gia, or Virginia, or Michigan. or
equal to one-thlrd OF the cotton area
At the census average income per
acre, with allowance for subsequent
increase of price of products, the
value of crops raised on irrigated
land this year would appear to be
worth at least $175, 900, 900, an in
crease of rs per cent over the value
OF 1899.
In 1908 an additional area of s.
100000 acres will be under ditch

this additional area is settled, the
total wiz be 60,OOO.9OO acres. IL

Four-fifths OF the worlds produc-
,tion OF corn, as nearly as can be de-
termined, grows in the United States
and in the worlds international
trade in corn this country contrib
utes one-thlrd to one-half Of the ex-
port, not including the products Of
corn-fed animals.
In value the corn crop Of this
year is much above the hIgh-water
mark OF 1906. On the assumption
that the corn crop will be sold by
farmers at an average price not be-
low the present one, It's value Is es-
tImated to be 1880, 900, 900, or 26
per cent above the average value of
the previous Ave crops. Fonr crops
before had exceeded ono billion dol
lars.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-As condi-
tIons in the financial world grow
more reas9uring, the sentiment OF
the congressional leaders regarding
curreney legislation is becoming
more and more conservative. Sena-
tor Allison believes that congress
will go very slow In considering
changes in the currency laws. Alli-
son is the ranking member OF the
senate committee on finance, and,
next to the all-powerful chairman,
Aldrich, is the most influential men,
ber of that committee.
Senator Allison said that no ac-
tion would be taken by congress, ex-
ccpt after a most thorough and care
full consideration. No emergency
bill will be rushed through in re-
Spouse to demands that something be
done at once.
Senator Allison said that II busi-
ness conditions continue to improve
as they have been improving the last
few days, normal conditions will
havo been established early in jan
.uary.
Then the necessity for radical cur
rency legislation will disappear.

College Figures Doubled.
Remarkable Increase In Number oi Students
in Ten Years.

Superintendent OF Public In.
struction Schaeffer, secretary of the
College and University Council,
has sent his sixth biennial report
on higher education in Pennsylvan
ia 10 the Legislature. During the
last ten years the number OF under
graduates in the colleges has in
creased from $500 to 10, ,42I, and
the number of women at colleges
from 1902 to 5I47. The report
submits figures to show that the
public schools may rely upon the
smaller colleges for the supply Of
teachers in SO far as college-br
men and women can be secured to
teach in the public schools.
The report states that in many
quarters cry is heard from the
emancipation Of the high school
from the dominat on OF the college,
and that it is to be hoped the mod.
ern method OF teaching history will
find its way from the college into
the public schools.

College Must Pay Tax.
Judge Endlich Renders an Important Decision
at Chambersburg.

A decision in which every edu-
cational institution, partly support
ed by charity, is concerned, was
handed down recently by Judge Eu-
dlich, O. Reading, when he decided
tha: Mercersburg College must
pay county, borough and school
taxes.
1t was contended by the Board of
Regents that the corporation is an
institution of purely public charity
and a college founded, endowed
and maintained by private charity,
and therefore exempt. Judge End
Itch recites that the revenues de.
rived from tuition. the revenues
from store maintained at the col
lege, and the rental of college
ground bring it within the corpora
tions amenable to the tax law. An
appeal will be taken.

Pennsy to Absorb the P. & E.

The Philadelphia & Erie is 10 be
consolidated with the Pennsylvania
Railroad and become an integral part
of that system and its identity as an
independent railway corporation

action is expected to follow shortly

would be the next step after the
Pennsylvania had secured complete
control of the Philadelphia & Erie
through an exchange Of stock.

the building of line to the Great

Will for Million a Forgery.
Court so Declares in Rejecting schooleys
Testament.

G.. B. Schooley's attempt to cap.
ture the Crawford estate of over a
million received hard set back Sat
ur1ay at Scranton Judge Sando, in
Orphans Court, handed down. all
opinion in which he makes it clear
that he believes the q, i'll presented
by Schooley is forgery.
Schooley lives in Philadelphia
aud was cousin of the late James
l.. Crawford, president of the Peo.
ple's Coal Company. Of Scranton,
who died in Florida on January l9.
1905, leaving an estate worth nea =
ly 81 900, 900. Soon after his death
Mrs. Crawford had his will probat.
ed. 1t left ractically all of the
estate to her.
Sixteen months later Schooley
produced a will, whirh, he alleged,
was made at later date than the
one produced 5y Mrs. Crawford.
This gave Schooley the major por-
ton of the Crawford estate. Then
he began his hght to have this Will
recognized. He is now under in
dictment in I.ackawanna county on
a charge of forging the signature
OF Mr., Crawioru to the will.
In the opinion Judge Sando de-
clares that the evidence furnished
to prove the will ungenuine is so
overwhelming that the Court has
no other course than to refuse to
consider the document, althougn
two witnesses have sworn that they
witnessed Crawford sign the will in
favor Of Schooley. Attorney S. B.
Price, counse! for Mr.. Schooley,
says that an appeal to the Supreme
Court will be taken.

WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.

Washington, d. c. Jan. IA, 1907.
1t looks as though the House
had fixed up scheme whereby it
will be able to block any legislation
to which it has an objection, es.
pecialiy anything in which the
Senate or the President are parti-
cuarly interested. 1t has taken Up
the consideration of a Revised Pen
al Code, and has made it the next
oder of business after the Appro-
alton Bill. This means that
i, legislation will have right Of
y " over auy legislation except the
n ,ropriation bills at any time the
. )rorriation bills are not under
cussion. The measure natural
ly is about as long as the Moral
Law, and it will have to be read in
extenso Members who wish can
discuss it any length they please
and it will be only by special Provi.
dencc that anything the House
wishes to oppose gets by this piece
Of obstructive legislation.
The chances are one Of the first
things it will be used to kill is
Senator La Follette's bill limiting
the hours of labor for railroad en-
ployees. A vote was fixed for this
bill this week, but the House will
have a chance at it when it comes
up for reconsideration and it may
be considered almost as good as
dead. The numerous other urgent
matters, including the Brownsville
case, and the States Rights bill,
will all have to wait the pleasure
Of the House before they get a
hearing.
They are telling a story. however,
tending to indicate that the House
thinks very we'll of the prospect for
legislation. The story is probably
apocryphal, but it is good enough
to bear repeating. They say the
Steering Committee was holding
an informal meeting just before the
recess and discussing the same
matter of possible legislation. The
most of the members were inclined
to- take pessimistic view of the
situation and proiessed to think
there would not be much done,
save routine work aud the passage
of the regular appropriation bills.
Then arose one member and spoke
as follows:
Gentlemen, I am not given to
these gloomy forebodings. Con-
gress has done we'll this session.
We have already done more than
we had any reason to hope. We
have already saved the dictionary
of the United States. and before we
get through d. ned if l don't
think we will save the constitution
also."
XIX
The President is on the eve oi
sending another message to Con
gress and this too is going to be H.
lustrated. 1t is a report on the
break in the banks of the Colorado
River, which is asst becoming 6
question of national moment. The
message is likely to handle Mr.. E
H. Hartman and the Southern
Pacific Railroad, either with glove,
or else with gloves of the two ounce
variety. 1t will be recalled tina
the break in the Colorado Rive
was caused originally by a Hoot
carrying out the head gates Of al
irrigation canal that had been dut

by the California Development
Company. This turned the whole
course of the Colorado River west
ward and northward into the depths
of a remarkable geological depress-
ion. known as the Salton sink
This is deeper than the Dead Sea
ard below the Pacific level and con-
tains an area of over 1000 square
miles, much of it capable Of becom-
ing rich farming land as soon as ir.
rigation water is put on it. The
river is pouring in to the bottom of
this depression and promises if not
stopped to form au inland sea as
big as Lake Michigan. The river
is running through soft alluvial
ground and has already cut itself
canyon 50 feet deep and in places
1900 feet across, and is eating its
way backward at the rate OF half
mile day.
The point where Mr.. Hartman
and his duplicity come in is that
the California Development Com
pauy is owned by the Southern
Pacific Railroad whose tracks are
menaced by the rising flood. Some
weeks ago President Roosevelt urg-
ed Mr.. Hartman to have the
Southern Pacific close up this
dangerous break in the river banks
Mr.. Hartman at that time declared
that the Southern Pacific Railroad
had no interest in the California
Development Company and sug-
gested that the federal government
should bear part, if not the whole
expense OF turning the Colorado
back into its old channel. 1t now
appears, however, that the South
ern Pacific owns the California De-
velopment Company outright and
the President in his forthcoming
message probably will suggest that
the Southern Pacific Railway be
made to bear the whole expense Of
replacing the river in its channel,
and will have a few characteristic
things to state Oh the subject Of
Mr.. Hartman and his effort to
hoodwink the government.
**#
Little has been heard for a week
or more on the Panama Canal, but
that matter promises to crop up in
Congress on the report that is now
i'll circulation to the effect that the
whole scheme for a lock canal is
jeopardized by the fact that no
foundations have been discovered
for the gatum dam. This dam, if
erected, would be the largest in
every respect in the whole world,
and would make the Assuan dam
in Egypt ~ ok like an ordinary rail
road enbankment beside it. 1t is
designed to form a lake to divert
the entire fl.w of the Chagras Riv.
er, and if it cannot be built will
necessarily change the whole plan
of the canal construction. Borings
have been made on the site of the
dam, but it is claimed that no sat
isfactory foundation has been dis
covered.

FARMER" GREASY
INTRODUCES BILL.
Fighting Democrat Still Fighting for Trolley
Freight

After all the years of fighting for
trolley freight in the Pennsylv MIA
legislature, William L. Greasy, of
Columbia county, again introduced
such bill in the house on. Tues
day. This is tue first time that Mr.
Greasy ever introduced such legis-
lation that he seemed to have any
chance CT witnessing it become a
law.
Mr.. Creasy's bill is a brief one
and provides that all railroad COM
panies operated by any power other
than steam shall have the right to
carry freight over their lines, wher-
ever located, subject to certain re-
strictions.
The restrictions are that anv bor-
ough or city through which the
lines Of the traction company may
run and over which lines the COM
pany wishes to carry f'eight may
tax the company for the privilege
of carrying freight through the
municipality.
These restrictions are incorporate
ed in the bill by Mr.. Greasy so that
cities and boroughs may not be
held up by the traction companies
and the companies enjoy valuable
privileges without the citv or bor-
ough getting remuneration.
