DRAINING SWAMP LANDS.
An Important Item in Conservation
of Natural Resources.

Between muck lands in the east and
alkali lands in the west, the drainage
division of the Department of Agriculture
is kept busy.
Just now the drainage division has con-
cluded long and important Lsries of in
vestigations into drainage of the At
lantic coast swamp lands. This has ex-
tended all the way from Maine to South
Carolina, with several thousand acres of
drainabie land in each state. 1t has been
found that nearly all of the. coast tidal
marshes are susceptible to drainage. and
that when they are drained their value is
increased about 100 per cent. Land
worth from 81 to SO an acre easily APP
preciated from $50 to 800 an acre.
The department says there are about
100000 acres of swamp lands that can
be drained and used. but that they are now
considerably worse than waste land be-
cause they harbor mosquitoes and other
disease-carrying insects. Much work has
already been done in Illinois Indiana and
Iowa, which are not considered swampy
states, but where there have been enough
swamp lands for their drainage to make
a material difference IN the annual health
reports OF the regions.

President Edward s. Osborn of the Ma
tioual Power Boat Association, has sent
out q letter TO the clubs of the associa-
ton. in which he calls attention 10 V Ola
tons of the present law regulating the
equipment of motor boats and to the dis
regard shown by some motor-boat owners
OF the rules of the road President OSBORN
speaks of the simple requirements or the
law, and states that United Sta -es steam
boat service inspectors. as well as cap
ta'ns and pilots OF steamboats,, are report
ing to the department every violation or
the law and every accident that comes TO
their attention. and are paying particu-
lar attention TO violation of the pilot
rules
President Osborn remarks that he be-
lieves that this eviden is be ng gathered
for the purpose of asking Congress to
enact a law compelling motor boats to
carry licensed pilots and engineers and
providing for the inspect on of all boats.
The letter impresses upon the members
the importance of obey ng the law in
every particular, also the necessity Of be-
ing familiar with the pilot rules not
only for their own protection and safety
and that of others, but also as a means
toward preventing further and perhaps
drastic legislation.

WHEELING, w. Va,
November %, 1911.
1t Is said that the meeting of the re-
publican state committee held several
days ago at Parkersburg is the last that
will be held by that body, and that the
next meeting of the committee as such
will be the one attended by the new men,
bers elected at the primaries in June.
1912. and it will be for the purpose of or
ganizing for the fall campaign.
If this be the case it can easily be
understood why the members who formal
ly resigned and stepped out at Parkers-
burg did SO without apparent concern.
Possibly the committee might be called
in the event of some unlocked for con-
tingency, but on the authority of the re-
signed members there will be no. hing
doing by the present committee. The de-
tails for the state primary agreed on
have been mapped out, and ASIDE from
some correspondence between the new
state chairman, V, l.. Highland, and
the county chairnen in reference 20 the
primary features the committee will cease
to be an issue in republican gabfests.
The reorganization of the committee by
which the federal and state Office hold
ers eliminated themselves in answer TO
the ciamor worked up by insurgent edl-
tors and finally sanctioned by President
Taft, has not been satisfactory to the in
surgent brethren and has not been taken
seriously by the laity- generally.
