THE GROWTH OF IRRIGATION.
Millions of Money Invested in Reclaiming
Now Worthless Land.

Millions of Money Invested in Reclaiming
Now Worthless Land.
Ohio Valley Manufactured
The large returns secured by irrigating in
the arid regions of the West have caused
immense sums to be invested in irrigating
canals and dams. Wyoming has some of
the largest plants in the country, while
those of Colorado, Utah, Kansas and New
Mexico represent millions of invested cap-
ital, which supply the water to successfully
reclaim millions of otherwise worthless
land
1t is shown by late census bulletin that
of the 124, 808 farms enumerated in the arid
region in June, 1890, AZ per cent contained
land on which crops had been raised in 1889
by irrigation, the entire area of land irri-
gated being 1854, ,416 acres, &c per cent of
the area of farms enumerated, and about
one-half of per cent of the total area of the
arid region.
The latest undertaking is the building of
an international dam across the Rio Grande
at Ell Paso, which will supply water for ir-
rigation in both Mexico and New Mexico.
The company is capitalized at $1,000 900.
The dam will be built of limestone, and will
be $50 feet long and 10 feet high. Colonel
Adson Mills, of the United States Corps of
Engineers, estimates the cost of the dam at
$500, ,000 Its construction will create a
lake 15 miles long and miles wide. Two
canals, one on the United States side and
the other on the Mexican side, will be cut
through solid rock, which will convey a
body of water 20 feet wide and 10 feet Deep

did not have contingent of horn-blowers, a
bonfire or q drum corps to keep the inhabi-
tsnts alive to the fact that the most e1cit-
ing Presidential election had been decided.
A Hopeless Search for Peace.
The philosopher in search of Q peaceful
spot would have had harder hunt than
Diogenes for an honest man. One would
have thought that mid-stream in the ALLIE
gheny would have been comparatively
calm, but at o'clock there was a band OF q
dozen youths with COW bells, horns and a
bass drum in the center of the Sixth
street bridge, while three cold-defying
mariners in q row-boat sent up discordant
blasts from the water below. To heighten
the confusion and clamor when the Demo-
cratic victory became apparent number of
marching clubs in more or less serried array
with bands paraded the streets. At IL
o'clock the Fifth avenue sea of sightseers
reached high tide probably.
Looking down the hill from Cherry
alley the avenue seemed to be packed abso-
lutely solid as far as Liberty street. From
this majestic concourse-for in such num-
bers a crowd takes on majesty-arose such
an ear-splitting, nerve-destroying uproar
as surely never Pittsburg heard
before. Not only men but
thousands of women were there,
and a tidy sprinkling of children. The

The storm burst over the city as soon as
supper was cleared away. Dark clouds of
humanity began to roll up from all sides,
an omincus murmur deepened speedily into
q tremendous roar, the deafening din Of the
tin horns gathered volume every minute,
until before 8 o'clock the streets down
town were hidden by dense masses of
eager, bowling partisans, from whose lungs
and mechanical organs rose grand chorus
of cheers and blasts of unearthly music.
Thus was it for hours. Pittsburgers had to
bark back for parallel to the three days
tumult in 1876. when the nations choice
hung in the balance and the cause for ex-
citement was immeasurably greater than
last night.
The magnets for the greatest crowds were,
of course, the newspaper Offices, and the
most powerful attraction of all was the big
calcium light bulletin of THE DISPATCH.
Upon white curtain hung from the second
story of Solomon & Ruben's store the re-
turns were flashed every few seconds across

AT THE THEATERS.

Large Crowds Attend the Amusement Re-
sorts and Enjoy the Shows and Hear the
Election Returns-It " as a Relief From
the Streets.
The deafening uproar on the streets, made
horrible by the tin orn, the COW bell and
other playful implements of distress, did
not disturb the sweet serenity of the city
theaters and every amusement place in
Pittsburg was literally crowded with peo-
pie who were content to applaud the pleas
ing election news from comfortable seats
after they had wearied of applauding the
entertaining actors.
The Opera House was crowded to the
street The Duquesne was filled almost to
overfowing. Standing room was at .
premium at the Alvin and the Bijou was

crowd seemed to roll in waves and then
q urge back again. The sensation of riding
in one of those cars through the crowds was
very odd. So great was the pressure of the
mob as it was squeezed back that the car
seemed actually to be lifted off the tracks.
About o'clock the journey from Market
street to Smithfeld street in Fifth avenue
car consumed exactly IA minutes-and
it was apparently hopelessly stalled
three times in the last half of the voyage
The police worked like Troians to keep the
people from being thrown under the car
wheels; and as far as could be learned in
that section of'the city no serious accidents
occurred
But, though the mightiest mobs were con-
gregated on Smithfeld street and Fifth ave.
nue., and the blockade of the way from
Wood street to Market was as complete as
in the other direction, there was not a street
nor an alley in either OF the two cities that

MANY BEeoARs IN MALTA.
The Natives Make . Regular Business OF
It and Arc Very Successful

Chicago Tribune.1
Beggars swarm so in Malta that, accord
ing to the Rev. j. E Hard's sketch of NAL
tese life, the only way to avoid being pes
tered by them is to put out the hollow OF
your hand and anticipate them with their
own whining "Give me something" ''Me
plenty poor man." "Me very large family. !"
Some OF these beggars are supposed to have
acquired good deal of money, and it is
said that the priests order people to live by
begging for a while as penance. On the
other hand, with those who will work tits
hard to do business owing to their reluc-
tance to name price for their services.
The answer is: "What you like, which
tempts the stranger to reply that he would
like to give nothing at all
The poorer Maltese have, it seems, ready
wit An English officer, failing to make
Maltese understand what he meant, called
the poor man 'ta fool" Understanding this
much, the man, who had travelled about
good deal, though he did not understand
English. h..replied by asking: "Do you speak
Maltese?" "No." "Do you speak Arabic?"
"No." "Do you speak Greek?" "No."
''Do you speak Italian?" "No." ''Then,
If be one fool, you be four fools!"
In illustration of curious sort of dis
eliminating roguery which appears to be
characteristic of the Maltese dealers. Mr..
Hardy tells story of a naval friend who
stopped one Christmas time in the great
market in Valetta before the stall of ia
Joe" with whom he had had many dealings
The color of one of his turkeys, all trussed
and ready for the spit, attracted him. The
breast OF the victim was of blush purple,
the legs were scraggy and also discolored,
but otherwise the bird seemed to have been
we'll fed. Pointing to it he asked: 'How
much?" Joe fell back, and, beckoning him
to him, explained matters thus: "Dat not
in mysterious but impressive whisper, he
added: HE die"
