Bonds-Exports.
EscoND1Do, Feb. 9.-At the meeting of the di-
rectors of the irrigation district, on the 9th,
three bids were received for the bonds, two
being conditioned upon the bidders receiving
the contract of putting in the entire system,
one OF them being a 9O-cent bid, the other 9I
cents. The third was a 90-cent cash bid for the
bonds, conditioned upon the giving OF a trust
deed to the ditch line, reservoir and the whole
property which is outside the district, the
bonds covering everything inside its limits.
This would give the district $225,000 with
which to proceed with the work. All these
bids were referred to committee, which is to
report March 9th. Meanwhile bids are to be
advertised for on the whole system.

Scenes About Brentwood i'm the

How did we happen to meet the great
writer. John Ruskin. you ask and to
spend morning at his home on the Eng
ish lakes?
Well, l will tell you. We had been
tramping for week over that rarest gem
of beauty, the English lake district.
From Ambleside we decided to make a
side trip of nine miles TO Brentwood, the
picturesque home of Ruskin, on Coniston
Lake.
The day previous we had been caught in
terrible storm. coming over the pass
near the Langdale Pixies. and our appear
auce was certainly very trampifed.
1t was about sunset when we arrived at
the secluded mock which shelters Ruskin's
home. overlooking the beanteous waters Of
Coniston, and guarded on all sides by
mountains, not too lofty or too rough.
We had stopped a few moments to rest
and to enjoy the twilight loneliness, when
we introduced ourselves to a passing gen.
tleman to inquire the way. Our talk natur-
ally drifted to the greatest living English
author, in whose shadow we then were.
The stranger told US much about the old
man. his daily life and pleasures. Per-
