EULoGY OF DECEASED JURIsT.
Justice Hagner's Tribute to the Mem
orv of Judge Cranch.

A sketch of Judge William Cranch, for
many years on the bench of the District in
the early period of its history, was read last
evening by Justice A. B. Hagner in the as
sembly hall of the George Washington Uni
versity. An audience representative OF the
bar of the District and of the older resi-
dents heard with pleasure and interest the
graphic recital of a life that was not only
heightened beyond the usual span, but
which was marked by acts that distinguish
ed 1t not only in the legal profession, but in
the walks of private life.
The paper was read at the request of the
Bar Association of the District, and the
president of that body, Mr. William F. Mat
tingly occupied seat on the platform. Mr..
]. Hubley Ashton, chairman of the Bar As
ISOLATION committee appointed to arrange
for the meeting, presided and introduced
Justice Hagner with appropriate remarks.
In addition to a summary of the main
facts of the life of the distinguished jurist,
Justice Hagner gave a spirited pen picture
of Judge Cranch, and also an analysis of
his legal decisions, and especially a notable
one, in which the right of the District
court to issue a writ of mandamus was
maintained. This sketch of the life and
services of Judge Cranch was prepared by
Judge Hagner at the request of the dean
of the University of Pennsylvania.
The committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the meeting as appointed by the
Bar Association consisted of j. Hubley
Ashton, w. F. Mattingiy. D. w. Baker,
Clarence Wilson and John B. Larner.

explain what had happened in this out-of-
the-way corner of the map.
Tapping the River.
In 1900 keen-eycd business men came to
the rich Imperial valley in southern Cali
fornia. The valley was once an arm of
the California gulf. 1t is now solid, rich
earth, brought down by the Colorado The
sun has evaporated ALL the water. 1t lies
hundreds of feet below sea level. Water

valley of the Nile, for the Colorado. river,

down by the Colorado. This valleys soil is
the richest in the world. for the valley Is
the old delta of the Colorado 1t is 300 feet
below sea level Capitalists dug their canal
which has broken its banks and now this
great valley is filling up rapidly. Unless the
break in the canal is repaired within nine
months government experts say, instead
of a. rich valley there will be a lake equal
ing in size the great lakes.
Lake Sixty Miles Long.
Already a couple of towns and miles of
Southern Pacific ra road tracks have been
wiped out. Eight thousand persons face the
loss of their all. A great lake, Salton sea-
has been created, sixty miles in length, in
the deepest part of the valley, where the
water has first flowed. This great sea is
growing daily The waters threaten to en-
