SALOON LICENSE IS DENIED Lapp, the Oil Man, and Trustees Hold Confab Over Old Contract — Lange Attacks Ordinance The city council met in regular session Thursday evening; present Trustees Rust, Gates, Kroeger, Fiscus and Stock. Superintendent of streets reported that the following streets had been oiled: Helena, Clementina, Bush, Vine, Chestnut, Oak and Melrose. Five cars of gravel and three cars of oil had been received and water connections made. The finance committee approved demands against the city amounting to $949 91. The ordinance committee averred that the matter of passing an ordinance prohibiting the distribution of advertising literature, issued by outside merchants, within the city had better be allowed to go by the boards. Stock asked: "Shall we put a corral around the town?" The matter of placing the street arc on West Broadway. Referred to engineer with power to act, provided the property owners there get together as to the arc's location. Fritz Yungbluth's request to transform two old sheds in rear of his store into one "new" one was granted, Fritz, of course, to cover same with corrugated iron. The verbal agreement of Fred Maurer to give strip of land containing a row of walnut trees for the given deeds. Referred to Kroeger, who will intercede parties with curing the deeds. Mr. Kroeger about six signed a petition asking of Oak street. A communication wired from H. Bennerscheidt, for the three tanks and the old plant. Filed. A communication re-received O. A. Mullinix, containing $100 88 for repair of cesna overflow from the new fountain, the same to be jointly by that gentleman city. The bill was ordered city paying its pro rata. It was ordered that can be given their usual situations! Engineer Lewis was in prepare a schedule for Fritz Yungbluth's request to transform two old sheds in rear of his store into one "new" one was granted, Fritz, of course, to cover same with corrugated iron. The verbal agreement of Fred Maurer to give strip of land containing a row of walnut trees for the widening of Broadway, provided the city pay $100 therefor, was referred to the committee on public improvements. Steve Cottle renewed his request for a retail liquor license, stating he would occupy one of the rooms in the new Strodthoff block. The board talked the matter over, sparred for wind, and finally Stock moved that the license be issued. The motion was seconded by Kroeger. The application was knocked out by the following vote: Aye—Stock and Kroeger. Nay—Rust, Gates, Fiscas. C. E. Lapp of Los Angeles appeared before the council in reference to an old oil contract made with the city in 1906. A car of oil remaining undelivered until recently caused the conference. Road oil then was 82c fob Los Angeles, according to the contract, in cars (of about 150 barrels each). The last car received was of great deal larger dimensions, and as oil has soared 20 cents since the contract was made, Mr. Lapp saw trouble ahead. He thought the contract made was just for one summer, but it has run into three. Kind of lapsed, like. In future his oil contracts will have a time-limit attached to them. Really the city could only hold him to a car of 150-barrels. Therefore the excess will be taken at 92c, instead of 82, while actually it is quoted at 102 in Los Angeles, besides the freight here. But Mr. Lapp is of cheerful disposition, and was willing to split the difference, the solons fell in line, and Lapp inquired the distance back to the city by auto at night and withdrew. He said he would send the city could only hold him to a car of 150-barrels. Therefore the excess will be taken at 92c, instead of 82, while actually it is quoted at 102 in Los Angeles, besides the freight here. But Mr. Lapp is of cheerful disposition, and was willing to split the difference, the solons fell in line, and Lapp inquired the distance back to the city by auto at night and withdrew. He said he would send the twofors. Charles Lange, the West End grocer, appeared and addressed the board protesting vehemently anent his recent arrest, conviction and fine for violation of the ordinance relating to outside peddlers. Lange opined the ordinance was faulty, that, technically, he was an "insider" not an "outsider," because he spends his money here, "as Loara is so desolate," and moreover his deals in the city were more in the nature of "swaps" with friends and neighbors. He said the ordinance was being violated "thousands of times" right along and no arrests made. For all of which he concluded the council should grant him a "reprieve" and let him pursue the even tenor of his ways unmolested. To the next meeting. Deeds from property owners giving deeds for opening up the extension of Oak street were received. Two owners, however—H. Kroeger and Mrs. Hussmann—have not yet deeds. Referred to Trustee giver, who will interview the informed parties with a view of seing the deeds. Kroeger about six months ago said a petition asking for opening a street. Communication was received from H. Bennerscheidt, offering $175 for three tanks and frames at plant. Filed. Communication received from Mullinix, containing bill for $68 for repair of cesspool for the now from the new drinking min, the same to be constructed by that gentleman and the The bill was ordered paid, the paying its pro rata.

Attempted Burglary At 10 o'clock on Thursday evening the burglar alarm at the GerAmerican bank sounded an which brought hundreds to sense of the attempted burglary instant.

The burglar alarm at the front door continued unceasingly. Locking the door and entering interior, he went to the vault, giving the outer door and released electric current which silenced arm.

Her mines and her commerce and her climate and agriculture have long been the theme of inspiring pen-pictures. With a range of climate and soil and of mountain and valley more varied than that possessed by any of her sister states, with a geographical position and commercial facilities naturally favorable to intensive development, she has ranked as the leader in the upbuilding of western America. But while her gold and her seaports and her forests and commerce have made her position unique among the states, her future has always been considered bound up in her agriculture. Over half a century of development has shown that if this agricuture is to be the best of which the state is capable, it must be founded on irrigation, and for years the careful husbandman has, over a large portion of the state at least, made the artificial application of water to land an important part of his industry. Hence it is that any treatment of irrigation in California must consider not only what has been accomplished, but what seems possible of accomplishment in the future. The total land area of California is approximately one hundred mill- to the bank, a quarter of a adistant. He found the front locked.

Epworth Convention large portion of the state at least, made the artificial application of water to land an important part of his industry. Hence it is that any treatment of irrigation in California must consider not only what has been accomplished, but what seems possible of accomplishment in the future. The total land area of California is approximately one hundred million acres. According to conservative estimates, based on the irrigation census of 1902, two million of those acres are being watered at this time. This statement, however, does not convey a true idea of the relative importance of irrigation to agricurulture in California. Professors Hilgard and Loughridge of the university of California estimate that only fourteen million acres, or about one-seventh of the total area, is valley agricultural land, so that the two million acres irrigated comprise one-seventh of the irrigable land of the state. This estimate does not include the tillable upper mesas and mountain valleys, both of which contain large areas of irrigable land. Yet this is not the whole truth. In 1902 one-quarter of all the irrigated land in the United States was in California, and this state ranked first in the total number of irrigated farms and in the total construction cost of systems. The highest priced irrigated land in America is found in California, and in no other state has water for irrigation reached so high a value, or been as carefully and as economically used. And in no other state is there so great an area of fertile farming land for which the available supply is so large. Irrigation development, like any other, has followed the lines of most evident financial returns. So it is that the localities of least annual and summer rainfall were the first to be reclaimed by the artificial use of water. The tide of irrigation, however, has been moving steadily northward and westward in the growth of all crops. The city of water can now utilized in irrigation, not be fully controlled statement of it shows ous potentialities of irrigated agriculture.

Irrigation development, like any other, has followed the lines of most evident financial returns. So it is that the localities of least annual and summer rainfall were the first to be reclaimed by the artificial use of water. The tide of irrigation, however, has been moving steadily northward, and, excepting in the mountainous sections and the sections of excessive rainfall, the necessity for irrigation, or at least the value of it where it is not a complete necessity, is almost universally recognized. While heretofore, then, irrigation has followed the line of most evident return, in future it will follow the available water supply. The water supply of the state is in its streams and wells. The wells now dug and in use are chiefly in Southern California and in the lower San Joaquin and the Santa Clara valleys. Only the larger streams of the state have been measured, and without reliable data it is impossible to estimate the flow in the hundreds of smaller streams. Leaving out of consideration the water supply available in the creeks and smaller rivers, 45,000,000 acre-feet of water is sufficient to cover the 14,000,000 acres of agricultural land in California to a depth of over 38 inches, which is ample for the this census, 1,708,720 acres gated in 1902, which w of 18.2 per cent over th ed in 1899.

This vast quantity of water can never be entirely used in irrigation, because it cannot be fully controlled, but the element of it shows the tremendous potentialities of California irrigated agriculture. What California is now accomplishing by irrigation can partly be by using as a basis the irriga-census of 1902. According to the census, 1,708,720 acres were irri-ced in 1902, which was an increase of 8.2 per cent over the area irrigat-ion in 1899. From 1902 to 1908 the ease has been more rapid. Using figures that were true up to 1902 on basis, the total cost of the irri-ron systems has been over $27,-000, or over $13.50 per acre. If the 300,000 acres in vines and irrigate two acres where it irrigated only one acre before. The total area irrigated in Southera California, from streams in 1902 was 57,482 acres, and probably 150,000 of the 182,211 acres irrigated from wells and springs are south of the Tehachapi, making a total for Southern California of 207,000 acres, or 9.7 per cent of the 2,000,000 acres watered in the entire state. This does not include the irrigation from Colorado River, which was about 130,000 acres in 1906, but which is increasing rapidly. North of the Tehachapi, the largest area irrigated was from the San Joaquin valley streams, principally San Joaquin, Kings and Kern rivers. Here a total of 908,182 acres received water, which was 53 per cent of the total irrigated area. Outside of Southern California, the census, 1,708,720 acres were irrigated in 1902, which was an increase of 8.2 per cent over the area irrigated in 1899. From 1902 to 1908 the decrease has been more rapid. Using figures that were true up to 1902 on basis, the total cost of the irrigation systems has been over $27,000, or over $13.50 per acre. Of the 300,000 acres in vines and equal area in orchards, the annual gross returns to the growers would not vary far from $150 per acre, or $90,000,000 in all. Then, in addition, there is alfalfa, vegetables, all fruits and other crops, the latter part of which are irrigated. The gross returns from these would increase the annual value to the extent of $45,000,000. It has already been stated that irrigation was first resorted to in California in those sections where a suit from irrigation was first most recent. These sections have, of course, been where the rainfall is at. In that portion of the state north of Tehachapi, commonly known as Southern California, the development of irrigation was rapid, continuing with bounds until the water supply available in the streams practically exhausted. Since in the irrigated area has been exiled only by resort to pumping wells and by endeavoring to raise the water already diverted include the irrigation from Colorado River, which was about 130,000 acres in 1906, but which is increasing rapidly. North of the Tehachapi, the largest area irrigated was from the San Joaquin valley streams, principally San Joaquin, Kings and Kern rivers. Here a total of 908,182 acres received water, which was 53 per cent of the total irrigated area. Outside of Southern California, the principal areas irrigated from wells and springs were located in the lower San Joaquin and in Santa Clara valleys.—By Samuel Fortier. How's This?
