POSTAGE STAMP BIDDER"
FAILS TO LAND BONDS

A BRAHAM WHITE, the bold and
"A unique genius of Wall street, and
known as the Original postage stamp
bidder" has come to grief at last in
his latest and most daring exploit in
high finance. White tried to carry off
the city's entire new $40,000,000 issue
of bonds with draft on a $4,000 cor
poration.
White, in behalf of his bond house,
the Abraham White Bond company,
offered to take the entire $4,000, 900
of bonds at prices ranging from 100.35
to 102.50. He deposited with his bid
a draft instead of a certified check.
The draft was for 100000 and was
drawn on the Greater New York Sc
curity company, corporation of
which he is supposed to be the sole
active member, and which does not
figure in the directory of the building
where ii is located. This concern is
capitalized at $4,000 1t gave a print

ance is very striking, yet he is not
tall man. but rather short. short-neck-
ed, and approaching dangerously near

nifty and distinction. such an air OF
imperial yet genial pride, such instinc-

purple and accustomed to homage.
In spite OF his monastic retirement and
seclusion he never descends to famili-
arity with intimates. To them he Is

they are mere servants or subjects.
Add ell Aziz never dons the grand man
ner, but for II all the duality in him
is most striking. Thus there is one of
him that is great scholar learned in

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

The day of the highlander in the po-
tional aid in behalf of irrigation pro-
ieets became an accomplished fact
some thought the National Irrigation
Con- ,ess had completed its mission and
would dissolve or lose its value. 1t is
apparent now that the congress has
only begun the period of its greatest
usefulness and that it is to be one OF
the great factors in the development Of
public opinion on the subjects most
closely connected with irrigation, re-
clamation. forestry and reservations.
The streams and forests Of the west
are the foundation of its growth. With
out preservation of the forests the wa
tersheds would be impaired if not ac-
tuaIly destroyed; and without the
streams and lakes, the natural reser-
voirs. the arid region would realize all
its name implies and relapse into a
desert waste.
1t follows that the National Irrigation
Congress is most deeply concerned in
those government laws and ADMINS
trative policies which affect these
sources of water supply; and tlat it is
