tioned thereat- The board submitted Its
final report to the Secretary of War, who
has approved the recommendations sub
mitted by it- The amounts given are
those estimated to complete the construc
tion of various works, and while the al
lotments are made from the current ap
propriations, it is not expected that the

Haines Mission. .Alaska, 2G0.000.

The board also took Into consideratior.
the construction of necessary buildings
at many of the Coast artillery posts on
the Atlantic seaboard, on the Gulf and
at the mouth of the Columbia River,
and at some of the inland posts for cav
alry and artillery, where additional build
ings are needed to accommodate the in
creased garrisons. It has been decided
to proceed at once with the preparation
of plans and specifications for the neces
sary buildings at the new posts and at
the posts to be enlarged, and to Invite
bids for their construction, but it is con
templated to place only a part of the
work at other places under contract at
present, to avoid the large congestion
which would result by throwing too much
work on the market at many of these
places at once. The work that probably
will receive first consideration will be the
new posts to be established at Chicka
xnauga Park, Haines Mission and the
Presidio, San Francisco.

RUSSIANS STOWED AWAY.
But Captain of Transport Logan
Would Xot Permit Search of Ship.
NEW YORK, July 2L Paul Kosahe
vltch, who represents the Russian Gov

clares, says a Herald dispatch from that

sort obtained shore leave, and after they
had embarked and the ship was about to
call, the Russian Consul at that port Is
said to have demanded of Captain Beck
ham the privilege of searching the Logan.
"No man will be allowed to search this
vessel,' Captain Beckham Is said to have
replied. The Russian Consul Insisted that
he had the right to search the ship for
the men, and when Captain Beckham
again refused, the Consul declared that
he would bring the matter to the atten

ki, three Russian stowaways, attired in
the uniforms of American troops, are said
to have been found on board.

when water must be apportioned vlth
justice "to all, and a century o'r more
hence we will have It distributed not upon
priority rights, but upon technical rights.
We cannot have a farmer getting more
water than he is entitled to because his
great-grandfather or somebody else hap
pened to secure the water rjght two
months ahead of somebody else. Water
must ultimately be conserved In the most
just manner for the general welfare of all

MACKAY'S BEXBVOLEXCE.
Gave Away a Quarter of a 3Illlion a
Year to Charity..
SALT LAKE CITY, July 2L P. H. Lan
nan, of this city, has treasured the friend
ship of John W. Mackay for nearly a life
time. He said today:
"I knew him for 40 years. I knew him
when he was a miner, and ho stood then,
with every man, as a peer. What he said
his fellow-men knew to be true. It has
been the same since, 4n California. New
York everywhere. I never saw a trait in
him that did not go to mako the perfect
man. He met every man on the broad
plane of manhood. He was rich, but the
poor saw nothing of his Wealth In meet
ing him, he loomed so far above It. His
greatest traits wero his unostentatious
generosity and charity and his wonder
ful Americanism. Considering the latter.
It seems an Irony of fate that he should
have died Jn a foreign land. His chari
ties, I know, amounted to more than $23),
000 a year, and yet so modestly were they
given that no one, excepting possibly his
private secretary, knows the beneficiaries.
"In tho enterprises which bore his name
at the head his sense of personal honor
was uppermost, and so certain that It pro
tected the lowliest of his associates, be
It stockholder In the Postal Telegraph or
employe In his mines. 'He scorned petti
ness and meanness, and his scorn, when
impelled, was tho loftiest In the world,
but always he stood by his friends until
the guilt of something petty Intervened.
"Mr. Mackay, had a tremendous pride in
his own good name and strove to keep It
above reproach. At the time of the Bar
ing failures in London, and against the
advice of astute financiers, he sent to
London to float a loon of several million
dollars for tho Postal Telegraph. The
loan was to remain open for 24 hours, and
was all taken In six. It Is only a sam
ple of the power of Mackay's name.
"The last time I saw Mr. Mackay was
May 24. this year, at San Francisco. He
wjh in the perfection of health and
boasted that he could 'handle any 70-year-old
fellow In the world." He was there
then arranging the preliminaries for the
laying of the Pacific Commercial Cable.
"There will be weeping and walling on
the Comstock, where his greatness of
heart was first and best known. I know
of no other man like him. He had all the
attributes of true greatness."
CLARK KXEW MACKAY WELL.
The Montana Senator Considers His
Death a Xatlonal Calamity.
BUTTE, Mont., July 2L United States
Senator W. A. Clark enjoyed a personal
acquaintance with John W. Mackay, and
when Interviewed, spoke of his death as
follows:
"We were warm personal friends," eald
the Senator, "and although we had no
business relations together, we frequent
ly met In New York. Mr. Mackay was
a. genial, whole-souled, broad-gauged,
typical Irish-American. He was liberal
to a fault. I consider his death a Na
tional calamity. His ambition In life
was to encircle the earth with his tele
graphic and cable lines, and there was
little doubt that he would accomplish hla
purpose had he lived. His latest enter
prise was the Pacific cable to the Phil
ippines. He accomplished great results
with h!s Postal Telegraph Company, ana
pushed his lines across the country
against the powerful influence of the
Western Union Company.
"Mr. Mackay visited Montana in 1863,
and he told me he rode from Virginia
City to Helena on horseback, looking
over the country. I believe he returned
to Nevada. He had some copper Interests
in Idaho, and helped to build a railroad
branch In the Lost River country.
"He built the finest mausoleum in
Greenwood cemetery. Long Island, that
was ever constructed, for the remains of
his eon, who was killed some years ago
In an accident while riding horseback.
The remains of the late Marcus Daly are
now In that mausoleum."
Will Xot Delay Pacific Cable.
NEW YORK, July 2L The last cable
gram from Mr. Mackay, who died In Lon
don yesterday, was one In regard to the
proposed Pacific cable, an enterprise
which had. been his dream for 20 years.
Thla cablegram was transmitted from
London to New York only a few minutes
before he was stricken. It was addressed
to Mr. Cook, one of his associates In the
cable, explaining the progress of the Pa
cific cable project nnd giving assurance
of its completion by July of next year If
the United States Government would fur
nish the eurvey made by the Nero.
Mr. Cook when asked today as to
whether Mr. Mackay's death would de
lay the completion of the Pacific cable,
said that while Mr. Mackay's death was a
serious loss, yet the work would go on
without interruption and the cable would
be completed and in operation by July L
1902. unices the Government soundings
were withheld from the company.
Mackay's Horses Scratched.
NEW YORK, July 21. All of the many
thoroughbreds belonging to Clarence
Mackay, which are now In training, will
be scratched out of events for which they
have been entered, owing to the death of
Mr. Mackay's father. Hl3 colors will not
be seen on the tracks again this year, al
though It is possible that some of his best
horses will be transferred to the name of
his trainer, Charles Hill, and will be raced
later In the season. That will be deter
mined -af ter Mr. Mackay arrives in Eng
land. During the la3t two years Mr. Mackay
has gathered one of the largest and most
successful racing stables In the East.
Mr. Mackay had engagements for his
horses at Saratoga and it Is a matter of
keen disappointment If they are com
pelled to remain In their stables.

three parcels of real estate transferred

and less expensive to his heirs the admin
istration of his estate.

afternoon involving the loss of 12 lives
and a widespread destruction of property,

improvements other than buildings. The
value of farm Implements and machinery
was J7Cl.ai,o30. and of livestock J3.07S.050.-
These values, added to the value of the
farms, gives a total valde of farm prop
erty amounting to 0.514,001,835.
The total' value of farm products for
the year 1S99 Is given at $4,739,118,752, of
which amount $1.71S,990,221 was for animal
products. Including livestock, poultry and
bee products.
The bulletin places the average size of
farms in tho United States at 145 acres,
and It Is stated that 49 per cent of the
farm land Is Improved. The total ncrcago
for the entire country was 841,201.546.
Tho number of farms In the United
States has Increased. In every decade for
the last 50 years, and so rapidly that In
1S00 there were nearly four times as
many farms as In 1S50, and 25 per cent
more than In 1S90. The total acreage of
farm land has also Increased, but up to
1S30 lees rapidly than the number of
farms, thus Involving a steady decrease
in the average size of farms. Since 1SS0,
however, the total acreage has Increased
more rapidly than the number of farms,
so that the average size of farms has
Increased. The total area of Improved
land has Increased In even decade since
1850.
A comparison by states indicates that
the most important states in the agricul
ture of the country are, beginning with
the West, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indi
ana, Ohio. Pennsylvania and New York.
Together they contribute 44 per cent of
tho total value of farm property and 3S
per cent of the total value of farm prod
ucts. Texas leads with the greatest number of
farms, 352.190, and also with the highest
acreage, 125,807,017. But only a little
over 15 per cent of the farm land in Texas
was Improved, and the value of the farm
land In Texas was less than in Pennsyl
vania, OhTb, New York, Missouri, Iowa or
Illinois, being $962,476,273. Missouri ranks
second In the number of farms, having
2S4.SS6. Other states having more tXan

the farm lands of that state being Im
proved. Illinois follows with more than
84 per cent, Ohio comes next with 73 per

more than 77 per cent.
Illinois occupies tho first position In the

A chapter of the bulletin Is devoted to
Irrigation, and the following extract from
it summarizes the presentation:
"A comparison of the number of Irri
gators and of the number of acres Irri
gated at the beginning and end of the
decade of 1SS9-1S99 shows that these have
approximately doubled. The number of
Irrigators in the arid states and terri
tories increased from 52.5S4 to 102,819. or
95 per cent, and the number of acres Ir
rigated increased from 3,364,415 to 7,263.273,
or 103 per cent. The percentage of in
crease In the number of acres Irrigated
is somewhat larger than that In the num
ber of irrigators, and occurs principally
in what may be termed the newer states
Idaho, Montana, Utah nnd Wyoming.
This Increase Is explained by the irriga
tion within recent years of large areas on
ranches In forage crops and pasture. In
California and Colorado the reverse con
dition Is noticeable. Tho increase both in
number of Irrigators and in area Irri
gated has been proportionately less than
In the newer states, showing a decrease
in ratio of growth due to the more com
plete development and utilization of avail
able water supply. In these states the
acreage irrigated has Increased respect-
