IRRIGATION BONDS.
A Question Of Great Importance to the
State Of California.

Los ANGELES. Oct. 2l.-The Irrigators'
Association to-day devoted good deal of
time to discussion and some valuable ideas
were exchanged.
The morning session opened at 9 o'clock
with good attendance.
L. l.. Rogers of Rialto introduced Judge
r. NJ Widney, widely known banker and
business man. He spoke on the subject of
placing irrigation bonds on the markets He
said he took great interest in the material
progress of California, and as the question
of irrigation was one of great importance
he felt deep interest in it. He referred to
the present status of irrigation bonds in the
financial market and what it should be in the
future. These bonds should rate best in the
United States. Land and water together
certainly ought to be good security. At the
present time nearly every bond of any
subject to litigation. He was in favor
of so legalizing the issuance of irri-
CATION bonds that after they are
once sold, no legal objection could be raised
concerning their validity, etc. TIE speaker
referred to case where the validity of the
bonds being raised, seriously interfered with
the business Of gentleman who neld them.
The district in which Stockton is located
issued 100000 in bonds. The district is
assessed at $50, 000,000 The Stockton
banker purchased these bonds and when
he wanted to raise S15G, 900 on them in San
Francisco he could not do it. They said:
Cant you give Us some other security?
These bonds may be all right but it will
be necessary for us to employ an attorney
TO investigate the manner in which they
were issued, etc." The Judge gave an
other instance: A certain English cap
itslist had been offered bonds of the
Vineland District. Upon investigating
he became suspicious or alarmed and at
the last moment refused to buy them.
Judge Widney took several thousand
dollars worth and while later sold the
same bonds to the Englishman at price
higher than they could first have been
purchased. He had at last been con-
vineed that they were gilt-edge security.
Judge Widney submitted a resolution
recommending that the Legislature still
further irrigation interests.
The resolution brought out considerable
discussion. Some were in favor of it and
others opposed TO it. 1t was finally referred
TO the Legislative Committee.
A vote of thanks was rendered Judge
Widney.
On motion a new Board of Directors of
the association was nominated by the Chair,
aud the convention indorSed the nomina-
tions, which were: A. j. Tully of the
Central District of Cousa, p. Y. Buker of
the Alta District, E. Dew Witt of Tulare, f. G.
Ryan of Anaheim, and President Nance of
Perris.
The Salt Lake Congress, lately held, was
lndorsed.
The bylaws of the association will be
amended this afternoon.

THE STOCKTON TRACK.
Views Expressed by Manager LathrOp
Palo Alto Farm.

Views Expressed by Manager Lathrop of
Palo Alto Farm.
81 do not agree with those who consider
the Stockton kite-shaped track faster than
the Independence track" said Ariel La
throp, manager Of the Palo Alto stock
farm. last night There IS no reason why
II should be considered sc, and ] think that
the claim is an injustice TO the horses VINO
nave made such magnificent records over 1t.
In the first place it is a new track and the
soil cannot be as good for speeding pur-
poses as ore that has been worked on lor
more than a wear, as has been that at lnde-
pendence The latter. | should say, is
faster to-day than that at Stockton. In
Judging of the performances of the horses
at Stockton one thing must not
he overlooked. The horses were in
the best phy sicai condition and had been
carefully trained for the event by one OF the
most skillful handlers OF hOrSsslin the world.
You may take any horse and put him In the
hands of a man like Marvin for few
months and he will break his own record.
Suppose, for instance, that horse has been
on the track for a season. He IS naturally
out of condition and needs rest Give him
the latter and then handle him properly,
and " hen he is sent over the track you will
fiud that he will surprise his best friends
with his performance.
Now take horse that trOtS, say in 2:30,
and send him over a track under favorable
conditions. lie Will proDaDly KNOCK lhIee
or four seconds from his record easily and
nothing is thought of it. In the case Of
Sunol it is quite another matter. She. we
know, has reached almost TO the extreme
limit of the speed of a horses flight, and
half a second is more in comparison than
four seconds clipped off 2 80 record.
" do not know positively yet whether or
not Suuol will be speeded again before
going East, but l think it quite likely that
she will. Those who saw her trOt yeSter-
day are confident that she can go in 2:0612
OF :07, and it is probable that she will be
given a chance to try it. We know from
experience that she can trot half mile in
one minute fat and if she is sent to the
half in :03 she can come home in 2:O7."
