FEEDER S NEW SCHEME.
Would Have Trees Planted Beside Irri-
eating bitches.

Washington, April Representa-
tive Reeder, of kansas, has introduced
a. bill designed to further develop the
country where irrigation is necessary
to cultivation, and which will line the
arid prairies with trees, shrubs and
plants. and later with timber which
can be realized on with profit.
The measure authorizes the secre-
tarv of the interior to plant suitable
trees. shrubs and grasses, OF other
useful plants, along canals or bitches
and around reservoirs and other irri-
cation works, also on any waste lands
not needed for agricultural purposes,
and which may be directly or indi-
rectly watered by seepage or other
wise The money with which the ex-
pense of planting is to be met is to
come from the reclamation fund, a
proviso being added that the aggre-
gate shall not be more than the
amount which may be realized by a
charge, Of $3.50 per acre on lands irri-
gable under any particular project.
Mr.. Reeder stated that the selection
of trees and shrubs would be left to
the forest service. In few years, he
said. the people would be able to re-
alize a profit from the sale of these
trees and shrubs, which could be de-
Quoted from the cost of the original
irrigation project. The bill directs the
secretary of the interior, when the
timber shall be available, to sell it at
the highest obtainable price.

Outfelder who has played in the
Southern and Texas leagues, will

and Hurlburt says he is as fast as any
center fielder in the league. The
right fielder has not been chosen.
Hurlburt will have an interesting an

Joseph Zackert is a left-handed per

ing team without a hit or a run. Seay
has pitched in several minor leagues.
Pitcher Atkinson. of Las Vegas, N. NJ.
was released by Hurlburt, as he is too
light for the work
There is some doubt among the
fans said Hurlburt "as to whether
the Western association is faster than
the Western league. We were fast
enough last year to get ten of our
players into higher leagues. and that
was doing as well as the league. This
season the clubs will be faster than
ever, and if the fans, after seeing the
teams in this league do not take off
their hats to US, I'll miss my guess
