Sweetwater Dam Case. "It is unfortunate that the members of the Senate Committee on irrigation are have just at this time. They have had an object hancen in the need for their work. The San Diego Land & Town Company has decided to let 5,000,000,000 gallons of water run to waste after having stored it at great expense behind the most massive dam in the Southern country, because a grasping landowner has secured a judgment for an extravagant price for the land used in the construction of the reservoir. This is the sort of thing with which, California has been cured. Litigation has dogged the footsteps of irrigation and every enterprise designed to develop the wealth of the State by the application of water to its thirsty lands has had to light its way through a horde of constructionists. If the site of Sweetwater storage reservoir had been reserved by the Government in the beginning, instead of being allowed to go into private ownership, San Diego county would have had the benefit of all the opportunities that it afforded. The 500 sites already reserved through the action of the Senate Committee mean ten times 500 lawsuits prevented. It is a pity that the government did not foresee forty years ago what irrigation could do for the West. If it had been sensible enough to learn from the Puebla Indians and from the Mexicans something about the way to manage an arid country we should have been a good deal richer than we are to-day. But the huge territory west of Louisiana was annexed without any thought for the future. It was allowed to fill up with all sorts of inappropriate and inconsistent vested rights and interests.

"Good night!" once more responded she. "My love my own!" And then: "Good night, my own dear love!" Again said he. More softly than a cooling dove, "Good night!" said she. But whether he said no again I cannot say, For I got tired of listening then, And came away -Somerville Journal. Features of a Conflict Community. Many of the prisoners were known among themselves by what seemed to be very old names, and I learned that they were nicknames taken from some circumstance connected with the crimes—they were expiating. Sometimes there was a ghastly sort of humor about these names. One, who had murdered a priest, was called "O Padre," the priest; another, who had murdered a man for his money and had found but half a pataca upon him, was called "Meia Pataca," half a pataca, about sixteen cents, another, for a similar reason, was called "Quatro Vintens," four cents. These are simply instances of how the minds of these people dwelt constantly upon crime, how they admired crime, and consequently gravitated toward it. About their work in shop or field, the daily bread of their minds was to think and talk of crime in every shape that diseased minds and perverted natures can conjure it up. One would entertain his companions by detailing to them the story of some crime committed by himself, or of which he had knowledge, while every one listened attentively, like so many experts. The story ended, criticism began, and each one would indicate what he considered the weak points in the plan and its execution, and would suggest improvements here and there. One story always led to another, and as might be expected, minds accustomed to this highly seasoned food soon rejected all other.—"The Convict Island of Brazil," by John C. Branner, in Popular Science Monthly. A Woman's Wit. Not a thousand miles from Boston dwells a man who has recently well a third spouse. It was the somewhat eccentric whim of the second wife to have a picture painted wnerein she and the first wife were represented as standing together with their arms entwined about each other's waist. When the third wife came into power, she was at first somewhat puzzled to know what to do with this extraordinary production of combined affection and art. With genuine woman's wit, however, she hit upon the idea of having the piece worked over, and with what result may be judged from a conversation, in regard to the picture which took place between the bride and one of her wedding callers. The visitor inquired if the picture represented relatives of the family. "No, not relatives," the then wife replied. "I believe the originals were distant connections of my husband, but the picture represents 'Faith and Resignation.' It is thought that the figure of Faith resembles a former friend of Mr. Smith, but I cannot tell, as I never saw her."—Boston Transcript. It is a pity that the government did not foresee forty years ago what irrigation could do for the West. If it had been sensible enough to learn from the Puebla Indians and from the Mexicans something about the way to manage an arid country we should have been a good deal richer than we are to-day. But the huge territory west of Louisiana was annexed without any thought for the future. It was allowed to fill up with all sorts of inappropriate and inconsistent vested rights and interests. The old English riparian law was permitted to take root under a sun whose glaring rays blazoned its absurdity. The natural opportunities for a comprehensive irrigation system were left to be chapped up and misapplied at the whim of private rajputies. But at last the eyes of the country are open. The magnificent possibilities of the American Egypt, with its countless potential Niles, are beginning to be understood. The Senators conducting the investigation, at least, will be able to speak intelligently when irrigation next asks for attention from Congress. There is no difference in the comments of the State press upon the Neale verdict. All the papers agree that it was uncalled for and excessive, and though they are not especially organized as courts of appeal, they at least represent the rough average sense of justice that obtains among the masses, and as such, have a right to be heard. Mr. Neale may agree with them if he should come out at the end of the irrigation with his unwatered hand on his hands at $5 an acre.—Examiner. Irrigation District. While great results are to be looked for from the beginning of the work of reclamation of the land and lands by the Federal Government, it should not be forgotten that by local organization the State, by virtue of what is known as the Wright law, gives land owners' privileges of constructing irrigation works, under a similar procedure to the school district plan, including the issuance of bonds. A number of petitions for the organization of irrigation districts under the Wright law have been received by the Supervisors, but as most of the documents were not drawn up in the required form, action had to be deferred.

The procedure of organization in brief is that upon approval of the petition by the Supervisors that they shall call an election in the desired district for its formation and for a Board of Directors; the vote shall be carried out and then result filed with the County Recorder. The Board of Directors shall also offices and their powers as stated are as follows: Said Bard shall also have the right to acquire either by purchase or condemnation, all lands and waters and other property necessary for the construction, use, supply, maintenance, repair and improvement of said canal or canals and works, including canals and works instructed by private owners' lands for resouls for the storage of useful water, and all necessary appurtenances.

It may be said that photographs can be taken by heat as well as by light. The action of the shorter waves of energy which we call light is quicker and sooner manifest to the eye than the action of the long waves which we call heat; but the invisible heat rays in the solar spectrum have been photographed. The slow action of heat in changing the molecular state of bodies is well known. It is probable that an emulsion could be formed which would give an image of a hot black kettle in a dark chamber. The element of time, however, would probably be an important one. Indeed we are often presented with evidences of the picture making facility of heat rays. A fern leaf upon ice is soon represented by the difference of molecular action. A stationary carriage wheel standing in the sun upon the frozen ground is found to have left its photograph upon the ground when it moves on—Professor John Trowbridge in A New Gunpowder. A new gunpowder, the invention of Mr. Hengst, has recently been tested, and the results point to it as a promising substitute for black powder for military and sporting purposes. The new powder is prepared from straw, which is pulverized, chemically treated, and finished in granular form for use. It is claimed for this powder that it is smokeless, flameless, practically non-fouling and non-heating, and that both the recoil and the report are less than those of black powder, with superior penetrative power. From the powerful character of this explosive, which weight for weight is 130 per cent stronger than gunpowder, and is not explodable by concussion, it is probable that in a compressed form it will be found to be applicable to blasting purposes. In every respect it appears to be a powder of great promise—Scientific American. The famous French physician Charcot, the specialist in nervous diseases, has a royal income from his practice. His fee from the imperial of Brazil alone amounted to $5,000.

No, not relatives," the then wife replied. "I believe the originals were distant connections of my husband, but the picture represents 'Faith and Resignation.'

Sand Bard also have the right to acquire either by purchase or confinement, all lands and waters and other property necessary for the construction, use, supply, maintenance, repair and improvement of said canal or canals and works, including canals and works instructed by private owners, lands for its revoirs, for the storage of useful water, and all necessary appurtenances. The directors also have the right to call special elections in the district for the insurance of bonds to carry on irrigation works and to assess the property in the district to meet the payment of the interest on the bonds and to provide for a sinking fund for their payment. The bonds form a lien on all the property of the district and can be issued to any amount that the directors can sell, but must be used at par value in all payments. These districts should be formed at once wherever there are people enough. The plan is one which permits immediate action. The Federal Government cannot be expected to inaugurate plans of irrigation for the benefit of private holdings, nor can any immediate result be expected in any other way than by local organization under the Wright law.—San Diego Union. Ancient and Modern Irrigation. San Francisco Chronicle. Tradition asserts that Noah constructed a zanja from Mount Ararat, to water his vineyard. In nearly all Oriental countries, the most ancient records tell of extensive canals and aqueducts, to convey water long distances, many of which already existed in prehistoric times. There are, in America, extensive districts, which were already abandoned to desolation at the earliest historical epoch, but which, in a yet remote antiquity, had been irrigated by a complicated and highly artificial system of canals, the lines of which still can be followed, and there are, in all the highlands, where the courses of the Euphrates rise in Persia, in Egypt, in India, and in China, works of this sort, which must have been in existence before man had begun to record his own annals. A single year's creation of irrigation in the delta of the Nile, where no rain falls, and there are no springs, would transform the most fertile soils to the most barren of deserts, and render uninhabitable a territory that irrigation has made capable of sustaining as dense a population as has ever existed in any part of the world. The irrigation enterprises of the ancient Egyptians were of the most stupendous character. The capacity of Lake Mooris, an artificial reservoir, has been estimated at 3,686,667 cubic yards, and the water received by it as high Nile at 412 cubic yards to the second.

Although all the water in this stream is appropriated at several points in San Bernardino county, yet by the time the boundary was reached between the two counties it is a large stream, which is diverted by a number of ditches and affords irrigation facilities for Sonoma of arrears about Anheuser, Orange, Tustin, Santa Ana and other of the most plain settlements. One of the oldest appropriations in this locality in that made by the founders of the Anahum colony. This enterprise was a sort of co-operative scheme at the beginning, and was inaugurated by a number of San Francisco nurseries, who purchased a large tract at a nominal price and had it cultivated for three or four years, after which they divided it up and each took possession of his portion. Before they diverted water from the Santa Ana river upon the tract of land that was almost worthless. Indeed, it was originally purchased by the colonists for little more than $1 an acre. By the aid of the water, however, orchards and vineyards have been brought to maturity, and every one of the original settlers has realised a competence. There are few of them who have more than twenty acres, yet all are well to do, and the thickly populated district of Anheuser, which but a few years ago was a desert waste, is a potent argument in favor of irrigation. The Entomological Situation. Commissioner H. Hamilton writes as follows to the Orange News about the new red-scale destroyer: The vedolia cardinalis is a most wonderful insect. It subsists upon the white cotton cushion scale, and it is a fact pretty well demonstrared that it can live upon nothing else. Its rate of increase since its introduction here has been marvelous. Durwhich is sheltered from the burning rays of the sun by the dense foliage. The ripening bunches lie on the ground, and herein lies one of the explanations for the large size of the berry. On lifting some of these bunches, it was found that the cannon would not support their weight. Above those big grapes, some of which are in large walnuts, are the branches of the second crop, which will ripen next November. The cannon will be too late to dry them for rains, and they will have to be sold as rain-grapes. On these fifty-five acres it half-been estimated that 130 tons of rains will be produced this season, and average of over two and one-third tons to the acre.—Ec. Water Development. We are fast becoming convinced from our own observation and the experience of those who may be considered specialists in water development that the time is rapidly approaching when the maximum amount of irrigating water which it is possible to secure in this section will have been obtained so far as the methods herefore made use of are concerned. It is apparent that much of the so-called "development" is but freezing the sources of those natural obstructions which prevented a free flow. After this naturally dammed supply is exhausted there is in many cases no reason to expect a very greatly enlarged flow, except where the relieving of the pressure takes a supply from some other "developer." It is true that much of the damp land will deliver an increased amount, and possibly without affecting materially the supply now going to contiguous property. Whether it does or not will prevent its use by those who may be so fortunate as to have the better situation. There has evidently got to be a stop put The Entomological Situation Commissioner H. Hamilton writes as follows to the Orange News about the new red-scale destroyer: The vedolia cardinalis is a most wonderful insect. It subsists upon the white cottony cushion scale, and it is a fact pretty well demonstrated that it can live upon nothing else. Its rate of increase since its introduction here has been marvelous. During the past week the Horticultural Commission of Los Angeles county have been distributing them in colonies of fifty each, to all applicants. More than ten thousand have been given away, and placed where they will do the most good, and for the week to come ten thousand more will be given away if called for. The Icerya Percha will soon become harmless in this part of the State. But the red scale remains, and in some parts of the county its ravages have been fearful. The work of disinfection is going on at all points. The resin wash is the chief thing relied on for its destruction. A parasite has been noticed in the San Gabriel valley, and last Friday our Commission accompanied by Prof. Coquillette, Entomologist Craw and Prof. Henry, of the State University of Wisconsin, went in search of the new comer. After a long and diligent search we found one specimen, a small calcic fly, almost microscopic. How long it has been here is unknown. One thing is certain, it has an ample field for its usefulness. It has the exact appearance of the parasite on the black scale, only not so large. We found red scale with minute holes on the top from which these insects came. The only way to propagate them will be to cut branches from the trees containing red scale, with the supposition that the red scale might contain the larva of the parasite, and carry them to the place infested with red scale, and thus spread the parasite. I did not undertake to bring them to our valley last I might bring with them the white scale, which is on every tree. But we made arrangements to introduce them to Los Angeles where white scale already exists. I am well satisfied that the resin wash, well applied and repeated, will be more efficacious on the red scale of the Santa Ana valley than all the parasites known. Australian Lady Bug Los Angeles Herald The Australian lady bug has so multiplied that there are millions of them now doing the beneficial work of destroying the white scale in the orchards of this country. Kercheval informs us that four hundred colonies of the vedolia have been distributed to orange-growers and others, and that the demand has been so far supplied as to leave no orchard of importance without them. Colonies have been sent to Mr. Elwood Cooper, at Santa Barbara and Professor Reaves at Montecito, where the scale has made its appearance. The commissioners are now turning their attention to the red scale. This insect has done considerable damage in a number of places, but recently an enemy made its appearance in the Sierra Madre Villa orchard. A few days since the Commissioners, accompanied by Inspector Compare, Professor Coquillette, Alex Craw and Professor Henry, of the Madison, Wisconsin, University, visited the Vill and Santa Anita for the purpose of gathering specimens of this red-scale parasite and studying its habits. They found that it had done good wood work in the Villa trees, having rid Mr. Cogawell’s orchard almost entirely of the red scale. The parasite is a very small insect. A quantity of them It is apparent that much of the so-called "development" is but freezing the sources of those natural obstructions which prevented a free flow. After this naturally dammed supply is exhausted there is in many cases no reason to expect a very greatly enlarged flow, except where the relieving of the pressure takes a supply from some other "developer." It is true that much of the damp land will yet deliver an increased amount, and possibly without affecting materially the supply now going to contiguous property. Whether it does or not will not prevent its use by those who may be so fortunate as to have the better situation. There has evidently got to be a stop put to that sort of "development" which consists in gradually enlarging the head ditches to permit the gradual "appropriation" of water, to which such ally poachers have not legal or moral right. The status of all the rights needs to be fixed by the court before this course will be stopped, and if no arbitration will adjust these claims amicably the sooner they go into court the better. The irrigation of Riverside have suffered heavily from such depredations, although her people have always preferred to avoid going into court where there was a chance for a fair arrangement of such matters. The past winter gave more than an average rainfall, and yet we think all the larger irrigating districts have found that the amount of water at their disposal is not as greatly increased as the extensive outlay to facilitate the economic handling of it justified them in anticipating. That further expense in fluming and concreting will save for use much that still is wanted there is no question, but we cannot but feel that all our clearing out and draining of cienegas, and the sinking of more wells in the artesian lands will fail to furnish the water required on the thousand acres of choice land yet untouched. We are not speaking of Riverside, but refer to other sections of our great country all about us extensive planting will aid in our continued growth no less surely that if they were under what is known as the Riverside system. A review of these things convinces us that there are two ways of developing, not yet extensively made use of, which will hereafter receive attention. One is the pumping of water from great reservoir underground, only practically where it lies near the surface. The other is the use of reservoirs. The winter flow must be saved. Bear valley will certainly be enlarged, and this will add vastly to the amount of land which can be covered, but there must be other sites selected along all our other streams and along the lines of the irrigating ditches throughout our country, where sites can be secured, and should be utilized. This will yet be done, even in Riverside, and without the fullest development of our resources is not possible. This view of the matter needs to be presented to the Arial Land Committee shortly to visit our valley. How Hair Thin Is Made Many people understand, of course, how hair cloth is made; but for the edification of those who do not we will explain the process. In the first place house hair cannot be dyed. It repairs color matter, so to make black cloth it is necessary to secure natural black hair. The horses in many cases absolutely wild, unstrrained, are regularly corralled and shorn. Of course, black hair is preferable, but sometimes black stock is utilized. Not only tails, but also the manes are cut; the hair is bunched. These bunches self-bound hairs of less length than two feet; some are even three and three and one-half feet; and the thickness of the bunches is usually two or three inches. The hair-cloth looms are provided with what we may call a upper or so finely actuated that it travels across the warp and seizes from the Barbara and Professor Reaves at Montecito, where the scale has made its appearance. The commissioners are now turning their attention to the red scale. This insect has done considerable damage in a number of places, but recently an enemy made its appearance in the Sierra Madre Villa orchard. A few days since the Commissioners, accompanied by Inspector Compare, Professor Coquillette, Alex Craw and Professor Henry, of the Madison, Wisconsin University, visited the Vill and Santa Anita for the purpose of gathering specimens of this red-scale parasite and studying its habits. They found that it had done good wood work in the Villa trees, having rid Mr. Cogawell's orchard almost entirely of the red scale. The parasite is a very small insect. A quantity of them were gathered, and Mr. Kercheval will experiment with them to see if by propagation enough can be bad to distribute amongst the affected orchards. There is a diversity of opinion amongst those who have studied their habitats as to whether they will propagate fast enough to meet the wants of the orchardists. If the Commissioners can achieve satisfactory results with this new parasite, it will complete the work of ridding our fruit trees of their last enemy. We understand that some orchardists are very successful in fighting the red scale with a resinous wash. Those who have kept it down by this process will have little difficulty in thoroughly eradicating the pest when they receive colonies of the new-found remedy. Frank H. Ball, the scientific viticulturist, whose orchard and vineyard are just on the edge of town, has already begun (August 20th) the work of picking his rain grapes with a small force of man. He expects to show the finest lot of rains that have ever been seen in this county. A reporter visited Mr. Ball's place last week and carefully inspected the crop. The yield of Mascot raisins (Debra Clusters) will be very large, both on the new and the old vines. His farm contains 117 acres, of which 59 are in old rain grapes and 96 acres in new vines. In the 59 acres of matured vines 4 acres are waste, by reason of roads, and from these 55 acres net Mr. Ball harvested 101 tons of raisins last year, realizing $135 an acre net, or $7,425 on the crop. The young vineyard, which is now in bearing, was planted only eighteen months ago from 1-year-old root cuttings. The grapes on these vines are large and as sweet as sugar and the yield is remarkable considering the youth of these vines. One of the stalks by actual measurement was four and one-half inches in diameter. The vines are planted ten feet by ten each way and wooden trays bearing the big bunches of the juicy membranes hunk in the sun in the rows between the vines. The pickings from three vines of these young vines fill one of the ordinary raisin trays. All the vines are ground very close to the ground, the top of the trunk coming out more than three or four inches above the surface of the earth, Carriage Painting Now is the time to get your buggy painted.
