The Republican national convention held in Philadelphia in June, 1904 ferred to irrigation in the nation's platform as follows: "In further suance of the constant policy of Republican party to provide free water on the public domain, we recommend adequate national legislation to re-establish the arid lands of the United States preserving the control of the distribution of water for irrigation to the respective states and territories." Democrats, of course, imitating following the lead of the Republican party in all matters of progress, agreed the following plank in their form at Kansas City in July, "We favor an intelligent system improving the arid land of the state storing the waters for the purpose irrigation and the holding of such for actual settlers." In his message to the Ffty-second Congress President Roosevelt chief and vigorously urged the enactment of legislation in aid of development irrigation of the great arid portion our country. Encouraged by the president's earnest and vigorous recognition, the members of both branches of Congress from the arid and arid states met in the early days of session, appointed a committee from each of the said states and territories, with Senator Warren of Wing, a Republican, as chairman, the purpose of drafting an irrigation measure. This committee labored earnestly and faithfully, and finally presented the full representation from them to a bill which was accepted by them introduced in the Senate by Sen Hansbrough, a Republican, and House by Representative New which bill, with subsequent amendments, was the foundation for the ent National Irrigation act. On May 14, 1902, in presenting bill to the House,'Congressman lands referred to President Roosevelt message on irrigation and quotation same in its entirety, thus admitting that the President's influence for measure was the strongest at that time. This measure was known as Hansbrough-Newlands bill, and came the basis upon which the mittee work was done, but as draught never became a law. It was discharged by a self-constituted committee.

ROOSEVELT ON ARID WEST THE HISTORY OF THE IRRIGATION ACT formation of Arid Lands with Federal Aid is Due Sofely to Republicans—Roosevelt’s Personnel Triumph. The first move on the part of the federal government to reclaim the arid began as far back as 1889, under President Harrison’s Republican administration, when a bill was passed congress authorizing an investigation of this subject with a view of assuming to what extent the arid region of the United States can be benched by irrigation. This bill approved $100,000 for topographical survey for the fiscal year ending June 1889. The money was to be used for the direction of Major Powell, then head of the geological survey. The work was placed under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior, and Major Powell was directed to take his report as early as possible. His report and the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior, 100,000 was supplemented by an additional $250,000 by the passage of an act further investigation of the regions. A committee of senators appointed to visit the arid regions in different western states and territories, during the summer of 1890. bill was unacceptable to President Roosevelt as affording speculators and large land owners opportunity to monopolize the benefits of the act. Mr. Roosevelt therefore sent for Senator Hansbrough and Representatives Metcalf, Moody and Reeder, all Republicans, who would have charge of the bill in the House, and warned them that unless changed In certain respects he should be compelled to veto it. The specific changes that he required were, first, that the Secretary of the Interior should be empowered to withdraw from entry all lands proposed to be irrigated, instead of only those required for reservoirs and ditches as provided in the bill; that no water should be sold or delivered except to bona fide settlers, actually living on the land to which the water was applied—which was not in the Newlands bill—and that the words, “but state and territory laws shall govern and control the appropriation, use and distribution of the waters rendered available under this act,” should be stricken out as virtually subjecting the control of federal work to state legislatures, some of which he doubtless believed, but did not say so, to be unfit to exercise such a trust, and as certainly exposing the settlers to the dangers of endless and ruinous litigation. At the President’s express requirement the bill was amended in these respects and became the law as it stands today. There had been attempts for many years to get the government to go into the irrigation business, but all failed until President Roosevelt took hold of the project. In his first annual message to Congress in 1901 he called attention to the necessity of providing water for the arid lands, and said: "The object of the government is to dispose of the land to settlers who will build homes upon it. To accomplish this project water must be brought with."

The work was placed under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior, and Major Powell directed him to report as early as possible. His report and the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior, 100,000 was supplemented by an annual $250,000 by the passage of an order for further investigation of the regions. A committee of senators appointed to visit the arid regions of different western states and territories, during the summer of 1890, completed its work of investigation made its report after having travelled 12,000 miles and having been on road fifty days. The Republican national convention in Philadelphia in June, 1900, relied on irrigation in the national form as follows: "In further purpose of the constant policy of the public domain, we recommend state national legislation to reclaim world lands of the United States, serving the control of the distribution of water for irrigation to the receive states and territories." Theocrats, of course, imitating and driving the lead of the Republican in all matters of progress, adopt following plank in their platform at Kansas City in July, 1900; favor an intelligent system of moving the arid land of the West, using the waters for the purpose of cultivation and the holding of such lands actual settlers." This message to the Fifty-seventh President Roosevelt clearly vigorously urged the enactment legislation in aid of development byation of the great arid portions of country. Encouraged by the President's earnest and vigorous recommen­tion, the members of both branches congress from the arid and semi-states met in the early days of the nomination, appointed a committee of one each of the said states and territories, with Senator Warren of Wyoming a Republican, as chairman, for purpose of drafting an irrigation act. This committee labored earnestly healthfully, and finally presented to full representation from the West which was accepted by them, induced in the Senate by Senator Abrougha, a Republican, and in the House by Representative Newlands, with bill, with subsequent amendments, was the foundation for the pres­national Irrigation act. May 14, 1902, in presenting the vote to the House, Congressman Newlands referred to President Roosevelt's charge on irrigation and quoted the intention in its entirety, thus admitting that the President's influence for the measure was known as the Abrougha-Newlands bill, and because upon which the com­me work was done, but as drafted it became a law. It was discussed itself constituted committee of rep­resentatives.

At 5 o'clock on Saturday morning the ringing of church bells at Orange called the citizens out for a fire which for a time threatened to wipe out the entire southern part of town. The first person to give the alarm was a young son of Rev. Kogler who while passing had his attention attracted to a blaze in the center of the building. He gave the cry of fire and running to his father's church began ringing the bell. S. M. Craddick, who occupied the two-story frame building adjoining Boring's place on the north, was in bed at the time. Hearing the church bell ringing at that early hour and supposing it to be boys out for a lark, said: "Those boys ought to be in the penitentiary." Soon other bells began ringing. Craddick said: "This means business." He ran outdoors to find Boring's building ablaze. Boring carried a $4000 stock of goods consisting of bicycles, guns, rifles, ammunition and fireworks. The explosion of cartridges prevented people from entering the building, which was soon ablaze fiercely. The building occupied by Craddick was torn down, preventing the spread RAILWAY TIME TABLE.

Any of your friends will help you out by subscribing for the paper if you will only take the trouble to call their attention to the matter and explain to them the benefit you will derive from their subscription. If they are now taking it, ask them to renew their subscription. Contestants should turn in all money collected on subscription or other sources not later than Saturday of each week so their votes can be counted and published in the next issue of the paper. If this is complied with it will save the management considerable trouble. The names of the parties or party from whom it was collected must accompany it, otherwise no votes will be issued. No giving, trading or selling of votes will be permitted in this contest. Contests withdrawing before the contest is concluded will forfeit all their votes. It would not be fair to the other contestants should one withdraw and dispose of her votes to a favorite rival, hence we make this rule. Miss Mabela Gale of Yorba, entered the contest last week. Miss Gale is one of Yorba's most popular young ladies and has hosts of friends in that section who will give her their loyal support.

Craddick said: "This means business." He ran outdoors to find Boring's building ablaze. Boring carried a $4000 stock of goods consisting of bicycles, guns, rifles, ammunition and fireworks. The explosion of cartridges prevented people from entering the building, which was soon ablaze fiercely. The building occupied by Craddick was torn down, preventing the spread of flames to a row of frame structures on the north. Had these ignited a large part of the town would have been destroyed. There was inadequate protection from fire, and only the entire absence of wind saved the town from considerable loss. A telephone message was sent to the Santa Ana fire department, which responded on a run, but arrived too late to render much assistance. The Santa Ana firemen arrived shortly before 6 o'clock and rendered such service as was necessary. Mr. Boring places his loss at $4000 on stock and $1000 upon the building. He is of opinion the fire was the work of an incendiary. He left his front transom open the previous night, the interior having been freshly painted. Neighbors heard a rig drive rapidly away, going south, a short time before the alarm. Boring was robbed once at Orange, and he scouts the idea that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion, crossed wires or mice. He thinks his place was entered by thieves and that his loss may be traced to their work. What makes his case more regrettable is the fact that the day preceding the fire he received a telegram from his wife, who is in Indiana with their four-year-old son, stating the little one was at the point of death. Boring proposed starting East on Saturday, but was detained on account of the fire. Later a dispatch came bringing news of the death of the child. He had $825 insurance. Craddick's loss is $100, which is confined to maps and office furniture. The building which he occupied was owned by a lady residing in the East. It was valued at $1000. During his tenancy he had paid $2800 rent. He lived in the building 17 years, and moved out, as he says, in 17 minutes. Citizens of the town on Monday evening held a meeting and favored an issue of bonds in amount of $15,000 to provide adequate protection from fire.

The importance of this to the farmer can hardly be estimated, and it may safely be said that the larger the amount of the appropriation for this purpose, the greater will be the gain, not to the farmer alone, but to the city man. The farmer's hard times have hitherto been largely due to the fact that the smaller farmers were obliged to compete with the big ranch-owners, and not infrequently could not sell their produce in the nearest city as cheaply as the city dweller could obtain it from wholesale dealers ordering their produce by the car-load from a distance; while the ranch-owner has been obliged to take risks great enough to make up for his occasional large profits. Now, however the smaller farmers are applying scientific methods to their work, and endeavoring to regain their lost markets; and in order to do this they must be able to keep in constant touch with the cities. They cannot do this so long as they are liable to a delay of from three hours to twenty-four in getting their mail. To send each day to the postoffice means great loss of time, yet most of them do it rather than risk the loss of orders, or the inconvenience which arises from delay in receiving letters. Rural free delivery means the simplifying of this whole problem, to the convenience of everybody. Chicken-Pie Dinner The ladies of the Christian church will serve a chicken-pie dinner the day and evening of Nov. 8th, election day. Deacon Kellogg informs us he has a number of yellow-legged fowl spotted in various barnyards and will make a descent upon them the coming dark of the moon. He promises the finest provender even set before the people of this city, and the reputation of the Christian church ladies for excellence in chicken-pie construction is such as to leave no doubt the dinner will be one worth going many miles to become acquainted with.
