 J c. Blanchard, statistician of the reclamation service. says these opera tions have resulted in the establish ment of eight towns. the construction of 100 miles of branch railroad. and the settlement of 14.000 persons in the desert" These settlers have made homes where it was impossible to produce crops before the water came.
 In 1907. the reclamation service dug l,SS1 miles of canals. some of which carry whole rivers. The service ex- eavated during the year. Is 1-2 miles of tunnels and erected 2S1 large struc- lures, including dams. IT completed 1000 headworks and fumes.
 It built 611 miles of wagon road in mountainous regions. It made and used S0.000 barrels of cement and pur- chased 403.00O barrels. It strung $50 miles of telephone wires. Its own sawmills cut 3,036.000 feet Of lum- Der, and IL purchased 23.6S5.000 feet

 Equal Apostle Paul.

Burlington, Kan, Nov. 1.-The Rev French F. Oliver, who is holding a revival meeting here, has Issued an open letter to w. j. Bryan urging him to become an evangelist and declaring that he would become the equal of the Apostle Paul
 twelve years ago" writes Mir. Oli- yer, q wrote you letter in which l stated my conviction that you should preach the gospels, and added the statement that if you would conse- crate your wonderful talents to God as an evangelist, the Bryan of the twentieth century would equal the Paul of the first century as a cham plon of the cause of Christ
 Personally, your three defeats have been three sources of sorrow to me, as have hoped to see you elected to the presidency, Who knows? Perhaps God has withheld the presidency from you in order that you may become more to your country than president l am firmly convinced that one ambas- sador of Christ of your callbro is worth moro to this nation than ten thousand presidents
 This impression regarding your ft- ness for the great work named has been strong in my heart for twelve years, and I pray God that it may be- come a fire in your great soul"

peror already has instructed Marquis Kat
sura to form a new cabinet. but the an
nouncement will not be made officially
before July Z. and possibly may be de-
layed until the arrival of Prince Ito from
Seoul. July II.
The next cabinet will likely be largely
composed of the adherents Of Marquis
Yamagata. and will be constructed on
non-partisan lines.
Premier Katsura will probably combine
the premiership with minister OF foreign
affairs until the arrival Of Count Komura,
the present Japanese ambassador at Lon
don, who is regarded as the likeliest can
didate for the foreign Office. Another
probability as minister of foreign affairs
is Marquis Inouye. secretary of the home
department and formerly ambassador at
Berlin.
The other portfolios will probably be:
Finance. Baron. Hirata: war. Viscount
Terauch; navy. Baron Saito: home, NJ.
Hara; communications. NJ. Yamagata.
The others are uncertain. A well known
authority said to the Associated Press:
"All rumors that a change in the cabi-
net means increasing militarism are alb
solutely unfounded. The new cabinet will
certainly follow the lines of peaceful re-
treuchment."

CATCHING MAIL POUCHES.
Committee Appointed to Examine
Approved Devices.

approved OcV1CeS.
Postmaster General Meyer has appoint
ed a committee consisting of Samuel NJ.
Gaines and Charles Rager, superintend-
ents of railway mail service: H. NJ. Robin
son and H. McC. Wade, assistant superin-
tendents of railway mail service. and b.
l.. Andrus, superintendent Of the mail
lock repair shop, to test a number of de-
vices intended for exchanging mails with
moving trains.
In exchanging mails at stations where
mail trains do not stop the pouches are
thrown from the cars. This subjects the
pouches to very hard usage, and thereby
entails heavy expense on the depart
ment for their repair. At times. in throw
ing off the pouches, they do not clear the
train. and the suction draws them be-
meath the wheels. In such instances mail
is mutilated and some of it destroyed.
which, of course. Is a much more serious
matter than that of damage to the equip
ment. For many years the Post Office
Department has from time to time in
vited inventors to submit devices looking
to the successful accomplishments ~Of the
exchange of mails with moving trains. and
many such devices have been tested. Thus
far nothing Of this kind has stood the
test to the satisfaction of the depart
ment.
In response to an advertisement issued
in October last. proposals relative to
seVenty-Stx catching and delivering de-
vices were received by the Postmaster
General These proposals were publicly
opened January Is. Preliminary tests
having been made of such devices as were
submitted. it is now found that eight of
them are worthy of further consideration.
1t is the purpose of this committee of ex-
pert officials to make very thorough test
OF these eight devices and to report to
the Postmaster General as to the practical
workings of each of them, with a view
to the adoption of one or more by the
department.

BIG FLAG IN PLACE AGAIN.
Old Glory on Post Office Department
Has Another Star.

The great flag which is suspended In
the glass-roofed inner court of the Post
Office Department building and which was
taken down Wednesday morning that the
stars might be rearranged and a new
star added for Oklahoma was unfurled
again in it's proper place at sunrise this
morning by Captain of the Watch James
Campbell, without form or ceremony.
At the same time the two smaller flags
were placed at half-mast on the roof of
the building, each with it's stars corre-
spending to the new requirements.
The flag in the inner court Of the build
ing is approximately 90 by 30 feet in size.
and Is said to be the largest correctly
proportioned American flag in existence.
The regulation army flag sizes are the
storm or recruiting size. by feet: the
post flag size. 20 by 10 feet. and the gar
rison flag size. 36 by IS feet. although
the latter, except for purposes Of decora-
ton, has not been in use for about twenty
years.
The flags which float from the roof of
the building should be of the post flag
size. 20 by 10 feet. but the peculiar forma-
ton of the building creates currents of
air that would keep the flags on the top
of the poles If they were of that size,
and so the smaller flags were made for
the purpose.
