Holders Will Have to Pay High
Prices for Water Rights.

Washington, Dec. American
citizens DESTROYS of engaging in farm
ing. may obtain an irrigated farm,
ranging in size from 90 to 80 acres
free from Uncle Sam.
About 400 farms are now open 10
entry along the several irrigation pro-
jects controlled by the government
the chief expense incurred in obtain
ing one of these tracts being the pay
naent Of the cost of water rights,
which amounts to from $50 to $50 an
acre of irrigable land.

Mexico City. Dec. 1T L. very
gratifying to me TO say that ny
heart Ii full OF faith in the progress
OF people who. like the Mexieans,
has known how TO conquer By its own
efforts a place among the lovers OF
toll, after having proved Its valor in
war In patriotic defense OF its coun-
try. and that never as today could
declare that Mexico belongs definitely
to the group OF nations OF assured
stability, because against the firm
guarantee OF peace which we possess
no influence tending towards it's dis
solution can now or ever shall be
able to prevail.
"As to the relations between Mex
leo and the United States and other
friendly nations, never have they
been more cordial. as was indicated
In convincing manner during the
celebration OF the centennial of Mex
ico's independence"
The above Is the authorized mes
sage Of President Diaz to all nations
on the eve of his inauguration for
the eighth time as chief executive of

November Produced q Surplus of
Nearly 100000 as Against q
Big Deficit for October.

Washington, Dec. November
was a highly favorable month for
the finances Of the United States
Treasury. 1t produced a surplus on
all accounts of nearly 100000,
where October had produced a deficit
Of more than $5,0O0,000.
The working conditions of the ma
tion's cash drawer shows a CORES
ponding improvement for the month.
December opened today with a work
ing balance Of $34,OOO,00O on hand
and $S6, 100000 in the general fund,
an improvement of a round $4,000
900 in the cash available for i'm
mediate operations. This condition
would seem to Justify Secretary Mac
;Veagh's confidence in the Treasury's
ability to maintain itself for the
present without financing.
AS compared with this date last
year receipts are s14,OOO,00O higher
and expenditures are 100000
lower. The result of all this is that
the total deficit for this fiscal year to
date is $2O,000,0O0 as against s44,-
100000 this time last year.
The general condition of the Treas
ury's finances seems to augur against
any issue of securities in the i'm
mediate future.

Several Naval Stations.

several NaVaI SCat1OnS.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 4-The es-
Inmates of Secretary of Navy Meyer
for fiscal year 1912, which shows a
saving of 100000 as compared
with the appropriation for the navy
department for the current year,
provide for an expenditure of ST.
yards and stations. These are for
items regarded as absolutely essen
tial and are based upon a personal in
spection by Secretary Meyer of the
navy yards and stations which he
made on his recent tour.
Some of the estimates for public
works are as follows:
New York navy yard. 81 ,469 200.
Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian Islands,
naval station, $2,2S7, 1000
Boston navy yard, s277,000; ma
rine barracks, s14S,000.
Norfolk navy yard, s347,500.
Olongapo, Philippines, naval sta
ton, 100000.
Philadelphia navy yard, s227,000;
marine barracks, s290,00O.
Portsmouth, N. H., navy yard,
$4,000.
Puget Sound navy yard, s9S9, 900.
Washington, D. c., navy yard.
$134,500.
The secretary asks for $780, 900
for provisions for the navey, which is
an increase of $15S,929 over the ap-
preparations for the current year.
Provisions for the marine corps are
estimated at $4,000, an increase OF
s96,457 for this year.
AS the first years appropriation
for the new vessels which the Secre-
tary recommends, he names $1,000
900 as the necessary figure for con-
struction and machinery, and $780,
42S for armor and armament, which
is $3,494,194 less than the amount
appropriated for the new build
ing program this year. In addition,
the Secretary recommends s10,4 49,
SIC for the continuation OF work on
vessels now under construction,
which is s6,9S2.105 less than the
amount appropriated for similar
purpose this year.
The total amount which viii be

For More Bassieships
Following the established policy in
the matter Of annual naval constrae-
ton. the Secretary recommends the
authorization OF two bat;leshius. one
collier, one gunboat, one river gun
boat. two sea-going tugs. two subma-
rines and one submarine tender. He
strongly deprecates any break In the
established policy because of It's evil
effect on the shipyards Of the coun-
try, upon whose maintenance the
navy must depend in time OF war.
The small cruisers and gunboats are
becoming useless through age and,
while the department desires TO min
imize expenditures on such vessels OF
slight military value, a certain num-
Der are absolutely necessary for
police duty. surveying and other
work incidental to times of peace.
Twenty years is about the effective
life of a battleship and even then the
last ten years of that period should
be spent in the second line Of defense
This short life lis rather the result of
evolution in ship design and ordnance
than of actual decrease in efficiency
in the ship ieself. To make up for
the retirement Of these obsolete yes
sells there must be authorized after
1912 in addition to the two ships per
year provided in the established pro-
gram, a sufficient number of vessels
to maintain the fleet at the minimum
Of twenty ships of the first line. AS
it will be necessary for at least five
or six nations to maintain navies to
enforce the decree of an information
al court, the Secretary does not feel
that we are very near the information
al settlement of all issues, and the
era of international peace and he de-
clares that the delusion that nation
with a large population, great wealth
and resources is immune from attack
has been dispelled by the history of
war. A formidable array of tables
showing the enormous amount Of
naval construction now under way or
authorized by foreign nations, is pre-
scented to justify the appeal for an
adherence to the regular building
program in this country
