Far from being convinced that a
fourteen-foot channel is deeper and
more expensive than necessary, and
that nine-foot channel would serve
every purpose. the central valley or
CARNATIONS have been studying the
German river systems. and are con-
WINGED that they can make their case
for the deep channel stronger and more
plausible than ever before, on the basis
of arguments from German experience.
Senator Burton is devotee of the
theory that if German commerce can
be carried on six feet and less of water,
nine feet ought to be satisfactory for
the Mississippi river system. He has
pointed out that many thousands of
miles of nine-foot channels, uniform
and available for all classes of craft
up to that draft. could be developed in
the system of the Mississippi and its
tributaries; and it is pretty we'll known
that he is going to try to bring the
waterways commission to his way of
thinking about the matter. Burton has
small patience with the idea of making
"a channel for great ocean going ships

tingent squarely takes issue with

Whether there shall be authorization
of great bond, issue to do all this
work, is another question on which
division is certain to be sharp.
Irrigation and Reclamation.
The irrigation and recla ANA ton prob
lem is likewise coming in for more de-
tailed consideration than it has had
since the passage of the reclamation
act. This involves intimately the ad-
ministration of this bureau under Gar
field and under Balinger The west
has made perfectly plain in the last
few months that it is for the Garfield
system. This development has come
as a surprise to many national pub
licists. For years every session of
congress has brought an outburst from
senator's like Hepburn, Perkins. Car
ter and others, in violent criticism of
Garfield, the forest service, etc, that
many have been brought to suspect
that this administration was hopelessy
unpopular in the west, where the actual
work was being done. But the Bal
| linger- Pinchot controversy brought a
crisis in which the voice of western
public opinion made itself heard
in no uncertain fashion, and actual
expressions of press and public have
been compiled which indicate that
more than S. per cent of the west is
firmly committed to-the Garfield New
ell-Pinchot policies This has been a
revelation to many eastern people, who
/ had supposed the INSTRUMENTATION
senators and representatives actually
had their people behind them. The eX-
| PLANTATION now offered and generally
accepted is that these congressional
critics of the conservation work in gem
eral represent, not the public senti-
lnent of their states. but the big and
powerful interests which find the con-
servation program interfering wi Il
their plans for private profits.

REMARKABLE LAND RISE.
An Example Of Increased Values in
aiack Hawk County.

Waterloo, Oct 6.-More to be desired
than gold mines are Iowa farm lands.
which are themselves inexhaustible
treasures, yielding year after year a
golden stream of money. The price Of
agricultural lands has gone up until
$3.50 to SITS an acre for lands favor
ably located is not unusual. The latest
example of increased price of farm
rather remote from large population
centers is afforded by the sale this
week of the George Bolte place in Mt.
Vernon township to an Illinois party
for $185 an acre. The place consists Of
100 acres, and was bought twelve years
ago by Mr.. Bolte for $50 an acre. be-
ing an increase of $s5. The nearest
town is GAINESVILLE. Several Illinois
men have come here this fall to look
up land.

 Far out in the waters of the Pacific ocean, south of Prince William sound, is a low, flat body of land known as Middleton island. Middleton is seven miles long and about three miles wide and is said to be the garden spot of Alaska. This island is the habitat of Middleton" Smith, the sole occu- pant who is monarch of all he surveys in this little kingdom. In 1899, Will liam Germanson, an oldtime prospec- tor of the Cassiar country, landed on Middleton, and discovering gold in the huge bluff of conglomerate which skirts the southern shore, he covered the entire island with ninety-odd placer claims. He built cabin of driftwood and cultivated garden in which he grew potatoes, turnips and sweet peas, celery, strawberries, and an endless variety of flowers, so that when Smith came ashore from whaler, in 1904, Germanson had no difficulty in persuading him to stay and share his domain. In the fall of 1907, German son went to Valdez with nearly S5,000 in gold dust, and having purchased ten tons of supplies, shipped them to- Neuchek, where he intended to get a schooner to take the goods to Middle ton. He was taken sick at Valdez and went to Juneau, where he died. Last spring Smith came to Valdez to look up his partner, but soon returned to his island home, where he engages in the culture of the blue fox and, inci- dentally, washes out the gold as the waves disintegrate the conglomerate on the beach.-Ex.
