were outstanding for a partially con structed system.
 That there are several districts now in successful operation is evi- dence that the law rightly adminis- tered is susceptible of good results. It is a system in which the owner oe the land to be irrigated absolutely owns and manages the system. aad controls the water to irrigate that land, and such owners of land get their irrigating water at cost-if there has been no mistakes made in securing or building the irrigation system.
 The Alta Irrigation District in Tu- lare county, is an illustration of one of the successful irrigation districts formed under the Wright Irrigation District Law. This district, when formed, purchased the '76 canal aud Its distributing system, paying there tor with the bonds of he district These people had no experiments to try in the construction of a great sy stem.

by the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States has pronounced it constitutional.
 Not only has the highest court in the land sustained the validity of the law, but nearly. or quite, every clause in the law subject to attack has been adujdicated by the Supreme Court of the State of California.
 There was time when the law was so popular that bankers and inanciers-while they were some times afraid of it-dare not come out openly and criticise it or criticise the irrigation district bonds.
 At a later date the fight against the law became so vigorous and per sistent, urged on by the large land owners of the San Joaquin Valley. that there were few who dared to openly defend the district system and all sale of bonds was stopped, which caused the utter ruin of many irriga- tion districts, and the financial ruin extended to in ividuals who were land owners in irrigation districts where there was no system of irriga- tiOn. although in some cases bonds

pleted The people under this system are satisfied and contented with tue present districC program.
 The Turlock and Modesto districts, located in Merced and Stanislaus counties, are also very successful. The Turlock system is completed for the irrigation of 176,000 acres, and the success is so great that the dis trict now able to refund it's bonded debt at five per cent.
 The Modesto district system is not yet quite completed, but it soon will be, when it's debt wll also be refund ed at five peir cent. Ths district is nearly as large as the Turlock dis trict.
 Both of these districts united in constructing a dam across the Tuo- lumne River, ninety feet in height both districts taking water from the same source of supply, dividing the stream equally between the two dis tricts.
 Most of the districts illegally formed, or corruptly formed in some cases, are dead, and there are no rulns to mark the fact that they ever

still others that were wrecked after such issue of bonds.
 Out of about forty districts organ iZed in this State, only four or five are today in good running order and on solid financial foundation.
 These few districts are standing monuments of the fact that the law is are monuments of the fact that a good law may work ruin by it's nal administration.
 That the law is a good law from a legal point of view is demonstrated
Imperial press and farmer., 1901-12-21

SdillOI ioo upOh ito S'p'o'N books law passed in 1887, and amended more or less every two years ever since, that has been dis cussed and cussed by the general public to a greater extent than any other law ever enacted in this State.
 This law at the time of it's enact ment was decidedly a new departure so far as irrigation laws go in the United States. It was, however, de- manded by several irrigation State conventions which were composed of the leading irrigationists of the State.
 That the law was imperfect ln some respects has always been con- ceded by it's friends, and that it is an impossibility to enact a perfect sys- tenn of irrigation laws for irrigation districts is also true statement, be- cause no human laws are perfect and because there were features that should have been incorporated into the law that the people were not ready to concede.
 One of the weak points of the law was the fact that a board of directors selected from ordinary farmers or limited experience in financial mat ters were called upon to negotiate a million of dollars worth of bonds and then construct an irrigation system ont of the proceeds received there from. Another weak point was the fact that for speculative purposes few men would locate in an ara country. file on a water right, organ ize a district. authorize the issuance of bonds, and then sell the water right filing to the district for large block of the bonds.
 In other cases the transaction would not be so bare-faced, but still the dealing between the district ana certain leading citizens would have all the elements of speculation re gardless of ,Ie rights or interests or the persons who owned the land or to whom the land might afterwards be sold.
 There are other weak points. The district bonds were often issued for many times the assessed value of the district when organized, and the bur den of taxation fell so heavily on the land owners who could not sell their land as rapidly as they hoped, that financial ruin stared them in the face.
 In such cases the bonds were not considered of value by investors, and they were frequently hawked about for any old thing that they might bring. generally in absolute violation of law.
 These are the weak sides of the question. Because of these weak points, there were many districts that went to ruin before they had an opportunity to issue any bonds, and

NllNlS llldl OuSul lO ldNt uCGh uthu long ago are still lingering ghosts in the courts not having been decently buried as yet
 Now that the wheat has been sep arated from the chaff-and there is always more chaff than wheat--pub- lie attention is again being turned to the benefits of the irrigation district system. The mistakes that were so numerous in the forming of the forty districts which were formed during the late boom, when nothing could be done without a tinge of wild specula- tion being connected herewith, can now be avoided. These mistakes have all been pointed out by the courts in numerous cases of litiga- ton.
 There should be no more wild spec ulation in irrigation matters. There should be no irrigation systems formed that do not furnish cheap water to those who desire to use it.
 Prior to 1875 the only irrigation companies in California were close corporations, where a set of capital fsts owned the system and sold the l use of the water to those who desired to use it. For the control of this class of corporations a law was after- wards enacted requiring boards of SUI l pervisors and boards of trustees of
 
 nually, in February, fix the rates at which companies should sell water to consumers in their respective juris- dictions.
 In 1875 the system of mutual water companies gradually came into exist ence as necessity of the times. These companies were incorporated to furnish water to their stockhold- CTS only at cost. Such corporations, when so formed, could not deliver water to any one not a stockholder at any price.
 Most of the prominent irrigation water companies now in Southern California are formed on this basis. Over such corporations, according to d decision of the State Supreme Court, the Board of Supervisors have no jurisdiction so far as fixing water rates is concerned.
 There were and are serious objec- tions in many localities to the Mu- tual Water Company system. A per son may own a tract of land in a To- cality that is irrigated by mutual water compan'. system and he may conclude to buy no water stock and therefore he can get no water In such a case there is a dry desert in the midst of a large cultivated area.
 In the case of an irrigation district all land owners in a given area must come into the district and their lands must bear their proportion of the burden to reclaim the entire area.
 This is right. This is just. The Wright District Irrigation Law has passed through a fiery ordeal and has come out as one of the tried laws of the land. A better law might be pro cured. but no better law for the man agement of irrigation systems has as yet found it's way upon the statute

Vitality of Hebrews.

If the future population of the earth
Is to be estimated on the basis of race
vitality. then there Is no question but
that the Hebrews will yet be in the
majority. Statistics show that the
average longevity of the Hebrew race
is greater than that of any other. Their
numbers must therefore be increasing
relatively to every race, and they GER
tainly are. Whether it is due to the
sanitary measures enjoined by their re-
ligion or because of native vitality is
for students of sociology to decide, but
the fact still remains. Yet numbers
are not always to control the destiny
of the race. and it Is to be supposed
that fraternity and good sense are slow
ly wiping out race distinctions.-Bos-
