CANYADA WATER CONTROVERSY.
The peace and quiet of the pretty little
town of La Canyada is again disturbed
BY dissension and strife, or at least con-
siderable indignation is manifested on
the part of those who are to be cinc5ei.
while they seem to have no redress.
About two-thirds of the stock in the La
Canyada Water company is owned by ].
L. Lanterman, the remainder being
owned by the ranchers and consumers OF
water in the valley, about one-third OF
the area of the valley being supplied
from this source. Heretofore it has been
the rule tnat water for domestic use was
supplied for couple of hours each day,
but now that Mr.. Lanterman has the
board with him. they have ordered that
after the LIST of May water for all pur-
- n no a n ~ M q mn m
less the consumer can make arrange
ments with the zanjero. AS matter of
course this could not fail to work a grea
hardship to the consumers OF water, who
will be obliged, if this order goes into
effect, to build storage reservoirs of suffi-
ply.

BREVITIES.
It is said that there is a club about to
be organized in Pasadena, the society to
be formed of old maids and old bachelors.
and the principal requirement of each
that they solemnly swear that they will
not enter into the holy bonds of matri-
mony with any party outside the club. 1t
is to be secret society. and it is SAID to
be built upon the ashes of another SINH
lar oranization which died a natural
death for the sim pie reason that such a
large number of its mem bers graduated
from Its ranks into matrimony. At least
this seems to be the inducement held out
to the candidates for mem bership, and no
douot it will secure a large number, if
mum bers are wanted.
