PROSPERITY SEEN
THROUGHOUT WEST
DIRECTOR OF RECLAMATION
NEWELL Is OPTIMISTIC
OVER OUTLOOK.
Excellent Crops and Good Prices,
Settlers on Projects Are Rounding
Out the Year in Very Cheerful
Frame OF Mind, lie Declares
Much Money Is i'm Circulation.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-(SpeciaD |
The director of the reclamation
service. F. II. Newell. has just re-
turned to Washington after an ex-
tended tour of investigation of the
big engineering works of the govern
ment in Montana, Washington. Idaho
Oregon, California, Utah, Nevada,
Arizona and New Mexico
with excellent crops and good
prices the settlers on our projects
are rounding out the year in a very
Newell Bankers and merchants
report more real money in circulation
than in previous years, old debts are
being cancelled and credit is more
readily obtained. Paradoxieal as ii
may seem, the prosperity of 1913 has
been accompanied by a general low
ering in land prices. Most land val.
ues in the irrigated west were unduly
advanced during the past five years
until they had reached a point where
the west no longer continued to at
tract the people of moderate means.
Future development OF the agri-
cultural lands of the arid west is to
be accomplished by a more intelli-
gent effort to secure settlers who will
cultivate the soil rather than spec
ulate on the advance in land prices.
There is a better appreciation to-
day Of the real difficulties incident
TO subduing a desert farm and also
of the fact that the west still offers
opportunities to men Of moderate
means as well as to men without
ready money but Of average intelli-
gence and frugality who are willing
to work hard. Actual failures on the
government projects are relatively
few in number and at the present
time II would appear that fairly
: permanent class Of settlers are now
established on the farms. There is
a marked change also in the attitude
Of the public toward government ac-
stiyities in reclamation. In former
years unfavorable comparisons were
drawn concerning the cost Of federal
work. but in the light of the financial
difficulties which have been encoun-
tered by private enterprises and OF
the failure Of many Of these to fur
nish a dependable water supply, the
wisdom of the governments larger
outlay IS no longer questioned.
"The confidence in the future OF
these irrigated lands is based upon
the excellent crop returns for 1913
The average value per acre Of prod
ucts grown on the new government
farms is almost exactly the same as
the average for the products grown
on irrigated lands under older sys'
TENS There is everywhere in the
west urgent request for more rapid
extension of federal activity. and sew
eral of the western states have made
special appropriations for coopera'
ton with the reclamation service"

NO PUBLIC BUILDING
APPROPRIATIONS LIKELY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Cfties and
communities looking forward to the
forthcoming appropriation bill to give
them federal building may as well
prepare to be disappointed. 1t is said
that no public buildings measure will
be introduced in the present congress
and two reasons are given for this
determination. The first is that the
total appropriations of this congress
already threaten to overtop those OF
any previous term, and the second Is
that the treasury architects are SO far
behind ON buildings already author
lied that 1t will be better to wait un-
III some plan Is adopted to straihten
this matter out. 1t now requires about
three years to get a building started
after II has been authorized by con-
gree9.

ALEXANDER MAY YET
 ESCAPE GALLONS

Little Rock, Feb. P. Through a mistake in the issuing of a re- spite to the Jefferson county murderer may escape the gal lows, even should he recover from his present state of insani- -ty. One of the last official ac- tions of Gov Donaghey, was to grant six months respite to Alexander, which fixed the date of his execution at June 2, but instead of dating the respite ahead, it bears the date of June 26, 1912, six months prior to the time the respite was issued.
 Alexander is confined in the penitentiary hospital. He has not spoken for over a year, and takes nourishment only when it is forced down his throat by physicians. He is under sen tence of death for the killing of J. P. Kelly in Pine Bluff saloon. He killed several people prior to that time. It was on account of the insane condition of Alexan- der that he was not hanged near ly year ago, two long respites having been granted in order that he would have an opportuni- ty to improve or die before the date of execution.

CALDWELL < DRAKE
 MAY ACCEPT BILL

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-George W. Caldwell X Drake, the former state capitol contractors, after a stay of two weeks in the city left Friday afternoon for his home in Indiana. Before going he de- c1ned to make any statement about the bills introduced in the Senate Friday morning, one by Senator Jacobson, offering to settle the dispute between con- tractors and the state, and mak. ing the members of the Su. preme Court the board of arbi- tratlon, and the other by Sen ator Moore, providing an appro- priation for the completion of the capitol, but making the ex- penditure of S173,5 500 contingent upon the finding of the board of arbitration. If the state is sue cessful, the work will be done, If Caldwell & Drake win, they will be paid out of the $173, 800.
 The Jacobson bill requires the contractors to accept the propo- sition within sixty days, and file a bond of S200.00O, from which the state can collect any sum due it, if the board of arbi- tration decides the contractors are indebted to the state.
 It is probable Caldwell & Drake will accept the bill and file the bond, which is a heavy one, but the contractors have always been able to give bond for any amount, and if the terms suit them they will have no difficulty in doing this.

A Father Who Used His Child to Get Him
 Drink

A bartender, writing an article entitled What Man Will Do for a Drink" in the March Amer ican Magazine, tells the following story:
 You remember the old tenn perance melodrama in which the drunkard tries to trade his wife's wedding ring for drink? Perhaps some of you think it is exaggerated. It is al [ roSt anus ing to remember some of all the things drunkards will offer for a drink. The early morning watch usually gets that kind fellows desperate for a drink to brace up after a nights de- bauch. l give away many drinks during that time of day if there is a chance to get them to go home. They offer clothes, jew elry-anything for a dr in k There was one fellow who made me sick of the entire business, and of some human beings. He came into the bar where 1 was then employed carrying in his arms one of the prettiest little girls 1 ever saw, about three years old. He put the child on the bar and told her to ask me to give him a drink. She said, Please give father a drink, and smiled. He had taught her that. 1 saw he had already been drink ing, and refused. Then he told the little girl to sing for drink. Finally 1 was so disgusted l walked away, and he grew an gry. pulled tiny ring off the baby's finger, and offered to leave it as security for the drink. That is where 1 turned loose. 1 told him 1 had met low persons and disgusting ones, b ut he reached the limit; and 1 inform ed him of my intention to tell the police. 1 looked him up to see what I could do. His wife had divorced him, but the court per mitted him to have the baby one

pfNITfNTIARY BOARD
 BILL ENDORSED

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-Govern- or Robinson has approved the hill creating Penitentiary Board and heartily endorses the oction of the law makers in thus nroyiding for this needed re- form. He suggests however that there has been serious ov- orsioht since the Constitution provides that
 "The General Assembly shall have no power to create any per manent state office not expressly provided for in this act.
 It does not, however, prohibit the creation of a department for term of years, and the Govern oSuggests that the bill be re- introduced to make specific pro vision that it shall be created for term of years ending March 31, 1881. He says this change will relieve all doubt as to the Constituti0nality of the measure. He says:
 Tt is often quite difficult to distinguish between a public em- ployment and a public office. If the duty is prescribed by con tract the employment is not an office. The general trend of the authorities is to the effect that if the duty iS continuing one, de fined by law, to the performance of which an individual is ap- pointed, and the duty continues without regard to the personnel oi the individual, an office and not a mere employment re- suits.
