IRRIGATION IN PLACER COUNTY.
A Meeting Held at Loomis and Good
Start Made.

On Saturday evening last at Loomis,
Placer county, most important enterprise
as affecting the future of Placer county was
inaugurated by a meeting of representative
landowners of that locality, taking practi-
cal action to bring large unfailing supply
of water from the mountains to irrigate the
fruitful foothill lands of lower Placer
county. For month past the water sup
ply for irrigation has been very short, and
large amount of damage has been done to
the fruit crops. A committee of investiga-
ton sent up by the irrigators to the mount
aims to examine the sources of water sup
ply, had reported poor outlook for the
future as to water supply if dependent
alone on the present system. The serious
ness of the situation led to an agitation OF
the water supply question, which finally
resulted in proposition from the Sierra
Water Company, controlling water rights
on the North Fork of the American river,
near Towle's, to the water consumers and
land. owners Of Placer county TO subscribe
to The capital stock of the company and
thus raise the necessary funds for con-
struction.
At the meeting referred to IS 600 was
subscribed by the small number present
toward the first 100000 subscription re-
quired before commencing active opera
tons. 1t is intended that water shall be
delivered by the first of August, 1890; the
estimated cost of the system being $3.50 900.
The company have an unfailing supply of
running water, and propose to bring 6 600
miners inches to Auburn for distribution
from that point, over the $4,000 acres of
land thst can be irrigated from it.
The present Bear river system is depend
ent for water supply in summer ON other
discbes that cannot be depended on to sup
ply it, and its capacity is so small that the
limit of cultivated area that can be irrigated
from it has been passed.
This large supply of water insures large
increase in the fruit growing area and a
great appreciation in land value, encourag-
ing investment and utilization. The water
will be clear and pure and suitable for do
mestic use. and il is claimed finally there
will be developed over 5000 horse power,
adjacent 10 the line of the railroad, that
can be utilized for manufacturing indus
tries to even better advantage and profit
than the water power at Folsom. Sacra-
mento's interest in the success of this enter
prise is ou1y second to that of Placer
county. The enormous impetus that the
development Of Placer county resources
will take cannot fail to favorably influence
the trade of Sacramento. The many Sac
ramen'o people who have so largely in.
vested in Placer county lands during the
last few years are interested in seeing that
this enterprise, which will make it possible
to utilize their properties, receives sub.
stantial financial encouragement.

The yigilantes, Ecu.

IL would have been most appro2,ia' @

ing of Judge Terry, the bell on the Tfuckee
Lumber Company's engine house could
have been rung-rung with wild exulta-
ton, prcclaiming The death of the man
many years ago il had summoned the pso-
pie with It's wild clamor TO pursue and kill.
For il was this same bell that was used by
the Vigilantes OF San Francisco during
those memorable years Of local strife to
summon the members to their meetings
aud 10 notify them when their presence
was needed in some great exigepcy of the
moment. When Terry stuck the knife
into Hopkins. which nearly ended his life,
it was this bsli that gave the alarm aud
called forth hepeople, who pursued him
into his place of refuge. 1t had tolled the
death knell of many desperate who died
at the hands of the Vieiiantes, and for days
it hung ready and waiting TO toll the death
knell OF Terry. IL has been waiting for 8
quarter OF century to perform that duty,
and now that Terry has been killed and
retribution has ovfriaken him, it was q
sad oversight that the old bell was not per-

Two years ago we were called upon to
record the deyastations of food in China
from an overflow of the Hoang-Ho, or yell
low river. The news is that the tickle
but mighty stream, flowing in all its lower
courses between artificial banks, has again
burst its bounds and inundated nine dis
tricts that have an aggregate population of
nearly 100000 of people. 1t does not as
vet appear that the flood is as disastrous
as the one Immediately preceding it, but
great many lives have been lost and an
immense amount of property destroyed. In
the food of 1887 the loss from the over
flow of the river aggregated more than
100000 lives; 100 towns were swept
away in the Chung-nou district, and 300
more were inundated, while in the Kali
feng-fu district 1900 villages were SUBJ
merged. In the valley of the Huai-ho
many walled cities were broken up, and
100000 people were rendered homeless
and destitute. In the succeeding spring,
after the Government had expended nearly
100000 in closing the breaches, the
people of Honan wishing the river to flow
in the new channel it had formed, made a
breach in the entertainments and second
food occurred, 5000 workmen on the en-
bankments being swept away, and ten
large cities inundated. The Government
was put to an additional expense of S10,-
100000 to return the river to It's bounds,
and even then the work was of an indiffer-
ent character, SO it is not at all surprising
that the river is again running freely over
thickly populated districts. The break in
the embankment in 1887 occurred in Ho-
nan, the district Immediately west of
Shang-tung which borders on the sea coast.
The crevasse in this instance is in the
Shang-tung district and about midway be-
tween the great Yam canal and the old
course of the Hoang-Ho when it emptied
into the Yellow sea instead of into the
gulf of Pe-chi-G, as now. In the flood of
1887 the waters flowed southwark and en-
tered the grand canal referred to-and
which extends from the Yellow river to
the Yangtse-Kiang- the Hongtse
lakes, and by that route reached the
apgtse-Kiang river and the sea. 1t is
not improbable that when full news is re-
ceived We will learn that the river has
again taken this southerly course, proving
anew what the American engineers have
repeatedly told the Chinese Government,
that the river should be allowed to resume
its ancient course south of the Shaug-tung
promontory, and to again empty into tt e
Yellow sea.

awnings and the move is going with
rush. Admit that they are not required
on the south side of streets, but how about
the north side. Both summer and winter,
from sunrise to sunset, all summer long we
need not only the awning, but the drop
curtains besides. and in winter, with our
rains and southeast gales, we need the
wood awnings for protection. To build the
new awnings of sheet-Iron, covering only a
part of the sidewalk. will give but little
shelter. Metallic awnings will certainly
attract the heat, and pedestrians will surely
avoid the north side summer and winter.
Landlords and tenants will then suffer
alike. If all awnings were uniform and
regular then the appearance of our city
might be improved. RICHARD DALE.

EXPERIMENTS are not yet sufficiently
numerous, nor have they been carried far
enough, to justify positive Judgment as to
the effects of sthe Brown-Sequard elixir.
But it is simple justice to say that the
trials made to date preponderate in favor
of the elixir as stimulant, and, at least, a
temporary assistant to failing physical
power. There has been developed moth
ing, however, to justify the claim origin
ally made-that the medicine, or whatever
the new agent may be termed, renews
youth, or resupplies wasted tissue and fiber.
There certainly are some strong evidences
that the elixir has given new strength,
and has enabled sinking patients to rally
and take hold anew upon vitality. Three
cases in San Francisco are in proof of posi-
tive benefits received, that of L. II. Rey-
nolds being the most pronounced. OF the
thirty-nine cases in Cleveland, the COM
plants were rheumatism, partial paralysis,
nervous prostration, melancholia, dyspep-
STA of long standing and extreme debility.
In all these cases there has been unques-
toned improvement of an apparently per-
manent character On the other hand, in
some cases here end there treated in this
country, positive injury has resulted from
the hypodermic injections, and death is
charged as the direct result in at least
three instances, but this may have been
due to want of skill in the preparation of
the elixir. That the imagination has a
great deal to do with some of the cases of
reported benefits is not to be denied, but
there are statements made precluding the
possibility of the Imagination efiecting
such results as have been achieved-as.
for instance, that of the telegrapher in
Cleveland, who has been so grievously af-
fected with telegrapher's paralysis that he
has not been able for many months to even
hold pen, or touch telegraphic key.
He was treated with the elixir, and in
twenty-four hours was able to fairly well,
and without great effort, dispatch mes
sage. But we repeat, that while the new
treatment is proving TO be stimulant,
there has not been made single record to
to justify any of the original claims made
for the discovery" and which remain alb
surd.
