made in three important localities, one
of these being In Harney county near
the central part of the state, another
on Malheur river on the east and the
third on I'matilla river near the north-
ern boundary; each of these projects
has certain advantages and di flic allies
—a very careful examination must be
made before the feasibility and rela-
tive merits of each can be known
in South Dakota the opportunities
for reclamation are apparently around
the Black Hills. A number of smnll
t streams issue from this area, and stor-
age of flood waters is believed to be
j practicable. The principal opportuni-
ty for reclamation thus far discovered
in that near Belle Fourche; other Ir-
rigable lands, mainly ln private own-
ership, however, are noted east of
Rapid City.
In Utah the peop'e. through a state
commlsion have asked that first atten-
tion be given to Utah lake; this body
of water receives the drainage from a
considerable part of the mountain area
of the central part of the state, and
wastes by evaporation thi greater
part of this water. The problem Is
largely the feasibility of preventing
by one means or another this enor-
mous waste, which has been estimated
fo be equivalent to 1,000 cubic feet per
second during the irrigating season.
Another project under examination Is
that of Bear I^ake, which lies partly in
Idaho and partly in Utah.
In Washington tho great body of Ir-
rigable land is in lhe central part of
the state, within what Is known as
the great bend of the Colubia. This
land is below the level of Spokane riv-
ed at the foot of Spokane Falls, and
may be reached by water from this or
other sources, if the cost Is not prohi-
bitory. The scheme Is one of gigantic
proportions and Its feasibility cannot
be definitely determined without care-
ful surveys. Similar bodies of land
north of tho Columbia and near Okan-
nogan can be reclaimed probably at
leas cost.
Wyoming contains mountain passes
from which come several of the larger
rivers of the arid region. The altitude
is high but there are a number of
opportunities for reclaiming desert
land. The most notable of these is in
the vicinity of Cody, In the Big Horn
basin Surveys have been conducted
on this area, and also to ascertain the
poalbllity of storing water ln lake
Dt Smet on the east side of the Big
Horn Mountains. On North Platte riv-
er, also, extensive surveys aro being
made to ascertain the poalbllity of the
storage of the flood waters for use ln
eastern Wyoming and western Ne-
braska.
Each of the projects above mention-
ed involve large works and conttruct-
i ion*more or less involved ln character.
As hydraulio works are among tho
most difficult to build and aa all ques-
i Hons ol safety and stability must be
| settled with great care, It is necesary
j to carry on all examinations with un-
usual thoroughnean. instructions aro
given to ascertain all of the facts and

Dead 6«a' Only Boat.
London Qraphia.
Since the earthquake In Palestine
last April some one circulated the story
I thtt the mouth of the River Jordan had.
, been so affectM by the shock that th
level of the river had been altered to
j such mii extent that at the place wher#
j tha historic river goes into the Dead
nea there was now a waterfall of con-
siderable depth and strength. This Is
altogether false, and no change what-
ever has taken plaoe at or near th*
mouth of the Jordan. The writer has
Just spent some days there and made It
Ills special bualness to investigate this
matter. Much has also appeared from
time to time In the papers and period-
icals about steamboats navigating the
Dead sea. This, too, is a fabrication.
The only boat on the Dead sea is &
small saihug boat about twenty feet
long. This vessel makes trips, ns the
wind allows, from the north end of tho
sea to the bay on the eastern side of
the tongue that divides the water near
the middle. Here at this terminus
some Jews are located. Tho whole con-
cern Is, in fact, ln the hands of the
Jews, who at a low rate, buy wheat and
barley from the Arabs, to be delivered
on th«? seashore. From there it Is
shipped to the Jericho side and carried
oft donkeys to Jerusalem, where It finds
u ready sale at a good price. When
adverse winds blow the little craft 1s
in danger of being swamped, for the so-
called Dead sea becomes a living mass
of waves. The writer recently spent
four nights such as never will be for-
gotten on these waters, and the smart-
ness of the old man at the helm und
his boy with the sails saved us from
being wrecked again and again. A
charge of one mejedle (three shillings
and four pence) a trip Is made for each
passenger, and for such a unique voy-
age it Is not exorbitant. There Is some
talk about a smnll steam tug being put
on the sea. but the authorities are loth
to grant permission. It will be a great
boon when, If ever, it does arrive, us It
will bring the east and west sides of
Jordan nearer to one another for com-
munication and trading purposes.

Sliver Dollar is a Puzzle.
Chicago Chronicle.
Boston, Muss.—Richardson, Hill &
Co., bankerv, submitted to the sub-
trenaury experts a silver dollar that
puzzles them. Apparently It is#a l-vu-
uine issue of the United Ktaw s iu.m,
but no one nt the sub-treasury, ever
saw a coin like it.
It is the site and weight of the stan-
dard sllveer dollar, und the obverse
side, with the head of Liberty, is simi-
lar to tho present coin. The reverse,
however,. Is unique. Around the up-
of the circles Is "United Btatees of
America." with "Ded Est Gloria" in
barely decipherable letters below In
the lower arc of the circle is the des-
ignation "One* Dollar," with the date
1879. The central design of the re-
verse !■ what makes the dollar un-
like any ln circulation. There is a
small circle in the centeer, with these
figures "896.8 H, 4.2 ti, 100 25
grams." It probably is oneof a series
of silvere dollars which had been
minted, but had not been put in cir-
culation.
Nort'h Dakota presents few problems
of national importance. The principal
water supply of the state Is In Mis-
souri river, tho flow of which is so
gentle that canals cannot be taken
from the stream; the tributaries in
thlg state are*small or intermittent, or
lye bordered by valleys so narrow that
any considerable development of irri-
gation does not seem practicable.
Pumping may be resortad to. and for
this purpose lignite may be obtained;
the efficiency of this method of irri-
gation is being investigated.
Oklahoma is ln many respects simi-
lar to North Dakota in that large recla-
mation projects are Impracticable or
unnecesary. The greater part of the
territory east of the 100th meridian
and Irrigation Is not regarded by set-
ters as playing an important part in
the agricultural development of the
area. Beaver county, extending from
the 100th meridian to the 103rd, is to
a large extent arid, and the only means
of irrigation is diversion and storage of
flood waters, and la of doubtful practi-
cability on any considerable scale.
