JRRIGAT1SG THE COLORADO DESSERT
Senator Jones will not introduce his bill
TO proyide for o Commission to report
up1n the practicability of irrigating or
fiIline with water, the basins of the Col
orado desert, in Southern California,
until the report of the engineer who e1-
nlored the country near the mouth OF the
Colorado river is received. This IS now
expected, as strong influences will be
brought to bear to secure the passage OF
the bill. The expenses of the survey

A No FKNCE LAW has passed. tue Nai-

despots and the poor banditti. 1t dates
back to the Spanish grant system ana
deals in leagues and great wide ranges
and huge bands of cattle aud sheep ana
horses. 1t is the paradise OF the land
orabber and the lordly stock owner; and
the refuge of modern feudallsm IhlS

c,,.aze where he saw tit. and unless the
farmer had his fields and his vineyards
and his aardens fenced in he was com
neIIea to stand guard over his crops or
leave them to the mercy OF the SraHiei

was a serious attempt to subject tie
small farmers of Nevada to this manifest
Injustice. The attempt will be revived
