SWOLLEN STREAMS, AND HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THEM Mr. Armor Offers Some Valuable Suggestions for Consideration of Those Most Deeply Concerned The following article on "Swollen Streams" is from the pen of Mr. Armor of Orange, an authority upon water matters in this county. As the rainy season is at hand and the legislature will soon convene, the article, which was first published in February, 1901, has been revised by the author and herewith reproduced. It is worthy a careful perusal: Many of the smaller streams of the Pacific Slope are intermittent, flowing down through the mountain gorges during the rainy season and out across the narrow plains skirting the hills toward the ocean. When the winter rains cease, these torrential streams dwindle into comparative insignificance in their upper courses and disappear altogether in the loose materials lining their channels as they debouch from the canyons into the plains. While running bank-full these intermittent streams carry down from the mountains and hills vast quantities of gravel and sand, loosened from the steep slopes by the changes of temperature, vegetation, rain and wind, or ground out of the narrow channels by the erosive force of the descending torrents. This detritus is deposited along the beds of the streams on the lower levels where the current is less swift, the stones and coarser gravel being dropped near the mouths of the canyons and the finer gravel and the light sand being carried farther down toward the sea. By this means the lower portions of the channels are gradually built up above the plains intersected by them. Sooner or later the slight banks bordering these channels and the erosive wa $3 each per day and expenses for the time actually employed. Such commissioners shall qualify within ten days after notification by subscribing to the official oath prescribed by the State constitution and shall immediately enter upon the work assigned them. Section 3. The commission shall establish the width and location of the channel of the stream referred to it, also the width of the protection borders adjoining such channel; it shall appraise the value of the portion of each holding affected by the location, making two separate lists, one for the channel and the other for the border holdings, and shall file a written report with the clerk of the Board of Supervisors together with a map, profile and cross-sections, setting forth all the particulars necessary for the board to understand the situation and to weigh the merits of the protection recommended. Section 4. At its first meeting after the filing of the report of the commission, the Board of Supervisors shall set a hearing not earlier than ten nor later than thirty days from such meeting. Notice of the hearing shall be inserted by the clerk in one or more weekly papers of general circulation, published within the county, to run in every issue thereafter until the time of the hearing; the sheriff shall also serve personal notice upon all residents of the county whose lands are affected by the location, and mail notice to the last known address of all non-residents. Section 5. On the conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Supervisors shall make its findings, orders and appraisements and spread the same upon its minutes. In so doing the Board may adopt the report of the commission without change, or it may make such modifications as seem to it more effective in carrying out the purpose of the action, or more equitable to all concerned. When instructed by the NOTES OF THE NATIONAL GAMES Big Birds from the Oil Wells Trounce the Local Kids—What Mike Crowley Thought of Olive Game The big birds of the Graham and Loftus oil wells trounced the local kids at baseball on the Lemon-street grounds on Sunday afternoon, to score of the trouble when the curts fell being 12 to 3. For three innings, the kids scampered along with their procession, but the strain was too great for their livers, and they suffered their second defeat in 26 games played. The infants are all right playing with kids, but when it comes to tackling real men, that's a somewhat different narrative. In the first half of the second inning, with the score 1 to 0 favor of the oil pumpers, the kids several timely hits, filled the bases. clean drive by Norman to left, over the heads of Filigree Burke and Tree free, both of whom made desperate efforts to intercept it, sent two of kids scampering over the plate. There was little doing after that, but the kids were outclassed. The oil mills stole bases as they pleased, but there was no great shakes of hitting either side. Stone struck out 7, while Fuqua fanned a single kid. The players and their positions were as follows: Oil Wells—Workman, c; Fuqua, Crips, first; Annin, second; Burke, Tuffree, third; Hetebrink, right; Co center; Schumacher, left. Infants—D. Stone, left field; Cl Fischer, short; Lewis, right; Eln Stone, pitcher; W. Fischer, catch Mills, third; Westerman, third; N man, second; Dickel, center. Burke and Annin distinguish themselves by pulling off two doubles plays. Brown umpired a good game. They were as usual several close decisions but he handled them well. Score kept by Mike Crowley. Steep slopes by the changes of temperature, vegetation, rain and wind, or ground out of the narrow channels by the erosive force of the descending torrents. This detritus is deposited along the beds of the streams on the lower levels where the current is less swift, the stones and coarser gravel being dropped near the mouths of the canyons and the finer gravel and the light sand being carried farther down toward the sea. By this means the lower portions of the channels are gradually built up above the plains intersected by them. Sooner or later the slight banks bordering these channels give way and the on-rushing waters leave the ridges thus formed and cut other channels through the lower levels to the ocean, repeating the process as often as the new beds of the streams are built up above the level of the land over which they flow. So long as the lowlands were uninhabited, or occupied only for grazing purposes, little concern was felt about changes in the courses of streams; but when these lands were subdivided into small holdings with improvements placed upon them, the shifting of channels became a serious menace to some well-appointed homes and much valuable property. Because of the slow up-building of the channels and the long intervals between the flood years, not only are valuable improvements risked on the lowlands, but the natural barriers of willows and underbrush are grubbed out of the banks until nothing but a thin rim of light soil is left to confine the seething, swirling floods. Thus do the riparian land owners unwittingly invite destruction not only to their own property, but to all that lies behind them; between them and the ocean. As the approach of the rainy season calls attention to the danger each year, many remedies are suggested and a few tried with indifferent success. Almost the first thing thought of is to strengthen the banks so as to confine the stream within its channels. This work is too often left entirely to the riparian land owners, when those more remote are equally exposed to the danger. The remedy, however, of strengthening the banks, no matter how well applied by organized effort or even with county aid, cannot effect a permanent cure, for the reason that it does not remove the cause. It only postpones the catastrophy and augments the consequence, "when pent-up nature o'er leaps man's puny barriers." Raising the banks does not stop deposits being made in the bed of a stream; in the course of time the channel is built up so high that no wholly artificial banks can prevent the overflow. As in the case of physical alliments of mankind, so in the overflow of the streams, the best remedy is the one which assists nature to overcome its own irregularities. This remedy can be better explained by considering some specific stream or streams with which our readers are familiar. The principal streams of Orange county, that come directly under our observation, are the Santiago creek and the Santa Ana river. These two streams in extreme high water, steep slopes by the changes of temperature, vegetation, rain and wind, or ground out of the narrow channels by the erosive force of the descending torrents. This detritus is deposited along the beds of the streams on the lower levels where the current is less swift, the stones and coarser gravel being dropped near the mouths of the canyons and the finer gravel and the light sand being carried farther down toward the sea. By this means the lower portions of the channels are gradually built up above the plains intersected by them. Sooner or later the slight banks bordering these channels give way and the on-rushing waters leave the ridges thus formed and cut other channels through the lower levels to the ocean, repeating the process as often as the new beds of the streams are built up above the level of the land over which they flow.

Telephone Main 55 ESS RBERG, Proprietor California The principal streams of Orange county, that come directly under our observation, are the Santiago creek and the Santa Ana river. These two streams, in extreme high water, threaten nearly every foot of territory between the foothills east of Tustin and Coyote creek, and between the foothills north of Fullerton and the mesa near the ocean, including the principal cities and towns of the county. The first step in the control of these streams is to procure the passage of an act of the legislature authorizing the county to acquire title to their beds and to sufficient land along the banks on which to maintain the proper protection. The form and scope of this act should be somewhat as follows: PREVENTION OF OVERFLOW. An Act to provide a system of protection for agricultural lands from the overflow of streams. The people of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. The Board of Supervisors of each county of this State shall have power to acquire title, on behalf of their respective counties, to the channels of innavigable streams and to so much of the adjoining land as may be necessary for the maintenance of protective works, including the growth of trees and underbrush, not to exceed one-half the width of the channel on each side, for the purpose of preventing the overflow of such streams. Section 2. When the Board of Supervisors deems it advisable for the county to assume control of any stream within its limits for the protection of agricultural lands, said board shall appoint a commission, consisting of the county surveyor and two disinterested citizens, whose compensation shall be Section 9. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. Backed up by some such law as the foregoing, the supervisors would acquire title to a strip about 300 feet wide up the center of Santiago creek for a channel and about 50 feet on each side for protective borders. Gradually the stream could be confined by keeping the channel free from obstructions and placing barriers in front of the more exposed portions of the protective borders. These barriers could be made of trees and brush fastened in place by wires attached to posts, back of which tree trimmings, grape-prunings and all manner of trash could be deposited and weighted down by stones from the clearing of land and from the channel of the creek. In a short time willows, water-motors and other shrubs would take root in this rubbish and make a natural protection. All gravel for ballasting railroads, surfacing streets, making cement work for other purposes should be taken from the channel under the direction and control of the board of supervisors. Span bridges should be built and every precaution taken to keep the channel free and unobstructed. The right of way for the Santa Ana river should consist of a channel 500 feet wide and protective borders not less than 100 feet wide on each side—more would be better, even up to the limit of 250 feet on each side. The channel should be kept free from all tree, shrub and plant growth and be loosened up in the bottom at least twice a year. The borders should be planted to any kind of trees, shrubs, vines and grasses that could be made to grow, and such growth be protected by ordinance from damage of every kind. With this arrangement the winds during the summer and fall would drift the loose sand out of the channel into the trees and underbrush of the borders, as well as bring the light soil from the adjacent fields to the same place of lodgement, thereby building up these borders above the bottom of the channel.

For three innings was scampered along with the ball, but the strain was too for their livers, and they suffered second defeat in 26 games played. Plants are all right playing with it when it comes to tackling on, that's a somewhat different one. In the first half of the season, with the score 1 to 0 in the oil pumpers, the kids, by timely hits, filled the bases. A drive by Norman to left, over hills of Filligree Burke and Tufth of whom made desperate effort to intercept it, sent two of the camperes over the plate. But was little doing after that, as were outclassed. The oil men cases as they pleased, but there were great shakes of hitting on inside. Stone struck out 7, while named a sigle kid.

Porter has returned from the Klondike after an absence of two and a half years. He went north in May, 1900. Or arrival at Dawson he went to work at the carpenter's trade at $150 an hour. It was daylight for three months and Porter put in thirteen hours a day at his trade. He continued at it a year and a half, but for the past year has been mining. He owns a gold mine six miles out from Dawson, which he will return to work in March, when navigation opens up. When Charley Rogers came out a year ago Porter sent a bracelet made of nuggets gathered up from his mine to his daughter, who is staying with friends in Garden Grove. This he had with him while in town the other day. It had broken at one of the links and the little girl had bound it together with a thread. Porter brought it in to have Oscar Luedke repair it, but found on his arrival that Luedke had been dead for a year. Porter received no papers from this city while away. All the papers sent him from this office failed to reach him and letters from him to this journal failed to arrive. A Christmas package which should have reached him last Christmas found its destination July 3d of this year. “It’s much easier getting into the Klondike now than it was when I went up. It’s just as easy as going from here to New York; maybe not quite so easy, but it’s an easy trip compared to what it used to be. A railroad runs from Skagway to While Horse, whence you stage it 300 miles to Dawson. “Yes, the weather is cold, but people move about in the open air and carry on their business without experiencing any great degree of discomfort.

Had to Walk Home Those on the inside are telling of a bad joke on two gentlemen connected with the public schools that, while ughable, was for a time rather disting to them. It seems they spent a day in Los Angeles, one of them hitting his family, the other his girl. In their way home both gentlemen together, and in recounting the measures of the day became so absorbing in the conversation that, when this tonition was reached, they heard not a stentorian cry of the menial whose principal excuse for not being dead is that the railroad people hire him to destroy the sense of hearing in pasengers by his piercing yell of the Irrigation Works It's much easier getting into the Klondike now than it was when I went up. It's just as easy as going from here to New York; maybe not quite so easy, but it's an easy trip compared to what it used to be. A railroad runs from Skagway To While Horse, whence you stage it 300 miles to Dawson. Yes, the weather is cold, but people move about in the open air and carry on their business without experiencing any great degree of discomfort. The lowest point registered by the thermometer was 72 below zero. I experienced no inconvenience, but breathing the cold air into the lungs, especially when one is overheated at labor, is not. I expect, conducive to longevity. That is one of the causes of pneumonia. Horses frequently drop dead from this cause while on a trip. But the weather is not always disagreeably cold. In summer it is pleasant. The finest turnips, carrots and potatoes I ever saw were raised in Dawson. They grow strawberries there, under cover. They sell at $1 25 a box. A box of apples may be bought for $4; grapes are 75 cents a pound. Living is cheaper in Dawson than it used to be. You can get a good meal for 75 cents to $1 50. A fine turkey dinner costs $1 50, and a full course French dinner, $2 50. Fresh meats sells from 25 to 75 cents a pound. Fine salmon are taken in the river at Dawson and sell at 10 cents a pound. There is any quantity of big and little game, including moose, elk, deer, bear, cariboo, ptarmigan, grouse, ducks and geese. Eggs are 50 cents a dozen in summer; $1 25 to $1 50 a dozen in winter. They used to be $1 apiece. Ham and bacon sell for 25 cents a pound. Potatoes are 6 to 14 cents a pound. Common laborers receive $8 per day. The government at Dawson passed a resolution that wages should be maintained at those figures, although many laborers work for $5 per day and board. Carpenters get $1 per hour. I went to work the moment I arrived there and averaged 13 hours a day. The paper-hangers' union have a scale of $1 25 per hour. For three months in the winter the sun doesn't shine at all, and for three months in the summer time it is daylight all the time. At midnight June 21st, the longest day, the sun may be seen shining at midnight by climbing the hill at Dawson. Once a year great crowds go up the hill at this time to witness the phenomenon, but I myself never went up to see it. The sun at this time may be plainly seen away off in the south. The output of gold continues large. While not so great as in former years, I believe profits of the mines are larger, on account of the decreased amount paid labor and the lessened cost of living." Porter did not see Loring Gates in the Klondike. He heard he was there, but never ran across him. His son Guy is attached to the heavy artillery at Seattle. Porter stopped to visit with him on his way south. Then, in response to the augur process, the reporter learned that the big mine was still shut down on account of the fire which has been burning down in one of the levels of the mine for several months past. The mine is closed down tightly so as to smother the flames which are consuming the copper ore. Extensive machinery has been erected on the surface of the ground to pump carbon gas into the mine to assist in the smothering process. An immense fan blows the gas into the shaft. The gas is formed by burning coke and forcing the smoke into the mine, the smoke being chilled previously. Why don't you put the fire out with water? Because we might turn the Mississippi river into the mine and then not be able to reach it. Besides water is not a good thing to have in the mine anyway. Big expense to Senator Clark, He looked vacantly ahead of him for an instant and then said: "Well, here we go." And they went. We have some fine fire companies in Jerome, the finest in the territory. There was a blaze in some shacks the other day and one of the companies came running up, but it didn't have enough hose. Then another company came up and attached its hose to the other and blew the shocks to pieces." There's a fire somewhere!" he exclaimed, as they issued from the bungalow out into the crisp atmosphere of a lovely night." When it comes to telling fires I am Johnny on the spot every time. We've had so much of it at Jerome these last few months that I can tell a fire a mile off." Nobody else could detect anything. But there was a fire, sure enough. Down the street a block away a man was smoking a pipe, serenely oblivious of the incipient commotion he had created. $100 REWARD $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

He must have yelled "Anaheim" on this slip—existence would be a barren reality to him without this privilege torturing the traveler—but the two medagogues heard never a word, so enrossed were they in one another's company. At Orange they heard the sound of the man with the voice. Said one: "My dear Alphonse, I fear we've ridden too far, b'gosh!" Said the other: "I wish to return instantly to that dear Anaheim!" And they both got out and walked home. But you mustn't say a word about it, because it's a secret and they don't want anyone to know a thing about it. We were cautioned not to tell. Saw Death Near "It often made my heart ache," writes L. C. Overstreet of Elgin, Tenn., "to hear my wife cough until it seemed her weak and sore lungs would collapse.

Irrigation Works Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock will submit to congress, probably before the holiday recess, a report outlining the steps he has taken thus far towards carrying into effect the arid land reclamation act. Prior to the submission of this report no one will know officially where the first irrigation works are to be commenced, although, as already foreshadowed in these dispatches, it is known that Secretary Hitchcock inclines toward certain systems in Arizona. Under the law the secretary of the Interior is required to report annually to congress how and where he is expending the reclamation fund. Already there are signs of slight friction between Secretary Hitchcock and the geological survey as to the amount of work that should be done in preliminary surveying and prospecting. The survey is anxious to put more parties into the field with a view to accurately mapping the semi-arid regions, gathering data of water courses, reservoir sites, rainfall, etc., while the secretary inclines to the view that enough of this work has been done to serve as a basis for immediate construction in some districts and that the funds on hand should be devoted to actual construction. A Good Cough Medicine [From the Gazette, Toowoomba, Australia] I find Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is an excellent medicine. I have been suffering from a severe cough for the last two months, and it has effected a cure. I have great pleasure in recommending it—W. C. Wookner. This is the opinion of one of our oldest and most respected residents, and has been voluntarily given in good faith that others may try the remedy and be benefited, as was Mr. Wookner. This remedy is sold by all druggists. Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes impossible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consumption is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consumption you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treatment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. We will send you a little of the Emulsion free. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N.Y. 50c and $r; all druggists.
