The request was granted. and when in the act of drinking the profound beverage one of the Young men present exclaimed. "Stop! make ns a speech. Its poor liquor that doesn't unloosen a man's tongue." The tramp hastilr swallowed down the driak, and as the rich li quor eonrsed through his blood, straightening himself, he stood be fore them with a grace and dignity that all his rags and dirt con 1T not obscure. "Geatleman," he said."I look to night at you and myself, and it sveuig te me that I look open the nicture of blighted manhood. This bloated face was once as handsome as vours.

The Colorado River Pouring into Salton Basin in South em California. Perhaps a good many of the read ers of the Courier will reaiember that in one of the articles by "Ten derfoot," there was a description of Sal ton iiassu in southern uiihtornia At the time the National Editori Party were passing through that part of the country water bad recent Iy come into this basin nnd lieopl were surmising as to where it came from. Some thought it was the nn der sea and others, that it came from the Colorado River. Later reports said tb'tt Irrigation ;ompanies had been sued and now comes a very in terestini; report from Mr Ueoree Wisner, a Consnlting Engineer of the United states Keclanmtion Sir- vioe and a member of the Iaternatiou al Deep-Waterway Commission who was recently sent by tlie interior Department to inspect the basin and report conditions. In his report Mr Wisner suvs "The great Salton Sink, ns it is railed lies in California, itist north of the Mexican boundary line Some years ago a private corporation, the California Devlopment Co., under took to render the plains in an about the sink fertile by an extensive irnentiou project. Water wus taken fioin the Coloi ado river at a pain about ion miles above its mouth and a few miles south of Yuma, Arizona. Many miles of canal were built, which tol lowed a natural Ue prvBsiou in the country and an old waterway, pasting through it pouiou of Mexico, into the region of Uali forma just north of the boundary, "Last year, as sumciciii water was not being delivered throii'Mi the canal for the purposes of the iiriea tion project, auothct cut was made n the bank of the Colorado u short distance down the river from the first one. This cut was not protect ed in any way, and the result has been that now the whole cmoratio iver is llow.ins through it nnd into Salton Sink, and a lag tresu water lake is taking the place of the plains. A few licures are suggestive: "At the point where the irrigation company cut the banks or the Colo rado, the river was 110 fuet above the sea level. The lowest point, in the Salton Sink is 285 feet below sea level. The Southern Pacific crosses the Salton Sink, and its tracks are 265 feet below sea level. W hen the Salton Sink has been tilled to sea level, tha new fresh water lake will have an area of one million acres, or over 1,500 square miles. It is reported tn (Jalirornia that the Southern l'acili'.i Kail road (Jo., boucht the interests of the Call for nia Development Company, paying t is rumored, $27o,UUU tor the entire property, which was once valued at three million dollars. It is also said that the Company has already ex pended about $U0,0UU iu trying to dam the passage through which the waters of the Colorado arc now flow ing, lint all efforts nave been m vain: "The river bank where the cuts were made, and all along that region silt, or sediment deposit, and Hoods that came down the Gila river and other tributaries of the Colorada last spring, cut away the bank, and leenened and widened the channels so that now the entire river flows in to Salton Sink, and no part of it in to the Gulf of California. The Colorado river is designated on gov ernment charts as a navigable stream but I walked across ths beet of the river dry shod below the point where it has been turned aside. "In the Salton Sink there is al ready a lake with a surface area of 400 square miles. This sink was once the bed ef a salt lake, or an arm of the Gulf of California; and when the water evaporated, it left vast beds of salt in crystals. A company thtut bad been mining salt has been driven away from its property, aud is now suing the California Development Company for. $1,000,000 damages, I was told. "The Southern Pacific has already been forced to move some ef its tracks and if it proves really impss- ble to stop the How of tbe river in to the sink, the company must build at least 100 miles of new road through a dificult couutry, to get around the shores of the new lake. Several small to wus and stations will be swamped and covered with water." Mr Wisner has a map that shows the outlines traced by the United States geologists, showing where the former lake shores were located. It will take twenty years to fill the sink completly," said Mr Wisner. This will not be tbe tl'st time the river has rilled up the sink. The uma Indians say tt happened about the ages of four old men ago. As the Yuma Indians live to a bale old age, it ia thought that this represents nearly four centuries. "The silt bearing Colorado in sourse of time mauages to build a dam for itself, shutting itself off from the lake, by depositing mud in delta; and it eventnallv turns luto its old bed and seeks its outlet into the Gulf of California. This has appened ' many times, geologists ?;. ibis report is especiallv interest ing to persons who are acquainted ltb that part of the country. The country on both sides of tbe basin billy and mountainous and if it I becomes necessary for the Southern. Pacific Railroad Company to move iU track, it will not only be a task of great magnitude but an I enormous expensi). The banks of tHe Colorado River all through that re-' gion are a silt, a firm reddish materi al, with very little sand or clay in it, which when wot, will net hold together, hence 'lie impossibility to spenre a foundation for a dam that will turn the flow ef this mighty river.

All Jrffim WASHINGTON LETTER. Our Correspondent Writes More About Railroad Rates Etc. ttjiorlil Corruionrtcnce of the darner. Washington, D. C. Sept. 25. 1905 While in New York the other day I met and talked with a man whose investments in mauufaoiuring and the jobbing trade are sufliciently large to entitle him to be classed with the millionaires. Tha an j nouncenient hatl jiut been made that Equator .hlkiu s Committee on Interna)? Commerce was to meet next November to prepare their bill which is the outcome of the hear ing in this city in the early summer. My fijend is not a railroad man nor in s; npathy with railroad men. He is a self-made business man whose eye toeth have bsou cut after sharp contact with the world and who has taught bis way to the for tune lie possesses. "I have just returned from a Irij through the South and West," ht said to me, "and I have come to tbe concliuien that if the States ever need the help f the railroads in their iidustrml development it is right low. RaiKvay extensions. double trucking of existing lines and improvements iu transportation are asked for all throngh thoee sec tions of the country. The States need them more than the railroads need the extensions, for it is a fact that the railroads nre having about all the business they can attend to al the present lime and with their present facilities. While certain new building that is absolutely im perative Is iu progress or soon to be so, capital is fighting shy of exten sions solely on account of their four of State or national legislation which will maktt railway investments more dangerous than they havo been in the past. So any new projects in the air arc held u. They will be, 111 my opinion until something rienmte develops as to the temper ot the people themselves toward tho railroad. "I believe in proper governmental regitltttisn of the railroads und be lieve that every business man dot. 1 have yet to line u railroad man who objects to a reasonuble regula tion one mat win eifpctuuiiy wine out the ubiues, the payment of re bates, whether direct 01 through the means of terminal railroads or switching roads or any other scheme. Ihey tell me the wiping out vt these abuses will be dirwetly beneficial to the roads themselves, and that any legislation that will Und to remedy the abuses effectually will be sup ported by them aud I believe they win do it openly. 1 believe it is a mistake where real reforms are need ed, to appeal to the passions of tbe great masses of consumers who are scarcely at all interested nnd who know absolutely nothing of this transportation question. "lioth as a manufacturer, u pro ducer and a consumer of raw mate rial, I believe that one of the most serious injuries that could be doue to business today would be the plac ing of railroad rate regulation in the hands ot a political body centered at Washington. 1 have traveled some thing like 10,000 miles, met a hun dred er more solid business mun,and have failed to see one that does not agree with me in this position. We kuow tbe danger tbat would come from political rate making, whether tbe hands of Republicans or Democrats, und betweeu you and I we don't care a continental for the political side of it. W know that the railroads ars always ready to meet the manufacturer or the pro ducer in a friendly spirit, and where reason instead of passion rules it is the easiest thing 111 the world to se cure modifications where we can fallow the mil roads that they are un reasonable or injurious te our busi ness. There is not a section af the country but what has been benefitted within tbe last ten years from vol untary reductions in rates or conces sions of some sort voluntarily made by the railroads to help open new markets or to assist producers to meet competing markets or to help aggressive or progressive communi ties who want to nnd markets. A Government railroad commis sion never could and never would help the manufacturer, the grain grower, the stock raiser, the miner or any other producer as the rail roads have in the past are doing every year. It is puic selfishness on their part of course, but tho fact re timing that when conditions need to be remedied we can get remedy very easily by talking with the men who manage the railroads direct. We do not have to put up tbe plea that will help or hurt that the Re publican or the Democratic commun ity, aid the working management of nilroads now has as little to do and cares as little for politics as the producers themselves. That could not be so if the rutc making power was in the bands of a political rate making commission, for it would be their duty to create a bnreaucy that would help the dominant party. Every practical politician admits this to be a fact aad yon can aot get away from it. If Congress will simply strength en tbe hands of the Commission in their fight to abolish rebates, to do awav with discrimination of all kinds for all causes in all sections of the country, and let regulation of rates alone, they will satisfy the business men of (he United States and they can satisfy them iu ao other way. It was a pretty good line of talk tbat he put np at all events. I deal it out to yea just as tbe eards came, so that you may look over his hand am! see if he does not hold a pretty strong hand to "stand pat" on. Tho chances are that the coming Congress has deen framed up by the Republican leaders so that it will bo practically a do nothing Congress, and if anybody thinks that the new and added prestige of the Presideat is going k move the stand-patters in the Rcpnblican party on the tariff lUt'stiem to do uny thing looking towards tariff revision, then h.- flops not know the temper of the aforesaid Republican stand-patters. The patronage for the new admin istration has about all been parceled out and many of the loaders of tho ttrpublican party do not care a rap what the President thinks of them or their attitade. They are going to refsse to make a river and harbor bill and many other big appropria - tion bills in the hope ttiat it will nein to cnl alown the dcltcit ia the lrcswmry, thereby hurting the in ternal impruvemvats of theconn try needed to facilitate the com merce of the cotiiitiv. iustead of making the nccesseirv annronriations and cutting down the htriff duties on many articles thereby letting 11 more importations nnd rettlni? the necessary revenue to fill the hole the Treasury. It looks as though they are also going to stick another tax on beer aud coffee to ueip in me lining process. That 100K8 new te be the reactionary and itaild-pllt program of the Renubli- can leaders.

She always dressed neatly, was jwpnlar and she deserved to be. She is the danghter ,f a most excellent farmer and is a splen did young woman. Sometime ago, she invested $500 of hor saved earn ings in a small farm. Later upon offering it for sale, she realised $70(1, aprolitof $200." Recently she has purchased aad paid cash for a 200 acre farm valued at $1,400, her sav ings having amounted to $1,200. There are many splendid people in the textile industries of this State, but Salisbury is willing to wager tbat no person employed at the looms can show a finer record for frugality than this. Miss Hoffner, in addition t. her savings, paid board all tbe while and relied absolutely v pon her own resources. Tbat she is not a worshiper of the golden calf, is borne out by the fact that lbe is now at home enjoying a well-men ted vacation.
