While trapping for gophers a few
days ago, Uncle Oliver Jones, col ,
caught a large salamander in a
steel trap, and was very much sur
prised as well as startled when it
was brought to light. AS the sal
amander only inhabits damp and
and shady places, it is supposed
this one entered the run of the go
,pher and followed it to Uncle Oil
vel's garden, where it was'caaght.
By many, the gopher and sala-
mander is supposed to be the same
thing; but there is vast difference.
The gopher belongs to the same
family as the prairiedog, while the
saamander belongs to the lizard
family. The salamander is black
with bright yellow spots, and is
about eight inches long when fully
grovns; it is covered with a slime
that IS intensely cold, and by a
great many is supposed to be I'M

idea Of its poisonous nature, have
been exploded, and it is now known
to be perfectly harmless except tc

where the railroads and electrical
power companies of the country. as
well as spectators, have been at work
in recent years grabbing up all the
water power in sight. This policy
will be the policy of the new secre-
tary.
The director of the geological sur
vey has assured the secretary that
the temporary Withdrawals of water
power sites already made from data
IN the possession of the survey, to-
gether with such as VIII be hereafter
be made prior to the convening of
congress, will be ample to protect all
the more important water-power sites
undisposed of on the public domain
and enable congress to legislate intel
ligently for their disposition
Five of the eleven Withdrawals al
ready made include all the power sites
available in the areas that were with
drawn by Secretary Garfield and re-
stored to entry by Secretary Balling-
ers. The present Withdrawals, how

age, une-sixth or less of the areas of
the corresponding earlier withdraw
ais. This reduction has been made
possible in part by omission of lands
patented or reserved prior to the
original Withdrawals, but more largely
essential or useful to power develop
ment The vacated Withdrawals in
cluded such large areas of public land
of possible agricultural or mineral
value at such distances from the riv-
ers as to have absolutely no connec-
ton with the future development of
the water resources. On the other
hand, the revised Withdrawals in the
same regions in some instances cover
power-sites missed by the earlier ac-
| ton Thus in the case of the Salmon
river in Idaho, where the original
withdrawal totaled $50 acres, that
based upon the recent recommends
| ton of the geological survey includes
! 55.T00 acres. A similar reduction
holds for the Owyhee~fiver in Oregon,
and in even greater measure for the
Flathead and the Missouri and tribu-
taries in Montana.
All the recommendations by the ge-
illogical survey have been based upon
official data already on file The
streams in these states having been
maintained for a series of years for
the purpose of determining the water
available for irrigation. The topo-
graphic surveys which have been con
