COLUMBUS DAY.

OcIODer l2th was the four hundred
and eighteenth anniversary of the dis
covery of America by Christopher
Columbus. In eleven states of the
Union the anniversary of the discov.
cry of America is a holiday. This
recognition of the great explorer has
been brought about only after his
name had almost been forgotten.
Every child of school age knows
the story of the three voyages of Col
umbus to the New World, but few
people can realize what tremendous,
what a daring and to many, fool
hardy task he undertook when he
set out on his voyage across the un-
known Atlantic to, he knew not
where. The story of that first voyage
with all its trials, and discourage
ments is told in history. The one
thing about it all which must impress
everyone who reads it is the indomit-
able will, the absolute determination
of the navigator. He is determined
to go he knows not whittier, but he
is certain that he will find land await
ing him somewhere in that mighty
waste of water. Difficulties beset his
way before he started and after he
started, but no difficulty could dis
suade him from his contemplated de-
sign. 1t would seem that nothing
less than Divine Inspiration lead him
from the shores of Europe to point
out to him new habitation for man.
Aside from his resoluteness of pur-
pose there was in Columbus that
which we as Catholics must admire.
He was faithful Christian, we'll
versed in the Scriptures, and it is
said that it was this latter source
which furnished him with the most
positive proof of the existence of
New World. 1t must not be thought,
however, that scientific reasons for
his belief were lacking. But when
the latter failed her. trusted in the
words of the Scripture and that it
was his duty to carry Christ across
the sea-"
Marks of the Catholic spirit which
animated Columbus are not wanting.
His flagship bore the name Santa
Maria (Holy Nary. He placed him
self under the protection of the
Blessed Virgin before beginning his
voyage and when he was out in mid
ocean he spent many an hour in
prayer to the "Star of the Sea-" And
his first act on landing was to sing
the TIE Deum. In his explorations he
attached many names such as San
Salvador, Sea of Our Lady, ETC., to
the places he reached, which names
are witnesses to this day of the piety
of the daring explorer.
Columbus did not have his head
turned, to use the current phrase, by
the success of his voyage. While the
world applauded him for his courage
he chose to spend the time between
his first and second voyages in a
franciscan monastery.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 19.-Un- known to any other than a few 1n- timate friends, Mrs. Florence F.

INVENTOR MAKES FORTUNE

YORK. Pa, Sept. 17.-H. Luke Owen, a young mechanic of this city, who had been struggling for years on a small salary, has suddenly be- come rich through the invention of a fibrous fireproof covering for wire. After several years of experimenting. he recently hit upon a successful combination of materials.
 The General Electric company of Schenectady, tested the discovery, which under most intense heat, prov ed itself absolutely indestructible. The company offered $100,000 for the right to use the new invention. In addition owen is to receive a handsome salary for experimenting the manufacture.
 Wiring with defective insulation causes a fire loss of many millions of dollars annually. This loss, it is said by electricians, will be reduced to a minimum by the new covering.

 most immediately for Pennsylvania
 where he will help open the republi- can campaign. While chasing across town from the Waldorf to the Twen- ty-third street ferry in a taxicab, Nh
 Watson made some startling state ments with regard to the outlook foi the republican party at the present time, so far as the fall elections are concerned, and gave it as his belief that present indications are for a democratic majority in congress next year of at least thirty.
 Mr. Watson blamed Colonel Roose welt, not for making new insurgents or progressives. but for helping to align them so distinctly that there is little hope of their getting together as things stand.
 But I have already been cam paigning in eleven states this year, and I tell you the situation is bad for the republican party. I am noi one of those who shut their eyes and predict big majorities. The republi' can party is confronted by a situa' ton that is acute and there is no use to shut our eyes to it. The thing is to get together, the thing is to realize what 1t is, and to get together to meet it. There is noth' ing reassuring about the situation by any means.
 Tt is absolutely necessary for the republicans to get together every
 where. The indications are now that the next house will be democratic by at least thirty majority unless the republicans do unite. We are los. ing republican congressman all tn. time from Maine to California

GOVERNMENT REFUSES BUSINESS TO PAPERS THAT cRiTIcisE eALLlNoER, IS CHARGE

Golfers Weekly has printed a let ter written to an Idaho editor by an official of the Interior Department in charge of the land office at Occur d'Alene. It seems that the editor has been receiving advertising pa tronage from the land office which was in answer to inquiries as to the reason for this withdrawal that the letter was written remarks. The New Orleans, La. State. The man of the quill was informed that it was the practice of the department to give such advertising patronage to republican newspapers. but only so long as the editors conduct their papers in accordance with republican principles.
 Then the editor was told that he had offended much against the party and it's principles, by criticising Sec retary Balhneer, by attacking Speak CT Cannon and Senator Heyburn. This is a fair sample of ballingerism, and so also is the concluding sen tence of the letter which reads: "If however in the future conduct of your paper these political acrobats are eliminated, I will be glad to re- consider the matter and extend to your the full consideration to which you may be entitled
 | There has been no repudiation of ! this letter by the officials in Wash | ington, hence 1t is reasonable to as sume that the policy of the Interior Department, under Secretary Bal linger, Is to give advertising patron
 age only to republican newspapers irrespective of their merits or circu | lation. Moreover, it is plain that tC {; be a republican an editor must mol
 criticize the Secretary of the In
 terior, he must not see any faults ir
 his Senators or Congressmen, ana he must not question the character

DEFECT IN AMERICAN ARMY
 REVEALED BY THE INSPECTOR

wAsHINGToNS. Sept. 19-Persons who think the United States army stands at the top of the profession would be rudely jared to learn from the report of Inspector Bell, made public today, that the field army is wholly unprepared for field service. He says the new regulations are al. most entirely theoretical or depend. ent upon the experience of European armies. Our transportation is the same as at the beginning of the Civil war, for our army so Tar has failed to make use of automobiles. traction engines and other modern appliances in the field. The weak. ness could be quickly developed If the present annual manoeuvres could be replaced at least once by the march of a complete army corps. Very few of our officers have ever marched with more than a regi- menr.
 Major Bell says: While our in fantry is composed Of the best ma terial in the world and Is probably as well, if not better, trained in che use of the rife than that of any other army, its marching capacity is below mediocrity; and yet it is ad mitted today that the fate of the battles of the future depends, as it has in the past, upon the marching capacity of the infantry"
Bisbee daily review., 1910-09-20

To remedy these conditions Major. General Wood. chief of stan, today issued orders which will materially
 change the training of the army. All
 inspectors-general will be required
 to submit the troops to an annual inspection in the field The infantry.
 men will be required to show how
 they can handle the rife and bayo- net. the cavalrymen will be put to Isword tests, the officers will be re
 quired to prepare field maps and sur.
 yeys
 All these tests will be under con- ditions approximating as closely as
 possible actual conditions arising in
 times of conflict.
 Inspector-General Darlington, in his
 report. declared that the absence of captains from their commands is
 the most fruitful source of profes-
 sional disease in the line of the
 army today"
 In one department nearly a third
 of the line officers were absent from
 duty with their commands under de tail and, altogether, the situation according to Inspector-General Gar. lington. warrants the prediction that results of a disastrous nature mus; sooner or later be realized. The ob yious remedy he says, is the provis
 ion of a sufficient number of super numerary officers to replace those on detail.

DAM SITE F0R VALLEY FARMS
 ARE NUMEROUS
Nature Offers Several First Class Chances to Store Great Quantities of Water for Irrigation Purposes

DOUGLAS, Sept. 19.-(SpecaD-
 For long time it has been known that along the eastern border of the Sulphur Springs valley, where the waters from the Chiricahua and Swisshelm mountains break through gaps into the valley lands below. there are several opportunities pre- scented by nature for the erection of dams. which, when filled with the flood waters, would irrigate many thousands of acres of fertile land. A movement is now afoot, which if carried through, will see at least two of these dams thrown up to catch the waters of the next rainy season It is not intended to impound the water the whole season through; the idea being to follow in the footsteps of the ancient tribes the ruins Of whose irrigation projects are to be found in many places throughout Arizona today.
 Two of the siles have been filed upon by men interested in the val ley. An attempt will be made to raise a corporation fund to be ex- pended in building breast walls across the mouth of the dam-sites, either of clay, or of clay with d concrete core. These breast works will have gateways of sufficient ca pacity to allow the waters to pass through during most of the season 1; | but just before the rainy season opens in July the gates will be clos ed and the waters impounded. to be released into the ditches and canals as needed to irrigate the crops plant ed on the area to be supplied from the dam. by htis simple method it lis hoped to make certain the crops ordinarily left to depend upon the rainfall of the rainy season alone. After the crops have been matured the dams will be drained and Jeff standing until the following July. A test has been made of the method ! herein described and found to be successful, the dirt embankment holding the watch much better than had been anticipated. The walls were thrown up with horses and a scraper.
 One of the finest dam sites, or rather reservoir sites in the Sulphur Springs valley Is that including the Morris Canyon. This opens up into the valley east of Courtland, through a gap not more than 300 feet wide, with a rock bottom. On the south side granite rock rises almost per. lpendicularly, while on the north the rock ledge slopes gradually. Behind this opening is a great vale, in the z form of a horseshoe, entirely closed ] in by the mountains rising to a height of 5000 feet, and giving a water shed of about twelve square miles The snows or the Chirica- huas makes floods in the winter and summer, and the water in the creek runs the whole year. A concrete breast wall three hundred feet high it Is calculated, would dam the water back to the mountains, a distance of three miles, with width of about the same number of miles. This dam site, it Is said, has been investigated by the government, and it is not cer tain that it is open to private enter. prise. However, during the past week, 1t has been investigated by local people. When the geological survey corps comes into the valley this month this site will probably have a thorough survey.
