ing specimens Of the hobo stamp OF
tramps had their photographs taken to-
day to decorate the rogue's gallery. The
fellows are some OF gang of worthless
fellows who have been hanging around
this city for some days. Santa Ana is
rough place for the tramp element, for
our police authorities will not permit
them to oloiter hereabouts, loafing. When
the four men were brought into the pho
tographer's they objected strongly to
having their likenesses taken, but it was
no use. and 90 they submitted with
ecowling faces, which will not add to the
beauty OF the photograph.
HARD BLOW.
A good old-time Santa Ana wind has
been blowing all day, and commenced
at midnight last night. 1t has been one
of the severest winds OF the season, and
has no doubt done considerable damage
TO the orange crop in this section. These
heavy winds, which invariably blow at
this season of the year, should teach
orange growers that it is absolutely
necessary to have orange brakes to stop
Old Boreas in his travels, and prevent
him from ruthlessly shaking the oranges
off of the trees. Most of our orange
growers, realizing the necessity. now
have effective barriers against the wind,
but not few have not, and these are
the ones who suffered by today's wind
storm.
MORE WATER.
The farmers living in the vicinity OF
Ell Modena and Villa Park have long
been in need of more water for irrigat-
ing purposes, and last week an import
ant work was completed which will fur
nish an adequate supply of water for all
;rrieatinp purposes. The main supply
of water to irrigate this district must
necessarily come from the Santiago
creek. and go the stockholders of the Ell
Modena and Villa Park Irrigation COM
pany have built at considerable expense
a submerged dam across this waterway,
which completely holds in check the
waters. and gives a greatly increased
supply for irrigating purposes. The
enterprising farmers living in that fav-
ored part OF Orange county can now
plant more orchards, feeling safe in the
assurance of an abundant supply OF
water.
