More than three-fourths, of the coun- try is still desert, and it is proposed to regulate the watersof the Nile in upper Egypt so that a large area on both sides of the river shall be ro- claimed. Irrigation is vital to Egypt, for without, i. there could be no crops and a general famine would result. Thin work will be the first great construction project to be raunohed since the war. An irrigation commie- ,ion has been named to study the question on the White and Blue Nile and has already arrived on the ground.- It constets of four engineer- ing experts. Their work will oarry them far south of the limits of the Egyptian 'Government'a exclusive sphere into the Anglo-Egyiitian Sudan, to Khartum, where the waters of the White and the Blue Nile meet. The river has many Miami* during its course, the longest of any waterway on the globe, next to the Mississippi. From its source in Lake Victoria to Lake Albert, about 200 miles, it is known as the Albert Nile; thence to Lake No, 600 miles, as the Bahr -el - Jebel. Then it becomes, the White Nile to Khartum, where' the Nilo pro - par begins. Above v that paint the principal affluent is the Sobat, ptduth west of Fashoda, while below Khar- tum the atbara is the only tributary. The Nile drains a basin. of 1,107,227 square miles, e. little less than the Mississippi and the Obi, or the Congo, with 1,425,000 square miles, or the mighty Amazon, with 2,722,000 square miles, . draining two-fifths of South America. Northwest of Lake 'Victoria the Nile and Congo have a common watershed divided only by small ele- vations. From the low hills of Dar- fur the Nile valley sharply oontraots till It approacheswithin a few miles of the river at the great bend between the fourth and third cataracts, retain- ing its restricted width to'the Mediter- ranean. Beyond the narrow strip is the waterless desert withonly a few oases.' 5,000 Years of Endeavor.. • This, is the enemy that the irriga- tion commission has eet,out to con- quer. Water alone will not do it, for as soon as the siupply is withdrawn the land would again become dry and in- sert ile. It is the rich loam brought down by the Nile from the luxuriant lake region and deposited over the sandy bottom that makes lower Egypt one et the most productive regions; of the world in the restricted a%ea 'Of the delta, once the. granary of the Roman empire. For . 5,.000 • years the Egyp- tians: have been toeing to catch this alluvial deposit and as yet have only partially succeeded; Heroclotus mentions their efforts at a very early period of history and he himself, about the year. 460 B.C., made, a journey up the river as far as the first cataract at Assuan, -where the, great dam, finished in 1902, has con- iderably obliterated the rapids. The story of Jorelrh and hie brethren Is evidence of the oonserration of grata. in Egypt end the dependence of our- rounding urrounding oountriee upoai the land of the Nile for their supplies' in times of dearth. Even in those early days there was an attempt to catch the alluvium of the Nile in Lake MoorIs, south of Memphis, and above the head of the delta formed by the Rosetta and. Damietta branches, of the: river, The annual 'rise of the river overflowed in- to the lake, and when the Stream fell in the dry season the water poured back through the channel and was diverted , by sluices" to the ground ` to be irrigated, The lake has nbw shrunk in area and subsided more than 200 feet and its outflow ceased. about 230 13,0„ but the system of retaining the waters of the river in a basin by which the surrounding country can receive an annual flooding has been continued to this day. The greatest problem for the engi- neer isto catch de much as possible of the rich alluvium by preventing its escape. to .the sea and depositing it on dry fields, The slope of thee -land on each side of the Nile is away from the river, so that at flood it' vae easy to top it and let the mud charged water flow over ,the fauns to e. depth af` about a yard.' The mud was grad- ually deposited and after a month or sdx' weeks ks the water,' then !almost most clear, 'Was.- run off into the falling river, •Tbe ground usually 'was'rough- ly,plowed •in November and planted with ,,grain that sprouted in April without other watering. • Doubled Cotton Crops:, To prevent the loss of alluvial de- posits a French engineer under Me- hemet Ali designed two bridges aerate the Rosetta and Damietta branches at the head of the delta 'so constructed thatthe arches. could be closed by drop gates diverting the water.', to side oanala•. British engineers completed •these structuresoin 1$90 and the re- sult was that the five-year average cotton crop, ending in 1884, amount- ing to 123,000 tons, was raised by 1898 ,to 251,200 .togs. In' .1900.'.there were:abo'ut 2,100 miles of basin canals. A similar barrage was built across the river at Assint, finished in 1902 in time to avert disaster from the low Nile of that year, Extension` of the area sit ',cultivation• made 'More and more demands upon the river, and it. was realized,; ;that' if •'the" Perennial system were 16 be* continued the waters of the river would have ,to: be stored up, during flood'•time.' This re- sulted in the great Assuan dame finish- ed December 10, • 190, " which' sores up the tester, becoming full in March. As the demand for water increases,. the sluices, by which it is plarded, are grraduaily opened until July,when the current is allowed to Sow freely, Thus the great river 1s harnessed tie. the uses of man from Assuan to the. sea.

FLOUR Result of' Action of Wheat Board and. Lack of Export Markets. ' A despatch from. Ottawa says: - A material advance in the price eft flour in Canada is indicated in an announce- ment made here on behalf of Can- adian millers by George A. Mardon= ald, representing the Quaker Oats Company, and head of a delegation of representative millers which wait- ed on the Government to discuss the serious situation which Canadian mills are facing as a result of " the action of the Canadian Wheat Board in continuing the restriction - in the. price of flour on the Canad,''an market, and the lack of export markets., for Canadian flour. The increase will be necessary to meet the increasing cost of manufacture, it is understood. The scarcity of mil]feeds in Can- ada is directly traceable to the lack of a market for flour and the conse- quent decrease in the volume of dom- estic milling, the millers state. They have asked the Government to modi- fy the regulations of the Wheat Board and to cooperate. with • the millers in 'inducting, foreign .buyers to take a reasonable' pvQportionaoft Can- adian wheat as flour rather, than . sae wheat. - 'Vast quantities of flour are said to be. available in the United States for export,,:and this complicates the Can- adian problem. It is said that more than 4,000 men have already; been thrown out of employment by forced closing down of the mills, of which there are about 500 in Canada. ; Irish- Hoare Rule .

A Letter Fr om London The outbreak of influenza, which caused the postponementof the de- parture of the Prince of Wales for Australia has had the effect of pro- ducing an interesting • coincidence. The date of hie • departure from Ports- mouth was the nineteenth. anniver- sary of the sailing of his parents' on the Ophir for their memorable tour of the Dominions. Their majesties were then the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, for the visit took place shoh,tiy after the death of Queen Vic- toria, and King Edward had not then given the title of Prince of Wales to his son. The Duke opened, the first Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australiawhile' he was away,sY, and up- on on his return the Prince, as he had then become, deliveredhis famous "Wake Up England" speech at the Guildhall. ' * * * * Just before the Prince sailed he was formally summoned to the Privy Council by the King, though in the case of a member of the Royal Family no formal swearing-in ceremony takes place. This step would have been taken some time ago, had it not been - for the war, and the Prince became a member of this Council at a rather more advanced age than has been. sus-. tomary in the cane of the Sovereign's sons in the past. * 5 * * So far no -woman has ever been ad- mitted to the Privy Council, though how long it will remain a masculine preserve is very problematical, since in the event of a woman M.P. becom- ing a Cabinet Minister she would pre- sumably be sworn of the Privy Omen,- cll. ann•cll. * * * * Up to the present King George has been able to gay that he has travelled more miles throughout the world than any, other living Royal personage, But this record His Majesty is certain to lose within the next eighteen months~ since, extensive as the King's tours have been, they will .by that time have been eclipsed by the Prince ,of Wales * * * * The Prince, by the way, will be the first member of our Royal family to set foot on the West Indian Islands as a. formal visitor, and his welcome ie, in consequence, likely to be more than ordinarily enthusiastic. As it may now be taken for granted that the King's globe-trotting is at an end, and since at least two other visits for the Prince of Wales are projected, he is likely to set up a mileage record that will remain unbeaten for many a day. * * * * Prince Arthur of Connaught was to have held an Investiture on, behalf of "REG'LAR FELLERS" -By Gene Byrnes `(WANK You SO MUCH MR5.

Prince Henry was twenty an Mareh 31. He first ofall went to school at St, Peter's. Court, Broadstairs, then to Eton., and afterwards to the Royal • Miit arY College,Sandhurst. In July last he was gazetted a second lieutenant in the King's Royal Rifles, of which the Ring is Colonel -in -Chief. a * * * The Prime Minister has now been in office continuously for fourteen years. He was appointed President of the Board of Trade in December, 1905, and has since been Chancellor of the Exchequer, Minister of Muni: tions, Secretary for War, 'and Prime aSinister. It is a record without parallel in modern times, Sir Robert Walpole, in;' the first half of the eighteenth cen- tury, was Prime Minister ,and Chan- cellor of the Exchequer for twenty- one years, and Lord Hardwicke sat on the Woolsack for nineteen years. * * e * For some years Sir WiIIiam Slither land, the new Junior Lord of the Treasury and Scottish Coalition Whip, has. been Mr. Lloyd George's Parlia- mentary Secretary and right-hand man. At a fair computation he has been worth £10,000 a year to the Prime Minister, although he is only just over forty. His.constituency is Argyllshire, and because he is unmarried he was Ince taken to task at a meeting there. "Why," asked a woman, "are you not married?" "I am waiting for Bonnie Mary of Argyll," promptly replied Sir William, a rejoinder which effectually- captured the women's votes.
