An old negro woman named Bet
tie Blackwell, died on the Gar.itas
this week at very advanced age.
Bette was born a slave in Virginia
and she claims to be about 112
years of age. She says that at the
age of eleven years she saw the
British ships in the Potomac at
the time they invaded this country
and sacked and burned Washington
and also bombarded Fredericks.
burg. AS these we'll known events
occurred in 1923, Bette could not
have been 112 years of age at the
time of her death if she was eleven
years of age at the time of our last
war with Great Britain. She was
verp old woman, however, and
had probably reached 90 or a.,
She had lived long past the time
usually allotted to poor mortals

changes in this country since the
day when the British burned our
national capitol during the presi-
dency of James Madison. Victoria

PASADENA, June 21.-One OF the d.
rectors of the Lake Vineyard Water COM
pany, which supplies the major portion of
the water used in Pasadena, said this
morning, in speaking of the agitation in
favor of having the reservoirs covered,
that the directors did not feel justified in
going to such an expense, even if the
work could be done at this season, when
the demand for water is so great that the
reservoirs could not be enptied for the
purpose OF doing the work. LII says that
out OF fifty-three water companies in va
rious cities of the state, the reports of
which are in the Office of the company
here, very few of them have covered res
ervoirs, ana that the water furnished to
Pasadena citizens is far better than the
average.
However that may be, if the waite r
would be improved by covering the reser-
voirs--and this all will admit would
be the part of wisdom to roof them over
and use every precaution to maintain the
water as nearly in its original purity as
possible. There is not better or purer
water supply in the state than that which
comes to Pasadena from the pure, spark
ling springs of the Sierra Madre range,
and as it never sees they'll htIofsday until
it reaches the large reservoir which sup
lies the city, if this were properly COW
cred to geep it from the direct rays of the
sun, no city could boast of purer water
than that served to Pasadena citizens.
One of the directors of the company says
If the stockholders (who are the water
-consumers) want the reservoir covered,
let them call meeting and assess tn
stock. and thus raise the money to cover
them; for the directors have no money
with which TO do the work.
