DISASTROUS EFFECTS IN FRESNO, MADERA, KINGS AND TULARE COUNTIES — EXTENSIVE JRIGATION PROJECTS THAT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE ABANDONED. Fresno, July 28. The decision of Judge Ross declaring the Wright law unconstitutional will be a heavy set-back to this county, as well as its neighbors, Madera, Kings and Tulare. The cast side of Fresno county will not be so seriously affected as the west, where the great Sunset irrigation scheme was to have been perfected at once. Bonds for $2,000,000 had been voted some time ago and two unsuccessful attempts had been made to float them. Recently it was stated that arrangements had been completed whereby the bonds were to be sold to a syndicate of English capitalists, and the contractors, T. L Reed of Reedley and P. Y. Baker, were ready to commence work. The contract called for the expenditure of $1,500,000, partly in this county and partly in Kings. There were no engineering difficulties and the work would have given employment to over 1,000 men and hundreds of teams that are now idle. The number of acres of land that would have been brought under cultivation was 394,645. The situation in the Sunset district is complicated by the fact that $334,000 worth of the bonds have been sold, and these bonds, if the decision holds, will be just so much beans and brackish water. He is powerless to do anything toward their relief, and he fears trouble because the negroes are starving. The railroads offer to make liberal rates to take them out of the country. Later the consul reported that he received a telegram from Dr. L. H. Barry of Torreon, Mexico, dated July 23d, to the effect that 150 of the negroes from the colony were there in a desitute condition, with fifteen cases of contagious diseases among them. The Mexican authorities have prevented them from entering the town. A letter on the subject has been received at the State Department from Representative Bankhead of Alabama, inquiring whether the government could assist in bringing back to their homes the members of this colony, who are destitute. It is probable that if the unfortunate negroes are to be saved from starvation private aid must be extended to them immediately. The consul at Piedras Negras has been instructed to render any assistance which he can properly extend and to report any serious developments. Our charge d'affaires at the City of Mexico has been informed also of the condition of these emigrants, as reported by the consul, and has been instructed to inquire into the treatment of the colonists. The Department of State has no funds which can be applied to maintaining destitute Americans other than seamen in foreign countries, or to provide for their transportation home, and has been obliged to so inform the consul and all those persons who have made inquiries concerning these colonists. St. Louis (Mo.), July 29. A special to the Republic from Ciudad Porfirio Diaz Mex., says that 170 negro colonists arrived this morning from Mexico in box cars. Quarantine Officer Evans has isolated them in cars, where they will be held until all danger is past. Consult Sparks has wired for more rations, as several hundred more are expected to arrive of the 700 who passed through Torreon last February to make their fortunes through the aid of a colonization company. Nearly four hundred of them, starved, half naked and diseased, have camped for the past few days near Torreon. Such another miserable, hungry, barefoot lot it would be hard to find. They tell a pitiful story of deception. They were assured that the place was on a railroad, a good house to live in, five acres of land to cultivate their own vegetables, etc., plenty of game, and all were given a blank contract, which was guarantee them half the crop of sixty acres, which each was to take care of fifty in cotton and ten in corn. After they arrived they vainly tried to get the contracts signed, but it seems that not sorrow is our destined end or way to act that each to-morrow finds us no marriage day. Life is short and you fleeting; and our hearts though light gay, still like pleasant drums are best wedding marches all the way. In world's broad field of battle, in the bivvy of life, be not like dumb driven cattle—heroine—a wife. Trust no future; how pleasant—let the dead past bury its death Act, act, in the living present, hither within and hope ahead! Lives of man folks remind us we can live our lives as we and departing leave behind us such examples as shall "fail," such examples that another was wasting time in idle spot, a forlorn, unrified brother, seeing, shall take heart court. Let us then be up and doing with heart on triumph set; still achieving, pursuing and each one a husband get." THE HELD-UP SUGAR BOUNTY. COMPTROLLER BOWLER'S REASON FOR NOT APPROVING THE WAITANTS ON THE TREASURY. WASHINGTON, July 29.—Representative Adolph Meyer of Louisiana called up Comptroller Bowler at the Treasury Department this afternoon, and had a long confinement with him regarding the proposed hearing upon the constitutionality of the law relating the payment of certain bounties for sugar producers, which the Comptroller had fixed for Aug. 7. Mr. Meyer said that sugar producers of Louisiana, in whose half he had made the trip to Washington were satisfied with the date that the Comptroller had fixed for the hearing, and would be present at that time with counsel to present their views. He added that the sugar planters knew that Mr. Bowler had $5,200,000 of their money held up in the department; and they wanted to know what their chances of getting it were. He had promised to tell them on the 7th proxime, or thereabouts; and with that they would have to content. It is understood that Bowler holds that it is his duty, in view of the decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia in the case of Miles et al. vs. the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, to be satisfied of the constitution Recently it was stated that arrangements had been completed whereby the bonds were to be sold to a syndicate of English capitalists, and the contractors, T. L Reed of Reedley and P. Y. Baker, were ready to commence work. The contract called for the expenditure of $1,500,000, partly in this county and partly in Kings. There were no engineering difficulties and the work would have given employment to over 1,000 men and hundreds of teams that are now idle. The number of acres of land that would have been brought under cultivation was 394,645. The situation in the Sunset district is complicated by the fact that $334,000 worth of the bonds have been sold, and these bonds, if the decision holds, will be just so much waste paper. Practically little or nothing in the way of irrigation work has been done by the Sunset, and there has been a severe conflict between the Board of Directors, who are badly divided on the question of going on with the work or annulling the contract. At the last meeting of the board a resolution was adopted in favor of the latter course. While this wrench was going on there was a contest before the Board of County Supervisors between the irrigationists and friends of the contractors who wanted R. W. Penberton appointed to the vacant Directorship, and the anti-irrigators who favored the reappointment of Cole Campbell. Attorney M. K. Harris appeared for Pemberton, who secured the appointment, but it is well understood that the matter will be appealed to the courts. Harris is of the opinion that the decision will not affect the county, and that the work will go on. A prominent bank president takes the same view, but the general opinion is that the foreign capitalists who would have purchased the bonds will fight shy of the investment, and that even if the Supreme Court should reverse the decision of Judge Ross it will be a difficult matter to place the bonds in view of the heavy local opposition to the present directorate. The Sunset scheme covers the greater part of the west side of the county from San Jacinto to San Bernardino and into New Mexico line. There is an abundance of water, only needing distribution, but at present some of the best land is either flooded every winter or burned up every summer. The Alta district is so far advanced as to be less affected by the decision. It includes 129,927 acres, and of the value of $675,000 worth of bonds issued $525,000 have been sold. The celebrated "76" ditch is in this district. The Selma district has been unable to dispose of its bonds and the Directors at the last meeting were divided on the question of disorganizing. The effect which the decision, if sustained, would have in retarding the development of the west side may be judged from the fact that the Fresno, Kings and San Joaquin rivers can irrigate 600,000 acres of land in the three counties of Madera, Fresno and Kings. Sixteen systems have already been brought into operation, serving 375,000 acres of land. A recent estimate shows that of this about 300,000 acres are planted in cereals and yield a profit of $10 per acre. Not less than 3,000 acres are in fruits and yield at least $100 per acre. These fruits comprise oranges, peaches, pears, apples, nectarines, apricots, plums, cherries, pomegranates, figs, olives, mulberries, etc. Fifty thousand acres are in grape vines, one-half of which are in bearing and yield $100 or more per acre, while 20,000 acres are planted in alfalfa, yielding $40 per acre. The assessed value of irrigated lands ranges from $25 to $30 per acre, with an actual selling value of $50 to $100, while the assessed value of non-irrigated land is only from $5 to $10 per acre, with a selling value of from $10 to $20 per acre. SHORT LIVES OF OUR PREDIENTS. From some recent life insurance statistics it appears that the Presidential office is a fatal one. At Washington's inauguration his expectation of life, according to the insurance tables, was sixteen years, but he lived only ten years. The next seven President FARMERS DISCOURAGED. LIGHT YIELD OF CROPS IN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY. STOCKTON, Ct., July 29.—The outlook for the farmer this year is very discouraging. It seems though all things have combined against him. The crop, with the exception of that of the West Side, is the poorest known for many years, many fields not paying for the harvesting. The farmer has not even the consolation of being able to obtain a good or even a fair price for what product his land will yield. The price of wheat and barley is away down, and hay is selling at such a low figure that all the ranchers who can afford to do so are storing their hay. Various causes are assigned for the poor cereal crop, and in all probability they jointly affect the grain. Some say the aphids did not cause damage, while others declare that it was rust. Still others are of the opinion that the early hot days scorched the growing grain, while there are some who believe the whole trouble is due to the cold spring. Whatever may be the cause or the aggregation of causes the fact is that the crop is very light, and the best will do little more than pay the expense of putting it in and harvesting it. The grain looked very promising all along, and it was bitter disappointment to the farmers when it did not head out as expected. In northern part of the county the crop is especially poor. In the vicinity of Lodi the wheat yield will not be more than four or five sacks to the acre. Mrs. Gerrard of Woodbridge says that this year she will obtain only three sacks to the acre on land which last year produced ten sacks. The grain in the tule land is better, and the barley around Woodbridge, and in fact throughout the whole county, did considerably better than the wheat. The reason is that it does almost as well when sowed late Mrs. Louisa Franklin horsewhipped J. T. Tilley ex-City Building Inspector in the Police Court at Omaha one day last week. The trouble commenced on July 11 when a warrant was sworn out by Mrs. Franklin charging Tilley with insulting her in a meat market by chucking her under the chin. At the trial some days later Mrs. Franklin was present with her witnesses. On the stand she did not make her own story very strong, and when other witnesses, the employees of the meat market and others who were present at the time, had told their stories. Tilley's exoneration was complete. During the progress of the trial Mrs. Franklin asserted that the trial would not end her case, and she proposed to have satisfaction. As Tilley was leaving the courtroom on earmen woman stepped up behind him and belabored him with a rawhide, which she carried concealed until that time. She struck her victim at lest ten heavy blows. Tilley ran out, then back, followed by Mrs. Franklin, who declared she could get satisfaction in no other way. Tilley entered the courtroom to seek protection of the police. Officer Boyle interfered and placed the woman under arrest. There is a report in general circulation that Prince Edward, only child of Duke and Duchess of York, is deaf and dumb. No effort has been made to correct this impression; although it is clear that the gossip has penetrated to circles nearest to the court. That prince Edward and grand parents of little fellow, who is blind in line of succession to those of Great Britain, are aware of current talk there is little doubt, and their failure cannot be controled... SHORT LIVES OF OUR PRESIDENTS. From some recent life insurance statistics it appears that the Presidential office is a fatal one. At Washington's inauguration his expectation of life, according to the insurance tables, was sixteen years, but he lived only ten years. The next seven Presidents not only lived out their expectation of life, but the two Adamses, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren and Tyler exceeded it. But Harrison fell nine years short of his expectation of life, Polk seventeen, Taylor eleven, Pierce seven, Lincoln sixteen, Johnson seven, Grant seven, Hayes three, Garfield twenty-two, and Arthur fifteen. It is true that Lincoln and Garfield were assassinated, but the assassination of a President should always be taken into account as a possibility. Our first eight Presidents exceeded their expectation of life forty-five years in the aggregate, while their successors fell 110 years short. This may seem strange when it is recollected that the length of human life has steadily increased during the century. The compiler of these statistics suggests an explanation. He says: "The fact seems plain to me that the Presidential office is becoming too heavy a burden for any man to assume without almost certain shortening of life. The responsibility is so great, the tension so destructive, that I never again expect to see a President survive the full period of his natural expectation." Evidently the Presidential office is a dangerous one, but very few of our patriotic statesmen will ever decline it on that account. NEGRO WANDERERS IN WANT Bad news has been received at the State Department at Washington from the colony of American negroes who went to Mexico some time ago and settled on a tract of land near Chihuahua. A telegram was received at the State Department from United States Consul Sparks at Piedras Negras, stating that the negroes are in a deplorable condition. These emigrants went from the Southern States of the United States, mostly from Alabama and the Carolinas, under most alluring promises from the emigrant agents of comfortable homes in Mexico, but from all accounts they have been ill treated and suffured great hardships from the time of their arrival in that country. Consul Sparks says the negroes are scattered for miles along the railroad without funds, home or food, living on mesquite whatever may be the cause or the aggregation of causes the fact is that the crop is very light, and the best will do little more than pay the expense of putting it in and harvesting it. The grain looked very promising all along, and it was a bitter disappointment to the farmers when it did not head out as was expected. In the northern part of the county the crop is especially poor. In the vicinity of Lodi the wheat yield will not be more than four or five sacks to the acre. Mrs. Gerrard of Woodbridge says that this year she will obtain only three sacks to the acre on land which last year produced ten sacks. The grain in the tule land is better, and the barley around Woodbridge, and in fact throughout the whole county, did considerably better than the wheat. The reason is that it does almost as well when sown late as when planted early. The report from London is that the farmers in that neighborhood are very downhearted at the scanty yield of their lands. The average harvest of wheat will not exceed three or four sacks to the acre, and in several places the crop will not justify harvesting. The barley yield is more encouraging, although that also is disappointing. In the southern part of the county the condition of the crop is more favorable. The West Side farmers expected an exceptionally heavy yield, but the grain did not do quite as well as they thought it would. In the vicinity of Tracy the barley crop will run from seven to as high as thirty-three sacks to the acre. The average is from five to seven sacks, however. The hay is exceptionally fine. The Lathrop farmers do not expect their wheat to yield them more than two or three sacks to the acre. Not very much wheat was raised in the immediate vicinity of Stockton, most of it having been out for hay. At French Camp the crop is just about half of what is usually is. The report from Modesto, the county seat of Stanislaus county, is that the crop will yield from five to six sacks to the acre. One night when Mr. Isaac Reese was stopping with me, says M. F. Hatch, a prominent merchant of Quartermaster, Washington, I heard him groaning. On going to his room, I found him suffering from cramp colic. He was in such agony I feared he would die. I hastily gave him a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He was soon relieved and the first words he uttered were: "What was that stuff you gave me?" Informed him. A few days ago we were talking about his attack and he said he was never without that remedy now. I have used it in my family for several years. I know its worth and do not hesitate to recommend it to my friends and customers. For sale by Derge. A MAIDEN'S "PSALM OF LIFE." "Tell me not in idle Jingle, marriage is an empty dream, for the girl is dead that's single, and things are not what they seem. Life is real, life is earnest, single blessedness a fib; 'Man thou art, to man returnest' has been spoken of the rib. Not enjoyment, and There is a report in general circulation that Prince Edward, the only child of the Duke and Duchess of York, is deaf and dumb. No effort has been made to correct this impression, although it is set in that the gossip his penetrated to the circles nearest the court. That the prince and grand parents of the little fellow, who is third in line of succession to the throne of Great Britain, are aware of the current talk there is little doubt, and their failure to contradict the rumor has done much to add weight to them. It is regarded as little shot of miscoupled with the infirmity, in case the boy really deaf, was not discovered before this time, as he is now more than a year old. The portraits of the Queen's great grandson are exhibited all over London, some of those shown by picture dealers being of recent date, one in particular having been made during the latter part of June. In seeming corroboration of the rumor is quoted the fact that the Duchess of York has not been seen in public recently. Those circulating the rumors concerning the Prince's infirmity add that her grief has made the young mother who as Princess May of Teck was one of the brighest of her family, a recluse. "It is the heat patent medicine in the world," is what Mr. E. M. Hartman of Marquam, Oregon, says of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy." What leads me to make this assertion is from the fact that dysentery in its worst form was prevalent around here last summer and it never took over two or three doses of that remedy to effect a complete cure."

Once no more, Through life forever its loss deplore; Deep in sorrow or deep in sin, One king reigneth her heart within, One alone by night and day, Moves her spirit or curse or pray. One voice can call her soul Back from the grapple death's control; Though lovers beset her or friends deside, Yes, when she smiles another man's bride, Still for her master her life makes moan— Once is forever, and once alone. How does a man love? Once for all, The sweetest voices of life may call; Sorrow daunt him, or distress may, Joy's red roses bedeck his way; Fortune smile, or jest or frown. The cruel thumb of the world turn down. Loss betray him or love delight, Through storm or sunshine, by day or night, Wandering tolling, asleep awake. Though souls may madden or weak hearts break. Better than wife, or child, or pelf, Once and forever he lovas—himself. Wanted—Harry Pickers. Apply to Paul Poetzsch, west of Araheim.

Two large fruit packing houses at River-side, valued at $15,500, were burned Wednesday last. In one was stored $5,000 worth of honey awaiting shipment, while the other contained a large quantity of orange packing paraphernalia and many thousand honey cases. The loss is $25,000. The packing-houses were insured for $5,500 and the honey was insured for $2,000. The other property destroyed was uninsured. The cause of the fire is unknown. At 12 o'clock Thursday night four masked men took Rev. T. S. Rooks, the Baptist minister at Westmoreland, Kan., from his home to a place five miles in the country and tarred and feathered him. They kicked and beat him in a brutal manner and he is lying at a farmer's house outside the town in a critical condition. Mrs. Rooks went along with her husband and says that she knows the whitecappers, and will swear out warrants for them. Excitement over the affair runs high. Rooks is accused of trying to assault a young woman. J. B. Crouch of Medford, Or., wants a wife and wants one so badly that he has asked the State Free Employment Bureau, recently established in San Francisco, to assist him in the search. Crouch wants an honest, middle-aged German woman used to plenty of hard work, and he would not object if she had one child. He especially desires a woman who was born and reared in the country, as he does not want a wife pinning for the life of a great city. The lady must be willing to live in Oregon. No one has yet been found who exactly fills the bill, but the application has been filed, and the officers are quietly watching and waiting for a suitable woman to come along. Mrs. Stanford has been at Palo Alto consulting President Jordan about the opening of Stanford University in September. Her finances will not permit of any expenditures that are not absolutely necessary, but she will be able to furnish enough money to run the institution on the same lines as last year. President Jordan has submitted estimates showing that the university can be conducted without impairing its efficiency for $16,000 a month. Mrs. Stanford, in order to raise money, will sell off the stock on the Palo Alto ranch. There are now on the farm 600 head of fine horses. One auction sale will be held in New York and another in San Francisco. The income from Palo Alto and Vina ranches has not been large enough to keep the university going. was increased largely, which more than offsets the loss in those districts. The Supreme Court has decided that jurors in Superior Court cases are entitled to pay only for the days actually spent in court. A test case was sent up from Alameda county. After being in progress for sixteen days a trial was delayed by the sickness of two of the jurors, and forty-three days elapsed between the impaneling of the jury and its final discharge. The jurors claimed pay for forty-three days' service, but the Superior Court did not allow it. The case was appealed with the result that the lower court was upheld. Physicians in Jeffersonville, Ind., are mystified by the case of Grace Dougherty, 14 years old, who is believed to be dying at the home of her parents. In three months' illness she has grown a foot in height. The symptoms at first indicated droopy, and the attending physician said that was the cause of her ailment. Ever since her illness she has grown with vigor, having been only 5 feet tall when taken ill. When measured in the presence of a number of physicians the other day she was found to be a fraction of an inch less than 6 feet tall. The growth has been uniform all over her body. When she was taken ill she was very fleshy, but now she is emaciated, being nothing but skin and bone. Victor Adam, who murdered I. L. Baker at O'Neal's, in Madera county, on Tuesday of last week, was captured Friday, forty miles north of O'Neal's. When the posse was returning with him they were stopped by sixty determined men who took the prisoner away from them and hanged him to a limb projecting over the road at 1 o'clock Saturday morning. The wretch pleaded for mercy, but the men were inexorable. Public sentiment indoles the act in the hope that it may serve to lessen crime which has been of frequent occurrence in the mountain sections of the county. Four months ago Edward Ward of Denver advertised in a Carthage, Mo., paper for the address of his daughter, Hattie, whom he thought was married to a Carthage man, whose name he had forgotten. The advertisement came to the notice of Mrs. John Henderson, formerly of Carthage, now living with her husband at Perry, Okla., who opened a correspondence and found Ward to be her father, although she had known nothing of him, as he had separated from his wife when she was a child. A correspondence was opened between her mother, Mrs. Fryburger of Cleveland, Calif., Mrs. Stanford has been at Palo Alto consulting President Jordan about the opening of Stanford University in September.

It is understood that she is negotiating a heavy loan on bonds of the Southern Pacific of Arizona and New Mexico. Owing to this financial embarrassment she is anxious to have the government suit against the estate settled as soon as possible. An agreement has been reached among counsel to have the proper papers filed with the Court of Appeals at an early date. Interest in the decision of Judge Ross holding the Wright Irrigation Act to be unconstitutional has not abated. It had been announced in the newspapers that Justice Field of the Supreme Court of the United States concurred in the opinion of Judge Ross in regard to the unconstitutionality of the Wright Act. This the Justice denies. "I know nothing about the case which Judge Ross decided," he said, when asked about it. "I do not know the question involved in the controversy before the court. I saw a telegraphic report of Judge Roe's decision, but that is not sufficient to permit me to pass an opinion on it." The statement that I concurred in the opinion rendered by Judge Ross is based upon a number of people interested that the case which Judge Ross decided might be hurried along these with the Supreme Court of the United States at the same time the Rodesto case is heard. There is no obstacle in the way of the proceedings. It is done, alQuesada involved in the Wright Act will be passed upon at once by the court of last resort.

An agreement has been reached among counsel to have the proper papers filed with the Court of Appeals at an early date. Interest in the decision of Judge Ross holding the Wright Irrigation Act to be unconstitutional has not abated. It had been announced in the newspapers that Justice Field of the Supreme Court of the United States concurred in the opinion of Judge Ross in regard to the unconstitutionality of the Wright Act. This the Justice denies. "I know nothing about the case which Judge Ross decided," he said, when asked about it. "I do not know the question involved in the controversy before the court. I saw a telegraphic report of Judge Roe's decision, but that is not sufficient to permit me to pass an opinion on it." The statement that I concurred in the opinion rendered by Judge Ross is based upon a number of people interested that the case which Judge Ross decided might be hurried along these with the Supreme Court of the United States at the same time the Rodesto case is heard. There is no obstacle in the way of the proceedings. It is done, alQuesada involved in the Wright Act will be passed upon at once by the court of last resort.

Mrs. Stanford has been at Palo Alto consulting President Jordan about the opening of Stanford University in September. Her finances will not permit any expenditures that are not absolutely necessary, but she will be able to furnish enough money to run the institution on the same lines as last year. President Jordan has submitted estimates showing that the university can be conducted without impairing its efficiency for $16,000 a month. Mrs. Stanford, in order to raise money, will sell off the stock on Palo Alto ranch. There are now on the farm 600头 fine horses. One auction sale will be held in New York and another in San Francisco. The income from Palo Alto and Vina ranches has not been large enough to keep it open Mrs. Stanford has been obliged to hypothecate some of her railroad bonds and the same course will be necessary to secure funds for the support of the university during the coming year.

In this city the assessment issued orders which are of importance to the various military organizations throughout the State. One of the orders transfers Company A from the First Infantry to the Third regiment. It attaches Company A of Eureka, formerly of the Tenth battery, to the First, taking the place of Company A. The orders consolidate Company B of the naval battalion with Companies C and D of the naval battalion. Regulations also change batteries B and A of the light batteries into cavalry companies, making the San Francisco troop A and the company at Sacramento troop B. The orders attack troop A of San Francisco to the Second brigade and troop B to the Third brigade. The signal corps at Stockton is mustered out, and the signal corps at Sacramento is increased from ten to twenty men. A calvary company at Salinas is mustered out, and Captain Carrington of the regular army is detailed to perform the muster work. A cavalry company is located at Los Angeles, and Major M. T. Owens retired; is detailed to do the work of mustering. All companies of the National guard are required to drill with a minimum of not less than fifty men up to January I next. This rule will be enforced in order to give all companies a chance to put themselves in good condition by the first of next year. Several localities have feared that their military companies would be mustered out. The new orders will no doubt put all of them upon their mettle within the next few months, particularly in attendance upon drills. The secret of the suit which Atty.-Gen. Fitzgerald is being induced to bring for the disorganization of the Sunset Irrigation District on the west side of the San Joaquin River in Fresno and Kings counties lies in the greed of English stockholders and English corporations controlling property in the Fresno Canal and Irrigation Company. Says T. L Reed,a wealthy grain grower of the San Joaquin Valley: "The fact is that the law was strictly observed in the organization of the district. The usual condemnation proceedings were had,and the confirmation proceedings also.The district has been regularly and legally organized,and will withstand any test.Our estimates show that irrigation in the Sunset district will be cheaper than in the Turlock and Modesto district or any of the adjoining systems.The total annual cost per acre will not exceed 70 cents.Of this 40 cents will cover the interest and 20 cents the pumping leaving 10 cents for miscellaneous items of expense;an abundant margin.The bonded indebtedness is only $2,000,000,或 $6.66 an acre. "The Fresno Canal and Irrigation Company charges $10 an acre for water rights,and $62 cents an acre as annual charges thereafter for the service.The Kern County Land Company charges $10 an acre for water rights,and $1.50 an acre a year for the service.So you see the Sunset people will have decided advantages over neighboring districts.At the end of twenty years the bonds will have been paid off,and then the people of the district will own the water forever.The Sunset district is all right;the others do not worry us in the least."
