SHE SAVED THE CHICKENS.

An East Los Angeles Girl shows Remark
able Pluck.
East Side News: One night last week
8 young lady living across the arroyo
was awakened by the sound Of some one
trying to steal their chickens.
The young lady happened 10 be alone
in the house that night, her parents
having been away visiting; but she got
up and dressed, took her brothers. rifle
from the corner, opened the door, went
out and demanded to know who was
there. Upon getting no reply she lev
eled the rifle in the direction of the
noise and fred, whereupon she saw two
men run from the coop at break-neck
speed.
The young lady fires. q couple more
shots at the retreating forms, after which
she went in the house and got the lam
tern and proceeded to the chicken
coop, where she found number Of lath
torn off, and near by sack with two
chickens in it. one having it's head off.
Miss c. got q hammer and mended
the coop, after which ahe returned TO
bed to dream over the past nights ex-
perience. How many East Los Angeles
young ladies would have had that much
pluck?

change was made and the work OF
anal-building was transferred to the
west side of the Colorado. Lines were
run from the Pot Holes and from Eureka
canon down the Colorado to the Mexican
line, thence across Mexican territory for
80 miles or more, thence across the
boundary line to American soil and
on down to the Salton sea. Right OF
way has thus far been secured only
through the Indian reservation down to
Ell Rio, distance of some % miles.
1t will be fine thing for the canal
company if it succeeds in getting these
lands, from which it would derive rev.
enue OF not less than So, $50, 900. leaving
500, 600 for cutting up and dividing the
tract The citizens of Yuma do not OBJ
ject to this. provided the United States
government will 60 little further and
treat other and just as deserving canal
or irrigation projects in Yuma in the
same way. There are two other COM
panies that have spent as much or more
money than the Sonora company, which
few months ago assumed the name OF
another irrigation project whose opera
tions are on the east side of the Colora-
do, and which is known as the Colorado
River Irrigation company.
If the Sonora Canal company ehould
fell to get these Indian lands it will
have to build its great canal 25 miles on
American soil and 80 miles or more on
Mexican territory before it has foot OF
land of its own to sell or irrigate. Last
year in started in with great show,
spent money lavishly and rushed the
surveys. When the work was sus-
pended in June the public was in
formed that as soon as the heated
term was over, about October let. 1000
men would be at work and on Novem-
ber Let 1000 men. Thus far not man
or beast appears on the Yuma payroll
Of the company.
What may come out OF the commits
sioners' work is only conjecture, but the
Yuma people feel thai if one canal pro-
ject is to be festered by the general gov
ernment all snch irrigation projects
should be assisted in the same way ;
that the government should not fight
one and then turn around and help an
other no more deserving.

A BRIDE OF CHRIS i
An Impressive Religious Cerensas
tho Mercy Homo.

Yesterday morning at o'cloce,
the Mercy Home in this city. on y
Third street, Miss Annie McBrinli
known in religion as Sister Mary Joa-
chin, after novitiate OF two years and q
half, presented herself before the altar
to make profession OF the sacred vows
of poverty, chastity and obedience.
which are forever to bind her entirely
and alone to religious life.
The little chapel in which the csre-
mony took place presented very pretty
appearance, the altar being tastefully
decorated with the choicest roses, whxle
the rays of sunlight that streamed
through the windows mingliug with
those of the lighted candles, seemed to
add still greater solemnity to the occa-
sion.
The ceremony was conducted by the
Very Rev. Father Adam, as
sisted by Father Coti, and
after solemn words of warn
ing as to the life she was entering upon,
the very reverend father dwelt for some
time on the parable Of the ten virgins,
five of whom were foolish and five were
wise, exhorting her to follow in the way
of the wise virgins.
During the celebration of the mass,
and before receiving holy communion,
the sister, with lighted candle in hand,
consecrated herself for all time to the
service OF the Divine Lord and Redeem
or. After receiving holy communion she
prostrated herself on the ground, as ID
usual on all such occasions, whilst the
choir sang an appropriate hymn and the
celebrant sprinkled the prostrate form
with holy water. At the close of the
hymn, assisted by the mother assistant,
the sister arose, again kneeling to re-
ceive the final benediction from the rev.
erend father, bowing reverently before
the altar. She then took her place in
the chapel and remained kneeling until
the close OF the ceremony.
There were quite number OF the
Young lady's friends present, among
them being her slater, Miss Susie Me-
Brinn, accompanied by her friend, Miss
Reid, of Cambridge, Mass, they having
arrived in Los Angeles a few days ago In
order to witness the profession of Sister
Mary Joachim.

Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle.
YUMA, A. T., Nov. 29.--The Yuma In
dian reservation is to be cut up and di-
vided among the Indians. The commits
sioners to make the treaty. appointed by
the government, are on the ground and
at work. The citizens of Yuma were
little puzzled when the announcement
was made that the commission had been
appointed upon a petition of the In
dians, in which i: was also asked that
the remainder of their lands be disposed
of and the proceeds used for furnishing
them water for irrigation. Few citizens
knew that any such petition had ever
been circulated, and, moreover. it was
stipulated in the act of congress grant
ing the right of way through the reser-
vation to the Sonora Land and Canal
company that the canal company should
furnish the Indians all the water neces-
sary for irrigation and domestic pur-
poses free of charge. 1t turns out that
petition was secretly circulated by an
agent OF the canal company, and that he
succeeded in getting 100 signatures
among the 1160 Indians. Upon this
showing the act OF congress was passed,
appointing the commission and sppro-
priating SIS, 900 with which to defray it's
expenses.
The Yuma reservation contains about
45 900 acres of land, extending along
the Colorado river from the Pot Holes to
the Mexican boundary line, barring out
the ranches of Hall Hanlon and Ell Rio,
which occupy the river front from the
boundary line of Mexico up the stream
for three miles. Giving to each OF the
1850 Indiani 10 acres, there would be
about "a 900 acres remaining to be sold,
which, at $50 an acre, low price once
the land is supplied with water for irri-
CATION, would yield $1,670.0OO. This
sum, ii devoted to the betterment of the
Indians individually, as they wish.
would give about $1440 to each one, or
enough to place them in easy circum-
stances for farming.
But evidently this is not the desire or
purpose of the canal company. The
"a 900 acres at from $50 to $100 an acre
would give them basis upon which
they could probably raise the. money
money with which to 60 on with the
work on the canal, the surveys for which
were suspended in June last for want of
funds.
AS far az can be ascertained, the In
dians do not feel any too pleasant over
the fact that after the canal company
has been given the right of way across
the their reservation they must again
pay the canal for its building. Neither
do they see through the intricacies of
the white mans diplomacy.
The Sonora Land and Canal company
was organized to build canal on the
east side of the river from just below
Castle Dome landing down to the So
nora line in Mexico, where the company
has claim OF two tracts of land, com
prising about 100000 acres. much OF
which, with watar for irrigation, could
be utilized for fru IT and nut culture.
For some reason, when the engineers
were ready to start into the field, q

San Francisco Examiner: The attor-

engaged in the preparation OF the papers
in what promises to be one of the most
important international affairs presented
for settlement since the Mexican war.
The ownership of the waters OF the Col
orado river, now of immense value by
reason of various projected irrigation
schemes, is directly at issue, and the
amount OF money involved cannot be
estimated.
what we desire to settle once and
forever" said Attorney General Hart
last evening, sis the correct boundary
line between California and Arizona,
which we are certain is wrong at pres
ent. and the question whether the i'm
mense Colorado canal shall be built
through Mexican territory while owned
by Americans. The Colorado River Irri-
CATION company, q corporation OF Denver
Capitalists, has projected canal to irri-
gate /. 200, 900 acres of land lying in the
Salton desert.
OPPOSITION FROM MEXICO.
They propose to take their water
from the Colorado river, nine miles
above Yuma. The canal then passes off
to the southwest, and to avoid range
of ssndhills coming out from the San
Bernsrdjno range, must be carried
down across the Mexican line and then
back into California at point south OF
Indian Wells. Everything was proceed
ing smoothly until unexpected opposi-
tion arose coming from the Mexican
owners of the immense plains to the
southwest of Yuma, In Lower Califor-
mia. These landholders have insisted
that the irrigation company on reaching
Mexican territory with their canal shall
first guarantee them that all the land in
Lower California west of the Colorado
and southwest of Yuma, directly under
the canal. shall first be furnished with
water before they shall have the right
of way through Mexican lands.
This. OF course, means that there
will be little water left for the district
between Indio in California and the in
ternational line. If the claim 10 upheld
by the two governments the California
aesert cannot be irrigated. TIE fight
will be for the waters OF the Colorado.
"To understand just what the conten-
tion is 1t is well to state the line OF the
proposed canal. 1t commencea in Cali
fornia, as have already said. nine miles
above Yuma and runs 16 miles through
the Yuma Indian reservation to Ell Rio
lust inside the line. At this point the
canal falls % feet, which is to be used
TOR water power.
IN BAD FIX.
'Then the canal is carried into Lower
california, Mexican territory, there
tanning southwest 45 miles. While the
