MONOPOLY OF WATER POWER.

There has been much discussion re-

from members of the geological sur-
vey at Washington show that although
such q monopoly has not yet been
completed there has been q rapid con.
centr alton of the control Of the water
power companies. Although many
valuable power sites are reported to
have been filed on by the big power
companies before lthe blanket with.

none OF theseIhsve been patented, nor
have any new filings been made. Mr..

Since that time members of the geo

canyons, locating all water power
sites, and Secretary Ballinger is with
holding these from entry, although

Many who are opposed to the Roose'

that it is the governments intention to
prevent any use of these power sites
for years, and thus hinder the develop.

idea. These sites are being withheld
only until congress prepares q plan
under which they may be developed,
Secretary Ballinger and Presiden,
Taft have recommended that these
power sites be leased for q term Of
thirty years on terms which will enable
those who develop them to release
them. The eason for the leasing
plan is that in this sge, when the use

Cultivation Affects Climate.

The following extracts from q letter

l. The surface of the soil is being
stirred by cultivation, the contact Of
lower layers of soil with ora tine
crust broken Herewith, the moisture
of such layers is prevented thereby to
escape into the air and is therefore re-
strained and conserved for the grow

3. Large areas being sown to green
