This canal when completed will be about 21 miles in length and is intended to carry all surplus floods of the Truckee to a convenient point of dis- tribution adjacent to the large areas of reclaimable lands in the broad valley at the mouth of the Carson, The obstacles to this are easily over- come in the favorable contours of the | divide between these two river systems, | the annual flow of the Truckee being far in excess of the actual demands at present for both irrigation and power purposes.

The canal from Carson River to the viein- ity of Stillwater will have a greater capacity at its intake, and the line from the Truckee to Pyramid will have a capacity of perhaps 25,000 miners’ inches. All unappropriated Government lands within reach of the waters of this gen- eral system were by act of Congress of June 17, 1902, withdrawn from public | sale and are in the future to be held | subject to homestead entry only, and in amounts ranging from eight acres of first quality to perhap: acres of the poorest.

The lands of Nevada when well served with water will hold their own against the world in the present production of beef, potatoes and beet sugar. The| present time and development mark the | beginning of an era of inestimable scope and bearing upon the future of the State. The writer is indebted to L. H. Tay- lor, engineer in charge, for much data. The Civic Federation of FEureka, Humboldt County, is striving to get a new City Hall for Eureka. The Hum- s says the project looks well, a Board of Trade has reor- ganized under the name of the Napa Chamber of Commerce with the follow- ing officers: Captain B. W. Parsons, president; Frank R. Horstmeyer, vice president; E. L. Bickford, treasurer, and R. Little, secretary. The Stockton Independent says that midwinter finds building improve of more than $1,000,000. Monterey business men have formed R. Underwood and C. W, Allen, direct- ors. The directors appointed General Quinton, L. O. Dale and M. V. McQuigg committee on printing; H. R. O'Bryan. William Kay and L. D. Lacey, com- mittee on promotion and publicity, and L. O. Dale, H. R. O'Bryan and M. Brick, committee on membership. According to the Humboldt Times, Pennsylvania capitalists will erect two great mills in Humboldt Countv to work up the lumber and will build a railroad in connection . with their lumber business. According to the Red Bluff Sentinel it is possible that a Swiss-Italian col- ony will be settled at the Blossom ranch, twelve miles from Red Bluff. Engineers have been instructed to make plans embracing all that should be done to improve the Sacramento River. A builders’ exchange has been or- ganized in Santa Rosa. At the annual meeting of the Los Gatos Board of Trade a communica- tion was received from Herbert E. Law, in which he proposed that all parties in Los Gatos should unite to make the place “the Pasadena of the north.” The idea took well. The Grass Valley Promotion Com- mittee has appointed a committee to provide the funds to gat out descrip- tive literature for Grass Valley. This mmittee consists of Dr. Jamieson, the children of Israel out of bondangsa across the receding Red Sea, the land of mystery and ancient civilization, the land of the Sphynx and the Pyra- mids, the land of deserts and of dense population, the land where Cleopatra and Anthony lived and loved—from this ancient land we may learn a lesson that will. if we will but heed it, teach us how to make our beloved California independent of the vagaries of the gentle rain that falls from heaven, und make our State a more beautiful garden, a more fruitful paradise, than ever mortal eyes dared hope to look upon. As you know, middle Egypt, from Assuan to the mouth of the Nile, some 600 miles long by 8 miles broad, con- tains but 3,000,000 acres and the 3,- 000,000 people who live there former- ly depended upon the annual over- flow of the river Nile for the fertiliza- tion of their lands. But if the river rose thirty feet above low water mark great damage resulted to land and crops, while, if the river did not rise higher than eighteen feet a drought and an absolute failure of crops was sure to follow and a famine like those of Biblical times resulted. In order to conduct the water from the flood-full river to its parched and thirsty lands, in order to raise the one crop a year- upon which it depended for its very existence, ancient Egypt did just what the people of Southern California have done and what the the only real kind of irrigation, under which five crops of alfalfa can be grown every year, as can be done in many it is only in this way that the orange grower can be sure of a crop. Without it there would be no Pasadena, no Riv- ergside, no Fresno, no Los Angeles. And with it the great valleys of the San Joaquin and Sacramento, the great California ‘“Valley of the Nile™ will beat the whole world—bar no part of it—in all that goes to make the happy living place of a dense and prosperous population. As I said in the beginning, the irri- gation of ancient Egypt should be a most interesting and important ques- tion to every loyal Californian. ———— YUBA WOMEN IN LINE.

Forthcoming Publication Will Well Describe Every County. BY ARTHUR R. BRIGGS, MANAGER STATE BOARD OF TRADE. A true understanding of the work of the California State Board of Trade and a comprehensive view of its useful- ness can be had only through some- what intimate knowledge of what the | board does. The superficial observer is disposed to think its obligations begi and end in the daily routine of df tributing information in a mechanical way and of keeping up and caring for the exhibits of the State’s resources, which are maintained in the exhibit room. Even contributors to the support | of the State board, as a rule, do not find time to famaliarize themselves | with the work that is being dome, but| for the most part have but the brief mention from time to time in the col- umns of the daily press as a basis for their belief that good results are being accomplished. RELATION TO GROWTH. i The relation of the State Board of | Trade to the growth and prosperity of | the State is by no means expressed through the clerical duties of receiving and answering the vast number of let- | ters that come daily, asking for infor- mation of various kinds; or in enter- taining the throng of visitors that seek the exhibit room, or in the interest manifested in the books, pamphlets, maps and newspapers always at hand and ready for use in the reading room. This is a necessary detail, as is also the looking after the preparation and mail distribution of printed matter re- | lating to the State, which calls for the | exercise of intelligent and patient In-| terest on the part of those having it in. charge. But the more important| | decided to build a new hall. | Treasurer Benjamin NEW HALL FOR_ 'NAI BRITH Ll e Grand Lodge of Distriet No. 4 Decides to Ereet a Building for Uses and Purposes of Order —— | REPORTS OF THE OFFICERS b They Show That the Organiza- tion Is Satisfactorily Aecquir- ing Wealth and Membership —_— At the annual meeting of the Dis- trict Grand Lodge No. 4, Order of B'nai B'rith, yesterday alternoon it was The sub- ect was brought up in the report of the committee on property, which rec- ommended that a building be erected as soon as possible for the uses and purposes of District No. 4, and the report was adopted. Before final ad- journment of the Grand Lodge next Tuesday ways and means will have been provided for the censtruction of the new hall. It is provided that the Eddy street property is not to be en- cumbered for that purpose. Grand President W. A. Wise occu- pied the chair during the session. Other officers present were First Vice President M. H. Wascerwitz, Sec- ond Vice F lent Hugo K. Asher, Harris and Seec- retary T. J. Aschheim. The report of the grand president showed the district to be in a satis- factory financial condition. The grand secretary reported that during the vear 1903 there was a net increase of $9748 76 nominal assets, making the total $120,398 69. The number of lodges in the district is thirty-three, with a total beneficiary membership of 824 and total non-beneficiary a work requires a wide knowledge of the geography of the State and of its re-| sources; a close relation to all the va- | ried interests and the ability to analyze | conditions and treat them in an intelli- gent way. Inqui continues to of a specific kind, to largely increzse from month month, and the State board rooms are | sought by Eastern visitors, who repre- | sent colony projects and who must have practical demonstration and actual knowledge on which to base re- ports and recommendations to the peo- ple they represent. Since the beginning of the present vear much of the time of the manager has been given to this specific work. VISITORS ARE ESCORTED. In addition to ascertaining from Eastern representatives their require- ments, the work is followed up by go- ing through the State with them and by affording opportunity for a careful study of conditions and the opportuni- ties for establishing successful colonies in the districts visited. Among the very important Eastern representatives who have been in consultation with the State board during the present month may be mentioned the Rev. Dr. Carl A. Swensson of Linsborg, Kans., and the Rev. Dr. L. G. Abrahamson of Chicago, two - distinguished representatives of the Swedish Lutheran church in the Middle West. Their visit to California, which.was mainly due to the efforts of the State board, important colony settlements in the San Joaquin Valley, wrere in their opinion after a study of tie situation great op- portunities are presented. The Rev. J. E. Seth of Superior, Wis., who is now in the State, is making in- quiry through the Sacramento Valley with the hope of founding a large col- ony of Swedes of the independent Luth- | eran faith. The Rev. Mr. Seth is the pastor of the Scandinavian Mission in | Superior, Wis., and will have a large following if suitable locations and con- ditions are found. Much attention is also given to di- recting intending settlers who are seek- ing suitable locations for mercantile and manufacturing enterprises, and there is at present quite an inquiry for loca- tions in the interior of the State, where opportunity is open for establishing banks. In fact, people seeking oppor- tunity for investments in California, whether in land for the purpose of de- veloping farms or in any branch of business in towns or cities, ceive most careful attention. S INTERIOR. Close relations are being established | with the counties and commercial bod- | jes. This is accomplished through cor- respondence and by personal visits from a representative of the board. While the value of county exhibits properly maintained in the exhibit room can scarcely be overvalued, no county is discriminated against by réa- son of non-affiliation. From our point of view no ceunty can afford to be un- represented with an exhibit, but wheth- er it is or not its literature is carefully and freely distributed. An object lesson is always effective and lasting, and when supported with reliable informa- tion attractively presented in printed form benefit is sure to follow. The State Board is now issuing bulle- tins regularly at short intervals, cov- ering a wide range of subjects. These are prepared by members of the board and others who have expert and prac- tical knowledge of the subject treated, and thgre is wide inquiry for them as soon as they are issued. The annual reports of the board have come to be recognized as standard au- thority on climate, productions and de- velopment of the State. @he report for 1903 is now in preparation and will be more comprehensive than ever before. The board has in contemplation a work on the State throughout, in which all the counties will be treated individ- ually. In this publication, which is in- tended for free distribution, the coun- ties furnishing the best information will naturally have the advantage. It is therefore a matter which merits care- ful consideration from the various com- mercial bodies, for on them devolves the duty of having information Jre- pared. Every county has features of special attraction, and if these are presented in such form to make them avail- able, the State Board of Trade is then is likely to result in| always re- | membership of 134 At 2 o'clock this afternon the Grand Lodge will attend in a body the laying of the cornerstone of the new syna- | gogue to be erected at California and | Webster streets for the Congregation | Sherith Israel, now worshiping at Post and Taylor streets.
