Some Things You
The Irrigation
The United Slates Land and Trrlftitlnn
exposition which begins In Chicago. Nov -
ember 20. rromlses to be the most unique
and complete showing of the successes of
Irrigation that ever has been made. The
products of the erstwhile Great American
desert will bo on exhibition In the richest
profusion, and will tell their own story
of whit Irrigation may be expected to mean
to the American people In tho generations
to come. "Save the forests, store the
floods, reclaim the deserts and build
homes on the land" is the motto cf those
who have the Irrigation Interests of the
country at heart.
This will be the first exposition ever
held solely to promote the colonization of
new land In this country, now made avail
able to homeseekers, because of the re
rent reclamation of vast expanses of arid
tracts. The object of the exposition Is to
guldo and Inspire tho "land hunger" of the
nation. The Irrigated lands of the weat
afford opportunities for thousanda of new
homes. It will not be a mere county fair
exposition of land products, although tha
products will be exhibited, but It will b
an educational Institution for the exem
plification of the possibilities of farming
In lands reclaimed from tha desert.
California will tell the story of fifty
years progress from one lone orange tree
to an annual crop of 28,000 carloads. Utah,
Arlxona, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, all
the arid and seml-ai Id slates, will hav
exhibits showing tliftt arid land with Ir
rigation is to be preferred to the best of
land without Irrigation. It la said that
there are from 70,0-X,00 to 10.000,000 acres
of lrrlglble land In the I'nlted States, each
acre of which might be made to produce
enough to Bupport a human ioul. Ten mil
lion acres have been irrigated, the bulk of
It by private capital.
It Is well that America lias embarked
upon an era of irrigation. Tha statisticians
calculate that the appetites of men are
growing bigger with the passing years,
Although 'the population of the world has
Increaaed oniy 22 per cent in the last forty
years, the amount of food products re
quired haa Increased 40 per cent in the
same time. In other words, men eat about
one-fifth mora than they did a generation
ago. With tha population of the world
Increasing at the rate of 8.000,000 soula a
year, and the appetites of the people grow
ing proportionately, the business of making
two bladoa of grass grow where one grew
before will be an increasingly great bene
faction to the race.
Statistics showing the per cent of the
arabla land actually under cultivation in
the various atatea show remarkable facta.
Onlv M Tint ient of th npihu lanil In
Massachusett. ia cultivate. In New Tork
only 64 per cent is cultivated; In Ohio, 70
per cent; In Indiana, 66 per ceut; in Il
linois and Iowa, 72 per cent; Nebraska, 61
per cent; Colorado, t per cent; Utah and
Nevada. 1 per cent; California, 12 per cent.
Th ninety-seventh meridian, cutting In
twain tha Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas.
Oklahoma and Texaa, divides the climatic
cut from the weat. Weat of that line II
the regions where the rainfall la per
petually Insufficient for crop growing. Yet
th weat does not regard that aa an evil.

Want to Know
Exposition.
Irrigated with clear mountain water. The
kmcluslnn Is that the binds of arid and
semi-arid regions are Inherently fertile and
that water is tho golden key that unlocks
their treasures to the use of man.
Arid land has a thirst for water that
reaches astonishing proportions. Often
when the Irrigation ditch Is first com
pleted and the water turned over the land
It is found that it takes as much as fl.OXVnoo
gallons of water to satisfy the burning
thirst of an acre of land. It has been shown
that the average cubic foot of earth will ab
sorb thirty-two pounds of water, and that
as much as fifty-eight tons of dew may
fall on a single acre of ground in one night.
Experience has demonstrated that the
amount of rainfall best stilted to the suc
cessful growing of a crop Is forty Inches
annually. In other words, to produce a
good crop 4,5?! tons of water must fall on
every acre of ground annually. Someone
baa mado a study of the use of water by
plants, and estimates th-it every ton of !
hay directly absorbs 5T0 tons of water from j
the time of the germination of the seed i
to the mowing of the hay. Another scien
tist undertook to atudy the use of water
by maple trees In their digestive" econ
omy. He counted 12. 12 leaves on a single
maple. Studying one tree carefully he found
that C49 trees on an acre of ground would
evaporate 3.875 gallons of water in twelve
hours. At this rate the acre of trees, In
the ninety-two days life of their leaves,
would send Into tha air nearly 8.000,000
pounds of moisture.
Not long sine a western railroad Is
sued one of the most striking maps ever
seen. One part of it shows the physical
features of the Promised Land of Canaan;
the other shows those of the Salt Lake
valley of Utah. If on the map of anaan
Salt Ike were substituted for the Dead
Sea, Ogden for Bethlehem, Salt Ltk City
for Jerusalem, Provo City for Tiberias,
and Utah Lake for the sea of Tiberiaa,
Canaan would become Salt Lake valley.
In that connection it is interesting to note
that the three ereat religions of the earth
beglln , arld or ,eml.,rld reelons; Judaism
sprang from the deserts of Sinai; Chrlstl-
anity from tho hills of Judea; Moham
med lam from the deserts of Arabia,
The densest population In tho world,
outside of cities. Is to be found in arid
and semi-arid regions made to blossom
by Irrigation. The Nile lands of Egypt
support a population of 1,200 to the square
mile. The densest rural population In the
United States east of the ninety-seventh
meridian Is to be found in Rhode Island,
with 27S persons to the square mile. In
some of the older Irrigated portions of
California one may find as many as 600
people t0 the ,,quare m,Ie' Practlcal'y "
of them engaged In horticulture through
Irrigation.
1 Irrigation is as old as history. It Is a
far cry from the old hand-power dumping
machine used along the Nile to the modern
twenty-inch centrifugal pump, one may
sometimes sea, and from the baby dams of
the ancients to the gigantic Assuan dam
In Africa or the Roosevelt dam in our own
western country. But wherever Irrigation
has been kept up, even after the passing of
thirty centuries, the soil ia aa fertile and
aa productive as of old.
The United States is playing the part
of n who helps others to help them
States la developed to Its maximum pro-
ductive power the country will support a
population equivalent to one-fourth the
Present population of the world. If the
history of th oldest Irrigated communities
of California becomes the history of the
entire region eventually to be Irrigated,
th great territory eat of the Misuisslppl
ill become a sort of aid show to the
mln circus weat ot that river. But then
th east may conclude to do some lrriga-
tlon of ltB own- Irrlgationiats assart that
ven "oia iana mignv d maue to pro

Indications are there is a much greater
local Interest in the National Corn expos!
tlon than there was last year and the
Corn show management Is preparing to
handle the local crowds better.
Many applications have been received

the parent of Emma Kruse, the white
girl left on the doorstep of a negress when
the baby was but an hour old. The white
girl, who waa brought up as her own

principal witness for the prosecution, hav
ing been Lewi' victim.
The man and woman to whom suspicion
has been dliected are not known person

In the case and It is difficult to Imagine
any reason why white people, well dressed

SET TIME LIMIT FOR .
ANSWER ON WAGE RAISE
December 1 Dnt When Locomotive
Firemen Expect to Hear from
HnllroadM.
,
December I, has bten set by the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen for an answer
to the demands of the nifan for Increased
wages and uniform working schedules on
the railroads running west of Chicago, and
involving all men running on trains out of
Omaha. Members of the union in Omaha
have taken no direct action In the mat
ter, leaving the caao to the executive com
mittee of the brotherhood In Chicago.
It Is expected that the railroads, forty
two In number, affected by the demands
for Increased wages, will name a general
committee of railway managers to mcsl
with the locomotive firemen to settle the
question.
One of the clauses la the formal petition
presented by the trainmen to the railroads
says that "the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen shall have the
right to establish tha seniority date for
all engineers promoted from the ranks of
firemen."
This clause la said to be causing rail
road managers more unrest than that re
questing higher wages. If the demand i
conoeded it Is feared it will Involve the
railroads in trouble with the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers.
In this connection, th Insurance ques
tion among the men also comes up. Most
of the engineers have risen to their sta
tion from the ranks of firemen and many
of them prefer to hold their membership
In the parent organization because the In
surance rates are more favorable to them
on account of the young men who art
continually entering the service.

BILL CANADA HAS NEVER
FAILED T0LAND HIS MAN
Old t'nlon Par" tic Chief's Record la
Mot Broken In Forty Tears
of Service.
Not a train robber Is now doing time
In the penlte.itiary or who may be for
tunately at large, but has a profound re
gard for William T. Canada, special agent
of tho Union Pacific, who has railroaded
more men to the penitentiary for train
robbery than any other man In the coun
try. They all know him. No man haa held
up a Union Pacific train In the last forty
years but has been caught sooner or
later.
Every one of the Omaha bandits knew
or had heurd of the veteran "Bill" Canada
and knew they were up against a hard
proposition when thty tackled the Union
Pacific.
When returned to the county Jail after
their case hed come to a end IIk five rob
bers were a little more garrulous than
usual. Even "William the Silent,"
(Matthews) unloosened himself enough to
talk. Some one remarked In reference to.
William T. Canada of the Union Pacific: '
"Bill" getting ton old to do much more
work. He may lose out yet on his boast
that 'No man who has ever held up a
Union Pacific train has escaped.' Why,
Hill is 'i year old."
"That's all right nbout BUI Canada."
said Matthews, "Hut let me tell you he's
good for twenty years yet and don't you
forget it."
While Matthews u being undressed to
go Into the Jail suit he remarked:
"It looks as If I'll not need this suit
now for a long time."
Woods, Torgenson, Grlgware and Golden
had but litfle to say. Grtgware seemed to
be completly broken, and took his convic
tion harder than any of the five.
Daly Impressed.
"How" solemn we should feel, children."
said the elderly stranger who was address
ing thu Sunday school, "in the presence of
the mysteries of creation! Think of thla
vusl globe on which you and I live, whirl
ing through space at the rate of 600,000,000
miles a year."
Impressive pause.
Then the stillness was broken by Tommy
Tucker:
