Some idea of the magnitude OF the
irrigation work which has been IN
dertaken by the national government
is gained from recent reports, which
show that from the passage In 1902
OF the law authorizing these irrigation
enterprises up to the present there
has been expended $7O,OOO,OOO, while
$4S.0O0,OO0 will he available for use
during the next four years. As soon
as the tracts on which this money Is
to De expended are put under ditch
and sold the money received will be
returned TO the fund. to be used in
similar manner for the development
Of other enterprises.

A rather remarkable instance of rap
Id tree growth has been noted in the
case OF some soft maple trees to be
found I'm northern Fremont county,
just east of the Missouri river, I'm
southern Iowa. From seeds that were
planted In 1854 trees have grown to an
exceptional size. One measures seven
teen feet six inches In circumference,
another sixteen feet six inches, while
a number measure from ten to sixteen
feet In circumference Such growth
can only be explained on most favora-
bic soil and climatic conditions.

While the fact is seldom mentioned,
the object or the reclamation service
is not only to put water on land bar
rem and unproductive through lack of
rainfall. but to remove the surplus
moisture by drainage from soils al
most equally unproductive. 1t has
been estimated by experts in charge
of the government reclamation service
that where's there are 100000 acres
of arid land still to be watered there
arc SO,OO0,OCO acres OF swamp and
overflow land which can be drained
and made productive by putting the
reverse principle into operation.

reader who thought he had seen a

Skimmilk. In characterizing Ii the
phrase was used, 1T Is as impossible

the department who lives at Puyallup,

er has force, as fellow who lives In
Michigan has made splendid whistles
out OF pigs tails. He first carefully
removed the bone, then stretched the
skin over a stick and when cured var

inserted a short plug in its place and
cut hole in the dry skin just back
OF the plug. Our correspondent says
this made an excellent whistle. Next!

Following pretty droughty season,
good many who have built houses
the past summer will want to get q
catch of grass this fall on their grounds.
While a good step may be made i'm this
direction if conditions are favorable
by giving the area top dressing of
rich mellow earth and seeding with
the prepared lawn grass mixture. the
writer has found from his own expe-
rience and that of others that much
surer way is to supplement this seed
ing by planting, chunks of blue grass
sod six or eight inches square at in
tervals of three or four feet each way.
One of the finest and quickest lawns
we ever saw-a small one-was estab
lished at once by covering the entire
area with good thick sod and water
ing literally. However. where the
smaller pieces of sod are used at In
tervaIs a sod is soon obtained, and
much sooner than Is possible with the
seeding alone.

expectations of anything else than a
confirmation by the Supreme Court of the
Tobacco plan, which the President ap-
proved in superlatives. The importance
of the tobacco settlement is that the
courts have proved once moro their de-
termination to protect property rights in
America.
The advance in Steel prices was an
nounced in these dispatches nearly
three weeks ago and came somewhat
later than expected. Wire is put UP 81
a ton for February delivery, but for de-
liveries later than that still higher prices
are to be expected. 1t may be worth
while TO call attention to the fact that
the surprising increase of more than 4O0,-
900 tons in the unfinished business on the
books of the steel trust at the end of
this month includes one order Of 125,O0O
tons of pig iron sold at the end of No

Thus, the three great pieces of news
in Wall street for the day were not
news at all and had been discounted by

that small percentage OF the public that
is compelled to wait for official announce

By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Dec. n-From all quarters
cheering information came to the stock
market to-day and the result was a gem
eral upIift in prices that left the mar
ket materially higher at the close OF the
day. The urgent character Of the buy
ing was the best proof that most of the
purchases were FOR the account of shorts
but there was considerable investment
buying, too, for the developments were of
q most substantial character. Looking
at the market from a strictly technical
point Of view, however, 1t seemed as
though It should be sold on this rally
because most Of the developments had
been expected or had been actually in
Possession Of Wall street for a week or
more.
The greatest importance was attached
by the street to the Hadley report on
railway securities that President Taft
submitted to Congress, to the approval
by the Supreme Court Of the Tobacco
plan, and to the advance Of 81 a ton
in the price Of wire. These three things
were really not news at all. for all
had been known in advance. The Had
ley report was in Wall street two weeks
ago and had been thoroughly digested
by the leaders. The essential features of
the report are the recommendation that
the government attempt nothing more
than complete publicity in connection
with security issues; that 1t permit the
railroads to make more money and pay
liberal dividends and thus put themselves
in position to furnish the facilities which
the country Is badly in need. Federal
supervision of issues is deemed unwIse
because 1t would conflict with so many
State laws.
After President Taft's message to
Congress nobody certainly had serious
