When former Governor John II.
McGraw turned the first shovelful
OF earth at the portage between
Lakes Union and Washington, near
the south entrance to the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc Exposition, actual
work on the ship canal, which will
make Lake Washington a part of
the harbor of Seattle, was started.
This project is of national impor-
lance. as it is a part of the progra m
embraced in the system of rivers
and harbors improvements fostered
by congress. The federal govern
ment will bear portion of the ex-
pense. The event was celebrated
with suitable ceremonies.

The writer has made some OBJ
servations regarding the growth of
timber, which lead him to believe
that growing timber will pay. [
have found trees 1876 years old So
inches in diameter on the stump,
that cut over 5000 feet of mercha Mt
able timber. The annual growth
showed these trees were "a inches
on the stump at 40 years and at
that time should cut 900 feet Of
lumber. From my observations,
extending over several sections of
timber, 100 trees 16 to Is inches in
diameter eau be grown on each
acre in 40 years and these will
make 10000 feet of merchantable
timber; these same trees will cut
$4,000 feet at the end of 1875 years.
The question is, What will be the
value of this 10000 feet of timber
grown on an acre in 40 years, or
the $4,000 feet grown on an acre in
125 years? [ hazard a guess that
10000 feet of standing timber will
be worth IS per 1000 in 40 years.
and that an acre of land planted to
fir trees will earn Sc per year for
the entire period, not counting the
small trees that can be taken out
and utilized for wood, posts and
poles during the 40 years.

TWO PROPOSITIONS
TO AID IRRIGATION
CONGRESS MAY DECIDE NEXT
WINTER.
MONEY is NEEDED At ONCE
Bonds May Be Issued, or Law to
Lease Grazing Lands in the
West Passed.

Washington, Nov. lit will be up
to congress to determine next winter
whether or not bonds shall be issued
by the government to raise $4,000
600 or more to hasten the completion
of federal irrigation projects now I'M
der way. 1t has become evident that
without some such assistance, work
on many of the projects will drag
along indefinitely. There is only $l0.-
100000 available, and there is imme-
date demand for $25,00O,O00. Unless
some method is provided for increas-
ing the amount to be expended next
season, the work of the reclamation
service will be seriously crippled, and
many settlers now residing on un-
finished projects will be subjected to
more or less hardship.
If congress is unwilling to author
ize bond issue in order to raise adj
ditional funds with which to hasten
the completion of government irri-
cation projects now under way, there
are other means of raising revenue
which may prove less Objectionable.
Foremost among them is to adopt a
practical system of leasing the public
grazing lands of the west. 1t is
roughly estimated that there are ESQ.,
100000 acres of public grazing land
in the west, which today yields no
revenue, and which likewise is for
the most part without government
regulation of any sort.

SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY

Chicago, Dec. 24.-The evolution OF
Chicago's public school system as
forecast by school architect D. II.
Perkins is to consist of two principal
stages of development in the next
fifty years.
The first is to be increased hight of
school buildings, and the second near
the close of the semi-centennial
period will be perfect system of
transportation which will permit the
moving of the schools 'out into the
country"
I'VE will shoot the children out
through pneumatic tubes every morn
ing, away from the dirt and noise of
the city, into fields. groves and parks
to school," was the architects enthus-
iastic prophecy. And in the evening
We will shoot them back again."
The architect insisted that this
prophecy is not a mere utopian vision,
but is the result of a study Of school
conditions and the work of providing
school sites and buildings for the
board of education. 1t was prompted
by a discussion of an annual report
of the school board of New York city
which has been received in Chicago.
Eight Stories in New York.
New York is building schools eight
stories high now" he said. They
have been building them six stories
for years, while the highest We have
in Chicago is four stories. There is
economy in high buildings where sites
are expensive. We will be forced to
adopt the higher building, and within
the next twenty years l shall not be
surprised to see ten-story school build
ings in Chicago.
Fifty years from now we will have
perfected a system of transportation

town in the morning children will be
sent out to the schools. which will be
on the outskirts of the city. In the
evening the children will be brought
back and they will not be on crowded
street cars. The transportation will
solve the problem of expensive school
Sites"
Some Figures Of Cost.
Mr.. Perkins pointed out that the
cost of the average six-story school
building In New York, containing
eighty-five classrooms and $500 seats,
is $523.00O. while the new four-story
buildings in Chicago, with an average
of thirty rooms and 1900 seats. are to
be erected at a cost of 100000 each.
New York had in 1908 an invest
ment in school sites and buildings
amounting to 1922 100000, while Chi.
cago's investment amounts to 100000
600. New York has little more than
double Chicago's school population.
The total disbursements of the New
York school board for the year 1908
amounted to $36.S4O,OOO while that of
Chicago for the same year was ap-
proximately $12.O00.000. New York
spent to increase school plants &c.
$4,000. while Chicagos building fund
for schools is 100000 a year.

not sufficient room in it's present quar-
