Gently by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the State Corpora

decided to allow them on interstate
shipments. The states Of Montana,
Idaho, Nevada and Arizona declined
to allow these rates within their boun.
daries, and the matter will be prob
ably referred back to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The argument Of the express com
panies appears to be that good things
travel in small packages and as some
OF the most valuable articles shipped
by express are diamonds and other
precious stones, gold and silver trink-
cts, etc, the public can well afford
to pay a higher rate.

AGAIN TO BE FERTILE LAND
Building of E%uphrates Dam Calculated
to Restore the Prosperity Of
Old Mesopotamia.

With the completion of the Hindu
yeh barrage, on the River Euphrates,
the hrst step has been taken which
will ultimately turn Mesopotamia into
the fertile land 1t was in Biblical
times.
For ages the waters of the Tigris and
E%uphrates have run to waste in the
desert. or accumulated in unwholesome
marshes, and devastation and the de-
cay of centuries have set their mark
upon enormous areas that once bios
soned as the rose. In the great Baby
lonian plain, tradition has placed the
Garden of Eden, and the still visible
ruins of the old dams and canals show
how important a part was played by
irrigation on the economic prosperity
Of Chaldea. and Babylon.
After lying dormant for ages as the
result Of devastating wars, Tartar in
roads and Turkish apathy, fertility
is about to be restored to those desc
late regions as by the wave of a ma
giciau's wand.
The magician is the modern engi-
neer, IN the person of. Sir William
Willeoeks. who in 1909 was .commis-
stoned by the Turkish government to
prepare an irrigation scheme. In it's
entirely Sir William Willcoek's plan
entailed an expenditure of $751; 900,
and It is the FIRST portion of the works
which were in~eugurated.

supported by piers 10 feet high and
four feet thick, with key piers measur-

a foundation of TIRES feet Of concrete
