YIoToR REsERyoIR SCHEME.

A Gigantic Project Which Promtses
Mach for San Bernurdino.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, April 3d.
The great Victor reservoir project made a
forward movement to-day.
Four years ago the scheme to impound
the water of Mohave River was conceived
the great projects, which means the con-
verting of an immense area Of now worth
less lands into beautiful farms and pro-
ductive orchards.
Surveys and estimates were made of the
probable cost Of the dam, canals, reser-
voirs, etc., and the figures swelled up into
the millions.
Matters were progressing favorably when
the financial panic enveloped the country
and all negotiations stopped.
AT last the Columbia Colonization Com
pany, composed of Eastern capitalists,
with H. P. Sweet of Los Angeles as gen.
eral manager, undertook to carry out the
great scheme. Near Victor the Moiave
River pours its water through a narrow
gorge of solid rock, an ideal place for such
dam as the one proposed.
The proposed reservoir will impound
$4,000, 900, QUO gallons of water, or twenty
six times the capacity of the great Bear
Valley system. The country which will
be supplied with water is very fertile and
only requires water to make it very pro-
ductive.
To-day deed was placed on record con-
veying TO the company nearly 5000 acres
of land within the reservoir site. The con-
sideration was $50, 900. The grantors. Brown
and wife, reserve all rights to use the
land until water from the Mojave River
shall by dam be raised to a level with
the house and said lands. Mr.. Sweet

Ranch With Too Guns.


Ranch With Itpo Guns.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL. April 3d.
Sheriff Hicks this afternoon received a
telephone message telling him that the
dead body of an unknown boy had been
found in a canyon near the Stow ranch,
beyond La Patera. some sixteen miles
away. No explanation has been made OF
this mysterious affair beyond the intima-
ton that the lad may have been one en-
ployed on Chinese strawberry ranch in
the vicinity.
Tonight the Sheriff and Coroner brought
in the body of the boy reported as killed
on the Stow ranch. The boy proves to be
Eddie Dotty, lad of Is, better known as
Eddie True, whose mother and stepfather
live in this city. The young fellow was
engaged as a strawberry picker by some
Cinnamon, lessees OF the Stow ranch,
owned by son Of the late S. p. Stow OF
San Francisco, thirteen miles from here,
the scene of the tragedy being in a canyon
a mile above the Stow residence.
The Chinaman states that birds had
been destroying his berry crop of late, and
he gave the boy commission to shSot
them while he and another Celestial and
smaller American boy were picking ber-
ries. He heard the report of she gun
about 8 o'clock this morning, but sup

ever look in the direction from which the
report came, when, realizing some fifteen
minutes later that the boy had not called
out or moved, he crossed the filed to inves-
tigate the cause and found the lad lying
dead.
The chin and one side OF the face were
torn away by the shot, which evidently
severed the jugular vein. The boy was
carrying two guns and it is believed that
be Stun bled, causing one to discharge.
There. seems every reason to credit the
Chinaman's statement, which is confirmed
by all the circum stances. A Coroner's
jury has been subpenaed and will hold an
lnQuest tomorrow.
