Retaining Desert Lands

According to an official of the Geolog-
 ical Survey, in the three years since the
 Federal Government organized it's recla-
 nation service v miles of main rriga-
 tion canals of river size have been built,
 which, with others of smaller denomin- ations, constructed within the past twenty-five years, make total of irri- gation canals in the United States long enough to span the earth twice, and representing an outlay of $90,000, 900. Every year, we are told, the area reach ed by these canals returns a harvest valued at more than $l50000.00O, with a population of 100000 dwelling in harmony and contentment, where only a short time ago a wilderness or des- ert reigned. It is beyond question that no investment of government funds has yet yielded such large, immediate and satisfactory returns as the money ex- pended for irrigation purposes kinZ. the far west. No one. except those who have visited such sections of thekUnion as Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California can realize what ir- rigation has already done and what it's extension means for the future of these regions, where often for eight months of the year not drop of rain falls. Southern California-now one of the richest, most fertile and populous sec tions of the United States would be still, for the most part, an arid and un- inhabitable country were it not for it's vast systems or irrigation. The saying in all these regions that "water is life," has a significance elsewhere unknown. The federal government has adopted generous and far sighted policy in re- gard to reclamation projects; but it must expend ten times the amount thus far appropriated with surety of getting at least two dollars back within few years in permanent additions to the na- tion's whalth.-Leslie's Monthly.

Prosperity Of California

For many years General N r Chip man as chairman of committee and later as president of the state board of trade, has annually prepared a report ou the agricultural industries of the state, which has been about the sole re- liable source of information in regard to a good many of them. The railroad au- thorities seem to give General Chipman, Tor this purpose, a great deal of intorma- ton not generally accessible, and he makes good use of it It is only from the records of transportation that it is possible Go ascertain the volume of many of our products.
 The report for 1905, just made to the board of trade, shows that year to have been very prosperous one, and that our increasing population with it's ac conpauying development of our natural resources-especially water and oil-is made manifest by corresponding in- crease in production The shipments of fresh fruits exceeded those of any other year by l500 carloads Shipments of canned fruits have more than doubled since 1890. As compared with 1904 there were large gains last year in our output ot deciduous and citrus fruits, vegetables, canned fruits and wine and brandy. There was falling off in dried fruits, evidently owing to the short crop ot prunes and pears, and also in raisins
 There was large output of beet sug- ar, and, it might be added, the pros poets are for much larger acreage in l9O6. The most phenomenal increase, oi course, is in the output of mineral oil, which last year amounted to 35,676,000 barrels, which could have been lndefin- Itely increased if markets could have been found or pro6tably reached. There will certainly be an abundance of work tor the coming year, for, in addition to the regulaE increase of our agricultural industries, electyic and steam railroad will keep many thousand men constantly employed San Fran cisco Chronicle.

GOSPEL OF UNlONISM.
Labor Agitators Adopt Plan Of Saliva
ton Army

Chicago. July 17.-Drums and flags
drew a crowd Of spectators last night
to the strangest labor union meeting
ever held in Chicago. Under an arc
light at the corner of Thirty ninth
street and Cottage Grove avenue union
leaders alternately preached the gOs-
pei Of uniOnism, sang Industrial
songs in rag time and collected con-
tributions for the support of strikers
while a hundred or more onloOkers
narvelled at the new methods OF the
Chicago federation of labor.
1T was the first gospel meeting ar
ranged by the labor leaders of the city.
Those in charge of the meeting after
wards pronounced 1t a great success.
With the exception of the fact that
the union singers experienced some
competition from q Salvation army
band on the opposite corner the labor
crusaders suffered no interruption. The
labor 'tSalvationists, however took
advantage of the pauses In the rival
exercises.
Preceding the union gospel" pro-
gramme was a street parade in which
transparencies figured. The process
sion was led by a fife and drum corps
and the American flag. The marchers,
after traversing the streets in the
neighborhoOd mounted a platform
erected at-the Thirty street cor
ner where a stereOpticon lantern was
pressed into service to illustrate the
achievements of trades unions

A shipment of live stock via the Rock

Topeka, was the cause of tempest in
teapot Monday. The shipment con-
sisted of SO carloads of cattle and hogs.
Because of an order promulgated by
the Union Pacific railroad Saturday not
allowing further use of the new dou-
BILE track to Kansas City to the heavy
type engines in service on this division
on the Rock Island railroad. the live
stock shipment was held in Topeka
pending the arrival of lighter weight
engines which We're forwarded to To-
peka from a distant point
F. F. Strain. division freight agent
said this morning that the delay to the
stock was not sufficient to justify the
excitement which was stirred up about
it by local Humane society officers.
and that the delay brought about
through a chain of circumstances I'm
avoidable
las matter of fact" said Mr..
Strain, the stock was unloaded and
watered and fed at Herington. The
stock had been on the read from nine
to twelve hours when it was unloaded
at Herington. It was then on the road
nine or ten hours to Topeka. reaching
here about ? o'clock on Monday morn
ing. The shipment was delayed in To-
peka till about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. 1t went into Kansas City only
a trifie over the time allowed for stock
