knew them. He ran around the rep

and climbed tree.
He was found at 4 o'clock. The keep

put fresh meat at the bottom Of the
tree; he looked at that, but remained
in the tree.

tree dish Of fish that smelled far
higher than the Admiral. Reckless Of

TELLS STATES HOW
TO GUST TRUSTS

Paducah, KY, July 1O.-State con-
troll of corporations doing an interstate
business was discussed in an address
before the State Bar Association by
Attorney General Wickersham here.
The address, considered as outlining
the attitude of the national admins
tration toward trusts, was notable
chiefly for its recommendation that
congress should enact law providing
for nationally created corporations to
carry on interstate commerce.
An important feature was the speak
er's effort to show the separate states
how they may control the business of
the foreign corporations in their limits.
1T has seemed. to me-" he said,
that an effective method of legislat-
ing On this subject would be to enact
such laws that no foreign corporation
should be licensed to do business with
In state if so per cent of it's capital
stock or upwards were owned or held
by any other corporation, domestic or
foreign, and that if at any time after
the obtaining Of such license, more
than 5O per cent of the capital stock
OF such corporation had been acquired
by another corporation the license
should be ipso facto vacated.
The device of the holding corpora
ton Is the only thing that has made
possible the rapid growth of great
trusts"

SASKATCHEWAN PROVINCE
NOW OWNS TELEPHONES

On June 80 the telephone system of
the province of Saskatchewan passed
out of the hands Of private companies
and will now be under the control of
the province The deisrability of the
public control of telephones has been
SO decidedly held in this new province
that special governmental action was
taken to oversee the situation and the
officials chosen to do this we're placed
on all equal footing with those super
vising railways the result being that
a department of railways and tele-
phones has been in existence for some
little time, and under it's direction this
absorption of the lines has been man
aged.
The price paid is understood to be
favorable from public viewpoint.
The property includes 348 miles Of
long distance wires, four exchanges
and 81 toll stations There are only
four cities in this new province, but
there are 80 towns and "a villages,
which, being scattered over an extern
sive area depend greatly upon their
telephone connections for sociability as
we'll as for business arrangements.
The area of Saskatchewan is about
260, 600 square miles-larger than Ger
many.

IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
ON OKANOGAN RIVER

Okanogan, July 10-With the devel-
opment of various gravity irrigation
systems throughout this part of the
state there is also coming into vogue
along the Okanogan river the scheme of
pumping water from the stream and
irrigating the broad stretches of low
lands that otherwise are of little value,
as the character of the soil is usually
such that irrigation is necessary in Or
der to get good returns for the farmer
In the vicinity of Okanogan there are
large number Of old ranches that
have heretofore been used for pasture
or hay land whose owners are now put
ting in pumping plants and lifting wa
ter from the river for irrigation pur-
poses. These lands are largely being
cut up into small tracts and put on the
market. They readily sell at from $2Oe
to $500 per acre and are being utilized
for fruit growing and intensive farm
ing generally.

;s not resered nor claimed by anyone TOT
anv use whatever. Thereare 500, ooo'-
600 acres of such land in Alaska.
A section of the publication devoted
TO irrigation shows the reader what an
immense amount of help the federal
government is extending to the state
of Washington in retaining It's aria

cation projects under construction by
the government in Washington which,
when completed, will represent an ex-
