THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The Irrigation Congress at Phoenix,
Ariz., may prove to be the most important
assembly of the kind in our history. The
problem with which it has to deal has
now become one of practical politics and
is pressing for solution. The time for
vague discussion has gone by and Con-
gress will soon have to determine whether
it intends to leave the task of irrigation to
the States and Territories or will under
take it as q National enterprise.
Governor Franklin of Arizona, in his
address at the opening of the convention,
expressed the prevailing sentiment in the
Western States on the subject in saying !:
II believe that the Government should
give aid to the reclamation OF arid lands. -
To that extent it may be fairly assumed
the people are agreed, but the main ques-
ton still rema aims to be settled whether
the Government shall give sum OF
money 10 the States possessing arid land,
leaving it to them to disburse it, or
whether the Government itself should
exercise full control over the matter.
1t is certain that either the State or the
General Government should undertake the
work of irrigation, for it is not advisable
that the water rights of our vast arid
region should be left to fall into the hands
of individuals or corporations. Private

THE RIGHT METHOD.

| The legislators-eect from the southern
counties of the State have met at Los
Angeles for the purpose of considering the
needs of that section of the common
wealth, and of devising means for the pur-
| pose of procuring legislation required to
satisfy them. In order to do this, the
legislators visited the public institutions
Of those counties, and posted themselves
thoroughly on their conditions and on the
amounts of appropriations necessary to
sustain and advance them.
AS result of the meeting and investi-
CATION, we are informed by dispatches
from Los Angeles that while at Whittier
on Tuesday the Repubi mem bers of the
Assembly from that section of the State
met and organized for the purpose of pre-
senting united front and cooperating on
matters of interest peculiar to the south
elm section of the State. 1t 10 said that
mem bers from Los Angeles, Orange,
| Riverside and San Bernardino counties
were present at the meeting.
While the organization effected was con-
fined 10 Republicans elected from the
counties named, it cannot be doubted that
members of the Legislature representing
all parties and all counties south of
Tehachapi will act in unison for the pur-
pose stated. The southern delegates
will come 10 the State Legislature knowing
exactly what they wish, and prepared to
make well-directed fight for it. There is
every prospect therefore that they will
attain success, and that the south will
once more prove itself to be the pre-
eminent factor in State legislation.
i
On the contrary they are deserving of
praise and com mendation. 1t is alto
gether right and proper that men elected
to represent the interests of certain Sec
tions of the State should meet together to
consider what those interests are and to
devise means of promoting them. Such
actions become pernicious only when they
tend to sectionalism and when the repre-
sentatiyes so far fall short CT State patriot
tism as to regard themselves as legislators
for section only. Their is no reason to
believe the Assembly from the
south have made this mistake, and their
organization therefore should not be re-
garded in Middle or Northern California
as adverse to the general welfare.
In fact, so far from looking with jealousy
those who have been elected from other
sections OF the State should initiate their
example. Every man elected to the State
LEGISLATURE should make himself thor
oughly acquainted with the needs of the
State and primarily with those of his own
section. If this were always done there
would be much more intelligent legisla-
ton at Sacramento than has been the
custom. Such system of self-instruction
would enable every member of the Legis-
lature to direct his efforts to the best
result and would go far to put an end to
that bungling legislatio which has been
so pernicous in the past.

enterprise has done much for America,
and the people have no objection to the
development of such enterprise on general
lines. Nevertheless it will hardly be ex-
pedient to the public welfare of the great
arid districts of the country to permit
virtually their entire lands to pass into
the holdings of private or corporate hands.
The great West, which contains all the
arid districts of the country, has never
received its fair share OF the appropri-
atoms from the General Government. As
Governor Franklin said, 1.-THE arid West
has been an orphan at Washington for
long time" The paternalism OF the Gov,
eminent has been given mainly to the
East, and it has shown itself but mig
gardly stepfather toward all the wide re-
gion west of the Missouri River.
A well-uevised scheme OF Government
aid to the arid districts would work n
revolution in this section of the Union. 1t
would literally realize the old saying of
making the desert blossom as the rose"
1t would provide a means for furnishing
millions of people with happy homes, and
would make the West 6 rival to the
East in wealth and population.
There are good reasons for expecting
that the next Congress will deal with this
subject in manner commensurate with
its importance. The Republican party,
which will control the next Congress and
the administration, is in special sense
the champion of American industry and
American development. II will regard
with favor every proposal which tends to
advance the welfare of the country, and it
i -
OF irrigation will receive due consider
alton as soon as President-elect Mckinley
enters upon his term of office. 1t devolves
upon the convention at Phoenix to sug-
gest the means which will produce the
most beneficial results, and if it succeeds
in doing so there can be little doubt that
the next Congress will adopt measures for
carrying them out.

AROUND ThE CORRIDORS

Gathered at the Palace Hotel day or two
ago was group OF men interested in and dis
cussing gold and silver mining. Most of them
were young men, but among them was an
elderly man OF striking appearances, with q
face some thing like that of the late James G..
Blaine.
He wore rather heavy gray beard, and his
hair, equally frosted, was thick and hand
some. A broad, SOFT black hat set off his fea-
lures, and as whole he looked like one who
had seen and experienced much that was
calculated to stir the blood.
The man was Philip Deidesheimer, famous
in the annals of Pacific Coast mining. He has
been pathfinder in mining, for he was one OF
the earliest pioneers OF Virginia City, and he
put in the first set OF square timbers in the
Comstock that was ever used in any mine.
For this he has received handsome medal,
which is highly priced by him, and probably
will be kept as precious heirloom in his
family
While Deidesheimer and his companions sat
talking another old pioneer INDUCED in
"reminiscences of this interesting man. Said
he to a CALL representative:
81 remem Der well IN the '7O's when Deides-
heimer came over here from Virginia City and
was rendered q great banquet at the Occiden-
tai. In those days he was bigger man than
Maekay, Flood, Fair or others OF the bonanza
kings. lie was worm more, at least 1t was
supposed he was, and everybody believed in
him and lionzed him. The banquet was be-
cause of a report that Deideshelmer mao made
on the Comstock, in which he stated that
there was $500 000, 900 in these mines.
''It was RIGHT at the time OF the great boom
in stocks on Pine street and of the consolida-
ton of the California and Virginia. Such ex-
element as there was on this occasion never
expect to see again. Mr.. Deidesheimer was
due to arrive from Virginia City, but he was
late and didn't get in till O'Clock.
zine crowd that had massed on the outside
was immense. 1t was packed for four blocks
each way. They cheereo and yelled for
Deidesheimer, and nothing would do but he
must make a speech. Finally he complied
He came out on the balcony in front and
made talk to them. He was not by practice
d speaker, but he WAS mining man and able
to talk off some good points to them. Then he
withdrew TO the banquet-room, where the
most influential of the City were gathered to
do him homage. 1t was great event in his
life, sure.
"But he has had some bad luck since then.
He owns lots of mining properties, but they
are not the snaps that his property was sup
posed to be then. He lives at the Occidental,
and has lived there for almost thirty years.
He owns the Blue Gouge mine in FL Dorado
County, and recently sold it on a bond to
Mackay, Colonel Head and others. He has
also lately sold another mine when he owns
in Calaveras County TO Boston PARTIES They
are the same parties who not long since bought
the Pioneer, in Marlposa County, from the
Fair estate and J. E. Davis.
''Mr. Deidesheimers prediction that there
were 100000, 900 in the Comstock was consid-

PROTECTION SENTIMENT.

a striking evidence of the DEVELOPMENT
of protection sentiment in the Southern
States has been shown at the convention
of lumbermen now assembled in Clncin-
natl. In this convention the Southern
States are largely represented, and the
members from that section are as earnest
in demand for protective duty on lum-
Der as are those of the East.
There are abundant reasons for this
change of sentiment in the South. Until
few years ago the Southern people re-
garded their industries as free from COM
petition from foreign countries, and were
therefore almost unan imousy in favor of
free trade. Now, however, by the develop
ment of a diversified industry they find
that foreign com petition is as injurious to
them as TO the Northern States, and are
rapidly coming to an understanding of the
importance of supporting the great Ma
tional protective system of which the
Republican party is the advocate and
champion.
1t is estimated that about 1000, 900 900
feet of coarse Canadian um Ger is pouring
in upon our markets in competition with
the home product, and the ruinous effect
is felt in all the lum Der districts of the
Union, South as well as North and West
as we'll as East. As result of this cond1-
ton OF affairs we now see the lumbermen
OF all sections of the Union joining in the
demand for a tariff on lumber sufficiently
high to afford protection to the home in
dustry.
While the evil of the Canadian compe-
tition has been felt in the South, it has
been even more disastrous on the Pacific
Coast The facilities OF transportation
between British Co!um bia and California
enable the lunbermen of Canada to gain
admission to our markets with ease, and
the mpetition is the more unfair to the
lumbermen of Washington. Oregon and
California because of the different condi-
tons under which the industry is carried
on in British Columbia and in this coun-
try.
As was pointed out to the convention by
Mr.. Foster of Tacoma, the Canadian Gov
eminent takes back the land after the
timber is taken off it, and the lumber
dealers have no taxes to pay there. They
also have cheap labor, and tariff of 50
a thousand feet will not affect them in the
market of the Pacific Coast.
IL IS certainly an encouraging Slgnt TO
see men from all sections of the Union
uniting together in support OF the great
policy of protection. 1t gives assurance
that when the protective system is once
restored it wilt remain as part of the
permanent policy of the Government for
years to come. 1t will be supported in all
portions of the Union, and will no longer
be subject to the disturbances of sectional
issues or party politics. The protective
sentiment may now be fairly said to be
thoroughly American, and, like the policy
itself, has been made perfect by being
made universal.
