tains west to the Pacific coast, Is not
only brought right up to date but
shows also the route and stations of
the new Western Pacific Railway,
the Pacific coast extension Of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad from
Salt Lake City to San Francisco.
This new line was opened for freight
traffic some time ago and 1t is antici-
pated that passenger business will be
inaugurated early in August. 1t is
said that the route thru the Sierras
and down the Feather River rivals in
scenic attractions the world-famous
Denver & Rio Grande. Another in
teresting feature in connection with
this new Pacific coast line is the fact
that there is no grade of more than
flfty-two feet to the mile, which
makes 1t possible to conduct trans
pOrtation across the mountains at n
lower cost over that line than over
any other now operating on the
American continent. The map is be-
ing distributed by the Passenger de-
partment of the Denver & Rio Grande.

Colorado Land

Under the caption 1.-The Conquest
of the Desert" Hon. Alva Adams
writes very entertaining article In
a Denver paper, from which we clip
the last paragraph, which reads as
follows: .sCould Moses have eaten
Colorado alfalfa and pea-fed hog, the
Bible would have carried COM
mendation and not prohibition Of
swine. The prototype of the clover
fields that wintered the fiocks Of Alb
raham are seen In the alfalfa mead
ows Of Colorado, which, viewed from
our hills in these arid days of dry
summer, look like splendid emeralds
upon the breasts of the desert. These
are permanent assets In the ledger of
mans resources. Commerce may
fade and fleets may sink Empires
and cities may be one with Ninevah
and Tyre, but the alfalfa OF an irri-
gated field will bear its bounty so
long as the sun shines, waters run
and man works. Learning may be
forgotten-the palaces that Caesar
built will crumble; anarchy may up
set courts, laws, institutions; but the
land 1t abideth forever"

"A Cure For Alkali

Almost all soil contains more or less
alkali. Whenever the soil strata is such
that there is no natural underdrainage,
and water is applied to the surface, 1t
generally collects in the basin, the sur
face of the underground water gradual
ly rises, and when it gets near the sur
face, excessive evaporation occurs, and
as the moisture passes away as pure
water the salts contained in the water
are left at the surface of the ground.
In due time the soil in Colorado takes
on a white appearance and vegetation
suffers.
Naturally, the cure for this condition
is to lower the water table, and if there
is no natural drainage, this must be
done by artificial drainage. Anything
that will provide a channel through
which the underground water may get
away will answer the purpose. Brush,
boulders. flag stones, tile and lumber
have been successfully used.
In many cases tile have proved to be
unsatisfactory. Both cement tile and
some burned clay tile have shown the
effect of alkali, and there are instances
where each has disintegrated and gone
to pieces In a few years.
The open bottom wooden box seems
to last as well rs anything, and there are
instances where these have been in SER
vice for IS years and the wood is still

Two Blades Of Grass Where We are
Now Growing One

Recently about everyone who can
spare the time from the Elusive race
Of garnering enough round dollars to
meet current expenses has been de-
voting energy and brain to solving
the problem, why is it that it costs
90 much to live?" The Congress
grappled with 1t In very much Of a
grand stand play,-but "High Cost"
never batted an eye. The many
remedies suggested remind us very
much of the countless cures for rheu-
matism-they work In some cases,
but this particular case is different
Right off the bat salaried people
want their wages raised SO that they
can pay the increased cost OF living.
But plainly this would not help the
situation ultimately, because If we
further increased the cost of manu-
facture the manufacturer must again
raise his prices, and We would be
back again to where we started.
A tangible ray Of solution has been
sprung by Mr.. William G. Brown,
president of the New York Central
in the current issue of the Independ-
ent, wherein he suggests that the
remedy for the present high cost of
living Is to get more out OF the land.
I'VE have been failing lately in az
riculture," says Mr.. Brown. Dur
ing the last ten years our farms have
produced an everage yield of wheat
amounting only to IA bushels to the
acre."
Mr.. Browns solution looks good,
for evidently, if we can make two
blades Of grass grow where we are
now only growing one, the cost per
head tor pasturing will of a necessity
become cheaper.
In line with this thought 1t is well
worth while to turn to the tremend-
Gus Importance Of irrigated lands.
Last years report of the United
states Department of Agriculture
shows that the average yield OF wheat
per acre In Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
Wisconsin and Minnesota was about
134 bushels per acre, while the aver
age yield in Colorado was over "a
bushels to the acre, and this aver
age was considerably lowered be-
cause dry farming acreage was taken
into the general total. AS matter
Of record irrigated lands yield an av-
erage Of about 40 bushels of wheat
per acre.
Potatoes in Colorado show an aver
age yield Of l22 bushes per acre, while
seven other large potatoe producing
states show an average of 81 1-2 BUSH
els per acre.
This same relative production per
acre IL shown in many other things
that we eat.
1t seems to us that the irrigated
fertile fields of the Rockies hold the
solution Of the High Cost of Living
problem.
In this great West there are irri-
gated lands for many. many thOus-
ands Of families, and the present
widespread interest in them is sure
to have beneficial affect on our ma
tional development and happiness.
Why should people go to the inhos-
pitable climate Of Canada when irri-
gated lands and the glorious climate
of the West are here for the seeking.

 At the Orpheum theatre last night Con- gressman Hobson's address on "The Great Destroyer" was a technical, scien- tiffic discussion of the dangers of alcohol ism. s
 He was introduced by Dr. Crumpton. who said that he had come to the con- clusion that MT. Hobson should remain in Congress eight years longer, rest four years in the governors chair, and then be put in the United States senate for life.
 Captain Hobson told of the scientific in- vestigations in England and France and in America Figures poured from his mouth tending to prove that the traffic Is 10000 times more destructive than el the wars that have ragged in the his tory Of the world. He showed that 95 per cent of the deeds of violence result from alcohol. that only 19 per cent of the children of drinkers are normal, and that nothing suffices but total abstinence.
 He affirmed that the traffic has already blighted the liberty of our institutions and cur civilization, and he closed with plea for stapd against tho greatest enc my that ever attacked any country, (which is striking at the pillars of the liberty of this nation.
