HOW THE GOVERNMENT HELPS.
The work of the staff experts
maintained by the federal gov
eminent is of so far reaching a
character that few realize its i'm
pOrtance.
Through the work of the Re
clamatiOn Service, millions of
acres of desert land have been
supplied with the water that
alone was needed.to make them
productive. Over $4,000, 900
have been dispersed up to this
time and the results have pro
ven the wisdom of the eXpendi-
ture. The men who have done
this vast work will be present
to tell by word and picture how
the waste places were reclai med
and made to produce wealth and
comfort for the enjoyment of
man.
The Bureau Of Plant Industry
also will be represented and the
marvellous results obtained by
the explorers who have pene-
trated the most remote regions
in search of new plants to inn
prove the native varieties, will
be shown. In one year these
men sent to the Bureau for ex-
pertinent over 1900 varieties of
seed and plants new to America.

LAND HUNGER.
The return to the soil" is on
in earnest, and the demand for
farm land is becoming more in
sistent every day. Time was
when a farm could be had for a
song, but that time has past.
Today desirable acres command |
high prices in all the more thick
~ settled sections. and the land |
hungry man looks to the newly |
developed country for profitable
investment. The Panhandle or
Plains country of Texas has a
soil that is attractive. Here a
few acres are sufficient to sup
port family, and, properly de-
veloped, is better than any in
surance policy ever written.
The methods of preparing the
soil. cultivating and developing
fully. the possibilities of a few
acres will be shown at the Chi
cago show.
The broad acres of the Pan
handle and Plains of Texas, the |
Las Vegas country in New Mex
ico-all are attracting attention.
The products grown there, with |
normal rainfall, plus scientific |
soil culture, compares favorably |
with the best grown elsewhere. |
This modern soil culture, the
tools used by the dry farmer,
and the results obtained, all will
be set forth for and illustrated
at the Land and Irrigation show.
NEW FRUITS.
The triumph of the plant
breeder, who, through careful

Two Charges Against LeWkoWitz--
Being Open After Hours and Hav-
ing Booths in BarrOOm.
EXPECT DRY SUNDAY TOMORROW

Edward Lewkowitz, forty years
old, proprietor of a saloon at 500
State street, was held under $500
bonds by Recorder Pickersgill this
morning to await the action of the
grand jury on charge of violating
the Bishops law by having two
booths in his barroom. He was also
fined $40 for not properly exposing
his barroom at IL o'clock Wednesday
night.
Patrolman Charles Quinn made
both charges The policeman said
that it was 12:45 O'Clock Thursday
morning before the window curtains
in the saloon were let down. The
saloonkeepers denied that the curtains
were up at that time, but admitted
that he had not exposed the barroom
until at least 1915 o'clock. He de-
clared that he hade witnesses who
could prove It. The witnesses were
not present, however
The saloonkeeper declared that he
wanted the case to go to the grand
Jury as he did not think the fine just.
He said that there were other saloon
keepers on the street who violated
the law, but he would not name them
when questioned by the recorder.
After the saloonkeeper had argted
the matter with the court, Patrolman
Quinn said that this was not the first
time that the man had failed to ex-
pose his barroofn. and that he want
ed to make charge against him for
having two booths. The recorder
drew up the complaint and Lewko-
witt, when 1t was read to him, plead
ed guilty. The recorder gave the
saloonkeeper until tonight to furnish
$500 bail for the grand jury and un-
til Monday to pay the $40 fine.
Chief Burke, few days ago, gave
all his men strict orders to report
every excise violation, and Lewkowitz
was the first one to be caught. Chief
Burke said that the man who ran the
saloon before had been made to re-
move the booths from the barroom,
but that Lewkowitz had put them up
again The police will be on the
lookout. for violations tomorrow and
it is beIieved that it win be one of
the drysst Sundays the city has ever
experienced.

NO CAUSE FOR SCARE
OVER THE CONTACION

The Board of Health reported this
morning that no new cases of small
fpOy were reported today, and that there
we're no suspicious cases under observa-
tion. There is absolutely no founda-
tion for the many wild and exaggerated
rumors that are coming in from out Of
town. The few cases of smallpox that
still exist are well In hand. No one has
been seriously i'll with the disease and
the first cases are practically all re-
covered. The health authorities have
the matter well in hand and expect,
with a short time, to report normal
existing again. The people
are going about their business as usual
and the only scare seems to be on the
part of those who live in neighboring
places and who prefer to listen to wild
reports instead Of getting the facts.

To MAKE THIRD FLOOR
OF CITY HALL USEFUL
Aldermen MAY Take Action in In
ter0stS of Health Dept and
City Engineer
THE SUGGESTION is FAVORED

At committee Jession Of the Board
Of Aldermen last night the question Of
Temodeling the third floor Of the city
hall was brought up for discussion. Az
present the Board Of Health only have
small room on the second floor and
some of the aldermen think that the
third floor of the building could ba
fitted up for about 81 500 so as to make
excellent quarters for the department.
The plan discussed last night was to
give the health department half Of the
third floor and use the other part for
the office Of the city engineer.
The third floor of the city hall Is NOT
in use at all at present and before il
could be occupied much remodeline
would be necessary. The idea is to ft
up half of the third Hoor so that the
health department conld have aIabra-
tory, meeting room and ofhce If II iH
done the room on the second floor now
occupied by the department could be
used for something else The city en-
gineer, s. J. Mason, has no Office In
the city hall at present and the alder
men believe that half of the third floor
would, If fixed up, make excellent
quarters
New Dumping Ground.
The garbage question was also dis
eussed, as Monday night bids will be
received for removing the same. The
bidders viii submit their figures accord
ing to specifications and 1t is believed
on account Of certain reqniremeRts. ,sirat
the proposals will be considerably high
er than lsst year.
The Second street dump will not be
used any more and the successful bidder
must dump all the garbage he collects
in place away from the thickly popu-
lated part Of the city, aud which is sp.
proved by the Board Of Aldermen.
