Pumping is another source OF supply

in this way at a comparatively small
cost. His example will be followed by
others as fast as the limited capital Of

An Excellent Description OF a Suburb of
Riverside.
ARLINGTON, CAL, Jan. 2S.-The other
day while visiting Riverside I had the
pleasure Of taking drive over what is
known as the famous Arlington Heights
tract.
/ am an old Californian, having lived
in this state nearly 15 years, most of
that time having been spent in the
growing of oranges, lemons, etc., and
without the slig htest hesitation I can
say, never have seen such fine young
groves, for their age, in this state.
When one is buying orange land the
great questions to be determined are:
No. What is the character and
adaptation of the lands proposed to be
irrigated?s
No. 2-Is there plenty of water and a
good method Of distribution?
Arlington has all the requirements
necessary. The soil is decomposed gran
| lite, and the water and method of distri-
button the very best.
Sixty artesian wells, some of which
have flow of as many as 200 miners
inches of water, besides the water right
from the Santa Ana river, make up the
water system. Water is brought down
from the source of an open canal %
miles long, the grsater portion of which
is cemented. From the main canal water
is distributed in steel pipes to the high
est corner of each 10-acre lot.
| Victoria avenue, which runs parallel
to the famous Magnolia avenue, trav-
erses the center OF the entire tract, is
eight miles long and 1872 feet wide, with
a double driveway, planted on the sides
with every imaginable tree and shrub
In the center of the avenue is vacant
space for an electric car system, which
win be built in the near future.

will be in toto.

me to say that this is precisely the view
taken by Gengeral Ruggles, the original
patentee and agitator of the idea OF pro-
ducing aerial conclusions to promote
rainfall, whose idea it is to not wait till
prolonged and continued drought pre-
vent rain conditions, but to prevent
drought rather than cure 1T.
The government rainfall experiments,
however, were directed chiefly toward
producing rain under unfavorable ram
conditions, especially those at Midland,

From the testimony of the govern
ment architect and superintendent Of
public buildings in Washington, to the
effect that when last examined by them
the Ford building, that collapsed last
week with such fatal results, was in safe
condition, would seem to place the re-
sponsibility for the disaster upon the
contractor who had undertaken to do the
work that was being done and who had
assumed, in the contract, all damage
that might be done to the building. This
goes a good way towards eXculpating
Colonel Ainsworth from immediate
blameworthiness, tho it is not denied
that he was frequently in the building
where the work npon it was being done
and knew that there was no one present
specially delegated to superintend and
direct the work.

The doctor came to this country in the
fifties-a graduate of an eastern medical
college-in the vernacular of westerner-
tenderfoot But the young
medical student came with the
determination not to be baffied by the red
man nor intimiGated by the rude western
ways of the white man. He made many
friends by his atfable manner and was re-
spected by the Indians and held high
place in the esteem of the military officers
at Fort Sill. He soon became noted
scout and Indian hunter. and it was he OF
all other scouts and officers that General
selected to bring to terms the renegade
| Comanche Indians, then on the war-path
under the leadership of Chief Quanah.
After bidding his friends adiue, for
no one except General Mckenzie
ever expected to see him alive
again, the doctor rode boldly out

thought of duty leading him on. After

Circumstances may entirely change the
outlook for men now mentioned. New

complaint: "While the Peoples party

number are defending the pending is
sues as they ought. Too many are look

enough are inclined to stand up for

leaders of the party-"While you are
