tags was undsniably 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 p~re-eminently a domes-
tic woman. Her home and her stall
""art 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 INDUCES to the top of her
bent. Mr.. Gould is in fullest sympa-
thy with her in~clinations in this d.
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 great swamp areas are destin

at the hands Of the government. The
irrigation of desert lands has been
provided for; but no definite move has
been made as yet to convert the enor'

land into productive farm homes. The
other day a bill was introduced to pro.

A very comprehensive DILL mas beer
introduced in the House of Representa-
tives by Congressman Stevenson OF
Minnesota, who, If he can push his
measure to enactment into . law, will
be deserving Of the praise Of not only
this but future generations. His bill
is a 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 70 million of
which have been surveyed, the great
bulk Of which would make splendid
farms, II the excess OF water were
drained off.
The STEVENSON bill provides for the
beginning Of the work Of reclamation
of these huge areas. The measure is
framed after the irrigation law; it pro-
vides that the receipts from the sales
of public lands in the non-irrigation
states shall constitute a drainage
fund" to be expended by the Govern
ment in great drainage works, and
further, that the cost Of such drainage

for additional reclamation work.
Would Create Thousands Of Honest
This plan of developing the internai
resources of the country and making
homes Of waste places, is splendid In
its scope, and appears to be entirely
practicable and profitable. Take for
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 and
farm lands in the northwest except
that they are frequently overflowed. 1t
would be worth millions of dollars to
the farmers and settlers, who would
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.
The Stevenson bill places the en-.
tire management of the work in the
Service and the plan of
operation follows very closely the ir-
work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Department.
lands, coded Indian lands
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 drainage
provided for more than 100 acres, thus
lnsuring the division of the tracts into
small farms which must be actually
upon and titled.
Work Already in Progress,
This work the Reclamation Service
IS qualified to do at this very moment.
While primarily an engineering bureau
t has, in all its great irrigation pro-
ects, to deal directly with the farmer.
