The Increase In Net Debt I'm 1905.
The increase in the net debt for the
fiscal year 1908 was $1S5,S77,S56, as
compared with a similar increase for
1907 of 1920. 93O.e31, more than three
fourths of which increase is credited
to the I6 largest cities, and nearly one
half of which is credited to New York
City.

population increasing their net debt by
more than 100000 were Los An
geles. s6,395.25i. and Portland Me. So

debt was incurred by the water dis
trict.
During the year 35 cities reduced

The only cities of over 100,0 900 popu-
were Washington. d. c.; Kansas City.

The report states that in any discus
sion of Indebtedness 1t should be re-

expended on public service enterprises
should be taken into consideration

What Cooperation viii DO.


An experiment which has been
conducted by employees of the
Chicago Tribune should prove of in
terest to many other newspaper
workers and others. Three years
ago the Tribune employees organized
what they termed the Tribune EN-
ployees' Savings bank. although it
is not a regularly organized banking
institution. It has no paid officers ex-
oept the financial secretary, who ge-s
small sum for keeping the books
The bank was organized by the en-
ployees themselves, and, while it had
the encouragement of the Tribune
company, the latter was in no way
responsible for it, The employees
own all the stock and in them is
vested the exclusive management.
Each share Of stock was issued at n
par value of $3.50. to be paid for
in installments of 25 cents a week
for so weeks. Not even the manag-
ing editor was permitted to subscribe
for more than 10 shares, for which
he paid $3.50 a week, while the
Office boy got in on the ground floor
by taking four shares at 81 a week.

be of value. Most of it, he said, was
written in the language of the
scientist, which is incomprehensible
to the average farmer He told the
secretary that the representatives Of
the railroad companies who are en-
couraging settlement in the west and
that farmers generally condemned
these publications as being almost
valueless because of their technical
language. He urged the secretary
to revise the nature of reports here
after issued and to leave out all
scientific terms an descriptions.
Mr.. Burns also told the secretary
that the value of the work of the
department would be materially en-
HANGED if the department. would en-
ploy western men in making investi-
cations of western problems. He
gave it as his opinion that a great
amount of money has been wasted
because eastern college men with no
practical experience have been sent
into the west to study conditions Of
which they had no knowledge.
The work of these theorists, he
said, was of little value to farmers,
and he urged the department to keep
its eastern men in the east and to
employ practical westerners in the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast
States.
In concluding the interview, Mr..
Burns urged the secretary to revise
and republish all information of
value which the department has col
lected with reference to dry farming,
and to issue this matter as a single
bulletin for the use of farmers who
are undertaking to develop made
quately watered lands by this new
system. This the secretary promised
to do.

FARMERS FAIL TO BENEFIT.
DeIav i'm Making Public Results of En-
periments initiates Against
Western Agriculturists.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 27.-The de-
partment of agriculture has been
severely condemned for its dilatori-
ness in making public the results Of
Investigations intended to assist the
farmers. In the course of its regular
work, the department is in the habit
of conducting experiments more or
less elaborate to devise improved
methods of agriculture and to de-
wise improved methods of agriculture
and to develop other information OF
value to agriculturists and orchard
lists. but as a usual thing, reports of
these experiments and deductions Of
the experts are not given to the
public until two or three years after
the field work is done.
John T. Burns of Denver, secretary
of the Dry Farming congress, in a
recent interview with Secretary viii
son. pointed out the inexcusable de-
lay of the department in getting its
information before the public, and
urged the secretary to require the
prompt publication Of all reports COM
piled by its representative. He in
sisted that the results of each years
work sohuld be made public as soon
as known and that valuable matter
collected during the summer should
be distributed during the following
winter. Secretary Wilson conceded
that Mr.. Burns criticism was well
founded and promised to direct q
change in tn method of issuing all
bulletins.
Mr. Burns also told the secretary
that the great bulk of the literature
issued by the department of agri
culture was entirely too technical tC

Jorbidge Gold Camp.
(Idaho LEADER

AluduO LedlcIJ
OF a clear morning the citizens of
Cooling may look across towards
the southwest an dsee the snow
covered tops of the Jorbidge noun
tains, about 125 miles away. The
question inthe mind of every one re-
garding the Jorbidge gold field is,
els it fake or really a great ield?"
There can be no answer to the
question until spring opens up and
time has been taken to develop the
values there. The Leader is of the
opinion that this is really great
field and that the reports have not
bee Refrigerated.
A relief map the great Salt
Lake basin will show an irregular
line of mountains encircling the rim,
or divide which separates the water
sheds of the ocean and gulf. Branch
ing out from this rim will be found
many spurs of hsort mountain chains
more or less connected with sur
rounding mountains forming the rim
of the great basin. An investigation
will show that all of the great miens
of Utah are located along the south
eastern and eastern section of this
rim. Passing around the rim to its
southwestern and western sections
the great mines of Nevada are all
found located either in this rim, or
some spur of mountains branching
out from it. This rim along its
northern portion is the mountains
lying to the south of Twin Falls and
across the southern portion of Twin
Falls, Cassia and Oneida counties,

spur from thi srim, and it lies just
across the Idaho line in Nevada.

Don't Swing That Morris Chair at Me.
A stern and sinewy suffragette was
sitting in her home
Her first and only vote had caused a
swelling in her dome
Her long enduring husband slowly
entered through the door,
Ten minutes late to reach the gate he
should have reached at four.
She made one threatening gesture,
but her husband raised his hand
And roared the chorus at her, in a
manner somewhat grand;
CHORUS.
Don't swing that morris chair at me-!

or that fine rug which feels your feet
Shall shortly feel your crown.
I'm a kind and loving husband,
If you'll only let me be;
You may have cast your ballot,
But you can't cast things at me!
The suffragette turned pale as chalk
beneath her new enamel,
Her mouth grew parched with grief,
till she was thirsty as a camel
Her nerveless fingers CROPPED about
clutching naught but air.
But one sure thing, she didn't try 70

Her husband tanned his wife that
night. and has her tanned today
A husband is a hero who unto his
wife can say:

BUTTE MAN SAYS 1T is THERE.
(Glenns Ferry Gazette)
c. E. Demaurs. a mining engineer
from Butte. who is well known all
over southern Idaho. came out from
the Jorbidge camp last week, where
he has been since about Christmas.
Mr.. Demaurs is familiar with all Of
the Nevada camps. and predicts a
greater future for Jorbidge than for
any other camp in Nevada.
Besides the good indications Of
ore that are present, this camp has
an advantage that is unusual to the
Nevada miner in that there is a good
supply of water on hand and there is
sufficient water in the creeks to de-
velop between 10000 and $4,000
horsepower" he says.
THE gold is rather coarse and prac-
tically all of the ore is free milling.
The formation is similar to that in
other desert ranges and there seems
to be two well defined systems of
assures, one running southeast and
northwest and intersected by a north
east faulting. The erosion along the
Jorbidge gulch has been considerable
and exceeds perhaps $500 feet. This
makes the region ideal for tunnelling
and cheap mining.
''The day that left camp tho
Palace restaurant was opened up, and
this is the first restaurant in the camp
proper. There were between 500 and
500 men in camp and they were ar
irving at the rate of about 20 pei

many pack animals and they were
