WHAT IRRIGATION ACCOMPL1sHEs

WHAT IRRIGATION ACCOMPLISHES
Under the heading "Plain Facts"
the San Diego Union quotes the pro-
ductiveness of Riverside as an evil
dence of what it thinks can be ac-
complished elsewhere, and to prove
the actual value of California irrigat-
ed lands, 1t says: "At Riverside
there are $500 acres of land that are
under cultivation. a considerable
portion of it is used for grain, hay
and vegetables, while another large
portion is planted to trees not yet in
leafipg. Bya conservative estimate
this land in five years from now will
produce double the amount, in
money value, of the present yield.
This years harvest has brought for
oranges $G75, 200, raisins $3.50, 200,
dried fruit 5000, making total of
81, 100000. Besides this there has
been produced large quantities of
green fruit, alfalfa, barley and vege-
tables, which will increase the value
of the crop to fully 81, 100000, or
about 5000 per acre. AS before stat
cd, in five years the productions of
this land will easily be doubled; but
even at the rate of 5000 per acre,
where in the United States, except
in Southern California, can such a
result be shown? The fertile prairie
lands of Illinois do not yield an
average of more than $40 per acre,
or only One-twentieth as much as
the lands of Riverside.

DESERT LAND LOCATIONS.

Entry men of desert lands are
making strong bids for public SYM
pathy In connection with their
claims to the public domain. The
bill passed by the last Congress re-
lating to surveys for irrigation gave
the Secretary of the Interior extern
sive powers for the reservation of
all lands recommended by the di-
rectors of the Geological Survey as
necessary or suitable for reservoir
sites and for the extension of irriga-
alton canals. 1t fixed the date of
October 80 1888 and any entries
made after that time We're ut the en-
trymun's risk. The Commissioner
of the General Land Office holds
the law to be mandatory, and will
set aside all entries of lands said to
be the director of the survey to be
necessary for its purpose.
The action is right and proper and
commendable in every aspect. In

or desert lands is purely and wholly

was disposed of for $50 to an acrobat,
the payment being half cash, the

not, and dispute arose over the

the policy of reclaiming the arid
lands il was clearly the duty of
the subordinate officers of the gov
ernment to aid i'm carrying out that
policy, and the most eflectual way
to do it was to make spectators
keep their hands off until it was
fully determined how much of il
would be needed for the carrying
out of the plan of irrigation.
These entrymen will probably go
to congress with their tale of woe
and try to persuade that body that
they are deeply injured; but senators
and representatives from the West,
who know what desert lands are in
their present condition, will not be
easily convinced that the entrymen
naye been materially damaged.
One who is debarred from securing
title to a tract of land which would
scarcely support lizards and horned
toads, cannot have any very strong
claim on congress for relief, more
especially when it IS shown that
this now worthless land, if kept
out of the hands of locators, may be-
come valuable by the perfection of
system of irrigation. When these
facts are explained to congress it is
feared that the entryman on desert
land who has been prevented from
getting title will receive but little

TALLY ONE FOR HOLMAN.
First Bout in the Supreme Court
in the City AttopneyshiD War.

Yesterday mornings session of the
supreme court was we'll attended by
interested attorneys of the city, the
case of o. E. Holman against William
Pitt Murray being the attractive feat
ure. The writ of quo warranto against
Mr.. Murray was handled without
gloves. but with fixed rules, solid prin-
ciples and recognized precedent. The
hearing was formally upon Murray's
motion to quash the writ. c. D.
O'Brien and ii. j. Horn appeared for
Mr.. NJ urray, and Walter III. Sanborn and
Attorney General Clapp for Mi. Holman.
Mr.. O'Brien made 4 statement of in
formation TO the court, after which MIR.
Horn made motion to quash the writ.
Elaborating upon first remarks, Mr..
Horn eloquently argued upon the fol-
lowing grounds. That under chapter
20 of the General Laws of 1878,
it was provided that all litigation arts
ing out of and over municipal elections
should be contested in the district court,
and the position now in dispute, he
claimed, was an elective one. He did
not dispute the jurisdiction of the SUI
preme court. but held that the more
proper proceeding should have been in
the: district court. Mr.. Horn also
thought that because the in
formation was not verified, he
stood upon sufficient ground to
make the motion to quash. Chief
Justice Gilfillan replied that the points
raised had been settled fifteen years
ago, and that the court should be com
PEELED to deny the motion. Mr.. Muir
rays attorneys then filed their response
to the writ, which i'll substance is as
follows: THAT lie makes a general
denial Of the facts alleged in the writ,
and pleads that he reserves the right
and privileges of the contested office
because Of the manifest insuficiency
of the said information of the writ, and
he should not be required to answer
it, but that the whole pro-
ceeding should be discharged. The
attorney general asked until Mon
day to either demur or answer Mr..
Murray's response. IL areply is made,
referee will be appointed by the court
to hear the argument upon merit, but
if the attorney general demurs the case
will be decided upon the papers.
In all. tits but another step toward
Holman'S ultimate victory.

Deserved Condign Punishment.
Where is the humane inspector?
Yesterday afternoon, from the capitol

broken-down looking horse being COM
PEELED to drag load of rock totally be-
yond its strength. The driver was un-
mercilessly beating the animal, which
pulled and tugged at the lead. but was
dead beat, and was only upon the indig-
antprotestS of bystanders thatthe fiend
driving the beast ceased his inhuman
treatment. The fellow deserved con-
dign punishment for his cruelty, the
horse being quite unfit for work. But
the humane inspector was not there.
Oh. no; he was either in his Office OF

Judge Nelson Will Decide in the
Case of the Steamer Ruby
TODAY

Case of the Steamer Ruby
To-Day.
The projectors Of the afidapits di-
rected at federal officers who conducted
the sale of the libeled steamer Ruby
were before Judge Nelson yesterday
morning, and argued the remaining
point in their case-that of setting
aside the sale on the ground that it was
made within instead of without the
custom house door. The scurrilous
mess which the numerous and appar-
entity authentic affidayitS set forth, was
cautiously avoided by those arguing the
matter. One of the deponentS confessed
that the Harris affidavit was never read
by the person swearing to it, nor did
that person know what it alleged.
Judge Nelson is justly indignant, and
his remarks suggest that he will deal
severely with those tampering with the
dignity of the court. One of the de-
ponents declared before the United
States marshal that the boat was worth
S1,S00, and was sold too cheap. As
sudden and unexpected reply, the mar
shall offered him the boat in behalf of
John Ives, the present owner, for $3.50.
His boast was thus choked off, as he
did not even come to buy at that low
figure. Judge Nelson will decide the
case to-day. and, if at all possible to
find reason for reSelling the boat, he
will order accordingly
