A Reasonable Proposition.

The Riverside Enterprise publishes the following program of the Southern Pacific, which is very plausible, and those best posted believe that this program is sufficiently correct to look as though it might be inspired:
 It was a favorite idea of the late Collis Huntington of the Southern Pa cific to take up the present line of road from Salton to Yuma and throw the track away from the shifting sand dunes to better and more economical road bed. Over that stretch of road the wind drives the shifting sands with such force as to not only ire quently bury the road out of sight, but it tears up the ends of the ties neces- sitating frequent change of putting in new ties for the ones that have the ends riven into shreds by the force of the sand laden winds. The tele- graph poles also require frequent re- placing from the same cause. Another idea of the Southern railroad magnate before his death was the running of few miles of the road through Mexican territory, thus taking the line out of the hands of the interstate commerce commission. These plans are about to be realized and will be carried out by his successor, President Hartman.
 It has been learned that the South ern Pacific Railroad is to abandon about one hundred miles of it's main line west of Yuma following the south, instead of the north line of the Colo rado Desert.
 The Southern Pacific has already set a force of men to work on the sur Vey for the new line, and as the coun- try is perfectly level, it will take but few days to make the run from Yuma, passing the Salton Basin on the west, instead of north, to point near Walters, where the new road will again connect with the old road bed and continue into Los Angeles through Indio. This implies absorbing the Imperial and Gulf Railroad, now being graded.
 The company has appropriated $500,- 900 to lay heavy rails across the des- ert, and, realizing the necessity for changing the route soon, this is found to be an opportune time for doing so.
 This may also include the running of a branch from Imperial to San Diego, and absorb the line now being surveyed by the San Diego people, and another factor in forcing the change

Arizona irrigators have had some unpleasant experience on account of the drouth, but they have not yet reached the point of defending the water supply with shotguns. In Colo rado, however, the situation is des- perate. The dispatches tell us that in Las Animas county, for instance, many of the streams have gone dry, and citizens have requested the county commissioners to appoint armed dep uties to assist the regular water com missioners in the proper distribution of water and to patrol the Purgatoire River to prevent water stealing. In many other States the drouth is caus- ing great loss.-Phoenix Arizona Re- publican.
 Tn the Imperial Settlements there will never be a drought, for here it rarely ever rains and the stream never runs dry-or even gets low when the water is most needed.

Cotton Crop in New Mexico.
he Los Vegas Optic says:

me LOS vegas UpCIC says:
 The Carslbad experiment. of last year in the cultivation of irrigated cotton was a pronounced success, the yield averaging fully one bale per acre. Arrangements with Texas capitalists are now in progress for the pledging next year of 800 acres for cotton crop page-the Texas moneyed men engag- ing, on their part, to put in local cotton gin with exhaustive by-product attachments.
 The Imperial Settlements will soon become noted for it's large staple Egyptian cotton crops.

step whose tendency. following the ten
dency of the times, Is towards the trust.
But, indeed. we are not so small and an
progressive as the Sun thinks. We be-
lieve we are the progressive people on
this oyster question. We are, il Is true,
unalterabIy opposed TO any and all
schemes which viii make the oyster
lands private property. But we are in
favor of system of State cultivation
and protection, and a royalty to the
State from all oysters taken from the
cultivated and protected oyster lands,
which, we believe, would pay the State
ten-fold more than any leasing scheme.
The reply viii no doubt be that our plan
is not practical, but we believe that 1t is
practical. And we think we know that
il is vastly more practical than any
scheme for leasing barren bottoms for we
do not believe that much of what 10
really barren bottoms can be made to pro-
duce oysters, and we don't believe that
any practical man in the oyster packing
business OF any pfdCttCdA DuSthcS1 NAL
is going to put any good dollars on
barren bottoms. 1t does seem to us that
If the Sun and those who are striving SO
hard for private leasing law. would
unite with as for State cultivation and
protection, and royalty to the State on
all oysters taken from the cultivated and
protected lands, the solution Of the whole
oyster question would be at hand and
the blessings which the Sun predicts from
private ownership, which we think are
exceedingly problematical unless the
natural bars are leased, would surely
follow, and the State would reap tire
mendous revenue, so large, we conf
IDENTIFY believe, would it become in a
few years as to astonish the people OF
the State, and to cause them to feel truly
thankful that their public ownership in
the oyster lands was net hastily bartered
away to private interests for pittance.
