on the Alkaline Desert.

Governor do you anticipate that the aka
line desert between Ogden and the Sierre Ne
vadas can ever be made available fer agri-
culture or anything else?' l asked of ex-Sen-
ator Stanford.
81 thought it could not when we built the
railroad, but now l am not sure that the
whole of it will not at some day be green and
productive. We never knew when we came
here that we could grow wheat, and for
long time obtained that commodity from
Chill, yet at the same time wild grass was
growing up to the saddles of the horses as we
rode along in California. We finally began
to grow wheat, but thought it could not be
done without irrigation; experience showed
US that in very many cases no irrigation at
all was required to make a crop. l was
long time persuading Brigham Young to
grow some wheat without going to the ex-
pense and labor of ditching and irrigating.
He reluctantly tried the experiment, and
found it complete success. The alkali of
our plains, am assured, will one day come
into market as a fertilizer for the east and the
outside world. You know the formation of
country beyond the Sierra Nevadas for
great distance; it consists of estuaries of in
land lakes, which receive the drainage of
those interior valleys. There is constant
transfer being made of the surface barren
ness to the bottom of the earth. | think it
will take no longer to make the plains bear
than it took to make the east grow grain and
fruit. They had to cut off the trees and get
away the stumps, and we have to deal with
an other kind of obstacle. ."-sGathn in Gin

GeorSeOus Texans in Washington.

A Texan of some distinction came to Wash
ington the other day in what was considered
for Washington a shabby outfit Coming
from Texas he fancied he was ''got up re-
gardless." But when he met his congress
sional friend here the first thing the latter
said was, "What in hell's the matter, Tom?
You certainly do look tough and shabby
You must go to my tailor's and get new
suit of clothes before you can make an ap-
pearance in Washington society"
"Why, what's the matter with youF said
Tom to the congressman. ~ was up in your
county the other day with this same toggery
aboard, and they were going to shoot me for
dude"
''Thats all right at home," said the con-
gresham, 'but it is very different here,
you know. Look at this" and the con-
gresham took from the wardrobe in his
lodging a nice new evening dress suit.
"Great Jupiterln exclaimed the new
arrival, amazed at the extraordinary cut of
the thing; 'and what do you intend to do
with that"
The congressman explained that personally
he was as much opposed to foppery and con-
ventionality as anybody, but that the word
had lately come from Texas that the repre-
sentatives of the Lone Star state must lick
the best of them in the matter of style at
Washington, in consequence of which every
Texan now in Washington has provided him.
self with an evening dress, including
diamond studs and patent leather pumps,
that will take the shine out of anything else
to be seen here during the coming winter

NlistOOk His Guest.

A judicial joke is out and will start the
rounds on the United States circuit Every
one knows how expert and almost unerring
the proverbial hotel clerk is when he takes in
and sizes up strange guest, as he writes his
name for the first time upon the book before
him, and how accurately he fits him and his
pocket book with a room. 1t was about three
years ago, when, having successfully steered
his canoe between Scylla and Charybdis in
the United States congress, Judge Speer as
cended the bench Qf the United States court
in Macon. He arrived in the city at night,
and, going direct to the Hotel Lanier, regis
tered Emory Speer'' in business like hand.
When he had finished his autograph the alert
clerk was already studying his keyboard,
evidently little perplexed as to details. But
presently he turned and asked: ''Mr. Speer,
what line do you carry!' 'Mr. Speer" looked
at him and repeated the question in evident
astonishment ''What line do 1 carry! l
don't understand you, sir. Do you allude to
my politics." "No, sir, but wanted to know
whether you required large or small sample
room" Explanations followed, and that
hotel clerk always keeps mighty quiet when
he goes into the United States court room-
