Eden in Africa.

LedIneu men LnSSe many, many years
have wrestled with the problem of
Eden and written learned books about
it. No likely location for it has gone
unconsidered. They have placed it at
various points on the river now known
as Euphrates-on bleak plains at it's
source; midway down, its course; on
lands now submerged; at its mouth in
the Persian Gulf; they have found it
on the plateau of Pamir in Central
Asia; in Arabia; in the lost continent
of Atlantis. A learned author has even
written a wise and entertaining book
to prove that its site was far to north
probably at the north pole; and there
is more to be said for that theory than
to the unlearned would seem possible.
But of all the suggested sites, the
latest one is much the most interest
ing. For one thing, the country which
includes it is still beautiful. whereas
nearly all the Asiatic sites are now
dreary, barren, savage places, where no
civilized person would care to stay
moment longer than he could help.
For another thing, it is a country that
not only has a. past, but seems to have
a future, for it is part of the region
which General Kitchener's victory over
the Khalifa brings SO nearly within
sight of civilization that England and
France are disputing with ominous ac-
rimony over the right to civilize it.
Another good point about it, so far
as we know it, is that it is clean, wild
country, not much dwelt in yet except
by animals. Nearly all the places which
are especially interesting to students
of Biblical history are either waste
L
they are loaded up with Objectionable
squatters. Palestine is an example, and
especially Jerusalem The Emperor
William, who has been there, and for
whom the old place was furnished up
as much as possible. confessed, when
he got home to the grievousness of his
disappointment. There are dirt and
squalor and beggars and squabbling
fanatics of all creeds at Jerusalem, and
there is Turkish misrule almost every
where in the Scriptural East, so that
travellers sigh, and visitors are often
sorry that they came so far to let a
disenchantening reality impair a pic
turesque ideal. We may hope that if
Eden is definitely located where Mr..
Adams thinks it is, and where Major
Karr has gone to seek it, it may be
SdNeu lIOIl oil plO1dlldliOLS, anu kept
as a fit place for pious minds to re-
cruit their spiritual strength in It will
be rather far off for American travel
ers, but wherever British soldiers go
the way stays open behind them, and
problems of transportation speedily be-.
come simplified. Distance nowadays, to
persons with leisure and long pockets,
has ceased to be an obstacle and be-
come a pastime. Long journeys are
not so much in request as short ones,
but they are in request. New places
that it would take three months to
visit, and which are worth seeing when
you get there, are always in demand.
When British railroad runs from
Cairo to the Cape branch is sure to
reach out to the new-found Eden, pro-
vided that Major Karr, or some one,
finds it, and that the doctors will only
agree that it is really Eden that has
been found.-Harper's Bazaar.

Citizen Crimmins Comes Back.
Eds. Record Union: The Board of
trustees at their meeting last night re-
ferred to me as the tool of the Cham
Der of Commerce, because simrly as a
citizen of the city I called them OBJ
structionists in the matter OF furnish
Ing the city with good and pure water
Now, in reply to this member of the
Board of Trustees who makes this
charge against me, must say he didn't
know what he was talking about, as L
am not member of the Chamber OF
Commerce, nor have I ever spoken to
member on the subject now under
discussion. I have taken an interest
in seeing this city have clear water
ever since came here, and this is no
more than any other citizen should do
And now I repeat that we are simply
wasting money by experimenting with
new water filters, and especially with
that poison process of alum. I be-
lleve Trustee Tebbets claims that we'll
water is unwholesome. Will The Trus-
tee say this to the thousands of farm
ers in and about this county who have
lived and raised large families and use
only we'll water, and that taken from
wells only twenty to thirty feet deep?
Let him look at these farmers and
their children, and then say honestly
that well water is not wholesome.
No; Mr.. Tebbets has evidently soured
on Well water, but / can tell him. the
people of this city will never vote for
alum filtered water when they can get
all they want of the purest and clearest
in America right at their doors.
Trustees Devine makes me smile when
he says that some gentlemen came up
from the Bay City to get a good glass
of Sacramento straight. I think Mr..
Devine meant that they came here to
get a good glass of beer, as this city
has the reputation of making the best
in the State, and outsiders think we
live on it in preference to the Shiny
river water. ED. CRIMMINS.

THE WEST IN THE WAR.

1t is thrilling and solemn fact.
that the four regiments which suf-
fered the heaviest death losses in the
campaigns of Santiago and Manila
went to the front from Washington
and Idaho. They were the Sixteenth
infantry from Fort Sherman, Idaho
and Fort Spokane, Washington; the
First Idaho volunteers; the First
Washington volunteers; and the
Fourteenth infantry, from Fort Van
couver, Washington.
The Slxteenth's superb record at
Santiago has become a deathless story
in American history AS writer in
Harper's Weekly says, 1.-THE men of
the Sixteenth regular infantry and
the colors Of that regiment were first
on the heights of San Juan, and this
regiment lost more heavily in killed
and wounded than any other"
In the fierce battle of Manila, the
heaviest losses fell on the gallant
Fourteenth from Vancouver. This
regiment lost twelve killed. Next
in death losses comes the splendid
First regiment of Washington volun-
teers, with ten men killed. The Idaho
volunteers come third, with five men
killed, and only two-thirds of the
regiment in action. Spokane's two
companies of the Washington volun-
teers lost three men killed and twenty
wounded.
The records indisputably show
that in this war the west has done
the fighting for the nation. The fight
ing at Santiago was borne almost en-
tirely by western men. The regulars
under Shafter, both cavalry and in
fantry, came chiefly from western
army posts, and had been recruited
from western manhood. The only
volunteer organization which dis
tingushed itself in the Santiago cam.
paign was the rough riders, and they
were chiefly men of the west.
In the naval engagements of thi:
war the ponderaDce of western
fighters was not so great as IN the
army, but there, too, the west made 6
glorious record. Dewey's crews were
gathered largely along the Pacific
coast, and so was the crew of the
matchless Orgon.
There is something in the free life
of the western plains and mountain!
which develops the best traits of the
soldier. As rule, the western maj
likes camp-life and adventure, and il
at home wherever chance or fate may
cast him. AS a rule be has knowledge
of the use of Firearms; and exper-
1ence in this war has shown that ht
has also the essential quality of discip
line.
Much has been said about this wa
obliterating the last lingering trace
of the old feud between the North ant
South. 1t has done that, and it ha
also taught the east that no mistak,
was made when the young states 0
the west were placed on the flag. I
has forever silenced the unfounded
unjust and insulting assertion, Sc
often heard in recent years from east
ern sources, that in some way or othe
western citizenship was notup to tn
nationa. neutrality-suspicious. Re
view.
