' 827 Square M:le.
. The total mount of land to be
reclaimed will be 8?7 square nvles,
which will constitute
province of Holland, caoab'e of
Sflroorf'nfr a population of 300000,
aii'i whcre:n. several cites of ancient
trading fame are expected to be re
itofed to commercial importance.
The engineering work , is now
wctl unrr way. . ; t
' ., : Onw'es rno, at the beginning
of the -Christian era. when the Ko-
raa"9 had their settlements in Hoi
land, unuch of the space now occu-
nied bv the Zuvder zee was lana
rind the south part of the present
sea was a lake called fievo. JNortn
west tempests swept the North Sea,
washing away the tract of dry land
between the sea and the lake. One
large, shallow body of water the
Zuyder" Zee was formed.
; Many Towns Decayed.
1 The: towns situated o'rt its banks
throve as the merchantmen came
into tlieir ports. But, as ships be
came larger and of deeper draft,
traffic' was diverted to deeper seas,
leaving, the once famous towns on
the Zuydcr's shores mere fishing
villages, which they are now, while
Amsterdam's commerce came to it
through a canal leading direct to
the North sea.
1 Dr. A. A. Beekman of The Hague,
who has devoted nearly all his life
to thw ideal of reclaiming the Zuy
der Zee,. explained the plans to The
Associated Press correspondent.'
"The first thing to do." sa:d Dr.
Beekman, "is to construct a gigan
tic dike to keep out the North sea.
This will be 30 miles long, stretching
from Wieringen to the Frisian
. coastj ; where the water ranges in
depth from 33 to 11 feet. It will be
everywhere 10 to 17 feet above the
sea level. There will be a double
track "railway on top of the dike.
Its construction will take 9 years,
and its cost, by prewar estimates,
will be more than $20.000.000.

Corn Prices During Week
Made Material Advances
Chicago, Jan. 24. Steep climbing of
prices in the corn market has taken place
this week chiefly as a result of rounh
weather and the scarcity of terminal sup
plies. Compared with a week ago, com
quotations this morning were 17-8 cents
to 7 cents net higher, oats varying from
unchangad figures to rent advance and
provisions at 65 cents decline to a rise
of 20 cents. '
January delivery tn particular showed
the strain of the difficult situation brought
about In tha corn market by reason of
storms and low temperatures adding ta
crop movement delay- In this connec
tion gossip was current that so much
railway equipment was out of repair that
any big increase of corn arrivals soon at
primary centers was virtually lmposlbl.
Meanwhile announcement of business deal
ings with Russia aroused much Interest
among grain traders, but opinions on the
subject were so conflicting that tho news
failed to exercise any serious Influence on
prices here. , British exchange at the
