1T Is SUCCESSFULLY interesting to see
the difference in the way the Chinese re-

actions towards those of other nations.

you may walk along and see on one
side throngs of Chinese trading and talk
ing to one another and to the soldiers;
on the other side all will be quiet and
deserted with scarcely pedestrian ap-
pearing. On one side of this street floats
the American flag, on the other the PEN
nant of another nation waves.
1T is an outrage upon humanity ana
upon civilization that the Chinese have
been treated as they have boon by the
foreign troops who have gone there since
Pekin fell. China has suffered thouS-
and times more than she ever deserved.
Her homes, her cities. her sacred places,
have been looted and devastated, her
women have been outraged. and her de-
fenSeleSS citizens have been murdered.

China would have been infinitely more

stroyed; as it is. the Chinaman thinks
the foreigner is now doing things which
in alien eyes are virtuous and proper.
MANY Of the soldiers did not get to
China until this war was over. They
felt that they must do something, and
this war of piilage and plumber has gone

He Loved Cabbage,

An old ex-slave of Tennessee went to Memphis recently to get his pension check cashed. After receiving his money, which amounted to S11, he sauntered down Front street to a produce house and bought three crates of cabbages. When they were delivered at the wharf late that afternoon, the old man was there and received them with a mouth watering in anticipation of the good times ahead.
 What yer gwine ter do wid dem cabbages?" inquired the ne gro drayman who delivered them. "Eat 'em," was the quick re- sponse. I'se bin free forty years, and dis is de first time I'se had de money to buy huff cab bage. I'se gwine ter eat cabbage till I furgit de way ter my mouf. "-Chicago News.

Imperial CaraI-i.eaGgatc5
 Opened.

George Chaffey, President ard General manager of the Califor- mia Development Company, has returned from the heading of the Imperial canal on the Colorado river just below Yuma. He re- ports that the headgates of the canal were completed on Tues day, May 18th, and at Ii o'clock A. M., the water was turned in for the benefit of the Imperial Settlements in the New River country. Hall Hanlou, who has been the owner of the HanlOn heading property for the past 45 years, until it was purchased by the California Development Company, pulled the string that opened the gates that let the water into the canal.
 For several weeks past, small stream of water has been ruGl- ming into the canal around the head gates through bypass, but this was not sufficient to reach the point of diversion fifty miles westward. The present stream will, however, reach that point and fill the canals within one week from date, so 1t is esti' mated.
 As the distributing system of canals are extended so as to take care of the water, more water will be turned in. Work will be commenced immediately by put" ting several parties putting in summer crops of sorghum, Kafif corn and similar crops, and 1t IS estimated that from 5000 to 5000 acres will be thus put in during the month of June.
 The Colorado river is now quite high, but all flood water has been shut off from the SaltOn river channel by dibes, so that this season for the first time in the history of that country no flood water will go down that channel only as 1t passes through the headgatas under control. The flood waters will, however, 90 down the Padrones river to Volcano Lake in Lower Califor. mia, and thence northward through New River this year as usual.
 The new head gates of the Im- perial canal are sixty feet in length and about eighteen feet in height. Enough water can pass through these gates and the present canal to irrigate 250,G00 acres of land. Two other par alfel canals each with a similar headgate, are yet to be con- structed. ed.-Imperial Farmer.
