Northern Pacific Folder Describes
Irrigation in lis Territory Free

The area of land being reclaim
ed by irrigation in the Northwest
is sufficient to provide homes for
hundreds Of thousands Of settlers.
Both government and private pro-
jects, and the work they are doing
in the territory adjacent to the
lines of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way. are described and illustrated
in an attractive and we'll written
folder just issued by that company.
c. j. Blanchard Of the U. S. Re.

that part of the folder which deals
with government projects. and he
says:

cation of water to her sunburned
valleys. Practically all Of this
stupendous miracle has been
wrought within the past quarter of
a century, and a large part of it
by individual enterprises. The
great American desert no longer
calls up vision of isolation and
horror. With the western march
of settlers it's boundaries have
shrunken. Railroads have thrust
its barriers outside. Its flowing
streams and its underground waters
are being measured and studied,
and we are beginning to grasp

thirty million acres are yet re.
claimable by water from the
streams which drain it.

present need is to provide homes
in the land for our rapidly increas
ing population, that the stability
of the Nation depends upon ou

what irrigation has done and is
doing, will welcome the informa-

!. D EcREE AS TO JEW $

Cincinnati. Ohio. October 10.-Reso-
lutions and amendments calling for
the changing of the name of the
church: reorganization of the board
of missions; a general overhauling of
the methods OF examination at theo-
logical seminaries, and changes In the
canons bearing on numerous subjects;
and the question of revising the
church canons regarding marriage and
divorce, were under discussion to-day
at meetings Of the triennial conven-
tion of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
After the House Of Deputies had fin
ished discussing the work among the
Jews, on which Rev. William Gros-
venor, of New York, made speech,
the House of Bishops took up the sub
ject and issued decree. This stated
that Jews who had been converted to
the Episcopal faith might continue
the Jewish rites. festivals and cere-
monies of their forefathers as his
torcal and racial traditions. provided
they did it as a matter of morality
or for sanitary reasons. but not as q
form of religion.
Changes Proposed.
Marked changes In the missionary
canon concerning the work of the
board of domestic and foreign mis-
sions were proposed IN the House Of
Deputies by George Wharton Pepper.
of Philadelphia
Instead of the election in convention
of forty-five members of the board.
the most radical change calls for
twelve to be elected in convention and
twenty-four by missionary councils.
Instead of having the work Of the
board of missions directed by the
general secretary and the president ex-
officio, the latter being the presiding
bishop, 1t is asked that 1t be con-
Quoted by president and four secre-
staries.
A resolution was also offered In the
House Of Deputies that recognition of
the fact that the Episcopal Church is

of common prayer. Both of the reso-
lutions will be taken up for final set
.tlement later.
