Here is an excerpt from a booklet recently issued by the state board of trade: It has already been stated that irrigation was first resorted to in California in those sections where a profit from irrigation was first most evident. These sections have of course been where the rainfall is least. In that portion of the state south of Tehachapi commonly known as Southern California, the development of irrigation was rapid, continuing with bounds until the water supply available in the streams was practically exhausted. Since then the irrigated area has been extended only by resort to pumping from wells and by endeavoring to make the water already diverted irrigate two acres where it irrigated only one before. Knocking Southern California, did you say? A lot more like it appears in this latest spasm from the north. The object is doubtless to create the impression that this section is at the ultimate limit of its development, while the north stretches out its arms invitingly to the thousands of eastern home-seekers now flocking into this section to investigate into the feasibility of the site for reservoir purification of its construction. His report states that borings shown at a depth of 25 feet below the posed dam a stratum of "blueish-yellow clay" was entered, of a thickness of 14 feet that borings made at point and 800 feet north of the showed the same formation, ing that the stratum of toughness is "continuous and unbroken." Report goes into details of condition, maps were submitted showing the adaptability of the site for servoir purposes, and the suggestion made that the height of this as recommended by Engineer Logg be increased "from 5 feet," which would largely increase its capacity. All this and said this gentleman of the reservoir site three years ago it is an "infamous project." Mr. Sherwood reported, in 1902, in favor of the project held the position of engineer charge of construction of the at hand. Since then he has superceded by Engineer Ke who has since then construc great reservoir in Havana. Logg reports the site is most vantageous for a reservoir Sherwood says 'tis "an infamous project." Can't be that this did you say? A lot more like it appears in this latest spasm from the north. The object is doubtless to create the impression that this section is at the ultimate limit of its development, while the north stretches out its arms invitingly to the thousands of eastern home-seekers now flocking into this section. Too bad, too bad; we are sorry for Red Bluff. No more malicious fabrication was ever uttered by Gen. Chipman, statistician of the state board of trade. So far from being at its limit as to irrigation development, Southern California is at the very threshold of an unexampled exploitation of its resources. The $22,000,000 Owens river deal, intended to bring 20,000 inches of water 240 miles to Los Angeles, is one of the items of this development. That is a gigantic project, yet we doubt if Gen. Chipman ever heard of it. It is the largest work of its character, projected by private enterprise, in the history of the United States, yet the state board of trade does not give it even a passing reference in its latest publication. Nor is this the only irrigation enterprise in this section. Many cases may be cited, which though not upon such gigantic scale, all make for the development of our irrigation resources. The Imperial water development project, one of the largest in the United States, might be included, yet the state board of trade passed it by unnoticed. Here's another extract from this precious brochure: It may be a surprise to some to learn that there are nearly a million acres of rich valley land now under ditch, but which is not irrigated on account of lack of settlers. The inference sought to be conveyed is without doubt that this land is in Southern California, charge of construction of the at hand. Since then he has superceded by Engineer Kel who has since then constructed great reservoir in Havana. logg reports the site is most vantageous for a reservoir Sherwood says 'tis "an infa-project." Can't be that this tleman's summersault upon project is due to the fact that no longer in charge of construc as engineer? Whether this be or not, the Anaheim irrigator mand that it be constructed meeting of stockholders last mer favored it, and it is be belief that the lofty gymnast Mr. Sherwood can prevent it course this amusing person buck the project harder than If Kellogg should build it and it into successful operation, says he can, Sherwood's re tion as an engineer would still ther decline, until he could even aspire to the nomination county surveyor. Santa Ana officers raided a "pig" in the Rossmore hotel in town the other night, and confi large quantities of liquor. What matter with Anaheim officers fo ing the example set by Santa Why is not the blind pig said operating here raided and it goods confiscated? A FINE APPOINTMENT From the Cultivator. President Wheeler has just ap ed J. B. Neff of Anaheim as cone of farmers' institutes in Southern ifornia. Mr. Neff is a well-known grower of Orange county and has for years a leader in the local as tion of walnut growers and mana the Southern California de fruit exchange. He has also prominent as a speaker at farm stitutes in Southern California thoroughly in sympathy with u sity extension in agricultural line will proceed energetically in or ing meetings to be held duri trade passed it by unnoticed. Here's another extract from this precious brochure: It may be a surprise to some to learn that there are nearly a million acres of rich valley land now under ditch, but which is not irrigated on account of lack of settlers. The inference sought to be conveyed is without doubt that this land is in Southern California, which it is not. It is in the northern part of the state, if it exists at all. But it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to keep track of all the infamies of the state board of trade and its prize herd of gorgeous and prismatic liars. Gen. Chipman is a matzah ponem. Orange County shipped out the first carload of new crop oranges this year, also the first carload of walnuts and the first carload of celery. Mr. Sherwood rushes into print to characterize the Yorba reservoir as an infamous project, adding that it is to be revised as a means of furnishing water to a large area of the water company. Yet this gentleman did not always characterize the reservoir project so. Time was when he really believed it to be a very good thing. On July 5, 1902, being then a member of a committee appointed Superintendent's Report.

"Name the cavities," said a school-teacher to a small boy, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean. The boy was very round. His body was round, his eyes were round and his legs were round, and one of them drew up as if by pulley as he screwed his head on his neck and twisted his round mouth to say: "T-t-the head cavity, the thorax cavity and the borax cavity. The head cavity's what we keep our brains in to think with and the thorax cavity's what we keep our lungs in to breathe with and the borax cavity's what we keep the vowels in, consisting of A, E, I, O and U and sometimes W and Y." No Quarter Granted. This story, which is told of a Scottish highlander who served in the French INSTITUTES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NEFF is a well-known fruit grower county and has been under in the local association of growers and manager of California deciduous orchards. He has also been a speaker at farmers' in southern California and is sympathy with university agricultural lines and energetically in organization to be held during the winter and spring. Mr. Neff's Anaheim will be of advance work as it is a central county of notable agriculties, as well as greatly agriculture. All localities south of the Tehachapi irrigation farmers' institutes correspond directly with NO QUARTER GRANTED. This story, which is told of a Scottish highlander who served in the French war, illustrates either the bloodthirstiness or the unique ideas of humor of the Scotchman. This highlander had overtaken a fleeing Frenchman and was about to strike him down when, falling on his knees, the Frenchman cried: "Quarter! Quarter!" "I'll no' ha' time to quarter ye," the Scot answered. "I'll just cut ye in twa." HE HAD TO LAUGH. "I had to laugh the other day"— "You don't mean you were absolutely compelled to, I hope?"
