By order of the CoMatlTTWt. OUR ARID REGION. Millions of Acres to be Reclaimed by Irrigation. The arid region of the United States covers an area of 1, 500 miles in its wid est part, from east to west, and 1,000 from north to south. It embraces the area between tho 100th meridian and tho const range, and from the British possessions on tho north to Mexico on tho south. This .space contains over a million of square miles one-third of the area of the United States, includ ing Alaska equal to more than 600, 000,000 acres. All of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Colo rado and Nevada, and portions of Cali fornia, Oregon, Washington, Texas, Kansas, Nevada, North and South Da kota and Montana lie within this belt. It Is estimated in the report for the year ending June 30, 1891, of the Hon. John Noble, secretary of tho interior, that "12,000,000 acres that are now des ert may bo redeemed by irrigation so as to produce the cereals, fruits and garden products possible in the climate where the lands are located." When it is remombored tha 120,000, 000 acres, about equal in area to the states of Ohio, Illinois and Indiana com bined, the gigantic possibilities and fu ture of so great an extent of fertile and productive laud, now lying fallow, may be" imagined when it is made to "laugh with a harvest." The four states above named have a population of about 15, 000,000, and could easily support thrice that number; so that estimating tho cultivable area of the arid region at 120,000,000 acres, and doubtless it grea ly exceeds that amount, the United States has in that desert laud an empire awaiting development, capable of sup porting a population in comfort almost equal to the now existing population of the entire republic. Political. The Hermann boom is assuming lareer proportions, if the statements of some are to bj taken for granted. Said a gentleman who has just re turned from a visit to the southern portion of the state: "With the excep tion of Josephine county, and uossibly Jacksou. I am firmly of the opinion that Hermann will have tho entire delegation from Southern Oregon. Some have expressed doubts about Lane county, but I am sure he will have the delegation also. H. B. Miller will, no doubt, have the Josephine county delegation. Marion county will stand solidly for T. T. Geer, beyond doubt. It has been stated that the Douglas county delegation will bj divided and not support Hermann "at home.' though I have been fnformed that such will not be the case at all." T:legram. Married.

Twenty years ago, on the 6th of October. 1871, a little company of men and women started out from the Fisk school, at Nashville, Tenn., to in troduoe to tho people of the Northean States a class of musio never before hoard by them the snored, weird, unwritten Jubilee vongs of the log oabin and the cotton-Held songs which, by their promise of a "better time a coming." did more than anything else to salve the wounds and stimulate the faith of a long down-trodden yet ever hopeful race. The enterprise was the embodiment nnd expression of a great moral purpose to establish un Institution of Lourn Ing for the people whom the war had recently freed and enfuanchised, and to show that these people were equally capable With their white brothers and sisters of appreciating aud appro priating the advantages of a liberal education. The history of the Comnanv since that time 1b I familiar how they took the Northern public by wjnn, men successively capiurea Kngiana, Scotland, Ireland.Oennany, Holland nnd Switz erland, and how the dollars poured in until Fisk University was an established fact, and tho wildest dreams of the singers wore more tbun realized. Although the Company Is not now singing for tho interests of Fisk University, it is not thought Inappropriate to remind their fri. nds and the public generully of their past service In building thut University, at a cost of over flM.oai; and of the fact that, owing to their liberal terms and great drawing power.churchcs,. Young Men's ChriHtlun Associations, libraries, temperance und other organizations which have engaged them have profited through their con cert to the extent of many thousands of dol lars. A word about the programme: The Fisk Jubilee Singers were the originators of the Ju bilee music in concert work : it is their spe cialty, the one thing in which they cannot be approached. It is the purpose of the manage ment to continue to make this their specialty. The mission of the Fisk Jubilee singers is to sing to the heart. This inimitable company of singers will give a performance in Medford, March 30, in the opera house, for the benefit of Protection Hose Co. No. 1. Let everybody attend. County Commissioners' Court.
