PRosHESY COMES TRUE

The San Francisco Chronicle. In an
editorial under date of June "a, 1889.
said:
ut is the early orchardist that will
catch the cream OF the profits in the
fruit-growing business, and this Is not
alone because people are fruit hun.
CRY, but because of natural feeling
Of rivalry and emulation among pur-
chaseTs. There are plenty of people
who would really prefer to pay extrav-
agant prices for the first strawber-
ries or the first peaches, simply be-
cause they are the first rather than to
wait awhile until they get cheaper
and better, and this is the class for
whom the power of early fruit works.
1t may be q fad or foible. but it
serves a useful purpose, and we may
be sure that The producer of carly
fruit does not inquire too curiously in
to the motives which animate the pur-
chaser of his products.
"Some day California will have
formidable rival in this production Of
early fruit In Yuma, Arizona. Already
in many places in that territory they
raise grapes and figs which mature a
full month sarlier than the California
fruit, and by and by, when the water
problem is solved there, we need not
be at all surprised to find Arizona an
Eticipating Us in other fruits as we'll
But We shall not complain; California
has enough TO be proud OF without be-
ing jealous OF enYious il neighbor
has a little warmer sunshine than she
has, or a little drier atmosphere. We
can rejoice sincerely In the prosperity
Of Arizona, from whatever source it
may proceed"
That day has already been reached.
The phophesy Of the Chronicle has
come true. The Yuma Valley has
been sending to the market for sew
cral years nearly every kind OF veg
etable that can be produced in the
tSb ptHd'c HOhC, pcSiuSo 1ISS, dPliCOIS'
piums, aud most OF the semi-tropical
fruits, from two to four weeks earlier
than any Other section Of California,
or, for that matter, any state in TIE
Union.
Ii the past the quantity Of the pro-
ducts mentioned, has been compare
lively small but il has gradually in
creased from year to- year with the
growth OF the country ind irrigation
facilities. And wit:1 the completion OF
the government irrigation project,
which brings under cultivation, more
than 100000 acres, the volume of such
products will be vastly greater.

At Work On Hfain Canal.

Work has commenced on the main
canal from Laguua dam, under Resi-
dent Engineer Fiacent, who will re-
main in charge OF construction until
the rock work is completed. From the
Lsluice-gate on the California side of
the dam, for mile and II half down
through tbe reservation, the line Of
the main canal lies through rock hills
and sand dunes, making slow and diff
cult work. Two large steam shovels
will be employed to- excavate path,
and $50 men viii be employed. It will
probably take four months TO complete
this work on the California side.
On the Arizora side the main canal
has been dug through rock conditions
which extended one-euarseT OF Il mile
from the sluiceway, and the difficult
work OF the canal system for the upper
ella valley is completed.
The main canal of the project will
be buiit for distance of 4 ,rilc aEtt q
half below the darc, where connection
is made with the canal system for the
Indian reservation. Construction work
will then be confned to the completion
Of the reservation bitches, that they
may be completed for delivery OF water

At least forty rgiles of canal haye
been constructed, and many of the con

TO STRAIGHTEN THE KINKS
IN THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC

It rs rumored that the Southern Pa
cific Company will very shortly make
a distinct change in it's present route
from Yuma westward. As the track
runs now, after crossing the river it
makes big bend around to the south
west, winding in and out among the
lower foothills forming a scrpentine
route in climbing to the mesa. that
precludes speed without numerous &C
cidents.
AS we understand 1t, the road Is be
built straight across the reservation,
IN an air line, as nearly as possible to
Imperial Junction.
By the change several miles Will be
saved, as well as eliminating the
curves and some heavy grades en-
countered over the present route.

which is given that caused Baldwin t"

Baldwin, for be has driven out 20 the

cleanliness has been used in the Lincoln

which can be washed thoroughly every

WICKfRSHAM TALKS
ON INTERSTATE LAW
Attorney General Advocates Re-
forms to Aid Work of Com
merce Commission

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 19.-Modification
tain reasonable rates and fair practice
In the operation of interstate rail-
ways was suggested by Attorney Cen
eral George w. Wickersham In an ad-
dress tonight at the annual banquet Of
the Commercial club given in COM
memoration of the signing Of the John
jay commercial treaty.
Wickersham advocated a national in
corporation law and said that should
such law demonstrate its value 1t
might be wise ultimately to prohibit
state corporations from engaging in
interstate commerce.
ITO remove the commission from the
position OF prosecutor or litigant 1t is
proposed that all proceedings TO en-
force or defend orders of the interstate
commerce commission be conducted by
the department of justice" said Wick
ersham.
Further suggestions Of the president
are that the interstate commerce act
be amended as follows:
by providing that whenever a new
rate of classification is filed the COM
mission may by order postpone the
date when it Is to take effect, pro-
vided that within 80 days after the
date of such order (a) a complaint be
filed against such rate of classification,
or (b) the commission itself shall In
stitute an inquiry into the reasonable
ness of the rate or classification.
by providing that the commission
may suspend, modify or annul any
changes in regulations that impose un-
due burdens on shippers
BY providing that the commission
may proceed either on It's own motion
or upon complaint filed with 1t.
by specifically empowering the COM
mission on the application of one car
rier or of an individual or, at the in
stance of the commission itself. to
compel connecting carriers to unite in
forming a through route and in fixing
the rate and the apportionment thereof
among the carriers
by specifically empowering the COM
mission to prescribe regulations under
which shippers shall have the privilege
of designating the route over which
their shipments shall be carried
BY providing that no railroad COM
pany shall acquire stock in any COM
that no railroad company engaged in
interstate commerce shall hold stock
in competing railroad.
by providing that no railroad COM
pany engaged in interstate commerce
shall issue any additional stock or
bonds, except with the approval of the
commission, and for price not less
than par for stock, and not less than
the reasonable market value for
bonds"

Chinese Bond Issue, but
Terms Are Disputed

BERLIN, Nov. 1s.-Berlin and New
York bankers who are to participate
in the Hankow-Sze Chuen loan of
$4,000 600 adjusted their differences at
conferences held here Tuesday and
Wednesday with the Berlin fnanciers
and the attorney for warburs 81 Co..
Hamburg bankers, acting as agents for
the New York group.
The arrangement made is satisfac-
tory to the foreign ONCE and. 1t is pre-
sumed, will be satisfactory TO the
American state department.. One point
of Importance Is still the subject OF
cable exchanges. This has to do with
the interchangeability Of the bonds.
The Americans seemingly wish the
privilege of reselling their share out
side of their own country. while Euro
pean interests desire that the bonds
be sold only within the country IN
which they are originally taken.
A question OF some moment is still
open between Germans and the French
and English as to what portions of
the line Americans shall control to the
extent OF naming the chief engineer.
etc. A deadlock on this point is pos
sible, a both the British and German
groups are steadfastly holding to their
views Of equity.
