It Did Not Materialize, Sad to Relate, but the Tall Continues to Wag. EDITOR GAZETTE. — I would like through your columns to express some thoughts that I know to be in the minds of quite a number of people in this community. There is among us a great, glaring evil in connection with some local journalism. It appears in the form of reckless, bitter criticism of men and things. Fair, honest, competent criticism is very desirable, and may do good service; but the sort of thing we are having thrust upon us is simply disgraceful. Truth, courtesy, fairness, seem to be unknown quantities to the writers in question. See, among other things, the recent statement about a well-known and honored minister and his wife, who live in Orange. The writers of the offensive articles are not worthy to carry their shoes. It is bad enough to ape the humorous and try to be sensational; but when resort is had to falsehood, the perpetrator of the deed proves himself a mischief maker, and dangerous to the community where he operates. A little fair inquiry could have found the truth, if that had been wanted. A sort of mental jaundice leads to unreasonable attacks and violent condemnations. The use of nicknames and vulgar epithets seeks to belittle and injure the objects of attack. The calling of outrageous names does not make the objects of spite what the names indicate, but it does show what the user is capable of: it tells what are his resources; it shows his familiarity with the low, base, contemptible. Such doings are all the more pitiful when they appear in connection with loud claims to su- RECLAIM ARID LANDS. A Vast Territory Capable of Supporting a Dense and Prosperous Population. Look at the map of the United States. The western half of it is an arid region, with a fringe of humid country on the shores of the Pacific, and here and there as oasis where irrigation has claimed the desert. And yet this vast territory would, if reclaimed, support a dense and prosperous population greater in numbers than the entire population of the whole United States today. The enormous opportunities for increased home markets for our manufacturers and opportunities for home seekers which its reclamation would create make it worth the while of every manufacturer who wants markets, every wage-carner who wants work, every merchant who wants trade, every transportation company that wants traffic, and every man in America who wants a home on the land, to grapple with this great problem, and make the conquest of arid America the greatest victory of peace which this generation will accomplish. For many years the development of the West has been retarded because there was absolutely no policy or legal system adapted to the utilization or administration or disposition of the vast area of public lands in the arid region. The immensity of this great domain may be conceived when we take into consideration that the area of public land not taxable comprises 76 per cent of the whole surface area of Arizona, 57 per cent of California, 64 per cent of Colorado, 89 per cent of Idaho, 78 per cent of Montana, 95 per cent of Nevada, 69 per cent of New Mexico, 81 per cent of Utah and 85 per cent of Wyoming. "Let us then see," said Geo. H. Maxwell of San Francisco at the recent session of the trans-Mississippi congress at follow the opening to settlement on every tract so reclaimed. "Money paid by the government for labor would come back to pay for land. Men wanting homes would seek their employment to get money to buy their land. "(b) Federal storage reservoirs save the waters which now go to waste and do damage and destruction below should be built as a part of the established national policy of internal improvements, the use of the water stored to be free to the people forever without toll or charge of any kind, and to be distributed under the laws of the States, as recommended in the report of Col. Hiram M. Chittenden on Reservoir Sites and urged by the resolution of the Irrigation Congress. "The share which ought to go to the aggregate disbursements from the national treasury for internal improvements should be devoted to the building of these storage reservoirs within their borders. Why should the arid West not have its share of the vapours of money expended for internal improvements? What reason is there why the West should continue contributing to build internal improvement for the East and South, unless the West is given equitable proportion of all moneys expended for such purposes." "(c) Forests should be preserved and reforested where necessary, as natural reservoirs and sources of water supply; and the public grazing land should be leased and the revenue derived therefrom used to build large irrigation works, such as reservoirs main canals, and great dams or diversion works, which would be beyond the scope of the resources of the land owners. Such works should be maintained controlled, and operated by the State just as they are by the British government in India." "(d) Systems for the distribution and delivery of water to irrigation after the water supplies have been made available to them through the adoption of the policy above set forth should be organized as co-operative." The use of nicknames and vulgar epithets seeks to belittle and injure the objects of attack. The calling of outrageous names does not make the objects of spite what the names indicate, but it does show what the user is capable of: it tells what are his resources; it shows his familiarity with the low, base, contemptible. Such doings are all the more pitiful when they appear in connection with loud claims to superiority, propriety and the sole possession of the elements of true progress. It is well known that many of our houses will not admit the sheet that so constantly violates the common proprieties of social life. Such productions do much to debauch public sentiment and injure the formation of good taste and habit. The community is to be pitied that has to bear such an infliction. What greater foe can a people have than irresponsible scribblers who recklessly assault private character? An unworthily conducted journal is a degradation of the power of the press. We have local proof that it may fail to distinguish between ugliness and manliness, and has not perception enough to see that its manufactured assumptions can never have the weight of attested facts. It is said: Well, seek redress in a legal way. Redress from whom? Can you get blood from a stone, sweet odor from a gas bag, or substance from a shadow? A mere shadow is hardly responsible, but he who supplies the light is. It is said that somebody among us had read the fable of the monkey and the chestnuts, and seeing a big desirable political chestnut, he wanted it. Next thing, find a monkey to go after it. The pranky creature with the caudal appendage was found. He could do anything that was called for. The chestnut did not materialize; but the tail still wags. Yours, &c, OBSERVER.

A large consumptive demand continues and the great industrial activity shows no signs of lessening. Prices for staples are firm. Bank clearances were large for the month, nearly reaching the total of January, while the failures were the smallest ever reported in any month. In our immediate district there is little new to report. Business is seasonally active. Much interest centers in the efforts being made by the fruit growers of Northern California to form an independent line of transportation in opposition to the refrigerator-car combine. The unexpected rain injured some hay and grain, but this damage was slight compared with benefits to beets, beans, alfalfa and deciduous and citrus orchards. Water in the irrigating ditches was materially increased. The fruit crop of Southern California is estimated now at fairly good output. Canners are now offering $20 per ton for peaches and apricots, against $15 to $16 last year. The season promises a large pack. The citrus crop looks well, and as there will be no crop in the South this year, good prices should rule. The walnut crop will, it is estimated, equal that of last year, 450 cars. The association will not set prices until September, when condition of crop will be fully known. Almond crop very light. Further development in the oil industry of this section is threatened by rapid advance in price of iron well material. Some of the heaviest operators in the State will not proceed with work at present prices, but recent discoveries of flowing wells have caused renewed interest in the industry which has done so much for our section. Interest in mining is all the time increasing, and large amounts of Eastern capital is seeking investment in districts tributary to Los Angeles. Altogether, trade conditions are surprisingly favorable, and the year promises to be far more prosperous than last. Trade mortality is light. There were eleven failures in May; liabilities $15,000, and assets $3,500. In May, 1898, there were twenty-one failures, with liabilities of $58,000, and assets of $35,000.

We share which ought to go to thezes and territories out of the disbursements from the na- ceury for internal improve- should be devoted to the build- ese storage reservoirs within borders. Why should the arid not have its share of the vast money expended for internal im- ment? What reason is there West should continue contrib- uble internal improvements East and South, unless the given equitable proportion of sys expended for such purposes? Forests should be preserved rested where necessary, as na-ervoirs and sources of water and the public grazing lands be leased and the revenue de- verefrom used to build large ir- works, such as reservoirs, valleys, and great dams or diver- kks, which would be beyond the resources of the land own- th works should be maintained, ed, and operated by the States they are by the British govern- India. Systems for the distribution every of water to irrigators, the water supplies have been available to them through the of the policy above set forth, we organized as co-operative STORAGE OF WATER. Why Many Reservoirs are Failures—T. S. Van Dyke Upon the Subject, Before the Pomological Society Many small reservoirs have been built in the last twelve years, and all that I have seen or heard of have been practically failures, where intended to give safe storage for water enough to irrigate any considerable area of fruit trees in full bearing. Small reservoirs differ from large ones only as small fish do from large ones. Both demand genuine water and decline to work on wind. Most of the mistakes have arisen from not considering the difference of a pond that you may fill several times in the growing season from summer rains, or flowing streams, artesian wells or some pumping system, and those that receive little or no water during the irrigating season, but must depend upon the winter floods. The latter will almost always be failures, unless built on a scale entirely too expensive for an ordinary ranch. Much money and time have been wasted on them, and many trees planted to be of no use. With the return of the usual rainfall and a series of good years this experiment will again be popular, and in time be almost certain failure, even in years of fair rainfall. As a rule, water can be reservoird most cheaply on the largest scale. The small scale is both expensive and unreliable. Consider, first, that it takes an acre a little over fourteen feet deep to hold an inch of water—that is, for a year, or 365 twenty-four-hour inches. It takes a very good basin with a fairly flat floor to hold an average depth of water to one-third the height of the dam. Such basins as you are likely to find for farm limited consumers to a continuous flow of a single inch. For valuable products, and for almost all products, one must have an irrigating head of considerable size. It should be from three to five inches to each acre to be irrigated, according to the texture of the soil. Where the soil is too perous for good furrow work and resort must be had to flooding, it should be at least ten inches of head for each acre to be irrigated. All this means high efficiency of the water. But it also means a large reservoir. It does not, however, imply that such a reservoir must be cemented. Such a course will generally be expensive, whether with cement or asphalt, but almost all soil can be puddled with animals, and many soils will puddle themselves well enough in a little while. As an inch will cover an acre half an inch deep in twenty-four hours, and half an acre inch will wet about five inches in depth, the seepage on any very tight soil would not amount to much compared with the increased value of the greater irrigating head. When this reservoir raises the temperature 15 or 20 degrees, or even 10 degrees, the combined effect will generally justify considerable size in the reservoir. One can generally be built by home labor and need not be deep enough to require very much care with the outlet pipe. Many think the evaporation from a large reservoir is too great for economy. During very hot weather it would average about one miner's inch a day from the surface of one acre. In cool summer weather about half that. If it were very shallow this would be increased, and there would be still more loss if there were much vegetation in it. But even these losses as well as the cost, will be generally more than offset by the effect of the increased head and the temperature. And the larger head means not only more work out of the water, but less work and worry out of the man who handles it. There is one type of reservoir not yet in general use, but which most people seem very much afraid of. If water Systems for the distribution of water to irrigators, the water supplies have been available to them through the policy above set forth, be organized as co-operative companies, with the stock pertaining to the land, so farmers could build the canals and themselves, as was done by theorm settlers, and thus get irrigation without debt, and share the benefits of the water sys-the proportion of their respect-age holdings. Is proposed policy is the only problem of the settlement of a region can be solved. It is not one of choice of ways. There is no way, and this is the way it is accomplished in a few in many, depends entirely on amount of public interest aroused there are few who realize how out the problem is, and how widespread are the evil con-which exist today all through West, and which will, so long continue to exist, prevent any of emigration from again com-mat region. Every interest would be led by the rapid development and present prosperity of the West flavor this policy. It would bene-ligitate investments hereto- made in irrigation enterprises under the water-right system. Near lands could be gradually to the co-operative system, the restoration of confidence in conditions in the arid region make colonization of those lands where it is now utterly impos-able ones who could object to proposed policy would be promoters calculators who still hope to make us out of the labor of future millions of farmers, by inducing to invest in schemes for arid collamation under the water-system. This system has been an aid and a snare to both investors, and it would be a great benefit if the fact could be every-known and recognized that the moment of capital in irrigation raises can be made absolutely safe the co-operative system, and that co-operative impossibility to make it under a water-right system, or any plan for the investment of capital for the storage and sale of course there are difficulties to one. Nothing worth having is got. But the most serious diffi-culties from the lack of unity among the people of the West, growing different conditions in each If we want success, we must and get a platform broad enough to stand upon, recognizing providing for the needs of each, including none. Illustrate: Take Colorado and The Arkansas river in Kan-Been practically dried up for irri-purposes by diversions higher Colorado. Give the lands to Colo-dow will she build any reservoirs? Most assuredly not. Do he the lands to the States. Let federal government hold the title flooded and build the reservoirs no use. With the return of the usual rainfall and a series of good years this experiment will again be popular, and in time be almost certain failure, even in years of fair rainfall. As a rule, water can be reservoird most cheaply on the largest scale. The small scale is both expensive and unreliable. Consider first, that it takes an acre a little over fourteen feet deep to hold an inch of water—that is, for a year, or 365 twenty-four-hour inches. It takes a very good basin with a fairly flat floor to hold an average depth of water to one-third the height of the dam. Such basins as you are likely to find for farm use will not hold over one-fourth of the height of the dam, and in many the average depth of the water back of the dam will not be over one-fifth, as where there are many sloping points jutting into it, with mounds or ridges in the bottom. Taking the mean of these, or one-fourth of the average depth of the flowage back of the dam, it would require a dam fifty-six feet high to hold an inch if the water surface were one acre; twenty-eight feet high if the surface were two acres, and 14 feet high if the surface were four acres. You see at once this is quite a pond, and yet we have not allowed for evaporation. This is about four feet for the year on an average throughout the country, of which nearly three feet will be in the dry season. If this came off the bottom it would be trifling, but if comes off the top layers, and amounts to 15 or 20 per cent of the supply. In this way you can casily judge of the value of the reservoir if you know the height of the dam and the number of acres it will cover at that height. You will find few basins stand the test. Most of them will be too narrow or too sloping or more often both, while those with a large, wide bag back of a narrow gorge, suitable for a safe and cheap dam are very rare. Most of those we find suitable have a habit of having little watershed back of them, while those that have a good watershed are too often too wide-mouthed. If the watershed is good enough to insure filling the reservoir in ordinary years, then it is quite certain to bring in considerable sediment in wet years. I have seen several completely filled in this way in one wet winter. It is possible to dredge them out, but you had better let the other man undertake the task. It is a nice task for a tenderfoot. It looks like a simple matter to build a dam fourteen feet high in a narrow gorge. But when you have gone to a safe foundation your dam is more likely to be twenty feet high. And the gorge that to the eye seems so narrow may be fairly wide when measured by your purse. If your watershed is reliable for medium years there is certain to be a large overflow in very wet winters, and to provide against that with certainty is no trifling matter. It seems very easy to run a pipe or a box through a dam of earth, but it is still more easy for the water to cut it out. You have seen, on hillsides, sheets of shelving rock covered with soil that was formed from its decomposition, and about as close to it as you are likely to pack anything but the best clay. Yet you have seen water follow the seam between the soil and the rock for many yards under almost no pressure. So it will do with any seam between earth and hard material. When it once gets a thorough under pressure the fate of your dam is sealed. Many other precautions make the building of a safe dam on a reliable watershed so expensive that even where the proper basin exists you are paying too much for the amount of water you get, and will do better to Many think the evaporation from a large reservoir is too great for economy. During very hot weather it would average about one miner's inch a day from the surface of one acre. In cool summer weather about half that. If it were very shallow this would be increased, and there would be still more loss, if there were much vegetation in it. But even these losses as well as the cost, will be generally more than offset by the effect of the increased head and the temperature. And the larger head means not only more work out of the water, but less work and worry out of the man who handles it. There is one type of reservoir not yet in general use, but which most people seem very much afraid of. If water cannot be stored above ground, the next best place is in the ground. How many thousands of inches went to the sea a year ago with a short year staring us in the face? How much public wealth was thus thrown away for fear it might rain and people thus have little labor for nothing? And this is done after it is certain that we cannot have enough rain to keep the subsol as wet as it should be. How strange it is that it takes people so long to learn that if you try to cultivate by irrigation a thin sheet of soil on top of an ash heap, that the dry ash heap will sap it upward. There is capillary attraction that no mulch can break up and in trying to keep it wet we are throwing away good summer water that is needed elsewhere. But suppose it shall rain? Well, suppose it should. Many of you remember the great wet winter of 1883-84, when the ground was for weeks like a duck's back, when allthe streams ran all summer and fall tothe ocean,when springs broke out and ran a year or more on dry hillsides,and tile patches and willow groves started onthe late dry slopes.Do you remember any harm that was done byit to anything that was on ground where it should have been?

Illustrate: Take Colorado and Arkansas. The Arkansas river in Kansas has been practically dried up for irrigation purposes by diversions higher Colorado. Give the lands to Colorado will build any reservoirs in Kansas? Most assuredly not. Do the lands to the States.

Many other precautions make the building of a safe dam on a reliable watershed so expensive that even where the proper basin exists you are paying too much for the amount of water you get, and will do better to resort to some other means. A small reservoir, to be filled by a flowing stream or wells, is quite another matter, especially where the stream does not flow through the basin, but is diverted into it. Where reasonable precautions are taken these are nearly always well worth what they cost, for there is no large overflow to provide against, and they can be filled more than once a year. In many cases they are a necessity, as where the water is cold. The temperature of irrigating water is of great importance, yet it is constantly overlooked by novices in irrigation. For many things every degree that you can add to its temperature will mean dollars in results. To be useful it must be warm, for cold water will check many kinds of growth, so as to make a practical failure of the crop. I have seen corn completely ruined by water from mountain streams, sickly and not yet in ear in August, yet the owner did not seem to suspect what was the matter. For this reason I would prefer a reservoir wide and shallow, even at the risk of more trouble from vegetation. You cannot have the water too warm for the best results, with most products. Such reservoirs should also be used in hundreds of cases where one now deems them unnecessary. All experienced irrigators know the difference in efficiency between so many inches of water in large heads and in small ones. Many a man is now irrigating from a well who does not know this or does not know the extent of the difference. Even with a well flowing several inches of water, either artesian or by pumping, parties are loosing efficiency seriously by not accumulating that head so as to make a large run. It is not possible to frame a formula by which this might be calculated, but it is safe to say that a man with a tenacre tract, and a well furnishing one inch of water, had better spend a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars for a reservoir, or else unload on the first tenderfoot and buy under a ditch giving large heads, as most of them do. The San Diego Flume company goes into its present trouble largely by the stupidity of directors, who ignored the plans of the projectors and Monica. From June to September, inclusive, the Santa Fe will sell cheap excursion tickets to Redondo and Santa Monica every week. The rate will be $1.30 for the round trip, and tickets will be good going either on Saturday afternoon or on any train Sunday, good for return until the last train of the Monday following. Fruit Growers' Meeting The annual meeting of the Southern California Deciduous Fruit Exchange was held in Los Angeles on June 9th, and the following Directors were elected: A. R. Sprague, representing Bonita Orchard company; Dr. E. W. Reid, Cucamonga association; Nathan Cole, Alpine Springs orchard; J. B. Neff, Anaheim association; J. A. Brown, Hemet association; A. L. Scofield, Lamanda association; W. H. Schureman, North Pomona association; F. A. Bliss, Duarte association; Morton Haig, San Gabriel association; Robert Dunn, Piru association; Mr. Dunning, Burbank association. The following officers were elected: A. R. Sprague, President and Manager; J. B. Neff, Vice President; T. J. Ashby, Secretary; Farmers and Merchants' Bank, Treasurer. An executive committee, consisting of the President and Messrs., Reed, Neff and Haig, was appointed, which will meet every two weeks. The Manager's report stated that a very satisfactory season had passed. The expenses were very low, and the average prices obtained were much better than through other channels. The membership of the old associations has increased, and a number of new associations have been formed, so that it is safe to predict that at least four times the business of last year will be done the coming season, and the percentage of expenses correspondingly reduced. Altogether there are twenty associations connected with the exchange. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Add E. Hart, of Groton, S.D.: "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminated in Consumption. Four Doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth; I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles. It has cured me, and thank God, I am saved and now a well and healthy woman." Trial bottles free at Paul A. Derge's Drug Store. Regular size 50c. and $1.00. Guaranteed or price refunded."
