regarded as even more marvellous than the
Eads ietties erected at the mouth of the
Mississippi.
Another matter of the greatest import
ance to the State with which Colonel Mem
dell has of late years been closely identi-
fed has been the improvement OF the in
ternal navigable waters of the State and
the development of plan for operating
the hydraulic mines without Impairment
to navigable streams. In the latter work
he has been associated with Lieutenant
Colonel w. III. Benyaurd and Major W. II.
Heuer. These three officers constitute
the Debris Commission, organized under
the Caminettl act, to regulate mining by
the hydraulic process. OF this commits
sion Colonel Mendell is president.
Despite the magnitude of his official
duties Colonel Mendell has found time
and inclination once in while to serve
the public in private capacity. He was
chief of the Water Supply Commission
appointed in 1877, during the time A. ].
Bryant was Mayor. The commission made
an exhaustive report on the various
sources of water supply available for this
City. His associate on that commission
was Colonel Isaac Smith, now engineer of
the water works supply of the city of Port
land, Or.
Last year Colonel Mendell was asso-
ciated with Professor George Davidson ON
the commission appointed to report plan
for the disposition of the sewage of San
Francisco. Like the report of the Com
mission on Water Supply, the work of the
Sewage Commission was of great value to
this community.
After retirement from active service it is
not unlikely that the veteran officer will
settle down here with his wife and three
sons, who have been born and reared here.
Who will be Colonel MendelPs sue
cessor? is a question that has been dis
turbing the gossips, and it has been the
subject of speculation among them ever
since the Colonel's coming retirement was
announced. TALIEsIN EVANS.

COLONEL MENDELL'S
~ Years of Service.
BY TALIESIN EVANS.

Next month will mark the close of forty
two years continuous active service In the
Engineer Corps of the United States army
by Colonel George H. Mendell, now the
officer in charge of the engineering works
conducted by the United States Govern
ment on the Pacific Coast. This distin-
guished officer will then be placed on the
retired list at the age of 63. OF this long
period of service to the Federal Govern
ment twenty-seven years will have been
spent by the retiring veteran on this coast.
He came here in 1868 from New Bedford,
Mass, to take place in the United States
Board of Engineers for the Pacific Coast.
As such he was associated with General B.
s. Alexander, who was president of the
board, and Colonel C. Seaton Stewart.
General Alexander died in 1879 and the
board was then abolished, Colonel Mendell
becoming thereafter engineer in charge by
virtue of seniority in rank. Colonel Stew
art is now on the retired list and is resid-
ing in comfort on a retired officers pay at
Cooperstown, N. Y.
Although the larger part of Colonel
MendeIl's life as an officer of the United
States army has been spent in this City in
the development of important engineering
works for the defense of San Francisco har-
Dor and the greater convenience OF Pacific
Coast com merce the preceding fifteen years
of his army career were fuller of thrilling
incident and active experience, because they
embraced the period covered by the War
of the Rebellion. Throughout that long
strife he was in active service in the field
under General Duane and he distinguished
himself to such degree that when the
important duty of planning and erecting

fortunately for CALIFORNIA; well-being, her
commercial development has been largely
retarded by Congressional parsimony, and
the operations of the Federal engineer in
charge of these river and harbor improve
ments have been happered very often in
consequence.
. The more important harbor improve
ments in this State which have been con-
Quoted directly under Colonel Mendelps
direction have been at Oakland and Will
mington. The latter is the port of entry
for Los Angeles and the region tributary
to it. These two Improvements have been
the most important, because they have
involved the expenditure OF the larger
sums of money, have covered a greater
period of time in their development and
have produced the most notable results.
The improvement of Wilmington harbor
was begun in 1871. At that time Los An
geles had population under 10000 and
very little commerce OF any kind. The
tidal slough or estuary now known as
Wilmington harbor opened on the ex-
posed roadstead of San Pedro, which Dana
made famous in his story, 1.-TWO Years
Before the Mast" as one of the points on
the California coast at which, in his sea-
faring days, the hide droghers called for
cargoes of hides, horns and tallow. When
the work of harbor Improvement was
begun under Colonel Menden there was
only one foot of water at low tide on the
bar which crossed the mouth of the estuary
from Deadman Island to the mainland at
the old embarcadero of San Pedro, and the
beach between Deadman Island and Rat
tlesrake Island was high and dry at low
tide. The improvement of the harbor con-
sisted OF the construction of a breakwater
joining Rattlesnake and Deadman islands
and the dredging of the bar. Now there is
a depth of about IA feet of water on the

FOR A $4,000 ESTATE.
Mrs. de Campos and Her Step-Children
Battling in the Probate
Court.

Joaquin de Campos decided to his four
children $4,000 estate shortly before he
died last month. The children are Marian,
Henry, John and Manuel de Campos.
Mrs. Bridget de Campos, the widow, who
is a step-mother to the children, received
no benefit from the deeds, so yesterday she
produced a will conveying the greater
portion of the property to her.
Now there will be court battle for the
property, the widow and her will against
the children and their deeds.
The will is dated May 81, 1889. While
Mrs. de Campos is made the principal
beneficiary the children are the residuary
legatees. The estate, according to the
widows petition, consists of s75 in cash, a
house and lot at 1856 Geary street worth
$1,000, lot on Wood street worth $4,000 and
100 acres OF land in San Benito County
worth $500.

condition. Cottage residents requiring med
ieal treatment are attended at their homes by
the resident physician. Nearly 800 saddle
horses, the property of lepers, may be seen
grazing about the plain. Trials of speed are
of frequent occurrence, and the event eagerly
watched by the entire population. An abund-
ant supply of fresh, wholesome food is pro-
vided and issued at frequent intervals. Every
man. woman and child may draw twenty-one
pounds of fresh beef every week, liberal sup
ply of taro -four or bread, rice, tea, sugar, SALT
tobacco and matches, and as much good cloth

to those who do not draw the full ration, which
enables them to purchase articles not included
in the regular supply.

ture of leprosy, as they are not yet fully un-
derstood. will add, however, that it is known
to be parasitic disease, as leper bacillus has
been discovered. Attempts to inoculate the
lower animals have always failed. II never

ways be traced to human agent. The history
of its development and course in the Hawaiian
Islands affords most conclusive evidence of
its being CONTAGIOUS. In almost every instance
q history of exposure could be obtained, but it
would appear that in leprosy, as in other con-
tagious diseases, the system had to be in re-

remained "clean" during an exposure of many
years, then contracted it and persisted.
MILAN SoULE, MD.
P.S. The invariable presence of baciln in
the tissues of the differentiated form, and the
fact that the prevalence of leprosy in Norway
has been diminished so per cent in twenty
years by strict segregation, are circumstances
which are also in favor of the theory that this
disease is always conveyed by prolonged con-
tact and associatio n with leprons people.
