The practice of the federal prohibition authorities In New York city Of closing for any and all 'purposes the establishments that violate the law will be carried out here within a few days, It was learned !n the district attorney's office. ' This means that most rigid "padlock" injunctions will be enforced to make Washington dry. Heretofore the padlock Injunctions have served to prevent only the sale of liquor in this or that establishment and did not close a cafe or saloon altogether, as has been done In New York. Hereafter, It was stated,, the Injunctions will be obtained in the District Supreme court for the purpose of actually sealing up and locking the cafe, saloon or hotel that persists In serving liquor. This means that a place so padlocked cafinot be used for any purpose whatsoever for one year. Washington landlords will be the losers and so will the person accused of selling liquor, as an Injunction closing up a place altogether will virtually mean that the offender will have to go out of business. ; Into Delve Work and Wallace, Persona!

The present year Is the first of what appears to be greater activities and changed methods. By JOHN In tfois reclamation of arid land, say the experts, considerably more than $100,000,000 have been expended. A very considerable sum has been repaid. The works erected are many of them of .monumental character. In the main the settlers under these projects have been prosperous and successful, but a series f low prices and high freight rates have created a condition under which many of the settlers find It temporarily impossible to meet their payments. With a view of remedying this condition an act extending the time of certain payments under carefully guarded conditions was enacted. It Is realized by all that the time has now arrived when there should be a general study of conditions on the reclamation projects and .a readjustment of payments In the light of present conditions in a manner to enable the industrious and settler to meet his obligations at all times and to place these enterprises bn a basis of permment prosperity. ' According to the experts we have long needed a federal law providing for the organization of litigation districts (n projects under the national reclamation law, in order to make possible for the federal authorities to deal with the settlers and water users collectively Instead of individually. This is now made possible by the act of May 15, 1922. This act also provides for the conditions under which farm loans can be made on lands on reclamation projects, thus meeting a long-fewant on the part of settlers on such projects. Dr. Hubert Work Is now secretary of the interior. He Is a Colorado man and has had personal experience with irrigation. In a recent address delivered by Secretary Work at the Agricultural deptment motion-pictur- e show, he set forth the neetCof d the Interior. In one place he said this : operation between the Department of Agriculture The Interior department and the Department of Agriculture are units of a great government, not miniature governments in themselves, and therefore both departments are obligated to contribute through mutual to the ful administration of the government as a whole. The lost motion and time expenditure incident to duplication or overlapping does not make for Intensive organization, the lack of which Is a weakness of the government service. One department should not be dependent on another for an Incidental service because not prepared to do it alone. That service should be the responsibility of the department best equipped to render it. In another place he said this : Farmers must compete Id the markets precisely ss other Industries do, and the question of transportation is a fundamental factor in the marketing of farm products. These are questions the two departments must study together, for they have to do with the food supply not of this year and our own people alone but for many years In the future and for other nations as well. There is no longer any frontier In the United States. We nre all one people, having a common Interest and obligation to the government, and I shall ask the secretary of agriculture .o lend the good offices of his most scientific, practical, and effective department to appraise soil fertility and markets In advance of our reclamation commitments and to aid our settlers In profitable farming. He concluded thus: "I have not had opportunity to consult with the secretary of agriculture on these lines I have been discussing with you. I am new to my department while ha has been In the far West for several year-to-ye- A CAimozr, D. weeks, where. Incidentally, he has missions to perform for my department, but we are long-tim- e personal friends ; I know the trend of his mind and feel assured that we will not be far apart In our conclusions bearing on the important services our g respective departments should render to the government This will be good news for many who would benefit by since these two departments have been for a long time at feud over several questions such, for example, as the proposed transfer of the control of the national forests to the Interior department ; the efforts of the Agricultural department to get control of the national parks, and the proposed turning over of Alaska to the Interior departments administrahome-makin- 'll, tion. y At any rate, Secretary Work has begun bis activities by appointing Miles Cannon, former commissioner of agriculture of Idaho, to the position of field reclamation commissioner, headquarters to be established later in one of the reclamation states. In his letter to Director A. P. Davis of the g lt co-an- , reclamation service and to managers of the several reclamation projects Dr. Work says In part: Mr. Cannon Is the direct representative of the secretary of the Interior In a work which I have undertaken for the Improvement of government reclamation projects along business and agricultural lines. His work Is not to conflict with or duplicate the engineering work now being carried on by existing reclamation forces, nor with tie work of other bureaus or departments, but Is to be, so far as same touches your work oq,that of In producing beneficial reothers. In sults. vari"Briefly, it Is the purpose to ous agricultural activities, aid the farmers In raising better and more diversified crops, in applying modem methods In handling, marketing, and realizing upon cropsf produced, to effect economies wherever possible, and to In every wTay Improve not only the condition of the Water users on the projects but the administration of the projects by . this department. Cannon, Director Incidentally, Commissioner pavls and Special Assistant Secretary D. W. Davis are at this writing making a visit of Inspection to the principal reclamation projects. There are 30 reclamation projects in various states. The total investment of the United States Is approximately $172,000,000; the reimbursements and credits approximately $46,000,000. The net investment Is therefore about $125,000,(XX)! Senator Ashurst of Arizona, . In a recent senate debate, gave these general figures : Since federal Irrigation began, 3,000,000 acres of theretofore practically worthless desert land have been made productive by government Irrigation. The value of the crops produced thereoq now amounts to $90,000,000 annually. The increase In value of the irrigated acreage amounts to and since the government began the de--1 livery of irrigation water the crops produced on the reclaimed lands today aggregate $400,000,000 In value. Nor does this sum of $400,000,000 Include the value or expansion of production of live stock or stock products; In other words, the flg-- ures ($400,000,000) as to the aggregate crop value are limited to vegetable, fruit, and grain values at the farm, for which government reclamation furnishes the sole supply of water. All the moneys disbursed by the government to the various Irrigation projects will ultimately be repaid. At the outset let it be remembered that the full Importance of national Irrigation cannot be measured in dollars, for It has an intangible value not to be estimated in tonnage tables nor trans $600,-000,00- 0 . cross-sectio- cross-sectio- - pertain Blind well-know- Pig cafe, It was n I o pastated, which cater to trons, are under suspicion of selling liquor concealed in bread, coffee and teapots, napkins, candlesticks and catsup bottles to say nothing of mustard ; V jars..:',' It appears that the law had one eye closed during Shrine wee ;, but now both eyes are opened, and the government Is preparing pot only to serve writs of the most drastic of Injunctions, but will proceed immediately against second offenders through the medium of grand jury indictments.

The second ring encircling the first grows In the following year, and so on. This process has been kept up for more than 3,000 years In some of the giant redwoods of California.

Thbre Is a difference In the cell growths of the fall which makes a dark color In the ring, so that eachj years growth Is clearly written (ml n of the tree. the The application of the Study of annual tree rings to history and archeology lies in the fact that ancient beams, rafters end furniture will all show the varying tree ring patterns of the trees from which they were cut.
