Reclamation Progress at St. Francis Basin and Nile Compared
The St Francis basin reclamation, under Missouri and Arkansas boards with federal support, has cost about 1.5 million dollars with 700 thousand from the government. Land value has risen dramatically, railways cross the area, industries grow, and population doubles. Compared costs show St Francis at five million dollars for 3,500 square miles, far cheaper per mile than Egypt’s Nile project, which aims for 25 million dollars and Dam construction at Assouan and Assiant.

Canned Horse Meat Boom Lifts Linnton Abattoir Plans
The Linnton horse-pickling works expect to restart mid next month as over 10 000 ponies are shipped to supply British armies in South Africa. Many scrub cayuses remain unsalable, unfriendly to riders, and unfit for meat, left to grazing range while railroads offer low transport rates to Linnton for slaughter. The stockmen seek better use for ranges and cattle, with meat alternatives exported to France and Holland where horse meat faces less prejudice.
