When springtime comes and the vast

Modern irrigation also embraces the
subject of drainage, and, conversely.
vast drainage project contemplates the
construction of the most scientific irri-
cation works. Irrigation and drainage
when exactly considered are terms of
opposite meaning, but now they go
hand in hand in the work Of the prac-
teal and scientific irrigator. Thus, in
the great Sacramento valley the prob
lens Of irrigation, reclamation, drain
t age and navigation are closely ascot
t ated, and each is practically dependent
upon the other for the fulness OF the re-
suit.
The plan of the United States engi-
neers who have the reclamation Of the
Sacramento valley in charge contem-
plates the erection of seven large irri-
cation works, or units, in the higher
portions Of the Sacramento valley. Sur
veys for these have already been made
and the work will be carried out under
the provisions of the national re clama-
the department Of the interior. The

"Some tiny pinholes, thru which the

the craft lay there, and. during that

the strangest feast that man had ever

the operators took their stations to

CHINESE BLOCKING
INTO OLD MEXICO.
CONFINEMENT AND PROSPERITY
AWAIT THEM THERE.
They Are Badly Needed for Their
Labor and the Big Contractors Use.
Quantities of Them-Peru About to-.
Shut Out the Celestials. :
Mexican Herald.

Waa Hong, a prominent Chinese gem
tleman, who is thoroly in touch with
affairs in China and with the CONNER
cial transactions going on between that
nation and foreign countries, said that
the attention Of China is now being
turned to Mexico and that he knew for I
certain that from now on the China
Steamship Company would bring hun
dreds of Chinese monthly from the dis
trict of Canton to Mexico. One of the
reasons why more Chinese will come
to this country is that many Chinese,
on being shut out of the United States,
came here and found that they We're
treated much better in Mexico than IN
almost any other country. In addition
to this they can make a living here
easier than in most other countries, If
certain parts Of South America be ex-.
cepted. Another reason is that there is
now a tendency in certain South Amer
lean countries to treat the Chinese as
they are now being treated in
the United States. It seems almost cer-5
tain that it will not be long before the
Chinese will be shut out of Peru, the
country in South America to which they
have taken the most liking. Should this
happen soon it will turn to this coun-
try the great stream of Chinese which
is now pouring into Peru.
But in Mexico conditions are quite
different. Here the Chinese are needed
very much as laborers. The Chinaman
is Of very independent character, and
he is not tied to any one spot by bonds
of kinship> or sentiment. He will go
wherever he finds most pay for his
work. Contractors, farmers and factory
owners who are badly in need Of labor
ers will go far and pay more than the
average wage if they can get the men
they need. Big contractors are willing
to pay higher wages in order to finish
I'D their contracts soon and take others.
Thus the coming of the Chinese to Mex
leo means exactly the opposite to the
laborer here to what it does to the
laborer in the United States. Here the
Chinaman is the one who raises the
price of labor. This explains why the
Chinaman in Mexico is not looked down
upon by the laboring class.
