GREAT AMERICAN WASTE.

The greatest and most disastrous
waste in the United States is of the
water supply.
For three months in the year the
Umatilla river runs full to the top Of
the banks, and nowhere along its en-
tire length. as yet, is there solitary
reservoir to catch and hold any por-
ton Of this immense volume for use
during the season of need.
All along the same stream, from
its fountain head to its mouth, lie
thousands Of acres of idle land, thirst
ing for draught Of this wasted water
CT the winter season.
In every city and state of the east
are hundreds of idle people, withou
homes, anxious to get out into the
freedom Of the country where they
may become self-supporting and inde
pendent. All that prevents them from
becoming useful and industrious citi
zeus is the short-sighted policy of th'
government, which until the last fou

HOW TO GET MORE CARS.


George H. Lorimer, the versatile
Philadelphia journalist, writes the
following timely solution of the car
shortage problem:
James ]. Hill thinks the railroads
should have at once 100000 miles
more tracks, additional cars and en-
gines in proportion to handle proper
ly the business that is offered
them. He doesn't see any chance of
their getting it. and he considers the
situation menace to the expansion
of trade.
In 10 years railroad tonnage has
increased 10 per cent, while miles of
track have increased only 90 per cent.
Prior to 1890 the roads were run
mainly by railroad men, and the in
crease of mileage on the whole was
rather more liberal than actually
needed.
The last 10 years roads have been
run mostly by financiers, and the first
effect of their domination has been
to stop competitive extension OF mile
age. Last year only 5000 miles of
new track were laid. against $4,000
in 1887. Congestion of traffic means
liberal dividends and high prices for
stocks. If it means a handicap to
commerce we do not see who is to
blame for it except the directors.
| Mr.. Hill wants to know where. to-
day. money could be found to build
the additional mileage that is needed.
His Great Northern stockholders
might do something toward answering
the question. for he has just distribut-
ed among them .melon"-in the
form of certificates of interest in the
ore lands recently leased to the Steel
Trust-which Is estimated to be worth
something over 100000, 900, or so per
! cent on the capital stock.
The stockholders already received
Z per cent in regular yearly dividends.
II the need of new track and cars is
so urgent, we should think the pro-
ceeds of the ore lease might very we'll
have been applied to meeting it.

REMOVE THE LUMBER TARIFF.

The Portland Oregonian, touched at
last by the oppression of the lumber
trust of the northwest, has demanded
the removal of the tariff on lumber
in order to give the American con-
sumner the benefit Of the vast Cane.
an lumber supply which ispractical-
ly untouched by the miller.
While lumber prices in the north
west have advanced beyond all reas-
enable limits, through the exacti az
of the trust, hundreds of millions of
feet of lumber in the Canadian for
ests and awaiting a market. The tar
lff maintained by the United States
prevents the introduction of this
idle supply into American markets.
The growth of cities, towns and
country settlements is hindered by the
oppression of the lumber trust, and
yet there is no escape from the op-
pressor. He controls the lumber sup
ply. You must buy of the trust or GO
without.
If the tariff were removed it would
open up to the American public the
vast untouched forests of that coun.
try and would stimulate building in
every part of the northwest.

LACK OF DISCIPLINE HIS RUIN.

The Salt Lake Herald discusses the
shooting CT ex-senator Brown of Utah,
hy Mrs. Bradley, in Washington. few
days ago in the following entertain
ing manner:
The pitiable tragedy in Washington
has been expected in this city, from
time to time. for three years past.
1t is most deplorable, but it is idle
to much discuss it. The victim was a
bright man. well educated and in some
lines OF his profession was one of the
most subtle of lawyers, but he was
never disciplined. From his boyhood
UP he never sought to restrain either
his appetites or passions, and his
sense of duty, in any pursuit of his,
was dormant. No steady principle
ever sustained or checked him and he
did not care what suffering or shame
to others followed his lawless acts, or
who was dragged down by them.
He had winsome, If coarse, virile
animal magnetism which was most
dangerous to ambitious, fervid and
credulons women, and he did not
know the meaning of the word pity.
What has come to him has been long
expected. We suspect that he himself
suspected it, but trusted to his luck
to escape.
He was greatly honored by this
state. His future, few years ago
seemed most bright in its possibilities
He had many friends, an ample for
tune, some marvellous gifts, but he
threw them all away. for he had one
enemy that was bound at last TO over
throw him, and that enemy was his
own undisciplined soul.

FIGS IN CALIFORNIA DESERT.

In no part of the world do figs at
tain greater perfection of size and fla
vor than at the oasis of Palm Springs
in the Colorado desert of southern
California. They ripen earlier than
elsewhere, and the hundreds of boxes
OF this fruit sent out annually by
whites and Indians, are eagerly sought
at fancy prices. Persian and Egyp-
tian dates are grown here, where the
climate is almost duplicate Of that
in their natural habitat. Oranges
lemons, peaches, plums, grapes, mel.
ons. vegetables and profusions OF
beautiful flowers grow luxuriantly. A
graceful desert willow circles velvet
meadows where scores of cattle
browse.-The Travel Magazine.

through any public movement ever
started in this city. Papers all over
