United States, Alaska included, about
one-third live in the 10 original states,

the original states, and the remaining
third are in the area acquired by pur-

WYOMING LAND OPEN MAY 20.
Beautifully Located Areas Free From
Billiards. and Tornadoes.

Large areas of valuable farming
lands in one of the most beautiful val
leys in the west, a region described
by government experts as of wonder
full scenic grandeur, Of exceeding fer
tility and free from tornadoes, biz
yards or other severe storms, will be
opened to settlers on May %.
The lands are situated in the Sho-
shone irrigation project, which eventu-
ally will reclaim 100000 acres east of
the Yellowstone National park in
northern Wyoming.
The farms are to be offered for set
Element under the homestead law, sub
ject to the charge of actual cost Of
supplying water to the land, which has
been fixed at SAG an acre, payable in
not more than ten annual instruments,
with no interest requirements. The
settler, however, will be required TO
pay annually 81 per acre for the opera
tion and maintenance of the irrigation
system.
The engineering features are of un-
usual interest. Just below the junction
of the north and south forks the Sho-
shone river flows through a canyon
of solid granite with almost perpen-
dicular walls several hundred feet high,
in the narrowest portion of which the
government is constructing a dam
which, it is said, will exceed in height
any other structure of its kind in the
world.
1t is only So feet wide at the bottom
and 200 feet long on top, but its height
is 1884 feet, or 4s feet higher than
the Flatiron building in New York.
The reservoir formed by this dam will
cover an area of 10 square miles to a
depth of 20 feet and will contain suf-
ficient water to cover $4,000 acres of
land one foot in depth.

FOURTH DRY-FARMINa CONGRESS-
Meets at Billings, Montana, October
26, 1909.


The International Exposition of Dry
Farm Products will be held during Con-
gress week at Billings. Thirteen western
states and territories, two Canadian
provinces, Mexico and Russia will send
exhibits
Seventeen states and ten foreign
countries viii have delegates at this
congress.
In the west 2OO,000,000 acres of ara
bic land awaits development by dry
farming methods. Texas has 25,000,-
600; Montana, Colorado and Wyoming,
so 100000; New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Utah, Idaho and Arizona over 6o,0oo,-
900.
Experts estimate that in ten years
every drop of water available for irri
cation viii be utilized. For every acre
irrigated there will be so acres of dry
farm land when irrigation possibilities
are exhausted. To this land the future
homeseeker must come.
In 1900 dry farm land in the west
averaged fifty cents to $3.50 an acre.
Increased valuation where dry farming
has been demonstrated shows that with
in ten years this 200,000,000 acres will
be held at $40 to $50 an acre. Dry
farming means an increase in western
land values, at a conservative estimate,
of approximately FIVE billion dollars.
The dry farming congress teaches
farmers how to conserve moisture by in
telligent cultivation, educates them in
soil culture and seed selection and
guides inexperienced settlers in methods
that bring them their share of the har-
vest profit. 1t extends the limit of
producing area to the limit of acreage
in arid and semi-arid regions, and,
therefore, is the keystone upon which
the future prosperity of the great west
is established.

Jews Wed Jews His Plea.

New York, May 1O.-Dr. Leon Har-
rison of Temple Israel stoutly opposed
the intermarriage of Jews and Chris
tians in a sermon Sunday at the Free
synagogue. Fusion, he said, would re-
suit only in confusion, while "inter-
marriage would simply mean not that
the vast majority would be drawn to
Israel, but that we of Israel would be
overwhelmingly merged and lost in
Christendom.

May Lose River and Harbor Cash.

Unless congress takes specific action
at the special session now in progress
nearly 100000 appropriated for
river and harbor improvements in vari-
Gus sections of the United States will
covered back into the national treas
ury, much to the chagrin of many con
gressmen and senators.
This situation arises over the "cov-
ering back" section of the sundry civ
il appropriation bill, approved on March
4, which provides that all unexpended
balances of appropriations that re-
manned on the treasury books June 1,
1909, except permanent specified APP
preparations, judgments and findings of
courts and trust funds and appropri-
ations for fulfilling treaty obligations
with the Indians, be carried to the
surplus fund and covered back into the
treasury, "provided that the money is
not needed to pay existing treaties. -
To meet the situation, Senator Bur
ton has introduced a resolution pro-
viding that the section of the sun
dry civil bill in question shall not be
construed as applying to the unexpend-
ed balances in river and harbor appro-
priations which may be essential in the
judgment of the secretary of war, for
the maintenance and prosecution of
the work for which it was appropriated.
Among the appropriations that will
revert are: Mouth of the Columbia
river, Oregon, $4,000; entrance to
Coos bay, Ore, $4,000; restraining
barriers, Sacramento, and Feather
rivers, California, $4,000, and har-
Dor at Tacoma, $1,000.
