MAMMOTH SCOPE OF
IRRIGATION PROJECT
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April g.
The part to be played by the vast
irrigation projects which the United
States government now has under
construction in western states, in
adding to the productiveness of that
region, and stimula ting the new
commerce which is already begin
ming to develop with the orient,
now is commencing to attract the
attention of those who are interest
ed in the nations business welfare.
Within the next three months the
government will be ready to invite
settlers to take up the first of its
reclaimed lands. 1t is less than four
years since congress passed the re-
clamation act, and the vast labor Of
retaining the desert on a large
scale has but just begun.
The engineers modestly report
that they have constructed II miles
of main canal, "a miles of distribut-
ing canal, and 1876 miles of bitches.
In connection with these there have
been built the dams, headworks,
etc, necessary to control the flow;
three and a half miles of tunnel
have been driven through the rock.
126 miles Of wagon road with 147
bridges have been built.
In the performance of the above
rock and earth has been excavated
to the amount of s9,S5O,OOO cubic
yards; concrete has been laid to
the amour. of 10000 cubic yards:
riprap has been laid to the amount
OF 10000 cubic yards; paving has
been laid to the amount of 10000
square feet and into the works
have gone 10000 linear feet of Dill.

SHANGHAI, China, April 8. -
The American boycott broke out in
the spring of 1906. 1t was inaugu-
rated by the Chinese guilds.
Every business in China is organ
lied into a guild, and these guilds,
especially when they unite, are
quite as powerful in the exercise
of practical control over the people
AS is the general government. They
can give our American workmen,
and possibly even our American
trusts, points in the organization
and control of the people.
The guilds were aroused to ac-
ton by what may be styled young
China" and especially by the Chi
nese newspapers. China was the
first nation to discover the news
paper as she was the first nation to
discover the mariners compass,
gunpowder, etc. But until the last
three or four years China has made
no more use Of the press than she
made of gunpowder.
Four years ago there were three
newspapers published in Tientsin,
the great northern metropolis of
the empire; now there are 20. The
first class volume, entitled New
Forces in Old China" by DR.. Brown
OF the Presbyterian board Of mis-.
sions, announced in 1904 that China
was making immense progress in
postoffices, and that 500 Offices
were in operation, as compared
with 200 only two or three years
previously.
But today there are over 1900
postoffices in China. The return of
young Chinese from America, and,
above all, the publication in the
newspapers of the facts which these
young men gave of their treatment
by Americans, awakened in 1905
the first manifestation of national
sentiment In this great empire and
led to the organization of the boy
colt.
The boycott at first threatened to
be very serious. The triennial ed
ucation conference for China was
il session at Shanghai at the time
of the outbreak, and l was asked to
preside at meeting of the Ameri-
cans then assembled in Shanghai
from almost every province in the
empire. An excellent committee
was appointed with such men as
DR.. Arthur Smith and Robt. E. Lew.
Is, of the Y. M. G. A., upon it, and
representations were made to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The presidents
prompt and vigorous action, first,
in checking any further abuses of
Chinese in American ports, and fur
ther In representations made to the
Chinese government, did much to
check the spread of the boycott.
The friendship of the Chinese for
our missionaries and the fact that
the missionaries constitute three
fourths of all the foreigners in the
provinces outside of the sea ports
has done far more to prevent the
boycott spreading to the interior
and leading to violence than all
other efforts combined.
AS the missionaries met at their
summer conferences for rest and
mutual aid last summer, the boy
colt was earnestly discussed and
its possibilities of injury clearly
recognized. Fortunately, however,
very few schools and hospitals

have suffered to any appreciable
extent. Indeed most of the schools
and colleges received far more ap-
plicants for admission last fall than
they could grant, and for lack of
room students were turned away
from the leading Christian colleges
of China.
The real demand upon the part
of the Chinese also for western
goods and their preference in many
cases for American goods rather
than the goods Of Germany or Eng
land, has prevented the commercial
boycott becoming as serious as was
at first threatened.
The possibilities of the boycott,
however, are fully realized by
Americans, and even indeed over
estimated by the Chinese. Through
their guild organizations, they can
use this instrument of retaliation
more effectively than any nation in
Europe or America. There is no
power by which the Chinese gov
eminent can compel her citizens to
buy our goods, and all that our
government can insist upon is an
equal right to introduce the goods
and expose them for sale alongside
other goods.
If our government is wise, It will
utilize the present occasion, when
the boycott Is largely suspended
and favor has been turned to Amer
lea by the conduct of Consul Gen.
eral Rodgers in the Shanghai riot,
to substitute for an exclusion act,
mentioning the Chinese by name, a
general exclusion law based upon
failure to read and write with In.
teIIisence the language of ones ma
tive country, and thus insure the
favor and secure the trade of Chi.
mas 4oo,ooo,ooo.
Already the trade of this coast
from Singapore to Vladivostock
amounts to a billion dollars a year.
The United States must have world
markets. In the struggle for the
markets OF this great empire the
United States has the advantage in
position OF any other nation on
earth. She has undoubtedly en-
Joyed greater favor with China in
the past than any Of her competi-
tors. She can exclude every Chi
nese coolie from the United States
by a general law based upon educa-
ton.
Would 1t not be wise, therefore,
for the government to pass an ex-
clusion law, the justice and states
manshtp Of which will commend it
to future generations, and will en-
able America to win and hold the
immense trade bound to arise on
this side of the Pacific during the
next 80 years?

received recognition from the Gen.

the questions which have vexed To-

held by committees representing
the two teamsters' unions and the
organization committee of the cen

arrived at whereby all team owners
would go into local No. 101, and all
team drivers into teamsters' union

Christmas Tree Accidents

Accidents will happen, even at Christ
mas time, and one should be prepared
to meet them promptly.
One Of the most frequent accidents
that occur on Christmas is the burning
either Of the tree Or Of the clothing Of
persons near BY. A long stick with q
sponge tied on the end, and several pals
q water should be in every room where
there Is lighted Christmas tree; the
wet sponge will very quickly extinguish
the fire in the part OF the tree that has
caught fire and also the nearby candles.
II the clothing should catch fire the
person should be made to lie down on
the floor and rug or blanket be quick
ly wrapped around him in order to
smother the flames. On no account
should he rush around or get into
draft as IT only fans the flames.
