IRRIGATION. Past and Present The rapid development of California has been the cause of much comment and wonder, but people in general, perhaps, do not realize how great a part irrigation has played in that development, particularly in Southern California. One of the most striking features of this development has been the transformation of desert tracts into garden cities. The intelligence, energy and enterprise, which have built up and made prosperous many of the Southern cities, would have been fruitless were it not for the fact that irrigation was made the foundation upon which to build. Modern irrigation has but recently reached such a state that its merits are recognized and general interest taken in it. In fact in 1871 there was hardly a book written on the subject, while now a collection of all the literature relating to it would constitute a large library. It is as a re-discovery, or a re-development of a lost art that we may consider irrigation as it exists to-day. Systems of irrigation are known to have existed under all of the great nations of antiquity, and in many parts of the world there are still found the remains of those ancient and in some instances prehistoric aqueducts and water courses. Egypt, under the same Pharoahs that built the pyramids and other great architectural works, became a network of canals and reservoirs. The first canal connecting the Red and Mediterranean seas was built as an irrigating canal. There were similar systems in China, India, Arabia and other parts of Asia. The reconstruction, by the Eaglish, of systems formerly in use has been one of the causes of the modern advancement of India. In ancient Europe the Romans did much toward spreading of irrigation, and wherever their conquests extended, they benefited the countries by the construction of substantial irrigation works, some of which exist even to-day in the valley of the Po in Northern Italy; also in France and Northern Spain. But Spain did comparatively little with irrigation until the time of the Moorish conquest. The Moors, having with them the arts and civilization of the Egyptians, founded systems of irrigation, particularly in Southern Spain, and to these most of the systems now in that country can be traced. A Pioneer's Danger. THE FEARFUL STRUGGLE OF AN EARLY SETTLER. How One of the Early Farmers in Michigan Overcame a Serious Difficulty—His Life of Hardships. From the Observer, Flushing, Mich. Frank Long who lives near Lennon, Mich., is one of the pioneer farmers of Venice township, Niswawe county, and by his industry and thrift in which many hardships were endured, he now has one of the best farms in that section. He tells an interesting story of when his life was in danger during his pioneer days. He says: "About November 1, 1894, on starting to get up from the dinner table, I was taken with a pain in my back, and found myself unable to move. The pain increased and spread over my entire body. I was obliged to take to my bed. The physician who was immediately summoned pronounced my case muscular weakness accompanied by lumbago. He gave me remedies and injected morphine into my arm to ease the pain." My disease however, gradually became worse until I thought that death would be a welcome release from my sufferings. I could not sleep but would lie awake all night and rush my leg. This continued for about four months. Besides my regular physician I also consulted another doctor but he gave me no encouragement and said his medicine could do me no good. I was finally induced through reading some accounts in the newspapers regarding the wonderful cure brought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, to try them which I did as a last resort. "I took the pills according to direction and soon began to notice an improvement in my condition." Before the first box was used I could get about the house though with great difficulty, but after using five boxes was entirely cured. "Since that time I have felt no return on the rheumatic pain. I am confident that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People saved my life and I try to induce my friend who are sick to try the same remedy." "I will gladly answer any question concerning my sickness and wonderful curse provided those who write enclose stamp for reply." "FRANK LONG." Sworn to before me at Venice, Mich., the 15th day of April, 1898. G.B. GOLDMUTH, Justice of the Peace. The cure of the sexiest cases of phantomism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People has occurred all over the land and its power in ordinary cases is proportionately greater. These numerous vegetable pills go directly to the seat of the trouble and exert a powerful influence in purifying and enriching the blood by eliminating spines our elements and renewing health forces. Many diseases long supposed by the medical profession to be incurable have vanished to the potent influence of these pills. This universal remedy is prescribed by physicians recommended by druggists, and everywhere used by a grateful public. effects of irrigation and all of the various methods in use may be noted in Southern California, where it has removed to a great extent an element of uncertainty in the business of horridulturists. There is now a movement on foot to obtain governmental aid in further irrigation. The proposition is that the Federal Government shall assist in the erection of extensive storage reservoirs, the construction of which would be impossible by private capital. guished opponent that ever existed viz., Mr. Joseph Call, whose office is at Bradbury block in Los Angeles city. Mr. Joseph Call is the ablest champion the people ever had as against tencroachments of the railroads up to the public domain. Before I ever announced my candidacy the Democratic and Republican papers of this State (notable among which were the Herald of Los Angeles and the Examiner of San Francisco). In ancient Europe the Romans did much toward spreading of irrigation, and wherever their conquests extended, they benefited the countries by the construction of substantial irrigation works, some of which exist even to-day in the valley of the Po in Northern Italy; also in France and Northern Spain. But Spain did comparatively little with irrigation until the time of the Moorish conquest. The Moors, having with them the arts and civilization of the Egyptians, founded systems of irrigation, particularly in Southern Spain, and to these most of the systems now used in that country can be traced. Irrigation was also a feature of the earlier civilizations upon the American continents. Under the Aztecs in Mexico and the Incas in Peru it reached a high degree of perfection. Prescott mentions the great aqueducts, tunnels and other water works of these early American people, and clites particularly the remains in Peru of a canal that was upward of two hundred miles long. In the Salt River valley, in Arizona, some engineers were recently running a grade line for a canal. Thinking to make use of topographical advantages, they followed what seemed to be a natural depression in the ground. They found, however, that for miles this depression followed a uniform grade, and from this and other evidences they concluded that at some time this must have been an irrigating canal. The discovery of similar canals at other places has led to the belief that much of the Southwestern part of the United States was once cultivated by some prehistoric people. When the Spaniards conquered Mexico they introduced their system of irrigating, and the Jesuits did much to spread irrigation among the Indians. Southern New Mexico was the first part of what is now the territory of the United States to receive such systems from the Jesuits; similar systems were brought into California by the Padres when the various missions were founded along the coast. One recent discovery of these earliest attempts was the unearthing in the mountains near San Diego of the old dam that had diverted water for the first of these mission settlements. It was covered with debris, but was in fairly good repair, though it had stood for a hundred years. But all these Spanish systems were rather crude and suitable only for little patches of ground, and it was left for modern times to again produce systems applicable to large tracts of land. The Mormons in Utah were the first to attempt this. Necessity was, in their case, the mother of invention; for, locating as they did, in the midst of the desert of Utah, it was with them irrigation or death, and as early as 1805 they had constructed many miles of canals. Then came the movement in California; and here have been worked out most of the problems that at first presented themselves, until irrigation has been reduced to a science. The practical value of irrigation has been demonstrated, not only in California and Utah, but in many other States west of the Mississippi and even in the northwestern territory of Canada. This development in the West has attracted the attention of European nations, and representatives from many of them have visited and inspected our methods, and it is interesting to note that on the steppes of Southern Russia systems are being established modeled upon our own. Electricity has become a factor in extending irrigation, through the operation of pumping plants, to lands otherwise beyond its benign influence. Such plants are now successfully operated in effects of irrigation and all of the various methods in use may be noted in Southern California, where it has removed to a great extent an element of uncertainty in the business of horizulturists. There is now a movement on foot to obtain governmental aid in furthering irrigation. The proposition is that the Federal Government shall assist in the erection of extensive storage reservoirs, the construction of which would be impossible by private capital. Irrigation has before it an assured future. It is not difficult for the prophet of to-day to look forward to the time when many arid districts of the West shall be the pride of thousands of inhabitants and truthful witnesses to the power and value of irrigation.—[Sunset] Declared His Intentions.

Electricity has become a factor in extending irrigation, through the operation of pumping plants, to lands otherwise beyond its benign influence. Such plants are now successfully operated in Riverside and other localities in California. At Riverside there are over 300 miles of irrigating canals and ditches which are fed from great impounding dam constructed in the San Bernardine mountains at an expense of many millions of dollars. Other important systems are maintained under the Hemet Dam, near San Jacinto, California; the Sweetwater Dam in San Diego County; the Modesto District Dam at La Grange, Stanislaus County, and also under immense canals in Kern and Fresno counties. Aside from these greater works, large areas in California are irrigated from artesian wells, from which, where there is not a natural flow, the water is raised by windmills, and, as before noted, by electricity.

The following letter on his attitude toward the Southern Pacific was written a few days ago by Mr. Gage, Republican candidate for Governor, to a friend in Los Angeles: 149 North Main Street, LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 16, 1898. J. W. Morris, Esq., box 177, Los Angeles city: If you thoroughly understood the situation, I desire that you may do so, you would understand that I made no changes whatever in this committee referred to. The committee that made the gallant fight for McKinley in 1896 from Los Angeles county consisted of the very same gentlemen complained of on this occasion, viz.: Osborne, Flint and Parker. If the gentlemen referred to were good enough to fight the battles of 1896 I am quite confident I am not subject to any criticism for having left them to participate in the present contest. Those men were named on the committee because of the fact that they were recommended to me by the man whom all California has done honor to on account of his noble services in that case, viz.: Major Frank McLaughlin of San Francisco. On Tuesday, November 7, 1876, I first commenced to speak my sentiments about the Southern Pacific company, contending that it had no right to go outside its legitimate sphere and embark upon political enterprises. If you will run back, you will see that is over one fifth of a century ago. The speech delivered on that occasion is to be found in the Los Angeles Daily Star of that date, and I have been consistent in my sentiments in that behalf ever since that time. In the case pending before the Supreme Court of the United States in the October term, 1892, cases Nos. 921-92 and 862-63, entitled "The United States vs. Southern Pacific Railroad et al." in common with my friend Joseph Call, I filed a brief in opposition to the petition for rehearing against that company and in behalf of the settlers of the State of California contesting the right of the Southern Pacific company to hold their land grant; and upon the points there referred to and advocated several million acres were turned over to the public domain. If any of the compiaining friends have any doubts in reference to my attitude toward the Southern Pacific Railroad company, I would most respectfully refer them to that man who has been the corporation's most distin A Beautiful Present In order to further introduce ELASTIC STARCH (Flat Iron Brand), the manufacturers, J.C.

She is a remarkably magnetic talker, and holds her audience with ease, while the religious influence she apparently exerts over the crowd is remarkable, as is evidenced by the large numbers of converts at all her meetings. When Miss Scott was asked the other day to partish partailans regarding her career and to tell why she became an evangelist, she said: "I was born in the suburbs of Glasgow, Scotland, in 1876. My grandfather on my father's side was a farmer in the north of Scotland, and he was recognized throughout the country as being one of the most godly men of his time. My mother comes from one of the oldest country families in Wightonshire, Scotland, and from her I have the blood of the old Scottish Covenanters in my veins. I was converted at a very early age and after finishing my education I, with my parents, came to America four years ago. Being brought up in the Presbyterian church from childhood, we united with the Bethesda Presbyterian church of Philadelphia. "A number of the ladies of the church, seeing my strong desire to become an evangelist, became very much interested in me, and they sent me to Colonel H. H. Hadley, in New York city. I remained in his great mission in East Forty-second street for some time, and after spending an enjoyable time with him in his great work I came back to Philadelphia. God helping me to come out as an evangelist in the Presbyterian church." Washington Widows. I like gratitude. I like to hear of grateful people, and an anecdote I heard recently of one Washington man has pleased me immensely. He has recently married the widow of a very wealthy gentleman, and on the proceeds of the transaction he has built a handsome house. When the house was finished and the moving into it was accomplished, the wife and her mother fell to discussing just where they should hang the portrait of the former husband. They had just decided to hang it in a small room on the second floor when the new husband came in and beard of the matter. "Hang him up stairs!" he said. "No, siree. No, siree. That man was my benefactor. I owe everything I have to him. He shall hang in the place of honor." And husband No. I now smiles down from over the mantel in the drawing room. But that makes me think of another Washington widow who has recently bestowed herself and her belongings on a second husband. "It’s so fortunate," said she to me. "My first husband’s last name began with a W, you know, and so does my second husband’s first name. All Mr. W.’s handkerchiefs are just the thing for Willie, and I haven’t even had to have the initial on them changed." — Washington Post.

I remained in his great mission in East Forty-second street for some time, and after spending an enjoyable time with him in his great work I came back to Philadelphia, God helping me to come out as an evangelist in the Presbyterian church. "As the church never had been open to woman before I knew the battle would be a hard one. I went and saw a number of ministers, and they did not seem very willing to let me in, but I held on, and one bright day Dr. Wilbur Chapman of Bethany mission (Mr. John Wanamaker's) sent for me to come and address an enormous meeting. "I went, and the Sunday school building was packed. That was my beginning. The first man in Philadelphia to open his pulpit to me was Dr. Andrew Jackson Sullivan of Trinity Presbyterian church, and I held a week's meetings with him last January, and on my last Sunday the church was packed to overflowing, and many souls were brought from darkness into light from his church. I have since been in other Presbyterian churches in Philadelphia and have always been favorably received." Deacon Jackson was a very pious but very determined old colored citizen of Owl Creek valley. He had a young mule which his boys were unable to ride, and their failure to break the animal so exasperated the old man that he determined to ride it himself. He was however, no sooner located on its back than he was thrown into an adjoining lot, where he was picked up with both legs broken and his neck badly sprained. "What on earth did such an old man as you mean by trying to ride a wild young mule like that?" asked the doctor.

FAMOUS SEA FIGHT. AGEMENT BETWEEN CHILEAN AND PERUVIAN IRONCLADS. Destruction of the Huascar Off the Chilean Coast — A Terrible Slaughter that a Fight Between Modern War Vessels Means. The Century Claude H. Wetmore an article on "A Famous Sea Battle," describing the engagement between Chilean and Peruvian ironclads at the coast of Bolivia in 1879. Mr. Wetmore says: From the first of the battle the enraging voice of Gran had come to men in the turret through the speak-tube from the conning tower, but then the Blanco crowded into the thick and great shot struck the Huas-sides as regularly as blows of a derring ram the orders of the com-der were no longer heard.
