The Colorado Desert.

The most famous of waste places in
America, the Colorado Desert, is popa-
larly regarded as an empire OF hopeless
sterility. the silence OF which will never
be broken by the voices of men. But
the great desert is the life work of the
Colorado river. The scientific men Of
the University of Arizona have anal
wed these waters, and found that ths
actual commercial value of the fertiliD
ing matter which would be deposited
upon each acre by irrigation amounts,
in the course OF year. to $9.O7. What,
then. is the potential value Of the land
which this river has created in centu-
ries? The products OF the region in
clude oranges and the dates OF com
merce. The place is more like Syria
than any other part of the United
States, and the daring imaginations
may readily conceive that here new
Damascus will arise, more beautiful
than that of Old.
With the occupation of the Colorado
Desert, and of the great peninsula
which adjoins 1t, powerful impulse
viii be given to agriculture. mining and
commerce in vast region now little
2eopled. One Of the Inevitable conse
Guences will be the rise Of San Diego
