RECIAIMING DESERT LANDS

According to an address made a short time ago by c. J. Blanchard, the en- gineer of this service, and printed in the last number of the National Geo graphic Magazine, there has been in this country wrested from the desert in the last quarter of century crop producing area of 10000, 900 acres, or the equivalent of another state of Massachusetts. Irrigation canals long enough to reach twice around the world, these representing an outlay of S90, 900, 900, have been built, and each year the average harvest return in this irrigated land represents value of more than Sl50,000,0O0. While the great American desert, as it used to be called, is in some respects misnomer, it is none the less true that we have within the territory of the United States scores of millions of acres of land which because of the scarcity of rainfall are practically useless for agri- cultural purposes, and in many in stances even for pasturage. It is es- timated that the irreclaimable area of our arid lands is equal in extent to 1000, 900 acres. It is presumed that the average cost per acre of securing irrigation for this will be s30, hence the reclamation of the entire area would involve an expenditure of Sl, 50, ,OOOO, 900 or seven times the cost of the Panama canal

TO CUT A MELON

The house committe on public build- ings and grounds has practically deter mined on a general buildings bill carry ing some $l3,000,0O0 or $14,0OO, 900. This is the log-rolling measure so often alluded to in Washington dispatches. by means of which it is intended to re- ward the faithful and punish the re- calcitrant. Those members who have followed Speaker Cannon's lead and who promise to obey him in the future and blindly vote for administration measures may be given slice of this

A canvass made by the Fl Paso busi- ness mems committee for subscription to a fund for Young Mems Christian association building was successful beyond the expectations of it's most sanguine promoters. Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, with characteristic hberality, do- mated S5,000 and Miss Helen Gould a like amount. In all S6l, ,000 was sub scribed, whereas $500 was the sum originally asked for, citizens of Fl Paso giving one thousand dollars more than was expected to be received from all sources. The canvass is to be con tinued, in the expectation of increasing the fund to S75.0

Col. James. H. MooInitook Reappointed

The reappointment of Col. James H. McClintock as postmaster of Phoenix gives very general satisfaction in that city. Col. McClntock took charge of the Phoenix postoffice on April IA, 1902. During the first year of incumbency the income of the office was S26, ,964, the office being in the third grade of second class offices. This year the income will reach $36, 900 or more, making the of flee first grade second class office. Through Postmaster McClintock' eff forts the Phoenix office has been equip ped with the finest machines and de- vices known for handling mail matter and in Washington the management is given!the highest rating possible. Rur- al free delivery was also established during Col. McClintock s first tenn and the service is continually being enlarged and improved. It is expected that in another year the Phoenix postoffice will enter the first class.

Politics insNew York are getting into a highly mixed condition. The fright ened republicans are trying to "steal the democratic thunder" and hide their own delinquencies by inducing Inquisitor Hughes to accept their nom ination for governor. The Democratic club of the city has brought forward as its candidate D-Cady Herrick, who led Judge Parker 5O,OOO as the candidate for governor in 1904. And the "Hearst hippodrome" is touring the state in the interest of the candidacy of its organ izer and supporter, the only genuine universal reformer, enemy of the "money power" and advance agent of the millennium. The Tribune flippant- ly observes that with Hughes, Herrick and Hearst in the field, the state will be sure to "drop some of its IFS" next November.

Cannon's dic- tum are to be favored with any item for public building in their districts.
