Reclamation Service Already Has Spent 80,000,000 in Carrying Forward Project of Reckoning Lands

WASHINGTON. Nov Spcc.dD Through Frederick II. Newell, chief Of the U. s. reclamation service, Uncle Sam has to date spent gore than SS0,. OOO,0Oo in carrying forward reciama- tion projects in tine West. Thia money has been expended on twenty-five great reservoirs, T,56C miles Of canals, and otherwise in building up an irr.- gation system that is the wonder of the world
 The reclamation seryiee said Mfr NeyeI, 'is the instrument of the fed eraI government in creating homes in parts of the country that would be otherwise waste It makes possi. ble tho development of civilization within the desert areas where the cl- mate is favorable for the best devel- opment of plants and animals, but where Nature has neglected to sup ply the one essential of water.

 'To bring about these results it has already expended upward of ss0.

Some of these canals must pass through country where it is necessary to pierce rocky ridges in order to keep the water on cases to bring rivers from one valley across to another tunnels are built under the mountains. There have thus been built twenty-two miles of tun- nels, many of them large enough t3 carry whole rivers, and most of them Cement-lined.

 A discussion of the effect of fed eral administration of the public lands on the mining industry by J. F. Shafroth, senator from Colorado, fol- lowed. It was directed principally against government ownership of g. 425,00 acres of coal lands in Colo rado, valued he said, at from $5OO.- 100000 to $1.0O0, ,0O0.000. Mr. Shaf- roth urged the sale of these lands to citizens or to corporations for $400 Der acre. In this manner, he said, they would be developed. and would produce enough coal to last the en- tire world 300 years. The evening session was devoted to the address by q. R.

 According to news from the coast the war has been settled by an agree ment taat each road will make the distance Between Chicago and Saa Bernardino in the same time.
 Each road will make the distance in 6Gl hours and eastbCund in about 69 hours. The Salt Lake started the fight by lowering the time of it's Los Angeles limited by two and one Aali Tours. The Santa Fe then went one better and announced a running time for the California Limited that ec'ipssd that of the Salt Lake by thirty minutes, The Rock Island, not to be left cut of the lucrative tariff watch fast running time entices, is sged the statement that beginning November I6 the Golden State limit ed would make it in the same time that the Salt Lakes crack train makes.
 The Salt Lake train is operated by the San Pedro, Salt Lake X Los An geles raj road, the Union Pacific and the Northwestern. The San Pedro from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, the Union Pacific from Salt Lake C.ty to Omaha, and Northwestern from Omaha 10 Chicago. The Golden State limited of the Rock Island lines Is operated over the Rock Island from Chicago to Tucumcari.

Saxophones for Second Regiment
Band.

Ferdinand Crone and J. A. Ochs
constituted themselves a committee OF
two and solicited funds last week to
purchase set of saxophones for the
Second Regiment Band. This is
something the band should have had
long ago to better enable them to fur.
nish concert music. The saxophones
are reed instruments and replace some
of the brass instruments. The tone is
much softer and therefore better
suited to concert music. The set con.
sists of four instruments which will
cost about $3.50. The committee had
no trouble to secure donations to the
extent of 1915 and turned ovel the list
to the band boys Monday evening.
Only limited number of our citizens
we're seen by the committee and they
simply quit when they thought they
had enough money subscribed. 1t
appears now that there is about S75. 90
lacking which the band is perfectly
willing to take out of their Treasury.
They will, however, not refuse any
further donations, and any one will

Exhibits ct Public Schools.

Friday was exhibit day at the pub
lie schools and in general the report
shows larger attendance Of visitors
than ever before since the inaugura.
ton OF the annual exhibit and pro-
gram. Interest in school matters
seems to be keen just at present. The
Seventh Grade room had so many
visitors that not all could be accom-
modated. Fully two hundred parents
and friends visited the Union Build.
ing, thirty or more attended the joint
program given at the Washington
Building, and the North Primary had
seventeen visitors. The last record is
q good one considering that there are
fout thirty pupils enrolled there.
Another encouraging sign was the
presence of a number of the fathers
and for the fathers it may be said that
many of them have regularly looked
over the exhibits which have been in
the Review window all year.
At the East Primary an open air
program with May-pole drill was
planned. The showers kept number
OF the parents at home but about twenty
we're on hand and good many others
were able to view the drill from the
shelter of their porches. The exhibits
and programs as usual we're very
good.

Bank President Held Responsible

John Sharp, president Of the State
Bank of Commerce, Wlnnebago,
Minn., must stand for trial for with
holding information from the state
bank superintendent Kelsey S. Chase.
The supreme court yesterday over
ruled his demurrer to the indict-
ment and sent the case back for trial.
Sharp had inherited $150,000 from
relatives in Scotland and moved from
his farm into the town and went
into the banking business. The evil
dence showed he paid little attention
to the details, leaving this to H. w.
Parker, who plead guilty to embez-
element and is now serving time IN
states prison, and he cited this as
a defense. In commenting on this
phase of the case the supreme court
says: . -...
1.-THE construction contended for by
defendant as applied to reports made
by executive officers of banks would
almost wholly destroy the effective
ness of the law. This bank was the
custodian of the funds of it's deposit
ors. Its principal business was to
invest and safeguard their funds.
This defendant was chief executive
officer of the bank. 1t was his busi-
ness to know whether the reports he
made were true or false, and he
cannot oe heard to say that he pos
sessed no knowledge Of the truth or
falsity of the reports which he made
pursuant to call of the superinten-
dent of banks"
The court also upholds the 1909
law establishing a department OF
banks and making it felony to
withhold information required or to
misstate facts. 1t appears the call
for report was made February 20,
1912, and Sharp's return was that
the bank held no rediscounted notes,
while the amount held exceeded SlO,-
900; that the cash on hand was
S., ,161.59, while in fact it was only
S6.151. SO; that the overdraft was
S1.977.24, while it was proven that
they amounted to $4,977.24.

INSURANCE
UP, POLICE BLAMED

New York, Dec. 24.-With the price
OF eggs going up to 50, S. and 80
cents q dozen, little wonder was ey-
pressed that the Burglary Insurance
Underwriters association had in.
creased it's rates on all risks. Much
attention was devoted to the police
work, and it was intimated that il the
city had a more thorough police Or
ganization it would not be necessary
to raise the rates.
Commissioner Waldo, when asked
now much blame could be pat upon
his department said he could not see
any particular cause for criticism, as
accident insurance rates had been adj
vanced almost so per cent recently.
Regarding the statements that the
insurance men had hoped for impr0y-
ed conditions, Mr.. Waldo said in his
latest report that complaints of as.
sault and robbery decreased in rhe
year from Ills to 6S7, or SO per cent;
while the arrests for the crime in.
creased from 424 to 654. OF 81 per
cent, and convictions increased from
1O4 to 172, or IS per cent. Complaints
of burglary decreased from 9,10S to-
S,4S3 or Z per cent, while arrests Tor
the crime increased from 1,4S6 to
1886, or 30sper cent, and convictions
increased from 696 to 1,142, or 81 per
cent.
Mr.. Waldo believes that the city
has fewer burglars today than ever
in it's history.

STATE TO keep
CONV|CTS Cash

Jefferson City, Mo, Dec. 24.-Al-

the warden Of the penitentiary to set
aside a per cent Of the earnings OF
convicts for the use of their depend
ent relatives, no money will be set
aside. under the new contracts soon
to be awarded, Gov. Major said. 81.
The statute has never been com
piled with. The state already has
taken unlawfully from the convicts
over $l25,0O0 belonging by virtue Of
law to the dependents Of the inmates.
The new contracts will be awarded
at IS cents a day per convict. The
amount to which each convict is en-
titled after January 1 will be 33-4
cents a day. During the next two
years. for which the new contracts
run, if the statute is still ignored,
the state will have unlawfully depriv-

victs of approximately $65,0O0 addi'
tional.
Gov. Major says nothing can be
done without legislation. but admits
that Warden McClung could keep a
separate book account of the money
due the convicts under this statute
until the next legislature convenes.
The governor says the records OF
the institution will show how many
days are worked annually by each
convict and this could be used by the
Legislature as a basis for the payment
OF back money due the convicts, il
IT is decided to do so.
Attorney General Barker, member
of the board of prison inspectors,
said recently that he would ask that
this statute would be complied with,
and that the warden would be direct
ed to set aside the earnings as the
statute provides. even though lit can
not be paid until appropriated by

CATTLE RECORD

South st. Paul, Dec 24.-Liberal
cattle receipts and weak outside news
caused a considerable decline in val.
nes Of all sorts of stock in this de.
partment during the past week.
Runs the first half of the period were
rather generous for this season of
the year but were deficient in the
choice grades of killer. stuff which.
stood the best show in view of the
popularity Of the best meats during
the holidays.
Break Of rs to,4 cents was scored
for both steers and the stock in the
killer department. The showing Of
steers above $6.75 was small as the
big share Of this class was of very
ordinary. warmed over grade. A lot
Of the stock changed hands between
$3.50 and $500 and the proportion Of
such material over the latter figure
was scant although packers were
ready to pay liberal premiums for the
fancy kinds. Butcher and bologna
bulls and cutters and Gamers we're al.
so depressed. fH
Veal calves were steady until the
Thursday session when a drop of Is
to SO cents was observed. The top
lowered from $3.50 to 5000.
Only a small supply Of cattle and
calves got in for the final session Of
the week today. Prices were un-
changed but discounts noted earlier
in the week were continued in force.
Estimated receipts were 300Ncattle
and 100 calves which made the weeks
total about 300 cattle and 1900 calv-
es against $500 cattle and LII calves
last week and 6,S04 cattle and 1,704
calves a year ago. 1t was the largest
run Of cattle ever received, here,,in a
