tion, IS scarcely second in Importance
to the irrigation work. It means that
tens Of millions of acres of the most
fertile land imaginable, which has
lain idle for ages, may be converted
from dismal and pestilential swamps
and useless bogs unto highly prosper
Gus homes, to become the garden spots
of the nation.
The Dutch have reclaimed vast
areas in Holland from the encroach-
ments Of the ocean. Thousands of
families live and farm below sea level,
gaining their security by magnificent
feats of engineering and persistence.
They now contemplate the drainage Of
the Zuyder Zee, reclaiming some l.
100000 additional acres Of meadow
land American drainage in most
cases would be far more simple and
less expensive; it is simply a ques-
tion as to whether the nation will see
the wisdom of setting its hand to this
work.
Another Inland Empire.
In Florida the everglades alone-al-
most solid muck beds-would afford
an empire Of some Z million acres; in
swamps, among them the famous Dis
nal Swamp. In Illinois which is gen
orally regarded as a well settled agri-
cultural state. there are million acres
Of swamp land; in Michigan there are
nearly million acres. Fertile Iowa
has about . million acres Of swamp
land In Minnesota there are almost
8 million acres of rich surveyed swamp
lands and huge swamp areas not yet
surveyed. Arkansas has tremendous
swamp areas which could be drained
and made habitable and in all there
is a swamp area in the eastern half Of
the United States which is equal in eX-
tent to the great agricultural states
of Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, with
three or four smaller eastern states
thrown in.
II the Steenerson bill demonstrates
that the government can transform
The Breckenridge news., 1906-04-11

swamps into fertile farm land and
that the settler or owner will pay
back to the government the relatively
small cost Of the improvement, there
seems to be no reason why this work
OF creation of value out of worthless
waste, should not go on indefinitely
and provide homes for millions more
Of rural population.

much drainage as they are irrigation
projects. In the Klamath project, 1885,
900 acres, or more than half of the
area of the total project, is rich tule
land covered by eight or ten feet of
water, and is to be drained and con-
verted into over a thousand farms.
The topographic branch of the Geo
logical Survey, of which the Reclama-
tion Service is also a branch has al
ready run its lines over many of the
great swamp areas of the eastern
states and as soon as the Steenerson
bill becomes a law the Geological Sur
vey engineers will be ready to launch
out into immediate activity in drain
age projects.
Would Start with a Million Dollars.
The fund provided by the bill would
be small as compared with the irri-
cation fund-it would approximate
half million dollars year and would
start off with about $1,000,000, the re
ceipts from the sales for the fiscal
year 1905 being included-but on the
other hand the cost of drainage would
not be so great as that of irrigation.

FRENCH CHURCH RIOTS.
Many Injured in Clashes Over Execu-
ton of New Law.

AS n net result Of yesterdays rioting.
though the inventory was taken In OUT one
church, that of ST. Pierre-Groscailleu, over
fifty persons were severely injured ana
further considerable number slightly In
tured In Paris. The latter included a num-
Der of police and firemen, who were almost
blinded with cayenne pepper F1rty arrests
were made. The storming of the building
was greatly protracted owing to the use
by the defenders" of red pepper. After
repeated efforts the police and flremen only
succeeded In entering the church by en-
blowing chairs as shields. The first two who
got through the doors were knocked UNI
conscious. Those who followed, although
they were thoroughly exasperateds retralned
from violent retaliation.
NJ Louis Lepine, project OF PariS, ana
other high officials. and the newspapers OF
all shades of opinion. deprecate the violent
incidents. It is said that the clergy nave
done their best by advice to their congfe-
cations to remain calm. but without avail,
the militant Catholics being firmly resolved
to resist what they term the spoliation OF
the many Paris churches, containing many
millions Of francs worth of jewelry. mia-
tary medals and decorations given py de-
voices as thank offerings.
It is charged that the blame for the re-
cent conflicts attaches to the minister OF
the interior because Of his order That the
inventory of the churches should DO car
ried out before the regulations under The
separation law are definitely drawn up
This leaves the Catholics unconscious re-
garding the eventual fate of church prop
erty and their doubts on this subject have
brought about their resistance to the order
and its results. The authorities are de-
termined however. that the law shall take
its course and the disorders be suppressed
with the utmost vigor.
Twenty-Five hundred inventories already
have been made throughout France, many
without incident. but Paris contains sixty
nine Roman Catholic churches, of which
but half have been visited by the officials.
Proceedings will continue tomorrow, and in
order to prevent a renewal of the disturb
ances the authorities have kept secret the
hour at which the commissioners Will visit
the churches.
