the valley. The name of the structure is
most appropriate, in that 1t makes OF the
dam a fitting monument to commemorate
forever the achievement of the nations
daring pioneer and explorer, Captain John
c.. Fremont, 1.-THE Pathfinder"
The North Platte irrigation project is
one OF tho largest so far undertaken by
tho government. From the Pathfinder
dam. at a point on the North Platte river,
about fifty miles southwest from Casper,
Wyo., to the farthest limits Of the irrigable
land in Nebraska, the distance is 500 miles.
and It 10 estimated that 1000 90 acres Of
land in Wyoming and Nebraska, or more
than double the total area of LAND cult
waited In the entire state OF Rhode Island,
will be divided in small farms and irrigated.
Tn comparison afforded by the following
table showing the dimensions, cost and
effectiveness Of the Pathfinder and three
large eastern dams. is most interesting:
Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-16

One hundred miles from the storage dam
a low diversion dam has been thrown
across the river, which turns the waters
into the interstate canal, to supply lands in
wyoming and Nebraska. This canal, when
completed, will be 100 miles long, but at
present only ninety-five miles have been
~excavated. 1t has a capacity at the head
gates Of Loo second feet. Hundreds of
miles of laterals nave been constructed to
distribute the water over the lands.
One OF the most attractive features Of
the valley is its sunny, invigorating eli
mate. The summers are always comfort
able and the winters are relatively mild.
The general elevation is about 1000 feet
above sea level. The soil is a rich, sandy
loan, with a crop producing capacity that
to the farmer OF the humid region seems
incredible. Oats yielding 100 bushels per
acre and weighing forty-five pounds to the
bushel have been grown, and the average
yield for the valley probably will exceed
sixty-five bushels. Three crops Of alfalfa
are cut during the year., often yielding five
tons to the acre, and fifty bushels of corn
per acre is a low yield. The region Is par
ticularly adapted TO the culture OF sugar
beets. AS high as twenty-eight tom per
acre have been produced per acre with a
sugar content of 15 per cent. Apples,
plums, small fruit and berries are grown
for home consumption. Vegetables bring
good prices, and the potatoes especially are
of superior quality.
Hog and poultry raising and bee culture
have proved very profitable. Back of the
valley and extending for hundreds of miles
is the vast public range, upon which Craze
many thousands Of cattle and sheep. There
is a heavy demand for forage crops for
winter feeding, and a large part of the
Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-16

irrigable lands will be profitably devoted
to these crops for many years.
Under the terms of the reclamation act
all Of the land under this project which
belongs TO the public domain is open to
entry under the homestead law in farms
of about eighty acres. Each settler is re-
quired to pay his share of the cost of build
ing the irrigation works. This moun to
$A5 per acre, payable in ten annual install
ments without interest.
Among all the great irrigation works
now under construction by the government,
none is richer in historical associations
than the North Platte project. 1t occupies
more than $50 miles of the old overland
trail which was followed by the California
gold seekers and by the Mormons in their
migration westward. The old highway is
~distinguishable in scores of places. With
an average width OF more than 100 feet 1t
stretches on mile after mile, now over
grown and only distinguishable from the
general surroundings by the difference In
vegetation. It's great width Is principally
due to the fact that the Mormens Travelled
In great companies, their wagons often
moving in a solid phalanX five or more
abreast. Besides the trail at numerous
points lonely headstones mark the raves
of those who persisted on that western
journey. To those who have read "The
Adventures Of Captain Bonneville"
Astoria" the discoveries OF Captain Free
mont, histories of Mormon emigrations and
of the Forty-niners, such fiction as 1.-The
Virginian," and the adventures Of Buffalo
Bill, this valley will be familiar and full of
interesting associations. But the greatest
change in all the history Of the
valley has been brought about by the
construction of the great irrigation sys-

tenn now we'll or it's way to completion.
Already the dreary monotony of plain and
sky has been broken, and thousands OF
homes and fields of green dot the land
scape. Lands which a few years ago were
valued at from 81 to S. per acre are increas-
ing rapidly in value and now sell readily
at from $50 to $50. Most of the land for
which water is now available is In private
ownership, but many of the farmers who
nave holdings in excess of that for which
the government will furnish a water right
must dispose of part Of their land at rea-
sonable prices.
To subdue the land one has but to turn
the sod. The soil is fertile, the water sup
ply practically unlimited. and the climate
delightful. All these combine to make the
life of the new conner a pleasant one. A
railroad extends the entire length of the
project, and the numerous towns along
this line nave more than doubled in popu-
lation since the initiation of the govern
ment irrigation project. The influx of thou
sands Of farmers to the valley has created
a demand for all classes OF labor. Mechan-
les are scarce, carpenters in demand, and
brick masons. plasterers, plumbers, black
smiths, and, in fact, all men with trades,
will find good openings in these rapidly
growing communities The manufacturer,
the banker and the merchant are also in
emand,
That these opportunities are not being
overlooked Is evidenced by the hundreds Of
letters OF inquiry which are being received
by the statistician Of the reclamation SER
vice at Washington. To meet the de-
mands of the homeseekers requiring infor-
nation the reclamation service has also
established offices at Denver and at Chi

Yes, according to the treaties, the goods

There are no Determinations In favor of
Japan, and indeed Japan has the worst of

tobacco. That is a monopoly in japan and
the government fixes the prices. Every
one knows what the merchants have to
pay for the Japanese tobaccos. Therefore
the American Tobacco company and others
can ship in their wares and undersel the

Man Who Rules Corea.

Viscount Some is we'll known as an ad-
ministrator. He has been several times in
the oabinet OF the mikado, and has been a
real working force in Corea. He knows ell
about the country; and. while conserv-
alive in his statements. evidently believes
that the japanese will be able to handle
It successfully. During my talk Of today
I asked him whether he thought the
Coreans were capable Of self-government.
He replied:
'They are not 50 now. All their tradi-
lions and training have been along the
lines of oppression and corruption. They
have been numerically squeezed by their
rulers and do not know hat good gov
eminent means. It will take some time
to educate them to It. We shall have to
teach them to crawl before they can walk.
and It win be years before they are able
to govern themselves"
Is 1t the idea OF Japan to make the coun-
try Independent
Eyes, when the conditions are such that
II can maintain an independence which will
be for the good OF the people and at the
same time not injurious to the interests
OF Japan"

Sanitary improvements.

I'VE are greatly improving the SAM
tary conditions of the country" continued
Viscount Some. This viii cut down the
death rate and, with better times, the
birth rate will grow. AS 1t is now the
people know almost nothing about taking
care Of their health. Smallpox occurs reg
ularly from year to year and little proven
ton is used to stop II. We nave estab-
lished vaccine farms and are ~vaccinating
the people as rapidly as possible. We find
1t very hard to do this, especially in the
country districts. The Coreans do not
understand what vaccination means ard
they are more afraid of It than of the
smallpox. These same conditions pre-
vailed at the time vaccination was intro
duced into Japan. 1t may interest you to
know that l was the first baby vaccinated
there. hat was fifty.eight years ago.
The vaccine matter took and 1 have never

ever. to be revaccinated every five years"
"How about your hospitals?"
w have, as you know, Just completed a
large one in Seoul. This now has 100 beds
and is thoroughly equipped in every re-
spect. There is a medical college connected
with 1t. and we expect to educate young
doctors who will practice throughout the
country. We are improving the chief cities
by cleaning them. You see What is going on
In Seoul: Similar work is being done in

concessions. and 1 asked his excellency
IL foreigners had any chance to make
money mining in Corea. He replied:
'They have as many opportunities as the
Japanese. The Minerals, with the excep-
ton of coal, are open to all. AS it is now,
some Of the most valuable mines are held
by Americans and there are a number Of
large concessions belonging to foreigners"
SIS the country rich, minerally?"
1T has minerals in many parts of it,"
said the resident general. but 1 believe
not in large quantities. Most of the mining
properties are small, and 80 far no great
and valuable discoveries outside OF the gold
and copper mines, have been made. Corea
contains, silver, gold, copper and iron.
There is considerable coal, but the supply
of fuel out here in the far east is so
limited that we lave special regulations
concerning it,"
els there enough coal and iron to make
Corea an Industrial countryY"

ourselves many of the things which we

Arasuke Some, the man who. In the alb
sence OF Prime Ito, is acting as the real
ruler OF this land of Corea. On my way
there l passed the palace in which the re-
tired emperor is practically Imprisoned,
and as I went on through the Japanese
quarter and climbed the hill l could see
the palaces of the present emperor over the
great plan of tiled roofs composing the
city. I rave already described my audi
ence with him and given you some idea of
his mental caliher. He Is merely a figure
head, and has no power whatever outside
OF his immediate court. The man / met
today is under the direct control of the
emperor of Japan. and he is now exercis-
ing supervision over all affairs in Corea,
The country is nominally governed by the
local officials, but they act as the resident
general directs, and neither appointments
nor dlsmissals can be made without his
consent.
BY the agreement between japan and
Corea, when the emperor was deposed and
his son put in his place, It was stipulated
that the resident general should reform the
administration and that the government
Of Corea should not enact any law or do
any important thing without his approval.
It was provided that 1t should appoint
Japanese to such official positions as the
foreigner should be engaged without his
consent. In short, 1t meant the turning
over Of the Corean government almost alb
solutely into the hands OF Japan, and this
is the condition today.

trouble. 1t might support more"
"In that case YOU will have ar outlet

ITO some extent, yes; but, 80 far the
japanese farmers do not seem anxious to
come to Corea. The methods of cultiva-
ton are different here. as are also the
soil and conditions of life, We have been
encouraging immigration, but as yet have
not had many of the farming class. A
great deal of the undeveloped land lies in
the northern part OF the country. Tie
farming there is more like that of the
United States and our people do not take
to 1t. Indeed, I expect to see a growth

here. It is the same with the exports.
japan is taking more n more of the
products of Corea every year, and about
three-fourths Of all the country sells now
comes to II. The greater part Of this
trade consists of agricultural crops and
fish, the surplus Of which is used in Japan.
The biggest export is that of rice. which in
1907 amounted to in the nelghborhood OF
100000.
How about your trade with America"
"Your exports to Corea were over 3,O00,-
900 yen last year, and this is just a little
under what Corea bought from China and
1000, 900 yen less than what 1t bought from
Great Britain. 1t is only one-ninth Of
what was bought from Japan"
in COrea.
On my way back from the residency gen.
eral I looked at the tobacco stores and the
American goods sold in them. Our to-
baccos are far more popular here than
those of Japan, and the American clga-
rette promises to drive out the old Corean
pipe. These people are great smokers. I
see little boys of 10 and II with pipes In
their mouths. and one Of the most common
sights on the streets is a half dozen or
more men in long white gowns and big
hats, squatting on their heels and smoking
pipes which rave reed stems about four
feet In length. Some OF these pipes are
so long thai a servant has to be kept to
light them, as g. man cannot reach to the
bowl with the pipe in his mouth. The
bowls of the Corean pipes hold about as
much as a thimble. They are usually brass.
The mouthpieces are Of the same metal.

tho Russians did likewise. The result Is
that the people suspect our sincerity.
They clnnot believe that their rights and
property are not to be taken away from
them, or that their country is not even
tually to be a second japan. II will take
"a long time to eradicate these suspicious,
and It cannot be done by pronunciamentos
and speeches. II will have to be accom-
pllshed by works. and that Is what we
propose to do. We shall build roads, es-
tablish industries and Introduce improved
agricultural methods. We have already
wiped out most Of the corrupt courts,
