you MAY USE YOUR WATER WITH A
DIFFERENCE.

South Riverside yesterday celebrated
the opening of new irrigation ditch,
intended to convey water to the orchards
of that thriving place. At this particu-
lar time half of the eastern states are
under water, and the people in the dis
tricts are fleeing from their homes in
order to save their lives.
There is an object lesson In these two
facts, so simple and SO plain that chill
dren in the kindergarten would be dull
if they did not comprehend it's signif-
canoe.
From time immemorial the people OF
the east have regarded Southern Cali
fornia as an arid land, whose supply of
water was not sufficient for the matur-
ing of the crops. These people from
their birth are SO accustomed to the
presence generally of excessive down.
pours of rain that they are unable to
comprehend how the absence of such o
dispensation can be regarded as bless
ing. The rains in Southern California
usually fall during one half OF the year,
and six or eight months OF each season
are marked by absolute drought. In
the east this would mean a famine.
Here the total rainfall does not amount
to more than an average of nineteen
inches in the fertile plains where we
raise our crops. In the mountains the
precipitation is good deal greater.
Owing to our very mild climate we are
able to lay hold of this climatic circum-
stance and raise all our cereal, hay and
vegetable crops, as we'll as our crops of
small fruits, and of all deciduous fruits
from the effects of this rather light rain
fall, during the months between Decem-
Der and April, inclusive OF both.
The larger precipitation in the noun
tains creates large streams of water at
close intervals, and these flow with more
or less volume all the year around.
Here we take advantage of these circum-
stances and use the waters from the
mountains to irrigate our citrus orchards,
in the production OF corn and alfalfa, land
in securing two to five crops year from
the same piece OF land. We have abso.
Lutte control of our water supply. We
rarely suffer from droughts, and not
often from floods. We do not as rule
have to wait upon the caprice of the
weather to put in our crops. Ii we want
to plow and the land is dry, we turn on
head of water and get it exactly wet
enough. II rain does not fall just when
the growing crop needs moisture, we
supply what is requisite from the ditch.
We have no droughts and no floods.
The common liquid essential to the fer
tilization of the soil is under our own
control, and it is only a question of
judgment as to when we shall use it.
Meantime for six to eight months
out of each twelve we dwell beneath
sunny skies, genial and comfortable.
We 60 and come as we please, suffer no
soakings with resultant colds, pneu-
monia and fevers. Our crops mature
with the greatest certainty, and our
health is preserved as if by miraculous
intervention.

tenn had to be adopted to get up to
higher elevations. This required great
nicely of calculation and work, and
makes the system quite complicated
one.
Among the other speakers were Mr..
Daniels of the Orange Growers bank at
Riverside, Mr.. Joe Brown Of San Ber-
nardino, G. G. Haskell of the Times
Index, San Bernar dino, and A. H. Natz-
ger of the First National Bank of
Riverside. They all spoke briefly
but enthusiastically of the future
of South Riverside, and particularly of
the new section brought within the
range of industry. Upon the front of
the booth, in large letters, were the
notices, "Wateris King" "Queen Col
ony," and .'Orange Heights" These
were referred to by the speakers in vari-
GUS ways, and there could be no doubt of
the interest awakened in the surround
ing sections of country by the new enter
prise inaugurated by private capital.
George Tincher, passenger agent of
the Santa Fe, and j. L. Hibbard, mag
ter of transportation, accompanied the
excursion, and there were no delays or
accidents.
At the conclusion of the speaking the
work of getting the visitors back to the
trains was expeditiously performed
amidst the greatest of good feeling, and
at O'Clock the tardy ones were aboard
and the day was at an end.
There are many old timers to whom
the references made to the Temescal
valley will bring up many recollections
OF the time long ago when the route
along which the pipe lines run was the
entrance to the famous run for horse
and cattle thieves up the Temescal
cafion. and through it down into Mexico.
In those days it bore very different
reputation to what it does now. Then
instead of a peaceful population the
caflon contained residents with whom
the horse thieves found q ready refage
when hard pressed, and who threw the
officers off the track by many shrewd
tricks. 1t was not infrequent that
eheriffs even as late as twenty years ago
made expeditions into the cafion to
break up the bands of outlaws who
made it their headquarters. Now
the scene is changed, and peaceful
ranchers, instead Of calculating the
profits from illicit practices in horse
flesh, are engaged in figuring up what
profits they will derive from the fruit
now growing, which the development OF
abundant water supplies has rendered

RICHARD MANSFIELD has made most
favorable impression on the playgoers of
Los Angeles. In his lines of acting he
takes first rank among the artists of the
day. His art is of that finished, per-
feet type that truly holds the mirror up
to nature. He is not Booth, nor ie he
Barrett, for the reason that he is not
tragic in his roles. They could do his
work, but he could not do theirs. How
much better they could do his work
than he DOES it himself is question.

Democrats to Decide Upon a
Policy Next Friday.
The Anti-Free Silver Men the Movers For
tho Caucus. But Democrats on Both
Sides Sign the Petition For the Call
The Rules Discussed Mt Length in the
House-Thc Ways and Means Commit
toe For the Springer Tariff Policy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-lSpcciall-
A decree of caucus is to be made to
settle the silver questi On in the Demo-
cratic party. This was decided upon
to-day, and singularly enough, the OPP
ponents of free coinage are the ones
who have taken the Initiative in de-.
manding party caucus.
Representative Harter, of Ohio, circu-
lated among the Democratic members
of the House to-day, tho following
call for q caucus:
ITO Mr.. Holman, chairman Of the eau
Gus:
"The undersigned respectfully ask:you
TO call the Democratic members Of the
House together at tho House Friday
next at 7:30 o'clock D. M, TO consider
what should bo the action of our side of
the House upon the question whether
any legislation concerning tho coinage
OF silver shall be brought up during tho
present session for discussion and final
action"
Mr.. Harter had no difficulty in getting
many more than tho requisite mum ber
of signatures to the call for the caucus.
ana on presentation Of the paper to Mr.
Holman that gentleman stated that he
would at once issue formal call.
II believed, with many other mem
bers of the House," said Mr.. Harter to
an Associated Press reporter, .sthat
such caucus was very desirable from
the standpoint Of those who favor free
coinage as we'll as from that OF those
who arc opposed to it. Tho signatures
to tho call are not limited to the mem
bers who are opposed to FREQ coinage of
the legal tender silver dollar, which
costs the silver miner Al cents and
which everybody else, including mon,
women, children and pensioners, would
be obliged to take at its full value OF
100 cents, but include also those who
hold to tho view that free and unlimited
coinage OF silver would be beneficial to
the general interests Of the country"
The Democratic maj ority Of tho ways
and means committee, by formal action
this morning, adopted tho Springer
policy, and decided to attack the
Mckinley act by various separate bills.
Upon this policy the Democratic mem
bcrs of the committee decided to act as
unit.

NORTON, Va, Jan. 2e.-rSoecia,l-
Inc excitement resulting from the Talt
Hall trial reached fever heat here last
night, and the interest to-day is still
unabatcd. Last night was certainly
one OF terror and anxiety at Wise Court
House, especially to women and chill

About o'clock several men came in

pose of rescuing him.
Inc country around Wise Court

three squads OF men were seen yester-
terday approaching from across the
Black Mountains. William Hall. the
prisoners brother, was commanding
one, and man named Sam Wright tho
other. -
So great was the apprehension of

prosecuting counsel, while speaking,
was armed to tho teeth The guards
show great determination, and declare
they VIII die before Hall shall DO taken
Hall was interviewed this morniug by
representative of TIE TINES and he,
expressed but little apprehension and.
seemed confident that he would be
acquitted.
The argument of tho counsel con-
tinued all day, closing at O'Clock whom
the case was given to the jury. The
argument of the lawyers was very able.
Hall sat at the bar looking as uncon-
cerned rs any man in the courthouse,
he arose once during the argument oH
his counsel and made some suggestions.
The jury after being out fifteen min
utes returned and asked tho court for
instructions, Tho court then adjourned

that might be called up. The amend
ment was rejected.
The debate got away from rules al

declared that if q free coinage bill were

Mr. Dinyley, of Maine, said that the

giving the committee on coinage.

any time, on assurance from the gem
tIeman from Missouri, Mr.. Bland. that
1T was unnecessary. There seemed to
DO some misunderstanding somewhere
and he wished to call the attention Of
the gentleman from Illinois to the
matter.
MIR. Springer-"I did not make tho
statement that this House would not
pass FREQ coinage bill"
Mr.. Dingley-"I understood the gen
tleman to be SO reported. Will the gen
tleman please state what he did saw"
Mr.. Springer's reply was inaudible to
the reporters, but he subsequently,
stated that his reply was: 81 stated
that free coinage bill would not be-
come law during the present Con-
gress."
Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, moved to
strike from the rules the provision
making it always in order to call up for
consideration the report from the com
mitteo on rules and preventing dilatory
motions being made pending such con-
sideration. This brought on long
and spirited debate.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, offered an
amendment providing for the appoint
mont of committee on the order of
business to consist Of fifteen members
(ten Democrats and five of tho opposi-
tion) which shall have leave to report

Still. DISCUSSING THE RULES.
The District Appropriations the Principal
Bone of Contention.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-I Special I'm
the House to-day, after tho reading and
approval of. the journal, AR. Campbell,
of New York. attempted to secure tho
floor in order to ask tho immediate
passage OF the joint resolution author
izing tho Department of State to deliver
10 the officers and crew of the United
States steamer Baltimore, 354 medals
presented to them by tho king OF
Sweden to commemorate tho services
rendered by them in transporting the
romans of IIericson to Sweden, but MIR.
Catchings, of Mississippi, demanded
the regular order, and the House pro-
ceedcd to the further consideration OF
the report of tho committee on rules.
The pending amendment was then Of
fored by Mr.. Hemphill, of South Caro-
lima, withdrawing from the iurisdic-
ton OF the appropriation committee,
the appropriations for the support of tho
District of Columbia. In speaking of
this amendment Mr.. Blount, who has
had many years experience as chair
man and member of the committee on
postoffces and postroads, replied to
{.
Holman, rejecting upon an increase in
the expenditure for the postal service.
He (Mr. Blount) denied that there had
been any extravaganza in that service.
The increase of appropriations had
grown out OF tho prosperity of the re-
public. (Applause)
Mr. Sayers, of Texas, was opposed to
Mr.. llemphill's propositi ton and con
tended that it was in tho interest of
good government and economy that the
expenditures for the District OF Colu,n-
bia should remain nnder the control Of
the appropriation committee.
While MIR. ayers was speaking he
was frequently interrupted by Mr..
Hemphill and by Mr. Heard, of Mis-
souri,, but there was so much confusion
in the hall that their voices did not
reach the reporters ears. In vain did
the Speaker appeal for n restoration of
order. He was finally compelled to call
upon the sergeant'at-arms to aid in tho
preservation Of some degree of quiet.
Mr. Hemphill, in advocating his
amendment. criticized. tho commit ttce
on appropriations for endeavoring to
hold on to everything it could get, and
ridiculed the idea of economy enter
tanned by some people. which consisted
in taking money from tho people and
keeping it as long as they could
Mr. Breckenridge, OF Arkansas, ar
gued that the policy OF distribution OF
appropriation bills has not contributed
to economy.
Mr. Hooker, OF Mississippi, gave his
adherence to the doctrine OF the distri-
button of appropriation bills. That
distribution had been made on account
OF rebellion against the immense power
exercised by the committee on appro-
priations. 1t had worked we'll and he
could see no reason why the District
committee should not be given juris-
diction over expenditures for the sup
port OF the District.
Mr.. Hemphill closed the debate in
favor OF his amendment He warned
the House against the danger of giving
