HARVARD WON TWO
 IN THE MORNING Freshman Eight -Aared by One Length Varsity Four Dared by Five Lengths.

Harvard crews won both preliminary races in the annual regatta with Yale Friday on the Thames. The disagree able weather conditions appeared to have no effect upon the crimson oars men for in both varsity four pared and freshman eight pared races they led their Eli rivals from start to finish.
 The four cared race was little more than procession since Harvard took the lead at $40 when the referees pistol sent the crews away and stead fly increased it until at the finish of the two miles five lengths separated victors and vanquished. Harvard, linn 52s.; Yale, 12m., Ills
 The struggle for henors between the first year crews was. however. a real race and although the crimson won, the showing of the Eli youngsters was excellent. It was rowed up stream, starting at 10.32. Harvard won by a elength. The closeness of the race was shown by the fact that but four sec onds separated winner and loser for Harvard finished the two miles in 10 minutes, Al seconds, as against Yale's time of 10 minutes, 45 seconds.

IN THE NEAR FAST.

Tn addition to Mr. Roosevelt, large number of men have been mentioned for the ru1ership of Albania. No one knows who will be chosen. When King Otho was driven from Greece in 1862 it was thought that his successor would be either the czar's cousin, Duke of Leuchtenberg, to whom the national assembly offered the throne. or Prince Alfred. the future duke oS Edinburgh who, on a plebiscite, was elected by an overwhelming majority
 Both were out of the running. for Russia, Great Britain and France had bound themselves to the exclusion of any member of their reigning houses

ed with filings, the majority of which
have been made under the general
placer law providing that 100 acres
may be entered as an association
placer, but there is danger that the
legality of these filings may be des-
troyed by agreements made prior to
patent, to combine aAgroup Of placers
after patent is received in order to
obtain an area large enough to serve
as a basis for patent for extracting
and refining the salts
In short, the whole situation is
clouded and perhaps legally irremedi-
able under the pr sent statutes. 1t
is in recognition of this situation that
the Presidential Withdrawals have
been made They are in aid of legls-
lation of a type that will give securi-
" in operation to whoever may de-
sire to undertake development Of
these or other deposits. The with
drawals are not destructive of any
valid claims that may now exist. In
fact, in order that any rights here
tofore lawfully initiated may be pre-
served the withdrawal order itself
has been made to include the follow
ing phrase ''This withdrawal is
made subject to all rights lawfully in
itiated under any valid mining loca-
ions made upon such lands so long
as such rights are maintained in full
compliance with the law"
The constructive good faith of the
government in the withdrawal of
these lands in aid of legislation is
Indicated by the fact that concurrent
" with the withdrawal the Interior
Department has prepared the draft of
\ Law intended to relieve the present
chaotic situation and provide a safe
and sure legal basis for the develop
ment of the deposits now known and
any that may be discovered in
the future This draft has been sub
mitted to Congress for its consider
alton, and it's enactment will be urged
in order that American potash depOs-
It's may be developed under con-
ditions that are favorable to the pro-
ducer and will a. the same time pro-
tect the consumer.

POTASH LANDS WITHDRAWN.

The President has recently approx
ed the withdrawal of three tracts of
land of the desert-basin type in Cali
fornia and Nevada that are believed,
as the result of investigations by the
United States Geological Survey, to
cntain valuable deposits of potassium
salts and brines. The aggregate area
ihuS " ~ithdrawn is 133,S29 acres. The
first Of these Withdrawals covered
Columbus Marsh, Nevada, and was
approved on January 16, 1913 The
Lake California, arj, was approved on
Februa;" 81, I9'3 The third includ-
oh "a Is ~ the 1anami Il Valley, Cal
lfornia, the acreage affected being
24,567 acres SearleS Lake is the
last remaining, pocket of great an
cient lake, which has almost dried up
thus concentrating vast amount Of
saline minerals Millions of tons of
salt, soda, and bOrax fill the bottom
of the lake, and the deposits of soda
and borax have been worked, but
the development of the potash in
the. Lake deposits had not been con-
:sidered until recently.
The bitter disputes amounting al
moSt to warfare, that have resulted
from the attempts to secure title to
the potassium-rich lands of Searles
Lake since the discovery of potash
there have not only resulted in the.
pOstponement OF the highly desirable
experimental work on the deposits
themselves but have shown the utter
inadequacy of the present laws for
the acquisition of lands OF this type.

SINK OF HADES WILL BE ROB-
BED OF TERRoRs.

According to press dispatches sur
veys have been made and construc-
tion work will shortly begin upon an
undertaking whereby capital and en-
terprise will do much to lift the veil
that for seventy years has enshroud-
. ed Death Valley in greusome mys-
terry. A railroad is to be built from
Mile-Post station, sixty nine miles
north of Ludlow on the Tonopah &
Tidewater railroad to valuable min
eral holdings in the valley.
Heretofore Death Valley has been
as a country apart, setting for rO-
mantle tales and grisly tragedies, but
gions that ring the pole. Men have
gone there never to return; others
have returned and told something Of
it's deso1ation and limited at rich
mineral deposits; but even the gov
ernment surveys, prosecuted at great
expense, are fragmentary: land de-
scribed in the charts as low and level
has since been proved to be 5000 feet
high and fitted at an angle of 40
degrees.
Within this strange valley there are
places where man has never set
foot, that are less easy of access
than an African jungle. Hidden away
in it's countless fastness are unknown
things, perhaps even the bones of a
vanished race, remains of civiliza-
ton that antedate Rome. Seventy
years ago the first white man wan
dRre4 into the valley, but little more
of it is known than then.
With railroad penetrating it,
with water aid sustenanole near, the
haunt of terror may become the rem
devious of the sekeer after strange
scenes and the connoisseur in desert
colorings, the Ultima Thule of the
neurotic. 1t is even possible that il
the by no means distant future
Cook tours will be arranged beyond
the grim black Funeral Range.
Who knows but what this valley in
the days before the poles were re
adjusted was place of abundant raj
fall and teemed with strange life
Perhaps here in the cool of evening
the dinosaurus surveyed his ungainly
length, the mammoth trumpeted tC
it's mate across the precipitous ways
and the missing link ruminated or
the doings of politicians in power
Death Valley is a land of contra
dictions and anything may have hap
pened there in the days gone by
may even be happening there today
Half the year segment of Hades
in October the mellow haze of Indian
summer overlies the land and the all
is that of Lotus land. It's floor per
haps deeper below the sea level than
any other part of the earth's sur
face; yet Telescope Peak is. some
$1,000 feet above the sea level. A
country of scanty rainfall, yet a
country that has been devasted time
after time by cloud-bursts of unparal
leled intensity Its streams are two
both small, yet on the pointed peaks
of some of it's mountains are the beds
of old lakes.
