AL the lands dependent upon it, as
single whole. Even such comparative
~ small Californian streams as the
Kings, the Kern, the San joaquin, the

managed by any weaker agency than
the State, and when it comes to the
exploitation of such rivers as the Mis-

the Rio Grande no power short of the

A NEW EMPIRE.
The Conquest of the Desert by Nation
al Irrigation.

After a quarter of a century of agi-
launched upon the reclamation of the
arid region by government enterprise.
Lands worth three times the amount of
the national debt and capable of sup
porting 50.000,000 people in comfort will
be wrested from the desert, and the
same process that will rescue soma
regions from drought will rescue others
from flood
There is a general disposition in the
East to ask why the government should
concern itself with such a matter as
this. Why should it not leave the
farmers in the arid regions to look af-
ter their own affairs as the farmers in
other regions doc Perhaps an account
of some personal experiences may
throw little light en- this question.
In the early eighties study of Nord-
hoff's seductive book on California con-
WINGED me that the creation of irrigated
orchards and vineyards in the San Joa
quin valley was the most direct and
certain route to the position of a null
ti-milionaire. The figures were irre-
futable. Good land, with water rights
could be bought for $50 an acre. In
four years, when the trees and vines
came into bearing, they would return
$500 per acre net annual profit. and the
land would be worth at least $1,000. A
years profits from $50 acres would ba
$4,000. which would buy thousand
acres of fresh lard. This process could
be repeated every year. In another four
years there would be 1850 acres in
bearing, which would bring in n clear
profit Of $4,000. In ten Years from

About Canoes.

Before the discovery of onyx as the
material specially adapted for cameo
cutting the ancients cut them on soft
stones. egg shells and other materials.
The Greco-Roman, and especially the
AuSustan, period was rich in canoes,
and almost every great Roman wished
to have his portrait cut in onyx. One
Of these, an exquisite portrait of EN-
peror Augustus Caesar himself, is per-
haps the finest existing cameo. Such
portrait canoes We're practically indie
Structible, except by accident Some
large cameos-the Triumph of Boo
chus" ut the Vatican, the Agate de
There" at Paris and the "Gemma Au-
gesten" at Vienna-are splendid works
of art
There was a change from the CLASH
cal and NEUROLOGICAL designs of Greco
Roman times to Christian themes in
the fourth century, when Constantine
the Great became a Christian, and it is

destruction by being called the "Tri-

AtAlhe renaissance classical art re-
covered its lost position. Renaissance

men but in spite of their general high
level they did not succeed in making
any very important cameo, although
the 'Hymeneal Procession of Eros and
