SULTAN'S FIRST APPEARANCE IN PUBLIC
I '
Bur jy !-. f i ?flfi
Perhaps the most astonishing recent change In Turkey Is that which Is
represented by the spectacle of the sultan Abdul Hamld taking a drive. Un-
til the threatened advance of two army corps upon Stamboul forced Abdul
Hamld to revive the constitution of 1876 the commander of the faithful never
had dared to show himself outside the precincts of Ylldlz kiosk except for
the Friday drive to the Selamllk In the Hamldleh mosque which Is practically
within the grounds of the palace. By thus showing himself freely to his peo-
ple Abdul Hamld has done a good stroke of business for himself because the
Turk Is a patient beast of burden absolutely loyal to his padlshah and only
asKing not to bo ridden to the death by corrupt pashas and palace favorites.
Hence the public appearances of the sultan have been the occasion of a series
of outbursts of perfectly sincere loyalty.

Samuel was brought to Los Angeles
by Mrs. Chester V. Drown wlfo of a

Washington. It is quite probablo
'that somo day not far distant deer
meat will become as common nnd as
cheap In our market as mutton.
Such is tho belief or D. E. Lantz of
tho United States biological survey
who In an cxhaustlvo report issued
by tho department or agriculture ills-
cusses tho economic possibilities ot
raising deer nnd elk from a purely
business proposition ot profit.
Mr. Lantz ovon suggests that legis-
lation bo enacted which will mako this
possible and In his report upon tho
matter ho tells how It is possiblo to
domesticate deer for tho market.
To tho average American tho report
of Mr. Lantz will como as a surprlso
for In nearly every section of the coun-
try deer aro protected as zealously as
Hie robin. Asldo from stating that tho
public would profit by being ablo to
buy tho nutritious meat Mr. Lantz
adds that 280000000 acres of land In
this country which at presont is
worthless could bo utilized ns deer
reservations.
According to the report tho chief
obstacle to profitable propagation of
nieer In this country Is tho restrictive
character of stato laws governing tho
Wiling salo nnd transportation of
game. Many stato legislatures havo
already modified tho gamo laws and
In this way as n result the deor and
lk industry hns been started in a few
states with considerable success.
Arkansas Minnesota Missouri and
North Carolina havo so modified their
game laws that deer can bo raised for
tho market under certain restrictions
llany other states only permit deer
to bo sold to owners of reservations.
Mr. Lantz states that safeguards
against tho destruction of wild deer In

Samuel took his first automobile ride
recently and Mrs. Drown smiled
thinking that he would certainly show
delight but tho little Chunchoo sav-
age took it as a matter of fact.
Even tho phonograph did not sur-

Tho Chunchoos aro regarded as ex-
ceptionally hostile and untamable;
They range throughout what Is called
the "unbroken country."
Drown's company has received a con
cession of 2000000 acres of rubber for
torn of licensing private parks nnd of
tagging deer or carcasses sold or
shipped so that they might bo easily
Identified.
Tho report states that tho best spe-
cies of deer to raise for tho markets
Is tho Virginia deer for it can bo
raised under any condition of food
and climate.
Tho department of agriculture gives
as its reason for advocating tho do-
mestication of deer for tho markets
tho growing scarcity of gamo mam-
mals in this country and tho threat-
ened extinction of somo of them over
various sections makes tho preserva-
tion and development ot tho deer In-
dustry necessary.
That tho Industry Is well under way
in several states is best Illustrated by
reports received by the department ot
agrlculturo from owners of reserva-
tions. Ono of great Interest Is tho

Sir James told the scientists that

but Drown was determined to try to

Every Instinct for hundreds of years
past inherited by Samuel tho son of
cannibals Is in tho direction of tho

tho illnicultles of his task but was not

In which ho made rapid progress.
Of English ho still knows little. Ho
says fluently "Good morning" "Good

tasting a delicious soup remnrked po-
litely that it waB "very good chupee."
Tho word "cluipeo" is tribal lingo for a
dish that corresponds to American
soup nnd tho little savago was quick:
to associate tho terms.
Samuel spends much time amusing
himself with other children is a gen
eral favorite and is making fast
friends. His temper Is sunny his dis-
position even. Ho is quite a mimic
and recently was on tho lawn Indulg-
ing in all sorts of boyish pranks such
as swelling out his chest Imitating a
policeman taking a bit of palm leaf
and pretending to shave his face roll-
ing on a blanket and cutting didoes

Ho also Is learning rapidly lessons
In politeness. Ho gets up briskly In

when Samuel can speak English ho
will be placed In tho public schools.
He shown exceeding fondness for fruit
and meat. As might bo guessed ho is
a pronounced meat eater and it also
seems that he never can get enough
fruit. His own people live largely on
theso two articles.
How Samuel will develop remains to
lie seen. Already he shows unusual

Tho Klamath basin In California

nito. Historically connected with tho
Modoo wnrfnro nnd massacre thin
strangely Interesting region ot "burnt

Demote from railroads and centers
ot population surrounded by moun-
tains clad In ptlmovul forests of plno
nnd fir tho bountiful vnlleys of this
broad basin lomaiued almoHt un
touched by plow. The stockman
whoso Hocks and herds fattened on
tho rich grosses which covered the
slopes and grow rank along tho shores
of tho nrmorous lakes and marshes
was an Indifferent farmer and did hut
llttlo to develop thu natural resources
of tho country.
True hero nnd there were hamlets
straggling and scntterod communities
and faintly traced In blue In n broad
landscape of dusty cagebrusli wero a
fow tiny lines of Irrigation ditches
that u.cliclcd small stretches of vivid
green tho ulfulfn fields llttlo Islands
of emerald resting In a sen ot brown
that threatened to submerge them.
Such was my Impression when I first
looked over tho Klamath plateau tho
work of man seemed to havo been so
Ineffective in tho subjugation of na-
ture. Tho federal engineers backed by u
generous government enmo to this vir-
gin field n few years ago attracted by
tho almost limitless possibilities which
this region possesses nnd which wero
so apparent. Tholr report was so favor-
able that plans for a most unusual
nnd unique Irrigation work wero ap-
proved May 17 1905 and work begun
In tho spring of 1906.
From tho Inception of notual work
of construction tho Klamath basin be-
gan to be talked about. Hottlers com-
menced to flock In nnd the upbuilding
of tho commonwealth has piogressed
with a rapidity almost unbcllovnblo
except to thoao who havo actually
witnessed It. The millions which tho
government hns been expending In stu-
pendous canals and tunnels havo
brought In nn army of laborers nnd
thousands of horses tho feeding of
which has furnished a markot for nil
the products of tho farms such as wan
never beforo known. Tho hamlets
have become towns tho townH aro
growing Into cities which are assum-
ing metropolitan airs. Electric roads
aro projected and 'building n Btcam
railway Is ubout to enter tho basin
power plnnts aro being erected sugar
beet factoilcs aro suggested and
sugar beet factories aro suggested
and everywhere thcro Is an at
mosphere of hustle and bustle that bo-
tokens an awakening to tho potential
Krentness of a rogton which has long
been dormant. Dest of all tho sago
brush Is disappearing and tho settler's
modest homo marks tho beginning ot
a new square of green and tho reced-
ing ot tho sea ot brown.
The Klnmath ptoject stands unlquo
among tho 2G lrrlgntlon works of tho
reclamation service. It Involves fea-
tures ot Irrigation drainage and sto-
rage In unusual combination. Desert
and swamp Ilo close together ono

ure tho other of equal uselessuess
because of an excess of water.
In tho basin aro about 400000 acics
of land of which 187000 acres nro In-
cluded In this system. Some of tho
topographic feutures mo singularly
interesting nnd aro easily understood
from a study of the mup. Elevated CO
feet above the muln valley Is Upper
Klamath lake tho outlet ot which Is
Link river which Hows through Lako
Ewaunn at Klamath falls into Klamath
river. Uppor Klamath lako is tho
principal sourco ot supply to tho lower
part of tho projoct. Dy means of a

lako aro drawn Into a largo canal and
carried southward into tho valley.

winds Its tortuous wuy for GO miles
finally emptying Into Tulo lake of

Tulo lako Is only six miles from tho

to creato a reservoir In Clear lako by
means of a dam nnd to utilize the
stored water as wall as tho entiro flow
of Lost rlvor to irrigate Boverul vory

ply will dry up. Tho lako will bo Ir
