Public Land Bills.

Representatives and senators from the
far west should be careful in connection
with all public land legislation to state
clearly that the arid states do not want
the national government to undertake
the reclamation of arid lands through
congressional appropriations for the
construction of reservoirs and bitches.
The introduction of the national gov
eminent in the active work of reclama-
ton would result in evil rather than in
good.
The reason why the national govern
ment should take no part in the con-
~struction of irrigation works is because,
following the construction of reservoirs
and bitches, would come an attempt by
congress to legislate concerning the dis
tribution of water. That would lead
directly to a conflict with the states and
with state legislation on the same sub
ject. This is the ground upon which
the arid states would object to congress
sional reclamation. The people of the
east would have reason to object because
it would take money procured through
taxation and eXpend it in developing
sections of the country in which the in
terests of the east is but indirect. If not
remote.
The problems of irrigation legislation
are exceedingly intricate and difficult.
Their solution should be left to the
| communities which .are both the most
capable OF dealing with them and the
most interested in reaching a proper
conclusion. Irrigation is a domestic
matter. 1t resembles in this respect
the construction of state and county
roads. 1t should not be dragged into
the domain. of national legislation, for
that would involve the interference OF
men from states where irrigation is not
understood.
Congress should help the arid states
by opening the way for them to develop
their own resources. 1t should grant
the arid lands to the arid states on con-
dition that the states undertake the
work of reclamation. Because the use
of strictly grazing lands-lands which
| cannot be reclaimed by irrigation
would bear a highly important relation
to the agricultural development on the
arid west, therefore, congress should
grant those lands to the statcs.-Denvcl
Republican.

employed, the latter being often unlined.
The thinner cloths are lined with taffeta
or wadded satin, according as greater or
less warmth is required, very brilliant sat
in being preferred for velvet and plush.
The last named materials are decorated
not only with applications of bead en-
broidery and lace, but with mohair braid,
in high relief. In applying motifs OF any
sort the sewing should begin in the mid
die and be carried gradually outward, with
small stitches on the right side, all the lit
tic details of the design being carefully
sewed in place and not left loose.
Short p and wraps will prevail for
spring wear, and the bright tinted jackets
worn last spring and autumn will cor.
tipue in favor. Blouses of thin cloth with
a short basque, plain or trimmed with
braid, will be used for general purposes,
but not to the exclusion of the ordinary,
unbelted jacket, close behind and straight
or fitted in front.
Thin fabrics for evening bodices and
gowns and for millinery are shown i'll
great variety. One of the newest is u sort
Of SHRED Grape, shading from dark to
light across the width of the goods. An
other has rather wide satin bands alter
mating with openwork stripes. Stripes or
all kinds are much seen and are used both
vertically and horizontally. Roman sashes
have come to the front again and are often
very beautiful, especially those composed
of combinations of dark, rich colors. They
are Of soft, thick ribbed silk and have
knotted fringe at the ends.

The Garden OF Eden.

MAN must have originated on the
western hemisphere, and Adam, or who
ever was the first-born man, must have
been an American, | believe, a New
Mexican"
The foregoing words are from a lee
ture entitled ''The Birth of Man written
by Professor Swain, of Albuquerque,
who takes the position that what is now
New Mexico. is the oldest part of the
earth, or in other words, the first land
to rise above the Eocene sea. In max
ing the statement, Professor Swain has,
from the geological evidence brought
forward, taken a stand which will re-
ouire the combined efforts of theOlogians
and learned antiquarians to refute.
However, the writer has not used all the
written evidence in support OF his posi-
ton that he could, and the missing links
of the chain are these:
In the second chapter of Genesis a
brief description of the Garden of Eden
is given, and among other things men
toned are four rivers which watered
that fair spot. THE name of the first
is Pison.' This stream is said to have
comprised the whole land Of 'Havilah,"
which in plain English mean New
Mexico. The description clearly refers
to the Rio Grande. In the days of Adam
it was undoubtedly a Manageable stream
and the people of Ell Paso used it to car
ny supplies of firewood and chilli to their
city, but the subsequent volcanic erup-
tions partially filled up the channel and
to a great extent made the river what it
is at the present time. On the former
glory of the grand river the pending in
junction against an irrigation company
is based.
'And the name of the second river is
Gihon: the same is it that compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia" To the
present inhabitants the name of Ethiopia
is somewhat strange and only remem-
bered by the Oldest, but from the map of
the territory it is plain to be seen that
the Gihon river of ancient days is what
is now known as the Rio San Juan.
watering the fertile plains of San Juan
county.
And the name of the third river Is
Hiddekel: that Is 1t which goeth toward
the east of Assyria." This must be the
Canadian, and the old historian, for want
of a better knowledge of the country o.
which he wrote, termed Texas, Assyria,
And the fourth river is Euphrates.
No doubt II the original Hebrew could
be traced to its inception the word Eu'
pirates would be found to mean Rio
Pecos.
Thus we have the four rivers which
supplied the home of Adam and Eve
with water In which to laundry their fig
leaves and to irrigate their orchard.
clearly identified. But there is another
conclusive link in the evidence which
firmly establishes the fact that New
Mexico was the garden in which the
parents of the human family began
housekeeping, and that is this. In the
twelfth verse of the chapter quoted from
are these words: ''And the gold Of the
land is good; there is bdellium and the
o~nyx-stone.'

What more evidence Is necessary.
Professor Swain is indicated In his
statement. Geological research in the
territory has established beyond a ques-
ton that man lived in New Mexico more
than 200, 600 years ago, and this facttaken
with the proving that the garden OF
Eden was located among the streams
named entities New Mexico to the claim
of being the oldest country in the world,
and Santa Fe is unqu%estionably located
on the spot where Adam and Eve "sewed
fig leaves together and made themselves
aprons

The Call for Troops.

There is reason for national qualification
in the terms of the Presidents first call
for troops for service in the war with
Spain. The mistake of calling Cor papa-
bly, insufficient army has not been COM
mitted The number of men summoned to
form thu volunteer army. 12J.oop. is larger
than it was thought would De required by
the first proclamation. The latest estimate
was that 100000 men would be enrolled. al
the outside With this army of 10000
listed from the ranks of the National
Guard in the various states and terri
tories. and about 25cOO men of the reg
ular army the United States will enter the
campaign with an apparently adequate
force.
1t has been hoped. however, by the peo-
pie of the District, who take commendable
pride in the LEGAL militia, that the entire
fierce might be chosen for this service, in
view of its high state of efficiency and its
compact and easily handled organization.
Under the apportiorment however, and ac-
cordins to the terms of the proclamation.
the services of only about 500 men will be
needed in the volunteer army now about
to be formed. leaving more than two-thirds
OF the District guard at home for whatever
duty may be required here or later in the
capital city in the way of guarding tine
property of the government and protecting
the citizens from assassinatcry enterprises
Oh the part of agents of the enemy. The
public buildings md the waterworks should
be sive-t full consideration possible OBJ
Jects of such attacks, and for this pur-
pose the services of the entire remnant of
the guard after the Men chosen. for duty at
the front have been sent away will be re-
qUired.
1t has been suggested that Washington
be constituted sort of training ground for
the volunteer forces, several situations be-
irg named as convenient and appropriate
for such purpose, including the Soldiers
Home grounds. If this proposal be carried
into effect the District guard might readily
be utilized. Meanwhile the men who are
selected to form the first detachment of
500 men, or whatever may be determined
upon as the Districts quota. will go forth
with the best wishes of all their comrades
and of the community for their success
and safety.
1t is reassuring to note that the main
sentiment among the brave fellows who
may be left al home is one of cnagrin
that they will have no chance to serve
their country in this caIrpaign. The first
hCpe of every American is that the war
Will be 50 quickly successful that no more
troops than those row summoned tj- the
President Will be Necessary to accomplish
the purposes for which the United States
is now acting. but if this result should not
be attained II is apparently the wish of

second call for trccps may be sufficiently
large to include all those who are now to
be compelled to remain at home.
