 of fruits, vegetables, melons, etc. But even to concede the value to be only S42 50 per acre the reclamation of these lands gives an added valuation directly of nearly fifty million dollars.
 The average value per acre of irrigated crops in the United States in 190O was S14.81. This average is less than half the value of products of the average acre in Yuma valley, even today. Some of the valley ranchers have realized almost as much as that from one cutting of alfalfa, and the same land will produce five crops in a single season. But figuring the average acre product of that portion of the delta between Camp Mohave and the Mexican line at $50, (which is none too high), and we have the sum of S5O,O00, ,000 annually added to the wealth of the pro- ducers.
 Allowing 40 acres, the average size of irrigated farms in the United States, and the area re- ferred to would make p, ,OOO farms, and the occupants of these farms will add directly to the population of this section 125.OO0 and indirectly, in the accompanying mercantile, pro- fessional, manufacturing and in- dustrial classes, at least 5000 more. Who can say that Yuma, situated in the heart of this region of great promise, shall not aspire to the position of me- tropolis of the Colorado delta which means a city of no small proportions-say 50,OOO to 60, OOO-here on the banks of the turbid but useful and resource ful Rio Colorado?
 While it is true that reservoirs and immense dams will be costly, and conceding that some of the problems involved in these great reclamation schemes cannot be solved in a day, it is also true that the money thus expended will bring such wonderful results that when these fertile lands are once under the high state of pro ductiveness of which they are capable, the cost of the irriga- tion works will be shown to be a mere bagatelle in comparison with the enormous aggregate value of the products thus made possible.
 The Colorado delta lands will produce large crops in frequent succession, one following the other, as fast as they can be planted, grown and harvested.
 As result of the irrigation works recently completed in Egypt, the cotton crop alone is "worth over S60,O 100000 a year and the value of other crops raised is proportionally large, says the expert writer quoted above, and the great irrigation works which brought this about only cost for it's entire construc. tion S13,O00,O00. What is pos sible in the valley of the Nile is more than possible in the valley of the Colorado. What English and French engineers and ar impetuous Khedive required seventy years to bring to per. lection, can be accomplished by the United States government through it's American engineers in one-twentieth of that time And the results will be the mak. ing of thousands of homes fol American freemen-the peOpling and enriching of an empire.

| Address pr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. paratively infnitesmal propor- tions. Thomas H. Means, in charge of United States soils surveys, department of agricul- ture, writing on this subject in Forestry and Irrigation" says;
 'This barrage now permits perennial irrigation of all the land of Lower Egypt, makes cotton growing profitable and permits the growing of two and sometimes three crops where formerly but one crop could be grown. It has done away with hundreds of pumping plants formerly necessary, and has re- duced materially the annual cost Of cleaning canals. The actual value to Egypt is difficult to calculate. The cotton crop alone is worth over sixty million dollars year, and the value of the other crops raised is proportiOnally large. Taking everything into consid- eration, it seems probable that the barrage pays for itself several times over annually"
 The acreage that can be irri- gated by these irrigation works in the Nile valley, includes large tract of hitherto useless desert land; the number of acres is immaterial here. It is suffi- cient to know that the value ot the work to Egypt is so great as to be beyond computation.
 Now as to a comparison be- tween the Colorado river and the Nile with reference to the possible results of irrigation on an extensive scale:
 Both rivers are subject to an
 
 nual overfows, and the waters of both streams carry a large quantity of sediment rich in fer tilizing clements and almost free from alkaline salts. The Colo rado is the largest river in the arid region. Though similar in many characteristics to the Nile, unlike that great stream it has no natural lakes at or near its source, therefore the flow or volume of water is not so uni. form as that of it's Egyption par allel; but owing to the character of the country and the immense watershed drained of its melting snows and torrential rains, the Colorado furnishes an ample supply of water, and always when most needed the flow is the greatest. However, in order tC have a permanent supply fol irrigation throughout the year, storage reservoirs and dams will be necessary on the upper river, as well as a means of controlling the silt and prevent too rapid clogging of canals and laterals. These important features are now being investigated by g party of over one hundred gov ernment engineers, between Yuma and Camp Mohave, and the problems are to be solved by them.
 It has been estimated that there are nearly 100000 acres that may be irrigated from the Colorado, nearly or quite a mill ion lying in Arizona and Califor mia, between Camp Mohave and the Mexican boundary line. According to the government census for 1900 the average value of irrigated lands in the United States was S42. 50 per acre. Il will of course be conceded tha' the rich land in the Colorado delta will be vastly more valua ble than the average of irrigated land in the United StateS-frst because of it's wonderful fertili ty; second, the number of crops Qrom three to fve) that can bt harvested annually; third, the r-., lr1o !, ,lO ,.l1 1 ,.n5.tH1- of s1-nrOS, nr '

GREAT JAN AFTER THE OPERA.
Never Were So Many CarriaEes--Plper
There with a Plan for Handling THEM.


The crush OF carriages and people after
the opera was greater, 30 the police said
than on the opening night in any precec ing
year. But the police were there in large
numbers, and they handled things so ef-
fectively that there was even less con"
fusion and delay than usual In getting to
and from the carriages.
Early in the evening crowd began to
gather about the entrances to watch the
gorgeously gowned arrive. As policemen
kept the spectators moving, many OF them
crossed to the other side OF Broadway.
where they lined the curb from street to
street.
During the performance the carr lagos
were lined two abreast on Broadway.
through both side streets and down Seventh
avenue to Thirty-ffth street.
To avoid delay in getting their carriag ges
many Of the audience departed before the
performance closed. The curtain went
down on the last act AT il:i5, but 1t WIS
after midnight before the last Of the au-
dience had found their carriages,
Capt. Piper vas there early in the evening
and after looking over the situation had a
talk with Manager Conried He proposed
a new plan for Handling tho carriage qnes-
.ion which he believes will greatly expedite
the departure of the opera house patrons.
The new plan will probably be tried next
Wednesday evening.
