Col James Thompson, whom everybody
knows, gives the startling information that
his son "jeG" will get back some time this
week, from years residence Mt the Mnrto
rancho, over ON the north side Of the noun
tains and west Of Germans Station. The
cattle have been increasing ever since Don
Santiago stocked the rancho, about three
years ago. II Is frequently Impossible to
get there, but Mr.. Thompson went out nj the
time Of branding calves, and found JEFF
strong and bronzed, so that he had to look
twice Mt him to recognize his only sou. Now
the question Is who, except his Intimate
friends, will know him when he returns
after year Of hard and healthy mountain
life. This Is the latest time Of the year be
fore snowfall when he can return. A re.
sponslble manager has been left to look after
the Majors Domo. Probably both father and
son Will return together to the rancho for
the formal calf branding. But Los Angeles
will have about six months of the granger :
presence before the snow will permit him to

The Isig Azusn Ditch.

Mr. Walter DE Buxton is again in town
from his rancho at the Azusa, on the old
Dalton place. lie states that only about
three months ago, measures were taken to
materially enlarge the big ditch which sup
plies that prosperous settlement, The old
ditch irrigated six thousand acres of land
but the present one now completed covers
1900 acres OF land, or double the former
average. The new ditch is very high on the
south side Of the high hills, and has about
half mile of tiume. Chino Phillips assisted
with money according to his acreage on the
Rancho La Puente. To construct this new aud
substantial ditch, which will not only water
Azusa, but his property also. Considering
the expense and the short time In which Ii
was completed, II was n remarkable work
and will give ample water tn settlers who
formerly had trouble on account of the
Inadequate supply.

There is a frisky cat that belongs to the
proprietor of II wholesale liquor establish
meut In the city. The cat frequently sleeps
back of the bottles on the shelves, and, al.
though agile, frequently causes damage by
breaking them in jumping down This has
occurred for long time. but, as IL Il WAS not
enough, discovery was made on Mondiy
OF the present week that will probably rele.
gate the cat somewhere else. During the day
one of the employees of the establishment
heard II peculiar dripping, aud finally going
to see what II was, found that nearly three
gallons Of n barrel OF blackberry brandy had
covered the floor, and the turning of the
lancet was TT iced to the puss, who was al
ready inebriated with drinking the liquor
Hereafter the cat will be confined where II
cannot commit such depredations.

There once iiourished an ancient philoso
ply which located the seat of the intellect
In the stomach. The modern japanese take
the same view of the matter, Modern phys
iology shows that the clearness of the brain
depends upon good digestion. The object
of tea drinking Is, as every one knows, to
cheer and stimulate the brain.
Where. then, is the sense OF drinking al
infusion of leaves, colored with substances
which defeat the very object tea is taken ia
effect? No wonder the Japanese call the
consumers Of green or colored tea "barbari
ans" Consider this question, dear madam.

Recently owned by Don Juan Murrietta, con
tanning fourteen thousand acres of land
having an altitude of about one thousand
feet above the sea level. This tract of land
lies about a. miles southerly from Cotton
The California Southern Railroad runs
through the entire length of the tract The
soil in the valley Is formed OF sedimentary
gravel or boulders, and can be easily titled,
as no clay or adobe soil appears, but is full
of rich sediment, which holds the rainfall
and prevents leaking or drying, so that when
you come to cultivate you turn up moist
earth The superior value of this soil Is its
closely underlying supply. of water, and when
cultivated the moisture rises to the surface,
doing away with the necessity of irrigation
almost entirely, but In case Of a dry season,
If irrigation Is thought to be necessary an
