is AN INLAND SEA
Overflow From Colorado Flows Into a
LowIying Basin.

SALTON, Cal, March 29.-For the
second time within a quarter of a CEN
fury the desert wastes about Salton
have been transformed into a vast in
land lake. This part of the state for
many hudreds of square miles lies be-
low the level of the sea, and the flood
which is now pouring from the Colo
RADIO river near Yuma, 80 miles to the
southeast, threatens to drown a vast
area, much of which has been reclaim
ed by irrigation. 1t is thought there
is great dagger of the basin returning
permanently to it's ancient character
of an inland sea, rivaling that or
Utan's Great Salt Lake.
ing bitches of the Imperial Irrigating
company, near Yuma" said w. S. Te-
Wis, vice president of the Salt company,
About ten weeks ago they attempted
to scour out their main ditch, which
leads directly into the Colorado river.
They wished to avoid the cost of a
dredge, so they turned the current of
the river into it without taking the
precaution of building headgates or
providing means of controlling the
forces which they attempted to utilize.
The result is that the whole Colorado
river threatents to leave it's bed and
pour into the vast depression known
as the Salton sink. There is already
a great inland sea there, and every
day the water is rising"

In commenting upon the literary tri-
umphs Of Lew Wallace the Atlanta
Constitution says:
The motive for the great semireligious
story of "Ben-Hur' came to the author
after a straightforward talk with Inger-
soil on the subject of religion and the ex-
istence of God, and it was to refute his
doctrine and show the purely human prob
ability of a God man that the great nov
elist undertook the preparation OF the
wor,. that has been translated into al
most every known language.
The sale of the book Is said to be as
great as ever, twenty-five years after
its appearance. It's success was pine
nomenal in every way, the aggregate
sales reaching 100000 copies.

PEACE-BUT NOT FOR LONG

Peace once hath the world in her gentle en-
brace. If except a few such little affairs as our
state OF armed pacifcation in the Philippines, "the
drum throbs longer, and the battle flags lrled"
The dove that settled Portsmouth closed great
conflict and the nations in security and
quietude, 1t is to be hoped, goodwill.
How long will peace last? Not long, if the past be
the criterion of future Most of the time nation Is
at against nation and the battle
brief and seldom.
Who will believe that since 1897 there has been
almost constant warfare? Yet such the Four
great clashes have been fought in the eight years.
in the four great quarters of the earth-Amerca
Europe, Africa and Asia-not to mention minor
ficts; thousands of have been killed and millions
Of dollars have been expended. Yet the brief period
mentioned is of the least bloody in history.
Turkey and Greece began this last period
April II, 1897, they started for thirtyone days
fighting followed. Greece overwhelmed Russia
interviewed the treaty of Constantnople executed
December 4, 1897 and Greece paid $1S,0OOOOO
One year later April, 1885, the United States and
Spain fighting. OF course, Cuba and Spain had
been warning for years, but in desutory fashion We
fought from April rs to August 12 but it April H.
1899, before the fnalites were concluded And we
not only paid Spain $2O,O00,00O though we whipped
her, but got the Philippines. And the fighting there
isn't yet.
The Boer broke out October IL, 1899, and this
lasted till May 3O 1902 Britain spent 900 OOO
900 and lost 100000 killed and wounded men, The
Boer nation wiped from the map but cost that
staggered humanity"
Barring Philippine troubles and few such,
including the Boxer row. twenty months ntervened be-
fore another outbreak-that between Russia and Japan
This lasted and onehaf years, and even now its
conclusion only brings to greater notice the internal
revolts in Russia and the possibilities of rebellion in
Japan.
In eight years, at the close Of the nineteenth and
the beginning of the twentieth centuries, this sangunary
record is written Russia has been driven out of her
best possessions in the far east the Boer nation has
been obliteraed and Spain has been shorn of her col
ones while untold millions of money have been wasted
and uncounted thousands of lives have been wiped
out Once the sword is sheathed, but will it be
for long? The record of history shows that it will
rust from disuse

A LESSON IN TEMPERANCE

The Subway tavern the famous religious saloon in
New York, opened with prayer by Bishop Potter and
in attempt to combine and salvation has
ceased to exist 1t failed financially and morally has
been sold out and the proprietor proposes it
in the odfashioned saloon STYLE 1t will be reopened,
he says but not with prayer and the dedcatory hymn
will be that jovial toast to Gambrinus: Beer beer
glorious beer fill yourself clear up to here!"
Bold and brave the good bishops pur-
pose in fathering the Subway tavern, the is not
unexpected The design of the place fundamentally
awry, and 1t foredoomed to failure The thirsty
soul craving beer doesn't scrptural flavor
the who desires booze for temperance
with it. Gotham wants it's without the
alliteratve religion ecclesiastical frIs add to its
taste expedite its getting
Public opinion against this experimentation the
start New York is not noted for advocacy of prohibition
in any guse. 1t only tolerates saloons; it favors
them 1t is perfectly willing that these saloons shall
sell liquor they for that purpose no other
every one knows their mission and one is deceived
by them. If wants drink he goes saloon for
it, If he has no thirst to be satisfied he simply doesn't
go to a saloon at all. Least likely would he go there
with a desire for spiritual inspiration.
Hence now one Skidmore Is going to run the we'll
advertised Subway tavern a plain gnml, and re-
gion will spend some time in wping the stains from her
garb for mixing in"
There lesson in this Subway tavern failure It is
this: The way to curb intemperance is not through
such experimentation. Undoubtedly more land wo,
men, it catered especially to them) bought drinks in
the Subway tavern than will during the period
again, because curiosity drew them to it. Thus it de.
feated it's own object-as such attempts always will.
Law is necessary to restrain the liquor ev-to hold
it in check But you can't legislate morality let alone
spirituality into any The way to nculcare tenn
perance close the every carries between
his and his chn"-and every individual is a
separate distinct opportunity for the practice of this
sort of real, true and genuine temperance.

THE PROBLEM OF MORE SCHOOLS

Some very pointed remarks those made by Prof.
j. A. Foshay, superintendent of the Los Angeles schools
in The Herald yesterday. But in no respect will they
attract attention than showing how very small
sum would put the school department with the
cty's growth, and keep it there
Two mills the $10O tax valuation is all that Prof.
Foshay is required to do this The tax valuation is
supposedly only 40 per of the valuation That
reduces the two mills down to eghtenths of mill per
S1OO of real property valuean almost ninitesmal
in each individual case. If, for instance
$4,000 worth of property it is assessed at $4,000 On
this, mills $1OO would be only Surely the
sum is modest enough.
The trouble now is that Los Angeles waits till it
slips far behind with it's schools that buildings
are imperative. Then bonds issued, fought over
Sold and schoolhouses erected By this time the
increase of pupils is than enough occupy
additional room Before another bond issue be
sought and secured, conditions than ever.
"A mill building fund would accumulate enough
to give Los Angeles two three school buildings a
year. New would thus be normally provided for
the increase to be naturally expected. Certainly the
tax is 1nconsderable enough not to be unpopular and
the scheme sounds we'll Why not take steps to bring
about this solution of very pressing problem?

fuel, however, Is the basis of the entire
improvement, for neither Mr. Hunting
ton nor the other railway builders
could have accomplished what they
have done without it.
At the same time, residence property
is comparatively low and lots in the
business district, except in special
cases, are not held at exorbitant fig
ures. Lots in the residence districts,
fifty feet wide and $50 feet deep, in the
most fashionable quarters can be
bought for $125 a foot; in very good
sections they bring from $50 to SIS
foot, and in respectable but not fash
ionable streets from s25 to $50 foot.
Building is very rapid everywhere
throughout the city. A fringe of new
houses surrounds Los Angeles like a
circle. Most of them are inexpensive
wooden cottages and bungalows of ar
tistic design, almost always detached
and surrounded by gardens. Specula-
ton is chiefly confined to outlying ad-
ditions, ten, fifteen and twenty miles
from the courthouse.
Sites have been laid out for many
exclusive parks like those in st. Louis,
in which buyers are required to erect
residences of a certain style and cost,
and to beautify their grounds in GER
tain manner. There are already sew
eral Of them in the exclusive portion Of
the city, where the lawns, foliage and
flowers add greatly to the beauty OF
the scene. 1t will not be many years
before Los Angeles can take rank
among the most beautiful cities of the
world. The mildness of the climate and
the richness of the soil permit SEMI
tropical plants to thrive luxuriantly;
hedges of Gala lilies, fuchsias and ger
aniums, ten feet and more in height,
are found everywhere. Jasmine, tube
roses, heliotrope and other fragrant
plants grow into large trees; palms,
bananas, fig trees, pepper trees, lemon
orange, oleanders and magnoiias and
other trees of their nature thrive. The
people here do not have to wait eight
or ten years, as we do in the east, for
their shrubbery and shade trees to
reach maturity. Everything springs up
like magic, and many trees and vines
grow while the houses are being built
under them.
The architecture of Los Angeles
especially in the residence portion Of
the city-is picturesque, but with few
exceptions not ostentatious. Moorish
or mission STYLE with tiled courtyards
rooted with glass; is the favorite, and
some of it is fantastic. The most beau
tiful house have seen belongs to Paul
de Longpre, the king of flower painters,
as he has often been called. He has
Moorish villa at Hollywood, one of the
suburbs of Los Angeles, which is more
beautiful than anything in Morocco or
among the Moorish cities of Spain. 1t
Is surrounded by a garden such as You
will not see anywhere else-a perfect
jungle of flowers.
The greater number of the residences
upon the more fashionable streets have
not cost more than $4,000 or $25,OOO 1
have been told by good authority that
not more than a dozen houses in this
city exceed that figure. The great ma
jority Of those upon the fashionable
streets represent an investment of only
ten, twelve or fifteen thousand dollars
