RETALIATION WORK.
Irrigated Lands Offer Oppor-

Washington, Oct. N.-Upward of $1,000. 600
has been added to the wealth of the West
through the products of the soil on recla-
nation service works. This does not take
into account, of course, the enormous in
crement In land values which has been the
direct result Of reclamation.
This is really the first year in which nota-
bic returns have been made. II is now
seven years since the reclamation act was
passed. In this period surveys and exam
nations have been carried on throughout
the Western half of the United States.
Large projects have been laid out and the
most important structures have been built
to a point where 76sy00O acres have been sup
piled with water. or brought to a condition
where settlers, by proper application to the
Land Office, can Immediately take the
water TO their fields.
The work is much in advance of the
needs of the people. for out of the 10000
acres applications for water rights have
been received for only $4,000 acres, leaving
34S, 900 acres with water ready for the
plough. The great problem, therefore. is no
longer that of engineering, but how to pun
this land into the hands of the men VINO

crops. The approximate investment in TN.

more than 100000 and in one sense this
amount is locked up until farmers apply
for the water and return TO the government
their share of the money invested in recla-
nation work.
A considerable portion of this irrigabe
land is embraced in four projects now COM
pleted in Montana. Wyoming and Nevada.
The chief engineer of the reclamation SER
vice predicts that with the excellent har-
vests on the irrigated lands this year it
will not be many months before the unutil-
lied areas will be taken up and put in
crops.

room for a new elevator. Elliott Woods,

over every available part of the building,
and cannot find place large enough to
put the painting. No pictures have been
hung in the office building. but if space
cannot be found in the Capitol. Mr.. Woods
may be forced to hang 1t there.
The painting Is by w. F. Hakall, and de-
picts the fight between the Merrimac and
