AN lha1GATIoN CANAL, SOUTHERN CALI.
FOkNlA.
and southwestern Arizona are the only
places where water can be had from
the stream for irrigation purposes.
The chief single undertaking is the
watering of ooO. 900 acres in California,
which has just been accomplished. In
this the water tinIs it's way through 50
miles OF canal and many more Of
lateral bitches. Additional canals are
being put in. SO rapidly is the project
being worked out that there is little
doubt that it will be fully consummat-
ed within two or three years.
Only those who are conversant with
the desolation Of the desert reclaimed
or to be irrigated can realize the trans
formation effected. Upon this desert it
has been farther between the sources
OF water than on the Sahara, and in
furious sandstOrms and weird mirages
1t is fully the equal of the African
waste.
There was an international question
to be met by the projectors of the great
/ Ai'SallOli ScupIiip. NATURALLY MtNlcO
would never consent to the draining Of
the Colorado river. whose mouth lies
within her domain. The company car
rying out the plan secured harmony by
undertaking TO divide the territory to
be irrigated evenly between the United
States and Mexico.
1t Is not probable that the great :rri-
gated tract will in any way come into
competition with the fruit producing
sections of southern California. There
is one fruit. the d"te, for which tn,
desert is perfectly adapted, and in tho
course of few years an importan,
new industry may be developed in this
section. Dates are grown nowhere il,
the United States at present in com
merclal quantities. Tests made in the
desert country have been successful
ana many date palms are being plant
ed.
The great value of this land, howey

A startling sermon.

Once when Father Honore, a cele-
brated Capuchin of the seventeenth
century. was preaching on the vanity
of the world he suddenly produced q
skull, which he held up to view.
''Speak" he cried Were you not per-
haps the head of q magistrate? ST.
lence gives consent" Then, clapping
upon the skull the cap of judge, he
continued: "Ah, ha! Hast thou never
sold Justice for gold? Hast thou never
been snoring many times during hear
Ing, etc? How many magistrates have
sat under the fleurs-delis only to put
virtue at a disadvantages"
Casting aside the skull. he held up
another, which in like manner he adj
dressed. 'Wast thou not perhaps the
skull of one Of those beautiful ladies
who occupy themselves only with
catching hearts after the manner Of
bird catching?' Then. arraying it in
:, i.eaddress, he continued: "Ah. Ia.
Empty head! Where are those lovely
eyes which cast such fascinating
glances. that pretty mouth which shap-
ed such gracious smiles, that made so
many unhappy ones to weep in hell?
Where are those teeth which cheWcd
upon so many hearts only to make
them more tender for the DEVILS eat
ing?' and so on, bringing forth skull
after skull and appropria tely decking
them to receive his rcproofS.

Lamb In Either Case,

One Of the editors who read the man

tests Of companonable fitness. inquired
whether the author preferred Lamb or
Milton.
Mr.. Stephenson replied. acknowledge

A CuriOus Error

The Rev. DIR. Edward Everett Hale

Find Remarkable Package.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Dec 26.-The
postofice employees at the Union Station
sub-station found strange package
among the Christmas packages when they
ca1ae to assert them for the waiting trains
in the station.
All the Offices were crowded yesterday,
and many packages were posted at the
sub-station. When the employees came to
assert them they found basket on which
there was no address and no stamp and
none of the men could remember taking
it in Examination showed thar it was
covered over with linen.
When turned to one side a small bottle
of milk fell out. This led TO the opening
Of the basket, and a boy baby probably
week cid, WIS found neatly wrapped up
in hannels and sleeping soundIy.
The police were called and took charge
of the infant. but the postofice employees
are at a less to know how it got into the
Office. It is supposed though that the
mother put il through the window or
quietly entered the room while the men
we're busy and deposited the basket with
the packages, which were piled in a heap
on the floor
The station police say they saw wo-
man near the sub-sta ton just before the
basket was found but nothing about her
attracted particular attention.

Restricted USE OF TELEPHONES
District Commissioners Issue Rules
rs to the Service.


Numerous complaints have been made
from time to time by the operators upon
the District telephone switchboards
against the use of the municipal tele-
phone wires for private business At
times such use of the wires has inter-
fered TO some extent with the prompt
sending of messages among the depart
ments-
This condition OF affairs has led Walter
c. allen, the Electrical Engineer, to re-
quest an official order from the Commits
sioners forbidding the private use OF the
District telephones. M Allen states the
use of the telephones in the various Dis
triet offices, including the police, FIRE,
and school departments. is so excessive
that the trunk lines connecting the two
switchboards are so overloaded as TO seri-
ously interfere with the public business.
Mr.. Allen asks that the order state
that the telephones in the various Offices
are intended for public business only. and
must not be used for private business.
Commissioner Ross. in passing upon the
request, stated that he could not act in
diligently upon the matter He for
warded the request to his associates with
the suggestion that a peremptory order,
IS recommended, might cause embarrass-
ment, especially when friends desired to
talk with the Commissioners upon private
business. Later Commissioner Ross, after
a conference with Mr. Allen as to the
scope Of the proposed order, approved il.

Of the shareholders OF the DeBeers Mining
Company, the chairman stated that the
DeBeers and Kimberley mines had been

considerably increase. He added that the
