To The Indians

Mir. and Mrs. Herbert Johnson, and Mir. and Mrs. Wm. Sharpless, mission aries, are preparing to make second trip to the mountains of San Diego and Riverside counties, to carry relief to the starving Indians in those sections says dispatch from Los Angeles. Some time ago these people, who are connec- ted with the Boyle Heights training school for Christian workers, went up into the mountains to preach to the In- dians. They travelled in their gospel wagon and penetrated into some of the most obscure parts of the mountains. Such objects of distress were found, the missionaries say, that they aban- doned the attempt at gospel preaching for the present, and returned to seek relief for the physical needs of the un- fortunate people, who are said to be slowly starving to death within the reach of civilization and plenty.
 I. H. Cammack, acting principle of the training school, has been doing all in his power to secure for the unfortun- ates such immediate relief as can be ob- tained from citizens of Los Angeles, The result is that the missionaries will return with wagon load of provis- ions and clothing and some money, but these things will be wholly made quate to the needs of the people, and m a fort will he made to arouSe more interest and secure further help, in or der that the Indians may not be left in utter destitution, while they are wait ing for Bishop Joseph Johnson of the Episcopal church to plead their cause at Washington, D. C.

HOg Prices and Prospects

A. B. Butler, head buyer for Swift & Company, when asked about prices and profits and prospects on hogs, said to Live Sock World man: "Prices are extremely high, but prospects are against anything else. As for profits, it isn't so much a question of how much we shall make, but how light we can keep our losses."
 Some one suggested that perhaps I,ipton had shut down because he could make more out of yacht racing than pork packing for the time being. We'll" said Mir. Butler" yachting is pretty stiff game, but it would lose less money than hogs are doing at pres ent prices.
 Speaking about the adaptaDility of hogs to their purpose, meat making, Mr. Butler sad:" The hog is the meat jest animal that grows. He has less waste and more good cuts about him than any other, and think he shrinks less from live to dead than beef does after it has deen dressed"

An Open Offer

Miss Jessie E. La Force has bought the Monrovia Messenger, and the Po- mona Times says: "Here's our Gs Miss La Force" That is liable to lead to complications, unless Miss La Farce immediately declines the public proffer, because the Times literally represents "we," Messrs. Wasson X Messenger, neither of whom, as we understand the situation, would really be anxious to pose as the one offering to commit matrimony. Notwithstand- ing the high moral character of both our friends Wasson and Messenger, we would suggest to Miss La Force that she gently but firmly decline, though she might offer to be sister" in Journalism.

Water For RedlandS

Redlands Citrograph has outlined a project for organizing mutual water company 10 absorb all companies op- erating in Redlands, including the Bear Valley company, and says that capitali lists, who are not named, are ready to take up the project and build additional dams in the Santa Ana river and in Bear Valley.
 A few years ago there were sixteen water companies operating within a radius of two miles of the Redlands postotfice, with interests dismally in- termiXed. The greatest obstacle in Redlands has been the difficulty of solving this ''irrigation puzzle satis- factorily to everybody, and the most hopeful sign is that now almost all the stockholders have all opportunity to see what their stock is or is not worth as tested by series of dry years.
 The shortage of water has been ser ious at Redlands, and it is hoped that the old and unfounded beliefs have by this time been sufficiently dissipated to make reorganization possible. If Scipio Craig can solve the Redlands puzzle, that town can afford to build him a palace OH the Heights and pension him.

Imperial Water Works

The new management of the Impe- rial Land company has surprise for the town of Imperial, having secured of the California Development com- pany the big drop in.the main canal near Calexico and two drops nearer town. These willgbes utilized in part to provide a domestic water system with water under pressure, and the ad- ditional power will be turned to other uses for the benefit of the valley.
 It is not known just how soon this system can be provided, but the water system is one of the Improvements the company has in view for an early date.

VAST PROPORTIONS OF
 THE PRESENT CANAL SYSTEM

It is difficult for one to get d compre- hensive idea of the great proportions of the present canals and laterals of the Imperial irrigation system. This is not speaking of the system as it will be when S0O,O00 acres are under irrigation, but as it is today with the canals and laterals already dug. h. cluding the portion of the Carter river used as such, there is now constructed approximately 100 miles of main canal, 125 miles of named laterals ranging from feet to 20 feet on the bottom, the smallest of these laterals being as large as any canal in Southern Cali fornia, and 75 miles of smaller laterals, the latter being increased rapidly.
 To aid in comprehending the magni tude of the work thus far done in re- claiming the desert, few comparisons can be made:
 If the source of water supply was at Banning, the main canal would lead 10 Los Angeles ,the named laterals to San Diego, and there would be 75 miles of small laterals for distributing the water.
 If the source of water supply were at Los Angeles and the canals and ditches were stretched up the coast, they would traverse Los Angeles, Ven

feast. The bona fide settler might, like Lazarus, take the leaviugs, if there were any.
 1t likewise throws the door open for an easy evasion of the limitation against the issuance of water rights to private land owners in large tracts, and subjects the bill to all the condem- nation and opposition which this prop osition has aroused.
 "No western man can justify the bill to the East.
 No bill can be passed without the support of the East.
 And there you are,
 What is the use of wasting any more precious time trying to unite the West?
 Ut cannot be united on any measure which the country generally will ap- prove.
 "As one of the most influential east ern members of the House of Repre- sentatives, who is friend of national irrigation, provided it makes homes, has said of this bill:
 It has no more chance than ice in hades!'
 "The bill is far from being satisfac- tory to many western members. Some object for one reason, some for an- other. The general meeting of mem bers, from which the bill was finally reported, after having been drawn by the subcommittee, was anything but love feast. But the mistaken idea that we must unite the West prevailed, and the bill was promulgated as the mea sure on which western members had agreed, and consigned to its fate in the regular committees or on the floor of Congress.
 "rhe fact is, there is no more reason why western members should get to- gether, as a committee, and draw all irrigation bill, than there is that the members from Pennsylvania should do the same to draw a tariff bill. Both are broad, national questions, notwith- standing they may have some special local operation.

counties and reach three-fourths of the way through Monterey county.
 If the source were in the Colorado river on the eastern line of Riverside county and they were extended due west, they would reach entirely across the state to the ocean.
 If the source were in San Francisco and they reached southward, they would come within tenN miles of Bak ersheld. If they reached east they would extend so miles into Nevada. If they reached north they would lack but so miles of touching the Oregon line.
 If the source of supply were in Sac ramento and they were extended in tile extreme northeastern corner of the State in Modoc county. AH
 This is the incompleted portion of the system designed to irrigate about 100000 acres of land, and now ready to irrigate about half that area, the ell tire system to eventually cover S00,000 acres, or about e-eighth as much land as is now under irrigation in the entire United States. When completed comparisons which can be made will be astounding. But as the system now stands, there are few people even in Southern Califoglia who compre- bend what a great work has been done.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION

Just when it seemed most proba ble where it was ready to begin the work of retaining the arid lands in the public domain, it is unfortunate that personal interests should awaken an tagonisms which seem destined 10 postpone the contamination of the end which earnest advocates of national development of irrigation for the pub lie domain have labored for during many years. Yet this possibility has been foreseen by careful and unpreju diced students of irrigation, and it is possibly just as well that the issue be fought out now and the principle be established that whatever is done shall be done for the prospective bona tide settlers seeking small farm homes.
 The fact cannot be disguised that the development of irrigation resources opens the possibility of great jobbery. That is not all objection to the policy of irrigation development, but it is sufficient to demand care in forestal- ing schemes of private corporations as we'll as of individuals to control public lands against the interest of settlers.
 On another page is printed state ment of the San Francisco Chronicle to the effect that the National Irriga- tion Association is supported and con- trolled by five railroads, which seek to take advantage of irrigation legisla- tion to get water for their lands. On the other hand there are charges that the irrigation bill before Congress was drawn in the interests of large live stock holders, who seek to monopolize land. It is unfortunately true that both of these charges have in them, to all appearances, at least some degree of truth, and the friends of irrigation $ solely project for creating homes for American people and thereby strengthening the country, will not deem it amiss to have the mask torn from all private interests.
 It is not necessarily against public policy that railroad lands should, un- der proper conditions, receive benefit from public irrigation works, the

Government to be reconpenSed by the railroads for the benefits received. It is in the interest of wise, Government that stock men should have their in- dustry advanced, as other industries aie to be advanced, by national irriga- tion works. But the American people do not want railroads to be given d further bonus in the form of irriga- tion works, nor do they want the pub lie lands subjected to monopoly by stockmen or others. And while this is the attitude of the entire disinterested public, the friends of irrigation cannot afford to allow their cause to be put in false light by the advocates of either railroad or live stock interests.
 In another place is given the Chron- icle's article on one side, and as d mat ter of justice all indictment of the the National Irrigation Association, published in the National Homeseeker, is appended hereto: < ,sA
 ''No true friend of western iuevelop- ment can contemplate this compromise committee bill without chagrin and humiliation.
 "No broad-minded eastern man who wants the whole country to grow and prosper, can contemplate it without disappointment and disgust.
 "ENery open and aNowed opponent of the national irrigation movement will hail it as a confirmation of the charge that the whole movement is scheme of spectators and land grab bers to loot the national Urea sury for selfish prIvate profit.
 "No one needs microscope to find the bugs in the bill. They are so plain that he who runs may read. They in vite and make certain the defeat of the mea sure.
 Every one must realize the utter uselessness of undertaking to build government reservoirs and canals to reclaim public land unless the land is reserved for actual bona fide settlers only.
 "This bill throws the door wide open and invites the scrip and desert-land spectators to enter and partake of the
