WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... JUNE 1, 1878. A VAST IRRIGATION SCHEME. Some account of the works of the Cajon Irrigation Company - A Ditch 15 miles long and 8 feet wide and capable of irrigating 10,000 acres of land - Expensive Plumbing - Costly Tunneling - Great Importance of the Enterprise. In a recent letter to the Gazette I gave some account of the great enterprise of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. In this letter I will endeavor to describe the works of the Cajon Irrigation Company, an enterprise scarcely inferior to the work first mentioned in point of importance, utility and engineering skill. One pleasant afternoon last week, in company with a friend, I visited the ditch and went over the whole work. We first paid our devours to W. M. McFadden, the worthy Secretary of the company, who cordially extended to us his ample hospitality, and at whose residence we remained for the night. On the following morning, accompanied by our genial host, we went over the ditch and carefully examined the entire work. The workmanship displayed in its construction is admirable and worthy of much praise. This company had more obstacles to encounter than the Santa Ana Irrigation Company, and overcame them bravely. Stockholders may be assured that when this work is completed they will own an irrigating ditch second to none in this county. The main ditch is 15 miles in length and 8 feet in width on the bottom, has a carrying capacity of 4200 inches of water, miners' measurement, with a fall of 30 inches to the mile, and is capable of irrigating 10,000 acres of land. There will be three main branches, one leading towards the northern part of Orangethorpe and terminating near the residence of J. Guinn, another passing though the eastern part of Orangethorpe and terminating for the present near the ranch of respects. In January 1877, the ditch was entirely abandoned by the Land Company for over six months, and they, consequently, forfeited their title to it. June 20th, 1877, the Cajon Irrigation Company having been regularly organized, incorporated according to law, and took possession of the ditch. Up to the present time they have expended over $22,000. The cost of repairing the old ditch was over $8,000. The rates established by the company are as reasonable as could be expected. The full stockholders pay 25 cents an hour in daytime and 15 cents at night for 1 head, (100 inches of water, miner's measurement, is considered a head). Partial stockholders pay double rates. Non-stockholders pay quadruple rates. The stock of the company is divided into 300 shares, the par value of each being $100. At present there are about 22 stockholders. The ditch will be completed about the 1st of July, at which time it has been arranged that there shall be ceremonies fully commensurate with the importance of the occasion. There will be a barbecue, public dinner, speeches, and music. The directors are fully determined to have something more than a "basket picnic." Thus this important enterprise, commenced under great disadvantages, and meeting serious obstacles and many difficulties in its prosecution, gradually nears completion. CORYDON. New York Fashions.

There will be three main branches, one leading towards the northern part of Orangethorpe and terminating near the residence of J. Guinn, another passing though the eastern part of Orangethorpe and terminating for the present near the ranch of Col. Davis, while the third branch will irrigate the land north of Anaheim and part of the town itself. The main ditch will terminate not far from the Cajon school house. Upon all water gates padlocks will be secured, and the gates locked when not in use, and the keys kept by the zanjero. The managers of this ditch propose that only those persons who pay for it shall have the privilege of using the water. The water will be taken from the river about three miles above the place where the Santa Ana ditch commences. No dam has been deemed necessary at present as, at this point, the river flows directly into the mouth of the ditch. We were informed, however, that a dam would be constructed some time next fall. Much of the ditch has been blasted through solid rock, and flumes aggregating over 3,000 feet in length have been built. Over 265,000 feet of lumber have been used in the construction of the 12 flumes. The frame work of these flumes is made of Oregon pine and is strong enough to sustain the weight of a heavily loaded railway train. The boxing and mudsills are made of redwood. There is one large culvert, the only one under the ditch. It is made of redwood, is 120 feet long, 4 feet wide by 3 feet deep, and 8000 feet of lumber were used in its construction. In one place a large "fill" has been constructed, which is 115 feet long, 120 feet wide on the bottom, 24 feet wide on the top, and 26 feet high. Whenever a wash comes down from the hills, the water brought down in this way is generally carried off by means of over-shoots thus protecting the ditch from injury. The engineers have had many obstacles to encounter. The water is brought through deep cuts, expensive tunnels (one in particular blasted through solid rock) and costly flumes. The gentlemen who are the contractors and builders of the fluming and carpenter work, are Dean & Mackey, who have done a very good job for their employers. The estimates have been made by E. T. Wright of Los Angeles, and he has given very good satisfaction. E. Barricklow is the foreman. He has the confidence of his superiors and the respect of the workmen. The present Board of Directors consists of J. W. Shanklin, President; W. E. Shanklin, Treasurer; W. M. McFadden, Secretary; H. Hedtebrink, and R. H. Gilman. Work was commenced on the ditch some time last August, since which time it has been pushed forward as fast as possible New York Fashions. OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. TRAVELING COSTUMES. Before entering upon the question of costumes to be worn at the seaside, it behooves me to say a word in regard to what we shall wear in going thither; what indeed will be prevalent and popular for traveling anywhere. And here especially, I have the pleasure of saying "I told you so." I knew that the idea of short costumes, planted somewhat timidly last fall, would by this time bring forth abundant harvest, and it has been so. Upon them the changes are rung incessantly and every day almost some new variation comes to light. All means of material furthermore is being brought into requisition. The greater number are made with kilt plaited skirt, small apron or scarf-like drapery relieving the outline around the hips, while the cut away jacket and vest give completion. Often, too, we find such scarf or aprons finished with embroidery,and the effect is very pretty. Percale and gingham costumes are also made in this way, but not to the exclusion of a demi-trained shirt trimmed with flowers or knife plaitings and round overskirt above. The Lawrence, or washerwoman's overskirt, is designed especially as part of a short costume, and it is very tasteful. As a walking or traveling costume for girls from twelve to sixteen years of age, the Victoria Princess dress is extremely pretty—convenient also, as it can be made up in all kinds of dress materials, and is unusually well adapted to a combination of colors or materials. For traveling, driving, etc., the larkrick Ulster, with double larkrick collar is stylish and practical, as it is suited to light cloth, waterproof or linen. SEA SIDE COSTUMES The problem of how we shall get to the sea side being settled, it comes next in order to know how one shall dress after reaching such destination. The leading novelty in material is very thin camel's hair cloth in white and all pale shades, and crape in similar hues is also very fashionable. Open work batists wrought in crape like patterns is made up into elegant polonaises to be worn over silk or velvet underskirts. Some of these are richly embroidered around the edges and finished with superb fringes,the embroidery appearing also of course, on the corsage and sleeves. Grenadines in high and low degree appear, and in such variety that a grandmother of seventy can wear one as appropriately as her granddaughter of sixteen. The former would of course select the plain woven in black; while the latter would choose a style so ornate as scarce to seem grenadine. For we have them wrought in all manner of gay damasse and bourrette tristings, and in every combination of color, from the delicately refined to such as our brilliant reflections of every rainbow hue. Samples of all new materials are forwarded gratuitously to all parts of the country on and builders of the mining and carpenter work, are Dean & Mackey, who have done a very good job for their employers. The estimates have been made by E. T. Wright of Los Angeles, and he has given very good satisfaction. E. Barricklow is the foreman. He has the confidence of his superiors and the respect of the workmen. The present Board of Directors consists of J. W. Shanklin, President; W. E. Shanklin, Treasurer; W. M. McFadden, Secretary; H. Hedtebrink, and R. H. Gilman. Work was commenced on the ditch some time last August, since which time it has been pushed forward as fast as possible under the circumstances. There are at present 65 men employed on the ditch and 24 horses and mules are being used. The work has been constructed as economically as possible. Perhaps a brief history of the building of this ditch will be as interesting as the details of its construction. In 1873 the Legislature of this State enacted the Bush irrigation law, enabling the people of Los Angeles county to vote a tax for the construction of an irrigating ditch. By the provisions of this bill Los Angeles was divided into irrigating districts. In 1875 commissioners were appointed for District No. 1, viz: R. H. Gilman, W. R. Olden and Geo. F. Miles. In March, '75, they began to build the ditch 6 feet wide on the bottom and 2 feet deep. After this ditch had been constructed 8 miles, another district was formed, known as No. 2. It was proposed to make the ditch 2 feet wider and one foot deeper. The estimates of the engineer in charge of the second ditch fell short. After six months labor the work on the ditch was abandoned because the funds were exhausted. A number of citizens did not pay their tax. They said the law requiring them to do so was unconstitutional. Shortly afterwards C. B. Polhemus, agent of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, organized a joint stock company, allowing those who had paid taxes to receive stock in lieu thereof. A friendly suit of condemnation was brought against the former holders of the ditch, and the thing went by default. After the Land Company got possession of the ditch, things remained in state que for 2 years, or more. No assessments were levied or work done upon the ditch, the Land Company claiming that the dead of right of way which they held from Senior Yorba, was not sufficiently plain and was also objectionable in other embroidery appearing also of course, on the corsage and sleeves. Grenadines in high and low degree appear, and in such variety that a grandmother of seventy can wear one as appropriately as her granddaughter of sixteen. The former would of course select the plain woven in black; while the latter would choose a style so ornate as scarce to seem grenadine. For we have them wrought in all manner of gay damasse and bourrette tristings, and in every combination of color, from the delicately refined to such as our brilliant reflections of every rainbow hue. Samples of all new materials are forwarded gratuitously to all parts of the country on application, by the leading firm, J. and C. Johnston, Broadway and Twenty Second Street, thus enabling ladies out of town to make their purchases in New York as advantageously as residents of the city. They also have a millinery and shoe department, as well as all that is novel and desirable in gentlemen's furnishing goods, costumes, housekeeping goods, carpets and upholstery. Now as to the making of dresses materials adapted to HOTEL HOFS And the like, we find that the greater number are high neck with sleeves reaching to the waist. Alexandria princess dress is a handsome model for this style of dress. But sometimes one does well to show a pretty neck, and such a one may choose the Pompadour front, with elbow sleeves, and if one has a well formed hand and arm, or in any color to match the dress. This brings up the question of gloves for summer. For morning, there will be a demand for lisle thread, and so we see them brought out in great variety—plain woven, spun work, and with embroidery on the outside. Lay it to heart, however, that a glove of any kind in order to be stylish, must be long on the wrist. This is as a law of the Medea and Persians which admits of no exception. SHALL IT BE That an odious panier will again be worn? I think not, yet we have some few imported dresses which being fuller at the back require such addition. Let us hope they will fall flat, for if there is an abomination in my eyes, it is a panier or anything related to the bustle family. Cheap and very pretty fans, they cost about $1, are painted with bright autumn leaves, not set in honours, but scattered over the fan, each leaf on its own responsi- bility. Richer fans are of feathers painted in Japanese styles. Then again we have Russian leather, black and white painted satin, lace covered, others showing intermixture of feathers, and others of ivory, tortoise shell or painted wood. But I will not try to enumerate, for indeed I cannot, their name is legion, and I can only give a hint as to sizes which are medium. When one says now. "I DON'T CARE A BUTTON." One means a great deal. There never was a time when they were of more importance. They are placed everywhere, and there never was a time when they were in such variety. All sorts of pearl, mosaic, wood, horn curiously dyed, and brass, politely called gilt. "Fascinator" is the name given a pretty scarf of gossamer texture, white, pale blue, yellow, or pink. It is wrapped in some attractive way around the head and neck, often brought over the forehead at the back of the head, and lightly tied under the chin. They are cheap costing only 75 cents. Others are square, and may be worn over the head or in shawl fashion over the shoulders. The latter costs $1 50. Lucy Carter. Overbearing Fruit Trees. In California the tendency of most all varieties of fruit trees is to bear too early, or at too young an age, and to bear too heavy loads of fruit. If the tree is allowed to bear when too young too much of the vitality of the tree is taken away, in maturing the fruit and the tree becomes stunted and dwarfed. One or two specimens will not hurt a very small tree, but when a tree only two or three years old loads itself down with fruit and is allowed to retain and mature it, the tree exhausts itself and is not liable to recover and become of much value in the future. Orchardists should look to their small trees and pull off all the fruit in excess of what they are able to grow to full size and give good flavor. Fruit trees in California are also inclined to set too much fruit even after they have gained age, size and strength, and should be watched and the fruit thinned out. The Law on Recent Fashions. From the Hartford Comment. In an indirect way the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has been called upon to decide the important question as to whether a woman has any legal right to wear stays. It gallantly says she has. The matter found its way into court after this fashion: A lady was riding in a horse car, not crowded perhaps, but containing ladies to cover all the seats with their dresses so that the traveler had to stand up. The car stopped suddenly, and she fell over, breaking her knee-pan. She sued for damages. The company claimed contributory negligence on her part that she did not take hold of the strap that is provided for standing passengers. She set up on the other hand that she could not reach or hold the strap owing to stays which she wore, and that with the present fashions no lady could do so, at least without inconvenience and possibly injury. The lower court decided that the lady, in taking hold of a fellow passenger's hand, had done all that was necessary, and that, under the circumstances, she was not obliged to stretch up to the strap. It awarded her about $3,000, and the Supreme Court, reviewing the case, declines to interfere. It is a question of some sociological importance to know how this decision would be received by the sex. After first glance it looks like a declaration in favor of woman's rights, but it will scarcely stand analysis as such. It amounts really to the official proclamation that woman shall remain cramped, barrelled up, and unable to lift her arms, and content only with clinging to some other person's hand for support. And this is what modern dress amounts to? Of corset is. In the trial of the Widow Schnaible's breach-of-promise suit against Mr. Irishman, in St. Genevieve, Mo., her seven-year-old daughter was an important witness. The child had seen and heard some of the courtship, and the defendant had asked her how she would like him for a father. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice to Creditors. Estate of G. W. McKim, deceased.

One or two specimens will not hurt a very small tree, but when a tree only two or three years old loads itself down with fruit and is allowed to retain and mature it, the tree exhausts itself and is not liable to recover and become of much value in the future. Orchardists should look to their small trees and pull off all the fruit in excess of what they are able to grow to full size and give good flavor. Fruit trees in California are also inclined to set too much fruit even after they have gained age, size and strength, and should be watched and the fruit thinned out carefully each year before the fruit begins to bear down the limbs or the specimens to crowd each other. A medium crop of large, well developed fruit is always worth much more to sell or to use in the family than a large crop of small, ill matured and hardly developed fruit. Not only this, a medium crop does a tree no injury, while an overload of fruit breaks the tree down and gets it out of shape and forces the tree into a habit of bearing only every other year. If the fruit on a tree be thinned each year it will most surely bear every year and thus earn double the money for its owner that it will allow to have its own way in this respect. Again, a tree that is well treated in this respect will live much longer than one that is not. These rules apply to fruit trees of all kinds, but the peach, perhaps, more than any other kind will show immediately the effects of neglect, and will respond more promptly to good treatment. The peach is one of the shortest lived of the stone fruits. If neglected it seldom lives and bears for more than five or six years, and probably not more than half of the crops will be of any value; while, if pruned and cut back carefully each year, it will bear a crop every year for fifteen or twenty years.—Sacramento Record. Type-Setting in Japan. The advantages of alphabetic writing are nowhere more conspicuously shown than in a large printing office. The compositor stands within easy reach of every character he may need of, and a boy can learn the position of each in the case in a few hours. It is quite another matter where each word has a distinct character, as in China and Japan. A correspondent describing the office of a Japanese paper says that a full font of Japanese type comprises 50,000 characters, of which 3,000 are in constant use, and for 2,000 more there are frequent calls. The type is disposed about the composing room on racks, like those in a reading room, and the compositors wander up and down the aisles setting type and taking exercise at once. With so many characters it is no wonder that Japanese proof readers have to be men of intelligence and high scholarship. The impossibility of telegraphing single-character words has kept this great instrument of civilization in foreign hands, and made it practically useless for the natives of China and Japan. To these the telephone is an especial blessing, which they are not slow to appreciate. The Prince of Wales has really been performing valuable political service of late. Cottage and Lot for Sale.

NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE OF The Prince of Wales has really been performing valuable political service of late. His active attention to the affairs of the French Exposition, and the manner in which he has co-operated with the Parisians in their effort to give success to their show have elicited from the French people feelings of gratitude and gratification which extend more or less to the whole English nation. As a result, the French press has continued, notwithstanding the complaints of the Russian Embassy to Mr. Waddington, to reflect these sentiments in a most decided manner, and the strong pro-English sympathies which come from this quarter may perhaps have an influence in moderating the pretensions of Russia, to whom France and England in combination have already proved a serious difficulty. General Grant's visit to England has given rise to a singular law suit. The corporation of Sunderland entertained him when he was in the North, and charged the rate-payers with the expenses of a special train, the ringing of bells, and the music of bands. When it was done, there was the bills to be paid; and it was straightway charged to the Borough Fund. Some acute rate payers objected to the payment of the expenses out of the Borough Fund, on the ground that the money collected was directed by the statute to be applied to certain purposes, of which the reception of General Grant was not one. The Queen's Bench Division upheld the objection to the payment, and consequently the gentlemen who promoted the reception will be gratified with the opportunity of paying the expenses, not over $500, out of *heir own pockets*. People who are fond of "hitting the nail on the head," as they say, when making harsh remarks to, or of others, not unfrequently find that the nail they hit the hardest was on the end of their own fingers.
