A very comprehensive bill has been
introduced In the House of Representa-
tives by Congressman Stevenson OF
Minnesota, who, II he can push his
Imsasure TO enactment into a law, Will
be deserving of the praise OF not only
this but future generations. His bill
Is q 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 or
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, If 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

THE BABY.
Story of How Two Women Struggled
for Ito Possession.

The tiny little infant who reposed
in the incubator at the st. Louis Fair
has, since the close Of that exposition,
attracted more attention b 1t did
during the entire time that it was the
object of interest of the sightseers.
At the close Of the Exposition, two
women sought possession of the child,
each claiming it to be her OWL Each
secured a writ giving her the custody
OF the child through DEGREES or diner
ent courts, but Mrs. Bleakley, who a
at first been awarded the care OF the
infant through the ruling of the law
at Moline, Illinois, took the law into
her own hands when the court at Law
renee. Kansas, decided against her.
According to his own story, Senator
Fred D. Smith, of Kinsley, played an
important role in the case when the
mother of the incubator baby" re-

fled from the back door and sought
refuge in a college fraternity house
nearby and begged the boys to help

the parents of one of the boys, a red
headed frat. youngster, were expect
ed to be on Santa Fe train No. 6 en-
route to Kansas City, and this boy

shall be pro-rated among the land
benefited and paid back by the settlers
into the fund" to be used over again
for additional reclamation work.
Would Create Thousands of HOmess
This plan of developing the Internal
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 reclatmd
through expensive private drainage
works. when they have become worth
800. and $3.50. an acre. Yet 1t 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 overlooked. 1t
would be worth millions of dollars to
the farmers and settlers, who would
occupy these lands in small tracts, to
have q 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
Reclamation Service and the plan OF
operation follows very closely the IT.
rigation work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Department.
Government 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
insuring the division of the tracts into
small farms which must be actually
settled upon and titled.
Drainage Work Already In Progress.
This work the Reclamation Service
is qualified to do at this very moment.
While primarily an engineering bureau
1t has, in all Its great irrigation pro
jects, to deal directly with the farmer.
1t must outline a comprehensive drain
age system for each irrigation project,

ter submitted the matter to him of how
to get Mrs. Bleakeley and the baby
across from the Santa Fe to the Rock
Island train, which might be late, with
out observation. The Sheriff prompt
ly overruled that plan and it was
agreed that Mrs. Bleakeley should re-
main in the Pullman drawing Dor
while in Kansas City, and go through
to the Sheriff's home town, where he
would put her on the train for Moline.
AS a precaution the Sheriff added

fruitless errand to Colorado, and placed
Mrs. Bleakeley under arrest, techni-
cally at least.

and baby went on without hindrance.
She stopped one night at the Sherifs
home, cared for by his wife, and on
Saturday was in Moline, under the pro-

simple, and yet was woven of some GU

carry through the escape and each play

part in the final success"
