UNDERGROUND WATERS OF ORANGE COUNTY (Continued from page 2). Ana valley systems originate; and Santiago creek, in the vicinity of Villa Park and El Modena. LA HABRA AND EAST WHITTIER SYSTEMS. The La Habra and East Whittier Water company procures water from the San Gabriel valley above the Paso de Bartolo, by means of a battery of wells and pumps. The water is discharged into an old ditch which has been covered with concrete and so converted practically into a pipe line. This line extends to Pickering avenue, Whittier. From Pickering avenue to the La Habra pumping station the water flows through a 36-inch wooden pipe line. From the pumping station about 3300 feet of 26-inch steel pipe is used for the lift of 110 feet to the reservoir above. A 120-horsepower steam pump has been installed for this lift. From this reservoir about 6000 feet of cement pipe extends to an arroyo southeast of the pumping station, and a 24-inch concrete pipe runs from this point to the center of sec. 5, t 3 s, r 10 w. A 22-inch pipe extends thence to the reservoir and pumping station on the west line of the Rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana. From this station a lower 22-inch gravity line extends to the east side of Brea canyon, and a line about 2000 feet long, with a lift of 66 feet, extends to a distributing box above the pumping station, whence a distributing pipe, in part steel, extends eastward to beyond Brea canyon.

This decrease has been caused by the tends thence to the reservoir and pumping station on the west line of the Rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana. From this station a lower 22-inch gravity line extends to the east side of Brea canyon, and a line about 2000 feet long, with a lift of 66 feet, extends to a distributing box above the pumping station, whence a distributing pipe, in part steel, extends eastward to beyond Brea canyon. From the La Habra station the California Domestic Water company has a gravity line running southward for two or three miles toward Coyote creek and serving the adjacent lands. SANTA ANA SYSTEMS. All of the water flowing in the Santa Ana river at Bedrock canyon, 4 miles west of Rincon, where its flow is supposed to at a maximum, is taken from the river bed and divided equally between the Anaheim Union Water company, which supplies the lands north of the river, and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, which serves the lands south of the river. A division box of wood, supported by piling, has been built at Bedrock canyon. One-half the water of the river is diverted here into the Anaheim Union Water company's canal; the other half, after the division, is returned to the river bed and is taken out again at the headworks of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company's canal three miles below. Smythe's Latest Scheme A plan to unite individual with government enterprise in the development of a great irrigation project in San Diego county, is under consideration by the Reclamation Service. It was called to the attention of Secretary Hitchcock and officials of the survey by William E. Smythe of San Diego, one of the originators of the movement. He has been at Washington several days looking into the local aspects of the matter and says no additional legislation will be necessary to carry the project into effect, provided it is approved on engineering and economic grounds. Smythe's plan is to work an irrigation district under the new California law which is an outgrowth of the Bee raising has always much-prized branch of work in Holland, although since has been in a state of decline the years between 1860 and bee colonies were reduced half what they had been before. This decrease has been caused by the colsa and buckwheat. But besides this there was cause. The dutch agriculture have been content with the raising bees and the old hives. These old hives can be seen on nearly all In the United States, honey newest methods and inventions been employed to make things better and to increase production. The result is land is literally flooded we can honey. Honey to the millions of florins (a florin 40 cents) is imported not only does the real come in, but the artificial as well, made fresh from meal, of which the bees are innocent. Still it has been proved markably large harvests beekeepers in Holland country is admirably ade bee feeding, that it is, in as good as the best American Wisconsin and California heaths covered with blooms of our provinces are ideal for producing honey. No is going to waste, much riment of our orchards fields, which now also ruil little fertilizing agents. We buy at a great expense when soil could produce with e Of late years, however, has been made by some keeping firms who have the American bee dwelling movable honeycombs. I found that the Dutchman ancient methods make him survey by William E. Smythe of San Diego, one of the originators of the movement. He has been at Washington several days looking into the local aspects of the matter and says no additional legislation will be necessary to carry the project into effect, provided it is approved on engineering and economic grounds. Smythe's plan is to work an irrigation district under the new California law which is an outgrowth of the Wright Irrigation District Law, taking in all of the western slope of San Diego county from San Luis Rey to the Mexican border. Irrigation systems already constructed and under construction, like the Sweetwater and Southern California Mountain Water company, are to be brought into the large system, by purchase or condemnation. All other water systems are to be developed to their full capacity and distributing systems constructed, which will bring all irrigable lands under cultivation, as well as supplying communities with water for domestic purposes. Several sites are also available for developing electric power. Governor Pardee, according to Mr. Smythe, is heartily in accord with the plan and stands ready to lend the aid of the state in case all lawful requirements are met. Engineers of the Reclamation Service have been in western San Diego for months exploring streams, gauging the run-off, surveying and otherwise accumulating data which will serve as a basis for the preliminary plans. If Secretary Hitchcock decides to consider the project, a permanent survey will be ordered. In this case, however, as in the Sacramento valley project, Secretary Hitchcock is non- and it is possible that neithect will be entered upon for a note on account of other work alnder way.

But as a fact Wisland California honey practiarry the banner between raising has always been a rized branch of agriculture land, although since 1860 it was in a state of decline. In bars between 1860 and 1900 the monies were reduced to about that they had been before 1860. Decrease has been found to be caused by the increase of specially appointed caretaker. Virgil in his "Georgics" sings of the busy bee. The Germanic nations also practiced apiculture. The introduction of Christianity had a great influence on this as on every other branch of agriculture and horticulture, for the monasteries became practical and theoretical schools in these branches. The use of wax candles on the altars of the churches was a strong incentive to increased wax production. The reformation was rather a blow to the beekeepers, as the use of candles was greatly diminished. The introduction of sugar was also of much influence in the decrease of the honey trade in Europe. Strange to say, California, where the bee was introduced only in 1853, is now the richest bee land of the whole world. HE LOVED THE THEATER. Farces and Clowns Were the Joy of George III. of England. Few men of any rank or time have ever derived so much unaffected pleasure from the theater as George III. In fact, in the words of a contemporary, it was "as good as a play to hear the royal laughter and note the genuine enjoyment of his majesty." "He is said," Thackeray wrote, "not to have cared for Shakespeare or tragedy much. Farces and pantomimes were his joy, and especially when the clown swallowed a carrot or a string of sausages he would laugh so outrageously that the lovely princess by his side would have to say, 'My gracious, monarch, do compose yourself!' And he continued to laugh and at the very smallest farces as long as his poor wits were left him." So frequent were George's visits to the theater that "his face was the most raising has always been a prized branch of agriculture in land, although since 1860 it has been in a state of decline. In years between 1860 and 1900 the monies were reduced to about what they had been before 1860. Decrease has been found to be caused by the increase of bread buckwheat. Besides this there was a deeper rise in the Dutch agriculturalists' content with the old ways using bees and the old fashioned methods and inventions have employed to make the dwell-ter and to increase the honey production. The result is that Holliiterally flooded with American honey. Honey to the value of two florins (a florin is worth one dollar) is imported every year. It does the real, pure honey, but the artificial product made fresh from potato oil which the bees are entirely used. It has been proved by the recently large harvests of several farmers in Holland that this is admirably adapted for milling, that it is, in fact, quite as the best American states, Illinois and California. The large recoveries with bloom in some provinces are ideal grounds producing honey. Now all this is to waste, much to the detriment of our orchards and grain which now also ruin the busy fertilizing agents. We have to pay great expense what our own farm produce with ease. The years, however, a beginning was made by some large bee firms who have imported American bee dwellings with honeycombs. It has been that the Dutchman's slow and methods make him no match have cared for Shakespeare or tragedy much. Farces and pantomimes were his joy, and especially when the clown swallowed a carrot or a string of sausages he would laugh so outrageously that the lovely princess by his side would have to say, 'My gracious, monarch, do compose yourself!' And he continued to laugh and at the very smallest fares as long as his poor wits were left him." So frequent were George's visits to the theater that "his face was the most familiar in London to play"oers, who took no more notice of his presence than if he had been a simple citizen. except when his boisterous laughter drew attention to him and started others laughing out of irresistible infection." As familiar a spectacle as that of his majesty purple and rolling with laughter was to see him sleeping as peacefully as a child between the acts. So partial was he to actors that he permitted and even smiled at liberties which he would have resented in any one else. On one occasion, when Parsons was playing in "The Siege of Calais," the actor walked toward the box in which George was sitting and addressed him in the words of his part: "An the king were here and did not admire my scaffold I would say: 'Hang him! He has no taste,'" a piece of impudence which threw his majesty into a fit of laughter.—London Tit-Bits. PRONUNCIATION. Read Over This Test and Then Consult Your Dictionary.

The Triumphant Spider. A little garter snake about five inches long went to sleep in a wheelwright shop, and a big black spider spun a web around the reptile. When the little snake awoke it was literally in the toils and began to struggle. It finally managed to free its body, but not its head. Meanwhile the spider was industriously spinning fresh threads, stopping occasionally to give the snake a bite. Then-the real fight commenced and lasted for an hour. The snake could not get away, but it tried its best to bite the spider, without avail. Weakened by its futile efforts and the successive stings of the insect, it gradually ceased to struggle and finally died. Then the spider, presumably triumphant, disappeared under the wall.

The tree-planting club on the Staked is in the Panhandle of Texas approach to be an accomplished fact. When a forester from the department of agriculture attended the farmers' press at Amarillo last August, the question was made that the people size a club for the purpose of essablish groves of trees on their lands. This region is naturally treebut there is every reason to be that certain species of trees will if they are properly planted and Southern Pacific cares for. The people of the section have shown such interest in the proposition that the association has already nearly 600 members. It is proposed to organize local divisions in each of the towns and spread the idea throughout the whole Panhandle. The definite objects of the club are to find out what kind of trees are best adapted to the region and how they shall be planted, and to obtainhe necessary material in the most advantageous way. The forest service has agreed to send a competent man to advise the people on all these points, and when definite plans for planting shall have been made, the individual members will combine and purchase their stock in large quantities from the nurserymen. Every farmer in the western country recognizes the value of trees about him, and there is no better evidence of the interest of the people in any practicable plan for the establishment of groves in that section than this movement in Texas. The club idea has been followed for the furtherance of many other projects, but this is perhaps the first time that it has been brought to the advancement of tree planting. As an encouragement to other sections to work in the same way, the forest service at Washington directly offers to furnish expert advice whenever a community shall organize a club of this kind and indicate its desire to establish tree plantations.
