sCBTRoPICAL CLIMATE.

All Of the land that can be irrigated from the lower Colorado may be regarded hav- ing Semi-tropica! climate, where the grow ing season for most products continues the year rOund-the requirements for water, how ever, being greater in the summer season than in the winter. It is here assumed that the maximum use In July will be :wice as great as the minimum requirements in January; and that a stream with the ma ximum flow of two cubic feet per second in July, furnishing about 1000 acre-feet per annum, will supply 200 acres Of land.
 It is probable that with proper regulation the Colorado river will be able to furnish a continuous stream Of water for industrial uses, varying from l0,G00 cubic feet per second in winter 10 10000 cubic feet per second in summer, in years Of smallest discharge, al- lowing the great floods of wet years to sweep to the as at present. This will be Sufii- cient to irrigate 2,0OO,00O acres of land, and is so far in excess of the requirements DeiGw the Grand Canyon that no restriction need to be put upon storage and diversion Of waters from the tributaries of the Colorado.
 A considerable portion Of the valleys of the lower Colorado consists Of sandy flood plains subject to occasional inundations, and rough, gravelly foothills with soil unsuitable for cul- tivation. There are also considerable areas of sand dunes, and some tracts rendered bar ren by alkali. All these it is proposed to re- claim by impOunding upon them the silt which annually passes down the Colorado river

COLLEGE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Registration of Students on Opening
Day Was Larger Than That OF
Many Older Schools in the
State.

The Dallas College authorities are
very much pleased with the outlook
for successful years work. The
attendance at this time is 25 per cent
larger than that Of the corresponding
week Of last year. Many new students
have registered, and quite a number
of the old as we'll as the new have not
reported.
The work Of classifying the school
is much more satisfactory from year
to year, and the members Of the faculty
are able to confine their work to their
respective departments. Glasses are
now organized in all four years of the
studies Of the College curriculum.
The new department in Expression
is well supported and bids fair to add
much to the interest Of the school.
Miss Parrish, the teacher in this de-
partment, is ready to arrange with
private pupils, and can be seen at her
rooms on the first floor of the dormi-
tory each afternoon from l AS to 4
P. m.
The Athletic Association is arrang-
ing to begin the regular class work.
All students, unless physically dis
abled, or excused, will be expected to
take physical culture III class work
this year. Arrangements will be made
for the class to meet from S:l5 to 4

WOULD ABOLISH RESERVES
Senator c. w. Fulton Will Make
Strong Fight for Repeal of Law
Authorizing Their Creation.

In recent letter to the Oregonian,
Senator Charles w. Fulton, in his
vigorous and mastery way, gives his
view on the question Of the forest re-
serve policy of the interior depart
ment. The senator points out the
great disadvantage the state Of Ore
gon would be under, should the con-
templated enormous reserves be made
permanent, and believes that the
present law authorizing the creation
Of forest reserves should be repealed.
In clear and concise manner, he
points out how the creation OF these
reserves are calculated to invite and
protect the perpetrator Of frauds, and
charges that the information of the
proposed Withdrawals leaked out from
Washington to the advantage Of
speculators and dealers in lieu land.
Organized land grant companies have
largely protited by the forest reserves,
while the public and government
loSC Dy tneIn. Inc senator's views on
the question oughtto make interesting
reading for the interior department.
With one-fourth Of the area OF the
state Of Oregon withdrawn from settle
ment and placed in reserves, the
growth in wealth and population Of
the commonwealth will be most
seriously retarded. The timber, min
ing, pastoral and agricultural inter-
6sts Of the state will be seriously
affected by the permanent with
drawals, and the people of the state
ought to arouse to the Importance Of
the question and protest as vigorously
as the Oregon delegation is doing
against the unwise policy.
