These nre the characteristics of the surroundings of Mare Island Navy Yard. They hem about the men wlie nre drawn thither to work In the Government's employ.

Five relies of this ditch Is already com pleted and the canal will be thirty miles In length when finished. The work Is being done by the Columbia Southern Irrigation Company, under the Carey act and will cost in the neighborhood of 1277.800. A large force of men at work and additional - workman and teams are sought 'When completed the ditch will lrrl gats 30,000 acres of land. The width ' of the stream and the volume of water , it carries , will grow steadily smaller the greater the distance 'covered, aad work will progress with constantly in creasing rapidity as a result It Is, however, Impossible to estimate as yet . the data of aetual completion. An abundance of water is furnished at all -seasons of the year from the Tumalo, t which rises at 'the snow line -of the " Three Bisters and Is, therefore, never likely to go dry even in the hottest season. The land under the ditch has been tested and found to be capable or growing general farm products when given ' the proper amount of water.

The Columbia Southern railroad, the- nearest line, is across the Deschutes 'river, but the proposed ' building of a ' branch either by the Harfiman system ;r by Mr. Lytle. independently, is con , teniplated to tap this section. Another railroad line, the Cor vail Is A Eastern, has been surveyed through the heart of the country so soon to be Irrigated, and. while this road at pres 'ent has Its terminus on the summit of 'the mountains many leagues away. It ', Js known that right-of-way clear through to Ontario has been purchased. This Is taken as an Indication that 'that road is to be put through within a reasonable time. Col. Blethen calls' It a conspiracy on the part of friends of San Francisco, who know the weakness of their naval nation, but seek successfully to Influ ence the department in the favor of an inferior Institution. no longer will vessels be sent to the navy yard at that place, or not until the people of the town rid It of saloons, to which resorts.

A month after its adoption by the Exec utive Board the certificates of appoint ments reached the office of the Civil Service Commission today.

From this list the appointments are made and the certincate of the fact. with, the names and salaries of the appointees must be returned to the Civil Service Commission. It is then necessary that the list be furnished to the Auditor who therefrom makes out his warrants on the City Treasurer. In the case of the police force this method was not followed. The list of ellglbles was furnished to the commis sion and the Executive Board duly made appointments to the police force. So far the mode was according to the charter. But someone neglected to re turn the list to the Civil Service Com mission, dead. His wife moved to Napa. married again and to be he'd this evening.
