of their best state will amount to at
least $40,000000. The cost OF reclaim
Ing these lands and reducing them to
cultivation should not exceed the fifth
Of this sum-"
Shaler spoke Of the need for well
skilled engineering direction in the
retaining of the marshes, and that It
was to be regretted the experiments
had not been directed by some one
trained In the work-as in the very
successful work on the northern shores
of Europe.
In Europe salt marshes are consid-
cred the most fertile of lands. For
many years past large areas in Den
mark, Belgium and Holland have been
under cultivation. The Fens in Eng
land have been diked and ditched and
about million acres of matchless fer
tility been reclaimed.
There are many kinds Of salt marsh
es; some bare mud flats without vege-.
tation; others with heavy growth Of
grass, sometimes there is sod foot
and more thick. 1t is a comparative
ly slow process to get the salt lands
rid of water and saltiness, but in those
cases where proper precautions have
been taken, sufficient time and labor
allowed, the lands have given good
returns. The author of the circular
says it is generally conceded one acrv5
of reclaimed salt marsh Is worth four
or five acres Of upland, and that &C.
cording to the well substantiated fig
ures of Shaler, the cost Of reclamation
should not exceed one-fifth the final
value Of the land.

OF late years the public has had o.
fered no little information regarding
the watering Of dry lands to make the
desert bloom; and now there are signs
public attention Is to be called to the
draining Of swamp lands and the
Transforming Of these waste places.
Recently bill was introduced In
congress for the reclamation of swamp
lands under a system similar to that
adopted for the reclamation Of the
deserts in the southwest. AS yet only
beginning has been made, begin
ming that probably will some day lead
to legislative action.
The total area Of our swamp lands
Is impressive, and 1t stands to reason
this large portion Of territory will
some day be coveted by our fast-in-
creasing population. 1--WE are feeding
now nearly 100000 of people within
the boundaries OF our own country and
sending enough material abroad to
clothe and feed an almost equal num-
ber" And when one considers the ad-
vantages offered by the swamp lands
one wonders why experiments have not
sooner been made in their reclamation.
Authorities tell us swamp lands can
be reclaimed as cheaply as arid lands.
Once drained, swamp land Is drained
for good. Drained lands are more fer
tile than the average agricultural soil,
require little or no artificial fertiliz-
ing. And, what is Of decided impor-
lance, generally these lands are To-
Gated in the midst of well settled re-
gions, market near at hand, trans
portation provided. And not only for
utilization Of waste lands is 1t urged
the swamps be drained, but because
many of them are such menace to
health. In an article on Reclamation
of Salt Marsh Lands" in the circular

CHANCE TO BUY BONDS.
CANAL LOAN is TO BE SOLD TO
THE PUBLIC AT ONCE.

Washington, July 8. -- Secretary
Shaw offered to the public $50, 100000
bonds Of the Panama canal loan, au-
thorized by the recent act of con.
gress. The bonds will bear ltarest
at the tate of per cent, will be dated
August /, 1906, and interest will be
payable quarterly. They will be re-
deemable at the pleasure of the gov
eminent after ten years from date
Of issue and will be payable thirty
years from date.
The bonds will be exempt from
taxes or duties Of the United States
and will be available to national
banks as security for circulation. The
bonds will not be sold for less than
par. All citizens will have equal
opportunity to subscribe for them and
the bids must be submitted to the
department on or before July 20,
1906.
In a speech made public Secretary
Shaw says:
I'm considering the bids the bid,
ders offering the highest prices will
receive the first allotment. OF two
or more bidders Offering the same
price those asking for the smaller
amount of bonds will receive priority
in allotment. The department re-
serves the right to permit bidders Of
fering the highest price to increase
the amount of their purchase. The
department also reserves the right to
reject any or all bids if deemed to
the interest of the United States to
do so. The bonds will be ready for
delivery about August 1, 1906.
Prospective bidders desiring in
formation not contained in this cir
cular may address the secretary of
the treasury, division of loans and
currency, Washington; the assistant
treasurers at Chicago, st. Louis, New
Orleans or San Francisco.

culture. attention Is called to the fact
that marshes and stagnant pools are
the principal breeding places of mos
quitoes. Science has shown that mos
quitoes are the most common, If not
the only means of conveying malarial
germs and introducing these germs
into the human system; and that mos
quitoes are the only proved cause of
the infection of yellow fever. In Italy
vast areas of land have been aban-
doned because of the mosquito pest.
While our salt marshes do not seem
to present the conditions necessary for
the breeding of the species of malaria
mosquitoes in this country, they are
breeding places for immense numbers
of other mosquitoes that prove a pest
to persons and to stock, in some cases
so troublesome they lower the valua-
ton of the land.
Engineers believe the everglades OF
Florida can be drained, and here
would be added to our rich lands 7,000,-
900 tillable acres. There are 5,OOO,00o
acres of swamp lands in Michigan, be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres in
Minnesota, 100000 in Wisconsin. In
New Jersey and Virginia there are
large areas. Salt marshes are promi-
nent features of nearly all the states
bordering the Atlantic and Pacific.
In preparing this article we have
found it difficult to get any very recent
writings on the subject of the reclaim
ing OF the swamps, but are looking
shortly for flood of literature on the
subject. Some years ago quite a good
deal was said, a crusade started for the
reclamation of our salt marshes; their
value as farming lands emphasized,
and that in the existing state they
were serious menace to the health OF
the people living in their vicinity
Notable among the government re-
ports issued at the time was Shaler's
"Sea-C Coast Marshes of the United
States" and Nesbit's "Tidal Marshes"
Writing on the sea-coast marshes of
the eastern part of the country, shaler
said: THE great advantage of the
northern marsh areas is found in the
fact that they generally are near the
large centers of population OF the
country, where they will have a high
value as market garden soils or fields
for the raising Of hay. When brought
into their best state such areas will,
measured by the price Of other lands
In the same neighborhood, have
value OF not less than 5000 an acre.

lands 1t would seem nothing has been,
done in the developing of the possi-
bilities that lie therein. Shaler, writ
ing in Science in 1886, argues for the
utilization Of our swamps and gives
information in regard to the various
classes of swamps in the United States.
These neglected districts are of great
extent and very varied nature. They
consist, in part, of land which is some
what less fertile than the best soils,
but which In every other respect Is fit
for tillageA >. A preliminary
study of the field has shown the re-
markable fact that we have left un-
touched In the region east of the Mis-
sissippi districts of easily drained
swamp lands amounting to more than
$4,000 square miles Of area. The mum
dated lands Of the lower Mississippi
remain In the state in which they were
when first seen by men, while similar
areas in England were long ago won to
the state Of the most fertile fields Of
that country.
Our American inundated lands are
divisible into several classes, deter
mined by the condition of their origin.
OF these the most important are the
tide water marshes, the lacustrine
swamps of the glaciated district, the
delta swamps Of the Mississippi, and
the class of wet lands or upland
swamps where the marshy condition
is due to the action Of plant In retain
ing water under the surfaces Of con-
siderable districts.
Preliminary studies Of the great
area OF fresh water marshes, extend
ing from the mouth Of the James river
south to Albemarle sound, show that
in that district this class Of marshes
covers an area Of about 1000 square
miles, This class OF marshes
can easily and cheaply be drained and.
when so improved, they afford exceed
ingly rich soils. Along the outer mar
gin OF these vast morasses. some hun-
dred thousands acres have been won
to culture. These lands are remark
ably fertile 1t seems likely that Of
these easily reclaimed upland morasa-
es. resembling the Dismal Swamp.
there Is q total area In the southern
states Of not less than $4,000 square
miles. In the northern states the area
of, improbable swamp land Is less ex-
tensive, but there is not a state 10 X
which they do not constitute an Inn

twice. He lived on a farm with Nina
16 years of age, daughter of his first
wife. Mrs. Montgomery, the second
wife. was about 25 years of age. She
was a school teacher, who, just prior

Warrens. Her school closed May 30,
and her husband, the defendant, on
that day drove to Warrens, left his
