The Sacramento Valley Project

California papers recently published letter written by J. B. Iippinc"tt, supervising engine CT for California oI the United States Geol gical Survey, touching upon the intention of the government to construct works to irri- gate a large portion of the Sacramento valley, and reclaim hundreds of thous- ands of acres of land contiguous to tle river. In his letter, Mir. Iippincott says that the matter has attracted the attention of his department since 1895, daily records of tle flow of the Sacra- mentO river at Red Bluff have been kept, and the conclusion reached that the plan the government now has in mind 70 divert the waters of the river at Iron Canon, four miles above Red Bluff, to reclaim, irrigate and furnish electrical power for the Sacramento Valley is the most important project now under consideration by the gov ernment.
 MT. Lippincott has directed his en- gineers to survey and map that section and says: "I believe the Sacramento valley offers the greatest undeveloped opportunity in arid America, but also believe the problem involved in the reclamation is Ole of the most intricate and extensive that we have to deal with. believe it can be solved, and I hope the reclamation rervice will ma teriallv aid in it's solution.'
 Field parties will soon be sent out to investigate reservoir sites in connection with the proposed dam. Times.

Numerous complaints having been presented to the board regarding the c"rrals, they adopted all order noti. lying the owners and lessees of stables within the city limits to take the nec- essary steps toward abating the said nuisance, either by hauling the manure outside the city limits, or by bnrving or burning it. The order to take effect at once.
 In the matter of throwing garbage and sweepings into the public streets the same was condemned as a nuisance and an order addressed to all whom it may concern, notifying them to do all in their way to keep the streets clean by destroying all their garbage and waste matter either by burning or destroying the same.

 This action on the part of the City Health Board is timely and we believe will be met with hearty response from our people. We must clean up our city by cleaning out the garbage. both human and material.

WHY rs JAPAN BORROWINGS
Mystery of the New Loan-Theories as
to a Striking Change of Plan.

From the New York Evening Post.
That there is something of mystery about
Japan's new $l50000,O00 per cent loan,
announced this week. and to be brought out
shortly at London, Berlin and New York.
is generally admitted. The last loan of
$50, OO0, 900 was fioated a the end of last
March; the bulk of subscriptions were paid
only six weeks ago, and 1t was officially
stated. at the time of its issue, that 1t
would suffice for Japan's war requirements
during the rest of 1905. This was, indeed.
a reasonable supposition; for Japan has
raised, since the war began, sJ00, 900, 600
from public loans, In addition to which, as
its lately published government year book
shows. $1S7. 100000 has been appropriated
from increased taxes and other revenue
operations.
II the war has averaged 81 100000 daily,
this would cover period running close to
the end of the present calendar year. AS
a matter of fact. Japan has not yet drawn
heavily on the balances accruing from the
loan of three months ago. None of the
prior loans, issued at home or abroad. this
year or last, can be redeemed until 1907
therefore the new borrowing does not ap-
pear to be for redemption purposes. In
fact. the SuppositiOn as to redemption plans
has been that Japan would borrow. on her
public credit only, to take up the foreign
loans with a special lien on the revenue
a provision which has been rightly consid-
cred, by Japan. humiliating. Yet this
new s150,0OO,O00 loan again offers the to-
bacco monopoly as pledge.
There are several possible explanations.
The London theory seems to be that the
new loan Is designed to impress Russia
with the sight of Japans high credit, and
thereby hasten peace. Such a policy, regu-
larry practiced would lead to rather foolish
finance but it Is conceivable. 1t may be
that Japans agents have warned her that
the late autumn money market Will not DE
as favorable as the July disbursement
period" This would. however. hardly ex-
plain seemingly complete change of plan.
FINALLY If he alleged that JaDaD
needs more funds at home. and 1t is true
that gold coin in circulation in Japan de-
creased 70 per cent Last year, and that gold
reserved against the Bank of Japans large
ly increased note issues fell from $40, 6G0, 900
at the close of 1908 to IS, $3.50. 900 at the end
of 1904 But the edd fact in this connec-
ton is that Japan already has huge sums
to her credit in New York and London. yet
does not draw on them. How would she be
any better off II such balances were dou-
bied?
