Whoever has applied moistened | finger to piece of frosty metal ir winter well remembers the painful ex perience thereby gained of the fact that cold as we'll as heat can blister the skin.

An Early Postal Experiment..

As long ago as the seventeenth cen tury the attempt was made to prepay letters by using stamps Ill 1853 Paris tried a system that even provided pill lar boxes for the letters. which were to have q billet. price sol. attached to the letter or parcel. The experiment met the usual experience of the pio- neer-ridicule. Mice were dropped into the letter boxes. and when the letters came to be collected it was found that the animals had made q hearty meal of them. As nobody could be sure of the fate of the parcels. the experiment came to a sudden end.

Now II all boils down to this. An

A suit Is asked between the state
OF Colorado and the United States to
determine the rights OF the state and
the federal government in the waters
OF streams originating In that state
and flowing into New Mexico.
This Is the upshot OF what at first
looked like general indictment OF
the whole project OF government trri-
cation and trial for its very life.
The hearings have brought out a
few other facts. For example. that
many settlers on these government
irrigation projects have encountered
hardships owing to the circumstance
that they arrived on the ground be-
fore water was ready and were per-
mitted to take up claims on the
desert with months before water
could be furnished. thus using up
their preliminary capital. Other set
tiers have encountered hardship ow-
ing to the fact that they have under
taken TO become settlers without ade-
uuate capital. Still other settlers
have fallen a prey to money-lenders
and have been forced by their needs

terest and have been threatened with
foreclosure on the results OF their

! early labors. In some Of the projects
the settlers have encountered Just
plain hard luck due 10 unseasonapie
weather, bad crops. severe storms
and other things which have lett
them at the seasons end without
money to make payments ON their
lands or to buy necessities. These
settlers have appealed for govern
ment assistance and think they ought
to have their future payments re-
mitted or that the government should
lend them money at low rates OF In
terest. Neither the department OF
congress. however, seriously enter
tains this proposition.
Another cause OF hardship Is found
In freight rates. After the settler
has raised potatoes. for example. he
finds them rotting on his hands be-
cause II costs more than they are
worth TO transport them to the near
est market. In some cases evidence
was presented to show that mistakes
had been made by the engineers OF
the reclamation service In estimating
cost or otherwise in planning for the
reclamation projects. In defense II Is
argued by the reclamation service
that they were doing pioneer job
and that II would be impossible to
spend 500. 100000 In this way with
out making incidental mistakes. They
call attention also to the fact that
they have faced steadily rising mar
ket In labor and materials. Noobdy
has charged that the service has be-
come the victim OF either dishonesty.
graft or political favoritism.
Finally. and most significant, Is the
conclusion OF James J. Hill, repre-
senting the principal critics Of the
service, that no one must for a mo-
ment consider abandoning or curtail-
ing the reclamation work, but on the
contrary II must be enlarged and car
ried on more rapidly. Mr.. Hill figures
that the work has justified itself on
economic grounds and presented hg-
ures at the hearing which show that
there Is a great profit to the country,
to the railroads, and TO the home
maker In the spending Of this great
sum OF money to reclaim arid lands.
Speaking of irrigation as applied to
dry farming lands In Montana, Mr..
Hill said that such land worth $lS
an acre, yielded to the farmer raising

Is an average construction charge OF
$34 an acre. After the water Is on

From Mr.. Hills railway point or
view, a project like this increases the
productivity of that acreage 10 BUSH

section to Minneapolis or Duluth on
the basis of Is cents q bushel, SO
that his revenue is $4,000 annually
more than II was. which Is more than
seven per cent on the engineers esti-

Hill says reclamation at government

Officials and OratOry

There are persons who think that
when Mr.. Marshall assumed the duties
OF vice-president and Mr.. Bryan those
OF secretary Of state they pledged
themselves to four years OF silence.
Hence the criticism Of those officials
for their frequent appearances as
orators since.
The criticism is not we'll taken.
Neither man pledged himself to any
such thing Both are at full liberty
to accept any invitations to speak at
public functions they may receive.
Both are very entertaining men
when on their feet. Mr.. Bryan's fame
is the wider, but Mr.. Marshalrs IL
growing.\ Before his present term Is
up the vice.president as an orator
will have a large following. Interest
In him Is developing in all sections.
Mr.. Marshall's critics are playing
into his hand by describing him as a
wild and woolly man from wild and
woolly state. This shows that they
do not know either him or his neck
OF woods. He Is as mild-mannered
man as ever cut the throat OF sham.
and Indiana is the habitat OF yarn
spinners and versifiers. Nothing OF
the wild and woolly attaches to either;
but tagging him in that way increases
interest where he Is now personally
a stranger
As for Mr.. Bryan. the public will
not be denied. AS an orator he IL an
old and a strong fancy. He seems to
grow In favor as the years go by. En-.
couraged by attention, he makes all

own. Politics. religion. sociology are
