became an employe of the great railroad of the north.
 Maybe the railroads of the United States would try to enlist the services of women like Mrs Stuyvesant Fish, Mrs. Mackay and Mrs. Vanderbilt in similar way if the situation in the states were as it Is in Canada. But here the law prevents the railroads from embarking in the hotel business. Their sphere Is limited to trans portation and they are supposed to go no further. In Canada the railroads have a wide scope, and that is why the Canadln Pacific is in the hotel business as an ad- junct to the transportation branch of it's energies.
 Mrs. Reeds home is in Montreal. When- ever she feels disposed she takes a trip to the east or to the west. A private car is at her disposal; she may invite whom she pleases to be her guests on her journeys. She may go to the Fron- tenac at Quebec and stay a day or two. or journey west to Alberta, to the great hotel at Banff Springs. She may cross the continent and put up for a day or a week at the Empress at Victoria, Brit ish Columbia. She may go up into the land of the glaciers or the region of the lakes in the clouds. It Is all according to her fancy. The best that each and every house affords is hers. There are no bills When she returns she makes a report filled with suggestions. She may recommend changes costing thou sands upon thousands of dollars, Some of these treat with minor matters and some with major. They may have to do with the lighting of one whole es- tablishment, or just with the candle ef- fects upon the tables in dining room. They may have to do with the cuisine or the table service.

 Mrs. Reeds work does not end with the planning of material details Her home for years has been famous for it's enter tainments He talent for arranging musi- cales and readings had made her invi- tations sought for and greatly prized. She "sensed' ethe things that made for novelty and the special enjoyment of her friends of all tastes. She therefore was asked, as part of her duties, to sug- gest and superintend the concerts and other entertainments the management wished to provide for such of it's houses as catered mostly to the tourist trade. And this she does, selecting the perform CTS and arranging programmes, with the idea always in mind of suitability-suita- bility to the size of the hotel, it's location and type of guests.
 There probably never has been a wom- an in the history of the world who has had an opportunity to stamp her ndi- viduality upon so many buildings in such a wide range of territory. In Que bee Mrs. Reed has put her hall mark upon the Frontenac, the hotel that is amed for that French count whose ad ministraton of Canada Is one of the glores of Frances control of the wes- tern world The hotel stands on historic ground up on Duffern Terrace, on the heights that were climbed by the im- mortal Wolfe, and close to the Field of Abraham, where the heroic Montcalm went to death.

From the London Chronicle.
 Mme Sarah Bernhardt's manager, Mir. Louis Mercanton, called at the Coliseum offices recently to discuss the arrange ments for her reappearance at the build ing with the globe-topped tower on Sep tember IS.
 Mine. Bernhardt is now at her fortress homo after her nine months tour of tho United States said Mr Mercanton. And of course" he added. "she is rest ing in her own particular way-bathing. fishing, shooting, walking, writing shoals of letters to her friends in Paris, sketch- ing the ships at sea from her castle win- dows. tending her various animals and reading new plays by the dozen,~
 Asked if it was true, as reported in an American journal, that Mme. Bernhardt spent a night in New Orleans shooting crocodles MT, Mercgnton replied that it was a fact. Tt happened this way" he said. An old sportsman called at the theatre one night and asked to see Mmc. Bernhardt He was an old friend and had taken her crocodile shooting some five and twenty years ago, when she was last In that country. Reminded Of their expedi- tion the actress expressed a desire to be taken once more to the swamps for a nights sport.

She may see a way in which the services of a mere chambermaid can be amplified into some thing of the duties usually performed by a ladys maid. She may see how convenience in bath arrangements can be effected or a few details added that make the bath adjoining the hotel room seem like that of a well-appointed home. sunny effect of wall paper in an apartment facing the sunless north may transform hotel suite, or a cool color scheme worked out for one that has too garsh light.
 Mrs. Reed has impressed upon and made it apparent to the management that one of the errors hotel people make is giving the greatest need of consideration to the tastes of men pat rons Today it is the woman who has to be pleased and catered to in large measure in the big hostleries.

 and wheats, there is the Royal Alexan-
 dra. In Alberta there are three or four great structures In far distanst British Columbia there are half a dozen hostel
 ries, some small, some large, some in | the prairie country, some in the moun- tains, some by the Pacific shores. In | Alberta are others and in New Bruns- wick near the booming Atlantic, there are two or three.
 | With all her travelling and attention to the affairs of the railroad, Mrs. Reed finds plenty of time to attend to her social duties in Montreal. She is almost as well known in New York society as | in Canadian circles. She was born Cath erne Armour and is the eldest daughter of John D. Armour of Coburs, Canada, who was chief justice of the Court of
 Queens bench in Toronto. Her bro-her, Donald Armour is one of the eminent surgeons of the world.
 There is a bit of romance in her life As a girl she was very much in love with Hayter Reed, at that time one Of the beaux of Canada. They had some
 misunderstanding as lovers will inc world around, and parted. Then came her
 marriage to Grosvenor P. Lowrey, q
 wealthy lawyer of New York For 70 or 15 years she was a prominent figure in
 the social life of this city. MT. Lowrey died some 10 years ago. and few years later Mrs Lowrey married her sirlhood sweetheart, who then was construction | engineer on the Canadian Pacific Rail- way.

 Our Gases Communities
 The population of these oases promises to be the highest type of American man hood and womanhood. The conditions are almost Utopan, Each settlement will be one of well-to-do farmers, who are making comfortable ncoms. with less work than is possible in any other part of thecountry. The farms, being small. are close together. and the people have a community. of interests which leads to cooperation and social organization. They will market their fruits and crops in com mon, and will form combinations to get the best prices and to raise the best products. This is already being done in the fruit regions. There will also he financial combinations of the settlars to esta blish factories in their various com munties
 Libraries and Schools
 The schools which have already been started upon these projects are far above the average of those in the country dis tricts in other parts of the United States. In most cases they compare with the schools of the cities Most of the oases have what is known as centralized graded schools to which the children are brought in carriages that go daily from farm to farm and collect them. Great care is taken in seecing the teachers. and a high school education may be got ten without leaving the farm.
 Among the interesting features of these schools are the gardens and little farms connected with them. The children learn practical agriculture by raising plants. fruits and grains. prizes being given for the best work. The teaching is all in the spirit of the farm, and its aim is to inaiSe the children love the farm and to have them stay on it. In the past the coun- try schools have been managed by city teachers who have taught the children to despise agriculture and tried to make them leave the farm for the city.
 As to the school already established on the project of Carlsbad, N. M., 800 children are enrolled. The graded school building is of brick, situated in a large park, and the town has recently erected S15OO high school. Belle Fourche, in South Dakota. has two graded schools and a high school. while in Sturgiss there is a public graded school with a large attendance. Nearby are the Uni yersity of South Dakota, the State School of Mines and State Normal School In Huntley, in northern Mon tana, there are excellent educational facilities, and the same is true of the other preients of the lower Yellowstone

 In connection with cucumbers I have a letter here from Nat Marten of Huntley, who made $4a00 out of dill pickels, which were raised on less than seven acres Of land He put up 80 barrels of these pickels and sold them at SIS a barrel. He says that most of the .cucumbers. were raised by the neighbors on the, above land He paid them sone cent pound. land this gave good profit, as some of them raised nine tons to the acre. MT. Marten says he expects to double his output next year and to raise most of the cucumbers himself Another Huntley man writes that he came from Latrobe, Pa, and that With out any experience in irrigation farming got Al acres from the government and filled it alone with the assistance, or his children. the oldest of whom was just, IA years. His first crop brought him in s24Oo. and he expects to produce at least S3OOO worth of stuff this year. This man says "It don't take big mansto do this. I weigh only 132 pounds.

 Not Bad Place for Children
 A number of these letters show how the babies thrive. There is one from Hermiston, Ore, written by E. r. Dodd saying that his neighbor, Bushnell, haq come there three years ago and landed with a pair of twins fin a double ,papy buggy. He now has four boys' ana a $7OO house. and at the end of five years will have 5000 property all paid ioa'' young carpenter bought glven-up homestead of ten acres and has it now paid for, and another has planted 2o acres of alfalfa and grapes.
 One of the Hermiston settlers says that he is raising 600 bushels of onions per acre without fertilization and crops of other vegetables are quoted almost as large. This is from the Umatila project. where water Is now available for nooo or 12,000 acres and where the first set dement's were made. about four years ago. The locality has excellent banks and schools. Hermiston having an $S000 concrete school building, with 16O pupils. There are newspapers, churches and fraternity lodges.

valley. The pupils are taught for nine months in each year, and the state course of study provides for the teaching of agriculture in the four highest grades.
 In Yakima the best of common school facilities are to be found in every part of the irrigated regions. There are graded schools and high schools at Ellensburg, Sunnyside and North Yakima, and at the latter place, in addition to the public schools, there are business college, school of music and art and a Catholic academy for girls In all of these pro jects nine months of school is the rule.
 Towns of the Gases
 Nearly every one of these reclamation projects has several towns which are rapidly springing into being. In the Va kima valley they are situated on the government lands and in the country ad- joining North Yakima has over 12,0O0 people, Sunnyside has 15o0 Elensburg 52o0 and Prosser 20oN. In addition To this there are d number of other towns and villages.
 Most of these places have traded streets bordered with trees kept alive by irrigation. They have gas and electric lights and good telephone systems They publish newspapers North Yakima has public library which cost Sio"0G, q tbbftuOSt WpllU sl-O.Niu, anu Nnt StN- ernment is soon to erect federal build ing there at cost of a quarter of a mil lion.
 The chief town in the lmatila project is Hermiston which already has 800 peo- pie, including a large number of farmers who live there and drive to and from their farms. This place has several big business blocks, two lumber yards. an sS0O0 public school building. and there are in the county 12 banks with total deposits of upward of S4,000,00o Hermiston has two banks.
 On the Klamath irrigation project the chief twon is Klamath Falls, though there are other settlements which are rapidly growing. Klamath has four banks, two newspapers, a high school building which cost S40000 and a number of society lodges. The cost of redeeming the land here was on the avers;;i $50 per acre and the maintainance charge 70 cents per acre each year.
 Some of the irrigation projects of Ida ho are tributary to Boise. the capital of the state. town which has municipal Improvements equal to those of the finest residence cities of the west. There are some small towns on the projects them selves, and the educational. financial and social conditions are among the best in the country. As to Boise 1t has six banks, with deposits of over $6,0O0. 900. and school buildings which represent a property value of more than si0O,poO. It's

 schemes of southern New Mexico. In these regions the country is practically frostless, and oranges, lemons, grape fruit and olives can be easily grown The lands lie several hundred feet above sea level. and the temperature ranges from 20 to 118 degrees above zero. In some of the tracts the units are as low as ten acres, which is found to be plenty, as crops can be raised all the year round. Irrigated lands bring from $50 to s150 per acre, the government tracts varying in cost, According to the expense involved in each project. The government report from Carlsbad, N. M., states that the finest grapes can be raised, bring ing profit of $150 an acre, or lettuce and |peas will net $400 per acre while Bermu- da onions are yielding 35000 pounds to the acre and really selling for two cents a pound.
 These are a few notes as to the profits from Uncle Sans desert farms Each of! the 34 projects now being reclaimed lrording to climate and soil, and those who would settle can receive full infor- nation eoncerninE them by writing to the government officials.
 How. to Get a Farm
 But how does one get farm on these fertile oases? The lands are allotted un- under much the same terms as the hrme- stead law, save that the settlers must pay the actual cost of erecting tic dams and making the irrigation works which put the water Upon the lands. They must also pay a small rental cost per acre each year for the use of the water. The pay ment for the land is made in ten annual instalments. the money all going back to the government When the works are paid for the land and the works will be- long to the community, and they v,l be to certain extent under the Secretary of the Interior for the future. The scheme provides against monopoly. No one has the right to own more than 160 acres on any of the tracts and the units of own ership are somewhere as low as ten acres, In other projects they are 40, and in others SO M

The amounts paid for water vary with the cost of the irri- tgation works needed to redeem them, but | in no case are they anything like value of the land when redeemed. It is esti- fniated that the cost of reclamation will 1 amount to about $3e per acre, and in
