Public Irrigation for the Arid he.

gions-Senate Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-The Sundry
Civil bill was before the Senate to-day,
and Bowen offered an amendment ap-
propriating $3.50, 900 for the purpose of in
vestigating the extent to which the arid
region of the United States can be re-
deemed by irrigation. He briefly ad-
dressed the Senate in support of the
amendment.
Allison thought this appropriation to
be but the entering wedge to much larger
sums yet to be appropriated before such
work can be accomplished.
Teller favored the amendment.
Plumb opposed it, and said the n easure
was conceived in utter disregard of the
riparian rights of those who dwelt on the
Platte, Arkansas and Mississippi rivers.
He saw in it the means OF speculation in
the public domain. This proposition was
supported by Stewart, Voorhees, and
Call.
Beck said the effort OF the survey would
be in the interest Of spectators.
Teller denied this, saying it was in the
interest of the great toiling masses who
lived on farms, and in the interest OF the
nation. He moved to add the following
words to the amendment: "And as fast
as sites for reservoirs shall be designated,
such sites shall be in state of reserva-
ton until the President OF the United
States shall otherwise order," and the
motion was agreed to.
After some further discussion, Reagan
offered rs substitute for Teller's amend
ment to the amendment, the following
(which was agreed toy: "And all lands
which may be designated for reservoirs
and canals for irrigation, shall be re-
served as the property Of the United
States, and shall not be subject to entry
or settlement until hereafter provided for
by law"
Finally the discussion closed, and
Bowen's amendment as amended was
agreed to; yeas 20, nays Is. Adjourned.
There is good reason to believe that
the Senate Select Committee on Pacific
Railroads will tomorrow report the
Onthwaite bill to the Senate, unani-
mously, favorably and without amend
ments.
The nomination of Surveyor General

THE RAILROADS.
The Santa Fe to Run ON Rattle-
snake Island.

The Santa Fe to Run On Rattle-
snake Island.
The fate of the Campbell Railroad
which is located between Long Beach
and Dead Mans Island and known AZ.
the Long Beach and San Pedro Railroad,
appears to be settled. Owing to its great
commercial advantages, as it controls
harbor facilities equal to those pos
sessed by the Southern Pacific, it
has always been a question into. i.
the hands of which of the great trans-
continental roads it would pass. MANY
thought that the Union Pacific would
gain possession as it would be splendid
outlet for its Utah Central extension to
Southern California, and others thought
that the Missouri Pacific would eventual
ly gobble it up, as that line has already
got as far westward as Pueblo, and un-
doubtediy means to reach the Pacific
some day. But all this time the Santa
Fe was not asleep. 1t was just as alive
to it's own interests as it has been ever
since it began extending its octupus-like
arms over the country, and the first thing
it did was to make arrangements to run
its trains over the line between this
city and Alamitos Bay, which Gen.
eral Bouton projected some time.
ago and of which he is President, and
James Campbell, General Manager. Af-
ter Mr.. Campbell's return from the East
the Long Beach and San Pedro road was
projected by the last named gentlemen,
the line to connect with the terminus of
the Alamitos Road and run through
Long Beach to the San Pedro river,
where it wonld cross over to
Rattlesnake Island and run along that
stretch of property and the land secured
to deep.water at Deadman's Island.
Although the maps were filed and the
right.of-way obtained, no construction of
any description was commenced and it
was plain to see that the proprietors Of.
the line were waiting to see which of the
great roads was most anxious to,
obtain it and hold out the best induce.
ments for that privilege. 1t was stated
ON the streets yesterday that the Santa
Fe had made the deal and that as soon
as its new line to San Diego was COM
pleted, the laborers would be transferred.
to the Campbell Roads and
at once complete them. If
this statement is corroborated
it means that the Santa Fe has aban-
doned San Diego, and it does look little
that way when one considers the recent
removal of the offices from that place
and National City to the headquarters
here. This was only to be expected
though, when one remembers that the
entrepot of commerce must always be as
near as possible to its distributing point
and San Diego could certainly not claim
that distinction. TIE Santa Fe will un-
doubtedly make things lively if they de-
eide to. make Rattlesnake Island their
shipping headquarters for Southern Cali
fornia, and as there is no other place
with more advantages along this part of
the coast, everything points to enormous
improvements being commenced.

Between the Cars.

A brakeman on freight train on
the L. Il N. came near losing his life
last Saturday at Empire. While on
a car at one end just as he was in the
act of applying the brake, the engin-
Ger, in order to stake up the slack"
moved the train, which precipitated
the brakeman, whose name is Polk,
between two cars, thus throwing him
into an exceedingly dangerous po-
sition. Strange as 1t may appear,
Polk was not killed outright, luckily
escaping by only having his back in
jured. He was brought TO this city
Saturday evening, and is now re-
ceiving medical attention from DR..
Blakey, and If not injured internally
will soon recover.
