MASSACHUSETTS SUCCESSFULLY
REcLAIMiNG PROVINCE LANDS.
Grass, Shrubs and Trees Being Planted
Tract Once as Barren as Sa-
hara - Cranberries Flourish
in Section.
Copyright by waldou Fawcet,.

Provincetown. Mass.-The effort of
Massachusetts to keep its 500 acres
of sand on Cape Cod. known as the
Province Lands. from being blown into
the sea. by binding the surface down
through the planting of grass, shrubs
and trees, is nearly completed and it
is expected that the remaining 10
ac.es will be reclaimed within the next
three years.
The Province Lands are a direct
inheritance O. the commonwealth. hav-
ing been decided originally TO the
province of Massachusetts bay by the
crown of England and having never
been relinquished, though they have
for many years been the most unstable
piece of property in the state Scarce
ly heavy storm could pass over this
part of the cape without changing
the topography. At times it seems
as if the great pillows of sand, which
the northeast gales roll up as easily
as they do the waves of the sea,
would envelop and smother this little
town.
During the past Is years, however,
the work of tying down the soil of
the cape with roots of grasses and
shrubs, thereby restoring equilibrium,
has been progressing. So promising
has the result been that it is regarded
as possible, when the province lands
are secured, that the state may extend
its work to the Peaked hills of Truro.
which adjoin the lands on the east
The reclamation of the Province
Lands began in 1898, when an appropri-
alton of $4,000 was made. At that time
the tract was as barren as Sahara
Successes of the French horticulturists
in Brittany and of the national gov
'ernment at Cape Hatteras and on the
Virginia coast encouraged the Massa-
chusetts authorities to believe that
judicious planting of beach grass,
pines and Scotch broom would gradu-
ally bring the tract back to stability
and in time, perhaps, agriculture.
Since 1893 s45,474 has been. ex-
pended and $50 acres have been car
peted with heath that in the autumn
glows like a Persian rug. There re-
main still about 10 acres to be re-
planted. but with the usual triennial
appropriation of-$10,000 this year it is
hoped to complete the work over the
entire property of the state.

will be more nearly correct. 1t is the
honest truth that many of the men

Another senator. probably as rich
as Mr.. Elkins, but who would not al.

fully one-fourth of the 92 senators
have little else than their salaries of
$500 a year. Another fourth of the
92 have somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000. The personal fortunes
of another quarter of the senate range
between $50.00O or 100000 and $780,
900. Most Of this class of twenty-odd
the senator thought. were worth be-
tween 100000 and 5000, 900 The other
quarter comprised senators all worth
100000, and probably 10 or 12 only
entitled to be called millionaires. not
multi-millionaires, but simply worth
from 100000 to $10,O00,O09.

EVER since a magazine article roast
Il ing the art of the great paintings
in the rotunda Of the capitol has been

been receiving more attention thGn
ever before from the capitol guides.
Even the oldtimers in Washington
who regarded 1t as green" to listen

the pictures and statuary, are going
