FIND NEW METHODS FOR
CLEARING AND IRRIGATING
Government Experimental Station
Gives Out Result of Labors.

New methods of clearing off rough
farm lands, making undeveloped areas
in California practical for cultivation
under irrigation and detailed data on
irrigation In this State, are announced
by the Agricultural Experiment Sta.
ton of the United States Government,
conducted In connection with the Col
lege of Agriculture at the State Uni
versity. The data was secured by
f. w. Roeding, irrigation manager for
the station, under the direction of Pro
fessor Samuel Fortier, chief of irriga-
ton in the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Roeding states that the investiga-
tons just completed show 1876, 900
acres of irrigable lands in the State
under existing systems, of which D.
100000 acres are being actually irrl-
gated at the present time, including
areas of native meadow and wild grass
lands, and over 100000 acres in the re-
claimed swamp lands at the mouths
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers.
Rapid development of population in
the agricultural districts, and increase
in the States wealth are now pre-
dicted following the recent passage of
laws controlling and regulating stream
diversion, eliminating expensive lit-
cation which has previously tended
to retard advance of capital in irri-
cation development.
The area Of irrigable lands in the
State, according to the Government
engineers, Is as follows: San Joaquin
valley, 2,15O,OOO acres; Sacramento
valley, 100000; coast country, includ
ing the Salinas river, the Pajaro river
Francisco bay region, $4,000 acres;
Southern California, including Impe-
rial, Riverside, San Diego, San Ber-
nardino, Orange, Los Angeles, Ven
tura, Santa Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties, $4,000 acres.
Latest developments in methods of
clearing foothills, brush and trees, in
preparing land for irrigation at cost
averaging $35 an acre, have been
worked out by using cable and hook
with team attached, when the ground
is wet. This method, according to the
report, has been found most success
full. Brush is removed by dragging
heavy railroad rails over the area to
be cleared, attaching team to each
end of the rail.
The report is the first of a series to
be published by the Government irri-
cation men, subsequent numbers to be
published for the advantage of pros
pective ranchers interested in an
nouncements of the most recent find
ings as to methods of preparing land
which has not been previously adapted
to soil cultivation.

AIqy Telephones.

Algy staggered into the postoffice
and entered the telephone box. He
was Immediately clad. and in lord
ly humor.
"Hello!" he drawled, putting the re-
ceiver to his ear.
A minute passed. He repeated the
summons His lordly humor began to
descend in rank.
'Hal-lo." he called.
No response.
"Halloi"
Still no response. His lordly humor
was now as gone as his temper, and
he shouted things into the receiver
which must have made even that ex-
perienced instrument tremble.
At last, when the perspiration drib-
bled from his bursting brow, and his
hat was limp, and both he and his Ian
guage were exhausted, a notice caught
his eye. 1t read:
GIVE the number you require to
the clerk at the counter, and wait I'M
til the connection is made"
He skunk away so quietly that no
one saw him go.

WAS STILL MAUD LILLIAN
New Head and Body for Child's Be-
loved Doll, But bair Was
the Same.

With tears in her eyes and large
and very much damaged doll in her
arms, very little girl appeared at
the mending counter of a dolls hos
pital the other day and displayed her
broken treasure. The dolls face was
broken, one arm was completely gone
and one foot was minus all the toes.
The very little girl confided to me
clerk that she wanted dolly made
well again I'm afraid it won't be
worth while to fix it." said the clerk,
regarding the new patient obviously.
you see there would have to be a
new head and new arm and new leg.
really think 1t would be better for
you to get a new doll"
The tears overran the eyes of the
very little girl at this suggestion.
But | want her to look like this
Lillian too much to have a new doll
in her place. You can get a new
head for her and a new body, too, if
you like, but | want her to have the
same hair that she has now, so she'll
look like her old self"
The toy shop people are used to
carrying out the individual ideas of
the little mothers of the dolls, and so
no objection was made to preserving
Maud Lilllans identity by means of
her somewhat crumpled golden locks.
A beautiful new doll of the proper
size was chosen, her glossy new wig
removed and the broken dolls wig
substituted. Newly bewigged in this
fashion and robed in the garments of
the discarded doll, Maud Lillian bore
a resemblance to herself that was
startling, considering the rather ex-
tensive anatomical alterations that
had been made in her. The very lit
tie girl seized her triumphantly and
bore her away, but the onlooker who
had witnessed the operation could
not but wonder In what Maud Lii
lian's ego really consisted

Inviting Temptation.

Many people plan for defeat like
the boy whose mother told him that
he could not go to the river, nor
swimming, but he did. When he re-
turned and his mother saw the signs,
he confessed that he was tempted
and went with the boys. She noticed
that his coat bulged out. Putting her
hand in she pulled out his bathing
suit, When confronted with it he
said, Il was afraid that l might be
tempted when l got there, so | took
these along Some people expect
to fall, and plan for it.

Well-Dressed American Men.

The best-dressed men are to be
found in New York, says German
paper in an article c" the decadence
in male fashions. in which the writer
laments the fact that men of the pres.
ent day are content to be clothed
and no longer trouble about elegance
in dress
Germans, this authority asserts,
don't look we'll in civilian dress. not
even the Emperor. He sails danger
ously close TO lese majestic by further
stating that the Kaiser wears his
trousers too short; that the Crown
Prince is too much influenced by
French fashions and that the rest of
the royal family simply know moth

the wedding she sailed for London to

entirely of the brilliant plumage of

The Antiquity of Man.

1t has been known during long
time that in western Europe man ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We
now know that the great ice age con-
sisted of different glacial times sepa-
rated by interglacial times. In glacial
times the snow line dropped 5000 or
1000 feet below its present level in
the Alps, whereas in interglacial times
it lay about 1000 feet higher than at
present. Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher in the interglacial
periods than 1t Is now
There is abundant evidence, in the
opinion of Penck. that man existed du-
ring the beginning of the last glacial
epoch, There is some reason for
thinking that at least 10000 years
have elapsed since the last glaciation
and that the man whose jawbone was
found in 1909 near Heidelberg lived
100000 years ago.-Scientitic Ameri-
can,

At WORK AGAIN
Congressmen Back at Their Desks In
Washington With Much Busi-
ness to Transact

Washington, Jan. 3.-Congress re-
assembled for the remainder Of the
short session yesterday with the most
of the members who went home for
the holidays back at their desks
There are prospects of a lively time
this month on account of the various
tariff schedules TO be taken up.
A great deal of interest centers
around Representative Oscar Under
wood, whose health is not at all what
it should be. AS chairman of the
House committee on ways and means
it is most important that he should be
in his place during the discussions on
the tariff In case he is not able to
fulfill his duties at all times it has
been said that Representative Randall
of Texas would take his place. but
there are those who oppose Randall
because of some of his hitherto ex-
pressed views on tariff revision.
The Senate leaders on the republi-
can side Will 10 all in their power to
block any unfavorable legislation sent
to the upper house. With their ma
jority in this Congress and tie in
the next, they hope to get sufficient
support from the progressives to make
a successful fight against the demo-
Gratis. The latter, however. declare
that their plans are so well laid that
they have no serious fear of the re-
publican opposition, since they also
are counting on a certain number of
votes from the prOgressives.
