chapter is being written in the history
of the remarkable prohibition wave
that is sweeping the country.
The first of the new year $4,000 en-

railroad became total abstainers. A
few weeks later the management of the
Baltimore and Ohio issued an order
prohibiting its employees who had any
thing to do with the running of trains
from using intoXicants whether on or
off duty. Thousands of men were at
fected by the order Other railroads
have adopted a similar policy until now

railroad men are living II what

FARMER starts Suit Against Resi-
dents of Pelham Manor, N Y.
Edmund C. Jessup, farmer living in
northern Connecticut, has brought suit
against the holders of 90 acres of land
in Pelham Manor. \. Y, on which are
built the homes of a number of prom
inent New Workers, to recover the prop
erty which he claims belongs to him.
The property is valued at $3,000,00O.
Jessup's father owned the property and
used it as a farm until he died and
left it to the present plaintiff and his
three sisters. Some years later Jessup
disappeared from home and his sisters,
thinking him dead, sold the property,
which has since rapidly gained in
value. The three sisters are now dead
and, neither of them having ever mar
ried Jessup is the sole heir. His suit
is based on the fact that he owned an
undivided one-fourth of the land and is
now the sole heir If his sisters and tfat
he never consented to the sale of the
property.

reference to the development of the

following statement made by NJ o.
Leighton, chief photographer of the
United States Geological Survey Mr.
Leighton spoke In particular Of the
Southern Appalachian region. He de
clared that conservative estimate Of
the water power available in the re-
gion was at least 100000 horsepower ;
that One-ffth of this sold at an annual
rental Of $50 per horsepower would
yield to the government if national
reserve should be made of the region,
the equivalent of 3 per cent interest on
a capital of 1888, 100000. The denuda-
ton Of the hills of their forest cover
Ing, which, he affirmed, is ever on the
increase, costs the government every
year several million dollars merely by
the destruction wrought, besides the de-
probation in land values.
