The New York Graphic wants the
Government to engineer the irrisa-
ton of the great arid regions OF the
continent, in concurrence with the
several State authorities. 1t truly
remarks that the subject opens an
opportunity for craftsmanship. In
many sections Of the Pacific States
individual efforts have sufficiently
met the necessities OF the case,
and, where practical, they present
the best solution. In Northern
California the great mining water
works offer the nucleus of an irriga-
ton system. Private companies
are constructing works on great
scale in Arizona, and the newly
completed MERGED enterprise is a
like instance. As population and
irrigation increases 1t may yet be-
come necessary for the State to step
in and harmonic conflicting inter-
ests. which have already begun to
create trouble. The General Gov
eminent might do a good work by
surveying watersheds, largely in
Government interests, calculating
supply and furnishing data necces-
sary to enable State or private en-
terprise to work intelligently.

No reward could induce the negro surf
men on the North Carolina coast to walk
along the beach Mt night, especially dur
ing a storm, when the lightning is flash
ing and the huge white capped breakers
come sputtering in on the sandy beach.
They imagine they can see in the phos-
phoresccnt light the forms Of sailors who
were lost at sea, riding in astride Of the
huge pillows. On account OF this super
stition it has been found impossible to in
duce negro coastmen to enter the life
saving service, no matter how well
adapted they may be for the work. The
tedious night patrol along the desolate
seashorc is what they object to. The
average seashorc negro would almost
rather die than to encounter the vague
form OF departed sailor man in the surf
or on the beach.-Brooklyn Citizen.
