The Anniversary of the Battle of Pueblo
Honored in This City.

TIC f1iHiNeiSaiy Vi tne DaCtle OF PUEBLO
Honored in This City.
At daybreak yesterday Mexican flags
were unfurled in various parts of the
city and especially in that quarter occu-
pied for the most part by Spanish-Amer-
leans, in honor of the anniversary of the
battle of Pueblo, the great victory of
Zaragoza over the French, which ush-
cred in the modern epoch of Mexican
independence. AT noon a salute of
twenty-one cannons was fired. The Gel
ebration was held at the Montezuma
block on Upper Main street. The large
hall on the ground floor was handsomely
decorated with flowers and flags, and ac-
commodated several thousand people.
At 8 O'Clock the members of the Span
ish American Society LA Junta Patri-
otica" assembled in this hall, and the
following programme was carried out:
Lecture on the official acts of General
Ignacio Zaragoza by j. Diaz Prieto,
honorary president of the society.
Hymn to Zaragoza by the orchestra
under the leadership of Professor /.
Mercado.
Recitation of a poem by Francisco de
NublCICL, plCSlutlll VI llit SOClCIN.
Speech in English by Francisco Do
minguez.
Speech by ]. j. Diaz.
Singing of the Mexican national
hymn.
Speech by Alberto Naranjo.
The latter part of the programme was
interspersed with music by the orches-
ira.
In the evening grand ball took place
at the hall, which was largely attended
and passed off successfully

THE Supervisors yesterday declined to
order change OF the roof of the new
Court House from wood and slate to
iron, at an expense of $40, 900. The pub
lie will quite generally concur in this
conclusion. Ii the woodwork, pursuant
to the suggestion of Mr.. Victor Ponet, is
thoroughly coated with fre-proof paint
there would seem to be very little danger
of combustion. The expense attending
the alteration is calculated to intim-
idate the average taxpayer.

A GAIN OF two Republican Senators in
Montana, secured by fraud, cannot post
pone the inevitable. An overwhelming
Democratic House of Representatives, to
be followed by Democratic President,
to be succeeded in turn by Democratic
United States Senate, will bring about
"time's revenges" on partizan injustice.

In THE matter of the First-street
grade and tunnel, action has been post
poned till next week. The Council yes

engineers to examine into the feasibility
of a more practicable grade, with esti-

if the requisite vote can be obtained to
pass the matter over the Mayors veto.

The newspaper man In his peregrina-
ton about town Is liable to pick up
pointers here and there which the reader
might hear and not note, but which II
followed up often lead to something Of
general interest, and so IL IL In this In
stance. Often times In mining talk, the
writer has heard reference made TO the
old zokes-eye mine, but when the speak
er was pressed for information regarding
Il he would invariably say: go TO Judge
Nelson, he knows all about H." So on
Tuesday the scribe cornered the old Judge,
and boned him on the subject.
'Well sah," said the Judge with his
southern idiom that Is 90 familiar to all
the old time Yakimaites, at was in the
August Of "a that I met Mr.. Walker,
who clerked for Bancroft at Fort simcoe,
and he showed me . piece Of mineral Of
about q pound weight, which, but for
small specks Of quartz in It, would be
virgin silver. He said that he had OBJ
tanned II from Zokes-eye, an Indian, who
had told him he had taken Il from Q big
ledge located short distance above his
camp In the TetAn and that Il was but 4
days journey from Fort Simcoe. Walker
and Zokes-eye were kin through the for
mer's Indian wife and thus he came into
the confidence Of the red man who prom
ised to show him the mine Of silver.
One day Walker met an acquaintance
named Blatchley, who was on his way to
San Francisco, and he gave him the mug
get TO have Il assayed, the result being
80 per cent Of pure silver. Blatchley
burning with the mining fever returned
and hunted unsuccessfully through two
years for the ledge"
The year that Walker got the nugget he
was called to the agency at Tillamook
bay but before leaving he promised Judge
Nelson that he would return in the fall,
get the necessary information Of location
from Zokes-eye and accompany the Judge
to the ledge. Walker never returned.
He was sent by the government on an I'M
portant mission to the Lapwai agency
where he died. Judge Nelson then de-
termined to search for the mine on his
own hook, and every season for the past
twenty-three years, with the exception Of
two, be has prospeCted the Tietan basin
and the adjoining mountains, but with
out finding the sought for ledge. He tried

after the grain or alfalfa is we'll up; thl
third, after iOinting and just before bios
soming.
These, Of course, are not inhexibll
: rules, but in average soils and ordinarl
seasons, for small grain or alfalfa, MAJ
be accepted as correct.
For vegetable gardening or fruit rails
ing, the intelligent agriculturist must b,
guided by the nature Of his crop ant
keep his land moist, not wet; more or
chards and gardens are spoiled by usinI
too much water than not enough. NJ
orchardist in the east would attempt d
grow fruit trees in q swamp, and tht
folly Of converting our vineyards, gar
dens and orchards into mire holes by I
careless, Wasteiul use of irrigation Is in
excusable.
There are two methods in use for soak
ing the lsnd-by 'Nchecksn and by the
"triekling' system. Both systems have
their advocates; but really, Il Is a matter
10 he determined more by contour Of the
land than the fancy d man. II the
grO1nd is comparatively level the check
or flooding system Is the best, being the
cheapest, As large bodies Of land can be
flooded simultaneously.
II the land falls OF rapidly. that Is to
say, has appreciable grade, the trickling
system Is the best, for then in order 10
food, the checks" would be too close
together for blowing, besides the cost Of
construction.
Checks" are simply earthen ridges
from . foot to twenty inches in height,
that are thrown up with the pillow and
scraper 90 as TO include all the level land
in field In one body; the sides Of these
ridges are very sloping, In order that they
may be easily driven over.
From the ditch above the water Is turned
upon the land inclosed In the check. and
allowed TO completely moisten the ground,
is then drawn of through q box. to the
next lower body Of land, or "check," as
they are termed, and 50 on till the whole
field Il irrigated.
Itquite frequently happens that there
are q number Of checks" In one field.
The advantage Of this method Is that land
can be irrigated in large bodies economi-
cally, as one active hand can easily take
care Of and irrigate several hundred acres.
