It has acquired a however, in_ what is where the absence of moistwe is 80 plainly obvious, | BASE OF CIVILIZATION. | With the factor of moisture under the con- trol of man. his control over the creation of wealth is vastly enhanced. Civilization is based upon the existence of wealth, since em- pires are based upon population. = With one of the three factors of production under his control man can by his will create states, and in the exercise of this power he does most truly resemble the gods. In the anclent world the greatest density of population was found in regions originally desert, because in such reglons fertility can be evoked only by resort to irrigation. and wherever irrigation sorted to the density of population, the ce of great wealth and of empiré are Irrigation. herefore worl The valley of the Po furnished Informatory illustration of this. In the three provinces of rdy, Piedmont and Venice, comprising the valley of the Po and its confluents, there 3,000,000 of acres of land under irriga- tion The population of the region, based upon the productive capacity of the soil whose natutpl production is re-endorved by the con- trol of this single facton, is over 8,000,000 in- habitants. The climatic conditions of the Po are not favorable to & wide diversity of ob- jects of cultivation. Only In_especially fa- | vored regions of very limited area is the production of semi-tropical plants possible. Throughout the major portion of this irrigated area the thermometer descends to 10 degrees, maintaining that temperature a sufficlent length of time to control the character of the flora; and yet 8,000,000 inhabitants find abund. ant subsistence .in this favored region solely because one of the paramount factors of pro- duction is under the control of man, Let us contrast this with the conditions in the great Sacramento Valley in our State of Californfa. The Sacramento Valley has a fer- tile area equal to 6,500,000 acres. It possesses soil of unsurpassed fertility and it lles under @ climate conferring the widest range of agri- culture and horticulture possibilities, The temperature of that great valley seldom de- | scends to 32 degrees Fahrenhelt, and in fitty | years' observation has not fallen below 20 de- grees. Like the valley of the Po, loeal con- | figuration confers variety of conditions ‘which must " be intelligently mastered if errors of cuitivation would be avoided. But when the | tWo reglons are contrasted with reference to ! fertility and climatic possibiiities, the ley of the Sacramento, under equally inten- sive cultivation to that of the Po. Would sup- port in affluence and comfort, with an assured abundarice, 10,000,000 people. Fresno. in the heart of the great San Joa- quin Vailey, furnishes a striking illustration of the extent to which irrigation may epergize | @il the attributes of civilization. In that lo- cality a commonwealth of 22,000 prosperous ' people is based upon 60,000 acres of irrigated | jand and the significance of these figures is | vastly enhanced by the authentic statement ' that the banking exchange generated by the export and import commerce of the people of France, is greater in proportion to that num- of inl nts in ocal other known c(flzn'nl.u:lllt 5 R S RIVERSIDE COLONY.

No war in which any nation has ever been en- gaged fraught with such prophesy of bril- | liant achievement in the great office of extend- | ing our national possibilities or of broadening the basis of our civilization. This is a conquest which involves no expeditures of vast sums of money in wasteful extravagances of war, nor yet the shedding of blood, and its ultimate achievement will be a victory of peace whose splendor, if less picturesque, will not be le renowned than war. UTAH PIONEERS AHEAD. The pioneers of this State of Utah antlei- pated the coming of this march of civilization by more than half a century. Adherents of a new religion, they encountered the repulsion of the old. All religious bellefs are faultless only to those who believe in their infallibility, and whatever else may be said of the faith which brought the pioneers of this State to the very heart of a vast desert, it cannot be said that it was wanting in the power to at- tract and hold the martyrlike devotion of its adherents. They found here an arld desert; they converted it into a fertile garden, and the achievement of this miracle is referable to the magic of irrigation. Standing in the very center of the vast terri- tory about to be reclalmed from aridity to fer- tility, it is eminently fitting that our delibera- tions shall promote the full fruition of that con- ment of industrial and co ry quest. We stand on the threshold of a coming empire. Here fertility, bound in the chains of aridity, has awaited the awakening influence of energy, enterprise and capital. That the natjonal irrigation law will be the magic rod of Moses is our devout hope. The highest idea of anclent Hebrew prophets was the coming of the millenium, when the earth should be the final abode of a kingdom of peace. These prophecies constitute the basis of the exalted poetry of our language and bear the charmed life of immortal youth. If the Lord shall comfort Zion, he will com- fort all her waste places and he will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voices of melody. “I will open rivers in high places and fountains In the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry lands springs of water. I will plant fn the wilderness the cedar and the myrrh and the ofl tree. 1 will set in the desert the fir_tree and the pine and the box trees together. The wild- erness and the solltary places shall be glad for them. and the desert shall rejoice and blos- som as the rose.” Commander Booth-Tucker of the Salva- tion Army, who has led the Salvation Army movement for the establishment in. the West of colonles from the tenements duced amid great cheering. Senator Paris Gibson of Montana spoke on “The Repeal of Some of Our Land The other side of the Government land question was presented by Congressman F. W. Mondell of Wyoming. He spoke on “The Value and Importance of the Desert Land Act. “The Utility of Public Grazing Lands” was discussed by W. M. Woodridge of | Hunsdale, Mont.

W. ERWIN'S | the case and learned that WSITS STATION AT ELLIS [SLAND Roosevelt Spends a Day With Detained Im- migrants. PEARROEe Appoints a Commission to Make a Thorough In- vestigation. I 8 U NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—President Roose- velt to-day visited the Ellis Island im- migration station and while there ap- pointed a commission to thoroughly in- spect the station and make a personal re- port to him of the result of thelr inves- tigations. Despite the furious storm, a large party assembled at the island to greet the | President. He was welcomed by Com-| missioner of Immigration Williams. Before beginning his tour of inspection of the station President Rooseveit inform- | ed Commissioner Williams that it would | be impossible for him to make such an | inspection as he would like in the lim- ited time at hie disposal. Commissioner | Willlams then requested the President to appoint a commission to make a complete | inspectlon. The President named’ as. the | commission Eugene A. Philbin, Thomas | Hynes, Arthur von Briesen and Ralph | Trautman. The commission will report personally to the President at the conclu- sion of its investigation. During the afternoon many interesting incidents occurred, the President acting | on his desire to go directly among immi- | grants themse.ves with a view of ascPr-‘ taining how they were treated.. He | was particularly interested by the fact| developed that the majority of the ap- plicants for admission were supplied with American money. The statement was made by the.immigration officials that immigrants passed at the station carried | at the average aggregate $8,000,000 a year in American currency. The President's interest was attracted by a comely German woman, Adele Wal- ter from Leutendorf, wha bore in a wick- er basket a tiny babe. After chatting a moment with her the President slipped a five-dollar bill into her hand. She was greatly affecéed on learning that the gift was from the President of the United States. 1 As the President was passing through the room in which women who had been excluded were being detained temporar- ily a pathetic incident occurred. An el- | derly woman approached him, crving out pitifully. The President inguired about the woman had heen detained at the prison since July 30. On that date she, with her hus- band and four children, arrived from Russia. The husband and one child had BOND AND THE TWO SURETIES. & AMES W. ERWIN, assistant super- | intendent of city free dellvery and former postal inspector, was for- mally arrested yesterdy afternoon | on the indictment charging him | with conspiracy to defraud the United | re- the leased on bail. Immediately after notice of removal from the postal service of the United States Government. The service of the warrant took place in the chambers of United States Com- missioner E. H. Heacock ih the Apprais- ers’ building. Shortly after 2 o'clock the accused entered the court room accom- panied by his attorney, Samuel Knight, and his two bondsmen, Willls G. Witter | and Thomas Rickard. Among others | present interested in the case were United | States District Attorney Marshal B. | Woodworth, Postal Inspector James | O'Connell, United States Postoffice In- spector in Charge Robert R. Munro and Deputy United States Marshal A. L. Farish. Judge Heacock allowed the accused as all parties in Interest were thoroughly conversant with its contents. The Judge stated there was no necessity of going into the formality of identification of the accused, as every one present knew him, and there was no reason to instruct him regarding his rights as to securing an at- torney, as he had already provided him- This ended the for- mal ceremony of the service of the war- Attorney Knight asked that the case be set for hearing on September 25, as by that time he thought the defense would have ample time to prepare its case. The Judge stated that his calendar was pretty well filled up, but that he thought insomuch as the accused was anxlous for a hearing at as early a date as possi- ble he would arrange to meet the request of Attorney Knight and the case was ac- cordingly set to be heard at that time at 10 a. m. Attorney Knight brought up the ques- tion of the amount of bonds required for his client, and beifg informed by the Judge that $5000 was the amount required by the United States Government Knight sald his client was ready to furnish the amount, and the bond was forthwith pre- pared and duly signed by his bondsmen, Willis G. Witter and Thomas Rickard. Just as Erwin arose and was preparing to leave the court room Postal Inspector Munro stepped forward and handed him his letter of dismissal from the service of the Government. It read as follows: Office of the Postmaster General, D.°C.. Septeraber 3, 1000, o owton, Sir: You are hereby removed from the posi- tion of assistant superintendent city free dellv- ery, sald removal to become effective on_the date of the delivery of this letter to you. Very respecttully, H. C. PAYNE, Postmaster General. Erwin accepted the letter and after | probably because they knew they come over as cond cabin passengers were afflicted with a disease which would bar their admission to this country from the steerage, while the woman and the other three children were steerage passengers. The husband and one child escaped from the ship. Although the evidence showed that the woman had & son in this coun- try engaged in a profitable business, she and her three children were held up, After the facts had been developed, the President announced that there could’ be no possible reason for detaining the wo- her children were financially able to care for themselves. The case, however, is pending on appeal before Secretary Cor- telyou of the Department of Commerce and Labor, and he doubtless will release the woman in accordance with the judg- | ment of the President. | At 7 o'clock to-night the President, ac-| companied by Secretary Loeb and his personal attendants, went aboard the Sylph for dinner, At 10 o’clock they left | for Jersey City on the tug Chamberlain, | where they boarded the train for Antie- | tam. | The police arrangements in Jersey City | were extraordinarily careful, officers be- | ing lined up all the way from the ferry | slip to the train.

HONOLULU, Sept. 16.—Count Leonardo | Ersola Bonzi, a member of the guard of the King of Italy, was married yester- | day on the island of Kauai to Miss Alice | McKee Spaulding, The bride is the | youngest daughter of Colonel Spaulding, owner of the Kealla and McKee sugar plantations. She first met the Count several years ago at a fox hunting meet near Rome. The newly married coupie, accompanied by Colonel Spaulding, sailed on the steamer Alameda to-day, en route for Italy. They will reside temporarily at the Count's home near Milan, but wiil make thelr permanent home on Kaual. —_———— 1 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.—The Fourth Congressional District Republican Convention to-day nominated Reuben O.
