Mr. Harwood says: Jacques Cartier, who shipped from St. Malo in 1634, explored the coast of Newfoundland and made the circuit of the gulf of St. Lawrence, and he did much else, too, for New France in opening up negotiations with the many tribes of Indians who thronged thousands strong and friendly from all the regions in and about Quebec and Montreal and Ottawa and Kingston. Another mariner of St. Malo—Francis Grove—began the colonization of the land About 1570, in France, Samuel de Champlain was born, and when he reached the age of early manhood he, too, joined in the new world exploration in the region above the great lakes. The kings of France were much interested in the new land and did all in their power not only to explore the region, but to colonize and develop it. Champlain, in 1615, made an expedition up the Ottawa river and penetrated as far as into Georgian bay, thus touching on the waters of Lake Huron. In 1618 Etienne Brunle, an old interpreter, came into Champlain's camp with the news of the discovery of Lake Superior. Lake Erie, with Ontario, was probably discovered some time earlier than this. Nicollet, in 1684, started in a canoe from the head of Georgian bay, skirted the eastern and northern shores of Huron and at last found himself at Sault Ste.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. JANUARY 29, 1903. WORKS' IRRIGATION MEASURE SCORED Hon. Wm. E. Smythe, President of the California Construction League, Exposes Its Faults The Works irrigation bill might well be entitled, "An act to imperil all existing water rights, to plunge irrigation communities into interminable litigation, to encourage promoters and corporations to file upon reservoir sites and to appropriate streams for speculative purposes and to create a class of absentee water lords to exploit the future settlers of California, after the manner of the absentee landlords of Ireland." It would be entirely unjust to say that the framers of the measure had these objects in view. They doubtless intended to draw a bill which would benefit the state and assist in its development. And yet the foregoing title correctly describes the result of their work, as will be fully demonstrated to the Legislature and the people in the discussion which will follow the introduction of the bill. The friends of the measure have sought to convey the impression that opposition is confined to Southern California. Here they are also mistaken. The opposition is as widespread as the public interest in the irrigation question. It is perfectly true that the elements which will stand together to bring about the defeat of this bill could not be united in support of any alternative measure. They represent wide differences of opinion as to what ought not to be done—they agree that the Works bill ought not to become a law. The friends of the bill have said that the southern opposition proceeds exclusively from water companies. In tion, will understand how the people in those wonderful settlements are alarmed at the suggestion of giving such powers to public officials located at the State Capitol, 500 miles away. Water has been obtained by the expenditure of millions of dollars; titles have become fairly well settled after years of litigation, and the use of water has been reduced to the most economical and scientific terms after a long series of experiments, marked with many failures but crowned at last with splendid success. It is now proposed to give a state board what amounts to arbitrary power to upset all these established conditions and to unsettle title to water rights which is the foundation of scores of communities and thousands of farms. To illustrate, Riverside uses one inch of water to each four acres of its orange orchards. There are communities which subsist by the use of one inch to eight acres. The State Board of Engineers might, under the terms of this bill, declare that Riverside is wasting one-half of its present supply, and that, therefore, the other half is open to appropriation by some new company which might desire to divert the water elsewhere. The attempt to do this would be followed by bitter litigation and an amount of social and political friction which has never been seen in this state. The justification of this feature of the Works bill is found in the limitation of water rights to actual beneficial use, which is the recognized rule in arid regions. But the danger lies in the application of the rule by a system not well adapted to established conditions and under methods which cannot command the public confidence. If there is any part of the world where water is economically used it is in the celebrated communities of South-actual cost of repairs, maintenance, operation and depreciation, and not less than the then legal rate of interest net on the actual necessary cost of its plant." "Not less than the then legal rate of interest net" may mean any rate of interest whatever. "Repairs, maintenance, operation and depreciation" is capable of wide differences of construction, and many fear it would result in a duplication of items entering into cost. In some localities the consumers have figured out that under this provision of the Works bill they would be called upon to purchase the plant about once in every twenty years—yet never own it! In one of the publications explaining the Works bill a friend of the measure points out the interesting fact that the State Board of Engineers would be expected to fix a rate which would return dividends on "the increasing value" of water rights and real estate. This would furnish a basis for endless extortion. Having come to California and made use of the water supply, the unfortunate settlers would pay a constantly "increasing" dividend upon values created by their presence. Gymnasiums It is to be hoped that the time may come when every country town will be provided with a gymnasium. Gymnasiums are needed almost as much as schools, for what value is learning without health? Yet there is danger in badly conducted gymnasiums, where the unguided youth may bring on himself injuries in his blind efforts for improvement. Most boys need to be told where their weak points are and to be guided in the work of improving them, and the weak lads need to be held back from attempting at once to imitate the stronger ones. But the weak boy often develops amazingly, and it is a fact that a large number of athletes and The friends of the measure sought to convey the impression that opposition is confined to Southern California. Here they are also mistaken. The opposition is as widespread as the public interest in the irrigation question. It is perfectly true that the elements which will stand together to bring about the defeat of this bill could not be united in support of any alternative measure. They represent wide differences of opinion as to what ought not to be done—they agree that the Works bill ought not to become a law. The friends of the bill have said that the southern opposition proceeds exclusively from water companies. In order to understand this statement the reader should know that in most Southern California communities the local water company includes practically the entire population. The Riverside convention, which assembled on December 29th last, in response to the summons of Senator Caldwell to protest against the Works bill, was composed of representatives of more than a score of small water companies. Every one of these was a co-operative association, owned and conducted by the men who till the land. Not one of them was a water-selling corporation. The co-operative water company is as much the peculiar institution of Southern California as the town-meeting is that of New England. And the one is as democratic as the other. At the outset of this debate there should be no confusion in the public mind between the co-operative organizations, formed for the purpose of joining the ownership of water and land, and the speculative corporations which own the water apart from the land and sell or rent it for "all the traffic will bear." The active users of water, as distinguished from the settlers of water, are everywhere opposed to the Works bill. So are the friends of the national irrigation movement, the advocates of public ownership of public utilities, and in my judgment, the vast majority of the members of the Water and Forest association itself. The truth is that the authors of the bill utterly failed to understand the needs and wishes of those who are doing the real work of irrigation. They did not consult the irrigators, nor the representatives of other popular movements, and they even ignored the declarations of the platform in which the appointment of this commission was provided. Thus it happens that they have brought forth an impossible measure, which receives opposition from every direction and seems clearly destined to go promptly to overwhelming defeat. The Works bill creates a board of four engineers, to be appointed by the Governor. They are vested with large authority over the water supply of the state. Besides measuring the streams and keeping records, this board is to perform the following duties: Define the duty of water according to the locality and the soil; define the portion of the year during which water shall be supplied for irrigation; regulate the extent and points of diversion from rivers, streams or other waters; regulate from time to time the rates to be charged by water-selling corporations; If there is any part of the world where water is economically used it is in the celebrated communities of Southern California. The stream is often diverted into cemented ditches and the supply distributed by underground pipes, with hydrants at the highest points of numerous subdivisions. Not a drop is wilfully wasted. The annual charge for water, delivered at actual cost by companies serving only their own stockholders, is frequently higher than need be paid as the purchase price of good land located elsewhere in the state. To ask a people living under these conditions to put their precious water supply at the mercy of a State Board of Engineers is to ask something which everybody in Southern California recognizes as unjust, unnecessary and impossible. Nor was this ever expected by those who advocated the reform of our irrigation laws. What was desired was a judicial determination of existing rights in communities which are disturbed by constant litigation over conflicting titles and endless friction in the distribution of water. The need of establishing the duty of water in different localities has long been recognized, but this has been regarded as a work for agricultural experts, and not for a board of officers acting under the terms laid down in the Works bill. Space is not available for anything approaching a complete analysis of this feature of the proposed law. It is enough to say that it would actually put in peril every existing water right in California, and that it would plunge the State into a sea of litigation. For this reason those who are now using the waters of our streams, whether they live in the northern, the central or the southern counties, cry out against the Works bill with loud and unanimous voice. In all respects the bill is a sad travesty of the reform measures which have been advocated, based upon the examples of some other states. In no respect is it more so than in its curious attempt to satisfy the demand for some form of public supervision where conflicts often arise over the distribution of water. The Works bill authorizes the State Board of Engineers to appoint deputies at the request of companies having water for sale and rental. These deputies are to be paid by the companies requesting their appointment, but are to be under the direction of the state board. Their duty is "to regulate the supply and use and the manner thereof." Practically this is an extension of the vicious principle of private police, for these deputies will be clothed with the power of state. This provision was unlawful. It is so hoped that this may come when every country town will be provided with a gymnasium. Gymnasiums are needed almost as much as schools, for what value is learning without health? Yet there is danger in badly conducted gymnasiums, where the unguided youth may bring on himself injuries in his blind efforts for improvement. Most boys need to be told where their weak points are and to be guided in the work of improving them, and the weak lads need to be held back from attempting at once to imitate the stronger ones. But the weak boy often develops amazingly, and it is a fact that a large number of athletes and strong men were once weak and ailing in their youthful days. This being the case the weak boy should not be discouraged, for unknowingly he may have in himself the making of a great athlete. Outdoor work is necessary for health, but it is a fact that nearly all the famous strong men and athletes of the world have developed and perfected their powers within a gymnasium. It is always interesting to know in what way others have developed athletic perfection, and much good may be obtained from their instructions. As in eating, so in exercising—you should learn by experience how much is best for you to do. I always try to have my heart keep pace with my muscles. It is certainly an art to become strong, and therefore a good physical constitution with a strong muscular body is one of the grandest things to possess. Such a person feels the thrill of life in every nerve and realizes that it is a joy to live. There is among a few narrow-minded people a prejudice against athletics, but happily this prejudice is slowly disappearing in these days of athletics revival. The mother who is annoyed by the sounds made by her boy and his chum or companion who are practicing together in athletics in the shed on barn may well content herself with the thought that while he is thus employed her son is not acquiring any of the weakening and degrading habits practiced by such a large majority of the boys of today. I wish to state here a few examples of the athletic powers of great men Peter the Great was a man of great beauty and physical development at the age of eighteen. Nobody doubt that the rise of Russia to its present proud and threatening position is due chiefly to Peter the Great. At eightteen Daniel Webster was tall, pale and slender, but later on his indulgence in field sports and athletics in generals confirmed his health, and at the age of fifty he would challenge his two grown up sons to wrestle with him on his lawn and could throw either of them Bismark, the man of iron, was a will lad during his student days, fighting not less than twenty-eight duels, each of which became out victorious. The only wound he ever received was caused by the breaking of his advices' blade. He was cut on his cheek, leaving a scar that remained for life.

PersonWhoIsNotAbleToBeFoundByAnyoneAtAnyPlaceWhereSomePeople Are The Works bill creates a board of four engineers, to be appointed by the Governor. They are vested with large authority over the water supply of the state. Besides measuring the streams and keeping records, this board is to perform the following duties: Define the duty of water according to the locality and the soil; define the portion of the year during which water shall be supplied for irrigation; regulate the extent and points of diversion from rivers, streams or other waters; regulate from time to time the rates to be charged by water-selling corporations; regulate the manner in which water is to be supplied to persons entitled thereto—whether continuously or at stated intervals or under both systems; determine what constitutes surplus water available for new appropriations; finally, to perform all the duties and exercise the powers now imposed and conferred upon the Commissioner of Public Works and the auditing board to the Commissioner of Public Works, which offices are abolished by this bill. It would be impossible in an article of this length to elaborate the objections which have arisen to the creation of the State Board of Engineers. First of all it is believed that the expense would be enormous and would lay a heavy burden upon the taxpayers, including those living in portions of the state having no direct interest in irrigation. Aside from this, there is the danger of a powerful political machine to grow from this central authority with an unlimited number of deputies and assistants distributed along the streams of the state. The powers granted to the board in dealing with the water supply are quite revolutionary. They are not to be justified by precedents established in Wyoming and other states, because the method of their application provided in the Works bill is entirely different. If a board of engineers can say where water is to be diverted from the streams, at what seasons and in what amount it is to be applied to the land, and how it is to be apportioned to different soils and crops, then the control of the irrigation industry passes irrevocably from the hands of the land owners. Anyone who has the slightest familiarity with the struggle for water, as it has gone on in Southern California for more than a genera- some form of public supervision where conflicts often arise over the distribution of water. The Works bill authorizes the State Board of Engineers to appoint deputies at the request of companies having water for sale and rental. These deputies are to be paid by the companies requesting their appointment, but are to be under the direction of the state board. Their duty is "to regulate the supply and use and the manner thereof." Practically this is an extension of the vicious principle of private police, for these deputies will be clothed with the power of the state. This provision was unquestionably placed in the bill for the benefit of great corporations which sell water to large numbers of producers and have constant trouble with the owners of smaller ditches taking water from the same stream. The danger and injustice which might readily arise from this provision is so obvious as to need no comment whatever. Two other very dangerous provisions of the bill relate to the loss of water rights under certain conditions. Rights lapse after two years' non-use—something that may readily happen on the torrential streams of the South. Rights are also lost upon failure to pay water rent for one year and revert—to the state? Oh, no! To the corporation which will sell them over again to some neighbor of the ruined settler. The State Board of Engineers is to grant franchises for the use of water. That is, it is to give these franchises away, although the right to store the flood waters in California will in time be as valuable as the street railway franchises of San Francisco and Los Angeles. The Board is also to fix the rates at which water is to be sold or rented, taking this power from the supervisors. There are some communities in this State which depend for their existence on water obtained from private companies which have acquired the rights of the streams. These communities are alarmed at the proposition to have their rates fixed by a tribunal appointed by the Governor, and thus beyond the direct control of the water consumers. Moreover, they are alarmed at the very elaborate provisions made in the Works bill as the basis for fixing rates. These rates must be sufficient to "return to said person, corporation or association the field sports and athletics in general confirmed his health, and at the age of fifty he would challenge his two grown-up sons to wrestle with him on their lawn and could throw either of them Bismark, the man of iron, was a wild lad during his student days, fighting not less than twenty-eight duels, in each of which he came out victorious. The only wound he ever received was caused by the breaking of his adversary's blade. He was cut on the left cheek, leaving a scar that remained for life. What most impressed all of first seeing Bismark was the evidence of his vast bodily strength. Without his wonderful strength he never could have accomplished one-tenth of that work that fell upon him, and he would have been crushed beneath the fearful burden of empire making. His figure was that of a powerful fighting man and in all the German army there were no man of finer physique. He was always interested in manly sports and was a great jumper, a fleet runner, splendid swimmer, and could row, ride fence and shoot. It is said that with rifle he could decapitate a duck at distance of 300 feet, and has a record as a fighter with his fists when necessary. Lincoln had not a graceful body but during his youth he was the best athlete in his neighborhood. He ways seemed to out-run, out-jump and out-wrestle all opponents, and he regarded by respect by all who knew anything of his strength and skill. He used to say to his grandson: "Wake skate and run daily, and take care your health, because a broken body like a sword without a handle, and trying to handle it you are liable cut yourself." Among the great athletic men on day are President Roosevelt and Miral Dewey, the former having name of being the best boxer that graduated from Harvard. His physical powers have been tested both political campaigns, during bunk expeditions and in active campaigns a soldier, and though his enemies sneered he remains and always will main a most remarkable man, physically and mentally. But this country has never produced a finer athlete than George Washington. Records show that he was best developed than Jeffries, Corbett and Simmons or John L. Sullivac. Gazette. 1903.

Washington was one of the finest boxers of his time, and it is said that if he were living today and would train that he could put any of the above mentioned "out" in the encounter. Great wrestler though he was, he held the palm as a jumper, and is said to have covered twenty-three feet. Napoleon the last (not least) was a man of stone and iron and could sit on horseback sixteen to twenty hours and go many days without rest or food except by snatches. He had a short figure, but was active and perfectly put together and with the spring and speed of a tiger. This chapter teaches its own lesson and yet these are but a few examples chosen from among the athletic great men in the world's bygone and present time. EMIL TURK.

Of the many college songs which have been written at Berkeley during past years, those which have stood the test of time, like "Palms of Victory" or "All for the Sake of California" have been culled out, and to the collection are to be added a number which are now being written especially for the book. The volume will be edited by a committee including Professor Charles Mills Gayley, head of the English department, Professor Leon J.

U.W.CO.—$5000 Bonus Offered -His Reasons FULLERTON, CAL., Jan. 22, '03. EDITOR GAZETTE:—As there continues to be more or less dissatisfaction among some of the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water company over the purchase of the Durkee ranch, and as I, in a measure, feel responsible for the purchase of said property, I will, in order to relieve the company of what to some is a very objectionable and expensive piece of property, make the following proposition: I will take the said one-half interest of this property and its water rights and give the company the amount it paid Mr. Durkee and besides a bonus of $5000. This I make through your paper at this time in order that the stockholders may have an opportunity of considering the matter and acting upon it at the coming annual meeting. By disposing of this property, which has ever since its purchase been a bone of contention with some of the stockholders and the directors, I trust that greater harmony will prevail, both among the stockholders and the directors, all of which will redound to the advancement of the material interest of the company. This will also remove a source of much mental irritation which has ever since the acquisition of this property greatly annoyed some of the stockholders. CHARLES C. CHAPMAN Blown to Atoms The old idea that the body sometimes needs a powerful, drastic, purgative pill has been exploded; for Dr. King's New Life Pills, which are perfectly harmless, gently stimulate liver But the weak boy often amazingly, and it is a fact large number of athletes and were once weak and ailing with faithful days. This being the weak boy should not be disfavor unknowingly he may myself the making of a great outdoor work is necessary but it is a fact that nearly numerous strong men and athletes have developed and perished powers within a gymnasium. Always interesting to know in others have developed athletics, and much good may be from their instructions. Being so in exercising you learn by experience how much you do. I always try to keep pace with my muscular certainly an art to become therefore a good physical man with a strong muscular one of the grandest things to such a person feels the thrill every nerve and realizes that too live. Among a few narrow-minded prejudice against athletics, only this prejudice is slowly lingering in these days of athletics. The mother who is annoyed hands made by her boy and his companion who are practicing in athletics in the shed or well content herself with the hat while he is thus employed is not acquiring any of the ing and degrading habits practiced a large majority of the day. To state here a few examples athletic powers of great men. Great was a man of great and physical development at eighteen.

The government ownership of railroads in France is the subject to be discussed this year by the students of California and Stanford in the Carnot debate for a gold medal, offered annually by Baron Pierre de Coubertin of Paris to stimulate interest in French public affairs. The University of California library being almost without authorative literature on the subject, the Stanford debaters have hospitably invited their California opponents to avail themselves of all the resources of the special railway library at Stanford. Every effort is being made to bring about yearly boating contests between California and Stanford. The California men have a boat-house and rowing and swimming facilities on Oakland creek, an estuary of San Francisco bay. The Stanford students are now endeavoring to raise funds to build and equip a boat-house, together with the necessary means of approach, on the bay shore a few miles from Stanford. “The Gentle Craft,” a collection of some of the earlst of English short stories, has just been published in Berlin by Professor Alexis F. Lange of the University of California. His introduction and notes throw valuable light on important matters connected with the early history of English fiction. “The Beginnings of Dramatic Criticism,” a considerable volume which forms a valuable contribution to the history of English literature and of English criticism has just been published in Paris, in French, by Harold S. Symmes, who graduated from the University of California in 1899, and who has since been engaged in graduate study in English in Paris, Berlin, London and Oxford. A Deep Mystery It is a mystery why women endure backache, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, fainting and dizzy spells when thousands have proved that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles. “I suffered for years with kidney trouble,” writes Mrs. Phebe Cherley of Peterson, Ia., and a lame back pained me so I could not dress myself, but Electric Bitters wholly cured me, and, although 73 years old, I now am able to do all my housework.” It overcomes constipation, improves appetite, gives perfect health.

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.
