if not, would the objection be removed by the addition of pasturage rights as suggested by the foregoing question?

 out the purposes of the reclamation act2 f
 Answer-We approve the plan sug- gestcd by President Taft for a liberal appropriation to the cause of national irrigation, to be repaid from the money received from the sale of public lands , in the states and territories comprised
 in the national irrigation act.
 At the conclusion of the. foregoing recital Senator Carter conducted a | searching cross examination of several gentlemen. designed evidently to bring i out the facts on which the conclusions 1 in the answers were based. Judge | Kibbey being already on the floor. was | taken as the first witness and proved | a good one As long as the questions
 pertained to the legal phase of the ! situation and he was also able to give i some valuable information concerning i crops and farming. but the senator | finally led him out into the deep wa | ter of details and' he suggested to the senator that others could tell it bet i-ter than he could.
 | It is impossible to recte the facts
 of this examination on account of their | volume Nor is it particularly inter I esting to home readers. as the discus | sion was. of matters with which | they are familiar. for there was little or no difference of opinion among the home people. The questions were all | framed to enlighten the senators on the cost and value of lands the cost ! of raising the many diversified pro l ducts. and the yield in quantity and value. the net profits under past. pres
 ent and probable future conditions Most of these questions had a bear | ing on the more important matters of | the size of the farm unit and the pos ] sibiIitv of the farmers being able to

 fall due Senators Jones and Warren paid close attention and aided in the interrogating when the ground had not been fully covered by Chairman Car ter or when they were in doubt as to answers. In this manner NIT. Trotter. A well known orange grower. was also interrogated and for the time the questioning stopped.
 President Fowler then told the com mittee that Captain C. M. Etter rep resented a committee that had for mulated another set of answers and he was called upon. He requested J. P. Ivy to act in his stead. as he could not see well enough to read by lamp light Mir. Ivy presented d list of an swers in printed form. together with verbal explanations. As mentioned above in essence there was little diff ference between these answers and the others except in the matter of farm unit. especially for homesteads, and the question of paying for the reser- voir. The arguments in support of these contentious are too well known to need reiteration here. There were

It then wanted about twenty minutes of train time and there was a great desire to hear from the sen ators. Senator Carter said in part; Senator Carter's Speech,
 Tn the few brief moments I have will not attempt to speak in thes line of current euloGy; the valley speaks for itself to every casual observer. The government has entered on the task of making available all the water and has

The president has sad that he would stand for a s1O.- 0OO. 900 bond issue He is great big hearted man and have no doubt he would stand for twice or three times that amount, but if we agree to it there will be a necessary provision at tached that the proceeds of the re- claimed lands shall go into the treas ury to eventually pay the bonds. in stead Of being paid back into the re lamation fund for reinvestment and a widening of the work of reclamation IT that is done the reclamation fund would pass out of existence. probably never to be re-established again.

There is no division of sentiment as to the fertility of your valley and some day it will all be irrigated. You have one of the largest and most per feet projects and are now away out of the woods as compared with most of them None of the big ones are as far along as yours And the best of it is that il is well advanced in all its features.

shortage of gas NJ. Nassr brought out
the elephant" a smaller balloon in
which gas is stored, and filed the large
balloon to its capacity. Soon everything
was ready and MIR. Nassr made short
spcech in which he said that he knew he
was subject to much criticism but that the
pubHc did not realize how much good
lust n word Of announcement would do
for him. because he really meant to do
the right thing by the public and would
show them so before he left TINS city.
His engine was soon started and he was
off into the air shooting to the north.
He soon changed his direction and was
rircling to the south, with the eyes OF
several thousand people fxed intently on
him. lie swooped towards the ground,
DOTTED his hat to the crowd and was soon
pgain in the heights. The ship went
south as far as the Ferari show ground
where Mr.. Nassr had previously an
nounced he would land. and sure enough
he did and there was soon a crowd to
greet him there for automobiles and
vehicles Of all kinds plunged down Shell

te middle Of the show ground and after
repairing n few braces Mr.. Nassr was
ready to be off again. Again he was

account Of the height of the fences

We're ready to catch the balloon when it
descended just north of the show
grounds and when the enCino was again

the final flight Of the day. on account
Of the lack Of gas the ship was forced to
rise at such an angle that the chain flew
from the sprocket and the machine made
clean descent in front Of the home of
Mrs. IIoratio Hickok. The cir ship was
taken back TO the aerodrome because of
the lack of oxygen in the balloon.

GOOD SENSE AND GOOD LAW.
(From the New York Evening POST

AttorneY-General understands deci-
sion to discontinue the government suit
against the New Haven and Boston &,
Maine railroads, is certainly good sense
and presumably good law, The situation
has radically altered since tho suit was
first brought Local authorities have
largely done what the federal power was
invoked to do The New Hayen's acqui-
s.uon of trolley lines has been iudcally
pronounced illegal, and the company is
getting rid Of those properties. AS for
the merger of the two railway systems,
there never was fair ground for assert
ing that their lines, except IN n few min
or nlaments, We're parallel and Compel
ing. Public sentiment in New England
was IN favor of the union, chiefly for
the purpose of bringing fresh capital and
better management to the Boston e.
Maine And now the state OF Massach-
setts has Deliberately sanctioned the
merger. under carcfully-drawn restric-
tions. rcserving to the Legislature close
control over the financial operations. At
