Profitable Glass Eve.

glass eye" said the city salesman.
but know a man who makes money
on his glass eye. He goes to Europe
three times a year on business. While
there he does a little trading in Jew
els as a side line. II is on the home
ward trip that he turns his glass eye
to good account. In the cavity back
OF II he carries two or three small but
valuable diamonds. Half the duty
saved is his commission on these

IRRIGATION ADDS TO
WEALTH OF THE
WEST.


Washington, May "a graphic
statement of the vast extent of
the governments irrigation pro-
iects and the success that attends
their operation was made today
by G. J.. Blanchard, statistician of
the reclamation service, who has
returned from a tour of inspec-
ton.
cat the present time there are
twenty-eight projects in various
stages of construction said
Blanchard. "The total acreage
involved in these projects is 81
200, 1000 which will provide homes
for approximately 100000 persons
ON farms, and an equal number
n cities, towns, and villages with
IN this area or in the neighbor-
hood thereof, or a total Of 64O,-
900 people. The total are now
under water is 1000, 900 acres, on
, which have been established ap-
proximately $4,000 families and
an equal number hive tken up
their homes in the cities, towns
nd villiges.
"The progress Of the engineers
has been rapid, Notwithstanding
the isolated location of the prin-
.ipal engineering works from
transportation of the work. Up
o the present time the canal
\ ystems constructed have a to-
| al length of 5,621 miles. Many
I { these canals carry whole riv-
rs. Placed end to end they
1ould reach from New York city
| o San Francisco and back to
New Orleans. Tunnels having a
total length of sixteen miles have
been %eXcayated, mostly through
mountains. The excavation Of
rock and earth amount to the
enormous total of $4,000, 900 cubic
Yards, or more than one-third of
the yardage required for the
Panama canal. Owing to the To-
cation of some Of the principal
works in regions heretofore mac
cessible, the reclamation service
has been compelled to construct
1915 miles of wagon roads. The
service has in operation 1,50S
miles of telephones, 275 miles of
transmission lines, and is furnish
ing power and light for munich
pal and manufacturing uses to
seven cities and towns from its
own power plants.
THE investment of the govern
ment in the projects now under
construction is 500, pos 900. The
sotal computed cost of these pro
ects when completed is $4,000,
