NEW HAVEN. Conn, May 3O.-The retire
ment of Prof. William Henry Brewer
Norton professor of agriculture, the last
of the old school OF scientists at Yale,
leaves the field entirely to the younger
men.
As member of the first class ever
graduated from the Sheffield Scientific
School, in 1852. Prof. Brewers connection
with the university has covered over half
century. For the last forty years he has
been one OF the most famous scientists in
this country, and he is the last of the Yale
group Of great scientists that included
Dana, Silliman and Marsh to leave the
college. He will remain as professor emeri
tus. but his active connection with the
university will close with commence ment,
in June.
Prof. Brewers advancement in science
has been the result Of his own perseverance.
He was born in Poughkcepsie on Sept. IA.
1925 His father, who was a farmer, ex-
pected his son to succeed him. But as
young man the farmers son displayed
that faculty which has been prominent in
him through life. of absorbing everything
Of an educational nature that came his
way. He entered Yale with the frs class
in the Scientific School and was graduated
with George Jarvis Brush, LII. D., who
likewise came back to Yale as a pro-
feesor and served for nearly halfa century.
After leaving Yale young Mr.. Brewer
went abroad and studied at Heidelberg,
Munich and Paris. He studied agriculture
with Liebig and won high record for his
work on the Continent. He went to Eng
land when he had finished his studies in
Germany. and with friend waited for a

Of Prof Brewer in commenting on that
experience the other day said

It and trusted to walking home"
On his return to America Mr.. Brewer
taught in western New York State, where
he married In 1858 Angelina Jameson. who
died two years later. In 1880 he was chosen
professor Of chemistry and geology .at
Washington College. Pennsylvania. and
remained there two years. In 1898 he
went to California. as professor of chemistry
at the University of California. 1t was

When the writer was staying at that
place as a boy in July, 1891, he saw Lord
Salisbury-then Prime Minister of Eng
land-sitting down on box in a black
smiths shop in the village and helping the
blacksmith's little girl to mend broken
toy. Next week he entert aimed the Ger
man Emperor at Hatfield House.
Ten years afterward, on revisiting Hat
field, the writer asked an old vilager what
he thought Of Lord Salisbury.
Think Of him, sir?' was the reply. why!
he's the finest gentleman God ever made.
I don't know what We should do without
him. do believe he knows every soul in the
place by name. and he has never been too
busy to help any OF us when We have needed

woman. Her death was terrible bio "

A few months ago Lord Salisbury swayed
the deetinies Of the British Empire. To-

The Phoenix Democrat takes occa- sion to criticise Hon. Gus Williams. Graham county's representative in the legislative assembly, and accuses him of voting against all the measures proposed in the interests of the labor ing men of Arizona The Democrat was about the only paper in the terri tory to oppose the Cowan bill which proposed to take the immense fees from the territorial secretary and turn them into the territorial treasury After opposing a measure so plainly in the interest Of the people as was the Cowan bill, the Democrat is not in a position to charge any one with being false to the interests of the people. But the fact is that MT. Williams voted for the eigh-hour bill which seems to be quite satisfactory to the laboring men of the territory, and the only measure in which they were special y interested. Another thing that raises the ire of the Democrat towards Mir. Williams is because that gentleman was a hearty supported of the Cowan bill, and probed the secretary's office deep il the investigation of the amount of fees received by that off cer. If the report recommended by MT. Williams had been adopted. the people would have had more light on the facts as they existed. and the Dem ocrat would have been p'aced in a more unenviable light than it was. When a newspaper criticises a good man, the cause can always be attribut- ed to sore spot. which can easily be found if looked for.

COLORADO VALLEY.

California papers are now giving much attention to the Colorado valley, in pointing out the immense results that can be attained by national irri- gation. Some interesting facts in re gard to conditions down there were brought out at a recent luncheon in Los Angeles of the executive com nlittee of the Southern California sec. ton of the National Irrigation con, gress, at which a govrnment official named Perkins, who is fresh from the field of national irrigation on the Col orado river, where over one hundred government surveyors are constantly employed. gave some interesting par ticulars in regard to the possibilities Of reclamation in that section.
 Mir. Perkins showed that there is al immense body of land susceptible oi irrigation in the Colorado river valley fully 150.000 acres above The Needles, that is suitable for alfalfa and other forage crops nd a still larger tract y,arther down the stream. It has been estimated that altogether there re over 500.O .OOO acres on the American side of the border suscepti- ble Of reclamation, which would make the best of cultivable lands. The territory thus referred to is indepen- dent of the Imperial lands, and of those adjacent in Mexican territory. Taking in the whole course of the river to it's mouth there are believed to be between two and three million acres that may be reclaimed.
 The Los Angeles Times estimates that on that soil of wonderful fertility, wtc~e crops grow up like Jacks bean stalk, twenty acres is ample to sup port a fami.y-indeed, is all that an active man can properly take care of if devoted to intensive culture. Els timating 2,500,000 acres as available between The Needles and the mouth of the Colorado river, and allowing twenty acres to each family, and an average of five persons to the family, this would afford room for 625, 900 persons, not including those who would not be engaged in the cultiva ton of the soil.
 The above only refers to what the government may accomplish by divert ing the waters of the Colorado river to the lands lying or the California side. On the Arizona side of the Colorado river also are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land which may be reclaimed as easily as that on the Colorado side.
 Besides this. the Salt. Gila and San Pedro rivers will irrigate enough land when the waters of these streams are reservoired by the government. sufi eient to maintain and give comforta ble and prosperous homes to mill ion people.

SOME TOMMY ROT.

A dispatch from Washington print ed last Monday in the Los Angeles Times indicates that the trusts were growing very jealous of each other, and that the Presidents close friend ship and intimacy with J. Pierpont Morgan has aroused the enmity of the ller-Gould-Harriman interests. It is said that the Rocekefellers have believed all alongthat Morgan's acqui- essence in the antitrust legislation of the recent session of congress was meant to be unfriendly to the Standard Oil interests. and the rivalry existing between the two powerful financial factions is reflected at Washington now in certain developments parties, out interest to both political parties. The President, it is said. is now con- vinced of the hostility of Rockefeller, Gould and Hartman, and that he is advised to retire Mark Hanna from the head of the national committee and put trusted friend there who can be depended upon and who will not throw him down.
 It is all vel enough for republican papers to be telegraphing reports over the county that the trusts are fighting the President. and that the President will have Mark Hanna, the known friend of the trusts, deposed from his present commanding position as chair man of the national republican com, mittee, but few will be silly enough to take any stock in such reports.
 It is true that President Roosevelt did considerable antitrust talking dur. ing the campaign last year; 1t is also true that he indulged iu some talk about needed reductions in the tariff but it is equally true that his message to congress last fall was extremely weak, and only the most vague sugges tions were made, and they were ac companied by apology and warning that whatever was done or undertaken to be done should not seek to harm the industrial conditions" of tha | country.
 Another thing, whenever MT Roose welt undertakes to depose Mark Han na, he vii be thrown higher than Gil roy's kite. Mark Hanna may consent to the nomination of Roosevelt, pro vided that the trusts do not decide otherwise, but when the administra tion entertains the opinion that it is bigger than the Ohio Boss, there will be serious trouble.
 The republican party is completely | dominated by the trusts. and if MT Roosevelt is nominated it will be by order of the trusts, who think they have tanned him from a strenuou; leader to a meek and lowly follower
 The public need not expect. how ever. that the trusts will antagonize the President until the President an tagonizes the trusts. and this tn, l President has not done

A National Astonisher.

Every man who returns from a residence in Alaska is convinced of two things; one that the section with which he becomes familiar has undreamed-of possibilities in agri- culture and other resources as we'll as mining; the other that the thing most needed for developing this potential wealth is the building of railroads. The actual opening up of Alaska is going to prodnce q more profound national effect and add immensely more to the wealth of the country and the oppor- tunities of it's people than did the rush to the section west of the Mississippi river, as soon as the railroads made it accessible" The Seattle P. l. in the foregoing might have mentioned our petro- leum prospects, which promise to exceed in product almost every thing else.
