GREAT IRRIGATION WORK.
There is no question about the fitness
of the name of Death valley. A report
from Bullfrog alludes to the finding of
a victim, of thai awful locality and say
it U "the S."th: of thV kind this Miiimer.'
The tat vietim was familiar with the
valley, having prospected there for years.
The eruiser Giicago behaved badly in
entering the harljor at San Francisco on
Thursday, first running aground and
then butting into the crippled gunboat
Bennington. Has the grudge between
Chicago and San Francisco extended to
the war craft!
It may be news to Portland editors to
know that the natives pronounce Iloilo,
Eelo-Eelo, not Eelo-Weelo. It may also
lie news to learn that Lo Angeles, Los
Anegelees, Loss Angeliss and Las Angee

Hueneme. V-ne mee; La Jolla, La Hoya,
and Ciaudad Jaurez, Queadaa Htmreth.
The cause of the Bennington Ixiiler
explosion is accredited to the closing of
a valve which should have been left
ojen. Ensign Charles T. Wade is de
ignated as being responsible, lie being
the only survivor of the officers ami men
;n charge of the boiler. His mental suf
fering on realizing that the cause of the
accident hag been traced to him, will
probably be more severe than any pun

It is unfortunate that an accidental
blow in a good-natured boxing match
on board tile cruiser Yankee should
have resulted jn the death of one of
the conte-tants. for the occurrence will
lie reported far and wide and is likely
to convey a wrong iniirressioii of the
habitual athletic activities of the en
listed men of the navy. It is contended
by thoe of long experience that boxing
i a wholesome sport for men who are
retricted to the small available area
on shipboard, and that it is ordinarily
productive of results at h'at as good as
any other form of physical exercise.
The death of Cohen is especially regret
table berau-e it will elicit the unfounded
critici-iu of those who are not well in
formed of the circumstances. There is
so much popular interest in everything
connected with the navy that those in
authority should take pains to regulate
Hie sport and guard effectively against
a repetition of the unfortunate incident.

repulsive dignitaary, the sultan of Sulu,

conception of enterprise, makes haste

Caalgary, Province of Alberta.
Canada, Aug. 22. lust outside of

Responsible for the Calgary project is

who got his idea while on a vi-it to the
I'nited States, and first urged the util

finally persuaded a Canadian railroad to
back the undertaking.
Irrigation in this latitude is for for
age crops, for this is that anomalous
region of "chinook winds," where cattle
range all winter without shelter. The
climate is comparatively mild, and the
general character of the country sug
gests Texaa.

There is a strong flavor of F.nglish to
this little city of 12,000 inhabitants
lying far out here at the base of the

The men wear white eordurov riilina
breeches with shirts open at the throat
and arms bare to the elbow, and their
mounts show that they are gentlemen of
means.
The women bring their luncheons in
their rigs and when hungry tiiey picnic
where they chance to be. They think
nothing of driving twenty miles into
town to see a polo game.
There is another sort of an English
man, lie is the "remittance man who
is here for the good of his country. He
regarded by his fellow citizens and
neighWs as a pest. He usuaally re
civs his rqmittavc ahoiiti once a
quarter, and he makes it his first busi

of stock raising, but his ranch is gen

lazy and a confirmed drunkard, but after
his name there is almost alwaya always
a title connecting him with one of Great
