IRRIGATION PREJUDICE.
The Value of Stored Water not yet
Appreciated.

y0e
Appreciated.
It is hard to account for the antipathy
great many people have against irriga-
ton. Nearly all the settlers of this
country come from countries with
abundant summer rainfall. Yet, why
they should be prejudiced against the
use of water artifcially applied is not
clear. Yet it is true. Many, it seems,
would rather raise half or quarter crops
in sub-arid regions, than to settle in
arid regions with irrigating water, and
grow full crops every year. 1t is true
that the general aspect of an arid re-
gion is not pleasant to the view of one
whose former life has been spent in the
mid summer greenery Of a country hav-
ing abundant summer rainfall: Yet,
this does not seem to be the reason for
the antipathy of many to growing crops
by irrigation. If these men are asked
why they feel so about it, they can give
no reasonable answer. This will be
changed in a very few years, and the
feeling will be exactly reversed. The
farmes will seek irrigated land, and
shun that with summer rainfall.
In countries dependent upon the nat
ural rain fall, such rain may, and at
times does fail entirety. In all such
countries all the cereal crops, and in
cluding hay, may be partial or total
loss from rains in harvest time. And
again, countries with summer climates
having sufficient rains for general crops,
and with rich SOIL. can never be as
healthy as dry countries, with only the
cultivated ground watered. The arid
country with water, can grow many
most valuable crops and fruits un-
suited to rainy climates. For instance;
the degrees of heat and cold are nearly
exactly the same in Louisiana, and the
larger portion of California, and while
California can produce all the crops and
fruits that Louisiana can, and, in greater
proportion, not to mention other valu-
able crops that the Golden State pro-
duces, that Louisiana can not produce
at all.
So strong is the prejudice against irri-
cation that on thousands of farms and
orchards, streams of water are allowed
to run to waste, that might be made
produce gold, if turned into the fields,
orchards and gardens. Hundreds Of
farms in California have water enough
on them going to waste every day, that
if rightly applied, would give fresh vege-
tables and small fruits enough to supply
a whole neighborhood. There is scarcely
an acre Of land in California, Nevada or
Oregon, but what irrigation could
double the yearly crop value Of.

FROM NEWPORT,

The sealing schooners Oscar and Haiti.
are off Yaquina hunting seals. They hav
been out two weeks from Victoria, anG
have not found seals very plentiful so far.
The hunter, puller and steerer of one o
| the schooners took two guns, eight days
provisions and one of the boats and deserted

cove, ten miles above Cape Foulweather.
On Monday, Captain Gault sent seven men
ashore to look for the boat and the men
He cannot well lose the boat as he needs it
constantly. Thus far neither the boat nor
the men have been seen. Tuesday Captain
Gault and five men took boat along the
coast i'll search of the three missing men
and their boat and while off the mouth OF
the Siletz river they thought they sighte d
the boat lying in a cove on shore. In at.
tempting to effect landing their boat was
capsized and the captain and four of his
men were drowned. The remaining sur
vivor stayed with the boat and after drift
ing about hours, was picked up by the
crew of one of the schooners at 10 o'clock
at night, thoroughly chilled and nearly ex-
hausted. The bodies of the drowned
sailors have not yet been recovered.
Nearly all the government force of men
are now at work on the south jetty, and
rock is going in with rush. Assistant
Engineer Ricksecker has secured his new
naptha launch. No more work will be
done on the north jetty for about five or
six weeks, until the tides will allow more

"Certain bondholders; residents of Pennsvl:

OF the Oregon Pacific railroad, asking that
they be declared trustees and not owners Of
the road. Should the action delay the ex:
tension of the road into and through East:
ern Oregon it is to be regretted, but it is
not believed it will do so. The suit implies
a lack of faith in the president of the com:

the defendants have full faith in their
honesty and integrity"

Correspondence Of the TIIEs.
Ripplings by Riverside.

MR. EDIToR.--Farmers have generally
avaiied themselves of the propitious seasons
and we are glad to report farm work in good
shape. Most every one has an eye to plenty
of bread, peas, potatoes, etc. Sorghum is
receiving more than ordinary attention.
The fellow that don't make his farm self
supporting now, had better sell out and
make room for somo one who will.
One of the most pitiable looking sights
imaginable is a farmer going from house to
house begging the merchant to take lien on
his crop, or mortgage on all ho has, to Sc.
cure himself in advancing the farmer (exouse
me, not farmer, only planter) tho bread
and meat he should make in abundance ON
his own farm
This years experience will be o lasting
lesson for great many and will prove q
blessing in disguise to those who are having
the bitter pills to swallow. You would be
surprised to know how chesply some people
can live when necessity compels them.
In my humble judgment, The first thing
the farmer should do is to stop his washes,
terrace his lands and reclaim his worn out
soils. David Dickson said it would not pay
to work poor land. lie never told a bigger
truth. 1t is the folly CT follies to allow the
rich top soil to wash off. with every rain that
comes, into the beds Of creeks and rivers.
Now, let me tell you one of the country's
greatest needs 1t is education for the mass
es. We want better country schools, and
how arc we to get them? More money is the
next thing, and where is it to come from
Gov. Tillman's ideas we're clear on the school
question. "Fewer schools and better ones"
Miss Katie Noorhead has a very interest
lpg school at Mt Tabor, and the little bright
eyes are getting along nicely in their studies.

All this grows out of Judge wallace's 8 con-
strung the law removing Supervisors of
Registration, contrary to Gov. Tillman's s
construction. If Judge Wallace is "an
arrogant usurper, the Judge Jsffsriss of
South Carolna," by parity of reasoning, all
the Judges upon the Supreme and Circuit
benches of the State are arrogant usurpers,
for they fully endorse Judge Wallace's de-
cision. 1t has got to . pretty pass, when
oil the Judges Of tho State are denounced
for constituting law contrary to the wish or
opinion Of Governor, who is in no sense, a

before the carrier takes them from the of

1t is likely that one or two names are over

and the carrier. who knows when o name Is
