UTILIZING THE KAWEAH.
Motive Power to Be Supplied
by Means of a Ditch
From the Stream.
A SERIES OF IMPROVEMENTS.
Irrigation, Railroad Building and
Ice Manufacturing to Be
Commenced.

vISALIA, CAL, Aug. 2.-Articles of in
corporation of the Kaweah Irrigation and
Power Company were fled with the County
Clerk at Visalia to-day. The capital stock
is placed at $780, 900, all of which has been
subscribed. The directors are: Elisha G.
Ware of Chicago, A. G. Wishon of Tulare,
George Hanna of Los Angeles, John A.
Pirtle of Los Angeles and o. g. Ainsworth
of Pasadena.
The purposes for which the corporation
is formed are: First-To deal generally in
water and water rights, and to distribute
water for all purposes. Second-To deal
in land. Third-To develop and furnish
power developed by water, electricity or
other means. Fourth-To construct and
operate electric railroads and electric
plants of all descriptions. Fifth-To carry
on a general manufacturing or merchan-
disc business.
Work will be commenced at once. The
central point in thei contemplated i'm
provements is to be a well-equipped
electric-power plant that will be capable of
supplying 5000 horsepower. This elec-
tricity will be generated by an immense
wheel, probably turbine wheel, operated
by water from the Keweah River. The
water will be taken out four or five miles
above the plant and brought in ditch
twenty feet wide and six feet deep. This
volume of water will have perpendicular
fall of 125 feet from the lower end of the
ditch to the turbine Wheel and will fur
nish the power to be generated into
electricity. The ditch will run through a
tunnel in one place, and through several
hundred feet of solid rock work in other
places. All the water used will be re-
turned to the Kaweah River thus not in
terfering with any kind of water rights.
Ground will be broken at the head of
this ditch in a few days. as the work must
be done by the middle of Septem Der, or
while the Kaweah is at its lowest stage.
Connected with the establishment of
this electric plant is a splendid system of
irrigation. The directors of the company
have secured rights of way for an irrigat-
ing ditch for about twenty two miles, be-
ginning at a point above the mouth of
Horse Creek and extending to the foot
hills opposite Lindsay. This ditch will
irrigate 10000 acres of land. The water
required will not be taken from the
Kaweah River, but wells will be sunk
along the line of the ditch, beginning at
the power-house, and from these the water
will be pumped with power from the
electric plant.
The company also proposes to put in an
ice factory. 1t is known that in Tulare
County alone 2500 tons of ice are annually
consumed at the present high rate. 1t will
manufacture enough to supply this de-
mand, and if satisfactory arrangements
can be made with the Valley Railroad in
the way of rates factory with capacity
of so to 100 tons day will be established.
Another of the projected improvements
is an electric railway from Visalia up the
Kaweah.

CAMP ROACRE LECTURES,
Professor WickSon Discusses
Horticulture in FlOWery
Language.
Good Roads by Professor
Ross.

WRIGHTS, CAL, Aug. 2.-Those who
are unable to visit Camp Roache would
never cease to regret their absence could
they but realize the scope of the institution
which is now being founded. The gather
ing of thoughtful men and women for a
season of serious study accom- panied by a
proper amount of recreation has signifi-
cence which only those actually present
can realize. Visitors are enthusiastic in
all doubt as to the success of the undertak-
ing has long since been banished.
Professor Wickson, in his lecture this
morning on the progress of Horticultural
Art and Industry" rather catered to the
esthetic side of human nature. After
showing the beauties of this industry and
California's adaptability to it he claimed
that the ornamental branches of horticul-
ture are now advancing as never before in
the world history.
THE patronage of flower shows" he
said, ''in at least one hundred Eastern
cities. the prevalence of floral decorations
of the better classes, and the improvement
of home gardens are all significant of the
advance of Horticulture in public favor
besides being the inspiration of the
poet, the ties of the lover, the consolation
of the invalid, the companions of the dead
flowers are now the Joy OF the strong, the
delight of the active.
At the close of the lecture discussion fol-
lowed, and effective steps were taken
toward the organization of a local floral
society.
Professor Ross subject in the afternoon
was 1.-The Farmer as Transporter" en-
bracing the problem of country roads.
He thought the chief reason for country
roads not being up to the economic
standard was because there was no strong
commercial or business interest behind
them and because they could not be i'm
proved to any advantage by individuals
acting as such. He pointed out the many
ways in which bad country roads menaced
society economically and socially and said
their bad condition might be greatly i'm
proved by law compelling the use of
wide tires and providing for constant and
efficient work being done under the super
vision of competent engineers.

BRIDGING THE CHANNEL.
Driving of Piles for the Trestle
Will Be Commenced on
Monday.
OLEANDER MAKES AN OFFER.
VIII Give Free Rights Of Way to
Secure the Competing
Railroad.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 2-The work of
driving piles for the trestle bridge across
Mormon Channel will commence Monday
morning. The piledriver that Contractor
Worthington's force has been constructing
is about completed, and will be ready for
operation by that time.
Chief of Construction Wilbur drove over
the line of the grade thrown up along Tay-
lor street out 10 East, and seemed well sat-
isfied with the way the roadbed had been
made. The graders are pushing the work
as rapidly as possible and have about COM
pleted the grade from the Southern Pacific
Company's tracks on Sacramento street to
East. There is but few more days work
to be done now on the section south of
Mormon Channel, and then the force will
be put to hauling earth on Edison street,
near its junction with that stream.
AS soon as the section the contractors
are now working on is completed, there
will be nothing to hinder the construction
department commencing the laying of the
rails and ties.
Another lot of fishplates and spikes have
arrived by rail. The third locomotive is
expected to reach here Monday. Those
that arrived several days ago have been
tested and found to be in order.
Stocktonians are anxiously awaiting the
opening of the bids for grading the section
between Stockton and the Stanislaus River.
1t is hoped here that some local contractor
will be successful in securing the work.
The city is now crowded with idle men,
who have come here with the expectation

A Crazy Man Surrtres litter Driving a
Nail Into His Head.
TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 2.-Sheriff Bell
of Whatcom County is IN Tacoma to-
night, en- route to the insane asylum at
Steilacom with crazy burglar, Ira Rey-
nolds.
Reynolds, in company with four other
men, committed twenty burglaries in
Whatcom between June L and July 1.
He confessed the crimes, and while in Jail
repeatedly tried to take his life but failed.
A week ago last Tuesday he took an g.
penny nail and placing the end on the top
of his head ran his head against the cell
wall and drove the nail in full length
through skull and brain. 1t was not dis
covered until last Saturday.
When the doctors took the nail out a
quantity of brains came with it. Reynolds
is recovering rapidly, and has been COM
mitted to an insane asylum by the SUI
perior Court of Whatcom County. During
the four days the nail was in his head he
did not open his mouth in complaint.

STRIKE IN GYPSY mine,
An Immense Vein of Paving
Gold Ore Has Been Dis
covered.
Drifts Thought to Yield Several
Hundred Dollars to the
Ton.

SANTA MONICA, CAL, Aug. "a
citizen of this city is in possession of a let
ter from mining friend who has been on
the desert about Mojave prospecting for
some time past, but who is now IN the
Virginia Dale district, about 100 miles
southeast of San Bernardino. which gives
very glowing account of a recent gold
strike in the Gypsy mine.
The small streak of ore, which had been
followed from near the surface, was con-
tinued to depth of sixty feet, when the
ore body suddenly changed to about eight
inches in thickness and of rich, free
milling iron quartz.
At this depth the ore body also grew in
volume both northeast and southwest, and
men were placed at work in both dlrec-
tions, and at the date of the writing of the
letter drifts 25 feet both ways had been
run, and the vein continued to grow in size
and richness.
No assays had been made of the ore up
to that time, but it is believed to be worth
several hundred dollars to the ton.
The recipient OF the latter says there is a

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Aug. 2.-The entire
day at Garfield Park has been devoted to
the Christian Women's Board of Missions.
The morning session was opened with a
prayer-meeting, led by Mrs L. McCray of
Ukiah. Mrs. A. E. Haworth was elected
secretary and Miss Mary Phillips assistant
secretary. Scripture was read and prayer
offered by Miss Phillips of Chico.
After appropriate music Mrs. II. g..
Hartley, the State president, delivered her
annual address. She was often interrupted
by applause.
She had travelled many miles in helping
the local auxiliaries, and believed the
women had every reason to be cheered in
their work, because the two missions in
this State had been so prosperous and be-
cause the best of news came from the mis-
sionaries the Christian women had sent to
heather lands. The women were also en-
dowlng bible chairs at the State University
and at Ann Arbor, Mich. This work
among the students had been greatly in
creased, and was receiving the highest
praise.
Mrs. Matte Proctor of Los Gatos read a
paper on the enlisting of the ladies of the
ties This was discussed in a practical
way by Mrs. Alumbaugh of Vacaville.
Mrs. r. II. Beamer of Woodland fol-
lowed, and convulsed the audience with
her fine hits about the "new woman" and
! witty sallies at the brethren. Mrs. Lou
Jones of San Jose and Mrs. w. r. Grin
stead ably continued the discussion
An original poem, written by Rev. J. Fl.
Hughes of San Jose. was read by Miss
Hartley. Both the reader and poem were
applauded. ''Some Needs of Foreign
Lands" by Miss Alma Patterson, was
read by Mrs. Jones of San Jose. Reports
from Sacramento and Eureka churches
which the Womeps Board is assisting
showed very prosperous condition. Mrs.
H. G.. Hartley closed the morning session
with an eloquent address.
The afternoon session opened with the
report of the State Secretary, Miss Mary
Durham of Irvington. A splendid address
was given by Mrs. w. M. Dickson OF Warm
Springs on Indifference and How Re-
moved" A fine paper was read by Mrs.
Mary Nash of San Francisco on christian

called forth exceptions on the part of the
directors. Among other things it was al
legged that General Murray allowed taxes
to become delinquent, failed to sue on
notes and allowed them to outlaw, did not
keep correct and intelligent books, paid
money to attorneys without authority, etc.
The Judges decision to-day scored MUIR
ray severely in many points. His salary
account is cut in two. and he is ordered to
repay to the directors SLIPS on that account.
The court says its instructions to the re-
ceiver regarding the form of accounts were
plain enough for any person of ordinary
intelligence, and the claim of $14O for ac-
countant is disallowed. Another claim of
$685. for attorneys fees is disallowed, and
after general review of the case Judge
Pierce requires Receiver Murray to repay
to the directors the sum of $1S98.

From Angry CoWntrynsen.
STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 2. - Coroner
Clark was notified tonight that the body
of Chinaman was found floating on the
waters of the San Joaquin, near Bouldin
Island, and he left for that point to hold
an inquest.
Inquiry developed the fact that on Sum-
day afternoon number of Chinese living
near the Georgiana Slough had a fight
over the boundary line of some vegetable
gardens that they were cultivating in that
section.
Knives and pistols were drawn and one
of the Mongolians chased another with a
loaded revolver until the frightened China
man ran into the slough and was drowned.
Since then the men who were instrumental
in causing his death have been dragging
Georgiana Slough in the hope of recover
ing the body.
They were not successful, as the waters
of this slough flow down into the San
Joaquin, near Bouldin Island, and the
body was evidently carried down to that
point and came to the surface to-day

SEARCH FOR A coINERS MINI

Wallace Miller Supposed to Have Oper-
dted a Bogus Money Factory.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. 2.-Search was
made to-day through the house of Wallace
J. Miller, at Coronado, for evidence of
counterfeiting or bogus money on hand,
but nothing of a suspicious nature was
found.
Miller was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Knoles and held in
$500 bonds for examination on charge of
passing counterfeit coin. He could not
obtain bail and returned to the County
Jail.
: Miller's record has been investigated by
detectives, and it was found that some
years ago he was bookkceper OF printing
concern, in which his accounts became
muddled with evidence of something
worse. One night the building burned and
every book was destroyed.
Some time later Miller was employed by
a firm in a confidential capacity, and
claimed to have been waylaid and robbed
of big sum. His bruises were very light
and he soon recovered.
The officers are convinced that Miller is
one of the San Bernardino gang of counter
feiters, and that evidence will be secured
at Coronado to aid in unearthing a big
counterfeiting plant. Miller's wife has
been at the point of death since his arrest,
on account of heart trouble.

an appropriate dedicatory address and
President Brewington of the School Board
gave the keys of the building to Principal
Cushman, who, in few words invited the
large crowd to inspect the building.
About year ago the citizens of Wat
sonville voted $4,000 bonds for the erec-
tion of a new high-school building. The
trustees purchased four-acre site in the
heart of the city, and thereon the hand
some structure to-day dedicated was built.
1t contains ten rooms, and is considered
one of the handsomest in this section OF
the State from an architectural standpoint,
and is provided with the latest improve
mentS,
