A CHANGED NAVAL SERVICE.

Vast the between the magnificent ship
bears the Ohio in fleets and the Ohio of the
old days. by represents all the changes that the
passage of time and the improvements of life have brought
about navy There has been in the service itself
better and mightier change than that in the structure of
the ships. The Ohio is to uphold higher Amercansm
among her officers and than known those who
sailed the older one.
An illustration of the change is be found in
taken from journal of the cruise of the United States ship
Ohio in the Mediterranean in the years 1882 $780, 1841
and published by the Boston Transcript in connection with
the launching of the Ohio After giving of
the many riumphs of the ship various European ports
and citing evidences of the admiration she excited among
naval experts of all countries the Transcript says The
journal gives picture of naval discipline of sixty years ago
which makes the humanitarian of to-day shudder The
used for the punishment of all oense that worth

In the of his journal the writer says:

Effective Flood Preventive.

1t will take one or more great floods
of the Mississippi and the destruction
of few million dollars worth of levees
and ripraps and farm and town prop
erty to bring the people and Congress
to consideration of the fact that these
floods could be prevented, according to
the War Department surveys, by the
building of great storage dams at the
headwaters of the Missouri.
The philosopher Confucius, writing
of the great Chinese Emperor Yu, said
that all his efforts could be summarized
in the creation of canals. They were
an effective means of diminishing the
destructive action of torrents and
avoiding foundations. Yet the people
of the United States, several thousand
years later, neglect to benefit by such
an obvious remedy, adopted by the
ancient inhabitants of the Flowery
Kingdom.
In almost every country in the world
where irrigation is practiced at all, the
water supply is subject to Government
control. 1t is recognized that where
the water is of more worth and i'm
portance than the land itself-the land
being useless without the water-its
control and use is question of vital
Importance to the community at large.
The United States is a notable lexcep-
ton. but in the nature of things it can
not long remain so. In the older coun-
tries it is realized that water should
not be used as speculative commodity,
its value inuring to the supposed bene-
fit of one class to the detriment of an
other. The sooner system of public
supervision of the irrigation question
is adopted in this country, the sooner
will come general reclamation which
will round out into perfect development
this empire of the West. 80

Recognized At Washington.

The only instance on record of a
post Office being named after patent
medicine, was last year, when in Wet
eel county, W. Va, a new post Office
was established and named Kodol, after
the famous Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,
manufactured by E. c. Dewitt & Co.,
of Chicago. 1t had given such salts
factory results that the name was I'M
animously selected by the people for
the new Office and adopted by the de-
partment at Washington, D. G. This
action was entirely voluntary on the
part of the people of the comm unity,
without any solicitation whatever
from the manufacturers of Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure. In fact the first knowl-
edge they obtained regarding the mat
ter was when they received a letter
bearing the post mark "Kodol," w.
", and the contents fully explained
the circumstances. For verifcation
of this statement the reader is referred
to the latest Post Office Guide.
A preparation so highly priced by a
community must be worthy of the
greatest confidence.

500 or 100 Days.

The case of John II. Ruhl was dis
posed of in Justice Burce's court at
Mokelumne Hill on Tuesday last. The
charge against him was that of grand
larceny, which was committed several
months ago in connection with George
Warner and consisted in carrying away
the rich ore of the Gwin mine. There
were extenuating circumstances in the
case or Ruhl, who had always borne a
good reputation. On motion of the
District Attorney the charge was re-
duced to petty larceny and he pleaded
guilty. Justice Burce sentenced him
to pay fine of 800 or serve 100 days
in jail, and execution of the sentence
was deferred until the 18th, in order
that he could raise the money. If not
raised in that time he will be placed in
confinement Citizen.

Destitute Indians.

A recent Arizona dispatch states that
the ella river on the Sacaton reserva-
ton is again dry, and this being the
source of irrigation no grain will be
harvested by the Pima Indians. Great
restitution, the dispatch states, will
ensue, and Government aid will be re-
quired to relieve the situation.
This was the proposition which Con-
gress was asked to take up last session
but refused. For centuries-as far
back as we have any record-these
Indians had grown their irrigated
crops, one of the few Indian tribes
which had never cost the United States
Government a moment of anxiety.
Some years ago the white settlers be-
river above the lands of the Pima Indi-
ans: they were even encouraged to do
so by the Government. There has not
been enough water for both, and as the
Indians are not citizens but only wards
OF the Government, their rights have
been totally neglected, and for several
years past, as more and more water
has been taken out above, their crops
have been practically absolute failures.
Congress was asked at it's recent
session to make some permanent pro-
vision whereby the Pimas could be re-
stored their birthright-givenb back the
water stolen from them-through the
construction OF storage reservoir
along lines approved by Government
experts, but no action could be secured.
So the Indians are going on retrograd-
ing, being forced to become beggars,
thieves, and Government paupers,
where once they owned their own
farms, reared their own families, and
had their own tribal government. 1t
is hoped by every one familiar with the
subject that Congress will see the JUS
tice, wisdom and absolute economy of
making these Indians self-sustaining
through substantial irrigation con-
struction.

Mining News.
CALAVERAS COUNTY.

Chronicle: The Wilbur Womble
Mining Company are sinking a new
shaft. They have struck good chute
of ore, which, am told, is over thirty
feet thick and assays we'll. The engine
and boilers for the mill are on the
ground and lumber is coming in for
their buildings. They are working
two mines about three-quarters of a
mile apart and will convey the ore
from the Homestead by an endless
rope transmission. Every thing looks
favorable for promising rival to the
Royal.
AT depth of 12O feet in the shaft, at
the Farrell mine in Amador county,
just across the river from Middle Bar,
a small drift was run and the ore looks
favorable. The shaft having now
reached a depth that will require
proper machinery to prosecute opera
tions to advantage, sinking will be dis
continued in the shaft and work re-
sumed in the tunnel, and we expect
soon to hear good reports from the
mine.
