REPORT ON IRRIGATION Use of Water in the San Joaquin Valley The U. S. department of agriculture has been conducting a series of investigations into uses of water for irrigation in California, and this week favors us with a report upon irrigation in the San Joaquin valley. From its pages the following interesting data is taken: Approximately 15,000,000 acres of the 100,000,000 acres of land in California are fertile valley lands, and 7,368,000 acres, or about one-half of the entire area, are in the San Joaquin valley. The valley occupies a central position in the state, and has a length of 250 miles, from the Tehachapi Mountains on the south to Suisun Bay and Cosumnes River on the north, and an average width of about 40 miles, from the Sierras on the east to the Coast Range on the west. The drainage waters of this level-flooded depression, thus hedged in on three sides by mountain ranges, join those of the Sacramento Valley at Suisun Bay and pass through Golden Gate into the Pacific Ocean. The mission fathers cultivated the soil and practiced some crude irrigation along the coast as early as the latter part of the eighteenth century, but they did not enter the interior valleys, and the history of actual development of this area did not commence until about the middle of the nineteenth century. Probably the first party of white men to traverse the San Joaquin valley was a band of 40 trappers under the leadership of Jedediah Smith, who crossed the Sierra in 1825. They reported the arid plains of the valley as scantily provided with vegetation and roamed by and therefore tends toward a more intensive cultivation. Local markets also spring up more rapidly than is the case where farms are scattered. That all the colonies have not been successful is due to the abuse rather than to any fault of the method. There have been very few cases of failure, and all of those were due to poor land and unscrupulous promoters. It has been the height of folly to induce settlers from humid states and foreign countries, wholly unfamiliar with local conditions or with the form of agriculture necessary with irrigation, to buy poor lands, especially when there is an abundance of good land. Farmers well versed in irrigation practice and cropping and cultivating soils in the arid region might have succeeded where newcomers failed, but more fertile soil would have compensated for the lack of experience: Such failures have reflected on the surrounding country, and retarded the development of the good land. Recent attempts at such fradulent practice have been exposed by the honest promoters, and much good will result from honest colonization practice. Although oil has been produced in Kern county for over 20 years, it was not until after the discoveries in 1899 that extensive development began. Kern and Fresno counties, in the southern portion of the San Joaquin valley, are the chief producers. They are largely responsible for making oil the leading industry of the state and have added thereby greatly to its wealth. It has partially solved the fuel question for the railroads and power plants on the coast, and is the source of asphalt and road oils in addition to the lighter oils which are derived by distilling the crude produevies in the single phytomics embraced in topography; scattered areas possess verse character. The include regions of boiled with great aridity;ert country—with feeb habitations; others rich farming country; and populous; othersized and contributing nation's output of mega-great possibilities for water power; or swamps; and other by a multitude of high steam and electric lines. The most striking is perhaps the "California mapographic map," covering Michigan in the heart Superior copper-producing which last year coming to the figures of survey, 221,462,984 p.copper, valued at $28 map also shows a c.o.f swamp land, some least may be reclaimed.

Another contrast is map of the Taneytown surveyed in cooperation tion along the coast as early as the latter part of the eighteenth century, but they did not enter the interior valleys, and the history of actual development of this area did not commence until about the middle of the nineteenth century. Probably the first party of white men to traverse the San Joaquin valley was a band of 40 trappers under the leadership of Jedediah Smith, who crossed the Sierra in 1825. They reported the arid plains of the valley as scantily provided with vegetation and roamed by herds of elk, wild horses, and cattle. No part of the United States at that time was so densely populated with Indians as was this great central valley, but a violent epidemic in 1883 almost annihilated these tribes. They were of a very low type of civilization, living off nuts, fish and game, and providing only partial shelter for themselves. They did not even attempt to cultivate the soil, and it was a truly virgin soil, therefore, when the first white men came. Little advancement was made under Spanish and Mexican rule, and in 1841 there was only one house in the San Joaquin valley. Agriculture with its attendant labors did not appeal to the Spanish and Mexicans so long as the hides and tallow from the wild herds returned an easy living. The Mexicans, realizing that such conditions could not prevail long if the number of Americans increased in California, passed a law against the intrusion of the Americans, but this did not deter large companies of settlers from crossing the plains in 1841-42. Fremont's expedition and the Mexican War followed and resulted in the annexation of California to the United States. The great migration caused by the discovery of gold in 1848 and 1849 was largely responsible for the early development of all parts of the state. Towns sprang up, merchandising commenced, and agriculture gradually followed the coming of these adventurous prospectors and miners, who settled throughout the mountains and along the streams. The main characteristics of the climate of San Joaquin valley are warm, dry summers and moderate winters, during which the greater part of the rainfall occurs. The temperature increases and rainfall decreases from north to south. The mean monthly temperature and the normal monthly rainfall, as given by the United States weather bureau, have been averaged for 10 stations in the San Joaquin valley and the records of the several stations cover per- not until after the discoveries in 1899 that extensive development began. Kern and Fresno counties, in the southern portion of the San Joaquin valley, are the chief producers. They are largely responsible for making oil the leading industry of the state and have added thereby greatly to its wealth. It has partially solved the fuel question for the railroads and power plants on the coast, and is the source of asphalt and road oils in addition to the lighter oils which are derived by distilling the crude product. Pipe lines have been extended from the oil fields through the valley to San Francisco bay and across the mountains to the coast at Monterey. Tank cars, often in full trains, pass back and forth constantly, and there are many other evidences to remind one of the importance of the industry. TO BE PLACE OF REVELRY San Diego Making Ready to Show Visitors a Good Time SAN DIEGO, June 27.—San Diego is to be a blaze of light and a place of music and revelry during the celebration which is to surround the formal ceremonies of breaking ground for the Panama-California Exposition, July 19-22 next. There will be five bands at work day and night. The Musicians will be to the number of about three hundred. They will all take part in the different parades, be present at the sporting meets and at the various recreations which are to be a feature of the social program for the days in question. In addition to these musicians there will on different days be bands from various outside points brought here by the visiting organizations themselves. Special rates have been made by all railroad and steamship lines. With only about a month to run the work of completing the details of the ground breaking celebration of the exposition are being rapidly worked out by the committee. During the past week Dick Ferris resigned as manager and his place was taken by Jack Dodge one of the oldest and best knowntheatricalmen on the Pacific coast. He will be in full charge of the affair from this time. Contracts for decorating the city streets have all been let and the work of preparing for the host of visitors is being rushed. Thirty thousand people are expected to visit the celebration and a unique plan has been arranged to secure full comfort to all of them. No one will be without a shelter and there need be no fear of any of them being overcharged for Contrasted with that of the Meadows quadrangle including part of their forest, to the east of broad,fertile valley oak of Payette River, knownley a floor almost as wide from 5 to 7 miles river heads in Payette nishes water for large tracts of fine sand.

The temperature increases and rainfall decreases from north to south. The mean monthly temperature and the normal monthly rainfall, as given by the United States weather bureau, have been averaged for 10 stations in the San Joaquin valley and the records of the several stations cover periods of 21 to 39 years, and 60 years in the case of Stockton. The average annual rainfall at the 10 stations is 9.92 inches, but this does not give a fair average. One of the most prominent features in the development of the San Joaquin valley has been the colony system of settlement, and it seems probable that much of the future advancement and growth will be accomplished in a like manner. The original colonies, covering 1000 to 5000 acres each, with wide stretches of arid land between them, were scattered around a few towns, but further settlement has closed the gaps and welded the community around each town into one solid mass and rendered the colony boundaries imaginary. The customary method has been for the promoter to secure from 1 to 10 sections of land, subdivide them into 10 and 20 acre lots, construct irrigation ditches on the highest land so as to make them easily accessible to each lot, checkerboard the tract with roads each half mile, and sell the lots with perpetual water rights to homeseekers. There are many advantages in this colony system. The purchasers are given a long time in which to pay for the land, a uniform system of ditches is provided, and that great bug bear of the pioneer—lack of neighbors—is overcome. It also is the means of breaking up the large landholdings, best known theatrical men on the Pacific coast. He will be in full charge of the affair from this time. Contracts for decorating the city streets have all been let and the work of preparing for the host of visitors is being rushed. Thirty thousand people are expected to visit the celebration and a unique plan has been arranged to secure full comfort to all of them. No one will be without a shelter and there need be no fear of any of them being overcharged for anything. The pageants arranged for the days of the celebration are already attracting the greatest attention the country over. This is especially true of the Mission parade which will be the first church pageant ever given in this country. Contracts have been signed for about thirty shows to take part in the street carnival, the principal feature of which will be a big wild west show. There will be a number of free entertainments. Arrangements have been completed for a fireworks demonstration which will be on a scale never attempted on the coast. This entertainment will be in conjunction with the arrival of King Cabrillo, who opens the carnival feature of the four days entertainment. The different railroads of the state have been active in sending out advertising matter and have assured the committee that there will be a heavy travel southward. The rates of fered from all sections are cheaper than have been given in years and the life of the tickets unusually extended. The same is true of the steamship lines. SURVEYING PUBLIC LANDS Areas in All Parts of Country Are Being Mapped The broad and comprehensive work of the United States Geological Sur- ANAHEIM GAZETTE vey in the single phase of its activities embraced in topographic mapping is strikingly shown by the issuance, during a single week in June, of seven topographic maps covering widely scattered areas possessing equally diverse character. The areas surveyed include regions of bold relief combined with great aridity—practically desert country—with few if any human habitations; others comprising flat, rich farming country, thickly settled and populous; others highly mineralized and contributing largely to the nation's output of metals; others with great possibilities for the development of water power; others containing swamps; and others criss-crossed by a multitude of highways, roads and steam and electric transportation lines. The most striking of these maps is perhaps the "Calumet special" topographic map, covering an area in Michigan in the heart of the Lake Superior copper-producing region and which last year contributed, according to the figures of the geological survey, 221,462,984 pounds of refined copper, valued at $28,125,798. This map also shows a considerable area of swamp land, some of which at least may be reclaimed by drainage. Contrasted with this is the map of the Meadows quadrangle, in Idaho, including part of the Weiser national forest, to the east of which lies the broad, fertile valley of the North Fork of Payette River, known as Long valley, a floor almost as flat as a board and from 5 to 7 miles wide. This river heads in Payette Lake and furnishes water for the irrigation of large tracts of fine agricultural land. Another contrast is shown by the map of the Taneytown quadrangle, as surveyed in cooperation with the sta- was 334,378 acres, against 135,470 acres in 1899, an increase of 198,908 acres, or 146.8 per cent. During the same period the improved land in the farms increased but 83.3 per cent, showing that a considerably larger part of the improved area was irrigated in 1909. The total acreage which all enterprises were capable of supplying with water in 1910 amounted to 470,514 acres, an excess of 136,135 acres over the area irrigated in 1909. The total acreage reported in projects in 1910 was 817,032 acres, an excess of 482,654 acres over the area irrigated in 1909. This indicates in a general way the area which will be available for settlement within the next few years. The number of independent enterprises was 1933 in 1909 and 878 in year 1899, an increase of 1055, or 120 per cent. The total length of main ditches was 2558 miles in 1909 and 806 in 1899, an increase of 1752 miles. In 1909 there were 156 reservoirs having a capacity of 121,543 acre-feet. The total cost of irrigation systems to July 1, 1910, was reported as $15.014,090, as against $1,722,369 in 1899, an increase of $13,291,721, or 771.7 per cent. The average cost of irrigation systems per acre irrigated in 1910 was $31.91, as compared with a cost of $12.56 in 1899, an increase of $19.35. or 154.1 per cent. The average annual cost per acre for maintenance and operation in 1909 was $3.08. JURORS WILL BE PAID New Law Passed by Last Legislature Gives Them Per Diem and Mileage On and after Monday, June 26, jurors will be required to furnish security to said board for the performance of his contract in an amount of twenty-five Contrasted with this is the map of the Meadows quadrangle, in Idaho, including part of the Weiser national forest, to the east of which lies the broad fertile valley of the North Fork of Payette River, known as Long valley, a floor almost as flat as a board and from 5 to 7 miles wide. This river heads in Payette Lake and furnishes water for the irrigation of large tracts of fine agricultural land. Another contrast is shown by the map of the Taneytown quadrangle, as surveyed in cooperation with the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland. This quadrangle is traversed in its northern portion by Mason and Dixon's line and is one of the old settled portions of southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. It includes many points of historic interest; it was probably fought over, foot by foot, first between the red men and the earliest pioneers and later between the white factions. Another map of interest is that of the Hennepin quadrangle; surveyed in cooperation with the state of Illinois. This map shows a portion of Illinois river and the town and county of Hennepin, named from the early Jesuit missionary Father Hennepin, who is stated to have recorded the operation of the first "colemine" in America in 1679, near what is now Ottawa, in La Salle county, Ill. This map also shows the location of the large zinc smelter plant at Dupue. The northern part of the quadrangle is rolling prairie land, traversed by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Ry. and well dotted on the map with farmsteads. The map of the Monticello quadrangle, mostly in Sullivan county, N.Y., surveyed in cooperation with that state, shows a country traversed by Neversink river, which has cut its course through a deep canyon. Down in Kentucky the federal topographers in cooperation with the state in 1909, surveyed the area included in the Dawson Springs quadrangle and the resulting map shows portions of Hopkins, Christian, Caldwell and Trigg counties. In the adjoining state of West Virginia the Peytona quadrangle has just been surveyed in cooperation with the state, and the map shows an area almost completely mountainous but diversified by swiftly running streams and creeks which empty into Coal river and Kanawha river and suggest many sites for water power. The area is one of innumerable ravines and gorges with torrential creek beds. It is in the very heart of the West Virginia coal field and is known to be JURORS WILL BE PAID New Law Passed by Last Legislature Gives Them Per Diem and Mileage On and after Monday, June 26, jurors in township courts in counties of the fourteenth class, which embraces Orange county, will receive pay for their services at the rate of two dollars a day in civil cases, and in criminal cases in justice and recorder's courts the rate will be $1.50 per day. Warrant for this new departure is found in an act passed by the last legislature and approved April 26th of the current year. The act is entitled "an act to amend section 4243 of the political code of the state of California, providing for the salaries and fees of jurors and public officers in counties of the fourteenth class," and the particular section referring to the compensation of jurors reads as follows: "Section 17. In counties of this class grand and trial jurors in superior courts shall receive for each day's attendance, per day the sum of two dollars. In justices' courts in civil cases jurors shall receive for each day's attendance per day the sum of one dollar and fifty cents. And all jurors shall receive for each mile actually and necessarily traveled from their residences to the place of service, in going only, the sum of fifteen cents per mile, such mileage to be allowed but once during any session of the court where such jurors serve; provided, that the fees of all trial jurors in civil cases shall be paid by the litigants as other costs are paid, and jurors in criminal cases in recorders' courts shall be paid by the municipality in which such court is or may be established."

Inside the back cover is a large folded map of the state arranged to show the products of each section. This book has a first edition of 25,000 copies and will doubtless be followed by a second edition, as the demand for it is ever increasing, due to the fact that it is reliable and is distributed to interested parties without charge. CORPORATION TAXES Coming to the Center, Same as Common People The Southern Pacific Company will In the adjoining state of West Virginia the Peytona quadrangle has just been surveyed in cooperation with the state, and the map shows an area almost completely mountainous but diversified by swiftly running streams and creeks which empty into Coal river and Kanawha river and suggest many sites for water power. The area is one of innumerable ravines and gorges with torrential creek beds. It is in the very heart of the West Virginia coal field and is known to be underlain by vast stores of coal. In all these maps every physical characteristic of the country is faithfully depicted—the hills, the slopes, the valleys, the streams, the flats, and the tablelands. Nor are the works of man neglected; every town and hamlet, even many farm houses, every railroad and highway, whether dirt or macadamized, every canal, dam, mine, quarry, or tunnel—all the work of man—are shown in their correct positions. These seven maps, while representing in the aggregate about 2200 square miles of territory, are but small units of the great topographic atlas map of the United States which the United States Geological Survey is printing as fast as the country is surveyed by the topographers. Already over 2000 of these topographic sheets have been issued by the Survey, covering more than one-third of the United States. IRRIGATION IN WASHINGTON The total number of farms irrigated in Washington in 1909, according to a bulletin of the census bureau just received, was 7405, against 3513 in 1899, an increase of 3892, or 110.8 per cent. This rate of increase is considerably higher than that in the whole number of farms in the state, showing that irrigation is advancing more rapidly than dry farming. The total acreage irrigated in 1909 courts shall be paid by the municipality in which such court is or may be established." CALIFORNIA'S RESOURCES Facts of Interest from Annual Report of Development Board "California Resources and Possibilities" is the title of an eighty-page book of unusual merit that has just come off the press. This book has been in the making for five months since the first of the year and is the 21st annual report of the California Development Board giving the growth and development of California by population, by manufactures, by agricultural industries, and by trade. The cover is in colors, the design being a relief map of California with a red arrow showing the "Exposition City 1915" and bears the legend in another space, "California Welcomes the World to the Exposition City." The inside cover is devoted to a formal invitation from the State of California to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915. The book is then prefaced by a statement of the past results and future undertakings of the California development board from the pen of the president of the board, Hon. Jas. N. Gillett. Then follows the official report of the vice-president and manager, Robert Newton Lynch, of the California development board. The real subject of the book "California Resources and Possibilities" is told in statistics and articles under the subheads. "Growth and Development of the State," being a resume of reports from the 13th census and is of a comparative nature. "Density and Distribution of Population" are given by natural sectional divisions, by counties and by cities. Second subheading "Financial Conditions in California" is given by counties and by cities; and "Trade" is tabulated. This book has a first edition of 25,000 copies and will doubtless be followed by a second edition, as the demand for it is ever increasing, due to the fact that it is reliable and is distributed to interested parties without charge. CORPORATION TAXES Coming to the Center, Same as Common People The Southern Pacific Company will pay this year into the state treasury for taxes $2,470,228.74, or more than 50 per cent of the total amount of railroad taxes. It is also interesting to note that the railroads operating in California pay nearly one-half of the state taxes. Excluding the general franchise corporations the railroads of the state will pay into the state treasury about 54 per cent. The following shows in round numbers the amounts the different classes of corporations will pay: Railroads, including street railways,$4,776,000. Gas, electric and power companies,$1,225,000. Telegraph and Telephone companies$425,000. Car companies,$89,000. Express companies,$102,000. Banks,$1,635,000. Insurance companies,$523,000. Franchises,$1,600,000. Total,$10,375,000. Although the Southern Pacific company pays more than half of the total railroad taxes of the state, the figures given out by the board of equalization do not include all of the taxes paid by the Southern Pacific company. The major part of the Southern Pacific mileage is in California, but a good many hundred miles are located in other states. According to the last annual report of the Southern Pacific its taxes were a little more than four and one-half million.
