FIVE VICTORY
New Team Wins First Game
In Basketball VS.. kudito-
rum Crowd.
THE SCORE WAS 10 TO a.

Victory greeted the Young Mems
Hebrew Association Junior basket
ball team in its first game Saturday
afternoon In the Auditorium, when
1t walioped the Auditorium five by
a score of Is to A. The game was
fast, but 1t was evident from the
playing that both sides required
practice. Players on both teams
fouled many times by running with
the ball and using two hands where
the rules only permit the use of one.
In fact, there were SO many fouls,
that Referee Louis Petersen did not
see fit to call all of them.
Both sides, nevertheless, showed
the markings of two excellent young
teams. With the proper coaching,
1t is believed they will make as good
teams as the city now possesses. The

The Original EneyeIopedia.

The first real encyclopedia was
Phny's Natural History" This work
was an extensive one, numbering some
thIrty-sevep volumes and dealing with
all the then known facts of the world.
Pliny, who died A. D. 10, collected the
data for his work IN his leisure inter
walls while engaged in public affairs.
The Natural History" was for its time
an amazing production, treated of some
10000 facts and was of very high au-
thority throughout the entire middle
ages. Forty-three editions Of the work
were printed before the year 1886, and
no scholars library was considered

and awaited a moment for the policeman
to catch up.
AS the bluecOat pushed into compart

unable to keep up the pursuit.
But after few minutes of the 'squir-

NEW YORK. December ia summary
of the annual expenses of the various

Surplus of Stored Water.

ION some projects there is a surplus
Of stored water which could be advan-
tageously sold il that course were au-
thorized by law. Legislation with this
object in view is now pending in Con-
gress. If the sale Of surplus water
were authorized, certain proposed ex-
tensions to cover private land by means
Of pumping could well be left to pri-
vate enterprise.
I'm nearly all projects the land pro-
posed to be irrigated will. with proper
cultivation and treatment, bear the
construction and operation and mainte
nance charges. In a few cases the
payments will be burdensome. In the
Garden City and Missouri river pump
ing projects it is asserted by the set
tiers that the cost Of pumping is pro-
hibitive, but with better farming meth
DDS this condition may be changed.
Some complaint was made that the
adopted sizes of farm units on public
land were too small. These vary from
ject to forty and eighty acres on most
Of the others. The size Of the farm
unit was fixed after consideration of
the productiveneSs of the soil. the ell
mate and the value of the crops that
could be raised, the intention being to
limit it to an area sufficient for the
support Of a family. In a few cases
there appeared to be some justification
for the complaints, but further expert
ence is desirable before any general
changes are made.
THE actual cost of completed work
has almost invariably exceeded the
original estimates, and in the case of
some structures has been two or three
times as large. This increase in cost
has been the cause Of much Of the dis
content among the settlers. 1t was
partly due to a general increase in the
cost of labor and materials. partly to
underestimate and an insufficient al
lowance for contingencies, and partly
to the necessity of doing more work
than was originally contemplated

Irrigation Suggestions.

Modern irrigation being a relatively
new art in this country much freedom
was allowed local engineers in the de-
sign of minor structures. While this
was a wise policy in the early stages of
this work, it has resulted in some COM
plicated and unnecessarily expensive
structures. With the present knowledge
of the comparative merits of the different
types. il is believed that standard de-
signs of the simplest satisfactory type
should be adopted for all minor struc-
lures
THE most uncertain feature of nearly
all the projects is the water supply. This
is under state control, and in the prose-
cutiOn of it's work the reclamation service
bears the same relation to the state as Il
private individual or corpora ton. In each
case the filings have been made under
state laws, and in some states special
legislation has been enacted to prevent
future encroachments on the filings of
the reclamation service. All Of the filings
made by the reclamation service are,
however, subject to the prior, filings
made by individuals and corporations.
