1. My brethren, have not the faith of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, wi: h
! respect of persons.
2. For If there come into your assembly
a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel,
and there come in also a poor man in vile
raiment;
g. And We have respect to him that wear
eth the gay clothing, and say unto him.
"Sit thou here in a good place." and say to
the poor, STAND thou there. or sit here I'M
der my footstool;''
4. Are We not then partial in yourselves
and are become judges of evil thoughts?
s. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath
not God chosen the poor of this world rich
in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he
hath promised to them that love him?
g. But we have despised the poor. Do
not rich men Cypress you. and draw you be-
fore the judgment seats?
T. Do not they blaspheme that worthy
name by which We are called?
g. II ye fulfill the royal law according to
the Scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as myself. We do well
o. But If We have respect to persons. we
commit sin. and are convinced Of the law
as transgressors-

Work Now in Progress.
Nevada will soon have one OF the
largest and most comprehensive lrri-
cation systems in the world where
with to make its desert lands blossom
as the rose. Mr.. l.. II. Taylor. dis
trict engineer for the United States
Reclamation Service for Nevada, has
recently been in Washington and
reports the satisfactory progress of the
Truckee-Carson reclamation project,
of which he has immediate charge.
This project contemplates the utiliz-
alton of the waters of the Truckee
and Carson rivers for the irrigation OF
about 375. 900 acres of sage brush des-
ert In western Nevada. These lands
will furnish homesteads of about so
acres each for about 4.5O0 families. 1t
is expected that with the addition of
the towns and villages that will natu-
rally spring up in the district. the
population of the state will be In
creased in the next few years by at
least 10000 people.
Active construction Is now in prog
gress on a main canal about thirty-one
miles long, which is to divert the wat
ers of Truckee river to large storage
reservoir on the lower Carson river.
There the waters of the two streams
will be mingled and impounded, and
thence led out upon the plains in the
vicinity Of the Carson and Humboldt
Sink. Two contracts for the construc-
ton Of different divisions Of this canal
were made by the secretary Of the In
,,.ith and 7 rnn-
pany, and C. A Warren & Co., Cali

2Sth and September 2, 1903. respect
lively Ground was broken on Sep
tember II, 1903. and the work Is to be
finished by November OF the present
year. In the meantime. surveys for
the requisite system of distributing
canals are well under way, and the
department will be ready in the
spring to contract for their construc-
tion. This work will be followed by
the erection of dam which will form
the reservoir on the Carson river.
The reservoir will have total length
of about eighteen miles and will flood
over 10000 acres of land to an average
depth Of twenty-eight feet.
The lands to be irrigated by these
works aggregate about 100000 acres,
situated in the lower portions OF the
Truckee, Carson and Humboldt river
basins. In the upper valley of the
Truckee and Carson rivers some $4,000
acres OF additional land will be sup
piled from works to be constructed
some time in the future. AS these
great areas are gradually brought un-
der cultivation. and greater water
supply is required, ten additional res
ervoirs, including Lake Tahoe, are to
be added.

japanese Attack Described.

Chicago, March 13.-Captain Ma
sumura, who acted as signal officer
on the Mikasa, Admiral Togos flag
ship, during the first attack on Port
Arthur, February 9th, gives graphic
lstory of the fight in the Jill Shimpo,
Japan's most widely circulated news
paper, of February 18th. Copies of
the paper have just been received by
,Shezaburo ShimiZu, Japanese consul
for Chicago. The account by Captain
Matsumura is the first from a Jap
anese eye witness.
1.-The second class cruiser Chitose
and two other smaller vessels were
dispatched at a. M, February 9th,
toward Port Arthur to reconnoiter.
They reported sighting five of the en-
.emy's boats, who fired on them. The
fortress did not fire, so Admiral Togo
signaled:
"tAttack the main fleet at once
"As the Japanese fleet proceeded
toward Port Arthur there were met
coming out of the harbor Japanese
and a Russian merchantmen, the Man
churia. The Russian vessel was cap,
tured without firing shot.
AT IL a. M, at a distance of ten
knots from Port Arthur, one of the
enemy's scout boats was sighted and
two shots sent after it. 1t returned to
the harbor.
"Then the Japanese fleet formed in
fighting line and approached the har
bor. We saw the Russian men of wal
trying to get back under shelter of the
fort guns The Mikasa fired first and
then raised the attacking flag, the en-
emy answered. and the engagement
became general. The Russian shells
fell short. but the fire from the for
tress damaged the fleet slightly.
"Our men behaved splendidly. They
showed no excitement. We wished tc
continue the fire, but the shells from
the shore batteries were becoming
alarmingly close and we feared trouble
for the torpedo boats, SO the signal was
given to retire.
Our casualties in this first attack
on Port Arthur were: Killed two of
fcers, three non-commissioned officers
one man; seriously wounded, two of
ficers. one commissioned officer
-four midshipmen, and eighteen men;
slightly wounded. four officers, Eve
non-commissioned officers, and twenty
