No matter what you do, pro- vided you do it better than some one could do the same thing, there's a welcome awaiting you in the world. It was Emerson, we believe, who said: ''If man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door," Try to excel-it,s a laudable ambi- tiOn.

New Ruling on Desert Land Claims.

The Interior department has issued the new rules recently promulgated as being necessary to follow in making annual and final proof on desert land claims. They are radical departure from the old. A certified copy of water stock must accompany annual proofs.
 ''The law requires an expenditure of not less than three dollars per acre for the entire area entered in the neces- sary irrigation, reclamation and culti- vation of the land, by means of main canals and branch ditches, and in the permanent improvements upon the 1 land.
 During first year after entry the claimant must file with the register proof, consisting of his own affidavit and the separate atfidavits of two wit nesses, that the full sum of one dollar per acre has been so expended, and like proof must be made for each year thereafter until the full sum of three dollars per acre has been expended; and at the end of the third year the claimant must file map or plan show | ing the character and extent of the improvements.
 Expenditures for which proof will not be accepted:
 ''No proof of expenditure will be ac- cepted unless the expenditure was es- sential to the actual or ultimate recla- nation of the land.
 "A dwelling house is not essential to reclamation. and no allowance will be made therefor.
 'Plowing, after the first breaking of the land, seeding land to crops, irri- gating, cultivating, and harvesting crops are not items for which proof of expenditure will be accepted.
 ''The cost of windmill or pump will not be allowed unless it is specifically shown that the same was essential to the contemplated mode of irrigation and was not installed for domestic uses.
 ''Tbe cost of material for necessary construction work will not be allowed unless it actually has been applied to that use, and it must be so stated in the affidavit.
 ''The cost of tools, implements, wag- ons, and repairs to same, used in con- struction, cannot be computed in cost of construction.
 "No expenditure for surveying will be allowed unless it is specifically stat

TEST FOR STEEL TIES.

The most complete and ex- haustive test made to test the efficiency of steel ties for Ameri- can railroads has been decided upon by the Pennsylvania road. It has put down 5000 of these ties between Pittsburg and Al toona. The experiment is on a section of track over which the traffic will be heaviest and the results will be regarded as deci- Sive.
 In case the experiment fails, the Pennsylvania has under cul- tiyation more than 1, 100000 trees which will be available in case of need. In growing them, the road is cooperating with the for estry departments of the state and national governments.
 In addition to those already planted, the railway has in the nurseries at Hollodaysburg 300, : 900 young trees which will be transplanted this year. In the vicinity of Altoona there is a tract of 14,0O0 acres suitable for their cultivation.
 All soft wood ties hereafter used by the road will be treated with creosote todouble their life.
 The Pennsylvania uses about 5,500,000 ties annually. This represents an outlay of about $3, 850,000 a year. By cultivat- ing it's own trees and by the cre- osoting process the company hopes to reduce this materially.
