ADDISON 4. OPTIMISTIC.

As a result OF the western trip Of
the committee Oh appropriations OF
the house of representatives, who
with members OF the reclamation
service visited this section last week,
Congressman Addison r Smith be
lieves that the work OF securing leg
islation beneficial to western inter
ests and western people will be ia
cilitated He is of the opinion that
the congressman. faNorablN impress
ed with what they have seen on the
trip, as they aver. have acquired in
formation and knowledge of condi-
tons which will induce them to CO.
operate with western members and
TO employ their influence with other
eastern members To the end that the
vest may profit
Heretofore Mr. Smith said.
most of the opposition in congress
to legislation calculated TO benefit
the west has been on the part of
eastern and southern members. They
have depended upon the secretary of
the state or the secretary of the in
terror for information as to western
conditions, rather than securing first
hand knowledge in this respect. The

the secret of success. The soil is
really injured by excessive moisture.
The history of those nations which
INDUCED in promiscuous and unset
entific irrigation shows that some OF
the choicest land on the face of the
earth has been rendered a desolate
waste, because of the mineral salts
brought TO the surface; and conse-
quently the soils would no longer
produce crops. On the contrary those
dry and semi-arid regions which
/ from the dawn of history have been
cultivated with but little water, are
as fertile today as centuries ago. As
before said, cultivation is the secret

ORPHEO THEATRE.

Thursday-"The Island of Regen- eration," a six-part adoption of Cyrus Townsend Brady's novel of the same name produced under the direction of Harry Davenport. In it's entirety, 'The Island of Regeneration" is an exceptionally satisfactory production, as a human interest drama and as an artistic photoplay in the inatter of physical environment. Edith Storey is just the actress to portray the varied life of Katherine Brenton, first the apostle of advanced ideas that leave no room for humdrum mar riiage, next the scantily clad com- panion of 8 Savage on desert island, and last of alI an orthodox woman ready to become a law-abiding wife. Miss Story does number of things exceedingly we'll during the years on the island when her character is undergoing the reiuvenating influ ence of primitive life She swims much as nature intended, without the hampering skirts of modern bath ing suit, likewise she poses graceful- ly on a rock-merely incidents, to be sure, but an audience will remember them.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
April 18-Lucretia Borgia.

To have enjoyed for several centuries
the reputation of being the "wickedest
woman in history" and then as by q
wave Of the magic wand of the historian
to re founo out to be really a very com
monplace sort OF woman, noted for moth
ing perhaps but piety and prudence must
be a relief to any Of flames favored chill
dren. LIcretia and her brother. Caesar
Borgia, were the children of a Pope ana
this alone has added a romantic interest
to their lives. The old story used to be
that when Pope Alexander VI-Redrieo
tBorgia-was summoned to Rome to be-
come pope he was living with a beautiful
valencian named Rosa Vanozza. and that
Caesar and Lucretia Borgia were two OF
their several children.
A more creditable story is that Alexan-
der was married to the mother of Luc-e-
tia and Caesar some time before his eleva-
ton to the ponrincate and that re had
uacome q wtdower some time before that
honor was conferred upon him.
Lucretia Borgia used to be accused Of
every possible crime that a woman could
commit for her own selfish advancement,
but that all seems to have been a fairy
story, for 1t row has been made clear
that, though Caesar was a man utterly
without scruple, Lucretia was guiltless OF
these charges. She was married at an
early age to the son of the Duke Of
Ferrara and after that time her lie
was uneventful. She had been highly
educated and was a woman Of consider
able intelligence. and but for the scandal
Gus tales which brought her unwarranted
fame and dishonor she was in no way,
different from a dozen or so other Ital-
ian women of rank living In the six
teenth century.
