Entry of Nealon to Jockey
Club Stakes Accepted

c. E. DurneIl received official notifica-
ton yesterday from Secretary Fellows
of the Coney Island Jockey Club to
the effect that the entry of Nealon to
the spring stakes of that organization
had been held up solely because Dur
nell had failed to comply with rule
of the club requiring the registration
of the names of all persons interested
in a horse. The letter conveyed the in
formation that the delinquency of Dur
nell in neglecting to register the joint
partnership of Barney Schneider and
himself in the horse could be remedied
by the payment of a $40 fine, provided
the registration should be fled prior
to the time for the announcement of
the weights for the handicap. which in
the case of the Suburban will be January
81. Durnell will hasten to comply with
the requirements and it is expected
that no more will be heard of the mat
ter.
Durnell said yesterday that the FIVE
pounds additional weight which Nealon

that he had about come to the conclu-
sion that he would not let Nealon start

events that are down for decision at
Emeryville this winter. his idea be-
ing that if the horse should win any
stakes here he would have to suffer the
penalty in the adjustment of the
weights for the big Eastern fixtures Of
the coming summer Durnell figures
that he can do about as well from a
financial standpoint by running the
horse in condition races during the re-
mainder of the season and betting on
him as If he should win one of the big
stakes of the meeting. to say nothing
of the decreased danger of knocking
the horse out. with hard racing and
possible penalizing in the classics of
the metropolitan turf.
There were two boosts yesterday,
but no sales resulted. c. c. McCaf-
ferty raised David Boland from $500
to 5000. at which figure the Realty
Stable retained. william Walker ad-
vanced voladay from $1,000 to $1,000,
but William Cahiil protected the horse
with the customary s5 bid.
H. NJ Mason, the owner of Dollie
Dollars, was disconsolate after that
filly won the third race at 80 to 1 on
account of having let her run without
wager.
Gateway was claimed out of the
fifth race by William Cahill for $14Oo.

Desert Blossoms Into Product

Turned On; Vast Area Awaits
Its Magic Touch,

IBy Morning journal Special LessAd Wire. ]
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 27.-Secretary
of the Interior Garfield, speaking of
irrigation, said in an Interview today:
This work has advanced far
enough to demonstrate absolutely its
success. We have seen fruits, vege-
tables, grain and everything else
growing on lands where nothing but
cactus ever grew before the day of ir-
rigation There are 30.000.0O0 acres
of these arid lands all told We have
completed the irrigation work on one
million acres.
"As soon as they get the water they
are fertile as any soil. So far we have
worked chiefly ON the public lands,
although adjacent private property
will be benefited. This land is turned
over to settlers under homestead
act. although the old 160-acre allot-
ment is not adhered to. The size of
the lot is determined by its fertility,
twenty or forty acres in most cases.
THE settlers take these lots with
the understanding that they are to
pay back to the government the cost
of the irrigation improvements in ten
annual installments. beginning as
soon as the water is turned on. They
also have to pay the cost Of mainte-
nance, which amounts to sixty cents
a year an acre. Under this arrange
ment the money advanced by the gov
ernment will all be returned TO it, and
II can be put out In other territories
again until all the arid lands have
been made fertile"
