NO RECIPROCITY IN THE HOG.
Germany simply Accepts Our Revised
System OF Inspection.

CAPE MAY, n, j., September g.
Private Secretary Halford announces
that the negotiations which ended with
the withdrawal of the prohibition
against the importation of American
pork into Germany were concluded at
Saratoga. The conclusion was reached
while the President was at Sarotoga
by Gen. John w. Foster, representing
the United States Government, and
Count Won Mum, Charge d'Affairs, re-
presenting the German Government,
and was approved by the President.
The removal OF the pork restriction
has nothing to do with any question Of
reciprocity but based upon the eccept-
ance by the German Government Of the
inspection Of imported meats by the
Government under the law Of the last
Congress.

PARKEHsBURG, w. VA, September 5.
Notwithstanding the races were con-
tinued over from yesterday on account
OF heavy rains, II is estimated that TO-
600 people entered the gates this after
noon. The following is the result OF
the races:
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-07-26

depend chiefly upon proximity to bodies of
water. There are islands of the sea which
stand far away out in a wilderness of wa
ter, that are practically made deserts by
arldlty. The coast of California from Van
couver bay southwark to the extremity of
the Peninsula of California, clearly illus
trates the statement which has been made.
The great Pacific ocean beats solemn
rhythm against all of this coast. At the
north there is more than eighty inches of
rainfall annually, but the precipitation
gradually diminishes southwark until it
becomes less than ten inches. Notwith-
standing the broad stretch of the Pacific
opposite the peninsula of California, it is a
rocky desert, although some portions of it
are lifted into mountain regions. Thus
the peninsula, with the Pacific on
one side and the gulf on the other,
itself but a narrow stretch of land often
lifted into high mountains, is yet destitute
or water, and with r are exceptions is unin-
habited. Three-quarters of the earth's sur

OF which the clouds are formed. To add to
this another region of evaporation. in all
l,60O square miles in extent. would be to
increase evaporation to such a small ex-
tent that it never would be appreciated,
and the water thus added to the clouds
would drift away into the general %circula-
ton and be scattered over SO broad an area
as to make no impression upon the climate,
whether this small basin is to be land or
sea matters little to man; as desert of gulf
is alike valueless. The track of the South
ern Pacific lies diagonally across the old
gulf bottom, but if it fills up as it has done
once before at least. this track would have
to be taken up and relaid in a detour above
the water level.
Along the northwestern margin of the
basin there are a few springs and about
these ancient springs a few Indians had
their homes IN years gone by. These In
dams living in q region SO hot and dry
were wont to clothe themselves only for or
nament. so that on ordinary occasions they
were nearly naked. In elder days they
were accustomed to make pilgramages down
the desert to the delta where, i'll the swampy
ground, a wild luxuriance of grass and
weeds was found. From these plants grow
ing on the delta in rich profusion they
gathered great stores of food. These In
dams have many traditions of known floods
in the basin, some of which are c%uriously
woven into their mythology. 1t is thus
seen that the bursting of the water into the
desert is no new thing, but a phenomenon
which may be expected from time to time,
due to the ever shifting channel by which
the Colorado carries it's waters over the
desert.
The deltas of great rivers are everywhere
interesting subjects of study. The water

the head of the Gulf of Califorla il; SO its
southern extremity was in the tnl 'ritory of
the republic of Mexico. 1t was "a shallow
body of water. its greatest depth being less
than 300 feet, and as a salt sea it could not
remain long. The fierce furnacelof a tor
rid zone poured over it's surface blasts of
dry air that licked up the waters , With great
ing about 100 inches annually. Thus the
dry air would lower the lake n pre than
eight feet in a year. Under thes 3 condi-
tions it could not persist as an isol lted sea,
for with no supply of water from + %erennial
streams it WAS soon discharged into the
heavens and the bed of the sea beo anne dry
land.
This dry land was thus below the level of
the sea in it's deepest portions froI 4 two to
three hundred feet, for tina was IL 10 depth
of the old gulf. There is nowher . in the
world a more d~esolate desert than this old
gulf bottom. The winds sweep the .rid and
desolate land, piling the sand in du, ,es that
travel in sandstorms when the win dis blow
strong. Much of the bottom of the I'D lake
is destitute of sand, but a floor of p olished
gravel is found, over which the Il. ne dust
blows in the fierce winds which her Q rage,
polishing the gravels to such an exte at that
the CULTS bottom seems to be tloored with a
mosaic of gems.
The region is utterly t%reeless, and only a
few desert plants are found. These desert
plants are in the main without fl ,liage.
Where moisture ls 80 scarce they c annot
afford this element of life in such pro, 1igal-
ly as to pour 1t out from the surf ice of
leaves, 30 the stems of the plants must
perform the breathing function. In more
humid lands gray and brown stems su pport
a lu1uriance of green leaves, where, the
vital functions of the plant are carrie q on,
but here the stems of the plants must per-

the few plants of the desert present a leaf-

green. There is also but little animal life
to be seen. Now and then a wolf stravs

common and a species of lizard known ns

dried up. This may be the case at the
present time. We have not sufficient in
formation about the new channel to Judge
OF the amount of water which will be oar
ried into the basin.
The origin of the delta dam bv which the
little salt sea was cut of from the gulf is of
much interest. The Colorado river drains
a region OF about $50, 600 square miles: much
OF the region is a desert. The country thus
drained lies at a great altitude above the
sea, rising from four thousand feet up to
the SUBMITS or the mountains which stand
on lts ridge, some of which are fourteen
thousand feet high. This is the great can
yon land where the streams run in deep
gorges hundreds and thousands of feet
below the general level of the country.
Inc few rains that come here wash the
rocky lands clean of soil and sand and thus
the river is charged with red mud which
it pours into the Gulf of California. This
gulf was originally known as Vermilion sea,
30 named because its waters are discolored
by the floods of the Colorado, The delta
uatn Wnlch was built across the gulf is very
broad. In some places its surface ia GOV
