TMt COLOR ADO RIVER

Mir. H. P. Wood, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who is per haps doing more than any other man in the county to bring before the peo- ple the vast resources of San Diego city and county, and who accompanied the, Imperial Editorial Party to this section last week, is author of the fol- lowing:
 In small corridor back of the Senate Gallery. in the Capitol build ing at Washington, may be seen Moran's great painting of the canon of the Colorado. Viewing this for the first time one is greatly impressed by the greatness of the artist who trans ferred this marvellous scene to call vas; but, believing that in the econoIny of nature nothing is done without pur- pose, one can but ask why is it that the restless energy of moving water has chiseled out this great gorge, con- stantly tearing away and grinding mp boulders and earth, in it's onward course through coutless ages past; it surely was not that man might wonder and eXclaim at the beauty and gran deur of the scene. No, it was for d grander and nobler purpose. That all wise Being, whose works we rever- ence, was but slowly developing q plan to provide homes for a favored race. The arm of great sea pene- trated far inland from the western slope of what we have called the American Continent; it's purpose being fulfilled, bar of sand and silt was thrown across the gulf, the waters of the stream diverted and slowly through thousands of years the best parts of the soil along the course of the mighty stream were patiently carried and dropped oil this reclaimed land, changing the salty marsh into fertile plain, then having completed this work the waters again ploughed a channel into the gulf, wasting into the sea. A long period of waiting fol- lowed, but at last the time has come and the men have been found to car ry into effect the plans of Providence. Within a short time the waters of the | dorado river will cease their useless

county. Other speeches were made. l.. M. Holt told of the sugar train ex- tending from Yuma to New Orleans and George F. Weeks of the Alameda Daily Encine1, made a motion to ad- iourn, which carried after the follow ing resolutions were read by Fred Allies and adopted by the party:
 The editorial party invited by the California Development company and the Imperial Land company to visit the Colorado river, the heading to the Imperial Canal and the lands to be ir- rigated by such system deem it but justice to the public to make the fol lowing statement:
 FIRST: The Present.-It is recog- nized fact that the Colorado river has for ages past poured its large volume of water into the sea without being of any practical benefit to mankind; That the Colorado desert is a vast tract of naturally fertile desert land, which with a good supply of water would be very productive;
 That seperate these two elements are worthless, but united they would be productive of great wealth;
 SECOND: The Present.--An exami nation of the water supply, which is practically unlimited, and the great Colorado desert, demonstrates the fact that the California Development com pany has now solved the problem of putting this water on the desert; That the public iias endorsed this work by securing land from the Gov ernment and water rights from the company to the extent of over one hundred thousand acres;
 That this irrigation system is furn- ishing an abundant supply of water at remarkably low rates for the right and for the water;
 THIRD: The Future. e.--That by req son of this great work of reclamation half million acres of choice land will be opened for settlement and Southern California will be benefited by the ad- dition of thousands of people to our population and millions of wealth to our assessment rolls.

When the cigars were at length brought on, and Toastmaster Allies, of the Los Angeles Evening Express, had paid a happy tribute to the angels who had prepared the noon lunch, he offered the toast "Woman." to which A. F. Clark, the spring poet of the Riverside Daily Press, eloquently re- sponded, General Manager Fer gusson responded for the Imperial Land company and R. c. Redwood for the California Development com- pampany. A. F. Clark offered toast, "The Editors Have Come, Saw and are Conquered" to which Fred Allies re- sponded: II am not at all conquered.

Eberle, of the Downey Cham ion, made an address, comparing the lands here to that of the Los Nietos valley, where crop was raised each day in the year, and said; "I will never refer to this country as DESERT again." E. J.

NOUS but we found both comfort and 1ustt-
fication in the reflection and the fact that
the upward paths Of all nations were marked
by such sacrifices. We had but paid the
great debt OF duty. and 1t was soon ap-
parent that we had not paid 1t In vain.
Tne south showed no disposition to renew
the conflict. force was not necessary TO
keep her true to the re-esta-bliShed Union.
and We became a stronger government tnan
ever before. Who today would repass the
old lines and go back to slavery and the
rope-of-sand Interpretation Of Our national
existence?
The old lines to which Mr.. Cleveland now
refers were passed in the spring of 1898 by
practically the unanimous voice of the peo-
pie Both parties in Congress voted for
the war with Spain. Nobody of reflection
could have expected us to come out of that
struggle precisely as we went in. We have
come out of 1t with our horizon broadened.
our boundaries extended and our duties
multiplied. But can it truthfuliy be said
that the change has cost us any of our ma
tional characteristics? Are We trying to
despoil any people of their liberty? Are We
in any danger of losing our own? Is not
free and enlightened government under the
stars and stripes the best possible thing
for both the Filipinos and the Porto
Ricans? And are they not certain to re-
ceive II at the hands of the United States?

Clean City Govern ment.


From the corrupt methods and disgrace.
full conditions prevalent in New York
Philadelphia and other cities, it is, in
truth, pleasant to turn to the best govern
ed urban community in the world, Wash
fngton, d. c. Washington Is governed by
the Congress of the United States, through
three Commissioners, the latter having no
direct responsibility whatever to the peo-
pie. These Commissioners are in close
touch with the congressional committees
bers are among the ablest of the country 8
representatives.
Every American is justly proud of Wash
ington. which has, in many respects. no
equal among the capitals of the world.
That there is reason for this pride is quite
evident from the tribute paid our national
metropolis by paper which, like almost
all English journals, Is thoroughly ground
ed in the belief that Englishmen alone are
capable of imparting and administering the
benefits Of good government, national or
urban
The pride We feel in Washington should
be. also, felt in all our large cities. There
is no reason whatever, save public indif-
ference. to use no stronger term, why these
should not be all models of good govern
ment. Where corruption prevails. the
cause Is not far to find. The majority suf-
fers itself to be browbeaten or deceived by
bold. aggressive. criminal and audacious-
ly well-organized minority. The machine
is, in other words. suffered by those who
90 not Deileve In the Hacnlne. TO rule. Is
1t not time for change? Give to all our
cities some of the sound methods of gov
eernment applied to our great railroad and
industrial corporations. Get the best men
available to manage our civic affairs and
pay them the most liberal salaries. Parsi-
mony In salary Is, in such case, waste II,
other directions, for 1t means the govern
ment of our cities by inferior men. who
will work nominally for little or no pay
but freely replenish their purses by steal
ings from city treasures. extortions from
citizens, plumber from reprobates.

The man who borrowS trOuble-will he
kindly step this way?
We read much about him in the papers,
day by day.
That we'd kind OF like to see him and to
greet him with smile,
For we're truly fascinated by his philan-
thropic style.
He is worried most to death for fear the
people up In Mars
Are making vain endeavors to converse be-
yond the stars,
And he says the yellow peril may destroy
our cultured plan
And put us all in serfdom to the sallow
Chinaman.
He's going round in sackcloth, for he says
it hurts his pride
To hear the talk Of canal that isn't for
titled.
He weeps and says that Caesars ghost is
stalking through the town.
And presently the President will wear an
emperor'S crown.
And our financial system he declares, with
dark dismay.
Will land the population in the poorhouse
some fine day.
And We'll get standing army that de-
lights to terrorize,
And they'll massacre civilians just for fun
and exercise.
Oh, this man who borrows trouble-he is
very, very kind.
To take so many mighty obligations on his
mind
And leave us to enjoy the passing season,
with Its cheer.
And revel in prosperity; so long as 1t Is
here.
Well let him take these burdens he so
genially invites:
We will give him what he asks for every
time he calls or writes.
We will lend him all our troubles and his
store shall know no lack.
And he'll be UNIV elcome only when he tries
to pay them back.

No IncreRxe of Taxea.

The Star yesterday, in the course of an
article reprinted and an editorial. showed
that the average Washingtonian Is as
heavily taxed for the maintenance of MS
municipality as is the average citizen of the
states. Statistics Were presented to prove
that the tax burden imposed upon him is
now as heavy as equity should allow or as
occasion warrants. In another part of to-
days issue appears another portion of the
argument from which yesterdays extract
vas taken. which covers further ground
along this same line. demonstrating that
not only does the Washingtonian meet his
municipal obligations In the same degree
as do the residents of other cities but that
he contributes more heavily toward the
federal expenses than do the residents of
many of the states in proportion and in the
aggregate.
This showing goes to prove that the
Washingtonian is not only fully meeting
his own half of the cost of maintaining the
District government. under the organic
act of 1873. but that he is contributing his
proportion to the federal governments
half and is thus standing on the same foot
Ing. as regards the latter obligation. as the
resident of Kansas, California or Maine.
Under such circumstances. 1t Is mon
strous now to propose to add to the Dis
trict's tax burden by an increase In the
personal tax, or otherwise. In order that
the District may more fully meet the deficit
caused by deliberate violation of the or
ganic act Equity would suggest the prompt
repeal of the Ubiquitous provisions which
have precipitated this emergency upon the
capital. Washington does not attach SO
much Importance to the question Of interest
upon the national advance rendered neces-
sary by street extensions, as 1t does to the
payment. under duress, of the nations half
of the principal. The capital can and will
continue to meet its proper obligations.
1t Will continue TO pay its taxes cheerfully.
incidentally helping the government to
pay its portion, as long as the letter or the
spirit of the act of partnership is not vio-
lated. But when both the letter and the
spirit Of that act are broken and the fed
eral legislature proceeds by a series of
unjusthable enactments to throw an I'M
righteous burden upon the District. wipng
out it's surplus and finally causing a deficit
In its revenues. the tax-paying Washing
tonian protests loudly and emphatically
against any suggestion that his load be in
creased as consequence of this unw.se
and unjust legislation
