MILLIONS IN RE-
CLAIMED LANDS
w. n. MYLREA, ATTORNEY, SEES
IN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
$1,000, 100000.
ILLINOIS HAS BIG sHAR E
Badger Swamps Cover More Than
100000 Acres, Subject to Re-
cIamation-A Large Gain in Farm
Land Gould be Made.

Chicago.-W. H Mylrea of Wau-
sau, former attorney general of Wis
consin, and now secretary of the Wis
consin Advancement association, the
guest of the Chicago board of con-
troll of the national irrigation con-
gress at the boards fifth monthly
luncheon, given in the Hotel La Sale,
sang song of big figures relating to
the reclamation of swamp lands in
the Badger state and in the Missis-
sippi valley.
His information, based on govern
ment reports, was that the reclama-
ton of 100000 acres Of swamp
lands in the central and eastern por-
lions of the nation would add a
value of $1,000, 100000 to these
now worthless acres, and that the
reclamation of the 100000 acres of
marsh lands in Wisconsin would add
a value thereto of SAL, 100000.
Continuing, he said:
''The state of Illinois has within
its borders nearly 100000 acres of
swamp lands. It would cost Illinois
to reclaim these lands about $14,-
100000. When finally reclaimed
there would be added to the present
value of these lands the sum of $780,
100000. The increased annual pro-
duction would bring profit of ST.
100000.
For my own state of Wisconsin
the value of this swamp reclamation
may be roughly computed by just
doubling the figures | have cited for
Illinois-a little more than doubling
them, as we have something more
than 100000 acres of such lands
subject to reclamation while Illinois
has but 100000 acres
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Iowa, with Minnesota, have $500
900 acres of swamp and overf1owed
lands. Chicago stands as the center of
all this territory. Wisconsin has still
unoccupied 100000 acres of till
able lands, yet our cheese factories
equal in number all the rest in the
United States. This movement is
your movement, it is Wisconsin's
movement and it is my movement.
Let us have these lands reclaimed
and made into homes for the people,"

This year Young Mems Christian as.

break all records in amount of money
raised for new buildings. The success
at Philadelphia, when $1,030,00O was
secured in twelve days, has given slim
illus both to Young Mems and Young
Women's associations. Added to it
was the $2,000,000 campaign for build.
ing in foreign capitals. Brooklyn
women, with the aid Of few men,
have just secured $415, 000; Atlanta
men, $60O,000; Reading, $4,000;
Elyria, Ohio, $4,000, where the com,
mittee asked for but 100000; Charles,

Ut. SANBORN AND CARL THOR

OTHERS HURT.
MEN RUSH INTO STREET
Pennsylvania Coal Company's Con-
tainer Drops While Supports were
Being Strengthened-Consid ered
Absolutely Safe.

MilWaukee.-O man was killed,
another died from his injuries four
hours later and five others were more
Or less hurt when a coal hopper N
the yards of the Pennsylvania Coal &
Supply company at the foot of South
Water street crashed to the ground,
carrying with it 400 tons of fuel
The dead:
SANBORN, u. t., millwright, 61S
Second avenue.
THORSEN, CARL, millwright, 631
Scott street.
The injured:
Ole Olson, laborer, 2S5 Washing
ton street.
August Marion, Greenfield avenue.
John Pharson, 631 Washington
street.
John Presik, 1914 Tenth avenue.
Ernst Francke, 935 Windlake ave-
nue..
Five millwrights at work on the
supports of the hopper and the aerial
trackage of the plant narrowly es-
capped death by dashing into the
street when they observed that the
trackage and the hopper were sway
ing dangerously.
These We're Steve Porso, Charles
Jaffke, Herman Hoffman, Charles
Rasmussen and Simon Brantzez.
Sanborn was killed by a heavy
piece of timber which, falling from
above, struck him on the back of the
head. Both of his legs were broken.
He was killed three feet from the
place where he was working and had
just started to run when the timber
fell upon him. William Nelson an
other millwright, who was working
alongside Sanborn when the crash
came, was too startled to run, and
though heavy pieces of timber fell
all about him, he escaped unscathed.
George S. Eastman, vice-president
of the company, declared shortly af-
ter the accident that the collapse of
the hopper supports must have been
caused by the vibrations attendant
upon the unloading of the steamer
William Wolfe, which was being I'M
loaded at the time of the accident.
Mr. Eastman said that he did not be-
lieve that the accident was caused
by the running Of trucks over the
aerial trackage.
THE hopper had only been erected
a few years ago and was considered
absolutely safe said Mr.. Eastman.
'sJt was strOnp CIV supported by 10X10
and Sx10 beams, and | cannot under
stand how it came to collapse unless
it was the vibration.
Sanborn, the injured men, and the
men who rushed to safety had been
at work at the plant for about
week. They were engaged in strength
ening the supports of the entire plant
and were to have finished their job
in two more days.

HoxsEVs RECORD DISPUTED.

The record OF altitude held by the
late Arch Hoxsey is disputed by the
National Council of Aero Clubs OF
America because no representative OF
that organization was on the ground at
the time the aeronaut scared 11,474
feet for the worlds record.
The barograph clearly shows that
Hocksey ascended that distance. No
dispute can be made over the accura-
cy of the instrument. Yet the Aero
Club seeks to take from the memory of
the dead birdman the record of his
greatest achievement.
That is exactly what the Aero Club
can not do. The memory of Hoxsey'.;
record flight will always live as
monument to his name. even after
higher distances are reached. The
world knows whether the record is
Just or not; the world has approved
