A. o. Douglas somewhat, neither OF the

The theory advanced by the defense
was that the blows could have been ad-
ministered after death. and the line Of
questioning indicated contention that
the girl in drowning rose 10 the surface
OF the water three times. and each time
struck the overturned skin and received

the fifteen States and Territories lying
almost wholly in the great arid region
exclusive of California, Comprising

the fifteen States and Territories lying
almost wholly in the great arid region
exclusive OF California, comprising
territory of 1,508, 21O square miles, We
have to note the following statistics:
The population with this territory num-
bered in 1900, 8,771, 269; the acreage OF
farms was 300, $3.50, Gas. OF these farms
1OO,956,487 acres are already improved.
The value of the farms in 1900 was
81, 006, 1O8282. The value Of agricul-
tural products for 1900 was estimated
to be S947 ,9O7, 1O4. OF the farm lands
$500, 1888 acres are under irrigation. In
addition to this, the mining products
add $16O,OOO,OOO to the growing wealth
of the country. But, more marvellous
than all this, Is the rapid growth IN
railroad extension throughout this ter
ritory. The mileage of railroads had
already reached in 1900 the enormous
figure of 5O,71296 miles. There are not
less than six great transcOntinental
lines running through the territory, ana
there soon will be several more. Short
lines are extending In every direction
into fertile valleys, and to mines ana
cattle ranges, opening up the territory
and furnishing means Of serving In
creasing population"

Conquest :! d. Great
American Desert

Frank w. Blackmar, professor of eco
contributes to the North American Re-
view very interesting article in which
he recounts the history of THE Mas
terry of the Desert" For many years
the theory was universally accepted
that a great American desert stretched
over boundless wastes in the interior Of
the continent, and that vast regions
within the confines Of the United
States were not habitable by man. As
time went on, however, and through the
exploration OF the pioneers, the char
acter Of the country was gradually
made known, the dimensions OF the sup
posed desert steadily shrank from dec
ade to decade. Professor Blackmar
shows how this process was reflected in
the books and maps relating to the
United States which were. published
from time to time. He describes the
prosperous conditions which American
enterprise and energy have created In
a section of the country which was at
one time regarded as a second Sahara !:
But let US see what has been ac-
complished already In this arid region
Of Major Powelrs. Let us observe to
what extent the real desert has been
conquered. Leaving out OF considera-

his mien in the eyes Of some, and the
Out-of-date bicycle he rides and the
manner in which he strides the steel
steed lends a further appearance OF
stiffness to his personality. Garfields
bicycle was probably built four or five
years ago, anu he rides with the handle
bars high up and his back as vertical
as the Washington monument. He was
never known to "scorch," and probably
could not IL he wanted to, on account
of his position on the wheel.
The exercise that Mr.. Garfield likes
most is tennis. He can be found two or
three afternoons week hard at the
game either on the White House court or
OH lawn In the northwestern part of
town, and those who have occasion to
try conclusions with him declare him
a first-class player. President Roose-
welt likes him either as partner or an
opponent at tennis, and they often dis
cuss the most important matters re-
lating to the business Of. the bureau
which Mr.. Garfield has managed since
Its foundation as branch of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
At home Mr.. Garfield frequently
plays baseball with his boys, and re-
Gently Mrs. Garfield has become q. most
enthusiastic advocate of the game.
Both Mr.. aud Mrs. Garfield devote
great deal Of attention to the athletic
training of their children, and enter
with them into all their outdoor
sports. They frequently take eight and
ten-mile walks in the afternoon. and
when they reach home they are as
fresh and buoyant as though they had
been only around the block.
