Two hundred and eighty people poured into Skagway yesterday on three liners that arrived from Puget sound and British Columbia ports. The coming of such en aggregation in one dav-on a day of ideal summer beautv-made the town extraor- dinarilV lively, especially about the wharves and depots.
 The arrivals of yesterday are bound chiefly for Klondike, for A,lin and for the railroad extension. They came on the City of Seattle, the Amur and the Al-Ki :. The Seattle brought the largest number of people. not only of the day but of any vessel that has come to the port since last summer. She had ISo people for Skag> way.

Camera Club Inaugurated
 by a Grand Banquet.
SNAP SHOTS OF TOASTS
The Club, While n Mere "Experi- ment,"s has Developed" In the Most Positive Manner, Though
 Taking "Negr lives. Is Its Excuse.

The Camera club held its first annual" banquet last night and the somewhat Bohemian gathering was one of the jolliest functions that has been given this season. The success of the club is absolutely as sured, The rooms of the club are in the store next to that recently occupied by Jeweler Kern on State street, the store be- Ing fitted for developing and finishing work and the room at the rear as the dark room. When the women entered the dark room they gave little shrieks of delight There are baths and rocks and things and things that only photographer or a camera ''fiend" could properly describe and appreciate, but it may be said that photographers Case and Barley in the in terests of the club, have unselfshly aided in fitting up dark room that Is provided with every convenience amateur, or even the professional, could desire,
 The developing room last night was used as he banquet hall, and much wit and humor was developed in the course of 1t. There were thrtv-flve covers at the long tables, decorated with palms and flowers and having camera on tripod as the center piece. and with the witty Dr. Moore as toast master, the following sat down to bountiful spread, of which the first course, a blue pencil mark on a piece of card board, was joke;
 Mrs. Mcclellan, MissDeSucca, N. k. Wilson, P. E. Kern. Miss DeGruyter, Mrs. Brownell. Mrs. Case, pr. Hall, Mrs. Clinton, H. C. Barley. Miss Lewis, Mrs. West, Miss Marcia Latimer, 2. P. Wilson, Miss Latimer, Commissioner Sehlbrede, Mi Tiff, Miss Henton. Mrs Evans, Mrs, Keller, Mrs. Hauxhurst. w.. H. Case, Mrs. Gwinn, Theo. Johnson, ". E. Smith, H. H. Draper, Cortes Ford, w.. H. Grav, F. Bishopriek, Geo, Henson, Wvnter Patterson, Geo. Bracket.
 There were string beans on the menu, that is beans on string literally. and green peas were P's stamped on card with green ink. But the rest of the menu was substantial and the service was superb, as can be readily understood when 1t is known that Secretary Reid was head waiter.
 It was eleven o'clock when Dr. Moore called upon w. H, Case for the first toast "Our Club" and MT. Case spoke well and thoughtfullv. Then pr. Hall spoke on Dark Rooms" a subject so suggestive in its character that 1t carried him back to hls Boston home, where the girls have real 'courtn' nights at decorous intervals, when the parlor gas Is burned very low. This was abont all the doctor seemed to know about photography.
 Commissioner Sehlbrede spoke on "Ex- periments, Miss DeSucca on "Snar Shots" one of which developed the Kern .eI in matrimonial nut of some conse. quence. Exposures" was the subject R P. Wilson spoke on; Mrs. Mcclellan made a speech on Developing "; H. c. Barley spoke humorously and technically and al I the rate of about thousand words min ute on the subject of" Graduates, "and Mrs Keller told in the very best way one of the very best stories of the evening"
 It was, in short, a very jolly and infor- nal affair.

The uniforms of the baseball nine arrived last week after many delays. and the boys were on the diamond Sunday clothed in regal splendsr. Chairs had been placed on the levee and tickets sold 10 raise money to pay for the suits and about $50 was raised, Manager Greenleaf having advanced the money for the uniforms. A picked nine was pitted against the regulars, but the former could scarcely make it interesting, although the contest was enjoyed by the large crowd present.
 Next Sunday afternoon promises to witness a game well worth the seeing. A number of the best players of Southern California are in town, and supplemented with two or three play CTS from the local boys. have formed a team that is worthy of any adversary

Who Is there that has not heard that stale old Story about the dead soldier who waking up in Hadee sent back for his blankets, the climate being so much colder there than in Yuma, from whence he hailed. It will, no doubt, surprise most people to learn that the an nual temperature of this much belied place averages the same throughout the yea as Anaheim, California. the heat being no greater and the cold not more severe. This statement is made upon the author lty of the Southern Pacific Com pany's publication, than which none are more reliable. This point settled, the bugaboo that has here tofore restrained people from set tling in the Gila valley, gives place to matter of fact statements that must inevitably attract desirable class of settlers. The orange, lemon and lime natures earlier in Yuma than Florida, and months before they reach perfection in California. Early in June the grape puts on it's bloom of ripeness, and by the middle of that month they maSe their appearance in great profusion. The apricOts and other pitted fruits are correspondingly early. This gives 6 whole long month the ad- vantage over the most favored spots in California.

ABOUT ERRiGATIOA.

Irrigation is the oldest system of known. It. was under stood in the infant days Of the race on tie plains of Persia, Babylon and Assyria, where i; is in pTac- tice now. Adam, probably, after being driven out of Eden and c: m- pelled to earn his living by the sweat of his brow, must have learned 10 raise crops by irrigation on the Mesopotamia. The richest and most productive regions on the earth have been cultivated in this manner for thousands of years. The valley of the Nile, the greater portion of India, the green plains of Lombardy, the beautiful fields of Castile, have always depended on irrigation fer crops.
 Though subject to such a system for thousands of years, they have to-day the most productive spots on the earth and support 8 dense population-in India 200 to 6OC souls to the square mile; in Pied mont, Italy, 270, and 399 persons for Lombardy. Irrigated portions of Spain have populations from 2OC 10 400 souls to the square mile Egypt, the granary of the world, hls a population of ASA to tho square mile. In the United States irrigation is practised in Southerr California, New Mexico, Arizona Colorado and Utah.
