The Dronertr was sold with the ripa HE realty market of the past Tl week has not been character-I lied by anything more than the UillMI VUttJ 0JI lug I UBU IUI homes and small property seems to have been the feature of the market. While the brokers declare that the demand for residences has been a little abovo the normal for this part of season, the' approach of real spring weather will no doubt witness' much more activity. Building operations are still somewhat checked because of the scarcity of materials and the excessive cost of the same.

Builders still complain that It is almost impossible to calculate the cost of proposed operations. Syndicates have been operating In various sections of the borough, and dealers in those localities have felt their Influence and activity. They have succeeded in getting a hold upon property In the Eastern District, a large tract of land at Coney Island, and the Bedford and uptown sections have experienced dealings which seem scope or the reclamation law. The only feasible plan to give Western Kansas the watrr It is In want of lies In the construction of artesian wells. In general It may be raid that the work of reclamation Is progressing, and that great good will eventually result from the wise law wnicn Das been enacted with that purpose in view.

AMERICA'S CANAL SYSTEM. Great Schemes for Land Irrigation in the Far West, Although less than four per cent, of thv available area for Irrigation has thus far been reached by the canal system, the largest area served In a single state by irrigation Is Id Colorado, where no less than seventy-five per cent, of the lands In the state available for cultivation depends upon the artificial water supply. These farms aggregate 1,623,000 acres. The South Platte Valley, which represents the most extensively Irrigated region in the Vnltcd States, including portions of Colorado. Wyoming, Nebraska, has 2.000,000 acres which are artificially watered.

Farms in I'tah thus supplied aggregate 300.000 acres, Arizona contains lOO.uuO seres. New Mex ico. 150.000 acres, Nebraska 100,000, while some of the most productive valleys ot lul ifornia which send their fruit and vegetables by the carload to all parts ot the United States as well as to the principal cities of Lurope, are nurtured entirely by wells and canals. et the average size of an Irrl gated farm is not over forty acres, which gives an Idea of the millions of people who depend upon these great waterworks for their livelihood. Tho canal systems already completed In the West and Southwest equal In extent any In (hp world in general dimensions save the East Indian ditches.

To serve the present territory cultivated by Irrigation, about 50,000 miles have been constructed, ranging In width from the ditch two feet across, to water courses which are 150 feet, carrying a volume of six feet in depth. The longest of the American canal systems is doubtless that which traverses the San Luis Valley in Colorado. It is known as the Henry Canal and is 237 miles in length, supplying 2,000 miles of laterals. La Junta Is 114 mllnB In length, connecting with 750 miles of lnterals, while the Pecos Valley In New Mexico obtains Its water from the Rio Pecos through a system which aggregates 1.249 miles.

Last Great Tract to Be Soon Open to Public. The last great body of public lands in the middle West suitable for homestcading for agricultural purposes is soon to be thrown open for settlement, and already hundreds prospective land owners are congregating around (he sides of that part of the Rosebud Sioux reservation which lies within Gregory 11 a 1 if -1 "tuja I iMM 5U a Decatur Street.

Sold by CreBcent Realty Company to Horace KingsDury lor uccuimncy. County, S. comprising nearly half a million acres of first class farming lands, says a Bonesteel, S. correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. Tho Indians themselves are divided as to whether to approve tne treaty or not.

While a majority of them some time ago wished the deal to go through, the opposition, led by Chief Swift Bear, Circle Fool and Big Nose, have used all their influence to defeat the project. These throe chieftains are holding out, not for a greater price to be paid the Indians, but from the desire to keep the lands for the young men of the tribe, who, as they grow up, must have farms upon which to live. On the other hand, a majority of the Sioux signed the original petition to the Indian Department asking that the lands be thrown open to the whites. With the expectation that the lands would soon tin thrown open for homestcading, white settlers began gathering at Bonesteel and all along the edges of the reservation several years ago and to-day a number of small towns have sprung up and have every feature of permanent villages. But In addition to those settlers who have gathered in the towns, there are hundreds who have built little shacks, or who are occupying tents stretched along the border of the reservation, both in Nebraska and In South Dakota.

Rabbi Alexander Lyons took for his topic "Lyn-blng. a Natkaal Evil." The topic was evidently suggested hy the recent lynchinr at Eprlngfl'ld, Ohio. From origin In the South, It was accepted as law, applied to a certain race and crime, lynching has spread ltsrlt throughout the. length and Ireadtb of the land. The sneaker declared that the application of lynch law placed Americans on the low footing of savages.

"We should have stamped it out when It first sbowe.l its hideous brad," contended the rabbi. "When (he Jews were massacred In Russia, a wave of righteous wrath swept over our land. That wave teemed to Indicate the existence of exalted motal Id tne American people. But, pointing to the atrocities of the lynch taw as it was monopolized by free America. Russia retorted, 'look to the beam in thine own We were not free to deny the Justness of the Mr.

Lyons said that be had no specific to offer as the sure and speedy cure of the debasing reign of lynch law. "Reforms move more slowly when they affect the strata of national lfe," he said. First the people must drop the scales from their eyes and see the hideous mien of Judgn Lynch. We cannot improve on the condi- tlons that are until they become unbearable. To become that, they must be seen face to face, not a in a glass darkly.

The speaker quoted Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court of the United States as saying; that any man implicated in lynching was in that extent a murderer and should be tried and punished as such. He went far ther, contending that the man who advocated lynch law was to that extent a murdered, and that a mr.n who did not raise his voice In protest was an accessory to the crime.

This building is to bs primarily the home of the Prospect central office, although It contains quarters for various other branches of the business, which has far outgrown the capacity of the company's headquarters on Willoughby street.

A. W. Brooklyn Hettreenttitlve. A Brick Are tho Most Durable. But when the reservation Is finally thrown open these people who have waited so long and so patiently, who have been the pioneers, and, in fact, have made the opening possible, will stand no better chance of securing a farm than the newcomer who reaches the scene of the "drawing" on the morning designated by the President.

Tho tract comprises 416,000 acres, enough for 2,600 homesteads of 160 acres. It is estimated that there will be 75,000 people In Bonesteel when the drawing begins. All of these will be seeking allotments. But the land iB worth it. It is in the very heart of the wheat-growing section of South Dakota, and has an annual rainfall of 27 inches.

In 1903 wheat averaged 18 to 27 bushels per acre; corn, 25 to 40 bushels, and oats, from 45 to 70 bushels per acre. A branch of the Northwestern Railroad runs right to the reservation line, and an extension haa been surveyed through the new territory. The Milwaukee road also has a survey near to the reservation, and will probably build there within a year. In telling of the advance of the region. T).

W. Forbes, president of the Commercial Club ot Bonesteel, says: "I came out hero fourteen years ago and took up a homestead. I have seen thie town grow up from absolutely nothing five years ago to a thriving town of 1,500, with threa banks, stores, grain elevators, hotels, BchoolB, churches, and we expect it to continue to grow when the new territory is opened. Bonesteel is the closest town to the reservation, and many of its citizens expect to get homesteads when the drawing takes place. Land just without the reservation Is worth $35 to $40 per acre, so that whoever makes a winning in the drawing will get something worth having.

I know every foot of land on the Sioux reservation, and I consider it one of the finest bodies of land which the government has opened for yeai'3." Old Chief Swift Bear also recognizes tho value of the country, and some time ago called a meeting of the Indians of the trlhe to discuss the offer of the government. The old man himself was the principal speaker, and with that eloquence possessed by so many wild Indians attempted to dissuade his fellows from agreeing to the salo of the lands. And bo forceful was the old man that when Government Agent McLaughlin took a poll of tho braves he lacked many names of having enough to make tho treaty effective. Then tho matter was taken out of tho hands of tho Indians and the department decided that since the government wns tho guardian of the Sioux, the government could do for the Indian as it pleased. And it pleased to throw open that part of the reservation which was not jn use to the white settlors.

And this is the bill which is now before Congress. The South Dakota delegation in Washington is united on tho question, and Bay there Is no doubt that lands will be opened thin summer, despite tho fact that tho Indian Rights Association is demanding that unless the Indians are paid a higher price than is at present arranged tho lands must not he opened. RECLAIMING ARID LANDS. Great Good to Result From a New Law. Tho act providing a fund for the construction of irrigation works for tho reclamation of tho arid and scml-arid regions In the Western states became a law about six months ago.

In substance this law sets aside all tho moneys received from the Bale of public lands for this great undertaking and authorizes and directs the Secretary of tho Interior to make surveys and do all things necessary for Its full accomplishment, Bays the Kansas City Journal. The movement to secure federal aid for, this reclamation has been agitated for many years. Its advocates have been so careful in collecting valuable data In the matter that the government officials, when the law was passed, were ablo to begin work at onco without losing much time in experimental Investigations. A contract has already been let for the construction of one catchment basin, and the Secretary of the Interior announces that he will soon be able to let contracts for several other big jobs. The responsibility of determining where reclamation shall be attempted has been intrusted to the hydrographio branch of the geological survey.

Tills body of exports has reported schemes favorable for Irrigation In Arizona, California, Colorado, Iduho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. In North Dnkota and Oklahoma they class the projects for reclamation as Impracticable or unnecessary. East of tho 100th meridian In Oklahoma irrigation is not needed for agricultural development, while Beaver County Is to a large extent arid with a water supply dependent J1 C''f i vj 4741 NEW TELEPHONE BUILDING.

The quest for desirable apartments has been unceasing and the brokers report little diffluulty in making rentals. The auction market of the past week has disposed of a number ol good investments in apartments and private dwellings. Probably the largest deal of the week In residential property was consummated by the D. M. Chauncey Real Estate Company.

Thirty-six houses on Alice Court and Agate Court were sold to an investor for about $160,000. Alice and Agate courts are small private thoroughfares running north from Atlantic avenue, between Kingston and Albany avenues. There are nine houses on each side of the courts. The houses are two and a half and three story dwellings which belonged to tho Grosjenn estate. Half of that city block was owned by the estnte and the two courts were opened about twelve years ago.
