The closing Of Laguna dam
brings to @ successful Issue one
of the most difficult engineering
feats ever undertaken. The eyes
|of the engineering world have
been fixed upon this project since
its inception. and countless
prophets have never been able
to see anything but failure in the
attempt. Some weeks ago it
was closed, and it is now d suc-
cess in every particular.
The main. canal through which
the water will be carried to the
Yuma valley is yet TO be cut. II
will be carried down the Califor.
MIA side as far as the Southern
Pacific bridge at Yuma, below
which it will cross the river by
means of an inverted siphon.
This will supply $1,000 acres
of the Yuma valley. With the
construction of It pumping plant
all additional area of 80, 900 acres
Of mesa land around Yuma will
be reclaimed. The 2ow OF the
water through the main canal
will generate sufficient power to-
operate the contemplated pump
ing plant.
Probably it will be a-matter of
two years before bitches arc cut
on the Arizona side of the river
for the supply of the Gila valley,
which is about 1900 acres in
area. Laterals have already been
run on the California side for
the supply of the Fort Yuma In
dian reservation. This contains
IL, 600 acres.
About 1900 acres of this will
be open to homesteaders in lots
OF twenty acres in few months
A nominal price will be placed
on this land, to be paid in annual
installments covering @ period Of
ten years, and this money will
be turned over TO the Indian
branch Of this department.
Every Indian on the reserra.
ton has already been allotted
Eve acres of land. For each |
family of four Indians this gives !
d ranch of twenty acres, which |
IS all that one family can manage d!
On @ basis of intensive culture.
It is estimated that the water
,ax on land under this project |
will be about So 50 per acre u
year for ten years, by which
lime the government will have
collected every cent expended on
,he project. The wider the acre
lge participating in the use of
The system the less will be the
cost TO the water users.
The land in the Yuma and Gila
valleys is Of wonderful richness
ind agricultural conditions are
deal, particularly as TO climate. /
Incidentally, northern Yuma
county is developing one of the
greatest and most noted gold
districts In the world, aud it is a
question Of only a few months

opposed the constitution, to make the

the formulation Of the agricultural
schedule of the thirteenth census 50
that the questions to be asked by the
census enUmerators shall be easily
comprehended by the farmers Of the

ton ordered by congress to be ascer
tanned. At the same time these prac-
tical steps are being taken by the
census bureau. the farmers them
selves viii be called upon to help push
the statistical plow over the country
wide field Of farm data. II will be
suggested by Director Dnrand Of the
farmers that the work of securing ac-
curate returns at the coming census
of agriculture. which will be taken
April is. 1910 at the same time as the
count of population, will be greatly
facilitated If the farmers will keep
or provide some sort of written re-
cord Of their farm operation during
the year 1909. This effort to secure
the farmers personal cooperation is
but one Of a number of ways and
means chosen in the effort to secure
an accurate, expeditions and econom-
ical census concerning population, ag-
riculture, manufacture, mines and
quarries, which are the subjects Of
inquiry defined in the census law.
Great good, it is expected, will be
accomplished by getting into direct
contract and cooperation with the
farmers. Some of the instrumental
ties which will be used to reach him
and which promise practical results
are the state commissioners and state
boards Of agriculture, the state agri-
cultural colleges, the farmers unions,
the patrons of husbandry, the farm
ers' Institutes and the agricultural
experiment stations; in fact, all the
existing organizations for the educa-
tion betterment Of farmers, while the

Portland gateway case,' ~ a decis
ion rendered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission today requiring
railroads to sell through passenger
tickets between Seattle and other
points in the Pacific northwest and
eastern points via Portland Ore.
It is understood that it is the in
tention of the Northern Pacific, in
connection perhaps, with other roads
to carry the case into the courts with
view to obtaining an injunction tor
prevent the commission from quitting
its order into effect. Should such an
injunction be granted it would prevent
the enforcement of the order during
the period of the AlaskaYukon-Pa

timated that it would require many
for the courts finally to de
termine the case.

encourage us to believe that the move

to hope that reforms will be accom-
plished which will in time wipe out
much of the dishonor and disgrace
that makes Christian America con-
spicuous in permitting a laxity that
makes our record our shame Esil n 5s
There is strong sentiment yet
against the enactment of national
law regulating marriage and divorce;
owing to the jealousy of states to
preserve their rights. But the states
should seek the closest possible uni

tics: 40.
In 1887 the total number of divorces
granted was 27,91S, and in 1906, H.
O62. The total number granted in
twenty years was 945,625. Certain of
