The Ottoman empire, once the most
powerful in the world, has sunk so low
that any Of the powers may tweak Its
national nose with impunity. All that
is necessary to make Turkey accede to
command is to send warship. A bluff
is sufficient and almost invariably neces-
sary. The cost OF collecting indemnity
from Turkey depends now on the price
OF coal. The wrangle between France
and Turkey over question OF indemnity
has resulted in the seizure by France OF
the port OF Symrna. The matter 10 the
outcome OF a series Of promises made
and broken by the Sultan, until the
patience OF France was exhausted.

"The Meadows" Cool.

The recent discovery OF coal In the
Meadows district in Jackson county ha'
greatly excited the residents OF that sec
ton. and the feeling has spread to ad
jscent sections until about the whole pop
ulation seems to have the coal lever
There is, however. little doubt oil the
value Of the discovery. The seam found
on a cinnabar claim being worked by
Reed & Fletcher has widened to "a inches
OF what seems to ordinary observers to
be coal Of excellent quality, but of course
only analysis can determine its true
value as fuel. On severs of the ada
cent claims there exist precisely similar
conditions and indications as on the dis
covery claim, and the holders are cor
respondingly jubilant. The railroad Peo'
pie. who have had coal prospectors In
that region for some time past, have, II
is said, purchased several ranches there,
with view to securing lands for coal
development.

WHAT 1T DOES.

"ln the morning the machine
is thrown into focus by few
turns of a hand crank. In about
an hour the guage in the engine
house indicates $50 pounds of
steam pressure. The engine
may then be started and allowed
to run all day without attention.
A clockwork arrangement keeps
the reflector following the sun
around omatically; the en-
gine is self-oiling; the water
passes back from the condenser
to the boiler, so that the latter
is always full. The present
model runs a 10-horse power en-
gine and lifts 400 gallons per
minute, equal to 155 miners
inches, IL feet from an under
ground tank.
The Winslow mail., 1901-02-21
FUTURE OF SUN-POWER

''It is expected that under the
nearly verticle rays of the sum
mer sun the present model will
develop from Is to 20-horse pow
er. But this is by no means the
limit, since several refectors
may readily be grouped about a
central engine and made to pro-
duce 1O0-horse power, and per-
haps much more. The Solar
Motor is simply the cheapest
possible means of producing
steam, because it saves all ex-
penditure for fuel and labor. It
is available for use wherever
steam power is needed. It can
be used to generate electricity
and the power then stored in
electric batteries. Other and
cheaper means may be devised
in time. Any attempt to pre-
dict possibilities in this field,
would be mere guess work, but
it is safe to say that solar pow
er will be one of the great infiu-
ences of the new century and
will make the arid regions of
the west, and other parts of the
world, the theater of the great
est industrial revolution of the
future"

Hollenbeck Hotel, Los Angeles,
says he will furnish fuller de-
tails if requested.

Our Allies

1t the reorganizers would
spend more time opposing re-
publican policies and less time
denouncing the populists they
would serve the cause better.
The populists came to the help
OF the democratic party when
the reorganizers abandoned it,
and the latter are not in a posi-
ton to boast of superior attach
ment to democratic principles.
What is true of the populists is
also true of the silver repub-
llcans, who have for tour years
wed with the democrats in their
efforts to advance the doctrines
set forth in the democratic plat
form. 1t will be an unfortunate
day for the democracy if the
bolting element on the outside
or the corporation element of
the inside is able to so alter the
party creed as to make 1T less
acceptable to our populist and
silver republican allies.

Merchants Interested.

One after another the mer-
chants of Eastern cities are in
teresting themselves in the sub
ject OF Government irrigation
and Western reclamation. The
Merchants Club, of Boston,
gave a banquet January 18th,
and listened to talks by Fred
rick I'll. Newell and George H.
Maxwell on this subject. Mr..
Newell illustrated his remarks
by streopticon views, He strong
ly advocated the advisabi of
Government construction of
great reservoirs in the arid re-
gion to save the flood waters for
irrigation. He showed why this
work has about reached it's limit
under private management, and
that if the arid lands are to be
reclaimed in a comprehensive
manner it must be through gov
ernmental action.
Mr.. Maxwell emphasized the
gigantic character of this irri-
cation work. but called atten-
ton to the great benefit which
the nation, as a whole, would
derive through it's carrying out.
"The problem, however," he
said, 'is not going to solve it
self. You of the East must set
tie it. Whatever is to be done
to people those vast regions
with Thousands and millions of
prosperous home e-builders, you
of the East must do"
Mr.. Maxwell reports that the
commercial interests Of Boston
are much concerned in the sub
ject, and are giving it their
hearty support.
