VALLEY OF THE COLORADO.

VALLEY OF THE COLORADO.
 A short time ago the Times
 commented upon the striking
 similarity between the Colorado
 river valley and thato the Nile,
 and suggested that before long
 a dense population would inhab-
 it the section lying between the
 Needles and the mouth of the Colorado river. Some interest
 ing facts in regard to conditions
 down there were brought out at
 luncheon held in Los Angeles on
 Thursday by the executive com
 mittee of the Southern Califor
 mia section of the National Irri-
 gation association, at which a
 government official named Per
 kins, who is fresh from the tielG
 of national irrigation on the Col
 OradO river, where over one hun
 dred government surveyors are
 constantly employed, gave some
 interesting particulars in regard
 to the possibilities of reclama
 ton in that section.
 MT. Perkins showed that there
 is an immense body of land sus ceptible of irrigation in the Col orado river valley-fully 150, GOO acres above Needles that is suitable for alfalfa and other for age crops, and still larger tracts further down stream. It has been estimated that altogether there over 800, ,O00 acres on the American side of the border Sus- ceptible of reclamation which would make the best of cultiva- ble lands. The territory thus referred to is independent of the Imperial lands and of those ad- jacent in Mexican territory. Ia king in the whole course of the river to it's mouth there are be- lieved to be between two and three million acres that may be reclaimed.
 On that soil of wonderful fer tility, where crops grow up like Jacks bean stalk, twenty acres | is ample to support a family is all that an active man ] can properly take care of, if de- voted to intensive culture. Els | 2,500,000 acres as avail able betwe 1n Needles and the | mouth of the Colorado river, and | twenty acres to each family and an average of five persons to the family, this would afford room for 625, ,OO0 persons; or, including those who would not be engaged in the cultivation of the soil, at least three-quar- terS of a million people in the territory directly tributary to Los Angeles.
 It is scarcely necessary to en- large upon the importance of such a development to the busi- lcSs interests of this city. The only cloud in the bright horizon appears to be the possibility of | conflict between the United States and the Mexican govern nent in regard to the diversion )f water from the Colorado, on recount of possible interference I Fith the navigability of the itrcam. $
 In view of the vast importance 'f this enterprise to Los Angeles Our people should, as MT. Max < we'll has pointed out, take a ively interest in aiding to defeat | he selfish schemes of men who would place obstacles in the way 'f the governments beneicent i; policy of national irrigation. e -cS Angeles Times. i

Little flower girls may be clad In gowns
