A Story Applied.

A certain man, supposed to be big
bug heard Of prophet. The "big
bug was diseased, With camels and
servants, and gold and silver, with
big chariots ne proceeded to this
prophet He wanted to be cured, in
big way. The prophet said, $50
nathe sometimes in Jordan" Mo-
No said the "big bug" "That will
not 90, | am one OF your big fellows
and demand big bug treatment"
One of his servants suggested that if
the prophet had advised some big
treatment the "big bug would have
readily accepted. The fMlow got the
dea,' did as was.suggcsted and was
hoa.ed, "bathed in Jordan. y
Some "big bugs" in Waco seem to
think free wagon yard TOO small a
thing for merchants, bankers and lead
ing men in Waco to tackle. No! No.
we all ought to deal in attitudes, lat
tudet, platitudes and dig into the rays
of the sun and see how much salt Is
there Waco needs business and if
high sounding thing could be started
that would bring one.fourth as much
trade to Waco as the free wagon yard
some Of these big bugs would be on
fire any time. The pale light of a
Pickering moon beam would strike
them Ever since the great smallpox
scare in Waco, and since the electric
cars have taken all our principal streets
Waco has been looslng her retail
trade. Ten years ago Waco received
$1,000 bales If cotton, last year about
900. What become of the $4,000
by wagons Oh, you say, eve have
more railroads, more towns" Yes
and we have proportionately more
people to feed and make living in
Waco and more people to plant and
grow cotton,
We must offer something in lieu Of
all these things Railroads alone vii
not bring our trade back to US.
Hundreds of little things must b.
done. The free wagon yard Will d'
more than any other one thing, lie

THE PRESTON SCHOOL.
SENATORS AND ASSEMBLYAIEN ON
4 TRIP TO lone.
The Building About Ealf Finished
Another Appropriation Asked
FORA Good Time.

Most Of the Senators and Assembly,
men, accompanied by their families and
friends, went to lone yesterday on a
special train to visit the Preston Reform
School, in course of construction at that
place. The party occupied five cars,
there being about 300 of them, and jolly
party it was, too.
The excursion was gotten up by Sena-
tor VOORHEES, and Assemblyman Sargent
Of Amador County, who have duplicate
bills before the Legislature for an appro-
priatiOn of S250,000 for the completion and
maintenance of the institution.
The train pulled out Of the depot at
$3.50 a. NJ. and arrived at lone shortly be-
fore noon. 1t was an enjoyable trip, ow-
ing to the splendid weather. At lone the
people turned out en- masse to receive the
guests, in the usual hospitable mining
town style. The visitors were taken in
carriages to the reformatory, so that it
could be thoroughly inspected. A grand
view OF the valley was had from the hill
on which the building stands. The guests
were dined at the Commercial Hotel
about 1880 O'clock.
The visitors left for home at $3.50 O'Clock
and arrived in Sacramento shortly before
o'clock.
At the lone depot, just before the train
| lett there were some informal speeches
Senator NOorhies acted as master Of
ceremonies and introduced ex-senator
Preston, who proposed the measure,
authorizing the construction Of the re-
formatOry. The Senator reviewed the
history OF the building since the passage
of his bill. and said he hoped the present
Legislature would authorize its compile
ton, Senator Martin, Assem- blymen
Thomas Of ofNeyada, Taylor. Miller, Schles-
niger, McElroy and Kennedy, and
Jud Q. Brusie, who formerly lived in
lone, all made speeches. The legislators
! promised the people of lone that they
would see that the necessary appropria-
! ton was made.
| The bill authorizing the purchase of q
| suitable site and the erection of the
| school was passed in 1889, the appropria-
| ton being 100000 Congressman Cami-
| netti, who was then-n the State Senate,
| had much to do with the success of the
measure. Considerable delay was met
with by the State Prison Directors owing
| to trouble in getting a site with a suitable
| water supply. This difficulty was finally
| overcome by b. Isaacs, who operates an
! extensive ditch system in this part Of the
| county, and then work commenced. The
| building as it now stands is almost half
| finished. The walls are all up and the
| tloorings, stairways, etc, are in place,
but the lathing, plastering and interior
work in general has yet to be done. 1t is
a beautiful structure, built of lone red
stone and pressed brick. All who saw iU
expressed themselves as being highly
pleased with it.

A LIVELY LOT.
An Example of Political Appointees In
Health Departments.

An Example of Political Appofntees in
Health departments.
The Sanitarian New York; has the fol-
lowing:
Hon. Andrew D. White, at a meeting of
sanitary association some years ago,
read paper of which the following is a
part:
1T is" he said, "now about five years
since, with two other members of our
State Senate, 1 visited this city New
York., and sat here in the commission
for examining into certain branches of
the city ADMINISTRATION, and especially
inuo the conduct of that branch which
had charge of the public health. The
state of things revealed was such as could
only exist under great and widespread
ignorance on the part of citizens of the
first principles of sanitary science. To
give an idea of this ignorance let me re-
call, as nearly as | can, little episode in
the investigation.
ut happened that the late Judge Whit
ing, who had charge of the investigation
on the part of the Citizens Association,
put on the stand young physician who
testified that the health officers. or ward
ems, or inspectors, were men utterly ig-
norant OF the first principles relating to
the public health which they were ap-
pointed to preserve. In order to refute
tIIS JLI6 nbdu vi ln6 department
at the time brought on the stand. in per-
feet good faith, several of these health
officers.
Toward the close of the examination
of the first of these gentlemen Judge
Whiting asked this question: Did YOU
have a case of smallpox in your ward?'
and he answered, Yes, sir Judge Whit
ing-'Did you visit the patient?' Wit
ness-'No, SIR Judge Whiting-'Why
not?' Witness-'For the same reason
that you would not-that l was afraid of
taking it MYSELF Judge Whiting-'Did
the family have any care?' Witness
Yes, sir; they were highjinnicks (hygi-
enicsl; they doctored themselves
AS the other witnesses came in Judge
Whiting used this as a sort of test uues-
tomas a sort of key to unlock the svs-
tenn, and show the utter ignorance that
prevailed in every department of it.
Every witness was asked-'Well, have
you any highjinnicks in your ward?'
Some of the witnesses thought they had,
some thought they had not, some thought
they had them prettily badly some
thought they had them in some parts of
the ward some thought they had them
in other parts of the ward.' At last the
Judge asked witness who had been an
swering his question in this way-sDo
you know what the word bighiinnicks
means?' apd he replied, Yes, sir, do!

out the Sacramento and those portions of
the san Joaquin Valley now affected by
the usurpation of its lower river course
by floods from the Sacramento. All the
islands and mainland margins of the San
Joaquin delta are imminently subject to
this danger. The immediate effect of the
Montezuma Channel would be to enter
tain and conduct with ease a rushing
stream during floods, and to uncover at
the earliest moment after subsistence of
instant flood causes the western margin
of overflow south of the mouth of
Feather River; tentatively, to relieve
the overhowed country between the
American and Feather, Feather and Sac
ramento and the upper western over
flowed margin OF the last-named, and to
insure to every portion of the valley the
entire practicability of reclamation by
natural warpage and reasonable auxil-
iary drains and levees. All these con-
ditions would result from the instant and
complete protection of the San Joaquin
River channel and the salvation of the
Sacramento by reason of the Hontezunld
relief channel alone.
Tentatively" we said of the effects of
the Montezuma Channel on land recla-
nation, for much would remain to be
done in that regard to draw out all the
possible advantages to be derived from
its construction. Its effect upon navi-
gable streams and upon certain lands
within direct and unobstrueted scope of
the natural gradient at its head draft on
the tule belt in Solano and Yolo Counties
would be instant. However, its great
promise to the lands of the valley in gem
eral would be of a sure basis for subse-
quent improvement sure i0dy to do
things to ddUdntage.
Even its most immediate beneficiary,
the western margin below the Feather,
would have something more to do to un-
cover the sinks" of Cache and Putah
Creeks. Yet, with the Montezuma Chan
mel to draw, it can surely be done. So it
is everywhere i'll the valleys. For the
necessary side reliefs of the Sacramento
into the western tule belt would operate
to restrain overflow on the east and rap
idly to dispose of surplus floods from the
north and northeast. Everywhere the
