Reclamation of Arid Lands.

We direct attention to a report in
other columns of Mr.. H. w. Patton, U.
s. Land Register, on the subject of
desert lands susceptible of irrigation in
this Land District. Mr.. Patton shows
that there are 1886. 900 acres of arid
lands in this district, at least four mil
liens of which can be irrigated. All these
lands belong to the Government, and it
would be profitable undertaking for the
Government to furnish the reservoirs and
bitches necessary to reclaim them. Mr..
Patton also shows that under the Desert
Land act, out of 333, ISL acres that had
been entered, and first payment made
upon the same, only 6,627 acres have
been finally proved up and paid for.
From this source the Government has
received $92, $3.50 in first payments, all of
which have been forfeited and the land
thus entered has reverted to the public
domain. As most of this desert land is
on the Mojave, it is hardly necessary to
say to any one who is familiar
with this section that it could
all have been irrigated if works
for that purpose on a large
scale had been organized and
carried out. But individual locators
could not do this, and capitalists would
not advance money for the purpose.
The Government, however, would take
no risk in supplying water to these lands.
1t would be more than recouped in the
sale of them, and the benefit that would
arise in the enhanced value of the lands
to the purchasers is simply incalculable.
MIR. Patton estimates that the 100000
acres Of desert land that can be irri.
gated at an expense of 5000, 900 would
return into the treasury $4,000, 900.
Without irrigation it will forever remain
valuelees. We can we'll understand that
il is not desirable that the Government
should more than reserve, survey and
point out the points of vantage for storage
of water and distribution, leaving private
and corporate enterprise to practically
carry out the work; but in places where
all, or nearly all, the land to be re-
claimed belongs to the public dom ain, it
would be proper for the Government to
undertake all the work of reclamation.
1t would risk nothing in doing so in the
Mojsve desert, and would make homes
for thousands of families, besides demon
strsting the practical method of carrying
out the best system of storage and distri-
button.
The Arid Land Committee arrive
here this morning. For two days they will
be in the hands of our local committee,
who will take them to places where they
can see for themselves the best results
of irrigation. They will be shown lands
rich in production and covered with
hourishing towns and palatial homes
which but few years ego were
mere sheepwalks. These marvellous
transformations have been caused
by irrigation. Indeed, they will
realize wherever they 60 in this Southern
country that irrigation has turned it
from mere cattle range into orange
groves, vineyards and valuable fruit
farms. If they want results, they may
see them here.

MAYOR DOUGLAS DUNN, of San Diego,
came to Los Angeles yesterday to consult
with the committee appointed to receive
the visiting United States Senators and
Congressman. Colonel Gum has filed

of his city. As he is a distinguished
Southern California journalist, we take
pride in the very superior qualities he
has developed in managing the affairs of
his enterprising and progressive city.

ATLANTIC Cry, N. j., August 31.-It
was generally believed this morning that
bail in the sum of $4,000 would be en-
tered today for Mrs. Hamilton. She
will, however, remain prisoner at Mays

ton, who left Atlantic City this morning,
returned this evening. He will spend
the night with his child at
the Noll cottage. DIR. Crosby,
the physician attending Nurse Donnelly,
when seen this evening, declared that
the patient was constantly improving
and out of danger. Prosecutor Thomp-
son takes exception to the term used by
DIR. Crosby when he says: 81 now con-
slider her out of all reasonable danger. )"
Mr.. Thompson says he must have an un-
qualified certificate that the patient is en-.
tirely out of danger. from DIR. Crosby,
and also an examination and certificate
by one of the physicians whom he shall
select, before he will consent to bailing
the prisoner,

WHERE, Oh! where, are those good
and prosperous times the Republican
Rpellbinders promised the people one
short year ago? Not in all the four years
OF that party's retirement were there 80
many strikes, so many failures, so dull
times, 30 close money market, 80 little
enterprise and so little public improve
ment as there is today. The SPELL

during the week was unusually warm and
dry throughout the corn belt and extreme

REORGANIZATION of the Army-The

Czar's Delayed Visit, Etc.
Copyright, 1889. by New York Associated
BERLIN, August 81. The coming ses.
sion of the Reichstag is not expected to
be stormy or sensational. Among the
most important measures to be intro
duced is bill which the Government is
preparing for credits to augment and
reorganize the army, in view
of the continued increase of French
and Russian ornaments. The members
of the Reichstag and the public are
being prepared for this bill by signifi.
cant articles in all the official organs.
These papers are demanding an increase
of the German forces which is calculated
on the effective force that the new
French military law will enable France
to put into the field.
Several petitions have been sent to
the Government from Alsace-L Lorraine
asking that the authorities may be in
structed to mitigate the rigors Of pass
port regulations. The petitions thus far
have met with no response from the
Government.

layed returning Emperor Williams vieit,
and as being most anxious that this act
of courtesy should no longer be deferred.
Still after 80 many disappointments the
statement that the Gear has de-
cided to come next week, meets
with good deal of scepticism,
even in official circles. The bitter arti-
ces of the Berlin Post and other papers
may be attributed to the annoyance
caused by these repeated delays. The
Post declares that the only way to turn
the attention of Russia from war is for
the European powers to agree to give
her free handful in Asia or the Bal
