HOW JAMES ]. HILL REBUKED
EXTRAVAGANCE.
The following from an article on
James J. Hill, in the April Every
body's," illustrates his almost fanatic
hatred of extravaganza
"His wealth grew rapidly for those
days, but his personal expenses were
kept down as rigidly as in the first
year of his married life, and in this he
had the active cooperation of his wife.
The importance he attached to this
cooperation is well illustrated by an
incident that occurred about this time.
One of his associates, George Acker,
who was secretary of the Northwest
ern Fuel Company, had married a
very beautiful woman, who according
to Mr.. Hills notion, was unduly ex-
travagant He protested to Acker,
and finding that this had no influence
in curbing Mrs. Acker, be went direct
to the wife herself.

DISCUSSION OF IRRIGATION.
Addresses Before Washington So
ciety of Engineers

Irrigation, with particular reference to
aid in cultivation of the fields. was dis
cussed last night at the weekly smoker of
the Washington society of Engineers in
their rooms, 720 9TH street. During the
discussion Arthur Z. Davis, chief engi-
neer of the reclamation service. stated
that as much water is used in general in
irrigating a farm as would be used by Il
city built on the same area. For instance
If Washington were an irrigated farm, it
would require in general as much water
to irrigate 1t as he city now uses.
r. p. Teele, chief of the irrigation bu-
reau of the Department of Agriculture
was the chief speaker of the evening, and
his remarks covered the general field of
the Department. Investigations. In gen
eral, he stated, only about one-third of the
water actually diverted for the purposes
of irrigation Is actually used on the land; /;
and the reduction of the two-thirds now
remaining is the problem for the irriga-
ton engineers now to take up. Only about
one-half Of the water reaches the fields,
the loss being due to leakage through the
ground and by evaporation. About one
eighth more Is lost in evaporation in the
fields and still more Is lost by careless
use.
To preserve the water one of the first
problems taken up was that of lining the
big Irrigation bitches. Various substances
We're used in experiments made by the
department. and ii was found that con-
crete saves So per cent. cement about 20
per cent and crude OIL about 80 per cent.
AS crude oil is only Cne-sixth as expensive
as the cement lining, 1t has received ia
vorab.e consideration.
In another way to save the water. the
department. the speaker stated, has made
a study OF crop requirements and advises
the use of only the amount of water re-
quired by each specific crop.
The most important work of the bureau
he said, is the dissemination of knowledge
as to how to use water in irrigation. The
department has issued crop manuals for
the use of new settlers and aids them also
by personal advice and demonstrations.
The irrigation extension Is also another
feature of the department work. he
stated. This includes the furnishing OF
water to land where droughts come once
in while. Experimental farms in Wyo-
ming. Colorado and Texas have been es-
tabltshed and the results are being watch
when rain fails for long intervals. in
stead OF using the land only for grazing
or for dry crops.
The annual election of officers Of the
Washington Society of Engineers will oc-
cur the third Tuesday in December. and
President Newell VAS appointed a nomi-
mating committee, with w A. Mcfarland,
superintendent OF the WatEr works. a s the
chairman. II is expected that they Will
report the nominations in a short time.
