RECONSTRUCTION OF SAN
PEDRO IN FULL SWING

Engineer Charles Ireland had the
distinction of bringing the first
work train to Las Vegas, arriving
last Saturday. Work and material
trains have been going forward
daily since that date. There are
now in the field between Vegas
and Elgin three bridge gangs, for
ty teams with wheelers, slips and
scraper equipment and $50 Mexican
terial are on hand and a water
service outfit is in attendance. The
wells at Rox and Elgin were filled
up by the flood. These will be
cleaned out as soon as the water
service outfit can reach them.
Chief Engineer Tilton of the Salt
Lake is in absolute charge of the
work of reconstruction, a recog-
milton of his ability which has caus-
ed great deal of satisfaction
among his loyal force of assist
ants and other friends.
w. c. Frazier, superintendent OF
bridges and temporary buildings, is
at the front in temporary charge
of the work now in progress.
One of the division engineers will
probably soon be ordered to the
front to take direct charge of the
entire work under general super
vision OF Engineer Tilton.-Clark

FLOOD WATERS REVEAL
MONEY In A CAN

Last Friday afternoon while out
on the levee at the north of the
bridge where the big gap was made
by the food an Italian picked up
can which contained 1886. The
can was seen bobbing around in an
eddy when, through curiosity, the
Italian picked it up and in opening
it was surprised to find that it con-
tanned money. The sum, $685.,
was in dimes, nickels and quarters.
Whether it was washed from it's
hiding place at the bridge or f1oated
down with the food water cannot
be guessed. However, the Italian,
who is a stranger, is that much
ahead. Star.

RESTORING FARM LAND.

The world viii not soon starve. The
fertility of the soil is increasing and
there is no such thing as the exhaus.
ton OF land. The chief OF the bureau
of soils of the department of agricul-
ture recently wrote pamphlet or bull
letin which gives negation to the
croaks of soil pessimists, says Wash
ington Star. The productiveness of
land In the United States is increasing
The average wheat yield per acre in
this country is two bushels greater
than It was 40 years ago, though the
corn yield per acre is slightly lower.
Ignorant or careless tillage has de-
spoiled much American land of its
fertility. New England has a vast
acreage of abandoned FARMS" though
the acreage is not so large as 1t was
a few years ago. This result is due
both to improvement of cult ral meth
DDS and to the high price of farm prod
uce. Around Washington, particularly
southwark, is big area of wornout
land given over to old fields, pines.
scrub pine and brush. This was
brought about by indefenslble methods
of husbandry. This land can be re-
stored. Goodly patches have been
made fertile. The restoration of land
requires some capital. 1t costs money
to treat It with commercial fertilizer.
1t also costs money to restore 1t by
the legume route. Glover seed is not
cheap, and 1t takes time to get a stand
of clover when the start is made on
poor land. A farmer whose bank bal
ance is not big (and there are such
despite current reports), who has
fields of poor land, faces quite prob
lem in bringing up this land to high
degree of fertility. 1t can be done, but
there are difficulties to overcome.

The Bank of England has raised the
discount rate, which Is fair warning to
spectators to go slow. The Bank of
England always takes such action
when protection of the gold reserve is
desirable, and recent demands for the
metal have convinced the managers
that the action is opportune. Business
conditions here and elsewhere are
sound at heart, and the resumption of
activity In nearly every line of indus
try is evident to all. The big crops
also contribute their share toward
American prosperity. But 1t is appar-
emily an inyariable rule that such re-
vivals are attended by more or less
speculation endangering commercial
stability. The lessons of the past
have no effect, and reckless individu
ais plunge in without regard to the
risk involved to others as well as
themselves. The putting up of the dis
count rate is a signal that should be
needed, and doubtless other institu
tons will take the hint.

Germantown, Tex,-A great many
turkeys were raised at Germantown
the past year. The high prices have
stimulated the farmers to raise more
turkeys and better turkeys. There are
many Bronze turkeys here now and

been ordered from other states. Hog

CHAMP CLARK SURRENDERS
Aprees to Plan for Committee on
Committees.
From The Tribune Bureau ]

WASHINGTON Dec 16.-Champ Clark, helf
prospective to the Speakership of the next
House, has agreed that there shall be a
Committee on Committees. and that the
privileges of the Speaker shall further De
curtailed, according to a formal statement
he issued this afternoon.
Mr.. Clark also favors a revision OF the
tariff schedule by schedule. He announced
a call for a caucus of the Democratic mem
bers-elect to be held in Washington on
January 10. At this caucus it is planned 10
select those men who will be the Demo-
cratic members OF the next ways ana
Means Committee of the House, and Will
face the problem of tariff revision. In eA-
planation of this purpose Mr.. Clark re-
viewed at length the amount of labor
which will be required to collate facts on
which to base tariff bill.
Mr. Clark's views on the appointment OF
a Committee on Committees are definite
and settle the much-discussed question as
to whether he accedes to the demands OF
certain members of his party who have
been insistent that he should take a stand.
Mr. Clark says:
ct seems to me that the fact that cir
cumstances made me the leader in the
two-years' fight to HberaiZe the rules of the
House against what has come to De KNOWN
in popular parlance as 'Cannonism' ought
to have made known my position on fur
ther liberalizing the rules. including a
change in methods of appointing commit
tees, and that every honest and fair-mind-
ed citizen will so declare.
las to the mode Of selecting committees
in the event of my own election to the
Speakership, I would not care snap of my
fingers to exercise the power of appoint
ing them. The exercise of that power
would undoubtedly have certain unpleasant
features
Mr.. Clark makes no definite suggestion
as to the method OF choosing the House
committees. He refers to a prospective
plan to have the caucus name the Ways
and Means Committee and an enlarged
Committee on Rules, and to have one of
these committees empowered to select
other committees.
That plan. or some other, he says.
equally safe. sane and tntelligently
wrought out, should be adopted" He de-

Washington, Dec 16.-Representatfve
Hotson. Of Alabama. and Representative

day at James A. Tawney, chairman OF the
House Appropriations Committee. who de-
clared last night that McLachlan and the
War Department were trying to 'Hobson-
ize' the country IN connection with the
Dickinson report on the state of the ma
tional defences. Mr.. Hobson accuses Rep
resentative Tawney of violation of con-
fidenee, among other things, and Mr.. Nc

have the national security rest upon a
huge game Of bluff.
Il note that Mr.. Tawney blames Repre-

War on the McI4achlan resolution said
Mr. Hobson to-day. This statement is cor
rect in this, that there would have been no
trouble had / not trusted Mr.. Tawney, and
he violated my confidence Mr.. Tawney has
been recklessly misleading the public on
this subject by saying that over SO per

purposes Of war. knowing that the House

clearly one to prevent the people from
