THIS MAN GETS HIS
 LIVING ON A DESERT

Since 1885, w. E. Brown has been wrestling with the soil in Utah. Tn the November Farm and Preside, a writer says:
 "Not how to get back to the soil, but how to stay on desert soil miles away from big towns and yet make living that was problem confronting w.. F. Brown at his little place on the Green River in Utah He began the struggle about 1885, so it may be seen he has been at it for a good while.
 "Irrigation is absolutely necessary on such place. There is an abundant water supply all the year round in the Green River. Pumping, you say, is all that is necessary. Remember, how ever, that pumping machinery costs money, that gasoline or ether fuel IS something that must be paid for Then consider that most settlers in such places are not abundantly sup piled with ready money and you have the situation at the start

FUSES SILK FIBER
TENDON IN OPERATION
NOTED SURGEON CLAIMS 1T WILL
TAKE THE PLACE OF THE
NATURAL PART

Philadelphia, Oct 80 Before The
Clinical Congress of Surgeons at the
Polytechnic Hospital DR. J X Young
today demonstrated how tendon
could be made out of silk fiber and
substituted for a natural tendon in the
leg of patient recovering from in
fantile paralysis. Heretofore con
valescents from infantile paralysis has
extended over a period of from four to
Eight years. BY the new method 1t is
predicted that recovery will be a mat
ter of months only.
The patient operated on was an is
yearold girl, whose leg has been yir-
tually useless for the past two years
A part Of muscle from above the
knee was takne by DR. Young and in :
serted in place of the paralyzed
muscle below the knee. The tendon
of silk was attached to the muscle in
its new place, 1t was predicted that
the muscular tissue would grow
around the silk tendon and that it
would assume the same functions as
an ordinary tendon.

OKLAHOMA SUPREME
COURT FAR BEHIND
WORK OF TRIBUNAL WILL COME
BEFORE STATE LEGISLATURE;
COMMISSION TO BE
CREATED

Oklahoma city Oct 9O-The work
OF the supreme court Of Oklahoma is
still 50 far behind that there will be a
problem before the coming legislature
as to disposing OF accumulated cases.
The current number Of cases is in eX-
cess Of 500 The cases now before
the court number between 800 and coo
ara the latest submitted is numbered
approximately $500 The present
commission Of four regular divisions
Of three commissioners each and two
divisions OF district judges who de-
vote little time to the appeals will not
be able to complete the cases already
submitted by the time the commission
shall expire under the law, Jan 3l
1917.
It is expected that the legislature
will extend the present commission,
or re~create it in some form that viii
further clear the supreme court
docket The commission has made
progress in gaining upon the accumu-
lated cases, and another two years is
expected to bring the docket to a con
dltion that will approximate current
disposition of appealed cases
It is understood that Governor vii
liams has not decided upon any recon-
mendations as to the courts, and will
probably leave the subject to the
legislature without specific recon
mendations with respect TO the su-
preme court commission

Oklahoma City Oct 30-Accordlng
10 p J Goulding, vice chairman of the
state Capitol Commission. the building
is now almost ready for the coming
session Of the Legislature. The legis
lative halls and committee rooms have
been rushed to completion under a
clause in the contract that provides
for the rooms being ready for the term
Of the Legislature that viii begin in

The arrangements for the Leg'sla
ture are sure to be completed by the
time set for that body's assembling. "
said Mr. Goulding. "Of course. there
will be a great deal of work to be done
On the building during the session.
and that will no doubt make for in
convenience Of the members and Sen
alors and the public, but the cham
bers and galleries and committee
rooms will all be ready. The work, as
whole, has made such progress that
it is now certain the building will be
ready for the state, as a whole, sew
eral months before the time set in the
contract, which Is in August next"
business organizations of Oklahoma
City are planning for approaches to
the capitol, One plan is to widen the
street that leads directly to the front
of the building at right angles. This
street IS but sixty feet wide and the
plans contemplate making it 100 feet
wide and ornamonted with an es
planade This plan has not yet been
definitely adopted
Another question that is uppermost
against the coming opening of the new
capitol is transportation facilities. AT
this time no street car line runs con
tnuously from the city to the capitol,
but by changing from one line to an
other a person may get within about
three blocks of the building Some
plan will probable be devised to get
the cars closer to the capitol than at

HOTELS OVERLOOKING
tBy Associated Press

Petrograd, oct 80 The housing
problem in Petrograd has become
more and more serious. as refugees
have poured in, oyercrOwding the
hotels, filling all available lodgings,
and producing state Of congestion
throughout the city Il has proved
particularly perplexing to thousands
Of university students. AT present
there is hardly an unoccupied apart
ment IN the city, nor vacant room in

generously yielded to the tremend
Gus demand for rooms, and disposed
Of them at high prices to a pancky
public which filled them with the
celerity and eagcrness Of persons con
fronted with the prospect Of sleeping
in the parks
The predcament Of the student
class, which having little money to
spend, has naturally been unable TO
compete in the scramble for rooms
with doubled or trebled prices, had
been the subject of several confer
cncos Of the university faculties
which have made appeals to the city
authorities to take immediate meas
ures to provide for the large number
of homeless students Many OF these
students are now sleeping on park
benches, or spending the night in
walking the streets, while the more
fortunate ones are sharing rooms
which as many as five or six have
taken together
One proposal is that hotel proprie-
tors be compelled to give certain
number of rooms at low rate to
students. Another is that some Of the
moving picture theatres be converted
into lodging houses, and that the idle
steamboats, ON the Neya be reQuisi-
toned.
