Upon taking the chair, Colonel Cham

mand now seems to be certain.
Our mesa farmers for the most part
will fare poorly this year. Land that il
without irrigation and destitute of nat
ural moisture cannot be counted upon
for even ordinary crops in a dry year.
The wet lands. OF which we have con-
siderable area in this county, will pay
we'll this season. These will be devoted
to the raising Of vegetables and alfalfa,
and can be depended UPON for large
crops. The alfalfa farmers in the moist
lands will have bonanza season. 1t is
principally the husbandmsn on the
table lands, that depend for large crops
on plenty OF rain, who will suffer; but
the farmers whose lands have the bene-
fit of irrigation will raise abundant
crops and receive good prices for their
products. 1t ia curious fact that the
cultivatorS of this county have on
the average done better in years
of partial drouth than they havs in
years OF ample rainfall. What they
raised, in years when the rains have
made crops abundant everywhere, sold
at such low prices that there was very
little left when they came to draw q
balance sheet. Nor have the grain
farmers usually been we'll compensated
in years of plenty. Indeed sometimes
they would have been better off, had
their crop failed entirely. 1t was said,
for instance, last year that the more
grain farmer had raised, the pooret he
was off. 30 low had the price fallen.
Whilst year of drouth has its compen-
sations, it also has its instructive ben eft
in srousing the people to the advantage
of irrigation. II the experience OF this
season will only result. as it should, in
increasing our irrigsting bitches and
developing the inexhszstibls sources Of
water supply available to US, 1t will be q
blessing In disguise to those farmers
who depend alone on the rainfall for
good crops.

STEALING RAILROAD TRAINS.

The contingent OF the Coxey army
that stole train on the Northern Pa
cific railroad few days ago and were
arrested in their mad fight by detsch-
ment OF United States soldiers, have got
themselves into q bad box. That road
is in the hands of receivers appointed by
the United States court, and therefore
their offense is not only larceny but con-
tempt of the tribunal in whose custody
the road now is.
No excuse whatever can be found for
this or any other violation of the law,
but If precedent for their infraction of
the law were sought by the unemployed
derelicts, they would not have to look
beyond the railroad companies them
selves for one. 1t is a most common
thing for such companies to disregard
and override the laws made for their
guidance and government. The best
legal talent in the country is employed
at an immense cost in the way of sala-
ries to get around the laws, snd they
usually succeed.
The land laws, go far as they relate to
railroads, are of no more effect than so
much waste paper. So the interstate
commerce law is administered to suit
the railroad companies. AS to our board
of railroad commission in California.
it has always been controlled by the
railroads. If it has ever done anything
to carry out the purpose for which it
was authorized in our constitution the
fact ia not remembered.
The action of the railroad comp anies
in reference to land grants is conspicu-
GUS case in point of the impunity with
which the law is disregsrded by the cor
porstions. The law provides in plain
terms that if the lands granted to the
railroad to aid in it's construction shall
not be sold or disposed of by the COM
psny within three years after the COM
pletion of the road they ahsll be open to
homestead and presumption settlement.
the same as the other public lands OF
the United States. This law is q per
fectly dead letter on the statute books.
Ii 1t had been carried out in good faith
by the railroad companies there would
now be fewer unemployed to beg for
transportation over the roads.
1t il, OF course, no palliation of an
offense to set up plea that the one
com planning has also offended. Two
wrongs cannot make one right. But
the judgment of the public is always
softened when the ulprit can show that
his trsnagresaion ia only following out
the bad precedent set by the party
pursuing him. The Northern Pacific
has been in the possession from the
start OF ring OF the noat audscious and
unscrupuleus corruptiouists that ever
WAS known. TIA influence in congress
