The Concert given by the Belle Cole
ConcerS Co. Saturday evening was ex-
ceptionably fine and meritorious. The
members are all artists of the highest
order, and the most exacting critic
could only speak in commentator of
their rendering of the entire and va
ried program, Every number was
encored, and they generously respond
ed, thereby giving the audience
oubleamount of Entertainment. Mrs.
Belle Cole has rich contralto voice
of great compass, that will not suffer
in comparison with that of the renown-
ed Carey. Miss Edna Gray's clear
and faultless soprano at once captiva-
ted the audience. Both of these ladies
sing with precision and culture that
is rarely possessed. Mr.. James Blam-
harpist in the solo, "Alvar's Study"
and at it's conclusion he was twice
called back, each time favoring his
admirers with further exhibitions of
musical circles, he might well be call
ed king of harpists. The audience,
though not large, was appreciative,
and should this Company appear here
again, they would most assuredly be
greeted with what they deserve-a
full house-as it was the universal ex-
preston that it was the finest Concert
Co. that has ever visited our city.
The Wilcox Family Annual r.
union was held at the Deerfield Fair
Grounds the first Thursday in June.
The weather was delightful and the
Family was well represented. In the
Orderings of Gods providence not a
single member of the family had died
during the past year.
A superior and bountiful dinner was
spread and highly enjoyed, and the
social time that followed was all that
could be desired. "There was feast
of reason and flow of SOUL"
Rev. Linus Rogers called the meet
ing to order and A. d. Booth was ap-
pointed Chairman for the day.
Next year the family desires to meet
at the same place and time, if the
Fair Grounds can again be obtained,
and on that occasion friends and
neighbors are also cordially invit ed to
meet with them.

II appears that the right of way fol
the Southern Pacific Coast railroad from
the Camulos Rancho to San Buenaven.
tura is beset with difficulties that will
compel the road to make q junction at
San Fernando instead OF Newhall. The
agent of Mr. La Motto informs the Free
Press that he is meeting with great OPP
position in securing a right OF way. He
says: From the Sespe Rancho line
down there is probability that the
company will have to commence forty
two condemnation suits. surely, this
is not as il should be. Mr.. La Motto
says that he does not expect a right Of
way for nothing, but he will not pay an
exorbitant price. He also says that he
is very much pleased with the treatment
which the people of our town are in
elined to accord him, but is by no
means certain that the road will come
from Newhall. Farmers and land own.
ers there should remember that too much
opposition will possibly drive the COM
pany to the SINH route"
BY the way of San Fernando and the
Simi Rancho the right of way is donat-
ed which probably secures the junction
at San Fernando.
Three hundred men are at work on
the s. z. h. h. withihin sight of San
Fernando, with camp equippage and all
things necessary to commence building
the new railroad over the ranches of G.
X. and B. f. Porter and the great
rancho of Lankersheim & Company and
the SINH rancho from San Fernando to
San Buenaventura at tick OF the wires
from San Francisco.
Everything is ready at this end of the
line for active operations. At the other
end the road is moving towards Los An
geles at the rate of mile day. When
both ends are occupied with builders
there will be 1000 men at work and the
great popular coast railway be speedily
made.

We learn that the projectors of the
Hemet Valley reservoir have secured a
loan of $500. 900 at four per cent interest
and Thursday week commenced survey
ing the route Of the pipe line. The iron
for the pipe is expected to be here soon
and will be put together on the ground.
The company is now engaged in excavat-
ing ditch for the pipe line and building
reservoir in the mountains. The water
will be brought down the bed of the
creek, which is adapted for that pur-
pose, and at the mouth Of the canon
will be picked up by the pipe line. An
other reservoir or other reservoirs will
be built on the small mountain near the

ing 10000 acres. 1t is stated that
the water will be sent out from these
receiving reservoirs with sufficient
power to run any manufacturing
business and furnish the motor for the
electrical works which are to furnish the
lighting source OF the new town site to
be laid off by Messrs. Estudillo and
Hewitt. This town site will contain six
hundred building lots and will be put mp
for sale in thirty days. After the water
is used for manufacturing purposes II
will be turned back into ditch and
used for irrigating the mesa lands and
for fish ponds. Within few days Mr..
Hewitt will begin 10 have his portion of
town lots surveyed. Mr.. Hewitt is also
contemplating building q brick sta
BILE opposite the Palma Hotel,
the front of which will be
used as carriage repository.
This building will be 32xl00 feet and
will have a stockyard, containing four
acres, connected with it in the rear. A
line Of pipe will carry water across from
the Palma Hotel to the stockyard and
stable. Mr.. Hewitt has just completed
large pond in the rear Of the Palma
Hotel, which he proposes to stock with
fish. This pond is supplied by the sur

Making the Desert BIossom az

the Hose.
Mr., q. w. Durbrow and Mr.. G. N.
Shaw with their wonled energy and
foresight have secured $500 acres Of
land in the very sink Of the Colorado
desert and adjacent to the station at
Indio. There is series of sand-dunes
near the town and the wind blows
through gap in these, crosses the head
of little valley diOgonally, strikes the
hills opposite and then skirts along that
range. This leaves a strip OF some 10
miles long reaching down the little val
lev from Indio and Walters and some
four miles wide which is not subject to
the overflow OF the sands of the desert.
This region is a fine sand and loan,
where vines, pepper and eucalyptus trees
grow to perfection. The Museat grape
ripens there as early as the first Of June.
These enterprising gentlemen propose
to sink artesian wells to irrigate
this tract and plant it to vines.
The s. p. Co. has q well at Indio
which is about 100 feet deep in which
the water rises to within four feet of the
surface. A section of the strata passed
in boring this well shows as follows:
Eighteen feet Of loan, twenty-five
feet Of auckland, fifty.nine feet of clay
to a stratum of water-be airing gravel.
1t is a great venture, such as only
men of enterprise would dare to touch,
and it is to be hoped that such daring
energy may be rewarded with the rich
est possible results.

The new tice-Fresioent.
The University Of Southern California
has selected new Vice. President in the
person Of DIR. Edward Thomson, d. D..
Ill. D., of York, York county, Nebras-
ka, who is well known as an eminent
educator in the Northwest. DIR. Thorn
son was President of the Nebraska Col
lege for seven year,, and will take the
chair Of Theology in the University in
Los Angeles, made vacant by the resig-
nation of Rev. F. d. Bovard, A. NJ. OF
his addition to the educational forces Of
the city the York Times says:
DIR. Thomson has great many admir-
ing friends in York and throughout the
State who regret exceedingly his depart
ure from our College and State. and yet
his successful career here, and the broad
or field and more responsible and honor
able position to which he has been called
are sources Of qualification to oil who feel
a respectful and kindly interest In him.
1t is we'll known that the trustees Of the
College here would have reelected him
Win uOb IDOfb thhn Ont uiSsentiHB NOict
for term Of three years. This fact is
shown by the record. To show the high
estimation in which he is held by the
Board, the degree OF LII. d. was con-
ferred upon him, the highest degree ever
conferred by an American college, and
the Board unanimously passed the fol.
lowing resolution:
1--WE highly appreciate the services
rendered by DR.. Thomson and his esti.
mable wife during their connection with
this institution and regret deeply their
departure from us. We will ever re-
member the faithful devotion and self
sacrificing spirit in which they have
worked for the good of the institution
from its beginning. We recognize the
fact that the success attending the col
lege has been largely due to the wise
counsels and untiring efforts Of Dr.
Thomson"
No higher endorsement could be given
at the close of an engagement of nearly
seven years. He took charge of the in
stitution in its incipiency, when there
was nothing Of it-no building, no stu
dents and no money, and the compli-
mentary action of the board of trustees
shows how well he has discharged the
arduous duties of the position.
