Probably the three most popular men on the republican ticket, as well as the three men best fitted to fulfill the duties of the offices to which they have been nominated, are S. O. Walker of Buena Park for sheriff, Johnny Lamb of Santa Ana for tax collector, and Wm. G. Potter of the same place for treasurer. Concerning these men's candidacy, excellent reports come from every section of the county, from Olinda to Huntington Beach and from La Habra to San Juan. It is the opinion of many that these three candidates will lead their opponents by larger majorities than any other men on the ticket. This does not of course apply to those of the party's candidates who have no democratic opponent, and who will probably make a clean sweep of it throughout the county. The democrats long since gave up hope of electing any candidates to these latter offices, and so left them off the ticket in the nominating convention. They might have added three more offices to the list, for when the three men here mentioned were placed in nomination, their popularity was at once seen to be such that their opponents had little if any chance at the polls. From the day of their nomination to the present time their election has been about conceded, and it looks now uniform fetching his mind wet his whistle with. But not for Jop of Trabuca this people want Potter. Vote him, and will take none other handled millions of the people as county treasurer in his office, and is entitled to Not a penny of the public ever unaccounted for understation. The democrats are making efforts to trade off these cans. Having no candidate sor, recorder, and coroner administrator, they have these fights. But they are people to vote for their for sheriff, treasurer and in return for support for corder, and coroner. We fight, but underhanded triumph politics and not a Let no republican be deceitful trade your candidates. Strike Do not knife them, but seize They are your party nominate by them. Value of a High Duty And the Means of Obey Prof. Samuel Fortier, Irrigating charge of Pacific District, Drainage Investigations, at Congress at Boise, Idaho. IN TWO PARTS—PAIR Ways and Means of Induction Duty.—The irrigation devoid the University of California in conjunction with the experiment stations, is now on experiments, and, at time, the most efficient latter offices, and so left them off the ticket in the nominating convention. They might have added three more offices to the list, for when the three men here mentioned were placed in nomination, their popularity was at once seen to be such that their opponents had little if any chance at the polls. From the day of their nomination to the present time their election has been about conceded, and it looks now as if they will practically sweep all sections of the county. Starting with a majority of at least 1200, they have not rested content with their normal party vote, but have made an energetic campaign in all sections of the county, with the result that they are leaving their competitors farther and farther in the distance as the days go by. The cause of their popularity with the voter is not far to seek. Mr. Walker is probably the best equipped man in the county for the office of sheriff. He is an honest farmer of the Buena Park section, where he has lived nearly fifteen years. He has been a consistent republican all his life, and has probably more people in the county under obligations to him for favors performed than any other man. Ask Walker for a favor and it's done. He has taken off his coat and helped elect more men to office than any man who ever lived in the county. He has never asked for office for himself, and he is now the nominee of his party for sheriff at the demand of friends throughout the county. Not a single republican should think of anything but extending loyal support to this wheelhorse of the party. A vote for Walker is a vote for a man who is free from all corrupt political contamination. He knows no faction, belongs to none. He is simply a plain republican and is entitled to the support of every true republican in the county. Johnny Lamb for tax collector will take the measure of Mr. Pink Undershirt Robinson with neatness and dispatch. Robinson has been elected by republican votes in the past, but his eight years of office-holding seems a genteel sufficiency for a man who wears his style of undershirt. Not so to his way of thinking. Robinson would hold the office forty years, and kick at letting go at that time, if the boys were foolish enough to elect him as often as he asked for office. He is a pestilen- IN TWO PARTS—PART I Ways and Means of Incorporation Duty.—The irrigation department of the University of California in conjunction with the experiment stations, is now on experiments, and, at time, the most efficient canals.

Robinson has been elected by republican votes in the past, but his eight years of office-holding seems a genteel sufficiency for a man who wears his style of undershirt. Not so to his way of thinking. Robinson would hold the office forty years, and kick at letting go at that time, if the boys were foolish enough to elect him as often as he asked for office. He is a pestilential seeker after office, and is one of the kind that never lets go so long as there is a piece of hide to hang on. Johnny Lamb is a popular self-made man. He has never asked for office before, is clean and honorable, a member of the Methodist church, and a first-class citizen. He is fitted to fill the duties of the office. He has lived in the county some twenty years. He is a successful business-man of the county seat, where he lives happily with his wife and family. He is regarded as one of the strongest men in Santa Ana, and will poll his entire party strength at the county seat. As well as make serious inroads into the democratic vote. Vote for him. His opponent in past campaigns has been able to secure republican votes in various precincts in the county, but will not be able to do so in this year of grace. In fact, good republicans have been putting nails in his coffin right along. They are for Lamb to a man. Wm. G. Potter for treasurer has a walkover. Br'er Joplin is another one of the contingent who never lets go. Joplin once got a smell of the court house and it has lingered by him ever since. He would fain recline in an easy chair under the palmetto trees in courthouse yard, drawing a fat salary, even for the days he didn't work, with a negro servant in a Ku-Klux Klan The uncertainty as to the necessity of certain canal lines us to conduct the series of measurements previously referred to sults of which, it is hoped be a guide to good practice. I believe the duty of water be considerable increased during each water user's usual practice of contracting nominal amount of water for the season, and permitting the user or the water master at the amount delivered at the least, a slid-shed way, water, and one which pumps on waste. Irrigation Southern California is now for the most part in metropolitan stated intervals. Work would be tolerated. One of the largest canals in Joaquin valley changed to contracts from the old form allowed a specified amount for the season, without In fetching his mint juleps to whistle with.

Democrats are making herculean trade off these three republicans. Having no candidates for asses-order, and coroner and public collector, they have abandoned rights. But they are asking to vote for their candidates, griff, treasurer and tax collector for support for assessor, re- and coroner.

Stand on. Of a High Duty of Water the Means of Obtaining It Manuel Fortier, Irrigating Engineer, in of Pacific District, Irrigation and Geo Investigations, at the Irrigation Press at Boise, Idaho. IN TWO PARTS—PART II. Means and Means of Increasing the Irrigation Department of University of California, working function with the office of extent stations, is now carrying experiments, and, at the same time most efficient linings forment, to one which called for a measured volume per acre. Another irrigation district in California, which used over 600 cubic feet per second last month, is contemplating measuring each man's share next year, not so much to save water as to prevent excessive use, and the removal of the surplus through drainage canals and pumping plants. In the state of Washington, prior to 1903, the Sunnyside canal could not furnish water for more than 25,-000 acres. From 1903 to the present a complete system of weirs has been in operation and each man's share is measured. Last year the same canal, carrying the same volume of water that it did in 1903, watered 38,000 acres. An early and equitable settlement of claims to water is another means of increasing the duty of water. Existing claims to water may be grouped under three heads: 1. Those which have been adjudicated in a satisfactory manner; 2. Those which have been decreed excessive amounts and 3. Those which have not been judicially settled, or even defined. Now, it will be generally conceded, I believe, that the first group contains fewer than the second, and that the third contains more than the first and second combined. A decree which empowers a water user to divert more water than he can economically use could not prove otherwise than wasteful of water. So long, also, as claims remain unsettled, so long will claimants make a pretense of using more than they and Means of Increasing the The irrigation department of University of California, working function with the office of exent stations, is now carrying experiments, and, at the same time most efficient linings for the tests are made in 12 ditches. Various kinds of concretes, cement plaster, soil, asphaltum, puddled clay are used. In the course of months the results will be to be published. Subject is attracting a great attention at the present time. Increasing scarcity and value of compelling canal companeasures to stop some of losses. The losses due to seepnew canals, in particular, are normously high. The other superintendent of a canal in Ramato valley turned in 125 feet per second of water and some available for irrigation by 40 cubic feet. Fourteen ditch had absorbed the balAnother California canal sundent, in writing to our offited that he had turned in 55 feet through the headgate of material and only had a stream bic feet at the lower end. He to know what kind of lining dish recommend. These, it is exceptional cases, but the number of seepage measurewhich have been made in the past seven years under supervision of Elwood Mead, Huntington, show quite concluthe extent of this loss. It is more general results that I used my estimate of this loss water from the source to regated field. The remedy for high transmission losses is more mous channels. In improveof this character, the first step is to ascertain the extent of I believe, that the first group contains fewer than the second, and that the third contains more than the first and second combined. A degree which empowers a water user to divert more water than he can economically use could not prove otherwise than wasteful of water. So long, also, as claims remain unsettled, so long will claimants make a pretense of using more than they really need in order to substantiate their claims for an ample supply. There are several other means of obtaining a high duty of water, whose importance is so generally recognized that I shall do no more than to name them. Some of these are: The skillful application of water; thorough preparation of the soil, well made ditches, and an efficient system of distributing and delivering water to which each user is entitled. In conclusion, I can but refer briefly to some of the practical methods that may be employed to check the excessive evaporation losses from soil surfaces. The results of our experiments thus far seem to show that about one-half of the water which is spread over the fields in irrigation, passes off into the air without benefitting the plants. The greater part of this loss occurs during the time when water is applied and for a day or two afterwards. On orchard soils in warm weather the evaporation from the soil may reach 70 tons per acre in 24 hours. Now it has been shown that the cultivation of the surface to a depth of 6 inches prevents more than one-half of the subsequent loss. The use of well pulverized soil mulches is another means of checking evaporation. The tests conducted in Southern California show that a 10-inch layer of dry granular soil gives complete protection, that an 8-inch layer will save five-sixths of the moisture beneath, and a 4-inch layer two-thirds of the moisture. Wherever it is practical and for The use of well pulverized soil mulches is another means of checking evaporation. The tests conducted in Southern California show that a 10-inch layer of dry granular soil gives complete protection, that an 8-inch layer will save five-sixths of the moisture beneath, and a 4-inch layer two-thirds of the moisture. Wherever it is practical and for deep-rooted plants, deep irrigation should be practiced, since it retards evaporation. On a citrus orchard near Riverside, in August of 1905, for every 137 gallons which were evaporated from surface irrigation, only 98 gallons were evaporated from furrows 9 inches deep. Some crops cannot be cultivated during the period of growth, but even in the case of these, much can be done to check evaporation from the surface. One means if to irrigate less often and apply larger quantities. In following this practice the bulk of the water will be placed beyond the reach of the agencies which vaporize moisture. Another means which is frequently employed is to apply the water after sunset. The main factor in evaporation is temperature. Warm water at 89 degrees F. loses by evaporation about seven times more than cold water at 54 degrees. The difference between day and night temperatures in the west is usually 25 degrees, hence the advantage of applying water after sunset.
