IRRIGATION RESULTS.
snail Farms and Big Business for
Prosperous Cities and
Railroads.

1t is to be noted that in those districts
of the state in which no irrigation is prac-
ticed and where tho lands are devoted to
wheat and barley almost exclusively, little
or no progress has been made in the past
ten or twelve years. Dry farming has
tended to decrease the number of farmers
and to enlarge the area of farms through
the absorption of small farms by the
larger ones. The substitution of machin-
cry for hand labor has helped to bring
about this unfortunate condition of things.
Small farming for wheat has become I'M
profitable, and the tendency of wheat
growing is still to enlarge rather than to
decrease the area of ranch properties. On
the other hand, where irrigation has been
introduced upon plains formerly devoted
exclusively to the production of grain, o
remarkable improvement has been
brought about, as in the southern part of
the San Joaquin valley. There the con-
struction of irrigation canals and the bor
ing of artesian wells has made wonderful
changes for the better in population and
wealth. The irrigated districts are peo-
Piled by small farmers and fruit growers,
whose prosperity has built up large towns
and given vastly increased traffic to rail-
roads. Southern California, likewise,
presents marvellous proofs of the great
advantages of irrigation over dependence
upon rainfall. Similar examples of pros
perity and progress through irrigation
are to be found in scattered localities of
northern California and numerous other
localities, particularly in the foothills on
the eastern border of the Sacramento val
ley.-The Californian.

One warm afternoon recently we were
wheeling along the western outskirts of the
city. Overheated and fatigued. we steered
our course toward large common in which
were some shady trees which promised a
cool resting place. On riding up we We're
surprised to see middle aged and rather
portly gentleman running furiously across
the common in pursuit of an urchin who
was making the pace. The gentleman's
wheel lay by the roadside in position
which evidenced sudden and complete de-
sertion, and few yards away was valise.
The boy escaped and was successful in hid
ing himself securely in an old building.
The baffled pursuer returned to his prop
erty by the wayside, as always happens in
such cases, evidently in much disturbed
frame of mind, gathered himself together
generally and rode off. AS soon as he was
at a safe distance the boy came forth, his
dirty face spread into an elaborate grin,
and rejoined his companions. We asked
him forparticulars of the affair. What had
he done to the gentleman?
ooh, nuthin," he said Indignantly as he
caught his breath. II jest soaked him. one
on de ear wild a hunk of watermelon. -

Another County Heard from at Hast

The nomination of Col. Thos. Smith,
of Virginia, to he chief justice of New
Mexico, has been confirmed by the sem
nto, and he will assume the duties of his
Office at once. Justice Smith was U. $.
district attorney for New Mexico during
Mr.. Cleveland's former administration,
and made fairly good official; but he
took occasion to pack up his carpet-bag
and leave the territory very soon after
The expiration of his term of office, and
has not lived here since. Admitting that
Justice Smith will mako good chief
justice, nevertheless, his appointment is
in violation Of the home rule plank of
the Chicago platform, and q gross in
justice to New Mexico. This territory
had applicants for the Office fully as
capable of discharging the duties as
Justice Smith, and the act of President
Cleveland in passing them by, and send
ing us judge with carpot-bag, is, by
implication, saying that we have no man
qualified for the place.-Roswell Record.

ing. Mr.. Lang testified that the bank

ued, and the jeweler placed them at

scented money which Lang and Scotield
had out OF the bank to purchase stock

bishop Ireland, III responding to the
sentiment THE Hierarchy OF the
United States" at the banquet follow
ing the ceremonies yesterday of the
inveStiture of Archbishop Hennessey,
said. in the course of his remarks, tn at
he was glad that the storms had been
succeeded by an era OF mildness, charity
and mercy. This was taken as a refer
ence to the advent of Satoili, and the
cheering was terrific.
The archbishop drew picture of the,
church quarter of a century hence,
and saw it an aggressive. well-equipped
hierarchy, established in the confidence
of the American people.
Mgr. SatOlli, in a response In Latin,
SAID that the church proposed no coer-
cion, but liberality; not the subversion
Of popular government, but allegiance
TO its constitution. within whose lines it
would seek the representation of the
faith in America. He referred to the
pope's warm friendship for this govern
ment, and extended greetings on his be-
half
