the fifteen States and Territories lying
almost wholly in the great arid region,
exclusive of California, comprising a
territory of 1,50S,21O square miles, we
have to note the following statistics
The population with this territory num-
bered in 1900, S,771 ,269; the acreage of
farms was 30O,3S0,645. OF these farms,
10O,956,4 S7 acres are already improved.
The value of the farms in 1900 was
$4,000, 1OS2S2. The value of agricul-
tural products for 1900 was estimated
to be $947 ,9O7, 1O4. OF the farm lands,
6,566, 73S acres are under irrigation. In
addition to this, the mining products
add $16O,000,0O0 TO the growing wealth
of the country. But more marvellous
than all this, is the rapid growth in
railroad extension throughout this ter
ritory. The mileage of railroads had
already reached in 1900 the enormous
figure Of 50,712.96 miles. There are not
less than six great transcontinental
lines running through the territory, and
there soon will be several more. Short
lines are extending in every direction
into fertile valleys, and to mines and
cattle ranges, opening up the territory
and furnishing means of serving In
creasing population"

out-of- date bicycle he rides and the
manner in which he strides the steel
steed lends q further appearance OF
stiffness to his personality. Garfield's
bicycle was probably built four or five
years ago, and he rides with the handle
bars high up and his back as vertical
as the Washington monument. He was
never known to ''scorch,' and probably
could not if he wanted to, on account
of his position on the wheel.
The exercise that Mr.. Garfield likes
most is tennis. He can be found two or
three afternoons a week hard at the
game either on the White House court or
on a lawn in the northwestern part of
town, and those who have occasion to
try conclusions with him declare him
tirst-class player. President Roose-
Welt likes him either as partner or an
opponent at tennis, and they often dis
cuss the most important matters re-

which Mr. Garfield has managed since
its foundation as branch of the De-

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Garfield devote a
great deal Of attention to the athletic
training of their children, and enter

sports. They frequently take eight and
ten-mile walks in the afternoon, and
when they reach home they are as
fresh and buoyant as though they had
been only around the block.

father, the late President Garfield, was

Conquest .! ne Great
American Desert


Frank w. Blackmar, professor OF eco
Monies in the University of Kansas,
contributes to the North American Re
view very interesting article in which
he recounts the history Of The Mas
terry of the Desert" For many years
the theory was universally accepted
that a great American desert stretched
over boundless wastes in the interior of
the continent, and that vast regions
within the confines Of the United
States were not habitable by man. AS
time went on, however, and through the
exploration of the pioneers, the char
acter of the country was gradually
made known, the dimensions of the sup
posed desert steadily shrank from dec
ade to decade. Professor Blackmar
shows how this process was reflected in
the books and maps relating to the
United States which were published
from time to time. He describes the
prosperous conditions which American
enterprise and energy have created in
a section of the country which was at
one time regarded as a second Sahara :
But let US see what has been &C
complished already in this arid region
of Major Powells. Let US observe to
what extent the real desert has been
conquered Leaving out of considera-
ton the great States of Missouri, Iowa,
Minnesota and Arkansas, comprising a
territory nearly all Of which was once
considered valueless, with a population
of over 100000, and considering only

them or by immediate suspensions
of the orders by judges or I'M
