beyond question that no Investment
of Government funds has yielded such
large, immediate, and satisfactory re-
turns as the money expended for irri-
cation purposes in the Far West. No

one except those who have visited such
sections of the Union as Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and Southern Califor-
Mo can realize what irrigation has al
ready done and what its extension
means for the future of these regions.
where often for eight months of the
year not a. drop of rain falls. Southern
California-now one of the richest,
most fertile, and populous sections of
the United States-would still be, for
the most part, and arid and uninhabit-
able country were it not for its vast
systems of irrigation. The saying in
all these regions that water is life'
has a significance elsewhere unknown.
The Federal Government has adopted
a generous and far-sighted policy In
regard to reclamation projects; but it
might expend 10 times the amount
thus far appropriated with surety of
getting at least 81 back for. every one
expended iwthin a few years in perma-
nent additions to the Nations wealth.

chansced to be near the scene of the ac-

back, and, riding him strongly, actual

Has a winning horse ever died as 1t
passed the post? There is no record of
such, or it would almost have excelled
the noted Woods Gate to Borough
event as curiosity. But there is
case where a racer did die on passing
the post, though it was not a winner,
This was when Counterpart, a de-
scendant Of Hermit, ran for the Stock
bridge cup in 1886 and fell down just as
1t coached the judges box. 1t never
rose agSSSs and was taken away dead
to be buried st Danebury.
A most unusual thing, too. 1t must be
to find a race horse drowned during the
running of great race. Yet this is
what happened to Ballyshannon at Tot
mes four or five years back. The horse
was engaged in the Totnes handicap
hurdle race, and the River Dart runs
close by the side of the track. From
some cause which was never quite
clear, Ballyshannon went to pieces dur
ing the race, collapsed badly and roll
ing over, fell into the river, where it
was drowned before 1t could be rescued.
There has within the last few years
been more than one case where two
horses have run a dead heat a second
time, after having done so in their
original race, but we have to go a very
long way back to find this unusual
thing Happening third time. In fact,
perhaps the only recorded instance was
in 1920, when Handel and Tarragon, at
the races at Newcastle-under-Ly
tried three times to decide which was
the better horse and each time ran a
dead heat. What excitement there
must have been on that course!

pead Horse That Won the Stakes
How Steeplechase Was Won.
A horse that falls asleep during an
important race must surely have few

Happy Bird did when running at Cat
wick a year or so ago She was ridden
by Birch, the jockey, and belonged to

One of the two horses fell and died.
owing to the exertion, after having
gone only fifteen miles, and the other

time. The hackers of the dead animal
therefore obtained an old fiat cart
placed the deceased horse on it, with
the Jockey on it's back, and soon out
distanced the rival steed, which was
scarcely even able to walk. The lat
ter's supporters then tried the same
dodge, but were unable to get t1at
cart for their steed; and so the dead
horse came In easily first at Woods
Gate, and was awarded the stakes OF
one hundred and fifty guineas. AND

It is not generally known that the

SUSPECTS GROSS
WASTE IN NAVY
Congressman Foss Wants to Know
Where 100000 Expendi-
tUre Was Made.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-John Gallon
o 'Laughlin, in a Washington special to
the Chicago Tribune, sayy:
Representative Foss Of Chicago,
s cha ma Of the house naval 6a
have determined to adopt stringent
methods to prevent what is believed to
sbe gross extravaganza iii the navy.
The appropriations made for repairs,
ETC., to the hulls and machinery of war
ships during the last fiscal year amount
s to $12, 100000. Of this, the department
returns report only $6,000,00O expended
at the navy yard, where all repairs are
made. The committee has called upon
the navy department. to explain the use
to which the remaining $6,00000O has
been put.
The mysterious disappearance Of
$6,000,00O probably will be explained
in some way, probably by statements
that it has been expended in repairing
or improving the plants at the navy
yards. But even this explanation will
prove unsatisfactory to the committee.
For years congress has been appropriat-
ing millions to put the navy yards in
frst-class condition. The appropria-
tions have stated specifically what they
are for IF the navy department. has
authorized the diversion Of funds to
swell the amount available for the
yards, the naval committee proposes to
make a strong protest and probably
adopt. legislation which will put an end
to such practices.

Knox county, took a long stride nearer
to goodness a few days ago, when the
shining porcelain tub arrived by ex-
press from the seats of civilization. One
Saunders, who conducts the local bar
bershop, imported the luxury, and i'm
mediately became the most aistih-
guished citizen Of the place.
He installed it in his place of bust
ness, which is dignifed by The title of
"Hotel Annex chastely screened off
to satisfy the proprieties and pro-
claimed that all who wished to cleanse
themselves after the manner Of city
jewellers might do so for modest sti-
pend.
The entire male population visited
the annex to view the famous tub
as it stood in its cloister, and there
was. j more exClJemenL IMAM =Wnen the
last circus came to town. A favored
few were permitted to use it without
charge, in order that correct impress;
sion Of the virtues Of the tub might
be spread abroad in the land Then
bathing became almost a habit in Cen
ter and virile splashing might be heard
within the annex at any hour of
the day.
But when the wives Of the bathers
heard Of these frequent applications Of
soap and water, Indignation ran high
at all the meetings of the Dorcas so
ciety. "Reminiscences were sent to Mr..
Saunders, asking why no provision had
been made for the ladies. Saunders con
fcrred with his friends and then insert
! ed the following announcement in this
weeks issue Of the local newspaper:
! 1--WE are requested to inform the
ladies Of Center that Thursday will be
ladies' day at the new bathroom in the
Hotel Annex. None but ladies will be
allowed to battle on that day, and they
are invited to take advantage Of the
new tub. Every courtesy will be shown
to patrons. -
Therefore, the women of Center
Neb., battle once a week-at least.
