The Culoraao Desert. !.

The most famous OF waste places in.
America. the Colorado Desert, is
popularity regarded as an empire Of
hopeless steriity. the silence of:which
will never be broken by the voices of
men. But the great desert is the life
work Of the Colorado rlvsr. The sci
entific men Of the University OF Ari-
iona have analysed these waters, and
found that the actual commercial
value OF fertilizing matter which
would be. deposited upon each acre
by irrigation amounts in the course OF
a year, to 1907. What, then, is the
potential value of the land which this
river has created in centuries? The
products Of the region include oranges
and the dates of commerce. The place
ls more like Syria than any other part
Of the United States, and The daring
imagination may readily conceive that
here a new Damascus will arise, more
beautiful than that of old. With the
occupation of the Colorado desert and
OF the great peninsula winch adjoins
it, a powerful impulse will be given to
mining, agriculture and commerce in
vast region now little peopled.-

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
Vandalism, n OF Particular.

In 1866 Jacques Marquette, a
Jesuit missionary, sailed for Canada
and explored the great West, which
was then q wilderness. With five
other Frenchnen he reached the
Wisconsin river and tloated down to
the Mississippi in canoes. Fearing
captivity by the Indians il they
proceeded down that river, they re-
turned to Green Bay. He established
mission in Wisconsin, where he
died in 1915. and where his memory
is revered. .5 ...'.-.. .. -.
The State of Wisconsin presented
the general government with a
beautiful statue of the great ex-
plOrer, and it was Plsced in the
Capitol at Washington. Fanatics
objected to the statue because Mar
quette was Catholic and an I'M
successful attempt vas made at the
last session of Congress to have it re
moved, AS threats were made to re-
move it by force, Waterman was
specially detailed to guard it, but
Notwithstanding his vigilance, it has
been badly damaged and defaced
r. vandals. ;.
1t is a mistake to confound such a
dastardly deed as that with patriotism
or with religion. Wisconsin did not
incur the expense Of making that
statue, nor did the government place
it in the Capitol because Of the reigi-
GUS belief of Pere Marquette, but be-
cause he was the first wliteman to ex
plore the State and WAS peaceable and
kind hearted. AS we'll deface tho
statues and pictures of Columbus and
change the names of the many towns
in the United States named in his
honor as to mutilate the statue of
Marquette, as both we're of the same
religious faith. Citizens of this
country, where every body is guaran-'
teed freedom of conscience; and
church and State are entirely indie
pendent of each other, should dis
couutenance such vandalism as dis
grace to American citizen ship.-Reno
