A large amount of land in Lassen
County, Cal., is being reclaimed by ir¬
rigation. One scheme is to place a large
siphon in Eagle Lake, and by means of
it water all the the sage-brush plains »
around. This desert grows all grains
and many fruits when water is brought
upon it. Lassou U one ol the counties
which has had the least growth in ten
years, but it is now, believes the New

development.

corn, and has decided to recommend the
use by the army of bread made of equal
proportions of corn and rye. It is be-

follow this example. Minister Phelp3

If the statistics of Great Britain art

over men and boys in that country is
about 900,000, an increase in ten years
of about 200,000. In Germany the num¬

of a money famine, and the masses of the
people can realize no prosperity until it
shall be relieved. How this relief shall
come and how it shall be secured, are the
questions for the publicists of this coun-
try to settle. The Republican idea is to
reduce the volume of currency. . The
Cleveland idea is to destroy the “dlshon
est money,” which means the same thing.
The masses of the people do not Embrace
either of these remt dies, for they are
remedies, would but aggr^vatorsYf the malady.
It seem to be moqument^ cheek
for any set of men to offer this remedy to
an intelligent people, but these are the
two leadingjideas from which as political panaceas for
the ills the body politic is
suffering. It requires very little percep¬
tion to realize that the demand is not
met and can never be fulfilled by either
of these remedies.

to see that frotn nearly all points
reports which note inactivity usual at
this season, also observe the prevalent
and strong belief that the business of the
coming season will be unusually large
and profitable. These expectations have
warrant in the fact that the quantity of
products marketed during the past few
months has been large beyond all prece¬
dent, while money markets are well sup¬
plied in nearly all parts of /the country,
and undisturbed by any alarm. Com¬
mercial credits and confidence are in a
satisfactory shape for the transaction of
an enormous business early next year.
