Irrigation for the promotion of agricul- ture is rapidly becoming a world wide movement. No single country has done more for it's promotion under government auspices, or by corporations than the United States. For that reason the na- tional congress on the subject meeting at Chicago this month, has attracted the attention of other countries to such an ex- tent that r of their governments will be represented In this years deliberations. What has been done may be inferred from official figures representing seven of the western states, in which by this time more than $100,000. GOO has been invested in irrigation projects In 1908 the eight states had 262 invested in an irrigated area of 3.S24, 49S acres, with an additional area of 9,454, ,491 acres projected for irrigable Improvements. These facts indicate the eXtert to which funds have moved into this class of agriculture.

CAPITAL IGNORES

IRRIGATION POPULAR
New Means of Aiding Agriculture Is Now World Wide Movement. Canvass Merchants for Opin
 ions on the Trust Laws
By PRESTON c. ADAMS

New York, December 16.-(Spectal.) )-The activity of the government in the way of trust busting does not seem to have the effect of preventing the formation of heavily capitalized corporations.
 Time was not so very long ago when a S1O000.000 industrial combination was thought a pretty big thing. That was, of course, before the formation of the Steel trust Now, however the statis- ticians place any capitalization under that
 figure under the common head of small CT corporations" when they come to make up their tables.
 To show the growth of these indus trials despite the prosecution of trusts. 1t is worth noting that in 1910 the cap- italization of industrial and mercantile corporations having a minimum of S1o,- OO0,000, aggregated $4SO 125, 900, while for the first Il months of 1911 the total is SS47, ,S4S 400, very nearly twice as much.
 One of the most interesting reports brokers have heard recently circulated among the houses which do business in puts and calls. The governors of the Stock Exchange. 1t is said, were consid- ering a proposition to prohibit all mem- bers from selling privileges. Their req son was that the fleming and Van Shaick failures had been due in part to the selling of puts and calls and that many other small houses had gone into that branch of the brokerage business. None of the officers of the exchange commented on the report, but it was credited in places where puts and calls are dealt in.
 In the old days, before Russell Sage gave up the business as too hazardous, dealing in puts and calls constituted an important department of the brokerage business. Then 1t gradually lapsed from Stock exchange practice and most of the speculators who wanted puts and calls, whether a speculation or a hedge, bought them in the London market. The bus- ness of dealing in privileges is conducted much more scientifically in London than it ever has been here, and the arbitrage houses did a profitable business with this branch of the London market alone. It is only within the last year that sales of privileges have again been taken up by more than a few Stock exchange houses. In recent months the business has de- gage in it having been enhanced by the circumstance that regular commission business was none too good. A great many houses have found it a profitable adjunct to the regular brokerage busi- ness Because so many of them are en- gagged in it the governors will probably not prescribe 1t altogether. However it is considered probable that regulations will be passed in the endeavor to have the business conducted as securely as it is in England.

Orme saves from arrest a girl in black

lady in the black car, and learns that In
Tom and Bessie Walingham they have

| it was. The papers lay there at the
side of the road, where Orme had
tossed them a moment before the two
cars met
There had been no other way to
dispose of them. If the car from the
north had stopped at different angle,
or if the other car had not moved, the
light would not have shone upon them,
and the Japanese might not have sus-
pected where they were. Or, If Orme
had tossed them few feet farther to
one side, they would have been out OF
the range of the light. But there they
lay.
Arima leaped toward them. Even
as he started, figure appeared at the
other side of the road and walked to-
ward the cars. 1t was a man with
brass buttons and policeman's he'll
met. He walked with authority, and
he held stout club in his hand.
whats goin on here?" he demand
ed
Arima stopped In his tracks.
To Orme, at this moment came the
memory of the girls desire to avoid
publicity Nothing wrong" he said.
The policeman stared. I've been
watchin you from over there" he said.
1T looks like nothin' wrong, with men
fightin' all over the ground"
Just little trial of strength ex-
planned Orme.
Trial of strength, hey?"
WELL" admitted Orme, this man"
pointing to Arima-"wanted some
thing that l had It's not matter
for the police"
ooh, it amt? Somebody's been
hurt" He gestured with his club to-
ward the shadows where the three
injured men were slowly coming back
to their senses.
Not seriously" said Orme.
Wen see about that later" replied
the policeman decidedly.
Orme tried to- carry the affair off
boldly. Every moment of delay now
threatened defeat for him. There is

where the papers?"
The papers!
Japanese character thus brought It's
fresh surprise to Orme. Even after
this hard fight, when three of his
friends lay groaning on the ground
when he had in his power the man
who had injured them, who had tenn
porarily bested himself-Arima's chief
thought was still Of the papers!
He seemed to have none of the semi
barbarian vengefulness that might
have been expected. He merely wished
the papers-wished them the more des-
perately with every passing moment.
The lives of his companions counted
for nothing besides the papers!
"Where?" repeated Arima.
81 haven't them" said Orme. you
ought to know that by this time"
The answer was a torturing pres
sure on Orme's spine. you tell"
Kissed Arima.
AS the pressure increased Orme's
suffering was SO keen that his senses
began to slip away. He was gliding
into state in which all consciousness
centered hazily around the one sharp
point of pain.
Then, suddenly, he was released.
For moment he staggered Imply,
but his strength surged back, and he
was able to see how the situation had
changed.
The girl had swung her car in clio
ser to the edge of the grove and nearer
to the struggling figures. Doubtless
she had some idea of helping But
the effect Of the change in the posi-
ton of her car was to permit the
searchlight of the other car to throw
it's bright beam without interruption
down the road. And there, perhaps
so feet to the southwark, CLEANED
something white.
The girl could not see it, for her
car was headed north. But Arima
saw 1t, and in fash he realized what
