 There are, all told. about 1S0,0O0 acres of the most fertile alluvial soil on earth which will be reclaimed by this great irrigation project Of this amount, 10000 acres lie in New Mexico, 45,O00 acres in Texas and 25,000 acres in old Mexico. These lands are now selling for S35 to $50 per acre, according to location and condition. There is not an acre that will not be worth the maximum fig ure within a very short while after the water is turned on-and certainly as soon as it is cleared of mesquite roots and bosque and brought into cultivation.
 It is merely a matter of simple arithmetic, which the least informed may test for himself Land is worth just as much as it will pay current interest upon, after all expenses of working it have been deducted.

 But alfalfa is just a beginners crop. It is so regarded because i: requires practically no experience to grow it successfully It is so re garded, also because it requires no waiting beyond the season it IS planted before it begins producing. But there are other things which can be grown just as successfully hera, and almost as easily. which require longer period of waiting but yield many times the income produced nv alfalfa once they begin actually pro- ducing
 Take the matter of Bartlett pears, for instance. It takes about fon- years to bring them into bearing and five years for full bearing; but an orchard of Bartlett pears in full bearing will net the owner, in thls part of the world, anywhere from $750 to s9O0 per acre. Moreover during the period of waiting after the pear trees have been planted, the owner need not be idle nor per init his land to lie fallow.

Modern Greek.

A stranger came into our office and
graciously offered US some fruit which
he said he purchased downstairs In
the Greek grocery store. We asked
him what Greek grocery, and he said
the one right under US, in Holpos'
place. We have been here some time
and knew nobody Of that name, and
to satisfy our curiosity we went down
stairs to have look.
Sure enough, there was what did
look like "Holpos" on the end of the
awning, at least there were the let
ters H @ L P o s. standing out in
bold relief. We have learned since
that 1t is an abbreviation used by
the store which when translated
means Highest quality. lowest prices,

SAVING ART WORKS
How Paintings Hacked by Women
Are Restored.
Professionals Only Need Hot Iron,
Strong Fish Glue, Manila Paper
and New canvas-Many Men
Are Experts.

London.-Although Mr.. Sargent's
portrait of Mr.. Henry James, the nov
elist, was badly hacked by a cleaver
welded by suffragette at the opening
Of the Royal academy, 1t will not be an
over difficult task to repair It. The
work of restoration has been intrusted
to Mai. George C. Roller. says London
Tit-Bits.
In restoring the portrait the canvas,
after the painted surface has been pro-
tected with tissue paper. will be placed
on slate table. The back will then be
covered with sticky fluid. which will
be pressed through to the surface of
the picture with a heated iron. In this
way the canvas will contract. and the
cuts in 1t will close up. The canvas
will finally be refined. and many
spots where paint may be missing Will
be filled in by the restorer with a
special preparation.
There are men in London who fol-

IL the canvas Is a large one. Having
removed every bit Of canvas. the
grounds upon which paint lies are
taken away by solvents or gentle
scraping, until nothing remains but
the fragile shell of pigment adhering
to the paper.
The new canvas is then covered with
the strongest fish glue obtainable. and
pressed firmly down upon the paper
bearing the picture. AS soon as the
painting is firmly attached to its new
foundation nothing remains but to
take of the manila paper. This can
be done with hot water. and the our
face of the painting has only to be
cleaned to look as bright as it was
when the artist painted it.
We believe 1t was NJ. Haquin, a
French artist Of note. who first sue
cessfully transferred a panel painting
to canvas. He glued sheet of pa
per over the surface of the painting,
and afterward upon this fine layer Of
muslin. When the glue was dry he
planed down the panel until it was Of
the thinness of match wood. when he
scraped off the remainder with long,
flexible knife. This done. the mere
skin of color held together by the pa
per and muslin was left, and 1t was a
comparatively easy task to glue this to
a canvas and remove the paper and
muslin.
If an old picture has portion of its
pigment missing this may be replaced
by an artist with colors from a brush.
but sometimes old but worthless paint
ings are used for the purpose.
When the coloring of the drapery,

be, is found to match exactly the MISS

The Story OF "ReckIess and Prohioate"
Financial Operations Sent To the
Senate-Directors OF the Sys-
tenn Bitterly Scored.

Washington, d. C.-The story OF the
reckless and prohigate" financial
operations of the New Haven Railroad
one of the most remarkable chapters
In the history of American railroads
and American finance, was revealed IN
part by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in report to the Senate OF
Its investigation of that road.
Criminal negligence" and "one OF
the most glaring instances of malad'
ministration revealed in all the history
of American railroading," were the
terms the Interstate Commerce Com
mission employed in reporting on its
investigation of New Haven Railroad
financial affairs.
The Commissions conclusions may
be summed up this way:
Losses to New Haven stockholders
for the acts of their directors Will
range from s6OOOO,00O to $90OOO.O00.
Suits to recover the money should lie
in some cases.
Many of the transactions, character
ized violations of the laws of New
York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts
and the Federal Antitrust laws, have
been reported to the authorities of the
States and the Federal Department OF
Justice.
The depreciation of the Boston and
Maine began when the "Mellen-Mor-
gan-Rockefeller management" came
into control.
John L. Billiard and the Billiard Com
pany were merely agencies of the New
Haven; Billiard never used dollar Of
his own money and burned his books.
"Ali the assets of the Billiard Com
pany belong to New Haven stockhold-
ers and suit by the railroad against
Billiard and those who participated in
the transactions should be main
tanned"
Dummy corporations and their use
are condemned in unmeasured terms.
The system of interlocking directors
is condemned as it existed on the New
Haven and in general.
President Mellen's dealings with
former Police Inspector Byrnes. Of
New York, in the Westchester Rail-
road transaction, were branded as
corrupt and unlawful"
The purchase of Rhode Island troll
ley lines and coastwise steamships
were described as extravagant and
wasteful
All the transactions, the commits
sion holds, were consummated with
the object of setting up complete
transportation monopoly in New Eng
land in violation of the Federal
statutes.

Tourists Contemplated Trip to

Writer Tells of the Difficulties En-

Naples.-The difficulty of doing
Naples and its surrounding attractions

lively limited time was demonstrated,
writes a correspondent, when with
a trip to the crater of Vesuvius In
mind, l surveyed the cone from my
window balcony. Thick clouds enveE
oped the truncated cone, and there
was no sign of q change OF wind to

were other things that must be done

favorable, for by good chance during

months here and in Sicily, observing
conditions and endeavoring to obtain
specimens of the gases emitted from
Vesuvius, Etna and Stromboli, in their
research into the nature of the forces
which cause eruptions. 1t is to be
hoped that they will have the good
fortune to gain information to aid in
the evolution of a substantial working
hypothesis explanatory of the most
battling phenomenon now confront-
