THE BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION.

Until recently the residents of
Central California had as stock
argument that their lands were bet
ter than ours was because they did
not nave to irrigate. Their fruit
was better favored than ours be-
cause they had not been irrigated.
OF course it was not true, but they
had repeated it so often that they
really believed in it religiousIy.
Now, however, change has come
over them. Some few courageous
ones made the experiment of irri-
eating and were astonished and de-
lighted. The fever spread and now
there are irrigating enterprises pro-
jected that will cost millions of dol
lars-and it will be money well
spent, too.
The Colusa "Sun" has been one
of the ardent believers in irrigation,
and has done and is doing yeoman
service. In the last issue it prints
the following interview, which shows
that the people are waking up to the
benefit of irrigation and the results
that have been and may be obtained:
We met w. $. Anderson on the
street Tuesday evening, and know
ing that he was pioneer irrigator
in the Elk Creek neighborhood, or
Stony creek, we fell into converse

AMERICAN NAVAL OFFICERS WITH JAP

Writing of the marriage Of Lieu
tenant Foulk oil the United States

ma correspondent of the st. Louis
Democrat says
"Once before an officer of the
American Navy has been married to
a japanese woman, and he still re-
sides here, never having gone home.
1t happened some fifteen years ago,
when the young American Lieute-
nant obtained two years leave of
absence for the purpose of giving
instruction in japanese engineer
ing college. When his time was
up, the deep and strange fasclna-
tion of this country was upon him
and rather than break the spell and
leave these ideal surroundings and
the quiet, poetic life he resigned
from the navy and ceased all COM
municaton with his family. He
was not happy with his wife and he
wrote her that he should never re-
turn and that she might get di-
vorce or do as she pleased. He
attached himself as nominal teacher

A LARGE PAYMENT.

Some time ago the BULLETIN an
nounced that the special deposit in
the Post Office Savings Bank, on
account of japanese, was to be with
drawn early this year. This de-
posit with interest amounted to
$102, 900, and it was paid in gold at
the Treasury to-day. Just why the
Japanese Government should hesi-
tate to entrust the safe keeping of
these funds to the Hawaiian Govern
ment is perhaps only known to the as
tuteofficials at Toxic, but the prompt
itude of the settlement of their claim
should dissipate any suspicion they
may have cherished of the absolute
security which the Post Office Say,
iDgs Bank offers to depositors. II
is understood that the deposits in
this public institution ranges be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 pei
month.

PRESSING DUTIES.

The decision of the Supreme
Court OH the Act of November 26th,
1887, published in the BULLETIN on
the 4th instant, appears to have
given general satisfaction. 1t may
have disconnected certain plans and
rendered new combinations proba-
BILE, but the country is entirely the
gamer by the assured stability of
the Supreme Court and its indepen-
dence of the Crown and Legislature.
Now that it is decided that we have
anindependent Judiciary would itnot
be as well for the Attorney-General,
representing the Government, to at
once take steps to test the validity
Of certain bills vetoed by the King,
but promulgated nevertheless as
laws under the signature of Hon.
w. r.. Castle, President of the
Legislature, endorsed that it was re-
turned to that body unsigned, and
setting forth further particulars.
These bills or laws embody a
grave constitutional issue which
cannot be settled one hour too soon.
A question of fact is also involved,
namely, whether the endorsement in
question is an accurate recital of the
facts of the case, that is, whether
it is competent in the Legislature to
ignore veto message from the
King and thereby nullify Article AS
of the Constitution. This point
arises solely through the action of
the Legislature in erasing from its
records something which the Con-
stitution requires should be en-
tered on them and acted upon.
These points should come up in
some specific form and be settled
once for all early in the life of the
new Constitution. We say this in
the interest of peace and harmony.
No useful public end can be served
by uncertainty. If the Constitu-
ton be found defective in practiC.,
and it has not had fair trial yet,
it can be amended. But judicial
ruling is necessary for the sake of
future legislation, to the end that
conflicts may not arise between the
Crown and the Legislature, and
that crude or ill-adyised laws may

some other popular quarters the

ticed several times in downtown

her desk the other day. The
plump, prosperous-looking head of
the establishment smoothed down
rebellious reddish brown locks as
she explained, to an accompanying
clatter and bang, as if the whole
alphabet were out on spree: II

she said. "She came to me year
ago to learn the business, and her
mother--she wore diamonds-came
with her, half-apologising for her
daughters whim. The two of them
wore gowns that turned the heads of
the whole office, and looked rs if

little, that she was engaged to law
student-an impecunious one-and
they wanted to marry as soon as he
was admitted to the bar. Papa
had absolutely refused his consent,
and mamma, frowned on the whole
thing. So what does my lady do
but get permission, without assign
ing any reason for the freak, to
learn typewriting-she is studying
shorthand too-having taken the
idea into her head that, if she and
her law student chose to marry
when the time came, she could sup

pRlGS In PARLIAMENT.

The badger-baiting instincts of
the young English "gentleman'
have full play here. Night after
night some dozen of these aristo-
cratic dullards come in after dinner
and take their places on the front
bench nearest to the Irishmen oppo-
site. They are mostly in evening
dress, with roses in their button
holes, and an insolent, vinous grin
on their faces. The moment any
Irish member gets up TO speak
these gentry begin to laugh and
jeer, or say, ''Divide! divide!
divide!" in unison, as rapidly as
they can. They vary this from
time to time by saying audibly
among themselves, "What cad ~
"Who's his tailor, / wonder!" and
things of that sort. There is in all
this only the natural expression of
instincts which have been bred in
these cubs by generations of rat
killing, dog-fighting, foN-hunting,
badger-baiting ancestors. These
young fellows know nothing beyond
the noble range of what they call
sport.
If any one of this dozen-types
of ten thousand-were asked sud-
denly who Katoff or Jules Ferry
was he would look at you in sur
prise. He knows the name and
record of racing horses; he knows
the masters of the hunts, the best
cricketers, the owners of the crack
yachts. He does not know what
century Chaucer lived, hut he
knows that you may shoot grouse

sort of thing to do, but of the merits

He is annoyed at the Government

venges himself by badgering thu

this giving him the right to live in n
city in the interior; and taking a
japanese wife, adopting the Jap
anese dress and making himself en-
tirely one with the natives, he quite
ceased to be considered foreigner
at all. Some of his old shipmates,
returning to this station, have tried
their best to hunt up the exile, but
failed, as he assumed japanese
name with japanese dress, and there
is no way to trace him or get at
him. There is tradition that he is
often seen riding about the streets
of kioto, and one man claims to
have seen him at Yaamis hotel there
one night. The delightful mystery
about the man increases with diff
ferent versions of the reasons for
exile. One is that he dropped out
of his old world society to escape
from his wife, all other means hav-
ing failed. The other side is that
it was his romantic love for his jap
anese wife that caused him TO sacri-
flee home, country, family, friends,
his profession and ambition for the
dreamy, mouotonous, comtempla-
tive life that he leads in the aban-
doned capital of old Japan. His
American wife, who lives in Phila-
delphia, obtained a divorce few
years ago and it is rumored that the

sumed communication with some of
his relative and will come out of his

win GEESE CALORE

At this particular season of the
year the epicure of Sacramento and
San Francisco is luXuriating upon
the festive goose, and the farmers of
the Sacramento valley would be de-
lighted if the swarms of the fowls
which are now coming in for winter
quarters could be transferred in
body to the city markets. If the
San Francisco denizen, who looks
with longing eyes at the tempting
display of dressed geese in the mar
kets and show windows of San Fran
cisco, could look upon the immense
hocks of the birds as they swoop
down upon the wheat fields in this
section of the State, and see how
numerously they are killed and left
lying on the ground, their idea of
goose luxury would vanish.
Not until late years have the
geese invaded the farming precincts
of Yolo county to any damaging eX-
tent, but now they are looked for
with mingled confidence and dread
by the farmers in the northern por-
ton of the county. They generally
make their appearance early in the
fall or just before the fall rains.
Their first visit is confined to the
country along the river or where
they can obtain water, but after the
rains come and water can be had on
the back plains they migrate to the
wheat fields and live sumptuously
upon the wheat stubble. Yet their
numbers are indeed small in this
county as compared TO those which
infest Colusa county, as the large
expanse of barren plains in the lat
ter county affords them a better
rendezvous. The writer has seen
them in bands which covered as
much as fly acres of ground.
These invading armies are very
damaging to young grain, and as
soon as the grain begins to sprout it
is necessary to employ "herders," :"
who parade the fields with rifles
and drive them off. Such farmers
as Boggs, Rideout, the Glenn Ranch,
etc, employ no less than a dozen of
these herders every fall and winter,
who live in cabins distributed over
their lands. or late years the farm
ers of Yolo county in Hungry Hol-
low and along the tules have also
found it necessary to herd off the
fowls in order to protect their grain.
People living where these geese
abound so plentifully scarcely ever
use them for food. Ia the early
part of the season they use them,
but as soon as the grass starts and
the flavor begins to grow strong they
are not considered fit to be eaten,
but the hunters, all the same, con.
tinue to send them into the market
for the epcures of the metropolis.
These fowls also feed at night, es
pecially on moonlight nights, but
the ducks are more troublesome
after nightfall. One plan adopted
by the farmers is to station Lighted
lanterns over the fields, but tho
ducks soon learn to walk up to th,
lanterns to warm their feet. These
fowls, both geese and ducks, are ;
great nuisance in quarters wher'
they congregate in such numbers
and the farmer finds them a stub
born enemy to contend with. Th
goose is by no means the proverbia
"goosc" applied TO his name

OIL QUELLiNG AN ANGRY SEA.

A frequent cause of disaster to
ships is the breaking of seas over
them, and on this point the Hydro
grapher of the United States has
published within the last two years,
in pamphlet form, digested from the
Wonthiy Pilot CAart, list of 120
authenticated cases in which furious
seas were allayed by the use of oil,
the latest proof of which is furnished
by Captain Wales of the British
steamer New Guinea. as follows:
4" In January of the present year,
making passage from Baltimore to
Antwerp, encountered very heavy
western gale, accompanied by a tre-
mendous sea. Considerable dam
age had been done to boats and
about the decks by the seas coming
over the side, and the Captain wish
ing to avoid heaving the vessel to,
if possible, decided to try the effects
of oil, his attention having been
called to it by the perusal of printed
accounts. Two men were stationed
forward-one at each closet-with
ordinary soup and bully cans filed
with raw linseed oil, the bottoms of
the cans having been punched with
two or three small holes. The oil
was allowed to tricllle into the bowl
and thence into the sea, with what
seemed to the Captain wonderful
effect. The oil-slick extended well
out on either quarter, and so far
astern that not single sea broke
on board after the use of the oil was
begun"
The Captain described the man
ner In which the great white-ercsted
seas would come roaring after the
ship, as if they would sweep her
decks fore and aft; and how, on
meeting the oil-slick, the crest of
the sea would apparently be shat
tered into fine spray. and nothing
left of the tremendous breaker but
an enormous swell, over which the
ship rode easily and without taking
drop of water. The captain gave
his personal attention to the eXpen-
diture of oil, regulating its flow by
stopping one or more of the holes
in the can when more than was ne
cessary ran out, and in this way he
succeeded in making seven gallons
of oil last twenty-four hours. All
this time his decks were almost alb
solutely dry, the only water coming
on board being the fine spray from
the crest of each wave as it came
into contact with the oil-slick, and
was blown on board by the wind.
Captain Wales adds that he makes &
point of using oil when even not alb
solutely necessary, as it adds sc
much to the comfort of all on board
and eases the ship. 1t would seen
to be the part of discretion, now
that the question of the use of oil il
such cases is finally settled, that al
ships be regularly equipped with ap
pliances for casting oil on the water
just as they are compelled to carry
lights and compasses. "Sea break
ers".-appliances for the distribu
tion of oil--have been patented
both at home and abroad, and ar,
now used by cattle-carrying steam
ers and some other vessels. Speca
oil is now manufactured for thi
purpose. e.-Forum TOR Nooem Der.
