LAST LAND CHANCE
FOR INDIVIDUALS
Secretary of Interior Lane
Says That Pioneering Now
Needs Some Capital.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE American
people are taking up the public domain
In homesteads so rapidly that in few
years all of the arabic land will be
settled, according to the annual report
of Secretary Of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane.
The secretary says the solution Of the
problem of getting more land for the
people lies in the devising of some
scheme for utilizing the great hidden
reservoirs of water under the earth.
The report says there are vast stores
Of water underlying the great Ameri-
can deserts, and the exercise of suf-
ficient engineering genius can tap these
supplies and bring under cultivation
millions of acres of land now desert.
In addition the use of streams and
other surface water can be increased
to provide more land for food raising,
the report says.
Secretary Lane says that the pioneer
spirit is as much alive in America to-
day as 1t ever was and points to the
fact that nearly 20,000,00O acres of the
public domain were taken up In home
steads in the last fiscal year. This
compares with 100000 acres the
previous year, 100000 for 1913 and
100000 for 1912.
Generally speaking, Secretary Lane
says, the day of the individual pioneer
will have passed In five years. After
that time the taking Of public land
will require so much capital invest
ment for irrigation or reclamation
from swamps that the man Of small
means will have to give place to
weather. interests.
Secretary Lane reports that the bu-
reau Of Indian affairs has been work
ing steadily to better the condition of
the red men and has increased the In
dian population slightly. Many Indians
are being freed from government ward
ship, and while large numbers of them
take their funds and spend the money
for automobiles or clothes indiscrimi-
nately, most Of them take their re-
sponsibilities as their own masters seri-
ously and attempt to be producers.

SO | DIE RS FALL FUR WRIST
 WATCHES

F LPASO, Texas, Sept '. - With about forty thousand state and regu- lar troops on station here, approxi mately five thousand wrist watches have been sold in Fl Paso within the last sixty days, a leading local dealer estimated.
 Without wrist watch the average national guardsman seems to feel that his equipment is incomplete. Origin ally the regular soldiers in the mount ed branches adopted the fad, pointing out that it is much more convenient to turn the wrist than to dig into a watch pocket. But in the main the nfantrymen chung to the pocket watch.
 However, with the arrival of the militia. men of all branches clamored for wrist watches. Soon the stocks of local merchants were exhausted Rush orders to factories brought more watches and now Fl Paso jewellers druggists. clothing merchants. sigal druggists. stationery stores and even fruit stores display wrist watches ir their windows.

AURORA BOHEALIS NOW VISIBLE
 SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Sept :. - On a cloud less night during the rest of this year the people of this vicinity will be able to see display of Northern lights. according to Professor Samuel l.. Boothroyd. professor of astronomy, in charge of the observatory at the uni yersity of Washington.
 The Northern lights. scientifically known as the Aurora Borealis, will appear as a brilliant white are in the northern heavens. It is probable that streamers of green light will be mo- ticed within the arc But it is not likely that the more vivid hues seen in the more northern attitudes will be visible here.
 The Aurora Borealis reaches its maximum display after II years. At the same time that the spots on the sun are most numerous the Nor thern lights are most brilliant in col or and most easily seen by the human eye.

KITCHENS NJ LONGER
 HIDDEN

EL PASO, Sept '. - One of the simplest yet most effective Of the many reforms introduced into the Am erican army since the days of the Sranish-American war. relates to the camp kitchen.
 Kitchens used to be stuck in the rear as far from the officers TOW as possible where they could not be seen by visitors. They were treated as un- slightly nuisances. But in the camps now stretched along the border the cook shacks stand, if not under the noses of the camp commanders. at least within reach of their noses.
 Entering camp on the outskirts of Fl paso, the visitor finds on the first street a line of officers tents to one side and line of mess sheds on the other Officer and cook face each other a large part of the day. These sheds are roofcd, but their sides are of wire screen, which permits an unobstruCted view of their workings.
 In former days, inspection of the kitchen was a matter of pertunCtory routine. As the officers had their sep arate mess, they took an official rath- CT than personal concern in the kit chens, and seldom tested the food un- less a complaint had been made.
