Nearly half the lands of the United
States, exclusive of Alaska, are arid in
the sense that the rainfall is insufficient
to fertiiize the crops from year to year.
Over three-tifths of our remaining and
unoccupied lands require in greater or
less degree the artificial application of
water to the soil to make it capable of sup
porting any considerable population. OF
these reclaimable arid and semi-arid lands
Montana contains 30,oooo00; Wyoming
lo,0oo. 900; Idaho, 100000; California,
$500, 900: Eastern Oregon aud Washing
ton, II. o00, 900 acres. The upper region of
the Snake river surveys have shown that
water can be stored to an amount of more
than 100000 cubic feet, sufficient
TO redeem 100000 acres. and the
waters of the Snake with its tribu-
tarics can be ultimately made to
irrigate from 100000 to 100000 acres.
Some lands can be reclaimed at a cost of
two or three dollars an acre; others ten or
twelve. The census returns show that the
average first cost of water right in Wyom-
ing is $3.50 per acre, and the average an
nuai cost of water Is $I.A per acre. The
great area of arid and semi-arid region be-
tween the 9th degree of west longitude
and the Pacific ocean, east and west, and
between the northern boundary line and
the Gulf of Mexico. near the mouth of the
Rio Grande, is capable OF sustaining, by
means of irrigation, at least l00,0o0,0oo of
persons, while without irrigation it will
barely support a population of ten mill
ions.

CHARTER REVISION.

At meeting OF the Chamber of Com
merce last evening Mr.. Il. o. Graves and
DR.. Ramsey, citizens whose opinions are
entitled to consideration, urged radical
revision of the city charter. They favor
the abolishment Of boards and of depart
mcnts and recommend system in which
The authority shall be centralized.
We believe that these gentlemen are
mistaken. The fifteen men who made the
charter were most wisely chosen. They
were men of exceptional intelligence and
responsibility. They gave the subject of
municipal government careful study.
investigated and compared the different
nystems in operation in other cities of the
United States and 1t was their united
Judgment, as we remember, without sim
gle dissenting voice, that government
something like that which is embodied
In the charter, yields better results than
more centralized system. The charter
as provided by the commission has been
found in some respects Imperfect, but its
faults are certainly not more serious than
those which nigh. be expected in the first
year OF any new system. To remedy them
would be very simple matter, and COM
mittee il nov engaged in formulating a
scheme for their correction.
Wherein the charter has not worked
well is due chiefly to the misconceptions
Of those whose business il has been to adj
minister Il II is unquestionably true that
we have run too much to depart
mcnts and that they have been
too costly, but 1t is not neces-
sary TO wipe out the charter to bring
the practices of the government to bet
ter habit. There is nothing in the
charter itself to hinder prac-
tical consultation of the street de-
partment, the water department,
the sewer department and half dozen
others under the immediate direction of
the board of public works. 1t was perhaps
. mistake in the beginning to organize
these several departments each on an
independent plan. but it was
natural mistake and one for which
nobody In particular was to blame;
and now that it is evident that
money can be saved and the general adj
ministration Of city affairs benefited by
consolidation, there is no reason why it
should not be promptly brought about.
The charter does not hinder il.
We believe that with few amendments
the charter can be made in practice as
thorough and admirable as 1t is in theory.
The experience of the past year has been
very valuable in that 1t furnishes informa-
fion which was lacking at the be-
ginning. Another year, we believe,
will witness great advancement in
methods of administration and win DEM
onstrate that as whole the charter pro-
vides wise system of local government.

England's policy of having fortified naval
stations in the West Indies and on the
Pacific coast. The British govern
ment has two splendid fortified coal
ing stations at Jamaica and St
Lucia, in the West Indies, and these
are to be connected with the fortified inn
perial stations at Bermuda and Halifax by
Geographic cables, and strengthened be-
yond any prospect of capture. All the
English troops formerly at Nassau have
been transferred to Jamaica, and those at
Barbadoes to st. Lucia, and the British
| fleet in the West Indies is to be strength
ened for the future. These four stations
| In the West Indies and the North Atlantic
furnish secondary bases from which war
| could be waged on the United States, for
with these four great stations England
can re-coal all her great ironclads or make
any one Of the stations the rendezvous
| and base for hostile military and naval
expedition.
England furnishes her vessels now with
excellent coal at these stations, while our
war vessels have to put up with very poor
coal that produces little steam. What our
government needs is coaling station at
the Bay OF SANTANA or the island of st.
Thomas. From st. Lucia a British feet is
within easy reach of Venezuela and
Guiana; while at Jamaica England holds
commanding position in reference to
the approaches to the isthmus canal.
This system of British naval concentra-
ton that is made possible by this line of
four great connected naval stations from
Halifax to the West Indies, is an admirable
illustration of England's capacity to make
the most of her marine strength. LII war
broke out tomorrow England in less than
80 days could threaten our North Atlantic
coast from Halifax; our South Atlantic
from Bermudas, and our Gulf states from
Jamaica and st. Lucia. A military and
naval expedition from any one of these
points could strike our coast easily in 43
hours of rapid steaming.
For offensive or defensive purposes
England's military preparations in Amer
can waters are about perfect. And this
policy of making the most of her marine
strength is maintained by England all
over the globe. In the English channel
she holds the Jersey Isles; her flag flies at
Gibraltar, at Minorca and Majorca, Malta
and Cyprus in the Mediterranean; at Suez,
and at Alden at the mouth of the Red Sea;
at Sierra Leone. st. Helena. Ascension.
Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, at the
mouth of the Persian Gulf, at Kurr-
achee, at Bombay. Ceylon, Singa-
pore, Hongkong and Fiji. Scratch
an Englishman in any quarter. of
the globe and the next morning there is an
English gunboat in the harbor. Step on
the most remote section of the tail of the
British hon and the growl of her guns
echoes round the world. And if we are to
be maritime power; people with a great
sea commerce for the future, we shall be
Obliged to initiate England's common
sense to this extent, viz: We shall have
to build a feet strong enough to defend
our commerce and the Nicaragua canal !;
secure fortified coallng stations to supply
the West Indies and Pacific feet, and
finally fortify our harbors against naval
attack
