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 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 >$40, 100000. 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
retaining 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 a 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 a sod a foot
and more thick. 1t is comparative
~ 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 Ia worth four

Recently there nave been offered
evidences of general activity among
the anarchists Of the world. The at
tempt to- assassinate the king and
queen Of Spain on their wedding day
and the score OF deaths and many in
juries resulting from the bomb throw
Ing in this attempt; the open rejoic-
ing of anarchists in Paterson, N. J.,
over the Madrid assassination; the
arrest of Pole in Portland, Ore,
with the discovery of a plot to kill
President Roosevelt; in Rome the
police finding several bombs when
raiding meeting of anarchists.
AS there are socialists and social
lists, so 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 it's
French form by Proudhon in 1910, in
an essay entitled What Is Property?'
Since, the word has come into very
wide use. Some Of the theories it
designates are ancient 1.-THE best of
them formulated in definite language
by Proudhon and his personal fol

The International gives u.s. 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
individualism in thought as well as in
social activity. Next we have Proud
hons theory which he himself re-
garded as impracticable- ar
economic and social system whereof,
the individual should be free to pro.
duce what he pleased, get the full
product of his labor, and under nj
compulsion Of social regulation or Law

. OF late years the public has had o.
Tered 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
beginning has been made, a 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. 1--WE are feeding
now nearly 80,000,000 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 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 we'll settled re-
gions, market near at hand, trans
portation provided. And not only fol
utilization Of waste lands is it urged
the swamps be drained, but because
many Of them are such a menace to
health. In an article on PROCLAMATION

Bees Make Trouble,

Minneapolis-A swarm Of bees, get
ting into a freight car at the Mime
apolis transfer, caused the state rail-
road and warehouse commission con-
siderable difficulty.
j. P. Howard Of Hammond, Waba-
sha county, last Thursday shipped his
household goods, several head Of stock,
some bee hives and several hundred
bees, all loaded in one car, from that
place to Shell Lake, over the Milwau
kee road. Mr.. Howard, not hearing
from the consignment, called upon the
railroad and warehouse commissioners.
It was then discovered that the live.
stock sanitary board tried to inspect
the stock which was in the car, but
were prevented from dong so for three
days by the bees, which had broken
loose. AS a result, when the livestock
board could get in the car, the stock
was in such condition on account of
the bee activity, that they could not
be inspected.

Mankato-The Northwestern line
has sinkhole at a. point between JUDI
son and Cambria, where 100 feet Of the
tract suddenly dropped twenty-five
feet. A Waterman noticed the break
and tagged the night train before it
reached the place. A strange feature
of the occurrence is that only a short
time before the tract dropped, two
heavy freight trains passed over. It.
is believed that the qufcksand that
the tract was built on slipped into the
Minnesota river, which is close by. The
road has force Of men at work filling
the hole, and trains are making the
circuit on the old tract via st. Peter.

Water Causes Damage.

Mankato-Floods in the Minnesota
river, caused by the recent heavy rains
are doing considerable damage to tho
roadways. The river is wearing away
its banks just north Of st. Peter and
threatens to destroy the wagon road
leading to Ottawa and LIE Sueur. The
condition is considered so serious that
the Omaha road. which follows the
river, is sparing no expence in its
efforts to strengthen the banks at the
weak spots and prevent the further
encroachment of the waters.
A stretch of turnpike nearly half
mile in length is affected by the flood,
and as it lies within a few rods Of the
new st. Peter Ottawa short line Of the
Omaha, it is feared that the railroad
embanl1ment may be damaged.

Jonathan Bourne.

Jonathan Bourne is advertising for
votes in Benton county. He wants to
be United States Senator. 1t will be
very slim support that he will corral
among Benton Republicans. Their
recollection of Mr.. Bourne is that he
was the chief conspirator in concocting
a very expensive hold-up legislature,
seven or eight years ago. Because he
could not get majority of the repre-
sentatives to support him for speaker
OF the lower house, he formed COM
bination to prevent organization of that
body. Allied with influences hostile to
Mitchell, who was then candidate for
senator, he prevented the organization
OF the house, and through forty long
days there was the humiliating spec
tacle at Salem Of senate in session at
legislative horse-play, with members of
the lower house in hopeless and dis
graceful Differentiation It was the
most disgraceful episode in the history
OF the state, because revolutionary in
principle and anarchistic in execution
1t was a proceeding wholly indefensible
and completely objectionable In the
premises, Mr.. Bourne was more guilty
than the rest, because by reason OF his
money and his brains, more powerful.
He will get small comfort from Benton
Republicans, who are themselves order
ly, and therefore entirely unwilling to
honor man who has been as disorderly
as has Mr.. Bourne, In this race for
Senator his public record ought to be,
and is, his undoing Corvallis Gazette.
