Anuelkh :—lt was my privilege, little
more than a year ago, to travel over
tiie irrigated Ileitis of Egypt; to wan
der amidst the luxuriant orange groves
of Julia, laden with their golden
fruit; to examine the vines in the
vale of Eshcol; to see the hulls of
Kashan on their native hills and the
coursers of Arabia spurning their des
ert sands; to drink of the waters of
the rivers of Damascus, and to see the
oases rise from the sands of the desert.
And 1 could uot then have imagined
or believed that within a year and a
half from that lime I should lie ten
thousand miles from those sights and
scenes — viewing all this, and more
than this, within the carnpaan of one
or two days travel around this city of
Ijos Angeles. Yet, within that space
all, this ami more than this, I have
seen. One thing that I miss from
among you, as I travel from place to
place, with which I have been familar,
there are no armed officers encounter
ed at every step—the policeman who
meets you every where in (Ireat Britain;
the armed soldier who greets you at
every station in France, Germany and
Italy. Here there is no military escort
necessary, or officer from whom to ob
tain permission, and no danger, as in
crossing the plainsof Marathon, when
each man must be his own protector.
There we found that the farmer was
compelled to go out to his field armed
with knives and pistols--the plowman
carry ing his gun with hi m to the field to
protect his life and projierty. I miss
all these in coming to California, and
find, instead, a population gathered
from all the States of the Union and
from nearly every country on the globe.
I find here the grave Spaniard, the mer
curial Frenchman, the sturdy < Jcrtnan,
the broad-chested Englishman, the
witty Irishman and the active Yankee.
1 find all these; all living together in
harmony and peace—and struggling
together for the advancement of the
country allotted to them by Provi
ence. Upon inquiring the cause of
this harmony, 1 might be pointed to
yonder Temple of Minerva, whose com
manding position recalls that at the
Acropolis of Athens, which is visible
at a distance of forty miles. This tem
pts of education, overlooking the
whole of your city, is a lasting em
blem of the intelligence and character
of its inhabitants. Supported, too, as it
is, by able private seluwds, and by the
daily press sending forth its instruc
tion in various languages, it is not
strange to find you connected with
lines of steamers carrying your pro
ductions to other ports; and soon, too,
railroad communication with other
ports, will connect you with all the
principal markets of the globe. He
must be more or less than a man,
who will fail to acknowledge the possi
bility of making this valley the garden
of the world. I feel as a minister of the
gospel that I am not deviating from
my duty in shaking of this with you,
for we remember that when our
Heavenly Father planted and settled
his children in the Garden of Eden, it
was not the intention that tbey should
remain there forever. Their charge
was to replenish the whole earth and
rabdue it. When His beloved Son l»e
--came man, and his last miracle on the
earth was to direct his disciples to cast
their nets aud obtain a miraculous
d raugbt of fishes.
But now, in ruganl to the subject of
irrigation, I feel that the merits of the
whole subject cannot be presented to
oyn at a single lecture. By way of
economizing time, permii me to re
mind you of —
I. The Principles of Irrigation.
The History of Irrigation in the
Old Word; aud *
o. The Facilities for Irrigation in
California.
I will first call your attention to some
of tlie first principles of irrigation.
Thus, as the workman gathers his
bench-tools around him to save time, a
few explanations will enable us to
have at hand, during the course of
these remarks, principles of this de
scription.
In the first place, water is the origi
nal condition of all life. You read in
the Ancient Oracle that in tlie begin
ning when the spirit of Cod moved on
the face of the water. This is as true,
now, as it was when Moses wrote.
Water constitutes three-fourths of the
whole bulk of animal and vegetable
lashes. Besides this, water is the
medium of communication by which
the various minerals that ure contain
ed In animal and vegetable bodies, are
carried in and through tlie system, and
finally deposited in their allotted places.
When you see a drop of water, at tbe
root of a tree, you see a little hodman,
who is about to travel up the trunk of
that tree. As the hodman sup)sirfs his
loud upon his shoulders, and ascends to
the top of the wall, in this manner,
this little agent will ascend through
the trunk of the tree, anti deposit tne
contents of his vessel, to Is? wrought
into leaves, flowers and fruit —in the
peach or orange as the case may Is? —
after which he must travel down again,
iv the form of exhalations to the atmos
phere.
The water contains mineral matter
in the average of two lo five grains to
the gallon of water. This is about the
average, but the water of your moun
tain sireamsisan exception to t his rule
for I am assured that water will yield
less thau one grain of mineral to the
gallon. This is, thereto*, the most
wholesome water in the world for drink
ing, purposes, though md, perhaps, on
that accouut, for irrigation. Besides
what the water contains in this way, it
carries in suspension, often, great
quantities of mud. The Nile, by its
overflow, deposits in tins way the until
which it leaves on the plains of Egypt.
All vegetable life is the result of irri
rigation, either natural or artificial.
And now with regard to the
BPPPLY OK WAT Kit.
When you are about to irrigate a -mull
portion of ground, you provide yourself
with a well or a small cistern. Now
the Great Husbandman, (he Lord, has
made provisions of the same son. The
ocean is his great depository of water,
the great well or cistern from which all
rhe world is supplied. This great de
poemaqr occupies two-thirds of the
earth's sinrfaee. The sun is the great
engine whit K> carries this water into
the clouds, aud thanoe it is borne out to
mountains and fields. The force of this
v great engine of the Creator Is enor
mous. In the Hay of Bengal, theevap
•aating power of the sun
ase hundred aml ninety-two
-P\ square find, during
Thinw It! Eight times tlie amount
uecessaWto produce a fruitful crop
over altwu land. There is reason to
believe tllj; In theUulf of California,
the evaporating power of the sun is
even greater than this Is shown to be in
the Bay of Bengal. The conveyance of
this water over the land is exceedingly
simple and exceedingly sublime. ThY
summer sun evsi«»rales lhe water and
piles it upon the mountain tops, in
the form of clouds and snow. The col
umn of heated air rises from the lower
levels hearing the vapors which bave
been disengaged (just as we saw it ex
emplified In the great fire at Chicago),
and the cinder air around presses to
the centre. There we could sec the
great coin inn of heated air extending
far above the city, bearing along
with it the sparks and light, and bias*
ing particles. As the fire advanced, the
olty became one great furnace, and as
the heated air extendetL there was al
one*' a rushing into the furnace of the
air from every direction. This showed
us, on a small scale, what is, at all
times, going on in the interior of con
tinents. We learn from an exploring
expedition that the heat in the Colora
do Desert was Hff in the shade. Hence
there Is there a current of air constant
ly going upward, and a corresponding
movement of the surrounding atmos
phere to that point.
The ((uestion now arises: Can no
limit be proposed to a state of things
like Ibis. You will bave observed the
moisture arising iv tbe form of fogs or
clouds f rom)t he sea Sometimes, you
will see heavily-laden black or dark
clouds, and yet no rains fall. Why
is this? The'clouds are carried away
by the current of heated air, which
rises from the Colorado Desert. Now,
what can be done to overcome Ibis
cause, and increase the rainfalls in this
country".' The remedies, to which 1
would refer you, are two: One is, to
cover these* mountains with trees -
planting thereon the iiepper and other
trees that will stand the drouth. On
the sides and lower levels the olive will
grow, und, lower still, the vine w ill lie
raised successfully. Each tree is an
electric conductor to bring down the
rain and distribute it over the lands.
This is one method, and a second is, to
cut an artificial canal through the belt
of sand and alluvial deposit which sep
arates the basin of tbe Colorado from
tbe Gulf. The desert or basin is from
to27sfeel below the sea,and through
this canal the water would rush InJJHll
ing this depression for a distance of
one hundred and thirty miles, making
a great inland sea of some 4,iXKi square
miles. This water will yield au evapo
ration o| 16 feet, sufficient to water a
State the size of California with SM
Inches of water every year. It will fur
ther cool the atmosphere and increase
the rainfall to the full amount required
for the successful product ion of cereals.
Thisis no new or novel supisisitioii. II
has been successfully tried before.
When the Suez canal eras made tbe en
gineers found two large, dry depres
sions, called the Bitter Lakes. These
were found to be several feet below the
level of the Red Sea. They were filled
up with the waters of the Red Sea, and
now, instead of the depressions, there
are two large lakes where before there
was/uily sand. These lakes are now sur
rounded with grass and vegottaion of
different kinds. Thischange has altered
the climate of Egypt, and cooled the
atmosphere for leagues around. You
can see the benefit of these lakes, by.
the hanks of clouds constantly rising
up from them into the air, and de
scending again in the form of moisture
and dew in the evening. These lakes
have produced rains in Egypt, a phe
nomena unknown in that country be
fore their formation, as far back as we
have any accounts. It rained three
times while 1 was iv Cairo, and there
bave been frequent rains since that
time, us I have since learned. There
can he no doubt, then, as to the result
of a similar application, in this case.
We will proceed now to look to the
irrigation from the cistern, to which I
referred. The next thing, after you
have raised the water up, is, to put it
into your cistern; and you place your
cistern high up, so it can give sufficient
fall. The Divine Irrigator does so.
He piles His water on the mountains
in the ■haw of snow, and there it lies
in safety till the summer winds return.
It is then cause. 1 , to trickle down,when
it is needed for tbe lands below, lie
sides, there is another met hod of ob
taining water by tbe banking up of ra
vines, ut different elevations, to hold a
great quantity of water. Of this class
is lake Tahoe and other bodies of water
in California. The difference in tlie
quantity of rain, which falls at differ
ent elevations, is worthy of notice. It
lias been ascertained that tbe rainfall
ou the summits of the Nevadas is 7h
inches, whereas, down here, it is bill
17 inches. There is thus live times as
much water on the mountains as there
is Upon the plains. You may, there
fore, economize iv the place for your
reservoirs, as they will obtain a more
abundant supply'of water higher up
tbe mountains, and hence they will en
able you to irrigate so much more land.
While the plains bave good lands, the
mountains are by no means to be des
pised. Thus, for instance, in China for
centuries, and now iv Lebanon, the
mountains ure being planted with mul
berry around their sides. The noun
tain of Lebanon is now producing, by
means of irrigation, the most valuable
commodity in the world for the pur
poses of Commerce silk. Our reser
voirs, then, should be appropriately
planted at the most elevated places pos
sible; but we must make them so that
they will not be swept away by the
Hoods of winter.
ANCTKNT S V.ST KM Of IKKIGATION.
The ancient reservoirs of Solomon
aiv constructed of solid stone, built at
proper angles, cemented together, as
perleel in all their parts as when Solo
mon left them. The aqueduct, which
conducted the water to tbe city of Je
rusalem, id so built of solid stone, like
wise remains. The dame of the great
reservoir in Spain is Ifii feet high, :M0
feet broad at tne base, and 70 feet at the
top. I mention this as an instance of
the solidity of the structures which
some of tlie wisest men of the world
thought it necessary to erect, for the
purpose of irrigating the fields of their
native lands.
A third great necessity for a system
of irrigation is, by proper conduits for
conveying the water and distributing
it over tlie fields, and for conveying
tbe products of these field* to market.
The same water used In the great ca
nals of China and India for irrigation,
is also used for the conveyance of bonis
to carry the products to the markets.
Iv the first place, the canal must be
generally water-tight, so that there
should be no waste of this commodity.
Accordingly, you Und that great pains
were taken by the ancients to make
their aqueducts water-tight. Some of
these ancient aqueducts ure still in op
eration iv the city of Rome. They
have withstood the decline and fall of
tlie Roman Empire, as well as the
■hocks of earthquakes,, which have
visited Italy, and are to-day employed
hi carrying water into (he city" of
Rome. Let us now contrast the system
of irrigation, thus shown to bave been
in use among the ancients, with our
system of to-day.
