 Besides this great system the following canals with underlying territory must be considered The Highland canal 20 miles, 900 acres the Mesa canal 10 miles, 20 900 acres the Utah. 10 miles, 10000 acres the Tempe 15 miles, soooo.
 The entire region about Mesa derives its life from these systems which are also contrbutory in the highest de- gree the agricultural prosperity of the country around Tempe
 There is rapidly spreading belief that that part of the valley in which these two ourishing located is growing belief
 is not improper in this connection to describe briefly the grounds upon which this belief is based and the natural reasons why it is so.
 The country about Mesa will probably within the next ten years enjoy the widely circulated distinction of being the most productive frugowing region in the United States it is now known to be the chief fruit belt of the valley
 It differs sufficiently in altitude from the rest of the valley to insure semtropical fruits against danger from frost always imminent in the most favored regions of Cali fornia
 The altitude is SIG feet higher than Tempe and 172 feet above Phnx rendering it somewhat cooler than either place in summer and slightly in winter.
 Vineyards dot the country in every direction and hun dreds of broad acres are set to almonds daes Mesa City, the center this lovely region is ideal village of 1900 people, situated 6s miles east of Tempe and about IF miles from Phoenix
 The business and commercial interests include one bank seven general merchandise sore hardware store two blacksmith shops lumber yard and two saloons
 The buildings are of a good character and become more pretentious yearly As might be expected in such community there are excellent church and school facilities and the town is sufficiently metropolitan to support small opera house.
 Communication is maintained with the neghboring cities of Tempe and Phoenix by of two daily stages

Brady, ''that Corbett will not fight you
under London rules, and you may chal-

the Marquis of Queensberry rules, and
that is the way he intends to defend the

As the party was about to depart Mitch
ell asked Brady if Corbett would fight at
Monaco.
YES said Brady, "when we get a

Mitchell agreed to cable Atkinson of

NEW ORLEANS WON'T MEET THE OFFER.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-The Contest
Committee of the Olympic Club held a
meeting, and although the members de-
clined to say positively what was done, it
is perfectly understood that the commit

demanded by Corbett. The committee

of San Francisco saying that of the ar

San Francisco about so per cent. were
from Chinese inhabitants. Not 20 per
cent. of the Chinese in California have
been converted to Christianity. A care
ful computation reveals the fact, Perkins
said, that since they began coming to this
country in numbers they have taken or
sent back to China $50, 100000 of Ameri-

Dolph spoke in defense of the Geary
law.
At 3:35 the Clerk of the House appeared

announced his signature TO the bill.
Consideration of the Chinese Exclusion
Act was then resumed. and Squire offered
an amendment appropriating 100000 for
enforcement during the present fiscal
year of the several acts regulating and
prohibiting Chinese immigration, and
addressed the Senate in advocacy.
Frye said the Geary law was a dis

commercially blunder.
Gray attempted to secure unanimous
consent to vote on the pending bill at

No Present Prospect OF Rain-October
Weather Features.
The Weather Bureau reports show the
highest and lowest temperatures yester-
day to have been 63o and 450. with fresh
to brisk northerly winds and partly
cloudy weather prevailing.
AS long as the wind remains fresh from
the northwest and the clouds move from
the southwest there is no danger Of rain
falling in any quantity, enough to dam
age anything exposed to the elements.
The barometrical readings at 3 A. NJ.
and B P. NJ. were 5000 and 30.06 inches,
respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were 70o and 81.
and one year ago to-day ~ and H with
clear weather prevailing.
The following meteorological data
shows the mean or average temperature
and the total precipitation for the month
of October just passed at the Weather
Bureau stations, viz:

There are no reports received at the
Weather Bureau station in Sacramento
from any of the Weather Bureau stations
in the San Joaquin Valley nor Southern
California, but reports of about a week
ago show records of over two inches OF
rain. The autumn storms, which usher
in the wet season, appear TO have made
their appearance first and produced a
greater amount of precipitation In the
extreme northern and extreme south
ern portions of the State, while the
great raisin and fruit belt of the Sacra,

He Returns a Five-Dollar Piece Given
Him by Mistake.
1t is an instance worth recording, as
similar ones are none too plentiful.
A 10-year- old boy named Willie Barber,
who lives on n street near Fifth, was by
mistake given a s. piece by lady yester-
day evening for paper. He did not dis
cover the mistake until he was counting
out his money to his mother. on finding
the gold piece among the nickels he told
her he thought he knew who had given
it to him, and gave it to her to return this
morning.
Shortly afterward the lady, having dis
covered her loss, and thinking she might
have given it to Willie by mistake, sent
to inquire, when Mrs. Barber related the
circumstances and the money was re-
turned. That boy gives promise of be-
coming an honorable citizen.
