ordinarily productive tina
would depend on what kind O
hands it fell into. He had n,
doubt, however, but that if TIT
! characteristics of each locality
| were carefully studied and ex
perimented upon by intelligent
agriculturists having capital te
invest, the bottom lands of the
Colorado would rank high in
point of fertility. Mr.. W. did not
think it advisable fer men with
small capital to attempt agricul.
ture here.
Much Of this land above the line
of annual overflow, might be irri-
gated from artesian Wells-by
pumps, worked by steam, or wind
power in certain localities where
the sweep Of the prevalent south
and southeast winds would be
unobstructed.
Mr.. W. thought that the pres
ence of meZquite forests; great
areas OF arrowhead, and luXuri-
ant vegetation Of a similar ma.
ture; IS well the numerous
grOWths of willoWs-aIl indicated |
that orchards, embracing semi !
tropical and tropical fruits, would |
thrive, and especially crops of
zane, cotton, rice, if given due
attention. He also noticed a spe-
''es Of wild hemp, which grows
ust below us Oh the river, and of
which the Indians make fsh-nets.
t might be greatly improved by
Utilization, and prove a valuable
edition to other crops.
He estimated that there were
5000 acres susceptible Of cult
alton in San Diego county F;
1000 in the Mohave valley, Ari-
Ona; and lower down, near
amp Colorado, narrow strips Of
.rtile land, say $4,000 acres iu all

PROGRESS OF THE FIVE PER GENT LOAN
New York, January 29.-The arrangements
Of the syndicate for negotiation of the five per
cent funded loan have so far progressed that
the books OF subscription will be open in Europe
aud America probably as early as Tuesday,
February 4th, TO remain open not longer than
three Cr four DAYS. The strength and influence
Of the parties in Europe aud America, who have
the management Of the negotiation render 1t
more than likely that the same will be success
fully completed within the time specified. 1t
is, therefore, most important for national banks
which are dependent upon United States bonds
as basi' for circulation, that they should take
such preliminary action as will secure for them
the bonds they require.

THE PoIICE.--At the meeting Of the City
Council last Thursday evening, the police ap-
pointed by the Mayor were confirmed with the
exception of Daniel O'Neil, Thomas Hedrich
and Adam Orr. This would have been done
week ago, had the Democrats been willing to
have acquieseed in such action. They were de-
termined however TO confirm all or reject all IL
possible. The course pursued by them has
been factious one, and the effort to enlist
the Democratic members Of the Legislature, in
the matter, is ridiculous. When men are out
voted they should submit gracefully, and not
keep up useless strife. If Council must con-
firm all appointments without discrimination
or question, their power is useless and in no
way calculated to subserve or promote the
welfare of tho citizens. We hope that the
Democrats will look at the matter in proper
light, and admit that the Council! In no way
,Janscended the duty dcvolving upon il.

Ma. EDITOR This has Truly been week
of events in the State Capitol for the Demo
cratic party, through its representatives in the
Legislature, have killed outright three most
important bills the provisions OF which affect
The interests Of that portion OF The community
whom that party processes publicly to be the
friend of the poor men. The bills | mean
were "the Exemption Law" the bill remov-
ing tax from Loan Associations, and the bill
relieving the borrower Of money from The tax
assessed to the lender. Comment On such ac-
ton, is to every candid mind, unnecessary.
Both the Senate and House of Representa-
tves are now in the most excellent and ct
iicient working order, and tine amount OF bus
mess they are geitin. through with, Is linpre-
cedented in the history Of Legislation in cur
little State. This take it, is, in great mea-
sure, attributable to the efficiency Of the pre-
siding officers and clerks of the two Houses.
Dr. Leslie, speaker Of the Senate, TO an excel
lent administrative ability, joins irmness Of
character and keen and just perception Of
The responsibilities and necessities OF his posi-
ton, whilst the Senate's clerk, DIR. Shakes
peare, joins to his character Of skillful PEN
man, quick perceptions, industry and polite
and gentleinanly department.
Speaker Burchne Of the House, who COM
menced his duties Of speaker, with very little,
if any practical experience, has surprised and
gratited every one, by the faithful impartial
and correct manner in which lie peltormes
his duties. He has deservedly made himself
