\ very comprehensive ILL has been
introduced in the House Of RepFesenta-
tives by Congressman SteenersoH Of
Minnesota. who, if he can push his
measure to enactment into a law, Will
be deserving of the praise OF not only
this but future generations. His bill
is practical extension Of the old
homestead idea, or rather, perhaps. an
application, to the vast areas OF our
swamp lands, OF the idea embodied in
the national irrigation law.
There are in the neighborhood OF
100 million acres of swamp lands in
the United States, some 20 million Of
which have been surveyed, the great
bulk of which would make splendid
farms, if the excess of water were
drained off.
The Steenerson bill provides for the
beginning of the work. of reclamation
of these huge areas. The measure is
framed after the irrigation law; pro-
vides that the receipts from the sales
of public lands in the non-irrigation
states shall constitutes a drainage
fund" to be expended by the Govern
ment in great drainage works, and
further that the cost of such drainage

tage was undeniaLiy suitable for an
alliance with the chief heir of one Of
the wealthiest men of the day. Per-
sonally she was the embodiment of a
beautiful, gracious, vivacious, we'll
bred and mentally lowered American
girl.
Ideal is a hackneyed and greatly
abused word, but it is the only one
that aptly and satisfactorily describes
the life and companionship of the
Goulds in the two decades that have
elapsed since they stood at the altar.
Mrs. Gould is pre-eminently a domes-
tic woman. Her home and her stall
wart boys and handsome, sprightly
girls are her first consideration, in
common with her husband.
Regardless of their great wealth,
the Goulds live their lives simply. Mrs.
Gould has artistic tastes developed and
cultivated along rational lines, and
these she indulges to the top of her
bent. Mr.. Gould is in fullest sympa-
thy with her inclinations in this di-
rection and shares them with her.
Probably there are nowhere persons of
their means who are less in the public
prints than the Goulds. Mrs. Gould
cares little for society, as most per
sons accept the term, but is found OF
entertaining the congenial men and
women who compose their set.

THE INCUBATOR BABY.
Story of How TWO Women Struggled
for Its Possession.

The tiny little infant who reposed
in the incubator at the st. Louis Fair
has. since the close of that exposition,
attracted more attention than 1t did
during the entire time that it was the
object of interest of the sightseers.
At the close of the Exposition, two
women sought possession of the child,
each claiming it to be her own. Each
secured a writ giving her the custody
of the child through decreeS of difier-
ent courts, but Mrs. Blealtley, who had
at first been awarded the care of the
infant through the ruling of the law
at Moline, Illinois, took the law into
her own hands when the court at Law
renee, Kansas, decided against her.
According to his own story. Senator
Fred d. Smith of Kinsley, played an
important role in the case when the
mother of the incubator baby" re-
Gently disappeared suddenly with the
baby from Lawrence.
"When Mrs. Bleakley left the court
room at Lawrence after the decision

to her mothers house she was nearly
frantic. In mere desperation she
fled from the back door and sought
refuge in a college fraternity house
nearby and begged the boys to help
her. 1t was then nearly O'Clock, ana

headed frat. youngster, were expect

Would Create Thousands OF Honest
This plan of developing the Internal
resources OF the country and making
homes of waste places, is splendid IN
its scope. and appears to be entlrely
practicable and profitable Take Tor
instance, the single example of the
swamp lands of the Kankakee River
basin in Indiana and Illinois. Here
are some 400 thousand acres of the
very richest of bottom lands, but sub
ject to overflow. They are worthless
except where they have been reclaimd
through expensive private drainage
works. when they have become worth
500. and $3.50. an acre. Yet it is es-
timated by the government surveyors
and engineers that the entire system
could be effectively drained at a cost
in the neighborhood of $40. an acre.
The same can be said of the lands of
the Red River Valley in Minnesota.
These include the finest grain AMI
farm lands in the northwest eNceIt
that they are frequently overtlowed. 1t
would be worth millions of dollars 10
the farmers and settlers, VINO Wou
occupy these lands in small tracts, to
have a perfect system Of drainage pro-
vided. These extensive systems, how
ever especially where they are inter
state, seem to be feasible for handling
only by the general government
Tho Steenerson bill places the e.
tire management of the work in I. e
Reclamation Service and the plan o.
operation follows very closely the t.
rigation work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Department.
Government lands, ceded Indian Ian
and private lands may be included in
any drainage project, but in each case
the cost of the drainage improvement
is to be borne by the owner of the
land and no settler can have drainare
provided for more than 1fO acres. thrs

small farms which must be actuallT

ter submitted the matter to him of how
to get Mrs. Bleakeley and the baby
across from the Santa Fe to the Rock

ly overruled that plan and it was
agreed that Mrs. Bleakeley should re-

while in Kansas City, and go through
to the Sheriff's home town, where he
would put her on the train for Moline.
AS precaution the Sheriff added

Mrs. Bleakeley under arrest, techni-
cally at least.
