Schmltz 0usted from MayoraIty.

San Francisco, June 21.--Mayor
Schmitz was formerly removed from
office Gy the supervisors at their
meeting. Supervisor James Gala
CHER was named as acting mayor in
his place.
This is the first step taken by the
graft prosecution in the execution of
the plan TO restore good government
in San Francisco. The ground on
which Mayor Schmitz was removed
is that, owing to his Incarceration in
the county Jail following his convic-
ton in a felony charge, he is no
longer able to perform his official du-
ties.

An Indian scalps his enemy: a
white man skins his friend.
And the man who sells parasols is
engaged in shady business.
Kisses that are to be had for the

A fool can answer questions that a

Improvement Of Our Arid Regions.

According to official figures, since
the reclamation law was enacted by
Congress in 1902, eight towns have
been built and 10000 people have
settled on what were desert lands.
TO prepare the way for these settlers
100 miles of branch railways have
been built, 1857 miles of canals have
been dug, many of which oarry
whole rivers, and At tunnels have
been excavated. It is estimated that
the territory embraced in what is
known as the arid regions of the
United States covers 600,00O,000
acres, of which about 60,OOO,O0O
acres are subject to irrigation, which,
when properly supplied with water,
can be converted into farms fully
as productive as lands in the most
favored sections. A bill was intro.
duced in Congress at the last session
for the purpose of reclaiming over
flowed and swamp lands in Arkan-
sas, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
New Jersey, North Carolina, South
Carolina and other States, and those
back of it say that it will be pushed
at the next session. The member
who offered this measure roughly
estimates the amount of overfowed
and swamp lands to be reclaimed at
50,C0O,0O0 acres, the reclamation of
which would increase the land value
more than $5,o0O,O00,OOO, the annual
crop value $1,50O,000,O0O, and if
sub-divided into forty-aor. farms,
would supply 2,500,000 families with
homes and put 100000 people on
lands now practically worthless.
