and give you a few items.
The weather perhaps would be hot dur
ing the day were it not for the breeze from
the lake. Then the nights, so deliciously
cool. Travel is fine now, and Mr. Moody's
stages come filled each morning.
The Chautauqua Assembly begin their
meetings August 10Th. at Glenbrook, and
the Mamie will be stationed at that place
during their meeting, TO take those desiring
pleasure trip 10 points around the lake.
Robert Watson. of the Hotel Watson,
chartered the Tod Goodwin and Mamie to
bring invited guests to the ball, given as q
house warming, August Sd. The moon

joy-for it was swell affair, and all pres

at II, after which all dispersed to their
homes.
Mrs Lucy Kirby aud Miss Mamie Moore
were the guests OF Captain and Mrs. Tod
man. We understand that Mrs Kirby
will have fine new hotel built at Emerald
Bay the work to begin this fall. The de-
sign is magnificent, and in all will have
about fifty rooms.
Emerald Bay, we feel confident, will be
the resort of the lake. The bay reminds
me of Norwegian ford, an indenta'ion
three miles long, so deep, so clear and
still, and the cascade breaks over ledge
thousand feet high aud leaps down the
rocky slope through dense archway Of
pines. The banks of the BAY are almost
impossible and are meshed in a wQndrously
fine variety of evergreens and atborescent
vegetation, and then those execrable trails
half buried in confusing growth of under
brush, vet so charming

A PAIR OF JACKS.

They Looked Alike and Bore the Same
Names, yet were Strangers.
Early last evening police officer Wilson
lugged very much inebriated individual
into the police station and asked Jailer
Rider to lock him up as an ordinary
drunk" The prisoner, between bis hic-
coughs, gave his name as John Cardwell,
and after being duly registered was safely
housed in the drunk cell.
About two hours later, officer Wagner
and special Mclaughlin arrived with an
Other inebriate. When they faced him
around so that Jailer Rider could see him,
that official nearly fell from his chair.
How'd he get out?" he gasped.
"Out of where?" asked one of the Off
GERS.
"Out o. here. l locked that fellow up
once, or I'm an Ipjun."
Sure enough, the new conner was either
John Cardweil or his double.
Whats your Dame?" asked officer
Wagner, giving the prisoner shake.
I" Jonathan (hic) Cardwell."
"Oh, Lord 1 knew it," walled the taller,
and seizing his keys, he rushed for the
drunk cell, fully expecting to find every
occupant gone. But to his surprise there
were no sawed bars or removed bricks, and
the harmonious ensemble of shores con-
WINGED him that at least some of the DRINKS
were left. CHANGING furtively about Mr.
Riders eye finally rested on the peaceful
face OF John Cardwell, now in dreamlano.
well, that beats me-" unused the jailer,
scratching his head and gazing at the
placid face. Then going to the door he
shouted to the officers to bring the other
fellow in.
The sleeping John Cardwell was aroused
and confronted with the new arrival As
like as two peas. They stared and blinked
at each other, but neither had ever seen
the other before.
Jailer Rider breathed much easier. and
the other officers pronounced it one of the
most remarkable condolences they had
ever heard Of

WATER AND TRUTH.

An Industrious Chinamsn Tells What
Eight Acres Will Do.
The Colusa san states that census agent
employed on Sacramento river district
went to a Chinese garden where water
was pumped from the river on eight acres
of land. The agent showed the boss that
he was working for Uncle Sam and must
have the exact truth on a pain of some such
severe penalty as the coniscation of his
queue. In response he said that he cult
waited eight acres; that his books showed
sales of vegetables to the amount of 81 600,
and that many small cash sales did not go
down; that the whole had probably reached
SIS 000 He pumped the water on his land
with two horses. Said that with plenty OF
water he could make his sales reach Sl0,-
O00
1--WE may well conclude" adds the Sun,
"that vegetables COW feed, etc, can be
grown on two acres to feed a family OF
seven persons. If, therefore, a man has
ten acres, he could plant eight to fruit and
use two for vegetables, etc. and comforta-
HE living could be made. A family OF
seven can do all the work on such tract.
This can be done without bringing the land
near up to the productiveness OF the Chi
nese garden. But to do this we must have
water-cheap water. On the other hand,
we know of land held at $40 to $50 an acre
IN AZ has not paid the owners per cent. IN
terest on $50 an acre. The difference is In
having and not having water.

HARTNELL GRANT.
The Present Owners VIII stoutly Defend
Their Interests.

The present owners of the Hartnell
grant" says the Gait Gazette, held meet
ing in Gait last Tuesday for the purpose of
getting their heads together and making
arrangements to defend their several in
terests and titles to land in the grant herein
referred to. 1t will be remembered that
some few weeks ago sn action was COM
menced in the Superior Court of this
county to recover a certain interest in the
Hartnell grant, and that the case is being
prosecuted by we'll known San Francisco
attorneys. The present owners are not in
the least alarmed over the suit, which in
their opinion has simply been trumped
up by coterie of lawyers for fees that
might be made out of the litigation How
ever, the owners are taking time by the
forelock and will leave nothing undone TO
defend and protect their interests
