What Was Done by the Los Angeles Con-
ventiOD.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 15.-At the
irrigation convention the platform COM
mittee reported, the report being read
by ex-Gov. Lionel Sheldon 1t is in
part as follows:
Scenes enacted recently in the Cherokee strip
are reminder that the pressure of surplus
population still seeks an outlet in the west and
that settlement in that portion Of the public
domain where the rainfall is sufficient to sup.
port agriculture has reached its limit
The unsettled land now belonging to the
United States is mostly arid or semi-arid. We
confidently predict that these arid lands are
destined to become the seat of the highest civil
izaiior and the greatest average prosperity yet
developed on this continent The development
Of these lands can only be successfully attained
by national legislation.
The laws now governing waters and lands in
q number o: the states and territories are in.
adequate and dangerous We declare water in
natural channels and beds is not private prop
erty and that it can neither DE bought nor sold
We claim that the streams rising in one
state and flowing by natural courses through
one or more other states must be conserved
and eQuitablT divided under federal author
ity. We indorse the policy Of forest and
storage reservations, covering mountain
watersheds. 1t is an act of simple justice for
the government to devote portion OF the
money received for lands fit for agriculture
without irrigation to the scientific investiga
ton Of means for the reclamation of lands, and
We earnestly urge speedy action By congress in
this direction.
In regard TO arid lands we recommend that
a national executive committee composed of
five competent men from each state and terri
tory in the arid and semi.arid regions
shall al once enter upon careful
Investigation Of conditions existing in each of
their states and territories, and then formula te
plans locking to national policy, and upon
these reports declaratigus OF the people Of the
western states may be based

THE YACHT RACE.
The Third Trial and the Cup Won by the
Vigilant.

NlE1lant.
New YORK. Oct. 1.-THE Eigilant
defeated the Valkyrie for third time
Yesterday. after a hard battle. A few
seconds before the starting gun was
iired both boats were flying for the
line, close hauled by the starboard
tack, the American boat a little in the
lead with the Englishman off the
weather quarter.
1t was a close call and for time it
looked as though the Vigilant would
be over first and handicap the Valkyrie
by half a minute. Skipper Hanson was
a little too anxious, however, and had
to pay the penalty for this by being
forced over toward the eastern end of
the line. The result was a loss to the
American boat. for she had to huff in
order to weather the way.
The race was an exciting one from
start to finish and at one time the
Vigilant seemed doomed to defeat.
The Englishman was leading by sew
eral lengths, when a little split APP
peared or the inner reach of the cut
ter's spinnaker. Larger and larger the
rent seemed to grow, and when it
had spread ten feet out, Capt Gran
field was forced to take it in. In two
minutes another spinnaker of light
Irish linen was taken and quickly run
up.
1t was all in vain, however, for the
wind was blowing nearly half gale
and this light canvas was soon torn
into shreds. This crushed forever the
hopes of an Englis,- victory for one brief
day, for although a balloon jib top-sail
was hoisted instead of spinnaker, the
Valkyrie fell astern and crossed the
line 500 Yards behind the Xipilant

AUSTIN LETTER.
AUSTIN, Tex March p, '93.

AUSTIN, Tex March -. '93.
Special Correspondence TO the LIGHT.
This land office matter Is a most unfor-
tunate affair in more ways than one, but
there is no reason why The minor parties
ShOnld be made to suffer for that which
their SuperiOrS did. The testimony that
is i'm the hands Of the committee Is said to
be OF most damaging nature to many
men high in the political and legal field.
As 10 whether THIS is so time alone can
tell. But the facts. as they nov stand,
certainly place the Hogg administration
in very bad light. The governor eau saw
he knew nothing about it if he cares
To. \ IL he does say that il >hOwS that he
is not competent for the position of gov
ernOr in as much as he is not giving Sutfi-
cient attention TO those who are working
under him. If he says he knew nothing
about this matter he shows an ignorance
that is appalling on subject that has
been well known in Austin for several
months, in fact since last fall Ever
thing considered, it would look very
much like Gov. HOgg was in need of some
assistance because having placed him
self on record as man in search
OF just such things as this he should not
have let the land Office matter pass That
zeal that our distinguished governor has
exhibited in accusing federal courts and
receiverShiDS of fraud could be well ap-
piled just at present to the management
of domestic troubles around his own gov
ernmental tircSide. Commissioner Nc
Gaughey now says that Governor Hogg
did not advise him in ANYTHING he did
about these school lands. If that be the
case why was Commissioner McGaughey
credited with saying that Gov HOgg
was aware OF his actions" He is credited
with saying this by gentlemen who would
have no occasion to lie about it. If there
is nothing OF damaging evidence to any
body in this testimony, that is in the
hands of the committee, why Is 1t that
there is being such fight made to keep il
from being published? II there is nothing
under the chip. why has Commissioner
McGaughey spent two days in the House
of Representatives, whispering around
among the friends of the admin
iStration? Why have number
of Legislators been seen to have
tete- a tete with the Governor? If matters
were not all cut and dried about who
should be on the committee to pass upon
he work OF the joint committee, why did
Speaker Cochran announce so readily his
committee on this matter? Your CORES
pendent would advance these questions
for the mental exercise of your readers,
II is not his place nor inclination to pass
in judgment upon this case. He simply
states facts and just at present facts"
are things that no body around the gov
ernmental departments seem to want adj
vanced. A. G.. SHOOT.

Women Renew Their Youth,

1t is an extraordinary but incontesta-
BILE fact that some women at the age
when most people die undergo a sort of
natural process of regeneration - the
hair and teeth grow again, the wrinkles
disappear from the skin, and sight and
hearing reacquire their former sharp
ness a Marquise de Marabeau is an
example of this rare and remarkable
phenomenon. She died at the age of
eighty-six, but a few years before her
death she became in appearance quite
young again. The same change hap
pened to nun of the name of Mar
guerite Verdur, who at the age of sixty
two lost her wrinkles, regained her sight
and grew several new teeth. When she
died, ten years later, her appearance was
almost that of young girl.-St. Louis

Most people are seemingly anxious to
secure good fishing to themselves, which
is very natural, and will expend large
sum i'll order to stock waters for private
use. Naturally they select waters which
are so situated that they can supervise
them, and therefore these waters are
generally confined or restricted. 1t is
reasonable to consider waters which are
so situated that the movements of the
trout are hindered, to be III no sense su-
pcriOr to artificial ponds, and will in time
surely run out.
My idea is that general waters should
always be selected for continuous stock
ing. First find a good stream and test
its qualities, and afterward it should be
seasonably replenished. A great deal of
money is annually squandered in start
ing artificial ponds and confined streams,
which, if properly used, would have
given excellent returns If you have
money to spend on fish culture do not
waste it, but invest in proper stock
ing of a good public stream, and keep
it up. You will in time find that
you are not obliged to pay out large
sums in railroad fare, and consequent
board at hotels in distant parts, if you
are judicious and persistent in stocking
home streams.-American Angler
