NORTH FORK, July THE weather for
the past week has been very hot, requiring .
large amount of irrigation and pushing the
crops rapidly. The wheat is nearly all head
ed out and in about three weeks harvest will
be upon us. The crops are quite good. and
there is fully twice as much ground farmcd
~ there was last year.
The streams are falling, and are now most.
ly within their banks. The damage done by
high water is far less than was at first sup.
posed it would be.
The advantages Of the high water are con.
siderable, US all now know where to build
homes that will be safe, and those in charge
of building the bridges can see what Is re.
quired To make them safe.
The road from here tO Gunnison In in good
passsble condition, and Mr.. Drake expects
TO start in q few days with q number Of teams
TO bring his mill from the Black mesa, where
1t got stuck in the snow last fall. He has
contracted with Mr.. Reich, the owner Of the
stage line from Delta to Paonia, to haul what
machinery he has in the Delta railroad ware
house to La vinia. Mr.. Drake certainly de.
serves the sympathy Of the people for his
losses and detention by snow and high water.
The grass on the ranges Is very good, and
stock is getting In fine order. The stockmen
are correspondingly happy.
We have now regular mail carriers between
here and Delta and between here and Craw-
ford and Mabar. GUY.

Human Love.

Oh, II there is one law above the rest,
Written In Wisdom-if there Is word
That would trace as with pen of fire,
Upon the unsullied temper OF child
Ifthere Is anything that keeps the mind
Open 10 angel visits and repels
The ministry of ill-'tis human love.
God has made nothing worthy Of con-
tempt:
The smallest pebble In the well of truth
Has its peculiar meanings, and will
stand
When mans best monument wear. fast

The law of Heaven Is love; and tho III

Has been usurped by passion.snd pro.

Still, the eternal principle Is pure;
And in those deep affections that we fee

The lavish measure in which love II

And every tree and flower, and running

Resignation of llr. Henry Willard.

NEW YORK, January The re-
signation OF Mr. Henry Willard as
president of the Northern Pacific
is in the hands of the directors,
but has not baen publicly Gnnoun-
eea, but il is probable that il will
be at or before the annual meet
ing Of the company, on the 4th
instant. There were any number
Of Wild rumors in circulation yes
terdsy regarding Mr. Willard. 1t
was said that he was dangerously
sick, that he was actually insane,
or at least that his mind Was shat.
tered, that he was soon TO leave
for Europe, that he had made over
all his property to the 10. T.r ss
restitution, aud so on. All these
are, OF course, simply eraggera-
tions or grossly false. Mr.. Willard
is indeed sick from nervous pros
tration, caused by the months Of
Intense excitement through which
he has passed.
Tho question Of Mr.. Wizards
successor has been settled by the
street for the stockholders In IA
vor of Mr.. Frederick Billings, but
whether the latter is elected or
not il is certain that he will be the
managing power. The fact Of Mr..
vill,rd's resignation Ia still denied
at the Offices of the company, but
there appears to be no doubt that
II was written several days ago,
and il being held back for private
reasons. II was suggested as q
reason for its being withheld that
the dirsctors were not going to al
low him to resign until he makes
partial restitution for their losses.
There are those, however, who
say that Mr.. Wizards wealth has
been very much ovsrratcd, and
that he has lost heavily in common
with his associates, but the re-
verso or this is the general opin.
ion Of the street.
| A prominent Wall street opera
tor aud heavy holder Of Kansas
Pacific, who is close friend Of
Mr.. Gould, yesterday said to q re-
porter for the World that he was
not surprised at Mr.. Wizards re-
signation and its acceptance. "lIc
has not,' ho said, "Bhown himself
TO be as shrewd q 6nancier as he
was supposed to be, because whom
two or three heavy men began
crowding him he quickly went to

the continuation of lsvee work
next season TO points of Teehe and
Yazoo basins. The commission
state that there are serious prse.
teal difficulties in the way Of con.
strueting a system Of levees no
higher than is necessary for the
confinement of ordinary foods
and at the same time protect them
against disastrous injury from
great floods, which occur at irreg-
ular intervals. Ii is obvious that
to secure protection for the valley
from overflow that there is neees.
sary system of leyees high and
strong enough to withstand the
greatest floods. No other means
of protection, the commission be-
lieve, is practicable or even possi-
BILE. These facts suggest obvious
ly the idea OF cooperation between
the general government and the
communities interested in the pre-
vention of overflow, in the main.
tenanee of levee which shall
serve at the same time the pur-
pose of Improvement OF the chan
mel and protection from overflow.
And IS the preliminary to the con-
sideration of such II suggestion
the probable cost OF such = sys-
TEN must be considered. For
about half the distance below Cai.
ro, only one side OF the river re.
luires levees. For the remainder
on this same side, the hills are so
near, at distances ranging from
immediate contact to not over six
or eight miles, that the loss of the
volume discharged over the inter
vening strip of bottom land is not
considered OF grave Importance.
by far the greater part of the re-
quired work is now in existence,
having been constructed by ripa-
risn committees and owners OF
land. Tho commission submit an
estimate Of the number of cubic
yards this work required for le-
wees of certain grades between
Commerce and the forts below
New Orleans---a distance Of 1865
miles. The total cost, at twenty
five cents per cubic yard, Is esii
mated at sll,443,770. iaH
A minority report was submit
ted by Gen. G. B. Comstock. liz
says the appropriation of Sl1, ,443,
| no mentioned by the commission
is too small for any adequate sys

destructive Hoods. As stated b,
