A Mystery Of the Ocean.

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. Jan. T.
Shipping men here have no doubt that
the vessel reported from London as be-
ing wrecked near Manila is the Chilean
bark Latona, Captain Edward Gilmore,
(which sailed from here three months ago
with lumber cargo from Port Biakeley
for Chile. The name Leonora given in
the dispatches is believed to be an error.
Several weeks ago the Latona was spok-
en- by the schooner Azelia, whose captain
saw no officers and was impressed with
the idea that there had been mutiny on
the bark

Battleship Wisconsin Adrift.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-The tugs
'Slocum and Millen Griffith were at work
yesterday trying to get the battleship
Wisconsin back to her old position near
the Union Iron Works. During the high
wind Thursday evening the Wisconsin
drifted from her position, dragging her
mornings with her and bringing up be-
tween the rolling mills and Hunters
Point, a distance of nearly two miles. 1t
is said that the battleship was only stop
ped by striking the mud bottom.

heavy trade winds prevailed all

|LEAvY trade winds prevailed all
day yesterday, and the smaller
coasting vessels which happened
to be outside felt the full force Of an
unusually strong blow.
The little Island schooner Mokihana
went ashore in the morning at Waia-
nae and is reported to be in a position
which is likely to result in her going
to pieces.
The report of the schooner being
ashore was brought to town by party
of natives who came in on the rail-
road They did not know the name OF
the schooner, and at first thought that
II was the Blanche and Ella Early in
the afternoon, however, the Blanche
and Ella arrived safely in port, and
then it was learned that the Mohikana
had gone ashore.
Although there was a strong wind OF
shore at Waianae, the Mokihana went
ashore while lacking. Waianae is on
the Honolulu side of the Island, be-
yond Pearl Harbor.
1t was thought yesterday that the
Mokihana stood very little chance of
getting anOat gain.

Vast Reclamation Scheme.
The Desert To Blossom
As the Rose.

The greatest achievement in the history
of the development of the Southwest is ta-
king place so quietly that few persons are
aware achat is being done 1t is the placing
ofirrigation water on hundreds of thousands
of acres OF the most forbiddng of American
deserts the Colorado occupying a very
large part of Southern California. More
than five hundred thousand acres in Sothorn
California are to be irrigated and cultivated
for the first time during the next two years
while across the river in Arizona about one
hundred an3 fifty thousand acres acill be
brought under cultivation during the same
period. Taese two great bodies Of land will
about equal the total area of Rhode lS'aud,
and will constitute more irrigated land than
there is at present IN the seven counties OF
Southern California. To his grand total is
to be added 500 900 acres acrros the inter-
national line in Mexico. Of this land much
will be painted to crops during the next
month, while it is expected that about 800
900 acres will be under irrigation and cul
tivation by next winter.

Is Spain S Best Hope


In less than year Alfonso XIII, will
be king of Spain IN fact as we'll as in name,
for en- the 18th Of May next he aclll have
attaiued his majority, which in Spain is
sixteen years, The regency will come to an
end aud he will assume the full powers of
his pos too. BetWeen no,r and then his
education for his office will be conducted
on a higher plane than it has been tereto-
fore. He will no longer be treated as child,
but will attend all the meetings OF the ca
bnet and will travel extensively through
the Kingdom. Although he has been king
in name ever since his birth, which oeurred
six months after the death of his father, he
is known TO very few of his subjects, for up
to the present his time has been divided
between Madrid and San SebastleD, his
summer ba,hing place. The future OF the
Spanish monarchy undoubtedly depends
upon this trail, delicate youth, and he alone
sta ds between Spain and a revolution. The
unpopularity Of his sisters recent marriage
was due to the fear of having her as queen
with a Carlist, or ex CarliSt, as her conSort,
and this fear would be realized if anything
we're to happen to her brother. The recent
disturbances at Barcelona, always In the
van of all Spanish agitations from the time
of ESpartero to the present day, have yet
| further increased the risks which surround
the throne. The woikmen's movement all
over the industrial cities OF the peninsula,
the desire of the Galatians tor large: mea'
sure of autonomy, and the antl-clerlcll cru
Sade-theSe constitute the triple dangers o
The hour.

Banner Mine Sold.

of New York, who went into Flor
ence last week to examine the con-
dition Of the Banner mine for New
York parties have returned, and,
as we are informed, they have de-
cided to take over the property.
They have purchased the entire
outfit on the Blossom property,
in the same camp, consisting Of a
hoist, engine and boiler, aud the
Huntington mill equipment, and
will have the same removed to the
Banner forthwith. They are also
under contract with the original
owners to sink the shaft an adj
ditional 200 feet. This shaft il
already down to depth Of zoe
feet, and the new work will give a
total depth of 400 feet, by long
odds the deepest hole in that camp.
These operations will prove Of
great value to Florence, rs the

Armstrong and Sammis left for
Spokane Monday to conclude the
negotiations for the property with
the owners, who are all Spokane
people, and they will then return
to inaugurate the work during
the coming winter.

PROPERTY ROAD TAX.

The legislature last winter
passed law giving boards of
county commissioners power to
levy special road tax. The law
is not mandatory, but in any
county where it is thought desir-
able that this special tax for the
building and improvement OF
roads should be levied, it is the
duty of the board of commission
ers to pass a resolution at their
January meeting declaring such
tax in force and fixing the amount
of the levy at a sum not to exceed
ten mills on the dollar. Incorpor-
ated villages and cities are wholly
exempted from the provisions OF
the law on account of their hav-
ing to grade their streets by special
assessment and keep them in re-
pair. The special road tax may
be paid in cash to the county
treasurer and credited to the road
district in which the property is
situated, or it may be paid in
labor on the public highways.
The law is similar to that of most
of the states, where it is found to
work well.
We do not know that our
county commissioners have given
this matter any attention, or
whether they would act on it il
they had. The solution of the
road problem may or may not bt
found in the enforcement OF this
law, but our experience shows that
for all the annual labor and money
spent in keeping the roads in re-
pair, we have nothing to show il
the way of permanent improve
ments. The roads in Idaho
county after 30 years of expendi
tnre, arc no better than when tn,
county government was first or
ganized. II there is any hope tina
the roads can be permanent,
improved by the expenditure o
labor or money, we apprehent
that the people will cheerfully pu
up the necessary taxes for such ,
purpose. But the present system
Of road taxation and no improve
