~ 0AAdSS VI SWdmp ILLUS III
Minnesota continues for the next
ten years at the rate which it will
prevail for the coming two years,
every acre of the 10000, 900 acres
Of such lands will be drained,
and the value raised from pure
ly speculative one of $4,000, 600
at present, to an actual worth of
$5oo,0o0,0oo.
On the same basis, the 1900
600 acres Of swamp lands in ST.
Louis and Itasca counties will in
crease in worth from $7,5OO,OOO
to SIS, ,0o0,0
This is the statement of
George 81. Ralph of Crookston,
state engineer of the drainage
commission for several years
past, and man who today was
reelected to the position at a sar-
ary advanced from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year. The meeting of
the drainage commission was in
formal and the election of Ralph
the only business transacted.
But. another meeting is to be
held Tuesday at which the work
OF the past year will be reviewed
and plans discussed for cam
paign of state drainage such as
has never been undertaken be-
fore. Mr.. Ralph has heretofore
been devoting but, part of his
time to state work. Under the
new arrangement, he will have
an Office in either the old or the
new capitol, and devote his en-
tire time to the state.
Mr.. Ralph is perhaps the best
posted man to be found on the
subject Of state swamp lands
and their drainage, in view of
the fact that this subject has
been his to investigate for years
past as a business proposition.
''There is a revival started of
land drainage, such as has never
been known BEFORE" said Mr..
Ralph in an interview today.
"This applies to state lands, to
county drainage, and to work
for the benefit Of private proper
ty. Individual counties are go
ing into drainage as never be-
fore, with a belief that no other
investment will yield such good
returns. Clay county has nearly
100000 worth of bitches. Will
kin, Otter Tail, Stearns, Aitkin,
hanQlyOnl, ana Other counties
are arranging to drain their
swamp lands on a scale hereto
fore unheard of in Minnesota.
At a conservative estimate, I
would say at least $1,000,0OO will
be invested in drainage for each
Of the coming two years, and
practically all Of it in Northern
Minnesota. ("
State and private lands will
both be benefited by the passage
of the recent state drainage law.
This law appropriates 500, 900
for each of the coming two years.

ready built, including the Patrie.
While the general type will remain
the same, the object Is to make i'm
provements in detail in each Of the
series of five airships as they ara con-
structed. As to the first five airships
Of the fleet they will be distributed
among the principal fortified posts
in the centre and eastern frontier re-
gions. Among these will be the forts
Of Belfo1t, Verdun, Toul, Besancon
and the camp at Chalons. The work
of erecting the sheds which are to
house them has already commenced.
For some time past the war depart
ment has been paying special atten-
ton to the subject Of training the
aerostatic corps so that it will be able
to handle the airshipS with certainty.
For this purpose one Of the air
ships is stationed permanently at the
Cl}alais- -Meudon establishment and
the drills are constantly being carried
out. It. appears that the new aeros-
tatic corps is to be composed of no
less than forty-eight officers of the
military engineer corps and ninety
two regular army officers, who are
chosen for their competence in aerial
navigation work and their experience
in mechanical engineering. Not long
since the airship Patrie made series
of flights from Meudon TO Paris and
return. with the object Of drilling the
crews in actual flight, which is right
ly estimated as one Of the most i'm
portant parts Of the work. One of
these. ON the Sth Of July, was the
fourth flight which the Patrie made
during the season. Starting at 7.5O
o'clock a. m., it made some evolutions
about the Chalais grounds, then start
ed for Paris, mounted by Command
and Bouttiaux. Capt. Voyes and 9TH
er officers Of the aeronautic corps.
After passing over the suburbs and
entering Paris it made several cir
cults above quarters at 90. The total
distance. thirty-four miles, was cover
ed in / hour and 20 minutes at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour, and
this is a remarkable result, seeing
that the airship had to struggle
against west wind blowing at con-
siderable speed. Another flight was
made over the city on July II, IN
cluding a wide circuit through the re-
gion, lasting fer nearly two hours. 1t
was quite successful, and the same
speed was made. The landing can be
carried out with ease, in spite Of the
fact that the station at Meuoon IS

if the job require his attention he
might tackle it. but he seems assured
Of another term in the lower house
without opposition and is not likely
to surrender that for the uncertainty.
Gov. Ansel is also sure OF another
term and his ambition is not as much
in the direction Of the national con-
gress as the bench; he would prob
ably prefer to be chief justice than to
be senator. Messrs. Hayward, Hemp
hill and Mccullough have other things
to think about than politics.
In the race in 1902 there were, be-
sides Latimer and Henderson, the fol-
lowing: Ex-Gov John Gary Evans,
whose political ambitions are un-
quenched by successive defeats; the
Hon. John J. Hemphill, who has
since disappeared from public life
altogether: Col. William Elliott, who
is now engaged, under appointment
from President Roosevelt, in tracing
the graves Of the Confederate dead
in northern prisons and battlefelds,
a work that is thoroughly congenlal
and pleasant: the Hon. George john
stone. who might rejoin Evans and
Henderson in the effort to down La
timer if sufficiently induced:
"Cotton" Smith, alias "Cyclone"
Smith. alias E. D. Smith, is the most
popular and effective stump speaker
today in South Carolina and knows
as many people as the next politi-
clan; he would wake things up if he
would get into the running.
There is only one thing certain
about the race for the United States
senate next year-the man who beats
Asbury @. Latimer, will get the job.
And Latimer is by no means the easi-
est. proposition in South Carolina.

AIRSH1P FLEET.
Formation Of One Affected by French
Government.

The question of the use Of airships
is one which is very active in Europe
at present, especially in France, Ger
many and Italy. Upon the state Of
affairs in France an important piece
Of news appeared not long since, and
while it must be taken with some re-
serve it is nevertheless worthy OF
mention. Although the military au-
thorities decline to give any informa-
ton on the subject it has leaked out
that the preparations for the new
fleet or airships which is to be used
by the army are being carried for
ward with all possible diligence, and
there are no less than five airships to
be constructed Of the same type as
the Patrie. These will be turned over
to the government in March, 1908. 1t
appears that three Of. the new air
ships will be constructed by Messrs.
Labaudy at their quarters at Moisson,
near Paris, while the other two are
to be built at the government aeros-
tatic establishment at Chalais-Meud-
on, near the city. It is the intention
to provide large fleet Of airships in
the future, as the war department Is
now quite convinced Of their great
value in military manoeuvres for var
ious purposes. Such airships will be
constructed in series Of 6ves, and the
above programme relates to the first
five Of the fleet, exclusive Of the
three Labaudy airships which are al

The records of the Shorthorn SoCt-
ETY. Of Great Britain and Ireland show
the immense number Of animals that
have been exported during the year
1906. aud the majority Of these ami.
mails have been sent to South Ameri-
ca, more especially to the Argentine
republic Indeed, the great demand
for them in that country is the prinCi-
pal cause of the boom in shOrthOrn
cattle. One would imagine that in
consequence Of the severe drain on
the herds of Great Britain, caused by
the expectation Of 50 many Of their
finest animals, depreciation would
be found in the quality of the stock to
be seen at shows. sales and on breed
Crs' farms; but, as a matter Of fact,
such is not the case.
In spite of this increasing demand,
the standard of excellence attained by
the shorthorn breed is quiCe as high
as, and perhaps higher than, it ever
was before. Breeders find that 1t pays
them better to devote a large portion
of their time to the improvement OF
their cattle. AS is the case with all
stock, the mating of the parents and
the rearing and the management OF
the calves have a great deal to do
with the fact that young bulls and
heifers arrive at such a state of per
lection as is only attained in Eng
land.

such a policy as this would be fatal,
they bide their time. Doubtless they

But the most extraordinary exam
pie of the manner in which the Brit

and endeavors to keep his stock to
the front is furnished by the breeders
of pedigree dairy shorthorns. There
can be no doubt that the highest
prices in late years have been given
for the most heavily feshed animals
procurable, and it seems absurd that,
while there has been an almost I'M
paralleled trade for this class of cat
tie, a minority of shorthorn men
should have embarked on the breed

!; deterioration in our herds would be
the result. The demand, too, in for
eign countries is for young animals in
the pink of condition; therefore, it is
rarely that the exporter will take out
shOrthOrns over certain age. In con-
sequence of this the older cows and
bulls are, generally speaking, left in
the old country, and in many cases
these latter are the parents OF some
of the best stock produced.
1t is an age of early maturity, and
bull or heifer of great excellence at
two or three years old will often, after
having attained mature age, be sur
passed by a stable companion who
was probably inferior in appearance
when a youngster. Thus many good
animals are overlooked by the foreign
er, and fortunately remain at home.

When cotton buyer buys lot of
cotton in October which he knows can
not be used by the spinner for many
months, he is either specializing. or
else he proposes to warehouse the cot
ton and get enough for it to pay him
for the use OF his money and for the
risk Of holding the cotton. In either
case he bases his operation upon an
experience of many years, and it is a
safe game for him. Now, would not
that cotton, stored in a convenient
warehouse owned by the farmer bring
as much increase as it does in the
hands Of the Spectator? If the specu-
lator is willing to hire somebody to go
out and buy something for him. so
that he may hold it for an increased
! price, is it not a sensible conclusion
| that the farmer is at the best end OF
| the game when he holds his own cot
ton, and saves the cost of buying, puts
it in his own warehouse, and sells ii
t when it is needed? That looks like
a simple proposition.
