prominent lawyer here, will ask the
administration at Washington to as

ant potato producing centers of the
United States, will plant this year

RECLAMATION REFORMS
PLANNED BY SEC. LANE

Washington.-Sec of the In
terror Franklin X. Lane will inaugur-
ate reforms in the administration of
the federal reclamation service The
secretary is having certain investiga-
tons made to find out how far his au-
thority extends. After this has been
determined he will issue the orders
carrying his policies into effect.
One of the complaints made by the
settlers on reclamation projects dur
ing the recent conferences in this city
was that the cost of improvement of
their land was greater than they had
been led to expect.
Secretary Lane believes that if the
settlers went on the land in good
faith, under the impression that the
cost of irrigation would be in the
neighborhood of $40 an acre. for ex-
ample, when the actual cost was later
found to be double that amount, they
should be given relief in the way of
extension of time for making pay
ments.
The reclamation act requires that
payments for improvements shall be
made in 10 annual installments.
Settlers on the projects have said that
they would be bearing an excessive
| burden, if they were required to pay
for their land in 10 years on the basis
! of the actual cost-from so to 10C
| per cent above the first estimate
and they want Is or 90 years in which
| to meet their obligations.
Secretary Lane is in doubt abou
the exact meaning of the law in re
spect to the annual payments. Doe!
the law mean that the payments shall
be consecutive or does it mean tina
I they may be extended over a longe
period? If the legal lights of the in
terror department or the departmen
of justice say that the payments nee'
; not be made in consecutive years tn
secretary will grant an extension II
every instance he believes there
justification for 1t. If it Is decide
that the payments must be consecu
tive. congress will be asked to chang
the law.
The personal side of the admins
tration of the reclamation service
developed at the hearing has a grea
deal to do with the dissatisfaction am
ong the settlers. Many of the engi
neers. being professional men an
thinking along professional lines. lack
ed tact in dealing with the settlers

GREEK INFLUENCE IN INDIA.

NMlnneapollS Journal.)
Greece has been the light of the
world as Israel has been the leaven.
For Greek influence not only gener-
ated the civilization of Rome and
thence of the Occident but it pene-
trated across the deserts even into
India, whence it surmounted the Him
alayas and entered into China. into
Japan.
Alexander left behind him Greek
monarchies that touched Indian
thought vitally. AS Greek thought
supplied a system to Christianity. SO
it is nof suspected that it prevaded
Buddhism which spread over Tibet,
Mongolia. China and Japan.
The Greeks created the science of
thought, that is logic. And Asia
caught at their suggestion. SO that
Alexander's conquests even more than
has been considered were important
to the world, being perhaps the most
important great movement that ever
! occurred in history from the point OF
view of civilization.

Southwest Virginia is filled with many
pretty stories of these stones
The fairy stones were first brought
into prominence by John Fox, jr., a na-
tive of this section Of the country, in
his Trail of the Lonesome Pine" The
fairy stone is declared to play an i'm
portant part in shaping the destinies OF
the young lovers.
Securely tucked away from railroads
and other invading influences of civiliIa-
tion, on top of a high peak Of the Rlue
Ridge Mountains in Patrick County.
Virginia, is a field of about fifty acres
where these little stones, shaped as per
feet crosses, are found. Strange to saw.
this is the only place in the world where
! they can be found. Several hundred
years ago similar ones made their an
pearance on the coast Of Brittany. but

They range in size from a quarter nj
