IC CO. BREWERY BOLSA CHICA GUN CLUB. A Short Reference Controverting the Many Silly Yarns Current Concerning It. There seems to be a lamentable lack of information relative to the purposes of the Bolsa Chica gun club. It seems there exists on the part of a number of the Peatland farmers the impression that the dock which the gun club has constructed across the channel in Bolsa Chica bay will so affect the drainage of their lands as seriously to impair their usefulness. The Santa Ana Blade recently printed an article taking this view of the situation, arguing from a misapprehension of the facts of the case, from which we quote as follows: "Residents of the Peatlands, south and west of Smelzer station, are agitated over the action of the Bolsa gun club in putting in a dam at the outlet to tide water at Bolsa Chica bay, as it is claimed, and with apparent good show of reason, that much damage will result to those owning land in that neighborhood. "The Peatlands near the tide water, as is well known, are low lying, and require that every facility for drainage be utilized to the utmost, and even at that, in certain seasons, some of this land is so wet that difficulty is experienced in cultivating it. "Is it any wonder, then, that complaint is made when, as is alleged in this case, a corporation trespasses on private rights by rendering futile the efforts of these farmers to carry on their business. "The situation as is alleged at present is this: The land under consideration, and known as the Peatlands, is in part unfit for cultivation without drainage, and in 1891 a drainage district was organized under a legislative enactment of 1881. Under this organization the Supervisors started the coning about $20,000 has been erected, and it is the purpose to lay out gardens and lawns and driveways, and in every way to beautify the locality as only men of the fifty members of the club has in view the erection of a cottage costing $5000, the purpose being to make the place a summer resort of the most large means able to do. Each of luxurious character. No place in Southern California offers better bathing facilities, and this the members purpose taking advantage of to the fullest extent. With dozens of pretentious cottages occupied by men and women of wealth and refinement, it is not difficult to picture the extensive employment to be given during the season to the laboring classes. Bolsa Chica will be a fashionable watering place, known the world over, and it will do more to attract favorable attention to Orange county than many of its critics at present take the trouble to contemplate. The clubhouses will offer employment during the season (winter as well summer) the club will afford a market for produce that is at present, it seems to us, entirely overlooked. Fresh eggs, vegetables, the celebrated Peatland potatoes and celery, fruit, meats and a dozen other essentials will have an active demand created for them, and the neighboring farmers ought to derive quite a profitable trade thereby. Since March Contractor Groat has had a force of men employed on the deck and clubhouse. At times his payer has contained the names of forty mechanics and laborers. This has distributed thousands of dollars throughout the community. The improvements already constructed and in contemplation will involve an expenditure of $50,000, and within a year the figures will likely go to $100,000. This serves to increase the taxable wealth of the county; and the improvements will continue indefinitely, for it is the purpose of the club to maintain the most fashionable hunting preserve and watering CALIFORNIA CLIMATE No Day in the Year in Which Fresh Rosebuds Cannot Be Cut in the Gardens. The climatic conditions of California when closely considered, upset completely all preconceived notions of the relations between latitude and temperature. The latitude of San Diego, the southern city of the State, is about three miles farther south than Memphis Tenn. The northern line of California is on nearly the same parallel with Boston, Mass. From these facts it might be thought that, although Southern California has a sub-tropical climate adapted to the growth of the palm and of citrus fruits, the northern part of the State must have the rigorous winters of the Northern Atlantic States of Iowa or Nebraska. The upper Mississippi. This is, however, very far from being the case. Four hundred miles north of Los Angeles, and five hundred north of San Diego, the summers are warmer and the winters not much more severe than in these cities. In many of the northern valleys the palm, fig, and olive find congenial home, while the orange and lemon reach their perfection. By a careful study of the topography of the State, and a knowledge of ocean currents, this apparent anomaly may reasonably explained. The Japan current, with its warm accompany winds flows up against almost the tire coast of the State, coming from the southwest. Wherever there is breaking down of the Coast ranch which must occur wherever the larger rivers reach the ocean, the warm will continue their course inland. Passes in a northeasterly direction they turn north or northwest by the Slocan range. This forces the isothermal lime This newspaper page contains a historical article discussing the construction of the Bolsa ditch and its significance in the development of the Stearns Ranchos company. The article outlines the process of building the ditch, including the use of private laterals constructed with materials like sandhills east of the pier. It also mentions the involvement of local businesses such as Smeltzer Station and Stearns Company in the project. The article highlights the importance of the Bolsa ditch in maintaining water quality and preventing flooding in the area. It discusses how the ditch was built using private laterals and materials from nearby lands, which were then used to construct the main ditch. The article also notes that the ditch is located near the mouth of a river, which provides a natural source of water for irrigation and drinking purposes. The article includes several paragraphs that provide detailed information about the construction process of the Bolsa ditch. These paragraphs describe the steps involved in building the ditch, including the use of sandhills east of the pier, the placement of pipes and other utilities, and the installation of flood control systems. The article also discusses the role of private laterals in building the ditch, including their ability to resist erosion and maintain water quality. The article concludes by summarizing the benefits of the Bolsa ditch in improving water quality and reducing flooding in the area. It also discusses the potential future applications of the ditch, including its use in irrigation and water supply. The image shows a newspaper page with text in English. The headline reads "THE SITTLE TIME TABLE." Below the headline, there are several columns of text that appear to be articles or news stories. The text is organized into paragraphs with headings and subheadings. Here is a transcription of the text from the image: "BEER REWERY PROPRIETOR Weekly Gazette. Published 1870." --- **Page 1:** "The situation as is alleged at present is this: The land under consideration, and known as the Peatlands, is in part unfit for cultivation without drainage, and in 1891 a drainage district was organized under a legislative enactment of 1881. Under this organization the Supervisors started the construction of the Bolsa ditch, and for that purpose secured a deed from the Stearns Ranchos company to a strip of land 30 feet wide and extending from a point a short distance west of the Bolsa store to tide water at Bolsa Chica bay. A 30-foot strip for a lateral running west from Smeltzer station to connect with the main ditch was also deeded by the Stearns company to the county at the same time. "The Bolsa ditch was thus built and with private laterals since constructed has made of that region one of the most valuable farming sections of its size in the State. About eighteen months ago, however, it was found that the act under which this drainage district had been organized was unconstitutional, and as no legal assessment could be made to defray the expense of keeping the ditch in order, the work had to be done by those immediately interested. This, it would naturally seem, was a bad enough condition of affairs, without any further trouble, but the purchase of the lands at Bolsa Chica bay, and the subsequent building of a dam across that natural drainage outlet has apparently added the last straw. "The corporation known as the Bolsa gun club is held accountable for the alleged trespass, as they, after acquiring by purchase from the Stearns Ranchos company a tract of 2000 acres, including the Bolsa Chica bay, built a dam across the outlet for the alleged purpose of forming a game preserve by making a fresh water lake as a resort for wild fowl. "The dam is about 300 feet long, and extends all the way across the bay. The original intention of the gun club is said to have been to put in a gate or gates to let off the accumulation of drainage water at low tide, but from faulty construction or some other cause the dam thus planned has been twice washed out, and is now said to be built solid and without any gates at all. This has blocked the outlet so that the water is stagnant in the ditch for two miles north of the tideway, and in many places nearer the ocean the water has risen almost to the surface. It can thus be seen if such are the conditions in a period of comparative drought, what may be expected when the rains begin? But the settlers are not going to submit to loss and damage without a protest, and if a protest has not the desired effect stronger measures will at once be taken to remedy the alleged evil. "A petition, largely signed, will be presented to the Supervisors at the next meeting of the board asking them to take some action in the matter, and if that has not the desired effect then step, it is claimed, will be a suit against the gun club. "Prominent business men of this city are interested in this matter as well as the smaller landholders who live on their claims, and if the facts are as alleged the gun club will meet with strentuous and well-directed resistance to its encroachment on the settlers' created for them, and the neighboring farmers ought to derive quite a profitable trade thereby. Since March Contractor Groat has had a force of men employed on the deck and clubhouse. At times his payroll has contained the names of forty mechanics and laborers. This has distributed thousands of dollars throughout the community. The improvements already constructed and in contemplation will involve an expenditure of $50,000, and within a year the figures will likely go to $100,000. This serves to increase the taxable wealth of the county; and the improvements will continue indefinitely, for it is the purpose of the club to maintain the most fashionable hunting preserve and watering place on the coast. Mr. Botsford, the President of the club, is a gentleman with whom the Peatlanders should get in closer touch—he and his club should be welcomed instead of criticised. He has made the statement that he does not intend to impair the usefulness of a single foot of Peatland territory. If it shall turn out to be true that imperfect drainage exists by virtue of the dock, he stands ready to construct an opening into the sea through the sandhills east of the pier. But he is of opinion that instead of damaging the upper lands, the lake will improve them, by affording them additional drainage. Furthermore, should any of the drained land be rendered valueless for crops, no doubt an easy method of settling matters could be effected by the sale of land to the club. However, the advice of a Santa Ana paper, thatthe farmers go tothe dock and "tear it out,"is untenable and aburd. The club has a United States patent forthe tide lands,ownsthe propertywhichhasbeenfencedin,andselectedsiteinthefirstplaceasofferingthebestnaturaladvantagesfromamonga numberofavailablesitesofferedthemalongthecoastline.Of course,thedoest believethereexiststheremotestintentionoffollowingthisbombasticadvice,nor do we thinkthereisanyverygreatobjectiononthepartofthePeatlanderstothepresenceofthedockortheimprovementstheclubismaking.Atanyrate,thedifferencebetweentheshouldse susceptibleofanamicableandfriendlysettlement.Letthegunclubimprovethebeach,andaddthirethousandstothetaxablewealthofthecounty." **Charles Neipp, Cook:** Charley Neipp writes from Jolo, P.I., as follows to Henry Boege: JOLO,P.I.,August 11,1899.

THE Blade should have acquainted it self better as to the merits of the case before printing so much misinformation relative to an undertaking which should be welcomed by the people of Orange county, rather than to characterize it with reproach; or with threats that the work already accomplished should be torn out and the plans of the club set at naught. Another Santa Ana paper, we believe, recently advised the farmers to go to the scene of the dam, and destroy it, and to warn the club that on a repetition of their "offense" condign punishment would be visited upon them. We do not know whether these were the exact words, but the article was more or less inflammatory and in exceedingly bad taste. Let us listen for a moment to the evidence upon the other side of the case. The dam, which has been thrown across the channel at Bolsa Chica bay, is 510 feet in length. It contains a wierway or outlet 72 feet long and 8 feet high to permit the waters of the inner lake to flow into the outer bay. The floor of this wierway is at the level of low tide, and is as low as it can be constructed. When the tide flows in the gates are closed, thus keeping out the waters. When the tide recedes, the gates are opened automatically and the tide flows out, and continues in its ebb until it reaches the lower water mark. We have it on the word of one of the members of the club that the water is lower about the upper lands than it ever was, and that, so far from overflowing them, it has actually reeded. Moreover, the water in the inner bay is thus being transformed into a lake of sweet water, whereas formerly the water was salty. The gun club has purchased a tract of 2700 acres at this point, and is now engaged in the commendable task of transforming what has been a bleak and desolate sweep of sandhills into one of the most beautiful watering places on the coast. A clubhouse cost- very hot, although I am around a good deal of heat now—I am company cook—and rank as a sergeant. We live very good; of course, we cannot get everything as in the States, except chickens, of which we consume many, and the price is cheap. I like soldier life. In the harbor there is a merchant ship from Singapore flying the British flag, the cruiser Charleston, the gunboat Castine and a small steamer from Manila which today brought recruits and mail.

A returned sailor from Manila was drinking beer the other day in a road-house, two tables over from the agent of the brewing company. "I see you wear the cap ribbon of the McCulloch on your handlebars," said the agent, coming over; "were you at Manilla?" "Yes." "May 1?" "Yes, and to December, for the matter of that." "We sent fifty barrels of this beer over there to you fellows right after the big fight. Got there about the 1st of August, I guess." "Yes, I think I remember." "How did you like it?" "Fine stuff, I'm told." "Taste good in that hot country?" "I don't know. You see——" "Do you mean to say you didn't get any good of that big shipment?" "Oh, yes, I got good of it. You see, with every barrel were two pictures—lithographs of a pretty girl sitting on earth and looking down, for she was ashamed of her shirtwaist. The officers sent one of those pictures forward, and we enlisted men were allowed to look at it."—Argonaut. This Is Your Opportunity.

The Coast range of mountains rather the Coast ranges, for they overlay each other through their extent, runs almost parallel to the entire length of the State overlapping of the many spurs multitude of valleys, which will adjacent foothills constitute productive portion of the State. Some of these valleys are so sensitive that they lose their valleys, and seem vast inland. The valleys opening to the west what is designated as the coast climate moist and equable; certainly free from frost, where ice is rarely necessary; the ocean ice plunging abundant moisture for plants. The valleys opening inland are fully under the equalizing infiltration of the ocean. They have greater elevation in temperature, but are all proximate and very desirable as places for making. On the other side there are extensive plains, all deriving their tages arising from proximity Pacific. All this region is also from it that most of our seasonal fruits and winter vegetation produced. Except in the extreme north rarely falls upon the coast moors and when it does lies but a shad Of course the climate is healthy; the ocean breezes keep the air and a little way from the low coast make a most delightful arating climate. We come next to the greatest valley with the smaller valleys are in themselves immense; they are seemingly dwarfed by whose magnitude can hardly be realized.

The Japan curwith its warm accompanying flows up against almost the enast of the State, coming from southwest. Wherever there is a ring down of the Coast range, must occur wherever the larger reach the ocean, the warm winds are their course inland. Passing northeasterly direction they are north or northwest by the Sierra. This forces the isothermal lines abrupt, and the canyons are vaster and deeper. Here lies the great Yosemite, and here are, also, many other partially enclosed valleys, rivaling in grandeur the most impressive scenery of the old world. The Sierra range swinging toward the west to meet an eastern trend of the Coast range, unites with it at a point a little north of Mt. Shasta, and again at the Tehachapi Pass in the south, making an almost entire mountain surrounding of the great central valley. This range, of considerable greater altitude than the Coast range, carries upon its lofty summits a crest of snow, often from year to year. Here, too, above the great glacial action are the groves of big trees, (sequoia gigantia) perhaps the most majestic and symmetrical trees in the world. This topic cannot be better introduced than by the following report of Lieut. John P. Findley, of the Weather Bureau, made some years ago, after a careful study of California: "Theoretically, California should furnish the best and most varied health resorts and sanitariums in the United States. Within her borders almost every form of wasting disease should find the means of temporary, if not permanent, relief. "While our present knowledge warrants this assumption, yet practically the truth of this statement, in all necessary details, must be developed and tested by adequate scientific research." What is here stated theoretically has been, and is being, abundantly established by practical demonstration. The State abounds in health resorts, and large numbers come from less favored localities, availing themselves of the climatic and other advantages here offered. The fact that many come, trying to run away from death when it is too late, or when the disease is perhaps incurable, increases somewhat the death-rate of the State. It can hardly be expected that climate and surroundings can cure anything, but it is safe to say that by an intelligent selection of locality, all that ERWIN BARR'S WATER THEFT Zanjero Brunworth Hunts for and Locates the Hidden Pipe Line Tapping the Main Ditch Which Runs by Barr's Place. Erwin Barr's hidden pipe which taps the main ditch running by his place, and which has done so, according to the word of his neighbors, for perhaps ten or more years, was located on Thursday last at noon by Zanjero Brunworth, who immediately reported the matter to the local Directors of the water board. Mr. Brunworth's first intimation of the existence of the pipe was gleaned from perusal of Henry Smith's communication in our last issue. He had cleaned out the ditch once every year since acting as zanjero and had never seen the pipe—was surprised to learn of its existence. Securing information from Mr. Smith as to the precise location of the pipe, Mr. Brunworth drove over to Barr's place in search of it. At the point designated, he discovered a row of stakes driven in the ditch in a circular form, beginning at one end of the northern side of the ditch and curving out a half foot and then curving to the bank a foot or so from the point of beginning. He had noticed these stakes in the ditch before, but never for a minute suspected they were there for the purpose of shielding the hidden pipe with which Barr Stole water from the company. At the point indicated there had been a foot bridge, which Barr had maintained for his own private use in crossing to the cemetery on the south. Mr. Brunworth some time ago compelled Barr to remove it, as it was too low and interfered with the running of water. The stakes, he had always thought, were for the purpose of protecting the banks of the ditch. Once, in fact, Barr had come to his In many of the northern cities. In many of the northern palm, fig, and olive find a real home, while the orange and teach their perfection. Careful study of the topography state, and a knowledge of oceanic waters, this apparent anomaly may be fully explained. The Japan curve with its warm accompanying flows up against almost the eastmost of the State, coming from southwest. Wherever there is a long down of the Coast range, it must occur wherever the larger reach the ocean, the warm winds take their course inland. Passing northeasterly direction they are north or northwest by the Sierra. This forces the isothermal lines so that the summer isotherm to form of an inverted capital U, the curve reaching almost to coast, the sides extending south at the latitude of Monterey. There are three distinct climatic zones: the Coast zone, the valley zone, the Sierra zone. Along the entire climate is cool during the winter, with considerable low fog near ocean. This fog during the day tap to the summits of the Coast giving an abundance of moisture in equitable temperature. During winter this zone is almost frostless, the rainfall, is except in the ex-south, from twenty to fifty miles. Valley zone, extending about six hundred miles, parallel to the Coast is, as has already been shown, warm during the summer, with only any rain from May to October. The winter it is colder than on coast, with abundant rain, especially at the northern end of the valley, where the clouds seem to be massed by battering winds. There are large areas where the rainfall is from sixty twenty inches, during the year. The climate of the Sierra zone demands largely upon elevation. While the height of 3000 feet the temperate is warm and genial both summer and winter, upon the upper ranges lies from eight to twelve months in the year. There the rainfall is defined largely by the trend of the contain spurs. A general proposition the State about two seasons—the wet and the dry. There is no well-defined spring, but all the phenomena of an Eastern drag occur during the early part of daily season, thus blending with water; and the fall, if it refers to the ring of leaves and fruit, extends from the succeeding March. Over a considerable portion of these strawberries ripen in the open during ten months of the year, and then fruitstands on the streets, well equipped, are never closed. There is no day in the year in which roosebuds cannot be cut in a rose hiden. This is doubtless partly because in a comparatively dry climate are not so plentifully supplied as sap as in the East, and partly from fact that there is undoubtedly a full amount of heat constantly raised from the earth. It is this hot heat that enables us to root grapes other cuttings without difficulty, on those things that usually require we rooted in hot beds. These climatic peculiarities make itsible for a tourist who is in search of health or pleasure to select his client at any time of the year. A winter fountery and a summer on the Sierra with a little change of elevation, secure a most delightful and health-climate during the entire year. In July and August he can, if he chooses where, with one hand in a snow bank, he can with the other pluck beautiful spring flowers. Another result is that the entire truth of this statement, in all necessary details, must be developed and tested by adequate scientific research." What is here stated theoretically has been, and is being, abundantly established by practical demonstration. The State abounds in health resorts, and large numbers come from less favored localities, availing themselves of the climatic and other advantages here offered. The fact that many come, trying to run away from death when it is too late, or when the disease is perhaps incurable, increases somewhat the death-rate of the State. It can hardly be expected that climate and surroundings can cure anything, but it is safe to say that by an intelligent selection of locality, all that can do can be secured here. With a choice in the matter of elevation from 300 feet below sea level to 7000 feet above; a choice in humidity ranging from the very damp climate of the west side of the Coast range to the dry climate of many of the inland sections, so dry that most of the nights are dewless, with all intermediate grades in both directions, there is little difficulty in finding the conditions desirable. It is for the physician to determine what conditions are best. As to temperature, one may live for twelve months in the year where it is so summer-like that roses, fuchsias and callas may be gathered at all times. In high Sierras, asthma, bronchitis and kindred diseases disappear as if by magic, and all lung diseases are wonderfully ameliorated. The whole of this part of the State, with much of the Coast range, constitutes one immense natural sanitarium. Too cold in winter for much vegetable decay and too dry in summer for the effluvia to be taken up and distributed, the State is free from malaria, except along some of the sluggish rivers, or where excessive irrigation is used, with no adequate drainage. On the Coast range the ocean winds, tempered and made fragrant by the forests of firs, pines and redwoods over which they pass, the climate is all that the most exacting health-seeker can demand. Intelligent physicians well understand that a change of climate alone will not secure the best results. There must be a change of thought and a change of feeling; and where can these be better secured than in communion with nature such as may be had in the foothills and mountains of California? Here she may be seen and studied in all her moods, and dull indeed must be the mind that does not waken to an active interest in her varied forms. There are redwood cathedrals grandeur, more lofty and imposing than anything that man has ever created. There are dark forests of firs and pines through whose evergreen branches the winds make a low, sweet music, winning a willing ear. The lesser flora almost compel attention, even from a careless observer, and to one already interested afford a new world of investigation and enjoyment. The result of all this is to draw one away from the thought of himself and his own illies, a condition requisite, more conducive to a full recovery of health than all the medicaments of the best stocked pharmacy. These things, together with the mineral springs already discussed, are what nature has done, unaided by the often bungling hand of man. But man is doing his part. The State abounds in health and pleasure resorts, arranged in many cases to supplement the work of nature. At most these instead of being compelled to live in a great caravansary, mixing with "all sorts and conditions of men," one can secure a small cottage wherein he can enjoy the company of only friends,and ARTICLE VIII. VIOLATION OF BY-LAWS. Section 1. Any stockholder, officer or employee of this company will violating any of the provisions of these by-laws shall be liable to a penalty of two dollars for each and every offense to be paid into the treasury of the company upon his conviction thereof by the Board of Directors of the company. It shall be the duty of all officers and employees of the company to report to the Secretary at once and all violations notice. The climatic peculiarities make itsible for a tourist who is in search of health or pleasure to select his climate at any time of the year. A winter monterey and a summer on the Sierra with a little change of elevation, is secure a most delightful and health-climate during the entire year. In July and August he can, if he chooses, where, with one hand in a snow pack, he can with the other pluck beautiful spring flowers. Another result is that the entire state is desirable for home-making, carefully selecting the location, one find abundance of land adapted to the kind of agricultural or horticultural industry, where, with industry and economy, he can build up an exceeding-comfortable, self-sustaining home. The Coast range of mountains, or either the Coast ranges, for the spurs perilay each other through the whole extent, runs almost parallel to the coast the entire length of the State. The overlapping of the many spurs makes a altitude of valleys, which, with their adjacent foothills, constitute a very productive portion of the State. Some of these valleys are so extensive that they lose the appearance of valleys, and seem vast inland plains. The valleys opening to the west are in that is designated as the coast climate, the ultimate moist and equitable; comparatively free from frost, where irrigation rarely necessary, the ocean fogs supplying abundant moisture for plant life. The valleys opening inland are not so solely under the equalizing influence of the ocean. They have greater extremes of temperature, but are all productive and very desirable as places for home-making. On the other side there are also extensive plains, all deriving the advantages arising from proximity to the specific. All this region is also fruitful, and from it the most of our semi-tropical fruits and winter vegetables are produced. Except in the extreme north, snow freely falls upon the coast mountains, and when it does, lies but a short time of course the climate is healthful, for the ocean breezes keep the air pure, and a little way from the immediate coast make a most delightful and exhilarating climate. We come next to the great inland valley, with the smaller valleys, that lie in themselves immense, although they are seemingly dwarfed by the one whose magnitude can hardly be realized. The climatic conditions of these valleys have been sufficiently discussed, but it must not be lost sight of that the eastern side of the valley has the same variety of foothill and inter-valley land available for culture, as on the western side. The slopes upon this side are more The result of all this is to draw one away from the thought of himself and his own illis, a condition requisite, more conducive to a full recovery of health than all the medicaments of the best stocked pharmacy. These things, together with the mineral springs already discussed, are what nature has done, unaided by the often, bungling hand of man. But man is doing his part. The State abounds in health and pleasure resorts, arranged in many cases to supplement the work of nature. At most of these instead of being compelled to live in a great caravansary, mixing with "all sorts and conditions of men," one can secure a small cottage wherein he can enjoy the company of only friends, and where he can, if he so desires, live a homelike, quiet life. The fact that for eight months of the year good weather can always be counted on, makes it possible to live almost entirely in the open air. Excursions may be taken to distant points, and a bivouac under the southing pines is a thing to be looked forward to with joyous anticipations and to be pleasantly remembered for many a day. To weary workers, worn down by too close attention to business—to those who have learned that the delights of a too complex civilization become at last "stale, flat and unprofitable"—to those who like Antaeus, need but to touch old mother earth to renew their strength and vigor—the mountains of California, from grand old Yosemite to many a smaller and less pretentious canyon, are perpetually crying out, "Come, ye weary sons and daughters of men, come unto us, and we will give rest unto your bodies and a glorious uplifting unto your souls." To the sportsman the call is yet stronger. Most of these regions abound in fish and game. The mountain trout takes the fly with an avidity and fights with a gameness that shames his Eastern congener, and in the lakes and larger streams he reaches a size that often tests to the extreme the strength of the tackle and the skill of the angler. Deer are abundant in the wilderness, with bear enough to add zest to the sport, while smaller game—hare, quail, grouse, doves and pigeon—are in plentiful and enticing numbers. There are many locations of which it is no misner to say, "they are the sportsman's paradise." And all this may be properly presented under the general head of health. He who, without excess, plays wisely may without danger work diligently.

Barr's water theft will probably come up for formal investigation at the meeting of the Directors on Saturday next. It is given out on good authority that Barr has purchased very little water in a number of years past. He has been in the habit of stealing water through his pipe line. He would extract the plugs at night, let the water run upon his land,and early in the morning would replace the plugs and throw a few shovels full of mud over the outer end of the pipe (as though stopping up a gopher hole),and no one would suspect but that the water had really been running all night long through a gopher hole. Barr and his Gopher Hole have been known for some time to several of his neighbors，who have promised to tell the public all about it.
