RECLAMATION.
Appeal to Los Angeles Business Men For
 National Irrigation.
From the Los Angeles Times.l

From the Los Angeles Timesl
 The National Irrigation Association of which Joseph M. Carey, Cheyenne, Wyo., is president, George H. Maxwell Sam. Francisco, executive chairman, and Charles E. Richards, Los Angeles, State secretary for California, has is sued the following vigorous appeal to the business men of the city;
 Los ANGELES (Cal.,) Oct. 13, l900
 To the Merchants and Manufaetur- CTS of Los Angeles-Gentlemen Are you doing all you can to increase and insure the prosperity of our city?
 The future of Los Angeles is insep- erably connected with the more com plete settlement of adjacent territory, and upon its successful reclamation depends our permanent prosperity.
 What are you doing to hasten the substantial development of these vast unwatered plains?
 Merchants and manufacturers in other cities are alive to the needs and possibilities of the sections tributary to them, and if you desire to reap the advantages nature has placed within our reach you must be up and doing.
 Every one of us must acknowledge that the vast arid and now useless desert can only be made productive and habitable by means of irrigation. If we have given the subject careful study, we must also accept the fact that, as so small fraction of the ben efits from such development can be secured from direct returns of the water tolls, unless these tolls are made an insufferable burden, private capital cannot profitably build the necessary reservoirs; either the state or nation must do the work if ever it is to be done, and since even the state can se- cure only fraction of the benefits arising from large irrigation devel- opment, then the nation should, and we believe the nation will, do the work. No stronger argument for the adop- ton of the policy advocated by the National Irrigation Association could possibly be made than is contained in the replies which eastern business men have sent to this city in answer to let ters upon this subject.
 The National Irrigation Association affords greater opportunity for di- rectly increasing the resources of the territory tributary to Los AngAles than any other agency, and believe it is the duty of every one who has the in- terests of this section at heart to CO., operate with this national movement.
 I would respectfully call your att tention to the following extracts, near 1 ly all from merchants and manufac- turers of importance, which indicate | the value which these men attach to the policy of national irrigation, and your cooperation and active support is earnestly invoked.
 Very Truly yours,
 c. B. BooTHE,
 president for California.

Some Interesting Particulars About Cape Nome fin Far Away
 Alaskas.

Cape Nome, on the northern Alaska coast, is now the place which figures largest in the hopes and dreams of gold seekers and fortune hunters throughout the world. Discoveries quite unprecedented in the history of gold mining have been made on the sea beach and the adjacent region at this point.
 The existence of gold at Cape Nome was made known only few months ago, but the rush in this direction has been very great recently, and the re zion is now a hive of industry. The set clement here called Anvil City is only a few months old, and now has a popula- tion of over 5000. All kinds of busi- ness are booming. and corner lots, lum-. Der, fuel, mining equipment and pro- visions are up tos sky prices.
 Old miners declare Cape Nome to be, the most wonderful placer camp ever discovered. Fabulous stories are told of the riches found in the sand of the beach and in the gulches and creeks thereabout. One miner named Lind bloom, who returned to Seattle few days ago, cleared up s10O,OOo during the present season, and has refused ssO0,- 900 in cash for his holdings. A single nugget worth $45O was taken from one of his claims recently. Another man from Sioux City, h., has brought down to Seattle with him sS,OOO in dust taken from space 45. feet square on Cape Nome beach. The storekeepers at An vii City are said to have refused to &C., cept any more dust, as their vaults and safes are full,--Leslie's Weekly.

Red herring are said, like roast
pork, to have been discovered by ac-
cident. In the days Of King John,
SO the tale goes, a Yarmouth fisner-
man hung up some sailed herrings in
his hut and forgot all about them.
They hung where they were exposed
to the smoke Of his wood fire, and
when he one day CHANGED to notice
them he was attracted by their strange
appearance and sampled one of them.
The taste pleased him and accordingly
he hurried to present the rest to King
John, who was then near Norwich. BY
the king they were esteemed such a
dainty that he at once expressed his
intention Of granting a charter of in
corporation to the town from whence
they came. Only one portion Of this
interesting tradition is known to be
actual fact, and that is that the first
charter Of Yarmouth was granted by
King John.

Cells of Conditions IL, China.

This touches the third and most d.
rect cause of the present outbreak. The
breaking up OF China, the partition
among European nations, has been
freely discussed throughout the evils
lied world, not to the pleasure or edi1-
cation of the Chinese. Spheres OF in
f1uence have been freely laid out on
paper by men who do not know that
the true meaning OF sphere Of intiu-
ence' is simply center of trouble
China Is weak. but Cinnamon are
strong, and the future of the tropical
Orient lies in their hands. Even in
Siberia the Chinese gain foothold fast

China. China cannot be conquered,
nor divided, nor retained by outside
powers if it is once awakened and
united. Some men foresee the forma-
ton of two strong ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Tartar Manchuria to Russia, in which
case Japan will take Korea. which she
does not want save as part OF the
strategy of nations. This, Japanese
gentlemen freely concede, but it is felt
Japan will have to do it. as they have
already taken the Improbable island
of Formosa.
Il may sum up public opinion as 1t
reaches me in these propositions:
Il. The foreign powers must protect
their own legations and citizens
against official weakness and local IA
naticism. This they are doing. Shout

people of Japan seem very proud.

make this an excuse for the partition
Of China. This is a thing impossible.

rope could furnish the men to conquer
the country or to hold it in check.
80. The European powers, as Lord
Salisbury has distinctly pointed out,
cannot guarantee the interests of syn
dicates doing business under Chinese
Jurisdiction. They can protect their
citizens under ordinary conditions, but
they cannot foster enterprises by a
show of force.
a. It is for the general interest Of
the world to hold China together, to
strengthen her government so that 1t
can maintain order at home and dig
nifty abroad or to treat Chinese people
wherever they go just as people Of 9TH
er nations should be treated 1t does
not, for example, help our own trade
or relations with China to subject her
people to statutes which apply to imml-
grants or travellers from no other ma
ton.
There is no desire in Japan for war
with Russia or any other nation. There
is a feeling that Japan will not again
be made a cat's-paw of any European
combination. If Russia seizes Man.
churia Japan will feel it her duty to
take Korea, a weak, irresponsible, and
badly governed neighbor. Every one
hopes that the flames Of war will be
confined to the region where they have
been kindled."

President David Starr Jordan of the
Leland Stanford university, writing us
from Shigua. Japan, says:
"The outbreak is the expression Of
a dissatisfaction which has been grow
ing long time in the north of China,
which has relations with the outside
world very different from the trading
and wandering people of the southern
parts. The first source of trouble and
perhaps the least, is found in the work
of Christian missionaries. Wisely or
unwisely. some OF these put themselves
in direct opposition to time honored,
