LA TOILETTE SEAMEN'S
LAW IN EFFECT TODAY.

By United Press.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 4.-The
LaFollette seamen's law, which ship
ping interests have complained will
drive American shipping from the seas
because of the alleged unreasonable
equipment and life-saving apparatus
required by it for all American regis
tered ships, goes into effect today.
There has been much discussion and
several opinions by government off
cials concerning various phases of the
law. An effort to have the law res
pealed by congress this winter will be
opposed by the legislators who drafted
the bill.

Drainage Of
Irrigated Land

Injury wrought by over irrigation
manifests itself in several ways and
many places throughout our state.
Drainage is the means of reclaim ng
these lands.
The U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture have issued bulletin No. 1870
dealing with the subject of The Drain
age of Irrigated Land. II was written
by r. A. Hart, Supervising Drainage
Engineer. Mr.. Hart in his bulletin
goes into the problems of drainage,
outlining how work should be cor
ried on and the different methods to
be used.
That the drainage OF agricultural
lands is an important factor in the
future development of the irrigated
section is shown in the alarming pro.
portion Of the lands that have been
brought under irrigation VIII CHI are
now unproductive by reason of water
logging and alkali. The reclamation
Of these lands can cas- ly and econo-
mically be effected by drainage, fol.
lowed by proper cultivation, cropping,
and irrigation.
! The specific results which It is
proposed to accomplish by draining
are outlined in the bulletin as fol
lows:
/. To lower the ground water Ia.
Bile to such a depth that the moisture
and air conditions within the root
zone are properly balanced.
! 2. To provide an outlet for perco
lating water, so that fluctuations OF
the ground water table within the
root zone will be prevented.
! 3. To effect rapid removal of the
thaws.
4. To provide an outlet for the
downward moving water used to dis
solve out the injurious salts.
Farm drainage systems are design
ed upon the supposition that natura
drainage outlets exist or that artifi
cal outlets will be available.
The cost Of draining ordinary siz
ed farms having an average soil tina
is neither so hard as to require pick
ing nor so soft that extreme trench
ing difficulties will be encountered
will range from $40 to 20 per acr
with the average between $l4 an,
SIS per acre.

OLDEST HOTEL TO BE CLOSED
Many Working Girls Made Unhappy
When Hostelry Company An.
nounces Decision

New York, Aug. Warning that
the oldest hotel in New York VIII
be closed on August 2S, when more
than fifty working girls are to be
sent ashore from the ship Jacob A.
Stamler today caused much unhappi-
ness among the occupants of the
floating hotel. A notice posted on
the bulletin board, on the Stamler's
deck, read that Arbuckle's deep sea
hotel company has decided to retire
from the hotel business and will
serve no meals after August 2S.
For years the Stamler has been a
home for girls employed In shops
and stores at cost to them varying
from 81 to SO. so week. Many
Of them earned only 81 week and
fourteen of the girls are now unem-
ployed.
The city fire department had or
dered changes to be made in the
Stamler and 1t was said that the com
pany did not wish to go to the eX-
pense OF making them. The old ship,
built in 1867, was purchased by John
Arbuckle in 1901 and for several
years has been moored at a pier in
the East river as home for girls.
