force tearing up large NUN
Der OF young orange. trees and
burying others in the mud and sand. A
field of grain which was just coming up
was almost totally destroyed, part of it
being washed up and the rest buried.
The tracks OF the Terminal were washed
out for considerable distance, although
it is almost mile away from the reser-
voir, showing tho force of the water
even at that distance. The break oo-
Cured in the south side of the reservoir
and was about 10 feet wide, extending
to the entire depth OF the reservoir.
The whole piece must have fallen out
at cnce causing frightful rush Of water.
The reservoir ia new one, being
built only last summer for the purpose
Of furnishing irrigating water for the
many young orange orchards in the vi
cinity, and it is mystery what caused
it to give away.
The recent rains, however, must have
injured the earth embankment, which
was perhaps not properly made in the
first place, which, combined with the
large amount of water, caused the acct
dent.
The ranches of Messrs. McNally and
Randall were the largest sufferers, both
losing large number of orange treas.
TwENTY-E1aHT SHOW UP.
Only 2S men who are willing to work
six hours day in return for food and
shelter have 30 far shown up at the
headquarters opened by the city for the
benefit of the unemployed. This is
quite q difference from the 100 odd
tramps which made headquarters at the
Gospel Union when that hospitable in
stitution was furnishing free accommoda
tions.
The scheme go far is working admira-
bly,. and the city is being rapidly freed
from the crowd of tramps and hoboa
which have been infesting it.
Only few days ago gang OF 70 ar
rived here, having heard that a free
soup house had been opened. When
informed by the marshal that there
were six hours work a day attached to
the soup a general howl went around
and the procession struck out for greener
pastures.
A policeman is on duty both day and
night at the headquarters, who keeps q
strict register of all applicants and see
that they are put to work at something.
Most of them seem to be honest work
ingmen out of employment, only one
being found begging later and he is in
the lookup awaiting trial for vagrancy.
Two meals day are served, one OF the
men acting as cook.
The establishment is being managed
very economically, and the plan prom
ises to be success.
