ARID LANDS AND IRRIGATION.

The Chicago Inter Ocean in an admir-
able editorial under the above head says:
The senate committee on irrigation OF
arid lands has completed its inquiries
concerning the needs and resources of
California. 1t has seen lands on one side
of a slope so barren that dozen acres
hardly can feed sheep, and lands of like
soil on the other side OF the same slope
made to produce crops such as the most
famous farming regions OF the older states
are incapable of; the one side of the slope
was irrigated, the other was in its natural
~ arid state The lands on the arid side
were offered at 10 cents, those on the irri-
gated side at from 500 to 800 per acre.
The arid area OF all the states and terri
tories is equal to two-ffths of that of the
United States. 1t is estimated that by
irrigation it may be made to produce at
least half as much again OF grain. fruit
and vegetables as the whole naturally till
able lands of the country The irrigated
lands of Africa and Asia have been the
granares of the world, and still are the
.ranares of nations. Twenty acres OF
irrigated land in Southern California have
been found to produce as largely as 100
in Illinois. The man who farms by irri-
gation needs but few acres to make him
prosperous. And thus the question of a
multiplicity of farms for the multitude Of
wou!d-be farmers becomes easier of solu-
ton. ..
As to California, and doubtless to the
other states and territories in which arid
acres are numerous, nature has provided
plentiful supplies OF wafer. The problem
is to bring the water to the land, and this
is not difficult OF accomplishment, though
necessa lily requiring great outlay OF
capital. But it is not the intention OF
government to construct channels OF irri-
cation that must be the work of the
states and territories, or OF private or i'll
corporated capital acting under state or
territorial laws. The intent of govern
ment is to reserve from sale such lands as
are The ia ural sources Of water supplies
and to keep these great fountains of rich
ness available for distribution among the
millions OF acres which. now are barren
1t may 20 so far as to lead streams into
great reservoirs and to grant the right OF
distributing the waters either to states and
territories or to capitalists who will give
bonds for the construction OF proper suices
and canals and for distribution OF the fer
tilizing streams at moderate cost. And it
will compile report as to the best sys
rems practicable for irrigation in this
country. But in no case will SPECTATORS
or monopolists lie allowed to possess
themselves OF the great water supplies
still under government control. 1t is to
prevent such monopoly that the work to
which the labors OF the senate committee
is preliminary will be undertaken.

THE DREADED pIpETHERIA,

Within the last few months the medl'
cal profession in Boston has been giving
earnest and extended consideration to
this modern disease, which has so rapidly
come to be one OF New England's three
great scourges-the other two being con-
sumption and pneumonia, We present,
in brief, some OF the more important facts
elected by the discussion.
l. Contrary to previous belief, there
seems to be no special relation between
its prevalence and bad drainage or other
unsanitary conditions, The best districts
in Boston have suffered as much as the
worst i'll some cases even more so. 1t is
the same elsewhere, % careful iuvestiga-
tons attest.
2. Its prevalence must at present be
regarded as due to direct personal con-
tagion. 1t is greatest in the school months,
with q marked falling off in July and Au-
gust. Patients are often allowed to go
about freely during convalescence, while
not yet fully free from the disease.
DR.. Folsom says at is not uncom-
mon for me to see patients in the out de-
partment, who come with diphtheria,
sitting side by side with patients affected
with other diseases, thus exposing many
persons to the danger OF infection during
the time they remain in the waiting-room
OF the hospital"
Some of the persons have ridden to the
hospital in crowded cars.
But mild cases are the chief source OF
the trouble. DR.. Prince says: at is
my constant experience to meet with
case after case Of undoubted diphtheria,
where there are patches Of membrane III
the throat, and yet the symptoms are SO
mild that the child is allowed to mingle
with the rest OF the family and go about
the streets. think there is no question
that such cases are the most prolific
scource OF the contagion."
Further, among the cases that often
fail to be recognized are those OF nasal
diphtheria. The membrane is out oil
sight, and for time, at least, the dis
ease is easily mistaken for cod. II
should be remembered that this, and al
the lighter forms of diphtheria may give
rise to the most malignant.
8. A case Of malignant diphtheria is
not seldom, mistaken for one OF mem.
branous Group, commonly regarded as
non-contagious. 1t is, therefore, neither
reported nor duly guarded against.
4. 1t is necessary that diphtherif
should be taken charge OF as contagious
disease by the board of health, with fu
powers and all adequate provisions, and
farther, that measures should be taker
for the better understanding Of the dis
ease by the people.
5. Diphtheria is a most facilitating
disease. One OF the chief dangers is deatf
by heart failure, and that, too, when the
patient seems to be in state of GONZALES
cence. From the first everything SHOULD
be done to keep up the strength by fooC
| and stimulants.

SOME serious charges have been pre-
ierred against Agent Vanderveer of the
Navajo Indians. He is charged with
having sent the Indian police off the
reservation, unaccomp panied by any white
man, to arrest Il merchant who was &C.
cuscd Of selling liquors to Indians. 1t is
alleged that the Indian police destroyed
nearly everything in the store except the
whisky, large quart tiles Of which they
carried sway with them, and, arresting
the merchant, started with him 70 the
reservation, demanding that he should
pay them money for his release, but were
met by 4ali-breed who induced them to
turn him loose. This may be all true,
aui ii may not" anyway, there is suit
pending in tho I'd district court,
brought by the merchant, whose name is
Hye, against Agent Eanderveer, for dam
ages in this connection, and it is safe to
presume that there ia some foundation for
the charges. Vanderveer, it seems, was
before The election last fall Democrat Of
the offensive stripe, but is now willing to
call himself and be called a Republican in
order to hold his office. Mr.. Vanderveer
might well be replaced with a better Re-
publican and better man.
