vast swamps, among them the fa-
nous Dismal Swamp. In Illinois,
which is generally regarded as a
well-settled agricultural State,
there are 100000 acres of swamp
land; in Michigan there are near
ly 100000 acres. Fertile Iowa
has about 1000, 900 acres OF swamp
land. In Minnesota there are al
most 100000 acres of rich sur
veyed swamp lands and huge
swamp areas not yet surveyed.
Arkansas has tremendous swamp
areas which could be drained and
made habitable, and in all there is
a swamp area in the eastern half
of the United States which is
equal in extent to the great agri-
cultural States of Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa, with three or four
smaller eastern States thrown in.
If the Steenerson bill demon
strates that the government can
transform swamps into fertile
farm land and that the settler or
owner will pay back to the gov
ernment the relatively small cost
of the improvement, there seems
to be no reason why this work of
creation of value out of worthless
waste should not go on indefinite
ly and provide homes for millions
more of rural population.

armed citizens is benefactor to
the race. If Representative Steen-
erson, of Minnesota, can push the
swamp reclamation measure to en-
actment into law, he will be de-
serving of the praise of not only
this but future generations. His
bill is practical extension of the
old homestead idea, or rather, per-
haps, an application to the vast
areas of our swamp lands of the
idea embodied in the national irri-
CATION law.
There are in the neighborhood
of 100000 acres of swamp
lands in the United States, some
100000 of which have been
surveyed, and the great bulk
would make splendid farms, if the
excess of water were drained off.
The Steenerson bill provides for
the beginning of the work of rec
lamation of these huge areas. The
measure is framed after the irriga-
ton law; it provides that the re-
ceipts from the sales of public
lands in the nou-irrigation States
shall constitute drainage" " fund
to be expended by the govern
ment in ground drainage works,
and further, that the cost of such
drainage shall be prorated 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
HOMES.
This plan for developing the in
ternal resources of the country
and making homes of waste places,
is splendid in its scope, and ap-
pears to be entirely practicable
and profitable. Take for instance,
the single example of the swamp
lands of the Kankakee River ba-
sin in Indiana and Illinois. Here
are some 4oo,oo acres of the very
richest of bottom lands, but sub
ject to overflow. They are worth
less except where they have been
reclaimed through expensive pri-
vate drainage works. when they
have become worth $Ioo and 81 so
an acre. Yet it is estimated by
the government surveyors and en-
gineers 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 overhowed. 1t would
be worth millions of dollars to the
farmers and settlers who would
occupy these lands in small tracts,
to have perfect system of drain
age provided. These extensive
systems, however, especially
where they are interstate, seem to
be feasible for handling only by
the general government.
The Steenerson bill places the
entire management of the work in
the hands of the Reclamation Ser
vice and the plan of operation fol-
lows very closely the irrigation
work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Depart
ment. Government lands, ceded
Indian lands and private lands

TO FARM HE SWAMPS. "
Great Government Drainage Projects-En
largement Of the Old Homestead Idea.
BY GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

OFT MITCHELL.
| 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 Ser
vice is qualified to do at this very
moment. While primarily an en-
gineering bureau it has, in all its
great irrigation projects, to deal
directly with the farmers. 1t must
outline compr ehensive drainage
system for each irrigation project,
since there is as much danger from
too much irrigation as too little,
and to do this the service has its
own farm and soil experts. Some
of the irrigation projects have dis
tinctively drainage features, in
fact are almost as much drainage
as they are irrigation projects. In
the Klamath project $4,000 acres,
or more than half the area of the
total project, is rich tule land COW
cred by eight or ten feet of water,
and is to be drained and convert
ed into over thousand farms.
The topographic branch of the
Geological Survey, of which the
Reclamation Service is also
branch, has already run its lines
over many of the great areas of
the Eastern States, and as soon as
the Steenerson bill becomes law
the Geological Survey engineers
will be ready to launch out into
immediate activity in drainage
projects.
WOULD START WITH MILLION
DOLLARS.
The fund provided by the bill
would be small as compared with
the irrigation fund-it would ap-
proximate half million dollars
year and would start off with
about 81 900, 900, the receipts from
the sales for the fiscal year 1905
being included-but on the other
hand the cost of drainage would
not be so great as that of irriga-
tion.
The importance of this work of
wholesale drainage, in order to
provide homes for increased popu-
lation, is scarcely second in import
ance to the irrigation work. 1t
means that tens of millions of
acres of the most fertile land i'm
Unable, which has lain idle for
ages, may be converted from dis
NAL and pestilential swamps and
useless bogs into highly prosper
Gus homes, to become the garden
spot of the nation.
The Dutch have reclaimed vast
areas in Holland from the en-
croachments of the ocean. Thous-
ands of families live and farm be-
low sea level. gaining their secur-
ity by magnificent feats of engi-
neering and persistence. They
now contemplate the drainage of
Zuyder Zee, reclaiming some l.
10000 additional acres of mead
ow land. American drainage in
most cases would be far more sim
pie and less expensive; it is simp-
" question as to whether the
nation will see the wisdom of set
ting its hand to this work.

HONORS EVEN.
Kid Mcdonald and Young Dalls 60
Ten Rounds to Draw.

Tho bout between Kid Mcdonald OF
Boston and Young Dalls of Brunswick
was held last evening at the club rooms
of the Augusta Social and Athletic
Club. and was declared a draw at the
end of 10 rounds. Arthur Randall OF
this city acted as referee and Jack
O'Melia acted as timekeeper. lhere
were about 200 local sports present
with n goodly sprinkling from other
places.
II was a fast and scientific exhibi-
ton with plenty doing all the time ana
all present got their moneys worth OF
first class boxing.
Young Dalls excelled in clevernfsS'
doing some fine blocking throughout
the 10 rounds, and this was clearly
one of the features of the bout. NC
Donald was there all the time. he
kept Dalls busy to steer clear of him
and despite all he could do the latter
landed some very effective blows
Dalls on the other hand succeeded
i'm infiicting considerable punishment
on his opponent. and the latter fouhd
he had n man who was clearly in ms
class.
On the whole the bout was a very
satisfactory one and the general opin-
ion seemed to be that it could be call
ed nothing else than a draw
A four round preliminary between
George Gilbert of Augusta and ma
Currie of Gardiner resulted in a de-
cision for Gilbert. The bout was FAIR
ly interesting. but Gilbert was 100
strong for him and had the advantage
in all departments.
