Georgia Private Sanitarium Law Vio- lates the Fourteenth Amendment.

Macon, Ga. November SO.-In the ha. . beas corpus proceedings In the United States Circuit Court here today Judge Spear declared the section of the Georgia law permitting private sanitariums to re- ceive patients and hold the same at the will of the proprietor without the Consent of the patient to be in violation of the fouEteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States and therefore null andt void, e.
 The decision was rendered in the case of Samuel Evans, a banker of Milledge- vile, Ga, who had been placed in a prI- yates sanitarium at that place by his wife to be kept in confinement at the will of the proprietor. Evans was released by or der of Judge Speer.

The womans Exchange has reason to believe in advertising. Recently they had a small advertisement in the Age Herald and since then numerous letters have come to them from all sections of the State asking for membership tickets.
 Consignors have also sent articles to the Exchange from New York Balti- more. Philadelphia and Washington.

IMPORTANT PERIOD
 FOR THE BUILDERS.

This Is an important period of the year for the building craft. This Is what Is usually considered the dull season, all though in Birmingham the dullness ie pleasingly apparent by It's absence. Ex- perience of the past has taught the build ing craft that this is the time to con- sider scale and working rules for an- other year, and this the Birmingham unions are doing. This Is good policy for two reasons. First contractors may know exactly what wages they will have to pay, and as the scale and conditions do not go into effect until the following May, the contractors have plenty of time to make their estimates accordingly. Second. all adjustments can be made before the time set and the mechanic does not lose a big part of his busy sea- son, and can be prepared for what comes. This has been a prosperous year for the building craft in this district
 In this connection 1t Is we'll to notice the work that Is being done toward the reorganization of the Building Trades Council on a basis that will be satis- factory to all building craft. A building trades council is an important function in the trades union movement. It is de- signed to adjust, and adjust speedily, all questions pertaining to the building craft.
 A building trades council was organized in Birmingham about two years ago and progressed nicely for a time. The car penters of the district numbering about eleven hundred men dropped out.
 The brickayers were never affiliated, and as a consequence the council was weakened although 1t continued to do business. A movement was inaugurated to bring all the craft together. A com mittee on bylaws was appointed and a meeting was held Friday night to hear and act on their report. Considerable progress was made and another meeting will be held Wednesday night.

THE CHINESE
 EXCLUSION LAW.

A matter that is being brought to the attention and Is receiving favorable ac- ton from the various unions is the Chin csc Exclusion Laws. Much of the redress sought by trades unions is through legislation.
 While Minister Wu with his American ized Chinese cunning is endeavoring to create favorable sentiment in the inter est of his power to thwart the re-pas- sage of a measure that will have the same effect on immigration as the Ex- clusion Act. the trades unionist are do- ing all in their power to prevent this country from being over-run with cheap labor from the over crowded Celestial Empire. Strong resolutions are being passed by the Birmingham unions. and every effort will be made to secure the passage of a measure preventing this immigration.

irrigation from the Colorado river, of which we wrote last week, will be in- terested in the relation of this locality to the outside world, and its advanta- ges and attractions, as we'll as disad- vantages, as place of residence.
 The winter climate is pleasant, though colder than here, the mercury once touching 19 above zero the past winter, and only at two other times falling below 25. This would make it uncertain for citrus fruits, but un- doubtedly alfalfa, barley, corn, grapes and divers deciduous fruits can be grown, as they are under similar con- ditions on the east side of the Colorado.
 That it will be hot in midsummer, as in all similar interior valleys, is cer- tain. But this heat might bring it's compensation in the facilities it would afford for quick drying of fruit, and the wonderful vegetable growth it would induce with an abundant supply of water. Summer retreats may be found in the mountains within easy

the sea; and their interest in this won derful stream will be quickened by a glance at the work it has wrought in the economy of nature, in adding mil lions of acres 10 the area of earth's til- lable soil.
 Our recent examination of large portion of these lands, in company with other newspaper men who went on an excursion for this purpose, may enable us to give something of interest con corning them.
 The portion of these lands under consideration, because they are in pro- cess of being placed under an irri- gation system, form the eastern portion of San Diego county, along the Cobra do river, and extend over the line into Mexico. Think of body of tillable land, unbroken by hill or sand dune, that would extend from Santa Monica to Riverside in one direction, and from Pasadena to Santa Ana in another. It is approximately such an area of land that is proposed to be reclaimed,

distance of this irrigable tract to the north, south or west.
 The section southward towards the Gulf holds natural attractions easily to settlers in the Imperial Colony. Thirty miles below, in the mountains just west of the river is Volcano Lake, a body of water several miles long, about which there are hun dreds of diminutive volcanoes in action, presenting strange and interesting This lower section also a abounds in game of many kinds.
 The entire feasibility of water trans portation to the Gulf is also an inter esting feature. What is known as Hardy's Colorado, large overflow channel, which is veritable natural anal now parallels the river to with Il 30 miles of the lands of the Imperial Colony, and it is istimated that this could be extended this distance at a cost of $5O,OOO, thus giving trans port ltion in a safe and uniform channel
Imperial press., 1901-05-18

this is just what is being done by the California Development Co.,, who have been for several years quietly working at this stupendous civil engineering problem. The water is diverted from the river about mile above the Mex ican line, and is carried by canal, first southwestward then westward, a distance of 60 miles, where it turns due north in the direction of the Salton basin, to water the descending lands on its course. In reaching this point the canal has passed through tract of 250, ,O00 acres of land on Mexican soil, which lies short distance above sea level, and which is merely the higher section of the great alluvial plain be- fore described. Another canal will be made later farther east, and running northward parallel with this, to water another sedtion. On the higher lands, along the margin of the original sea, still other canals are projected as de- velopment of the future.
Imperial press., 1901-05-18

That this soil will be productive is shown by the fact that like soil on the east side of the river where it is irri- gated grows alfalfa and grain luxuri- antly.
 The possibilities of this section are at once unique, fascinating and far reaching. Other irrigated lands in California are detached, irregular and under varying conditions. But here is an area in one body equal to them all, with a soil nearly uniform in quality, and scarcely broken by hillock. It is within reasonable expectation that thousands of these acres will be green and fruitful with the products of the ranch, and that hundreds of thousands of acres will become alike productive in the course of speedy development.

 Those who are alert to engage in missionary or educational work will here find a field when the esta ablish- ment of colony supplies base of operations. Immediately to the south, are 20OO Cocopa Indians, who, so far as we could learn, are wholly neglected in these respects. Still farther south are several thousand more Indians in the s anne condition, making a neglected population probably equal to all the aborigines accessible from the new mis- sions of far off Alaska.
 This great interior section of ti11able land, seperated by 25O miles from the coast line at Los Angeles, will devolp, rapidly or slowly, as the case may be, into great community with interests peculiar to its location, and in viewing the picture that now takes tangible form amid the elusive mlrages of the desert, it is interesting to note the

Editor J. D. Williams of the Whit tier Register, who recently visited this section of the country, is enthusiastic over the possibilities of the Imperial country. The following is in part what he says of the country and work being done to reclaim it:

and strange and fascinating feature of it is the fact that this space was once an arm of the sea, the upppr DOT tion of the Gulf of California as it was originally, but which was filled by the settings from the muddy waters of the Colorado, washed down from remote mountains through the uncounted de- cades of prehistoric ages.
 This surface is not the shifting sand of the desert proper, but soil with the ingredients of marvellous fertility, but which, under the fervent rays of an un- clouded sun, is a dry and barren waste, where the sameness of a weary distance pains the eye, and where phantom lakes that can never be approached tantalze the misguided adventurer.
 Of course it is clear that the water diverted in sufficient volume from the Colorado River at the southern or high CT end of this great inclined plane, would flow by gravity to its remotest part, days drive northward. And
