Superintendent II Pebble Iasersc-

ties of development under the Carey
Act and during the lsst twenty
months, under their Wise administra-
tion, thirteen projects have been in
itisted which will bring under cult
walton $50, 800 acres Of arid lands.
The value Of these enterprises is
inestimable. The state requires that
the dame, canals and bitches shall
be scientifically designed and the
construction shall reach a high
standard. The work already done
and projected calls for the expendi-
ture of more than $20,0Oo,OOO in
labor and supplies
Bringing 100000 acres of arid
land into a condition of productivity
means an increase in population Of
10000. 1t means new towns, pros.

The success attending the efforts
OF the present board of land com

Clarence B. Burleigh. for several
years editor of the kennebec Journal,
died as the result of an apoplectic
shock at his home city last night. Mr.
Burleigh was widely known through
out the State. He was a versatile
writer. clear, logical. forcible in his
style, and true to his convictions under
any and every circumstance. His de-
votion to the Republican principles led
nm to give of his time, energy and
talent not only through his newspaper
but on the stump, for the success of
the republican party. and he was an
effective and brilliant moulder of pub
lie opinion. Personally, Mr.. Burleigh
was of remarkably sweet disposition.
and he had great many friends all of
whom mourn sincerely because Of his
untlmely death. He was yet young
man, and a career Of usefulness seemed
open to him which is thus cut short.
AS political writer and speaker. as
the author of several entertaining
books for boys, and as a friend. true
and warm hearted. he had won a
proud place and his demise is much to
be regretted.

sonality. To none. however. outside
his relative and intimate friends will
the blow fall more harshly than upon
the newspaper men of the State who
had learned to value him very highly
as a talented and versatile writer. a
most courteous competitor and most
affable and pleasant companion.
Mr.. Burleigh was consistently fair
and dignified in his editorial work and
in recent years had achieved for him
thor of juvenile books. which have
been highly appreciated by Names
younger people aud indeed by their
parents for Mr.. Burleigli's writings
have not only Il sustained Interest

Ambassador Bryce's advise to young
the lines which were the recognized
standard twenty years ago. He suS-
gests that possibly much of this ''prac-
teal education isn't so practical at
ter all There is right on both sides
of the argument. The tendency is
away from the old standards, which
were of proven worth, and toward
technical knowledge. While neither
system is perfect. the concensus of
opinion is that the modern policy con-
furms best to modern requirements.
