That Populist Circular.

1t has just come to my knowledge that a
circular is being distributed among you,
the object being to influence your vote
against Hon. Henry Mcbride in the COM
ing election for superior judge of this ju-
dicial district. This lowest Of the low
methods, resorted to by low lived, can
call them persons-nay villians-is cause
to raise the righteous indignation of a lib
erty loving people. / believe the Ameri-
can people are just, and when an honest
citizen has been maligned, and that by a
political party which is so void of principle
that no individual member of it would
dare put his name to the false statements
it makes, every good citizen should con-
denim it. Fellow citizens, the whole
truth in regard to the rediStricting of this
state for judicial purposes is this. The
last legislature tried to decrease our
expense account and among other items
it was found that justice could be meetei
out to our citizens by five judges less in
this state, thereby decreasing our taxation
$l5,OOU year, and in order to dispose of
these five judges, it became necessary to
redistrict the state, and as the counties
pay one halfOf the judges salary, and in
order to make the burthens equal on all
the people, the assessment of the several
the districts were formed. And as it was
found that the assessment OF WhatcOm
county for 1894, was 50, 2l6, $50, that What
com county Yves able to pay her own
judge, and as Snohomish county wanted
to be attached to another county than
Skagit, and as San Juan county must be
attached somewhere, and as we had our
choice to 60 to Jefferson and C1allam
counties, with al assessment of less than
q, 500, 600 and Q gradual decrease in their
assessment, or become attached to Skagit
with an assessed valuation of e, OOO, 600 Of
taxable property, and as our pro rata Of
the judges salary was less with Skagit
than it would have been with Jefferson
and Clallsm counties, deemed that you
would prefer TO be attached to Skagit
county, and claim that no blame should
attach to any one. Herbert Conner and
myself deemed it to be to the best interests
Of Skagit and San Juan counties and all
our people, that we be united for judicial
purposes. We asked the legislature to
unite us-and it was dOne-and if any
blame is to attach to any one. in the name
of honest men put it where it should be, at
the door of HI. s. Conner and John L. Muir
ray, and do not blame Judge Mcbride,
who is as innocent as an unborn babe, and
when any man, or set of men, say that
Judge Mcbride had any thing to do with
the legislation in this bill, he is a liar viii
liam and the truth is not in him.

SANTA BARBARA'S WATER.
A Fine Flow Is Struck in the
Tunnel Being Bored for
the City.
Every Indication That the Supply Will
Be Permanent-The Residents
Are Delighted.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Sept. 81
The tunnel being bored by Charles Hard
ing, under contract to the City Council,
and Tor the purpose of simplifying the
water supply of Santa Barbara, to-day at
a depth of 700 feet made rich strike, en-
tering water-bearing sandstone from
which the water jets out in streams. As
the flow is found at the sides and bottom
of the tunnel, it is regarded as of a perma.
nent character, it being well-established
fact among those who make a study of
developing water that flows obtained from
the roofs of tunnels soon dry out. This
tunnel is now 700 feet into the very core of
the Santa Ynez Range, and is being bored
at an altitude of about 1900 feet. The for
nations tapped have so far been for the
most part a hard blue sandstone forma-
ton, with now and then streak of shale
or blue clay, but the excavation is now
evidently entering an important natural
reservoir perpetually sustained by living
springs. So far a total flow of thirteen
inches has been obtained, but the shrink
| age from surface flows reduces it to the
| present supply, which is regarded by the
engineers as permanent
| The developments of the next few feet
! will be watched with intense interest, as
! every blast is considered likely TO add ma
! terlally to the flow. Mr.. Barkers tunnel,
which is situated a mile below this in the
same canyon, is now in $50 feet, and is be-
iieved to have a permanent flow of FIVE
| inches. These two sources OF supply COM
bined appear to exceed the present total
water supply of the city. Some of the
residents In the upper part OF the town
are suffering severely for water, deep
bore wells which have supplied some OF
the finest residences having gone dry, while
the water flowing through the water COM
pany's pipes is inadequate for the
needs of those who depend upon it, so
that some of Santa Barbara's choicest gar
dens are parched and fading.
The water company has corps OF men
at work across the range preparing for the
construction of the great reservoir, which
is to impound the waters of the Santa
Ynez to be conveyed by tunnel through
the mountain range; but this is a work of
great magnitude, which will require for
its completion years of lime and millions
of dollars of capital. and meantime these
more modest efforts to increase the present
supply are hailed with gratitude by suf-
fering people.

FOUL FIGHTING.
Referee Wilson AtUards Contest to
Rna,a BecaAse of Smith, Unfa&rness.

Referee Wilson AtUGrds q Contest to
Ryan Because of Smiths U1fdSrness.
ASTORIA, ORE, Sept. 3.-The largest
crowd that ever assembled in this city to
witness boxing contest was present to-
night at the eight-round bout between
mysterious Billy Smith of Boston and
Jim Ryan of Australia.
The match was at catch weights, the
winner to take the entire purse of $500.
This amount was guaranteed by a number
of sport-loying Astorians, who put up the
money as a speculation and were reim-
bursed out of the admission fees.
Smith weighed 143 pounds and Ryan
1874 The former was evidently the more
rugged and in better condition. Ryan e
recent sickness having pulled him down
considerably.
Ryan was seconded by Jim Heating,
Professor Spencer and Jack Hill, while
Tim McGrath and 'Shadow" Hoyt acted
in like capacity for Smith. Jack Wilson,
formerly of the Fifth Artillery, otficiated
as referee, and Pete Grant, G. Trullinger
and Jack Feline as timekeepers.
Time was called at 1905, and not a
moment was lost in sparring. Smith was
generally on the aggressive, although Ryan
occasionally varied the proceedings with
rush.
There were many fouls committed by
Smith, and he was again and again eau
toned. In the third round, after Smith
had been frequently warned by the ref
cree, the spectators arose almost in body
with cries of Foul" and the police were
ordered to stop the fight unless fouling
would be discontinued. Smith then
agreed to break away when ordered, with.
out striking, and the fight continued.
| The fourth. fifth and sixth rounds were
characterized by clean inhghting, but In
the seventh the referee again cautioned
| Smith.
He persisted in fouling, however, and
the fight was given to Ryan. Smith al
once struck the referee, who Immediately
| retaliated with straight left on Smiths
| mouth and followed him into his corner
with view to swinging his right. The
police again stepped into the ring anc
stopped further disturbance. The sym
| pathies of the crowd were generally with
Ryan On account of his fairness.
