projects. In the Klamath project, 136,-
000 acres, or more than half of the
area ot the total project, is rich tule
land covered by eight or ten feet of
water, and is to be drained and con
verted into over a thousand farms.
The topographic branch ot the Geo­
logical Survey, of which the Reclama­
tion Service is also a branch has al­
ready run its lines over many ot the
great swamp areas of the eastern
states and as soon as the Steenerson
bill becomes a law the Geological Sur
vey engineers will be ready to launch
out into immediate activity in drain­
age projects.
Would Start with a Million Dollars.
The fund provided by the bill would
be small as compared with the irri­
gation fund—it would approximate
half a million dollars a year and would
start off with about 11,000,000, the re­
ceipts from the sales for the fiscal
year 1905 being Included—but on the
other hand the cost of drainage would
not be so great as that of irrigation.

THE CAMERON ELM.
■!
Stopped the “Fast Flyer.”
At a recent dinner at the White
House, the following story, was told
by one ot the guests on Secretary
Taft, who was present, and who, by
the way, tips the scales at beyond the
three-hundred-pound mark:
The Secretary was returning to
Washington from Chicago aboard the
“Fast Flyer” that only stops at large
cities. He had urgent business with
an old acquaintance of his who lived
at a small station about two hundred
miles from Washington, the popula­
tion of which is about five hundred.
He asked the conductor if he could
stop the train for him at that place,
but he replied that it would be impos­
sible for him to do so—that he certain­
ly would lose bis job if he did. Well,
after much worrying over his disap­
pointment, Mr. Taft thought of a
scheme by which he could gain his
end, and when the train next stopped
he sent a message to the superinten­
dent of the road, saying:
“Will you stop your “Fast Flyer” at
Denizien for a large party on way to
Washington? If so, instruct conduc­
tor to stop today.”
About an hour passed, when the con­
ductor, passing through the train,
stopped at the Secretary’s seat and
told him that he would be able to get
off at Denizen as he had been ordered
to stop his train there for a large
party going to Washington. The Sec­
retary smiled, with that childlike ex­
pression of innocence for which he is
famed, thanked him and settled down
again behind his paper. Two hours
later the porter of the train called
“Denizen. Denizen.” much to the sur­
prise of the passengers. Mr. Taft
gathered up his handgrip and started
for the platform of the car, where he
was standing when the train came to
a dead stop. As he stepped off the
train there was no one in sight but
the surprised-looklng station agent
Cook Could Use Xiekuutne Too.
Hawaiian servants are the best—the
best in the world, but they are strange­
ly unsophisticated, strangely naive,”
said a lady who had lived in the
Islands.
“Hawaiian servants insist on calling
you by your first name. Ours were
always saying to my husband, “Yes,
John, or All right, John,” and to me
“Very well, Ann, or ‘Ann, I am going
out.’
“At last I got tired of this, and I
said to John, when we got a new cook:
“Don’t ever call me by my first
name in the new cook’s presence.
Then, perhaps, not knowing my name,
he'll have to say Mrs. to me.”
“So John was very caieful always
to address me as ’Dearie’ or ’Sweet­
heart,’ but the new cook—a watchful
chap—at first gave me no title at all.
Very soon after, we had some Eng­
lish officers to dinner. I told them
how I had overcome, in the new cook’s
case, the native servant’s horrid abuse
of his employer’s Christian names, and
I said ‘By this servant, at least, you
won’t hear me called Ann.’
“Just then the new servant entered
the room. He bowed to me respect­
fully and said:
“ ‘Sweetheart, dinner is served.’
‘‘‘What?’ I stammered.
“‘Dinner is served, Dearie,’ answer­
ed the new cook.”
