IT seems not improbable that Vim. E. Smythe will be the Democratic
 nominee for Congress from this dis trict. This may seem rather peculiar
 when the statement is added that Mir. Smythe is not only man of intellect, but of remarkably clean personality, with the instincts of reformer. That is not the character of men ordinaril y found in politics, but MT. Smythe would not get there on his own initia- tive. It would be especially fitting, however, that man who has won a national reputation as an advocate of irrigation should be espoused by the Congressional district that has done more for irrigation than any other in the country. It is too c ,mmon in these days to elect as congressman men of very small calibre, and the fact that Democrats are talking of MT. Smythe as their candi- date may suggest to Republicans the propriety of getting Congressional of Congressional propor- tiOns.

Irritation Bill

The irrigation bill passed by con- gress creates reclamation fund from the sale of public lands in Arizona, Cal ifornia, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mon- tana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, less the amount paid to To- cal land offices and per cent due the state under existing laws for education- al purposes, the reclamation fund to be used for the construction and mainten- ance of irrigation works in the states and territories enumerated. Provis- ion is made for the payment out of the treasury of any deficiencies in the allowances to agricultural colleges ow- ing to this disposition of the public lands.
 The secretary of the interior is au- thorized to examine, survey and con- struCt the irrigation works, and report the progress thereof to congress at each session.

 Section 8 requires state control over waters of non-navirable streams, such IS are used in irrigation.

California Prosperity

When reporter of the New York Journal asked MT. Hartman what wa the most remarkable thing which he saw on his tour of three months in Western America, Mir. Hartman re- piled:
 "'rhe wonderful progress of Califor- nia. You can see it advance. Remem- Der what a comparatively small num- Der of people produce the various pro. ducts from that state. The entire population of California is about that of Brooklyn! There is yet plenty of room. Opportunities increase as pop. ulation grows"

Another Survey
tiOllS.

Little is being heard about a second survey of d railroad route from San Diego to Yuma OF the Mexican side of the line, but it is unders stood that the surveyors are now at work nowhere south of Imperial. This survey is be- ing made for the satisfaction of cer- tain contributors toward the San Diego and Eastern survey, though the ma jority of the contributors favor the route across land in the United States. There are some people who believe this survey is being made in the inter est of the Santa Fe road, which is credited with projecting line from Arizona through Yuma to San Diego, thus forming loop line.

Rice Fields BOOmiEQ

If there is any reason why the rice west of town is not to develop there is no signs of the fact yet. The plants are making a vigorous growth, and to people unfamiliar with the crops, the fields are considerable of a novelty.
 The fields are kept flooded constant ly. Success with the crops this year will probably lead to heavier planting next season, the completion of the rail- road this fall making shipment of pro duct easy.

THE irrigation bill has become law. It is the first product of the tireless energy of many men whose efforts have covered two decades. It is not an ideal law. Under it a century would be consumed in doing as mnch as private capital has already done in retaining the deserts. But it is of immense import because it is the first step toward the establishment of national irrigation policy, and no one could expect more to be accomplished at once than the passage of this law.

HIGHLANDS is hesitating over the question of putting prohibition in it's new charter. That is a little funny. For dozen years Redlands has been a prohibition town, and under prohibit ton it has acquired the most enviable reputation of all the smaller cities of the State. To hesitate in placing a prohibition clause in the organic law of the town is to declare that the peo- pie do not more than half mean their long professions of desire to wipe out the liquor curse. If prohibition is a good thing it belongs in the organic law. If it is not good thing it doesn't belong anywhere.

A PAPER at Hanford calls attention to its low death rate and adds, "still we do not advertise the town as a health resort" Probably if it did the death rate would be higher. Portions of Southern California have high death rates for no other reason than that they are health resorts. There are more deaths in the average hos pital than in the average residence.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has sent to Congress a special message asking for the passage of the Cuban reciprocity bill. In common with many Eastern men, the Nations obligations to Cuba seem greater to the President than its obligations to the people of the United States who are building up the great sugar beet industry. There is no doubt that the reconstruction period in Cuba presents many serious prob lens, but it is asking little too much of this country that it voluntarily abandon great industry as matter of charity to the Cubans.

Illegal Fishing.

Chief Deputy Game Warden Simp-
kins sprang from the rear end OF the
state fish car at the Elkhorn depot in
Omaha as 1t was pulling out for a trip
along the Elkhorn river to distribute
trout in the stream. His reason for
haste was the sight of two men with
a large string OF fish. He had them
arrested for having more than the legal
number in their possession and a COM
plant will be filed. The men were
Meyer Vine and II. Brown. They had
800 fish which weighed from half a
pound to eighteen pounds each. AL
though the men said they secured
them across the river. Mr.. Simpkins
thought the catch had been gathered in
nets. The open season for fishing be-
gins April / and closes October 81. but
the law provides that no one shall
have In his possession more than fifty
fish. A fine of SIS for each fish is pre-
scribed for this violation of the law.

For the past two weeks there has

lawlessness at Lytton Springs. Tex.
and 1t developed that the law-breakers

there had been trouble between the

outlaws are said to have assembled
shortly after midnight and began their
maneuvers by shooting into the Pal
mer house. which seems to be their
central point OF attack. The citizens
turned out in pursuit with blood
hounds. The dogs were killed by tho
outlaws and it is reported the outlaws
are surrounded at Holler's tank. They
are said to be e~ntrenched behind a
