llmantic and State Attorney John L,
Hunter of Wllhmantic were in New
Haven yesterday in consultation with
the judges Of the supreme court in
reference to the affairs OF the Dime
Savings bank OF Willimantic. There
had been plans to secure an injunction
to restrain the receiver OF the bank
from paying out deposits to depositors
at the expiration of the ninety days
notice, and 1t is supposed the three
men came here having in view the Sc
curing of the injunction. But plans on
this line were not carried out, and after
consultation with the judges State At
torney Hunter said that they had de-
cided to go back to Willimantic and
call meeting OF the stockholders of
the bank and elect more trustees.
after which the bank directors will
be reorganized and new officers chosen.
Mr.. Hunter said he thought the bank
would be placed on sound basis and
continue TO run. He said the bank
examiner has said that the bank is per-
feotly solvent.
ANOTHER CYCLE PLANT FOR con-
NECllCOI.
Hartford, July 19.-It Is more than
probable that the Western Wheel works,
one of the largest bicycle manufac-
tories In the world, will shortly estab-
| lish factory in Connecticut. Mr.. Cole
man, the president, and Mr.. Undzigger,
the treasurer Of the company, were in
the city later In consultation with AL
| derman A. Kennedy Child. the secre-
tary Of the national board Of trade
of cycle manufacturers, and together
they inspected the building of the Colts
| Patent Firearms company, known as
the western armory, with a view of ex-
aiming the adaptabllity Of the build
| ing for their purposes.
| Mr.. Coleman said that he had not
yet made up his mind as to whether
the place would suit him, but his first
| impression Is that there is not sufficient
space for the plant his company In
tends to run. 1t Is Mr.. Coleman's inten-
| ton to make a tour of other manufac-
turing towns In the state, and If he
finds the place that suits him, he will
| probably start business at mo distant
date.

An Immense and Long-Neglected
Region Beyond the TehachipI
Attracting Capital.

One of the least known portions of Cali
fornia may be found in that extensive
mountain territory along the borders of
Kern and Los Angeles counties which is
known on the map as Antelope Valley.
Although the Southern Pacific crosses it,
all that the traveller sees is a level stretch
dotted with sagebrush and giant yuccas.
Nevertheless, the 100 square miles in
cluded in this upland valley, 2600 feet
above the sea, includes great deal of
valuable soil and has many potential re-
sources.
Leaving Los Angeles on the night train
four hours northward travel brings one to
the new station of Palmdale, the supply
point for groups of colonies on the south
ern side of the valley both east and west of
the railroad. Palmdale is a struggling
pioneer village, with store, hotel, school
house and a few dwelling-houses all
cheaply built, as must needs be when lum-
Der costs $50 a thousand. The little hotel
was so crowded on my arrival that it car
ried my recollections back to pioneer expe-
riences in San Luis Obispo at the season
when the sheepherders descend in force
and take possession of whole district.
Two miles east of the station is another
Palmdale, the old colony settlement, a
little more mature, but hardly less primi-
tive. Here there are irrigated orchards
and gardens, however, and quite prosper
Gus community has established itself on
the edge of yucca forest. Driving across

secured a good deal of land, have abundant
means and evidently plan for railroad con-
neetionS.
The only irrigation possibilities of any
consequence on the north side of the val
ley are from Cottonwood Creek, which is
expected to develop an irrigation district
covering about twelve sections, and Oak
Creek of eight or ten sections.
The most interesting irrigation develop
ment in the valley. however, is on Little
Rock and Big Rock creeks which lie east
of Palmdale. A description of the former
will serve for both groups as the soil is
similar and the prospects of both groups
seem very satisfactory. The Little Rock
colonies begin seven miles southeast of
Palmdale station. The entire group is
known as the TERRA Bonita Colonies of the
Little Rock Creek irrigation district An
abundant water supply, well reservoired
for present needs, and with good sites for
larger future reservoirs, is supplied first to
Little Rock colony, then to Alpine Springs
colony, Vallecltos colony, A1viso colony
and Hermosillo colony. In Little Rock is
the present town center, the postoffice and
hotel, known as the Guest House. This
Guest House is very attractive building of
rubble and cement. The channel of Little
Rock Greek could furnish powders enough
to construct all the houses in the colony
