STORY ABOUT MR.. HEBBARD.

Sol Miller in the Troy Chief has this to
say Of j. G. Hebbard, the statistician and
news paper man who died this week.
owe first knew Mr. Hebhard ia the years
before the war, from 1898 to 1861. He,
with other eastern people, took claim
near albany, Nemaha county and they
put in several winters getting out saw-logs
for fencing. GA Rush Island near W hite
Cloud. During these times he was fire.
QuentIy in town. and haunted the Chief
Office, sitting for hours reading the eX-
changes. and would generally carry
away pocket full that he had solicited.
Sometimes these papers would contain
items that we wished TO print in the
Chief. and we would suggest that we
could cut them ont without interfering
with matter shat he desired But he
seemed TO have q superstitious aversion
to paper with piece cut oui. and
would stoutly object, even declining 20
take the paper rather than take it with
hole in it."

An Interesting Project.

An interesting work of reclamation is now
under way on the Mojave plains, or desert,
along the Mojave river in California. It is
north Of the mountains In San Bernardino
county. The diversion Of the water will be
accomplished by novel plan. 1t will be
done, we are informed, by means Of box
fiume extending dingonally across the river
bed for distance Of 800 feet; the bottom
Of this box-fume is IA feet below the surface.
The bed of the river ut this point consists of
gravel and sand-largely gravel-and this Is
underlaid with clay formation, which Is
from Is to 2S feet below the surface-an aver
age OF about 25 feet. This entire body OF
gravel and sand, 25 feet thick by 1000 feet
wide, Is full of water, and as the river bed
has fall Of 10 feet to the mile, and as tho
river bed is always full of water with stream
flowing on the surface at all seasons OF the
year, and rs the water shed above this point
consists OF about 400, 900 acres of mountains,
with an elevation of from 5000 to 1900 feet,
and n further area OF foothlll territory, coy-
ering about 100000 acres, the underfow OF
the river at this point must be very great
This is evidenced also by the fact that the
Mojave river at point 40 miles above these
headworka has surface flow In midsummer
Of about 1O,0OO to $4,000 inches. To secure
this entire flow of water sheet pile dam is to
be put down extending ocross the river just
below the box-fume and reaching down To
the clay formation. This will shut on tho
underflow and force the entire current into
the box-1ume and from thence into the canal.
Water power, railroads to the neighboring
iron mines, town sites and other agencies OF
development are talked of In connection with
the project.-Irrigdtion Age.
