Making the Desert Blossom.

The opening of the floOdgates of the
Gunnison tunnel signaled the compile
ton of the main feature of the largest
irrigation scheme yet undertaken by
the federal government. That the
scheme when fully put into operation
will be successful does not admit of
doubt Constructing this tunnel was
a big proposition and required several
years to complete. The situation that
required the construction of such
tunnel was peculiar. The Uncompah-
gree valley of approximately zoe, 900
acres was part of the arid and DESC
late waste once known as the Great
American desert. This was not a
desert of mineral sand, but of thirsty
alkaline dust deprived of water. 1t
was long ago discovered that much of
1t was composed of the elements of
exceptionally fertile soil. needing only
to be irrigated to replace the sage
brush with blooming gardens and
waving fields.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS,

Standing out as conspicuous
feature of a bulletin issued to-day
by the Census bureau entitled Cen
sus of Religious Bodies" is the fact
that out of a church membership in
the United States in 1906 of nearly
33.000,00O, males formed consider
ably less than half of the total.
OF the total church membership
reported by the various religious
bodies and classified by sex, 43.1
per cent. were males and $50 per
cent. were females. Among the
Protestants the difference was
greater, only 39,3 per cent. being
males, while in the Roman Catholic
church the males formed +9 per
cent. of the total membership.
Fewer males than females were
found among the Latter-Day Saint
the Lutherans, Disciples, Methodists,
Baptists, Presbyterians, and Pro-
testant Episcopalians, the percent
age of male members decreasing in
the order shown, there being but
95.5 per cent. male among the Epis-
copalians. Among the Christian
Scientists only 27.6 per cent. were
males, and of the Shakers but 21.3
per cent; but in the Greek Ortho-
dox church 93.9 per cent. were
males.
Other salient features of the
report show that there were ST.
100000 invested in church edi-
fees and that every day eight new
churches sent their spires skyward.
Of the total estimated population
of continental United States in 1906
the church members formed 39.1
per cent, as against 32.7 per cent.
for 1890. OF this GA per cent. in
crease the Roman Catholic church
is credited with A per cent. and
the Protestants with is, the re-
mainder being divided among all
other denominations.
The total church membership for
1906 was 32,936,445, of which num-
ber the protestants we're credited
with 20,2S7,742, and the Roman
Catholics with 12,079.142. OF the
protestants bodies the Methodists
numbered 5,749,S3S, the Baptists
5,662,234, the Lutherans 2,112,-
494, the Presbyterians 1.S3O,555,
and the Disciples or Christians L.
142,359. The rate of increase
shown for the Roman Catholic
church 93.5 per cent, which is more
than twice that for all the Protestant
bodies combined.

JAMES 1IGHE'S AUTO OVER
HOARD.

While the City of Newburgh a
ferryboat plying between Newburgh
and Fishkill, and conveying eleven
automobiles belonging to the party
of Excelsior Hook and Ladder Com
pany of NIiddletown, was making
the landing at Fishkill, F."day a.
m, the boat struck the ferry slip
with such force as to cause the last
auto on the boat to start backward.
The heavy machine owned by
James p. Tighe, formerly of Hawley,
struck and carried away an iron
rod extending across the end OF the
boat and the machine plunged into
the river. Alton J. Vail, the we'll
known lawyer of Middletown, was
the only occupant of the car at the
time and he was precipitated into
the river with the machine, but
quickly arose to the surface.
+. 0. Rockafellow who is an ex-
pert swimmer threw off his coat and
plunged into the river to the rescue
and was able to hold Mr.. Vail above
water until further assistance was
rendered and both men were pulled
out, none the worse for their adven-
ture bevond the involuntary bath
and accompanying discomforts.
The accident caused great excite
ment for few minutes, but after
an hours delay, during which
Messrs. Vail and Rockafellow dried
their garments, the party proceeded
on the journey to POughkeepsie.
The drowned" car was in charge
OF Joe" Clark, the well-known
chauffeur, and he and the other pas
sengers were promenading the deck
when the accident occurred. Be
fore Mr.. Clark could reach the ma
chine to apply the emergency brakes
the car went over the end of the
boat into the river.
The auto sank into thirty feet of
water, and was raise! by means of
a derrick on a steam dredger which
is at work near the Fishkill docks.
The matter Of fixing the blame
for the damage to the machine has
not been fully decided as yet, but

A very plausible story is going
the rounds to the effect that a much
more feasible route for an inter-
oceanic canal has been discovered,
wholly within the territory of CO.
lumbia and that British interests
are acquiring the rights with
view of constructing a rival canal
to that of the United States. Great
Britain may not like the idea of
Uncle Sam controlling the only wa
terway between the Atlantic and
the Pacific, but it is improbable that
she will spend hundred of millions
of dollars, into an enterprise of this
kind when she needs all the money
she can scrape together to build
battleships in order to keep peace

We felt repaid for our extra effort
in early rising, and this ride across
Salt Lake will linger in our mem
ory long after many other things
are forgotten. The old road-bed
around the north shore of the lake,
for a distance of 147 miles, has
been abandoned This Cutoff from
Lucin to ogden, a distance of 1O3
miles, a saving of A miles, is built
across the heart of the lake, and
so nearly straight that it is only
170S feet or third of mile longer
than an air line, with practically no
grade. Before we leave let me say
a word about Salt Lake. The Lake
is eighty-three miles long and fifty
one miles wide; it's greatest depth
is thirty-three feet, and it is 1900
feet above tide water. Save only
the Dead Sea of the Holy Land this
is the most salty body of water on
the globe, the former containing
"a per cent. of solids, the Great
Salt Lake % per cent. In other
words every five pounds of the Salt
Lake water contains one pound of
salt of which thirteen ounces are
common salt. The Atlantic Ocean
water contains only 312 per cent
of solids. No fish live in this salty
water of Salt Lake. We reached
Ogden at Z 10 a. m. and left at
$50, giving us time to see some
of the town. Odgen has broad
paved streets, good stone and ce-
ment sidewalks, well-kept lawns,
some beautiful homes, solid busi-
ness buildings, a large Norman
temple and has a population of
about twenty thousand. The Wa
satch range of snow-capped noun
tains looked to us to be about two
or three miles back of the city.
Prof. Clark told us it was seven
miles to the foot OF the mountains.

INSURANCE co. SHY ON CAPITAL

Assistant Deputy Attorney Gener-
al largest, in an opinion to Insur-
ance Commissioner Martin on Mon
day, advised against the issuance OF
a certificate to the Pennsylvania In
surance company, of Pittsburg, be-
cause it does not have paid-up
capital OF 100000 as required by
the act of 1876, regulating joint
stock companies.
The company was chartered in
1852, but went out of business in
1891. 1t is now attempting to re-
vive itself under its old charter, with
only $4,000 paid up capital. The
opinion says it is the policy of the
state not to permit an insurance
company to engage in business on SO
meager a capital"

SCRANTON'S NEW HOTEL.

The contract for the building of
the Casey Grand hotel at Lacka-
wanna and Adams avenues was filed
Tuesday. The contract is drawn
between A. J. and P. ]. Casey and
the Carlucci Stone company and
shows that the contractor is to re-
ceive S3S6,000 for the work.
Among the clauses in the contract
are the following: The building must
be completed and ready for occu-
pancy on or before July /, 1910;
the contractor must furnish a bond
for 100000 for the faithful per-
formance of the work, and an addi-
tional indemnifying bond against
accidents of $4,000; that the con-
tractor shall receive a bonus of 500
for each day the building is COM
pleted before the specified time, and
pay 500 day forfeit for each
day the work goes over the time
limit. The sum of $500 is to be
spent by the contractor in protect
ing the foundations OF adjoining
buildings.
The work on the hotel is TO be
done under the supervision of Arch
itect Charles R. Weatherhogg of
Fort Wayne, Ind, or his agents and
all disputes over any clauses in the
contract are to be referred to an
arbitration board made up of John
Nelson, f. d. Walter and Eugene
Fellows.
Work on the excavations for the
hotel was started on Wednesday.
The plans have already been filed
with the building inspector and the
permit will be issued in a few days.

The newspaper and sidewalk COM

from his temporary occupancy of
the editorial chair of The Citizen,
and his attitude toward Mr.. Wood,
the managing editor, has not yet
struck the true inwardness of the
situation. There need be no diff
Guilty, however, in explaining this.
1t is common to say of a man who
proceeds with his business unob-
trusively that he says nothing, but
saws wood" In the present case,
Pride saw Wood, but sawed no wood,
and finally. instead of saving wood
he cut Wood. Hence the vacant

IMMENSE POTATO CROP.
Increase of 100000 Barrels in Yield
From South Jersey.

From figures received from the
various shipping points it is estimated
that from south Jersey alone more
than 1000 carloads of poatoes will
be shipped this year.
This will bring to the farmers
more than $1,200,000 for their crop
of 100000 barrels. This is an in
crease over last year of 100000 bar
rels. The crop has returned to the
growers an average of S100 per
acre, which, after deducting the cost
of growing and marketing, shows a
nice profit.
The Farmers Exchange has trans

COMING THE FARMERS WAY.

The directors of the Consolidated
Milk Exchange, at a meeting held
Friday, in their offices in New York,
again advanced the price paid for
milk to farmers one-quarter of
cent a quart. The new price went
into effect on August 16, when farm
ers received 314 cents quart, or
$l.3O for forty Quart cans of milk.
This is the third increase received
by the farmers since June. On June
l they received "a cents a quart or
so cents a can; July l they received
raise of one-half cent, TO pa cents
quart, or S1.10 can; August they
got raise of one-quarter cent, to
cents a quart, or $1.20 can, and
Friday they received another quar-
ter cent. advance. According to
Joseph Laemmel, secretary of the
exchange, the farmers are not yet
receiving enough money to encour-
age them in the production of milk.
The Consolidated Milk Exchange
does not include the largest dealers
of milk in New York-the Borden
Condensed Milk Co. and the Sheffield
Farms-Slawson-Decker Co. AL
though these companies under con-
tract pay the farmers less than the
present exchange price. they are

dent of the Sheffield Farms COM

pay almost any price within reason

New York has a genuine octopus
not the homegrown, tariff made
species-but a real live octopus,
born in Bermuda waters and brought
here at great expense. 1t is located
at the Aquarium, only stones
throw from Wall street where the
brokers can come and get pointers
by studying its habits. Men are
kept busy pumping water into the
Octopus's tank, a process which ap-
peals to the stock brokers' sense of
humor. If the animal can stand
his surroundings he will obtain a
post of honor, such as is enjoyed
by only Hartman, Morgan and

the auto to Excelsiors for the trip
to Poughkeepsie, will not lose any
thing through the accident.
There has been talk that the
Samuel Parrott Dredging Co., of
Newburgh, which raised the auto
mobile from the river, would claim
salvage costs. This is not so, for
the dredging company was employed
by the ferry company to raise the
machine, and was paid $50 for the
job. This the Excelsiors have paid
or will pay.
1t is said that it will cost about
$3.50 to repair the automobile. 1t
is probable that the machine will be
sent back to the factory where it
will be made as good as new and be
returned to Mr.. Tighe.
