S1ANDPATTERS

REVISION
Political Marvel of Age Is DociI-

washington, ~ ~, DtC. To-
one of.the political marvels of the
day to older men in congress is the
| e%uuanimity with which ~the most
ferocious "~standpatters'' OF other
| days receive the suggestion for the
| proposed revision of the tariff sub
| ject by subject. Time was when that
/ proposition was met with boots and
| jeers, and when the mere broaching
of the subject TO a high protectionlst
was likely to throw him into a fit on
the floor.
Everybody recalls the derision
which met william II. Springer of
Illinois when he introduced his bills
for the revision of the tariff by
schedule. "Popgun tariff bills" they
called Mr.. Springer's measures. They
laughed him out Of court and his
bills died a%-borning.
1.-The sun do move" remarked a
gray-bearded standpatter of the
house to the representative of his
paper. 1T is g fearsome sight to us
old boys to see Aldrich and Payne
falling into line with the suggestion
for piece-meal tariff revision. 1t Is true

IMMENSE IRRIGATION
PROJECTeUNDER WAY
IN YAQUl VALLEY

Douglas, AriZ.. Dec. 19.-An irri-
cation project which will bring I'M
der cultivation the greatest tract OF
land in northern Mexico, and outrival
the Roosevelt dam in the Salt River
| valley has been launched. At the
head OF the enterprise is the Yaqui
River Land and Irrigation company,
the American title of which is the
| Richardson Construction company,
and in which are identified John
Hays Hammond, Harry Payne Whit
ney and the b. o. Flower estate of
New York. These capitalists have
acquired title to 10000 acres of
land in the valley of the Yaqui river,
long famed for its fertility; of this
tract half a million acres a be put
under irrigation. and In addition to
the company holdings there are lands
totaling another half million acres
which also can be irrigated from the
great reservoir which the company
proposes to build.
This dam, If the surveys completed
indicate its location. will be built at
Angostura, a point twenty miles south
of the Tigre mining camp, on that
upper portion Of the Yaqui known as
the Bavispe river. At this point the
mountains form a very narrow gap,
not more than a hundred feet at the
base, and rise in rock cliffs on either
side almost a thousand feet high.
Nature has thus provided an ideal
site. the valley opening out immed-
lately above this gap into a wide
stretch of open lowiand. Provision
will be made for the farm land sub
merged, including some OF that
owned by the Wheeler Land COM
pany.
Engineers have been located at the
dam site for almost three months,
and the lines of survey are already
indicated. II is calculated to consist
of q concrete breast wall 1856 feet
high and this height will back the
waters up the Bavispe river a dis
lance of forty-five miles. The water
at the Tigre crossing Will be 35 feet
deep, and a ferry will be operated

The great work of Huntsinger's is to prepare its graduates for immediate work as book keepers, stenographers, typewriter operators, etc. But it does more than this-it starts young people on the road to success It had 541 calls from business men foI office help from July I. 1909. to July l, 1910, but was unable to i'll 32e positions because 1t did not have students enough ready.
 year of careful instruction under the Huntsinger teachers enables the young man to go ahead in the busi ness world and do something, a train. ing which cannot be picked up by I'rubbing against boxes and barrels of even the most progressive business houses.
 A very large percentage of the busi- ness men in our principal cities who manage businesses are themselves graduates of business schools
 Any young man who writes busi- ness hand of quality will find i'm mediate access to the merchants books of accounts. His knowledge of ac. counts enables him to adapt himself to the activities of the business office immediately.
 The Huntsinger school trains be. tween $50 and 600 different people per year for doing office work It's ten teachers are kept busy for the eleven months of the year from 8 o'clock in the morning until 4 Is in the afternoon. All students have over two hours extra time at the school with the assistance of teachers If they choose to improve it.
 The Huntslnger courses prepare the student for the busy life that lies be. yond. It also brings actual work of the school room in daily operation.
