Washington's Sewerage System Pronounced Best.
WASHINGTON'S sewerage system
has been pronounced the Oneat
lu the world by a party, including
aome of the foremost sanitary en
gineer.. Tbl. party, which Included
Dr. John Watson, chief sanitary en
gineer of Birmingham, England, and
formerly chief sanitary engineer of
Toronto; Dr. George W. Fuller of
New York, author of the atandard
work on aewerage .ys terns; Dr.
Soper, president of the Metropolitan
Drainage commission of New York
City, and Jamea C. Webster, chief
sanitary engineer of Philadelphia,
were escorted over the system by Su
perintendent Asa E. Phillips just at
the close of the Congress of Hygiene
and Demography. It waa the unani
mous opinion of this party that no
city had a better system except the
German municipalities, which were
considered to be a model in thia re
gard. ' Washington la underlaid by
600 miles of subterranean rivers, an
average of nearly nine mtlea of river
to every square mile of land. These
are really underground rlvera, be
cause they take off the flowage from a
half dozen or ao streams which used
to drain through what la now the
central portion of the city. In addi
tion, they handle all the drainage
from Washington houses and all the
Immense amount of rain that fall, an
nually In the District The system
waa started in 1810, when an Initial
appropriation of $120 waa granted for
that purpose. The present sewerage
system haa ao far cost $11,000,000
and the annual expenditure for sew
erage run. about $350,000, and the
annual. Increase In mileage la about
25 miles. To get rid of moBqulto
breeding, all of the catch basins, of
which there are about 5,000, are
thoroughly flushed biweekly, and then
dosed with mosquito oil during the
season. It la estimated that the av
erage coat for thia treatment la about
six cent, a basin. In the hot dry sea
son these basins, uncared for in other
cities, hold water and offer breeding
placea for bugs, mosquitoes and other
lnaacta. Washington can well feel
pnwd of the splendid reputation for
her aewerage system given by these
eminent scientists.
Uncle Sam Makes It Much Easier to Secure a Farm
ENEROUS Uncle Sam who for over
homesteads In the west through his
general land office here, haa decided
that In order to make these lands
more attractive to the prospective set
tlers he must make aome concessions
which will tender them easier to ac
quire. As a result of the constant
granting of homestead tracts, ranging
from 40 to 320 acres, since the enact
ment of the homestead act of 1868,
during which time the government haa
given away gratia more than 123,540,-
355 acres In final homestead entries,
the land office haa found It had on lta
hands lands less suitable for cultiva
tion and farming purposes than In for
mer years, and consequently fewer ap
plications for homesteads.
According to the latest report of the
land office there atlll remain to be dis
posed of in homestead, timber, coal.
mineral and atone lands 695,401.259
acres, situated In what are commonly
known aa public land states. About
one-quarter of these lands have been
surveyed.
In order, then, to Induce entries on
the remaining lands, congreaa recently
passed a law providing that certain
restrictions on these entries In the
way of cultivation, residence, etc, be
moderated so that settlers would find
It less difficult to live up to the speci
fications set forth in homestead lawa.
One of the most attractive featurea of
the new law la tba three-year resi
dence clause. Thli isrovides tha In
order to entitle a person to a patent
upon a homestead It must be shown
that be haa resided on the farm for
three years. Honorably discharged
soldiers and sailor, are entitled to
claim credit for the period of aervlce,
after they have resided upon. Im

period of at leaat one year.

day. WMtb a rupture of the friend
ship between -the United Statea and
Great Britain and he sees no Indi
cation of unpleasantnes. other pow
er, might seek to change the balance
of power, the commissioner said.
Sir George and Lady Reld have
Just finished a tour of the United
Statea that extended over several
weeks. Of course,, he la duly im
pressed with the remarkable growth
of American Industries and American
fortunea. But, do you know, Sir
George actually thought at one time
that the bally American foundation
warn't aolid. He aaya so himself.
Listen:
"To one who lives aa far from
the United Statea as I do your tre
mendous etrldea and development appear ao rapid that It la hard to believe
they are built on a solid foundation. One feels that the bubble must buret
some day. But my visit has convinced me that you have bullded aolldly.
and that impression of which I spoke has been entirely dissipated."
Sir George also gave an Interesting original expression of opinion about
the little unpleasantnesa between the American colonlea and England In 1776.
"I wish to emphasize." he declared, "that there never waa a war between
the people of Great Britain and the people of the United States. At the
time of the war with the American colonlea It waa not the people of England
who brought about th atrlfe. The people had really no voice In the matter.
The king waa Influencad by bad advisers, and the people really bad no ear
In the matter."
