ARID LANDR.
An example of what can be done tor
the reclaimation of arid lands under
Klickitat county, Wash., where the vot
ers of the middle irrigation district will
soon vote upon the question -of bonding
. legislative stimubus is being given in
the district for half a million dollars for
the purpose of constructing an irrigating
ditcii fifty miles long, twelve feet wide
at the bottom and eigh ten n at the top,
to carry fdur feet of water, or a sufficient
quantity to irrigate 40,000 acres of land
at an estimated cost of $5 an acre. A
suitable irrigation law in Oregon would
enable various natural irrigation dis-
, tricts to provide means in a similar way
and thousands of " acres, now of little
practical value, would be rendered pro
ductive and valuable without the ex-
' penditure of any money by the state.
. The Hood River valley has at least two
natural irrigation districts with an
, abundance of water for every acre of
land in the valley. All they need is the
; necessary funds to build the ditches.
With such a law as they have in our sis
ter state a month would not pass till
steps were taken to secure this result.
The bonds of such a district would be a
good investment, secured both upon the
land and the ditch. We have thous
ands of acres elsewhere in this countv
that with water to irrigate them
would produce anything that can be
grown in a similar climate and in an
abundance that cannot be exceeded any
where else, in the world. For manv .nt
these lands artesian water is perhaps
the only practical means of irrigation
and it is quite possible and even more
than probable that water could be ob
tained by this means at even less ex
pense than by ditching from rivers and
creeks. There is a stretch "of country
lying south of and bordering on the
Columbia river in this and Sherman
counties practically valuless for grain
raising, yet. as good fruit land as ever
lay to the sun, if it only had the neces
sary water for irrigation. Put water on
these lands and their yalue would be in
creased ten fold and twenty acres would
do more to support a family in comfort
than half a sec tion does at the present
time. The man who shall solve the
.problem of irrigation for the hills of
Wasco county will do-more for his coun
try than if he talked tariff, sub-treasury
iind free coinage till the judgment day.
Shrewd observers of political affairs
-slnjngly 8uspe;t that David B. Hill
would not bo utterly heart-broken
should iho republicans elect their gov
ernor tins year and in confirmation of
their theory they point to Hill's speech
at Mulone hi which he advocated the
passage of a law reducing the rate of in
terest from 5 to 6 per cent. This feat
ure of his address is considered, signifi
"Crtht from the fact Lhat Mr. Flower waa
'one of a delegation of bankers which
"went to Albany to defeat .that measure
"when it was before the last legislature.
JTt is suspected that Hills advocacy of the
measure, in his Malone speech, was one
of those sly, intentional blows that are
sometimes delivered in houses bf-friends
and that Hilt- would be'pleased at Flow
ers defeat to boom his own presidential
aspirations as';, the only democrat who
can carrv the state of New York.
If rain-maker Melbourne is. a fraud, he
has a singulfir way of . doing business.
We understand he acts upon the princi
ple of- certain physicians who advertise
"no cure no pay." ' If 'Melbourne is
hired to produce rain and no ,rain comes
nobody is out anything but himself.
This is eminently fair . and would indi
cate that ho, at least has faith in his
own powers, it appears he hus entered
into a contract with a committee at
Cheyenne to produce a certain number
of inches of water at or near that place
during the months of May, June and
July 1892 and', in the event of his fail
ure, to receive nothing for his trouble.
Melbourne) would be a very handy man
to have around here during these same
months, if he can do all he pretends to
do.
SJThe enterprising editor of the Tacoma
New is advocating the holding of the
next national democratic convention at
Tacoma. He proposes to start- four
special trains from Portland, Maine,
New York, Washington, D. C, and
some point in Florida.' Each train shall
pick up delegates in the district of coun
try through whicb it passes. The long
est trip which any man will have to
make will occupy four days and the
democrats, of the northwest will pay all
the expenses. '-Tacoma," says the
New man, "has more and bigger hotels
than any city five times her size and we
will have finished, early next year,
another new one that will cost a million
and a half. We will pay all hotel bills
and if the national committee desires a
guarantee of good faith we will place
with them a certified check for $20,000
that our program will be carried out."
Grave political reasons are urged in de
fense of this scheme. No convention of
the kind has ever been held in the far
west, while the political balance of
power has certainly come here and
therefore western states will play an im'
portant part in the great game cf na
tional politics. It can'only be a matter
of a short time when some national con
vention will be held here and the one
that comes first' will have certain' ad
vantages over any other.
Those who are demanding the Sunday
closing of the world's fair have met with
a class of allies where they least ex
pected. They seem to have the impres
sion ' that if the . fair should be kept
closed on Sundays the visitors would
crowd into the ' churches. But the
Chicago saloon keepers know human
nature a little better and they are earn
estly seconding the pious efforts of the
Sabbatarians, well knowing that the
success of the Sunday closing movement
means thousands of dollars in their own
pockets.
