How One Man Got the Best Of the Rail-
road.

1t is not often that big corporation
like the Southern Pacific Railroad
proves incompetent in contest against
penniless, single handed man, and we
record the following to note the cxcep-
ton: The Southern Pacific engineer
while securing the country for water on
the desert about twenty-four miles from
the Colorado river, saw few tufts of
grass in little valley. He put work
men to digging in the ground and de-
veloped about four inches of clear run
ming water, furnishing beautiful sup
ply for all purposes. AS the work pro-
sressed they abandoned the spring tenn
p0rarlally. A prospector came along
and stopped at the spring to drink Of
the pure liquid. Perhaps the intensity
of his thirst induced him to gaze longer
into its pure depths. Perhaps, in his
fevered vision, after long struggle
over dreary mountains and dusty dos
erts, he saw mirrored in the water q
sparkling mine Of silver. At any rate,
he tested the sand that drifted about
and got = trace of silver. This little
trace of silver resolved into 300 ton.
Here. then, was the realization of his
hopes. and he went right to work to rob
the big corporation. He located the
spring for mill site and the ground as
mineral land all of which is right and
holds in law. He notified the company
to quit using his water, and they have
complied obcdiently San Bernardino,

A Tvpical Mexican Family.

You can generally find the Mexican
''peon'' family gathered around the door

husband and wife, seven or eight child

orally preferring the rich brown tint
which nature gave them for dress and
parade-two or three dogs, a goat or SO,
several pigs, cat and some chickens.
On passing the habitations you will OBJ
serve its ''Lord-mayor'' seated upon his
launches pulling on cigarette and
wondering what it all means. He is
sure to bow politely to you, and if not
too tired with the days work he will
get up and throw volley of stones al
his dogs, which are sure to come yelp.

seated at the side of the house, busy
pounding up lot of well-soaked corn,
until it has been transformed into mass
of dough suitable for their bread. She
generally has time enough at her dis.
posal to suspend operations and gaze al
the passing coach. The children are
scattered all around, some on top of the
house, some on the ground in front,
others, frightened, hide themselves, or
like the pigs and goats, are struggling
for entrance to their common home witt
their four-legged companions, eager tt

The country IS prosperous, and an
observing writer says: One Of the best
evidences of prosperity is the large
number Of marriages. There are thou.
sands more who should seize the golden
opportunity aud begin to live. When
man passes the thirtieth mile post and
has loved no good woman, he has lost
his best chances of life for happiness,
and the sooner he calls halt and
thinks it over the better. Il is all nom
sense for strong, healthy man to say
he cannot keep wife.
