WHY TRAINS ARE UMPKrTl 1,1111111,11 mim 1U ULUUI" UU(JI 'IPiV vvntuMu mm m m mm Domestic Infelicity the lause of Many Accidents KLItEIlT liriiltAKI) SAYS THE HAPPY MAX IS THE SAKE MAX. ISX'T HE RICJHT7 Elbert Hubbard has this to say about "The Happy Man Is the Safe Man" in the New York American: On the platform at Ashtabula the other day, as we were waiting, a di vision superintendent in the employ of the Lake Shore asked me: "Do you know the causo of most of the railway accidents?" "Why. disobedience of orders," I answered. "No, It Is domestic infelicity. You say 'disobedience of orders.,' and this is partly right, but the cause lies deeper. Why should a railway em ploye disobey orders? Why should an engineer run past the station where he Is ordered to stop? It Is Ills own life he endangers most. Why should a train dispatcher send out two trains facing each other at the same time on one track? Or why does a train tender throw a switch in front qf a fast express? "People call these things acci dents, but that Is not the word; they nre the result of mental conditions. And it Is for the general manager to be on the lookout for these condi tions, and a very good railroad man ager now is. Do you remember when two passenger trains met, head on, out in Indiana last year? The engineer of one of these trains had In his pocket an order to take the I sidetrack at a certain station. He ran by that station at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and in five minu tes there was a crash that snuffed out fifty-four lives and two hundred thousand dollars' worth of property. "I know the engineer. Let us call . him Hank Bristol, for that wasn't his name. He was married to a! smashing, dashing, beautiful creat-j ure, and they boarded at a hotel; I had no children. I boarded there, too, and wo all made eyes at Hank's I handsome wife. She used to play! the piano and sing a little, and re-j cite. The love of one plain, honest man was not enough for her. She , craved the admiration of the clever. "She wasn't a bad woman just an Idle one who spent every spare cent i Hank made on finery and herself, to! bo admired. Hank was proud of her, ; too. One evening he kissed the dear i woman good-bye and started out to make a night run. He went out to the round house and at the last mo ment the or Man decided to call' Hank back and let him take out a' special carrying the president and directors of the road In the morning. "Hank was tickled It was a great compliment to him. He went homo ! to tell his wlfu; he used to tell her' everything. But when he got home sho wasn't there she had gone to the theatre with a boot and shoe ' drummer from Chicago. i '"Hank went away and walked the streets till morning. His wife never knew, and 1 believe she doesn't yet. He walked the streets all night and ran out the special In the morning. But after that he was never the same. He used to confide In me he just had to tell some one to keep his heart from bursting with suppressed grief. Ho grew absent-minded, lost llesh, appetite was gone, was nerv ous the doctor said he should quit coffee and cut out half the tobacco. "Hank didn't work on our road, or I'd never have let him touch a throt tle; no, not even If he had been my brother. I knew It would come. He was found under his engine, the or der that he had disobeyed in his pocket, and a picture in his watch of the woman who had caused the disaster. No, it probably has never dawned upon tills woman that she caused the wreck. She wore deep mourning and the cutest black bon net with a white ruche. She was the most fetching widow you ever saw and she knew It without being told. "Yes, that Is what I said marital infelicity is responsible for the rail road wrecks, and causes most of the others, too. The only safe man Is the one whose heart Is at rest who has a home and a wife who stays! there and minds her business, looks after the babies, has no secrets and does not make eyes at other men that's tho kind. I know overy man who works for me. and I know a disturbed, distressed and jealous man a train length away. My heart bleeds for 'em, but I servo the pub lic, and none such can run an engine for me."

Y.f was removed to his home In Hallstead last Friday. mmiv u.iiilu mum inimunu HIII DMA $70,000,000 Already Spent In Irrigation Projects THROUGH, tho work of the United States reclamation service a con siderable proportion of the west ern desert area, extending from Arizona and lower California north ward into tho state of Washington, has been transformed, and the lands, formerly worthless as a national asset, now yield crops worth each year 250, 000,000. Thirteen million ncrcs in those deserts have been planted to grains, fruits and other crops. The reclaimed areas, dotted with thousands of comfortable homes, present undenia ble proof that the possibilities for homeraaklng and crop growing are just beginning to be realized by the thou sands of people for whom the govern ment undertook nnd is carrying for ward tho reclamation work. In this work of development the gov ernment already has employed $70, 000,000. An additional $1S,000,000 Is to be Invested In the next four year.s--$1,000,000 each month. Of this latter amount a $20,000,000 bond issue was authorized recently by tho government, and the additional $23,000,000 will be derived from the income from the sale of public lands nnd from the projects already established, of which there nre more than thirty, either complete or In course of construction. The fact that this huge expenditure is to be made by the government is sufficient to suggest the transformation that is taking place In the American Sahara, with Its millions of acres of lands which formerly comprised only unlim ited stretches of drifting sand and al kali flats unrelieved by any vegetation other than the sagebrush, for, while the government is carrying forward its work there will be expended by private capital developers operating in the same field probably ten millions to tho government's one. It was the pioneer work of the rec lamation service which first served to create n more general Interest In tho homcmnking possibilities of the west, and the impetus this interest has been given Is most forcibly reflected by the appearance In many of the larger cities during tho last few years of land and farm produce expositions on a big scnle. Until three years ago tho only exposition of this nature ever known was tho state or county fair. In addition a remarkable increase of Interest in the work of agricultural colleges and experiment furms has manifested itself. Until within pos sibly tho last eight or ten years the majority of farmers revealed an un mistakable prejudice ngainst those in stitutions. Land and Produce Expositions. Probably from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 persons will visit land and produce ex positions in Chicago, New York. Pitts burg, St. Louis, Kansas City and other poluts this year. The interest in such expositions in Chicago always has been such that It has been difficult to provide a show .place big enough to accommodate the crowds. What the interest will be In the New York ex position this year, the first ono of the kind ever given here, it would be diffi cult to foretell. When the problem of creating homes for tho people in the western deserts first wns presented to congress most of the national lawmak ers were firm In the conviction that that portion of the nation wus hope less of utilization for any such pur pose. They ridiculed the Idea that any considerable number of persons would ever court starvation in such a barren laud, nnd It rcqnlred all the logic of such untlonaPleiiders and thinkers as Theodore Roosevelt, J. M. Carey, gov ernor of Wyoming, and Senator New lauds of Nevada to convince congrew that tho government could make the desert arable awl llvnble. President Roosevelt signed tho recla mation act on June 17, 1002. It was largely, If not wholly, through tho ef forts of the national Irrigation con gress that the net finally became a law. This congress, nn educational Institution which for twenty years has lubored, through earnest men In both public and prlvnto life, for n greater development of tho agricul tural resources of the country, has been given the credit not alono for the enactment of the reclamation act. but for many of the good results that have been possible because of It. The con gress has in addition Influenced the national congress and stato legisla tures from time to time to enact such further legislation as would prove ben eficial to the government In Its recla mation work nnd has helped largely to remove obstacles to progress In tho form of nrbltrary stato statutes which were made laws before the reclama tion act was created. Nineteenth Annual Gathering. During its existence the congress has held nn annual session at which state governors nnd other public men of note gathered for a session of ono week, thus gaining year by year raoro and1 more Interest in tho development pos sibilities of the nntion. This year the congress Is to have its nineteenth nn nual gathering In Chicago, from Dec. C to 0. The organization met there once before in 1000. At tho Chicago meeting, to illustrate the growth of in terest the congress has created and the $48,000,000 More to 5 I feZ Be Invested In Next sS" I r our i ears J important place it occupies as a na tional body, President Taft, Director Newell of tho reclamation service, many of the president's cabinet officers and others of national importance will appear on the speakers' platform. Tho Chicago congress will be tho first one to have tho president as its guest. Work of the organization for the year is to be directed by 100 men of Chicago, nnd this list, which com prises the board of control for the year, contains the names of many men who represent tho highest rank In Illi nois civic, professional, commercial and railway attainment. The sessions probably will be held in the Auditori um. Orchestral hall and other down town meeting places, it being neces sary to provide several auditoriums for tho Chlcngo meeting. Tho congress will attract 200,000 or more visitors, as tho sessions nre to be held during the week of the United Stntet? Land and Irrigation exposition, during tho Inter national Live Stock exposition and while the Chicago grand opera season Is at its height. The United States reclamation act made it possible for the department of the interior to set aside the receipts from tho sale of public lands In certain western states and territories as a fund for tho reclamation of arid lands. The original fund employed for this work. It was shown, was to become n revolv ing one, permitting of furtlwr expan sion year by year as the work contin ued, with tho returns from tho invest ment such that the original fund would bo in tho treasury ready for further service after the first ten years of set tlement. If not before. By the terms of the act the lands re claimed by the government can be ac quired only by actual settlers after residence and cultivation for a period of Ave years and on payment In not more than ten annual installments without interest of their share In the cost of creating the irrlgatlou system. This water cost amounts in a major ity of tho projects to $30 per acre. At that cost, then, tho settler is required to pay $3 on each ucre per year for ten years. That is the return the govern ment asks Just what it costs to pro vide the lands, or the water, rather, which makes the lands susceptible of farming. Tho farm unit is 40, 80 or 100 acres, although in few, If any. of the projects can 1C0 acres still be homcsteaded. There are lands open to entry now in five of the projects. As additional funds are put into the work additional units of 10,000 acres or more will bo thrown open to entry from time to time in the projects that nre now In complete, and when all the projects hre full additional ones will bo started. Some Available Lands Left. The projects with farms now availa ble Include the Huntley, in Montana, with 30,000 acres, for which lands the settler must pay $-1 per aore to the In dians at the time he makee his filing; the Sun River, in Montana, with 270, 000 acres, and in which tho settler makes an Initial payment of $3.50 per acre; the Umatilla, in Oregon, with 20, 440 acres, the lands being in privato ownership and purchasable from set tlers having an xcess of ICO acres; tho Bello Fourche, in South Dakota, with 100,000 acres, also privately own ed lands, purchasable at from $20 to $80 per acre, and the Shoshone, in Wy oming, with 132,000 acres, all subject to homestead entry, this project hav ing n general elevation of 4,500 feet In theso projects the charge for water right which becomes perpetual when the tenth annual payment is made, is $30 per acre, excepting in the Umatil la and the Shoshone, in which It Is $00 nnd $40 respectively. While tho reclamation of the land is, of course, tho more essential feature of tho government's work, tho engi neering accomplishments associated with some of tho projects are so re markable that thoy assume first im portnnco In tho general scheme of the project as a whole. On one of the projects, tho Shoshone, the highest dam in the world has been construct ed. Beside this dam tho tallest sky scraper in Chicago would bo found wanting In height. Flaced In n nar row gulch, the structure rises 328 feet above tho bed of tho river, and in tho construction of tho plug 75,000 cubic yards of concrete were employed. Tho water thus Impounded is again divert ed sixteen miles below tho dam into canals which supply the irrigable lands In the Shoshono project. Hun dreds of homesteaders are here profit ing from water which formerly went to waste. Of all the sagebrush states of the west Nevada held for years without doubt the first rank. And yet this stnte, tho government has found, con tains some of the best ngrlcultuca! land in tho west. World's Wool Market. Sydney, Australia, Is becoming tho wool market of tho world. The sales of tho last wool season wpro 818,330 bales (up from 509,000 two years be fore), and this meant about $55,000,000 In coin of the realm. There aro near ly 50,000,000 sheep in Now South Wales.
