A Californinn. who wishes (o trado an oranno urovo near "Riverside for a Rogue river orchard, writes as follows concerning the water supply: Thcro is n $10,000 imuipInK plant belonging to 100 acres of land, which represent 100 aliares, one- share with each ncre sold with tho land. The plant runs by electricity and pumps 30 to 33 Inches of water.

Tho San Diego Flume Company charges were former ly $120 an acre in advance for water and $( a year niain tainance with not to exceed one-half California miners inches of water for each ten acres. In dry years, the amount supplied was cut in two. The rate has since been raised and it costs even more, with land much poorer in quality than any hi the Rogue river valley. It the Jxoguo river valley had poor, miserable barren soil like Southern California, that would not grow anything without water, the entire valley would long ago have been under irrigation and its output thereby increased tenfold. But the soil is rich enough and there is moisture enough t6 produce a partial crop in the dryest years and the fart that some kind of a crop can be produced without water has been the curse of the country and delayed its intensive development a decade.

Since 1S74, $30,000,000 has been rusting in idleness in the "war chest" at Sandau. It itf now announced that $60,000,000 more is to be withdrawn from circulation and placed with it. Naturally the German people think gold is the only money worth saving and are withdrawing it from circulation and hoarding it. The reserve fund in the Imperial Bank approximates $200,000,000. There is about $35,000,000 new coinage added annually. This new coinage is not to be put into circulation, but added to the reserve. Paper money or "green backs" will take its place. Under the laws, three dollars of paper monev can be issued for every dollar of gold on hand, which would give a total of $(515,000,000 on hand for the crisis. Whether any nation can long support an army of a million men and immense nav, and withdraw a constantly increasing percentage of its gold from circulation, is prob lematical. It is a policy that sooner oi later spells ruin and is most apt to briifg about that very condition it is ninipil to nrevent at least so the lessons of history teach. Germany's war lord seems to be creating a burden greater than the nation can bear. Ho himself, with his obsolete doctrine of divine rights, is an anachronism and his army is a primitive fuedal survival into a democratic age, fuedal not only in conception but in actual organization.

When you would honor u guest, oit honor him most by giving linn the best of whnt is distiuctuuly uir own, not by hfultifying yontelf to give him an imitation of what is peculiarly his. To- be sure it may be nM that wine lesit dinners nre pot distinctively American, but they nre t.vpiual of the Americanism that llrynn represents. For Mr. and MrV llrynn to have; turned their dining room into n wino room cafe, contrary to their own habits of n lifetime nml the habits of millions of Americans like them, would hnve been degrading to them selves, nit itKtilt to the great mass of the people they represent, and scant courtesy to their guests. 1 1 nun' wiuelenH dinner is uu inci dent o be icspcclcd nml an exumple much moro worthy of imitation than the Kitropeuii drinking customs which lei us hope, will be hii.mily displaced in all the social functions of the new regime at Wabingtin.
