sufficient strength to bear the pressure
suitable to a residence section
of the city. The irrigation system
has been at best a tax on the city's
finances. At the best Of times it net

use OF the water for domestic purposes
will be far different proposition in
that respect. Should citizens be taxed
no more than 81 per month for each
family, there will be net gain under
this new regime. The matter comes
up to-day before the finance com

Our Water System.

Mr.. Lambie, City Engineer, has
made most sensible recommends
ton to the Council in reference
to the water system. Years ago,
when large areas OF the municipality
we're devoted to horticulture, an Or
dinance very proper for the period
was passed, locking to putting in a
complete system Of cement pipe to
convey water to these districts lor ir-
rigation purposes. A contract was
entered into in order to carry this law
into effect, and since then good
deal of work has been done
in the premises. In the mean.
time TIE change already 60
ing on increased at an ever.
accelerating ratio. The population
grew beyond all precedent and the
cry for more residence lots went up
loud and strong. The vineyards by
the acre went down before the sur
veyor's gangs and the orange trees
followed in the wake of the vines
The horticultural portions of the
pueblo have become thickly settled.
There is no longer a demand for
water for irrigation, but there is
a great cry for this necessary
adjunct of domestic life. Now the
cement pipe will not do to carry
water for domestic uses. 1t will not
bear the pressure. Mr.. Lambie now
recommends that a change be made
in the programme SO as to make the
water system conform to the exigen-
cies of the new era. He would re-
place the cement pipes by iron oi

While on this subject, we might
as we'll pay our respects to the
Munchausenisms of one j. G. Nixon,
who has recently returned to st.
Helena from Pasadena. This migrate
who came down here to tide over the
winter, and who had steady employ
ment at his trade at the rate OF five
dollars a day, pours out his graft
tude in the St. Helena Star in the
sl.ape of denunciations OF our
section-of its climate, its pros
poets and it's cost OF living
and then falls into rhapsody
of praise over his end Of Napa Valley
which he designates as Goods coun'
try" He complains that ice had
formed here on several occasions, and
that snow covered the mountains
down to the edge of the valleys.
He might have written this
sort of rot with the thermometer at
IS degrees, the point it reached in his
Goods country" This fellow is dis
satisfied with everything he saw
here at compensation Of five dol
lars per day, and assumes the
role of prophet by predicting that
our ephemeral prosperity will result in
a crash ere long. OF course he knows
it all. Words cost him nothing. While
Prophet Nixon was turning his bile
into printers ink, the people here
were showing their faith in the per-
NANCY of the prosperity of the county
in way that speaks louder than
words. During the very month which
vomited our splenetic friend back into
st. Helena the recorded sales OF
property here footed up over six
and a half millions. OF course
the men who thus backed their
faith in Los Angeles are fools, and
Nixon knows it all. 1t seems that
our disgruntled friend had to put up
with 1Ox1O room while he was get
ting his five doll day here, and
to pay the enormous sum OF SIG a
month for it. Well, he may console
himself where he is; for he can doubt
less get ampler quarters in st. Helena
for the same money, and much less
money to pay it with. Whilst we
regret to lose Nixon we shall not hold

taken him away from US. We shall
try to survive the calamity.

WITHOUT FOOD TWO MONTHS

Mr.. James T. Echols, of Oregon district,
in this county, in December last missed two
four months shoats. He hunted every
where in the neighborhood and failed to
find them. A few days ago, his children
came to the house badly frightened and
said that there was some live animal in a
large hollow log near the house. Mr.. Echols
went out to the log and to his establishment
found fastened in the log both of his hogs,
one was dead and the other living ske!e.
ton. He got the swine from its imprison-
ment and it was so weak that it couldn't
stand up. Food was given it and it ate
ravenously. 1t is now doing well, fattenug
and gaining strength rapidly, and promises
to make fine hog. Two months without
food or water and still living beats Tanner
record.
