After the meeting had been advertised in the columns of the Times for weeks as the opening of the campaign, only about 125 people attended. I am sorry for Flint. He is such a good man; and in such a tough crowd! In his formal announcement of his candidacy for renomination, Governor Gage dwells on the business-like character of his administration. And that is undoubtedly the strongest point in his favor. We read the Republican newspapers of the State pretty carefully, and we note the interesting fact that any opposition to the Governor's renomination that exists is on political grounds. It is conceded that the Governor has given the State a clean, able and economical administration. And the people care a whole lot more about than they do about factional differences or personal ambitions in the party. This is why the Governor is so strong with the people, and that is why we believe he will be nominated and re-elected. We read an editorial in one paper a few days ago criticizing the Governor for not helping elect Grant Senator. But that kind of talk will influence very few people. Some stronger argument than that must be brought forward to create any antithesis against Gage. The average person all right, but the Gage people would of course object to this, and what he would gain in one direction he would more than lose in another. It is a realization of this that has brought Orrin Henderson of Stockton into the fight. He is on the Flint end of things up there, and if he can get the San Joaquin delegation made up for himself for Railroad Commissioner instead of for Woods for Lieutenant Governor, then there is no question that he can go down the line with Flint's friends and capture the nomination if it is in their power to give it to him. The State treasurership brings up a fight in which other issues are directly involved. Truman Reeves, the incumbent, hails from San Bernardino. He was on the ticket as it was made up four years ago, and he can occupy the same place provided he can do now what he accomplished then, that is to say, bring in the San Bernardino delegation in his interests. When he essays this, though, Reeves will find himself bucking up against the same stone wall that Judge Oster found in his path. Kendall, Steve Kelly, and their friends around San Bernardino have the works in their own hands, and as the delegation cannot be made up for two State candidates, it stands to reason that Kendall will have first call. Reeves and his supporters will not concede, however, that they have entirely lost the fight, and they will at least make a desperate attempt to have things come their way. Where they are going to connect when the Lippincott's REPORT ON WELLS IN CALIFORNIA What He Thinks About the Watershed Rincon, and Other Matters of Interest to Irrigators. [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE] In the series of Water-Supply Irrigation papers, which the U.S. States Geological Survey has included but not yet published, the paper "Wells of Southern California" mentions 59 and 60), by Mr. Joseph B. Lippincott, is of special interest to Irrigators. In his letter of transmittal Mr. F. H. Newell, hydrographic charge, remarks: "The results are constructive, as showing what must done in other parts of the U.S. States under favorable conditions climate and soil, and have peculiar interest in any consideration of the tent to which the arid land can ultimately be redeemed by irrigation. The region discussed is the San Bernardino valley in Southern Californi which has an area of 563 square miles and lies south and west of the Madre and San Bernardino mountains. Riverside and Redlands are the coats of fruit production. Up to eleven thousand feet the relatively high are free from frost, and the relative low lands are subject to it. The tinitive crop of the San Bernardino valley is citrus fruits. Oranges dominate, followed next by lemons and of late years the grape fruit become a popular product. Olivum mounds, prunes, apricots, peaches, and wine, raisin and table grapes all grown to perfection in this day. In the eleven years prior to 1890 erside shipped nearly seven boxes of oranges, an average income of $1,000,000. Water is the life-blood of the Without it this valley would be semi-desert. The rain clouds freer ANAHEIM, CAL Stables proprietors. Anaheim people care a whole lot more about that than they do about factional differences or personal ambitions in the party. This is why the Governor is so strong with the people, and that is why we believe he will be nominated and re-elected. We read an editorial in one paper a few days ago criticizing the Governor for not helping elect Grant Senator. But that kind of talk will influence very few people. Some stronger argument than that must be brought forward to create any sentiment against Gage. The average Republican voter cares very little, in the opinion of the Riverside Press, about the political ambition of Grant, Bard, Burns, or other candidate for the Senate in the contest which finally resulted in Senator Bard's election. And they have very little interest in the present struggle between the friends of John Lynch and Steve Kelly. They understand that the opposition of the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and San Francisco Call to Gage is based on the personal spite of Otis, Spreckels and DeYoung. These would-be bosses found that they couldn't run Gage, and so they have set out to defeat him. But the people think the more of him for that kind of opposition. The things they remember about Gage is that his administration has been free from scandals, that the Governor has championed the interests of California with vigor and ability, that he settled the San Francisco strike, and has given the State a low tax rate. That is why they would be glad to have another four years "of the same." The Los Angeles end of Governor Gage's fight is being engineered by Walter Parker, Judge J. W. McKinley, W. E. Dunn, W. L. Hardison, Luther G. Brown, James Clarke, John Thomas and J. J. Gosper, while Flint's southern interests are looked after by Senator R. N. Bulla, Tom Hughes, Harrison Gray Otis, Byron Oliver. At present the Lieutenant Governorship is in a one-sided condition, though that it will remain that way long no one anticipates. The willingness of Congressman Woods to take second place on the ticket has resulted in a shake-up in many quarters, and in truth, according to an up-country authority, somewhat of a surprise. There is no gainsaying, though, as to where he stands, for it is already patent that the State machine will concede him the nomination if in return he can prevent San Joaquin county from wobbling in Judge Oster found in his path. Kendall, Steve Kelly, and their friends around San Bernardino have the works in their own hands, and as the delegation cannot be made up for two State candidates, it stands to reason that Kendall will have first call. Reeves and his supporters will not concede, however, that they have entirely lost the fight, and they will at least make a desperate attempt to have things come their way. Where they are going to connect when the primary comes off is not particularly clear, however. To a man up a tree it looks as if barring accidents, Kendall will have the delegation from one end to the other. HOW PERKINS SAW KING OSCAR The California Senator Tells of His Meeting With Oscar of Sweden. Senator Perkins of California, who to quote his own words, is a sailor by profession, a merchant by necessity and a politician by accident, has had in his life more adventures than fall within the experience of an ordinary man. Perhaps this is because Senator Perkins followed the sea for so many years. One of Mr. Perkins' most interesting adventures was his meeting with King Oscar of Sweden and Norway. "I was quite a boy then," said the Senator, telling the story to a Washington Post reporter. "I had sailed in the good ship Luna from New Orleans to Sweden with a cargo of cotton, and while the ship was in port I thought I would like to see the royal palace in Stockholm. One Sunday afternoon, in company with a sailor named Harry Branscombe, an Englishman, we went up to the palace. Boy like, we wanted to get into the grounds, and so we crawled through a waste pipe which ran through the walls around the palace park. As soon as we got inside, however, we were arrested by a gendarme, and as we did not know a word of Swedish we were in a sad plight. "Presently," continued the Senator, "a party of distinguished people came along and seemed interested in our trouble. One person in the party spoke English. He asked us what we were doing in the King's park. I told him that I was an American boy, who wanted to see the King and how the King lived. "But don't you know,' he said, 'that you might be put into prison for trespassing?' "Oh,' I said, 'I don't want to hurt the King; I only want to see him.'" "I am King Oscar,' was his reply, and then," added Senator Perkins, "I learned that I was really in the presence of the monarch."" "What happened to you then?" asked his listener. "The King," he replied, "sent a soldier with us to show us the palace, and we had a splendid time. But that wasn't the sequel to the story. Thirty years later, when I was Governor of California, I went off on a little cruise low lands are subject to it. The tinctive crop of the San Bernardo valley is citrus fruits. Oranges dominate, followed next by lemons and of late years the grape fruit become a popular product. Olive monds, prunes, apricots, peaches, and wine, raisin and table grape all grown to perfection in this dale. In the eleven years prior to 1890 erside shipped nearly seven n boxes of oranges, an average income of $1,000,000. Water is the life-blood of the Without it this valley would be semi-desert. The rain clouds from Pacific ocean are condensed again 6000 to 11,000 foot elevations of erra Madre and San Barnardino mountains, in the winter time usually form of snow, which feeds the soil up to about May. Mr. Lippincott sifies the water supply as streams underground water and age reservoir water. The Santa and other mountain streams brought down detritus and but deltas in the valley. The winter gradually disappear in flowing those deltas and sinking down reservoirs of artesian water of united but great capacity. In addition winter floods, the summer flowthe streams from San Antonio creek will diverted and used irrigation purposes, and probably per cent of itinks into the ground reinforces the water plane. This underground reservoir slopes off the Santa Ana river,the most ant stream of Southern California of the Coast Range. It drains area above Rincon of 1657 square miles 971 square miles of the basin area talnoas. The controlling outlet great underground reservoir is con ,where there is a larger water flowing during the summer at any other place in California of the Tehachapi mountains,and along Colorado. If an gravel of 500 square miles shaded to a depth of 300 feet average depth to assume for this—its storage capacity would be 2000 acre feet of water. These suggest the enormous capacity great underground storage room of San Bernardino valley. It has charged with waters throughout cycle of years by the floods deHence, measurements made in mer of 1898 showed that there most three times more water in central portion of the valley there was entering the valley from mountain drainage basin. Mr. Lippincott holds,these properly located development near Rincon, permitting the flow of this water plane each season over an area of 1000 acres,show from 1500 to 2000 miners' water.Here thinks the proper procedure should be to diversion creation of pumping power to flow of the Santa Ana river.Auburndale bridge about the May,and to return the water natural bed at the close of tide season.His conclusions a large percentage of irrigation returns to the channels of tha Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh.

PINCOTT'S REPORT ON WELLS IN CALIFORNIA At He Thinks About the Watershed at Rincon, and Other Matters of Interest to Irrigators. [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] In the series of Water-Supply andervation papers, which the United States Geological Survey has in press not yet published, the paper on bills of Southern California" (num-59 and 60), by Mr. Joseph Barlow Pincott, is of special interest to Californians. In his letter of transmittal F. H. Newell, hydrographer in charge, remarks: "The results are insensitive, as showing what may be in other parts of the United States under favorable conditions of climate and soil, and have peculiar instinct in any consideration of the extent to which the arid land can ultimately be redeemed by irrigation." The region discussed is the San Bernardo valley in Southern California, which has an area of 563 square miles, hills south and west of the Sierra Nevada and San Bernardino mountains. Barside and Redlands are the centers of fruit production. Up to elevations 1000 feet the relatively high lands free from frost, and the relatively low lands are subject to it. The disitive crop of the San Bernardino bay is citrus fruits. Oranges predate, followed next by lemons, of late years the grape fruit has become a popular product. Olives, almonds, prunes, apricots, peaches, pears, wine, raisin and table grapes are grown to perfection in this district. The eleven years prior to 1898, Rivade shipped nearly seven million tons of oranges, an average annual volume of $1,000,000. Water is the life-blood of the land. Without it this valley would become a desert. The rain clouds from the JAS. DOYLE UNWHIPPED OF JUSTICE Shameful Exhibition of Incompetency by Deputy District Attorney—A Sad Case. “This is not a crime; it's a misdemeanor!” exclaimed Deputy District Attorney Williams, in Justice Shanley's court on Thursday, at the trial of James Doyle, who was charged with failure to provide for his wife and three small children. Williams had called the wife of defendant to the stand, but defense objected to her testifying, setting up the claim that a wife could not give testimony against her husband, or vice versa, except where one assaulted the other. Mrs. Doyle was technically not the plaintiff in the case, the charge against Doyle being that he had failed to provide food, clothing or shelter for his little three-year-old boy. Supervisor Potter was the complaining witness. When Mrs. Doyle had been sworn Attorney Tipton for the defense objected to her testimony, and read from the Civil Code, excerpts from the law which Williams probably never heard of before. Williams was handed the copy of the code, and was soon plunged deeply into consideration their arousing himself therefrom finally to make use of the words noted above. The code says that in all "crimes," a woman is debarred from giving testimony against her husband, except in cases already noted. But it was certainly within Williams' power to place her upon the stand and give her testimony about the lack of food in the house, or lack of clothing for the children. As crime is either a felony or a misdemeanor, Williams' objection did not appear to be weighty; but when he permitted Mrs. Doyle to leave the stand he might just as well have given up the case. If he did not know enough law to put her upon the stand and keep her there until her story had been told in court, the less he has to LOUIE BOLZ' RETURNS TO COUNTY JAIL Lately Emerged from 90-Day Sentence, Goes Over the River Again for 60. Louie Bolz blew up from the Landing on Thursday, after luxuriating on clams and mussels for a season, and proceeded to celebrate the event in a manner seeming to him befitting- and appropriate. Louie was discharged from the county jail not so long ago, after doing a 90-day sentence for running his family out of the house in their night clothes, threatening to kill his wife and using riotous and indecent language toward her and the children. On being discharged from custody he wended his way to the classic shades of the Landing, where he engaged in the harmless pastime of raising chickens and operating a line of gondolas upon the blue and moonlit sea. Time wore heavily upon his hands, however, and the sob of the sea pailed upon his two ears. He resolved to come to town and celebrate his birthday. He blew in and proceeded to quench his thirst in foaming flagons of the stuff that cheers and also has a tenency to inebriate. He made his headquarters at Bentz's, and during the evening tumbled off the water cart with such a dull resounding thud that he and his jag could scarce be told apart. Constable Kuebler happened along, and as Louie manifested a disposition to clean out the place, was put under arrest. It took four people to subdue the gentle clam-digger and escort him to the city bastile. One of the party was playfully bitten in the leg, another was struck upon the head, and all felt for a while that something was doin'. Louie was thrown and fell upon the curb, laying open his head in a manner to make it look unpretty the next morning. At 10 o'clock on Friday morning he Water is the life-blood of the land. Without it this valley would become a desert. The rain clouds from the lake ocean are condensed against the 10 to 11,000 foot elevations of the Siesta Madre and San Barnardino mountains, in the winter time usually in the snow, which feeds the streams too about May. Mr. Lippincott classes the water supply as surface streams, underground water and store reservoir water. The Santa Ana other mountain streams have caught down detritus and built up basins in the valley. The winter floods regularly disappear in flowing over these deltas and, sinking down, form reservoirs of artesian water of unknown great capacity. In addition to the water floods, the summer flow of all streams from San Antonio creek to the creek is diverted and used for irrigation purposes, and probably fifty percent of it sinks into the ground and forces the water plane. This large underground reservoir slopes toward Santa Ana river, the most important stream of Southern California west the Coast Range. It drains a total area above Rincono of 1657 square miles; square miles of the basin are mounuous. The controlling outlet of this great underground reservoir is at Rincon, where there is a larger body of water flowing during the summer than any other place in California south of the Tehachapi mountains, except along the Colorado. If an area of travel of 500 square miles should be charged to a depth of 300 feet—a fair storage depth to assume for this valley, its storage capacity would be 32,000-acre feet of water. These figures suggest the enormous capacity of this great underground storage reservoir San Bernardino valley. It has been charged with waters through a long cycle of years by the floods described. Hence, measurements made in the summer of 1898 showed that there was almost three times more water rising in the central portion of the valley than there was entering the valley from the mountain drainage basin. Mr. Lippincott holds, therefore, that properly located development works near Rincon, permitting the lowering of this water plane each season 21 feet over an area of 1000 acres, should yield from 1500 to 2000 miners' inches of water. He thinks the proper method of procedure should be to divert for the creation of pumping power the entire flow of the Santa Ana river near the suburndale bridge about the first of May, and to return the water to its natural bed at the close of the irrigation season. His conclusions are: That a large percentage of irrigation water returns to the channels of the streams; As crime is either a felony or a misdemeanor, Williams' objection did not appear to be weighty; but when he permitted Mrs. Doyle to leave the stand he might just as well have given up the case. If he did not know enough law to put her upon the stand and keep her there until her story had been told in court, the less he has to do with the District Attorney's office the better. Mrs. Fred Rimpau testified that she knew of her own knowledge that Doyle's three little children had not been properly fed. She had frequently given them food, as well as clothing. The children had come to her house daily complaining of hunger. Mrs. George Potter was positive Doyle came home reeling drunk every day or so. The day Mrs. Doyle and the children had left home, on December 13th last, there was nothing to eat in the house, she said, except an unbaked loaf of bread, which she baked for the homeless woman and children. She had fed the children daily for months, some times once a day, some times three times a day. She characterized Doyle as a worthless fellow, who did not provide food or clothing for his family. Supervisor Potter, Julius Schneider, Otto Rust and Fred Rimpau gave testimony against Doyle. The Deputy District Attorney failed to bring out effectually such testimony as witnesses could give. For instance, Mrs. Potter, when her attention was called to Mrs. Doyle being driven away from home, sought her and found her located in the tankhouse of a neighbor, with her three suffering children. She was at her evening meal, if such it could be called. There was nothing to eat upon the rude table except some crackers and a few boiled potatoes which the neighbors had given her. Hiltscher, the Fullerton butcher, said that Doyle had purchased 25 cents worth of meat at his shop, but it was so long ago he could not say when it was. Fritz Martin, the local butcher, said Doyle came to his shop to purchase meat at rare intervals, not oftener than once or twice a month. Doyle went upon the stand in his own behalf, and swore he had never known that his children had gone to the neighbors saying they were hungry and asking for food. The day his wife had left him, on December 13th, he said, there was meat, bread, bacon, potatoes and other articles of food in the house. A rude box, containing a sack of flour, and a partly emptied sack of sugar, was presented in court, as having been taken home by Doyle the day before his wife and children left. Continuing Doyle said he suffered from lumbago and was unable to do a hard day's work. He made a living by peddling fruit. He sold lemons. Saloons were his best customers. His father had kent liquor in the house. a woman is debarred from giving testimony against her husband, except in cases already noted.

His father had kent liquor in the house. It is a sad thing to see fine fruit trees spoiled by the blight. You can always tell them from the rest. They never do well afterwards but stay small and sickly. It is worse to see a blight Mr. Lippincott holds, therefore, that properly located development works near Rincon, permitting the lowering of this water plane each season 21 feet over an area of 1000 acres, should yield from 1500 to 2000 miners' inches of water. He thinks the proper method of procedure should be to divert for the creation of pumping power the entire flow of the Santa Ana river near the Auburndale bridge about the first of May, and to return the water to its natural bed at the close of the irrigation season. His conclusions are: That a large percentage of irrigation water returns to the channels of the streams; that the movement of the water through the soil being exceedingly slow, this return water from irrigation will be a permanent source of supply; that water of this character is now making its appearance on the lands near Rincon; that it is impossible to determine the amount of water that could be gathered by collecting galleries on these lands; that the stream measurements show a loss between Rincon and the head of the Santa Ana canal of about 800 miners' inches, which might be saved by a lined conduit extending down the canyon about 7.4 miles; that a power canal, water-wheels, electric machinery, 20 pumping plants and the gathering flumes necessary for 2000 miners' inoses of water could be constructed at an approximate cost of $75,000. Numerous tables, eleven plates and fourteen figures illustrate the discussion. Mr. Lippincott's contribution concludes with a brief description of the California Portland Cement Company's works at Colton in this valley, the only Portland cement plant on the Pacific Coast. With abundant crude materials of calcspar, clay and almost chemically pure limestone near at hand, and with the Los Angeles petroleum for cheap and excellent fuel, the company is enabled to produce a first class cement for about three-fourths the price of foreign cements. This is of great consequence for the development of the irrigation interests of the valley. Bucklens' Arnica Salve Has world-wide fame for marvelous cures.
