William M. Bunker, of Califor nia, discussed the comnie'cial pos sibilities to the United States which would result through full irriga tion. He insisted that the success of our buttle for commercial su premacy on the Pacific demands that our great arid region shall be reclaimed so as to furnish food products for tho rapidly growing demand of the Asiatic market on American merchants; or, as he further stated it, the expansion of nnr trsile in tho Orient must be simultaneous with the reclamation of our arid area. To this question Mr. Bunker has given no little study, supplemented by a recent extended trip through Asia and Europe. His remarks were illustrated with interesting stereopticon views of Asiatic scenes, mnnor tlipm a sionmer on one of the Chinese rivers laden with American flour. He presented figures to show that American ex ports to Asia advanced from $36,' 000,000 in 1898 to $78,000,000 in 1899, and clearly showed the abil itv of the Orient to absorb any agricultural surplus the United States could produce. He brought out the close relationship between our Asiatic trade and irrigation nrnduction in a statement of the t inability of the Orientals, particu larly'the Chinese, to incresHe their natural food resources, also be cause of the Oriental preference for our food products Not onlv, he contended, would the Asiatic market absorb all of nnr fnnrl nroduct sumlus. but the I . - greater our exportation to the Orient the better would our facili ties become for shipping that sur plus.

"The Oriental trade," said Mr. Bunker, "is the greatest commer cial prize of the age, and it is so broad in its benefits that the manufacturer on the Atlantic sea board or in the Middle West has an interest in its expansion, equal to that of the best favored farmer upon the Pacific coast. Our larg est export item in the Asiatic trade in the fiscal year ended July 1, 1899, was flour from the Pacific coast, valued at $463,878; but soon after that date there was a ship ment from the Atlantic seaboard for account of the Chinese Eastern Railway, of rails valued at $1,970,- 070. An analysis of the exports to the Orient show that the inter ests of the Eastern and Southern States in thw expansion of our trade with the far East is fully as large as that of the tier of States on the Pacific Coast." Mr. Bunker embodied his views into the following resolutions, which was adopted by the Congress: Whereas the greatest commer cial campaign the world has ever seen is about to begin in the Orient with the Oriental trade, the rich est prize of the age, as the issue at stake! and said Oriental trade specially comprehends the food and similar demands of several hundred millions of people who cannot increase their natural food producing resources; and these fnrwl Rnd similar demands can be easily filled through the reclama tion and ensuing use of areas in the Trans-Mississippi region that are now arm ana uepressing wastes: and Whereas tho vast products, of these reclaimed wastes will invite tow ncean-earrvii)2 rates on the Pacific, and thus insure American commercial euprsmecy in the Ori ent, and relieve tho Eastern States of Western competition in food products; and by the felicity of its position tho Pacific , const has a transportation advantage over Eu rope with reflect to the Orient, it were criminal folly to ignore, and this advantage must sooner or later bo utilized: now, therefore, Rosolved, That we recommend to Congress, in tho interest of the entire country, and that our com mercial interests may bo properly safe- guarded, that Congress should authorizo the issuance of bonds in an adequate amount at a low rate of interest, tho money raised there on to be expended as needed in re claiming the arid wastes by a na tional system of irrigation, the bonds to be issued in such a way as to permit their speedy redemp tionand the' repeated use of the original amount; Resolved, That this national clamation enterprise will stimu late the most desirable form of in ternal development, and througl the incidentally increased water power, made possible by canals dams, and ditches, multiply the industrial activities that are al ready the wonder of the world F. H. Frankenburg, of Pueblo, Colorado, urged the necessity of artesian wells to develop tho un derground water resources of tho West, and presented the following resolution on -this subject which w sdnhted bv Coneress: Resolved, That we urge upon Congress the importance of pro viding for the sinking of deep test wells to ascertain the artesian con ditions on the great plains and in other localities in the and region where water can probably be de veloped from artesian or under ground sources for reclaiming the arid lands, and making them a vailable for homes, and to that end we urge that the annual ap propriation of the United States Geological Survey for hydrograph ic work, which is now $100,000, be increased to $250,000.

Carr Land & Livestock Company, on appeal from Judge Relleneer's decision to the United States Circuit. Court of Appeals, but refused to grant a stay of pro ceedings. Mr. Carr ist now up against it and can do nothing further in. the rase until his anneal has beenide rided. Tt will nrobablv come up for hearing when the Circuit Court of Appeals convenes here in Sep tember. In the meantime Judge Bellinger's order is in force, and the destruction of Carr's fences is likclv to be proceeded with. Just how lone it will take to make a general average of Carr's 40 miles or mnrfi of fer.ee. princi pally rock, remains to be seen, but some day he may be seen sitting on the ruins like Caius Marius on the ruins of Carthage, except that, unlike Marius, he will have to pay a large bill for creating the ruins to git on.
