ing streams for irrigation purposes
and raised large crops Of vegetables
and grain. However, irrigation did
not make any extensive headway until
the civil war and during the early
seventies, when the great tide Of i'm
migration turned toward the west. In
1870 only about 10000 acres of land
were cultivated by irrigation in the
United States. In the next ten years
this number was increased to 100000
acres. During the years between
$4,000 irrigation experienced great
creased to nearly 100000. In 1902,
the last census, the acreage was 9034,-
52G, and each month sees thousands
of acres added until the total is nearly
100000 acres today.
Among the great irrigating engineer
ing feats of this country is the Won
derful Strawberry valley project at
Vernal, Utah, now under way. where
storage reservoir will be built to
hold 5,0OO,O0O,O0O gallons of water, and
a tunnel three and one-half miles long

work is being done by electrically driv-
en- tools, and when completed the wa

tricity for lighting and power purposes
and then for irrigation. The entire
electrical equipment for this plant was
furnished by the General Electric COM
pany. The Williston (N. d. project
and the Buford-Trenton project in the
same state are operated entirely by
electricity. The current is generated
by Curtis steam turbo-generatOrs and
is used to drive the large motors con-

Lamb For the Greeks.

The unique Greek dish on New Years
eve is the roast lamb, set up in Greek
style, of which each son Of Hellas must
partake. The roasting of the lamb is
attended with great deal of pomp.
The entire carcass of lamb is set up
on a pole, and this is held over fire
until it is duly roasted. Then it is
sliced and apportioned among the va
rious persons present at the feast, and
the roast is eaten along with the other
strictly Greek dishes and washed down
with Greek wine.

In America irrigation was practiced
thousands Of years ago by the prehis-

New Mexico and Arizona.
The first systematic application of
irrigation to be made by the whites in
the United States was inaugurated by
the Akormons on the shores of the
Great Salt lake in 1S41. The Nor
mons found Utah anything but the

BATTLE WITH A GALE.
Seven Shipwrecked Seamen Relate a
Thrilling Experience.

New York, Nov. 6.-Seven ship
wrecked seamen, who were today
brought into this port bv the Austrian
steamer Maria, told q thrilling tale of
a SIX days battle with gales that bat
tered their little schooner, the r, D.
Spear, until they were forced to aban-
don her on November 3. The schooner
sailed from Philadelphia on October
20 for Calais. Me, with COAL. On the
night of October 20. she encountered
a stiff northeast gale, which carried
away part of the rigging and sails. The
schooner was forced to run before the
gale: Later she began leaking. Just
as the crew was about to give up in
despair the steamer Maria was sighted.
After much difficulty. owing to the
huge seas breaking over the water
logged vessel, the crew managed to
launch the life boat and leave the
doomed schooner for the Maria.

WORK FOR THOUSANDS.
Prosperity March Is Being Resumed
North and South.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Chicago business
men have resumed the march to pros
perity. Careful estimates by mem
bers of the Chicago association of
commerce indicate that more than
$4,000 workers have found places on
full time work in the two days since
the election. These same men pre-
dicted that before January 1, 10000
additional wage earners would be
given employment.
The first step was the announce
ment of the Western Steel Car and
Foundry company, at Hegewisch, that
500 men would be put to work at once
and that work would be resumed
steadily until the full complement of
1900 was at work. The plant has
been practically closed for two
months and the general superintend-
ent, H. j. McIneney, said it would be
running full force within a month.
Another sign of the times was the in
crease of bank deposits, especially in
savings banks. since the election.

ton of William H. Taft has brought
rejoicing to cotton mill workers and
lumbermen in this section of the

creased wages were announced when
President Odenheimer of the textile
mills in various points in Mississippi
and Louisiana announced the re-
storation of wages prevailing prior to
August, when the 20 per cent re-
duction was announced. Probably
1000 workers are affected. In lumber
circles there was conside derable gratifi-
cation over the announcement by the
Odenheimer company of the closing of
contract with the Pullman Car COM
pany for one of the largest contracts
for hardwood ever closed in the south.
