NEED NATIONS HELP
TO RECLAIM LANDS
Lack of Cooperation Has
Resulted In Reclama-
tion Projects.
tPallaGiun Speciai)

CHICAGO, Nov. 3o-"The need for
national cooperation in the great
work of retaining our $4,000, 900
acres of swamp and overflow lands.
is vividly pointed out by the bulletin
just issued on the subject by the de-
partment of agricultural said Ed
mund T. Perkins, of the Chicago
board of control of the Irrigation con-
gress, commenting upon the news dis
patches from Washington.
Secretary Wilson," continued Mr..
Perkins, makes the statement that a
great deal of money has been expend-
ed for reclaiming marsh lands with
out getting permanent effective re-
suits, because of lack of cooperation
and the insufficient size or poor con-
struction and maintenance of levees,
sluices and bitches. He makes the
further statement that unreclaimed
low lands, worth from 81 to 20 per
acre, will be worth from 500 to $1OO
per acre when drained; and that be-
sides producing a financial benefit the
drainage would destroy the breeding
places for mosquitoes and reduce the
unhealthful conditions that cause ma
laria, chills, and fevers.
THE members of the National lrri-
cation congress have long recognized
the need of drainage and the necessity
of national cooperation. The congress
which meets at the Auditorium thea
ter and Orchestra Hall Dec. So, un-
doubtedly will take some steps to push
the reclamation of swamp lands by
the aid of the Federal government, un-
der a policy corresponding with the
reclamation of arid lands in the west.
'Irrigation of arid lands is an estab
lished economic necessity now and
the work is progressing with encour
aging rapidity. For this reason the
Irrigation congress, at it's sessions at
Pueblo last year, thought it could take
some time from the irrigation propa-
ganda and give it to the reclamation
OF swamp land movement.
THE great results obtained from a
united effort on behalf of irrigation
can be duplicated in the reclamation
of wet lands. Four years ago the Un-
tied States burea uof statistics esti
mated the number of acres under irri-
CATION at 11yOOO, ,00O> The number to-
, day is probably 12,000,OO0. Those 20.
| OOO, 900 acres are worth at least $40 an
acre Or more than a billion dollars.
| Without irrigation they were worth
only few dollars an acre for graz
| ing lands, and some of them wouldn't
grow a dozen blades of grass to the
acre. There are probably 35,0OO,00o
more arid acres in the United States
| which can be irrigated.
$50 the constructive work of the ir-
! rigationists has been so we'll ground
ed that there is no doubt the men,
bers of the Irrigation congress will
help bring about national movement
for the reclamation of the 79,OOO,O0O
acres of wet lands, of which about
100000 are quite near to Chicago,
in Illinois, Minnesota Wisconsin and
! Iowa.
"Secretary Wilson's bulletin urging
the necessity of cooperation will be a
good thing for the movement"

laughs from the jurors.
Attorney r. J. Study. who every
once in a while would interpose an
objection to question by Attorney
Jessup when he was cre s examining
the plaintiff, was accused OF galLery
play at one time. The attorney re-
sponded in his characteristic manner,
and several humorous situations arose.
Mrs. King in her testimony, declar-
ed she sustained double fracture of
the fourth finger on the left hand in
March. 1909, and that DR.. Harold, who
was her physician, wrapped it in tape
instead of placing it in splints or a
plaster cast. She said that the finger
became stiff and was doubled in to-
wards the palm of the hand, exhibit
ing the finger to the jury as she ex.
planned. In March, 1911, day or two
after visiting the physician and ask.
ing for a settlement, suit was institut-
ed for heavy damages. The woman
said she was heart sick because of
the malformed digit.
In addition to the heart sickness,
Mrs. King said that the malformity
of the finger prevented her from do.
ing her work as skillfully as if it were
in proper shape. The defense sought
to bring into consideration by the jury
that Mrs. King had received damages
from the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany for an injury which she sustain
ed. No court was held Thanksgiving
The case will be resumed Friday.
DR.. Harold denies that the treat
ment of the finger was other than
that ordinarily employed by physi
clans. Mrs. King said he advised her
to visit another physician who advo
