As the arid lands are now they are
absolutely OF no value to anybody. The
government could not give them away,
to say nothing Or selling them. 1t has
been estimated that 1t will cost the Unit
ed States about $iO0,00l0 900 to make
these lands cultiyable by providing them
with regular supply OF water Tor irrlga-
ton. When this is done the lands will
sell readily at ali average OF $40 per acre,
so the account will stand in this way:
Cost OF reclamation, $l00,000,00O; cash
received from sale Of reclaimed lands,
l00,00O,000 acres, at $40 per acre, ST.
! 900 900, 900; profit to the United States
on the transaction, 5000, 00000o, or more
than the actual amount ri tho national
debt at this time.
But this is not he best or strongest
argument in favor OF rcclaiming the arid
lands. ii the United States should pay
out 500, 00O,0 and not only not make
profit on the land, but not get back sin
gle cent of its outlay, sill it would be
good speculation; for the country could
well afford to buy cultiyable land ior the
people at 81 per acre, To add 100, 100000
acres to the tllable land Of the United
States is to create homes for generations
yet unborn, 1t creates territory nearly
as large as the republic OF France, which
supporlsapopulation Of So, 600, 900 people;
and all this the government can getfor 81
per acre. Certainly no other nation in the
world would hesitate moment over the
proposition, and it is not likely congress
will Maggie over it when it clearly under
sands it.

CONTEST SOON TO CLOSE.
Caucus to Nominate the Speaker q
Week from Today.

Hon. L f, McComas, secretary of the re-
publican caucus of the last congress. has with
the concurrence of all the candidates for
Speaker, and with the consent of the friends
of the candidates for the other Offices,
published a call for republican caucus
of representatives-elect at noon, Saturday,
Nov. Both, to nominate candi .ates for speak
er, clerk, sergeant at arms, doorkeeper, post
master and Chaplain.
1t is useless at this time to attempt to pre-
dict with certainty the outcome of the battle
now on. All the ether candidates are CON-
bining against Reed, but to use the language
of Correspondent Webb, "he walks down the
line with that cool bearing that is peculiar to
him under all circumstances" His friends
claim for him that his election is a certainty.
The fight appears to be assuming sectional
character, with the South an West against
the East. All sorts of rumors are set afOat.
One Of the most startling statements is that
Reed is not good enough protectionist.
There is a scramble after the member. from
the new States and they are claimed by most
everybody. Mr.. Reeds friends claim every
thing for him, and do not seem to regard with
anv degree of seriousness anyone else's can
didacy. They are positive that SO much
strength will be developed on thei- first bal
lot that their man will undoubtedly be chosen
when the second vote lie taken. Mr.. Reed
has gone to New York for day or two.

her course after the collision, without try

injury. The morning was little hszy, but
bright enough to see some distance ahead.

to the negligence of those on the steamer
Capt. Birisall had all the customary lights
burning and showed a light forwarl when
he saw the steamer approaching She paid
no attention to the shouts Of Capt Brdsall
