THURSDAY DECEMBER 13 1906.
The San Antonio papers say the
City administration is rotten and
utterly inefficient and we say it
loots that way.
The president and Storer are
each working overtime in prepar-
ing "statements" for publication.
Reminds us. of a certain contro-
versy going on in our own state.
WE predict for Mayor Callaghan
a severe spell of sickness owing to
She fact that he has refused the
newspapers access to the doings of
the municipal courts. It will be
the death of him and per se
doesn't look very good seems as
if there might be something to
conceal.

A Vast Territory. Once a Desert. Now
Covered With water.
Yuma Ariz Many people of
Arizona. New Mexico and Western
Texas believe that the Salton Sea
is one of the greatest blessings ever
bestowed upon the arid West.
Those who take this view of this
newlv created inland body of water
are strongly opposed to the lecent
stoppage of the flow of water into
the sea from the Colorado River.
Mai. Gtorge T. Iuman who is
well known throughout the South
west is oue of those who believe
that the Salton Sea is the cause
of the phenomenal meterological
change which has come over the
whole of the Southwest including
all of Western Kansas Texas and
Oklahoma during the past two
years. Its oenencent rauueute
extends far down into Mexico it
is contended. Maj. Inmau is in
terested in a large American colony
enterprise in the northwestern part
of the State of Chihuahua. He
says that the change which has
taken place in the section where his
colony is located during the last
two vears is marvelous. When the
colonists settled there it was sup-
posed that nothing could be raised
on the land without irrigation.
Since the Salton Sea made its
appearance the rainfall has been
abundant and big crops are raised
without irrigation. The same thing
is true throughout the Southwest.
Mai. Inman says that he will
take up the Salton Sea matter with
President Roosevelt and President
Diaz with the view of obtaining
the cd-operation of the United
States and Mexican Governments
in preserving the new body of
water. It is claimea tnat it me
sea is permitted - to remain the
United States Government will be
saved millions of dollars that would
otherwise be expended in reclaim-
ing arid lands by irrigation projects.
Maj. Inman in discussing the
subject said:
The meteorological charlges
covering all of the Southwest and
a portion of Northwestern Mexico
which have occurred as a direct
result of this new inland sea have
been marvelous during the last two
years.' In a tew more years n ine
Salton Sea is left undisturbed all
the vast arid West will undergo a
complete change and will be made
to "blossom like the rose." More
changes will come about than can
now be dreamed of. On account
of the increased rainfall that has
begun to fall in the Southwest the
Rio Grande and other rivers will
have their present channels over-
taxed to carry the water off. Per-
haps whole towns situated in the
valleys of these s'treams will be
forced to move to higher ground.
It is not at all ridiculous to
attribute this wide range of power
to the effects of the Salton Sea.
Covering thousands of square miles
nrpa in what was once a desert
several hundred feet below the
level of the ocean it will not only
keep the air saturated with mois
ture but bv altering the tempera
ture it will change the direction of
winds and ooerate in a nember ot
nvs wto revolutionize the climatic
conditions of the Southwest
Tr is the theory of those who
believe that the apparent change
of climatic conditions in the South
west is due to the Salton Sea that
Mnrp the advent of that body of
water clouds from the Pacific
Ocean which were laden with
moisture were unable to get across
the Great exoanse of desert. The
terrific heat from the parched and
Mi;trinr sand rose into tne air
rind dissinated the moisture. This
made the region to the east ot tne
desert and and unfit for agncui-
ttir.il develoDmeut. Occasionally
in the winter season clouds would
crpt ncross the desert? and rains
would ensue in the arid region
Since the thousands of sauafe miles
of desert is now covered to a depth
of 10 to 120-feet with jyater tne
moisture laden clouds are able- to
pass across into the formerly arid
region of Arizona New Mexico
and Western Texas and abundant
rains are the result.
The flow of water into the Salton
Sea has recently been stopped by
railroad comnanies. i which built
vast dams. In a year or two the
water m the vast Ssea tvill De
evaoorated and it will be desert
. again
Card Club Meeting.
The ladies of the Twentieth
Century Card Club - met most
oleasantly yesterday afternoon
with Miss Addie Goodrich. A
very pleasant afternoon was spent
playing "five hundred" and the
game clearly grows in favor with
a better understanding of it. Those
present were Mesdames Kowalski
Celaya Creager.Porter Ashheim
Lavtou Rendall; Misses Julia
Bollack and Anna Kenedy quests
were:Mrs.Jameson Misses Alex-
anderand Motter- After a close
contest Mrs. Creager was declared
the winner of the first prize a
beautiful sewing companion while
six ladies were compelled to cut
the cards for second prize Mrs.
Floyd Lay ton coming off victorious
a silver mounted powder box.
TMiViotis refreshments consist-!
ing of coffee tamales and mints
were served. The next meeting
nf rlnh will be with Miss Anna
Kenedy on next Wednesday after-
noon.
He Did His Best.
A hungry Irishman went into a
restaurant on Friday and said to
the waiter:
"Have yez any whale?''
"No."
"Have yez any shark?"
"No."
"Have yz any swordfish?"
"VT- I'

"All right" said the Irishman
'Then brine: me ham and
eggs
and a beefsteak smothered wid
onions. The Lord knows I asked
for fish"
Contrariness seems to be
the
predominant trait of human nature. J
