BRILLIANT AND SCHOLARLY COBB
 BEFORE GREAT
 AUDIENCE HERE

Last Tuesday night Alaskas chief counsel, Hon. John H. Cobb, spoke to a Coliseum full of people who learned more about the real Alaska situation than all the spell binders of the season have ever hinted-
 In low, but Well-carrying jury convincing voice John H. Cobb told why he was running for attorney general. At first the audience was restless, but after the first sentence all listened because there was some thing to hear. Mir. Cobb somewhere has acquired the school master way of telling things to people that has been the chief characteristic of Presi- dent Wilson's oratory
 Its the clear cut philosophy of Cobb's tax bill that shows who really wants Alaska for Alaskans. Cobb is the man who made it possible for DOT ton of our great wealth to stay here and when he told his straight for ward and simple story the packed house reverberated with approval and sealed the verdict in his favor so far as Juneau is concerned.
 Before the scholarly mind and trained intellect of Cobb the lunk head oratory of Mir. Crigsby was for gotten and no man heard him but who

PROTECTION OF ARID LANDS
is AIM OF SMITH BILL
ACT PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES OF
CONGRESS EXPLAINED
Measure Will Aid Persons in Posses
sion of Government and Pat
ented Land Which Can
Be Irrigated

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 30.-Because
of he widespread interest throughout
Southern California in the Smith bill
which passed both houses of congress
a few days ago, and which is destined
to change materially and to improve
the existing federal law governing the
reclamation of arid lands, the Los An
geles Examiner presents the following
analysis of the new law:
BY Frank Buren,
Former Register of the U. S. Land
Office
The act, "to promote the reclama-
ton of arid lands which recently
passed both houses of Congress, and
now awaits only the signature of the
President to become effective, is of
especial interest to all persons owning
or holding government land as we'll as
patented land within districts which
can be irrigated from common
source.
By it's enactment Congress has
recognized the benefits to be derived
by holders of arid lands from the irri-
cation district laws which have been
passed in all the arid land states, and
through this legislation has cooper
ated with such states in an efficient
and commendable manner. 1t ,bene-
fits the owner of patented or decided
land by making the public or unpat-
ented land adjoining subject to the
same law 1t is also of advantage to
the owner or holder of title to the
public or unpatented land, by render
ing such land subject to the lien or
mortgage supporting bond issue,
thereby facilitating the borrowing of
money to acquire water rights and
construct the necessary works to bring
the water on the land.
All Lands on Same Basis
In other words, it places all lands
within a proposed irrigation district,
regardless of the title under which it
is held, upon the same basis for the
purpose of raising funds to irrigate.
The only exception to the act is that
it does not apply to any proposed irri-
cation district which contains ma
jority acreage of unentered govern
ment land. That is, if majority of
the land is still in government owner
ship, has not been filed upon, the act
is not effective.
In all the probable irrigation dis
tricts in Southern California to be
formed under this act, such as the
Chuckawalla valley and the Victor val
ley, practically all the government
land has been filed upon under some
one of the agricultural land laws, so
that the exception noted would be of
no interest here.
The other provisions of the law
merely provide the details, for the
practical working of the act-Los An
geles Examiner.

MEND BROKEN BONES
WITH SCREWS, LATEST

DETROIT, Aug. 30.-The modern
surgeon can repair broken bones just
as a carpenter can fix a. broken chair
leg. The use of nails and screws in
uniting broken bones was advocated
by DR.. Arthur T. Mann, of Minneapo-
lis, in paper read before the section
on surgery of the American Medical
association here. He said: "a series
of experiments undertaken to demon
strate the results of nails and screws
used through joint surfaces in frac-
lures were uniformly successful in all
cases in which the fragments were
firmly fixed. In dogs operated on by
this method it was impossible to tell
which legs had been operated on with
out the most careful inspection. The
time of recovery varied from one to
three months"

s25. 5.ooo.ooo Canning Merger

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29-The
25,O0O,O0 merger of the principal
canning interests of California with
the biggest salmon packing interest in

The fruit Gamers and factors in the
new organization are the California
Fruit Gamers association, Central
California Gamers company, Griftln &
Skelly and J. K. Armsby company.
Sixty-eight per cent of the stock OF
the Alaska Packers association was
in the pool tonight to insure the
entrance of that company into the
deal. This is enough to make certain
the amalgamation of the association
and the fruit interests.

French Sets Mark in Hurdles

NEW YORK, Aug. 20. = Frank
French, the University of Maine hurd-
Ter, who recently joined the New York
Athletic club, set new worlds rec
ord for the 120-yard low hurdles in a
special race at the annual athletic
carnival of the Eccentric Firemen at
Celtic park, Sunday, defeating Jack
Eller, for many years the mainstay of
the Irish-American Athletic club, over
the sticks.
French's time for the race was IA
fiat. Although slight wind blew
down the track, it is thought the rec
ord will be accepted. The old mark
was IA Is.
In the race at Sheepshead Bay early
in the summer, Eller set a mark of
13 As, but, as the track was boarded,
French's mark probably will take
precedence, for the reason that it was
made on cinder path.
