The Water Does More Good Than Harm in
California.
BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Feb. n.-Unusually
heavy rains in the San Joaquin valley and
in the mountains have swoll en- the streams
to an abnormal size and Thursday night
the Kern river overfiowed its banks. food
ing largo section of country In this vioin-
ity. At first it was thought the damage
done was considerable. but no lives were
lost and not much damage was done except
to railroads canals and bridges. all Of
which settled or gave way. 1t is difficult to
get particulars of the damage from tho
country below, but the general opinion is
that, with the exception of railroad and
canal companies, the flood will do more
good than harm.
The river apparently has changed its
course and if this is 80 there will be a
scramble for new water locations and the
Kern County Land company, which con-
trolls all of the present water rights, may
lose its monopoly. Bakersfield is not IN
jured at nil by the watertlow. Few people
left their dwellings and only in one case
did the water enter house.

HAYES had for neighbor in Ohio testy
old fellow who ran small truck farm. He
was honest and upright, and Mr.. Hayes
held him in high esteem, Notwithstanding
his lack of social amenities aud respect for
persons. On one of his visits to Ohio dur
the Presidency, says the Detroit Free Press.
he passed the old mans farm and found
him planting potatoes in patch near the
road. The President being somewhat of
farmer, himself, noticed some peculiarly III
his neighbours style Of planting, and after 4"
few minutes chat, he called attention to it,
and the old man argued the point awhile.
"Arter all" concluded the President, 81
don't think you are doing it as it should he
done for the best results"
The old farmer rested his arm on the
fence and looked steadily at Mr.. Hayes.
"They amt neither one of us" he said,
"above havin fault found with us; but eff

WALpINo, KINNAN 8 MARvIN, y

General Jubal A. Early, referring ia
the speech of Mr.. John S. Wise to a Re-
publican club in New York, in which Mr..
Wise said that General Lee had declared
shortly after the close of the war that the
FIRST duty of every American was allegi-
Snce to the old flag and federal govern
ment," said that Mr. Wise had grossly mis-
quoted General Lee. General Early said
that General Lee had fought most heroical-
ly for the principle that a citizens first duty
was TO his State, in which he firmly believ-
ed, and that he would have been the last
man to have stultifed himself by making
such declaration to his comrades in arms
directly after the surrender.
