ssrTNHE work of this department in water
i ing and thereby reclaiming desert lands
in the West is going right ahead, and a new
scheme is being successfully operated, by
which the irrigating jobs are paid for with
out taking money out Of the treasury. The
settlers raise the money for themselves,
forming irrigation districts under the laws
of the state in which those districts are
located, and issuing bonds.
"A question in this line came up the other
day that had q strong human touch. In
Arizona, not far from the Salt river irrigated
area-the place, you know, where the
Roosevelt Dam is located-there are 95 900
acres that could be watered by the develop
ment of another river, the Verde, supple
mented by three minor streams. Some folks
have got together for this purpose, and have
built two dams on the Verde, to impound
water for what they propose to call the
Paradise project.
well, the Salt river people don't approve
of the scheme at all. They don't want the
Paradise project developed, because there
might come time when they would want
to use the water of the Verde river them
selves. There might be a long drought, and
the water would come in handy. Meanwhile
they are satisfied to allow it to run to waste.

Additional interest is lent to the chart n

venson. In 1890, the same year in whick
the author of Treasure Island began hh
four year residence in Samoa. which, Incl
dentally, marked the last chapter Of his
life, Stevenson voyaged in the steamer
Janet Nichol among the islands of the
South seas. Mrs. Stevenson and her son
Lloyd accompanied him, and in her Cruise
of the Janet Nichol'' she refers to the charts
of the natives.
These charts" writes Mrs. Stevenson,
are curious things made Of sticks, some
curved, some straight, caught here and
there by. small yellow cowry. The COW.
ries represent islands, the sticks both cur
rents and winds and days sailings The dis.
tances between the islands have nothing 70
do with the number of miles, but with
hours only. These charts are very little
used now, only one old chief knowing how
to make them, but the time was when each
young chief must pass his examination In
the charts, knowing them by heart, as thew
were never taken to sea, but kept at home
for reference and continual study"
In spite of many differences of opinion re-.
garding the correct Interpretation of the
charts, it is generally believed that tn.

sylvania say, however, that while the ponu-
lar explanation of the sticks is that they
represent currents, as Mrs. Stevenson saws.
a more accurate Interpretation would be fay
more involved, owing to the procession fros
the four quarters of the sea of four distine
sets of swells during the season of nati1
navigation. The behavior of these swc.
was closely studied by the native naviss
tors, and the results of their observatius
were incorporated in the charts.

augmented scale. Under this plan the whole
region from Portland, Maine. to Washing
ton, D. c., will become q single electrical
area.
The scheme is to interconnect the cleo
trio power systems of this great region and
put them within reach of the cheapest
sources of steam and water power; this to be
accompanied by a general electrifcation
of the railroads. Existing power companies
and railroads already electrified will form
nucleus for the contemplated system. Coal,
for the production of power, will be burned
as near the mines as possible, and water
powers will be developed whenever this can
be done to advantage.
"A fundamental object is to save coal,
and to relieve the railroads of the burden
of hauling coal for their own use and for
power purposes-this haulage being over
one third of their total traffic.
"It is suggested that there shall be
main 250, 600 volt line extending all the
way from Washington to Boston, fed by
tap lines from group of large power sta
tions at the nearest soft coal fields and from
another group at the hard coal fields, sup
plemented by auxiliary water powers de-
veloped on the Delaware and Susquehanna
rivers. The tap line from the soft coal
fields to the main lire at Philadelphia will
be $50 miles long, and a second tap line
of about the same length will connect New
York with the hard coal fields. Possibly
a third tap line might bring electricity 2oO
miles from Cedar Rapids, on the st. Law
renee river, to the point where the main
line crosses the Hudson.
'"The great base load Of the super
power system will be carried by large steam
and hydro electric plants. Groups Of small
steam powers. or water powers, will be
connected with the nearest distributing
systems, and not with the main go, 600 volt
line. -.

the development of the plan, Congress has
given the Interior Department S125 900. 1t

tion OF electricity, and the application Of
