Repairs in the Santa Ana Ditch.

Last Saturday in company with Mr.
w. H. Spurgeen, Judge Eagan of San
Juan and Mr.. MEG II we took pleasant
trip to the head OF the great Santa Ana
ditch up to Santa Ana River. We found
work pushing along lively by Messrs.
Dawson and Newkirk who have the con.
trect for digging the new ditch up there.
About thirty men were shoveliug. The
ditch over the mesa will be over fourteen
feet deep and ten feet wide at the bottom
when finished, and we should Judge
nearly half mile long before it crosses
the mesa. The irrigation company are
putting in splendid cement bottom with
connected sides to it to avoid the wash
by the heavy volume of water. There
will be a mile or two of il cemented. The
entire ditch is in splendid condition and
will be splendid work OF enterprise
when finished, and though. costly will be
permanent. 1t will be ready to receive
the water in few weeks. On the oppo-
site side of the river were legion of
men at work on the Cajon ditch repair
ing it. The river has an abundance of
water in it aud certainly there will be no
lack of water this season. - Santa Ana

attempted to make some cocoanut pud-

cocoanuts and boiled them for three
hours. At the end of that time the
