Recently there nave been offered
evidences of general activity among
the anarchists of the world. The at

queen of Spain on their wedding day
and the score of deaths and many in

over the Madrid assassination. the
arrest of Pole in Portland Ore,
with the discovery of plot to kill
President Roosevelt; in Rome the
police finding several bombs when
raiding meeting of anarchists.
AS there are socialists and social
fists, 50 are there anarchists and an
archists. Not all anarchists are
bomb throwers and assassins, nor be-
levers In these methods of bringing
about change in the social order. The
word anarchy was first used in its
an essay entitled What Is Property?'
Since, the word has come into very
wide use. Some of the theories 1t
designates are ancient-"the best of
them formulated in definite language
by Proudhon and his personal fol
lowers"
The International gives us four
definitions of anarchy, four different
groups of theories The first may be
called idealistic anarchy; and this the
theory. anarchy the result of absolute

cording to the well substantiated fig
ures of Shaler, the cost of reclamation
should not exceed one fifth the final
value of the land
The Yankee farmer has found out
that certain class of bog land can be
turned to profitable account in grow
ing the cranberry, but when considera-
ton is given the extent of our swamp
lands it 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 tillage. 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
$1,000 square miles of area The inun-
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
diyisible 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.

Writing on the sea-coast marshes or
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 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 a
value of not less than 5000 an acre.
AS the total reclaimable area between
New York and Portland (Me.) probably
exceeds 100000 acres, the money value
Of their best state will amount to at
least $i0,OO0,O00 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 we'll
skilled engineering direction in the
reclaiming of the marshes.
In Europe salt marshes are consid-
cred the most fertile of lands. For
many years past large areas in Dem
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 yege-
tation; others with heavy growth OF
grass, sometimes there is a 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 acre
of reclaimed salt marsh is worth four

Of late years the public has had Of
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 a 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
a 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 it stands to reason
this large portion of territory will
some day be coveted by our fast-in-
creasing population. eve are feeding
now nearly S0,000,000 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 recla amation.
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-
tance, generally these lands are To-
Gated in the midst of we'll settled re-
gions, market near at hand, trans
portation provided. And not only for
utilization of waste lands is it 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

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 aDan
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 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 7000,-
900 tillable acres. There are 100000
acres of swamp lands in Michigan, be-
tween 5000, 900 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 a flood of literature on the
subject Some years ago quite a good
deal was said, crusade started for the
reclamation of our salt marshes: their
value as farming lands emphasized,
and that in the existing state they
were a 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

States and Nesbit's Tidal Mars hes.

Skiing is to be one of the pas

the hill will be put in good condi-

zatlon was formed last winter
but very little was done along
the line Of fixing hills, etc. but
this winter there seems to be
renewed interest taken in the
matter and all are in for a good
