REcLAIMlNG THE DESERT.

A writer in the Reader magazine
says that at the rate with which the
federal government is retaining arid
lands, there will. in 20 years, be left
but little of what has been considered
desert country. The estimate that
within the next half-century 6O,0OO,-
600 acres of land now dry and worth
less will be transformed into fertile
soil Is probably conservative, Fifteen
years ago the tide of Western immi-
grafton seemed to have almost stopped.
But now 1t is on in greater force than
ever before, and the last final rush for
cheap land will no doubt result in the
reclamation of all the vast territory
considered. a few years ago. unfit for
farming or habitation.
About % irrigation projects. inyoIv-
Ing the expenditure of $25, 1000, 900, are
now in process of building, while 9TH
-ers to cost $15.OOO,OoO are under con-
sideration. The reclamation service
has ss4000,000 on hand, and BY next
year it will have $41,50O, 900. No sec
ton of that country, however dry or
barren, Is now considered hopeless.
The application of water where
streams may be tapped and the use of
scientific farming methods win even
7tually reclaim all the waste places and
add immeasurably to our national and
individual wealth.

He was educated in the Owega acad-

gave it simply and benignantly, and
then laid his hand moment on the

he turned his eyes upon the Spar

Then the confusion Of his beautiful
penitent, the flush which mounted to
her neck even as she kneeled added
to a certain level defiance in the
glance Of her taller companion, told
him almost at a glance that which had
been so carefully concealed. His
glance travelled back and forth from
the Sparhawk to Margaret, and from
Margaret to the Sparhawk.
"Ah!" he said at last, for all com
ment.
The Princess rose to her feet and
approached the priest.

He only bowed deferentially and
withdrew. Margaret and the Spar

The two stood thus while the brisk
footsteps of Prince Wasp thinned out
down the corridor. Then Margaret
turned swiftly upon her tall compan-

pulled Maurice over to the window.
