HIGH COST OF LIVING

help FROM CHARITIES

New York Feb. 5.-The effects Of the
increased cost of living upon the
working classes are shown in the
largely expanded number OF applica-
tions to the city for aid as disclosed in
the figures made public today.
The rising tide of inability to make
the income keep pace with the living
expenses is indicated in the fact that
during the last twelve months more
than $4,000 persons sought relief from
the charities department, an increase
of more than so per cent in five years.
Suicides have increased nearly so per
cent from 1904 to 1909.

Shooting stories, especially those

Elephants in the shooting are able to

those experienced by Uncle Jed after he
swallowed his false teeth. AS a result
of the come back" all, excepting
mayor c. E. Kelly are telling stories OF
his ability as a cook. The mayor, how
ever, admits he can boil water without
scorching it.

Behr, city assessor; Herbert Num-.

They were joined at Clint by Mr.
Camp, a merchant, who conducted them
to the San Feilpe ranch. nine miles
loutheast Of Clint, where ducks are re-
ported to be as thick as chiggers on
hazel brush in Arkansas. However no
ducks, nor feathers, were brought back
to Ell Paso. The party returned Sun

Most Beneficial Water.

One of the greatest advantages of ir-
rigation is that the water which flows
down from the mountains is much
more beneficial to the growing crops
than that which comes from the clouds.
The supply not only can be regulated to
the exact needs of the lands, but as
the water trickles down through
mountain soil and bubbles up through
the mouths of myriad springs, it
gathers rich treasures of potash, nj
trogen and phosphorus, and bears them
on to the hungry soil where they are
made available as food for the grow
ing crops.
Although the United States now leads
the world in the number of acres of
irrigated land under cultivation, other
countries are awakening TO its posi-
bilities. Lord Cromer has announced
that the reconstructed Egypt has in
creased the regions fertilized by the
Nile from 100000 to 100000 acres.
In Alberta, Canada, the Canadian Pa
cific, headed by a hustling young
Irish American, is solving a tremen-
dous problem in the irrigation of the
Bow river region. This one project is
five times larger than the combined
national and private projects in Utah,
and one-third as great as the entire
irrigated area of the United States.
The, work in Canada is being carried
forward so extensively that director
Newell of the reclamation service, ad-
mitted not long ago that the United
States could not hope to equal it. Here
we build a dam and the government
turns it over to the water users as
ISOLATION. But there is no guarantee
behind it. The water may suffice at
all times; and then again it may not.
1t may cost a dollar; or it may cost
more. In Canada the supply of wa
ter is guaranteed, and the cost is TO be
the stated sum Of so cents
Uncle Sam has his outlooks upon
the watch towers of progress. and
whatever is new in the irrigation
world that offers success when applied
on American projects, will be taken ad-
vantage Of While there is little like
lihOod that the tide Of sturdy citizens
that is flowing across the border into
western Canada will be stayed there

ed States approximate a quarter of a
billion dollars a year in value
Add to the irrigated area and the
region susceptible to irrigation, the
&C. 600 600 acres of swamp land which
may be made available for cultivation.
and we have an empire in prospect.
The day was when the arid and semi
arid lands of the west and the swamp
lands of the east were regarded as the
waste places Of the nation. But in the
light of notwithstanding methods,
these lands are destined to become the
granaries of the country. The arid and
semi-arid lands, for Uncounted gener-
ations drinking up the moisture borne
down to them by the melting of per-
petua1 SHOWS, have become veritable
treasure-houses of plant food The
water of the irrigation ditch, laden
with the mineral substances brought
down with it from the mountain, is
the golden key that unlocks these
treasure-houses, and makes possible an
agriculture undreamed of in non-arid
regions. Likewise, lands that have
been under water for ages, are COW
cred deply with alluvial deposits
brought down from the mountains, or
beings that inhabit sea water.
The Aim of the Congress.
1t is the aim of the Irrigation Con-
gross to arouse the nation to the pos
sibilities of these waste places. Col
erado well may play host to the con-
Eress, for within its boundaries there
are more acres of irrigated territory
than in any other American common
wealth The statistics. of the depart
ment of agriculture show that its three
and a half million acres Of irrigated
land are the mainstay of it's agricul-
ture. The state averaged s1S.65 per
acre on its wheat crop last year. as
compared with SO in Minnesota, S1219
in Wisconsin, S11.22 in Illinois, and
1896 in Kansas. The average yield of
oats was valued at s15.98, as compared
with s1O.69 in Wisconsin, and so on
down the scale for all the middle wes-
tern states. For barley the yield was
valued at s19.12. as compared with
$685. for Wisconsin. and for hay it
was $19.47. against s1314 in Wiscon-
sin, the best yielding state in the mid
die west.
