or even slightly brackish water fla por-
ton of the water of the Colorado, which at
times amounts to 10000 cubic second feet
at Yuma, can be diverted into the desert
so as to form permanent river emptying
mo a lake at Salton, it needs no demon
stration to prove that irrigation on some
scale may be introduced upon the sand
waste, and that rain in some quantity will
result from evaporation. The whole OF the
desert may not be reclaimed, and the pre-
cipitation may not be heavy But some
thing will be accomplished, and that some
thing will be clear gain.
1t has been demonstrated in this State that
sand tracts will grow something if they are
literally supplied with water. Any person
who doubts this proposition can have their
doubts removed by visit TO locations in
MERGED County. But water is essential.
Without water vegetation is an iInpossi-
billy. II now the providential overflow OF
the Colorado this year should lead to the
creation Of permanent lake near Salton,
similar to the lake which the French pro-
pose to create in the Sahara. it would be
difficult to reckon up the probable conse-
quences Of the change. Il would certainly
be Of benefit to California.

STILL PROTESTING.
A Violent "Kick" at the Post.
Street Assessment.

The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors met yesterday, and were in
session almost the entire day. About fifty
Post-street professors were on hand and
completely filed the committee rooms and
lobby. The Commissioners and their ap-
praisers were also present, and the con-
troversy at times grew very acrimonious
and personal, Chairman Taber having all be
could do to Dl maintain order.
Mr. Gum. a real estate dealer, maintained
that the assessments were far too high Ex-
perts Mosgroye and Wooley, for the COM
mission, held that they were Just and
equitable
The committee finally agreed to set next
Wednesday at o'clOcK as the time TO
definitely determine what shall be done in
the matter. A number of leading real estate
men in the city will be invited to attend the
meeting and give their views on the condi-
ton Of property in the assessed district.
Toward the enc of the discussion the
debate grew rorrid. Attorney dunno, who
appeared for the Commission, insisted that
anyone who said the assessment was be-
gotten in fraud. spoke like blackguard."
Keep coui," were the last words used
by Supervisor Taber, as the professors
marched out, and resumed their excited
discussions in the lobby and corridors.

THE NEW LAKE.

Little by little the public are accommodating
information about the great event of the
day-the flooding of the Colorado Desert
from an overflow from the Colorado River.
Although the water in the river is falling,
As usual at this season of the year, the water
in the Salton Lake is rising in spite of the
daily loss by evaporation, which proves that
The supply has not been checked. And,
although the water of the river at Ago
dones, where the great crevasse is situated,
is brackiSh, aud even salt Oh the food tide,
fresh water has been found in the lake,
which indicates that the river has broken
through its western bank at points above
Algodones. and found its way to holes
which connect with the lake. All the indi-
cations point to more general inundation
Of the desert than has been suspected, and
TO a more copious flow than has been re-
ported. a few days ago the deep spots in
the Salton Lake were said to be only two
feet in depth; now it is reported that places
are found with over two fathoms of water.
All these indications are favorable for the
permanency of the new lake.
Still 1t must not be forgotten that If the
operations of nature are unaided by man.
the flow from the river must cease some
day when its dimensions are reduced by the
drying up of its affiuents. Then the loss of
water i'll the desert lake would cease to be
Offset by supply from its source. Some
one, probably without scientific instrn-
ments. has figured the daily evaporation of
the lake water AT half an inch This may
be an exaggeration, but the loss must be con-
siderable. The Great Salt Lake, as its
beach shows, once reached points 1000 feet
above its present level. In the Colorado
Desert there Is no rain; the mercury fire.
guently rises to 1150 in the shade; evapora-
ton must be very rapid. Unless measures
p are taken to maintain. the flow of water
from the Colorado the lake of 1891 may
share the fate Of the lakes of 1884, 1861 and
1862.
The CALL observes that some engineers
and railroad people hold that this would be
ablessing. They do not believe that per-
manent lake in the desert would be benefit.
They argue that many OF the deserts of the
world are in close proximity to bodies of
water, and they do NOT regard it as certain
that permanent lake at Salton would
either modify the climate Of the desert or
render its wastes susceptible of cultivation.
These opinions appear to rest on imperfect
Information. Among the seas which are

Were 1t in some locations it would have
been turned to account before this. Il will
hardly be asserted that extensive eyapora-

out some precipitation of moisture from the
clouds; nor viii any person of authority

PACIFIC COAST PRoDucrs.

The columns of Thursdays CALL con-
corning the resources and products of the
Pacific Coast " i'll attract attention not I'M
mixed with surprise. The first thought of
readers will be that the country under con-
siderati0n was practically unknown forty
years ago. The seven States and Terri
tories which compose the group known as
the Pacific Coast States had in 1850 but
ISL, GA acres of improved land; in 1850 the
area had extended to Il, SS6 500 acres. These
States constitute the mineral belt of the
United States, but the wheat crop for the
five years from 1855 TO 1889 inclusive was
nearly equal to the total value of the prod
net of gold and silver for the same period.
The exact figures are S2l3, 536 621 for gold
and silver to S2l1, 344, $50 for wheat. Forty
years ago the people of the United States
had but vague idea Of the value of the re-
gion which now shows sucn grand results.
California, which is associated in the East
ern mind with its production of gold, now
gives the world more than two dollars in
wheat 10 one in gold and silver. The fruit
product in 1889 was greater than gold and
silver combined. The figures given are !:
Wheat S3O,6i6 SS4; gold and silver,
4,034. 313; fruit, SIG, 100000 The value OF
cattle and sheep slaughtered in the same
year was S32,00000 California also ranks
second as a wool-producing State, Texas
being the first and Oregon the third. Texas
is credited with 4, 752 $40 sheep, California
with 4,035, 120 the number for Oregon not
being given. Alaska seems to be worth
having. Tie exports of that Territory dur
ing the year 1889 were valued at 50, $40 100
Of which salmon was S.. So, 900, fur-seal
! S2,000,000 and gold bullion and dust about
$500 1900. The products included in this
report are of land and water. The value of
our manufactured products will be given
later on. We know from other sources
that the manufactured products of this city
rise above the one hundred million dollar
mark in value. With such avenues to
wealth open the complaint of hard times
seems somewhat unreasonable.

That there was no effort made to consult
