WILL SPEND MILLIONS RECLAIMING DESERT SOIL

Great American Desert. His name is attached to many of the original maps of Arizonia, New Mexico and Califor- mia. The reports of his Investigations are valuable contributions to the knowledge of the arid country and its possibilities, and have been of espe- cial value in the preliminary work of the reclamation service.
 In 189S-1900 Mr Davis had charge of the Photographic work on the Nicaragua and Panama canal routes, and his reports furnished much need ed and important information con- cerning both plans. He joined the reclamation service immediately after the passage of the reclamation act, and since that time has taken part in all the engineering work connected herewith
 MT Davis is man of great indus try and is enthusiastic in developing efficient and businesslike methods in the operation of the service His characteristics are clear judgment and sound common sense, and these, combined with a thorough understand ing of the principles of engineering design, fit him for the responsible post to which he has been appointed His promotion meets with the un- qualified approval of all the engineers of the service, and is regarded by them as a reward for faithfulness and efficiency.

suggested that they write him fully on the subjects of their mission, and that he will reply by mail. But, curi- ously enough, even this method is not satisfactory to many of them.
 Recently one of the biggest sena- tors from the west stalked into Judge Ballinger's office while he was sur rounded by crowd of newspaper men.
 Come out to lunch with me-" some what confidently said the senator.
 It's not my lunch time yet, thank you" replied the commissioner
 Then I'll wait for you" said the senator.
 I'm afraid if you do you'll wait un- til about six o'clock, because I've got so much work piled up on my desk that I probably shan't be able to get away before that hour
 The senator then took his seat in the reception room and waited, with what patience he could command, his regular turn to talk to the comms- sioner, but when he did secure a con- ference he had to talk out loud and this made him go away angry-also empty handed.

A RTHUR POWELL DAVIS, the new 1A chief engineer of the reclamation service, will spend more than $1 1,000,- 000 month, employing more than 10000 men, in retaining 3,000,000 acres of desert land included in the 25 irrigation projects now under con- struction by the government He has just been selected for this re- sponsibility by Secretary Garfield of the interior department, on the reeom- mendation of Director Newell, whose assistant MT. Davis has been for the last few years in the vast work be- ing done to conserve the waters of the arid west. The appointment is a notable instance of the promotion for merit policy of the administration.
 MT. Davis was born in Illinois on February g, 1861. He was educated in the public schools of Junction City and Emporia, Kan, and later completed an engineering course in George Washington university. At the age of 23 he entered the United States Geological Survey as member of the topographic branch, and since then has been closely connected with the topographic, Photographic and engi- neering work of the government. His early work was in the west, where he spent several years in surveying reservoir sites in the high mountains and in measuring the streams of the

American Legation Stoned.

San Antonio, Tex, April.-A report from Mexico City says: "The most ex- treme indignation and wild excite ment have been caused here by the report that the American and Mexican legations in Guatemala City have been stoned by mob of several hundred men instigated to the act by agents of President Manuel Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala There is evidently strong inclination to give credence to the report and no official denial has been made, though the federal au- thorities refuse to cofirm it. "Mexi- can troops are being mobilized on the Guatemala frontier which is believed to be highly significant, though the War Department has stated that the mobilization of troops is nothing more than a move to insure strict neutral ity and to protect Mexican interests against any remote danger from ir- responsible, marauding bands.

THE most widely published and
 | best known photograph in exist ence is said to be that of President Roosevelt taking fence on his favor ite hunter This has been printed in almost every paper and magazine in the world which uses half-tones, and the sales from it have already amount ed to more than $40,O00, making it the most profitable photograph ever taken.
 Nearly 5000 copies have been signed by the president to be used as special gifts, and the demand for it wherever it has been placed on sale .shas been steady during the three and a half years since it was made. It was made with shutter that opened and closed in one fifteen-hundredth part of a second. The president, accompan- jed by an orderly, left the cabinet meeting one morning and joined the photographer at Chevy Chase in the suburbs of Washington. It was neces- sary for the president to force his horse over the fence dozen times be- fore successful picture was taken.
 President Roosevelt is probably the most photographed man in the world, with the possible exception of Elm peror William, and photographers as- Bert unreservedly that he is most diff 1icult to pose. He is nervous, and is often snapped in what might seem hit or miss style; but every picture

ASSOCIATION PRAISED
SECRETARY OF WAR TAFT COM, MENDS THE WORK OF THE
 Y. M. C. A.

Dayton, O., April-Secretary of War Taft delivered the principal ad- dress here Sunday at the laying of the cornerstone of the 2ew building of the Young Mems Christian Asso- ciation
 He also handled the trowel as the stone was lowered into it's place and smeared the mortar around like a master mason. His friends planned parade of civic societies before the laying of the cornerstone, but by the wish of the secretary this was dis pensed with. The secretary was giv- en flattering reception by throng of about 5000 After expressing appre- citation of his good fortune in being able to present on the occasion of the dedication of this great new building in your beautiful city to the high purposes of the Young Mems Christian Association" Secretary Taft said in part:
 "The great advantage of the ir- stitution is that, after long experience, it has come to be conducted on the most approved business principles, and while it furnishes, on the one hand, an opportunity for the contri- buttons of those who love their fel bowman, it furnishes, on the other, an example of assistance to those who need assistance which is not eXtrava- gant o rexcessive and which does not discourage self help by creating a spirit of dependence in those who en- joy the benefits which it offers.
 Another character of the associa- tion is it's nonsectarian religious qual- ity. It believes in the Christian re- liGion, is tolerant, liberal in it's scope and knows no denomination, no race, no politics.
 The truth is, the growth of the Young Mems Christian Association has been an evidence of. and at the same time an assistance to, the growth Of the spirit of Christian tol- erance among all denominations. We are all more tolerant today than formerly.
 For many reasons have I come to bear testimony to the greatest of the associations, whose strength and use fNlness of this beautiful building typi- fies. It is only one of many evidences to be found all over this country and far distant Philippines, on the isth- mus, in Cuba and in Porto Rico, of the great work which the association is doing in the moral elevation of American manhood"
