UTILIZING DESERT LAND.

America has her share of desert land,
and, while this country has nothing to
offer that will compar in area with the
Sahara, there are immense tracts in Ne
vada, Utah, Wyoming, California, Ari-
IONA and western Texas that would, if
combined, make one of the largest des-
erts in the world, excepting the Sahara.
In the Arizona desert country many hun
dreds of lives were lost before the ad-
vent of the railroad, and not a few ex-
plorers have succumbed to te heat and
dryness IN recent years.
The question of retaining our desert
land is one of great interest. In each OF
these vast tracts there are GASES several
acres in extent that are veritable gar
dens. Fresh water springs in some mys-
terious way burst forth and in a short
time and in a manner yet more mysteri-
Gus, vegetation is started; plants, grasses
and even trees soon make their appear
ance under the influence of the moisture
and in a few years reach a growth al
most marvellous.
These GASES nave established the value
of this soil and the virtue of the water.
The beautiful Golden Gate park in San
Francisco twenty years ago was moth
ing but a heap of SAND dunes; the mag
nihcence of the foliage and shrubbery in
this park today is the result of irrigation.
Water has proved a benediction that has
been a source of joy to the people of Cal
ifornia, as well as to the thousands of
tourists who annually visit that institu-
ton.
But few attempts have yet been made
to utilize desert land for farming pur-
poses. 1t has been considered too costly
In the past, out today. with our advanced
ideas, the scheme is to receive most sub
stantial encouragement A company of
Arizona and Texas capitalists was orga-
nized at Eel Paso last Monday to irrigate
10000 acres of this waste land in the Rio
Grande valley.
This land is to be divided into small
tracts and water supplied by wells each
eight feet in circumference. At a rea-
sonable depth a continuous flow of water
may be secured, and by numerous wells
the entire valley may be watered. As
for a few cents per acre, the chief ex-
pense will be in sinking the wells, and
in an early reclamation of much of the
same kind of soil in other sections.

The English Navy.

Although the naval strength of England
is equal to that of any three continental
powers, it is stated they are planning sew
eral more powerful warships. They are
determined to have the best and most eff
cient navy in the world. In the selection
of a family medicine we see this same
spirit being put forth more and more
every day, because the people are de-
termined to have the best remedy that
can be obtained. 1t is impossible to pur-
chase a better or more reliable medicine
than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Every
member of the family can take it safely,
with the assuranc that it will positively
do them good. 1t will restore vigor to
the system and cure indigestion, dyspep-
STA, constipation, nervousness n ma
laria.

Pekin, Jan 9.-The dowager en-
press has signed an edict ordering the
iecapitation of General Tung Fuh
Slang. the notorious anti-foreigner A
Tartar general in Kan Su province has
been ordered TO carry out this sen
tence. Yuan Shat kai, the vlceroy OF
Chi Ii province, and a number of othei
influential officials, memorialized the
throne, charging Tung FGh Slang with
the murder OF Belgian missionaries
and urging his execution before he
could institute rebellion and involve
China in trouble with foreign govern
ments.
All evidences indicate that the EN-
peror OF China is now more completely
under the domination OF the dowager
empress than he was before the Chi
nese court went into exile. Several
high officials were granted audiences
yesterday. during which the emperor
filled the role of a figurehead. The
empress dowager sat his majesty's left
and conducted the conversations. Ac-
cording to the accounts of two OF the
officials who were received yesterday
the dowager empress ignored the en-
peror and the la ter did not attempt
to take any part in the affair. These
officials say his majesty appeared mel
ancholy and listless. The principal
topic of conversation during these au-
diences was the presence in Pekin of
the foreign garrisons. The dowager
empress seemed impressed with the
necessity OF "A conciliatory policy
Evidence accumulates pointing to
the timidity of the dowager empress
about coming back to Pekin. Her first
remark upon alighting at the Machia
pu station Tuesday was: Where are
the foreign soldiers?" Upon seeing
number of newspaper correspondents
at the station dowager empress bowed
to them obsequously.
Before leaving Pao Ting Flu in the
special train Tuesday, the dowager
empress requested Traffic Manager
Foley of the railroad not to use the
locomotive whistle, explaining that she
was extremely nervous and that the
whistle frightened her. The dowager
empress proposes to decorate the
American and japanese officers who
guarded the imperial palace during the
courts absence. She also will confer
decorations upon the officers and en-
gineers who had charge of the imperial
train during the railroad journey from
Pao Ting Flu.
