SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 29.-(Reg-
ular Correspondence Something is rad
:cally wrong with the artificial supply of
water, while the natural spply is being
stolen. From all portions of the city
comes the report of artesian wells slowly
drying up. The move to fight the cause
of these well failures stopped at street
talk A we'll known attorney says that
we could stop the owners of steam
pumps from drying up the wells Of the
city If the people would only push the
case. 1t is nothing more than an out ana
out robbery. AS to the city water system
the case is far more serious. There is
considerable loss of water somewhere
after the supply leaves the reservoir. AT
one time Saturday the indicator at the
engine house showed a pressure of only
thirty pounds, when the normal pressure
is between so and 100 pounds. The
the indicator registered only 80 pounds
the reservoir was running over. Some
where yet undiscovered the city is losing
considerable water. One cause is ad-
vanced by we'll known authority, and
that is. that there are leakages in the
pipes throughout the system, his reaso sons
for so believing being that the pipe used
by the city is not likely to last over five
years. That the leakages do not show on
the surface is due mainly to the fact that
the water follows the bed of the pipe
This theory is doubted by great many.

CATALINA ISLAND

AVALON Aug. 2S.-It may be inter-

this year TO learn few facts gathered
from those who know whereof they
speak, which will enable them to COM
pare the comfort and conveniences sur
rounding them in Avalon in 1897 with
the conditions Of life on Catalina in 1886.
In that year the only habitable houses
on the island were the barracks at the
Isthmus and little house for shepherds
In one of the canyons near Avalon occu-
pied by Billy Brohan, who is still here,
and a man named George Bryant. The
site which the Metropole now occupies
was graced with a covered tent
capable of accommodating from ten to
twenty people. Relics of Indian life
were very distinct and all the ground
was covered with a thick growth of
weeds, etc. A few things only, such as
crackers, etc, could be obtained on the
island. Think of that, ye campers who
now laver do any cooking but go to the
delicacy stores and restaurants and buy
ready cooked everything your taste
Graves.
In the tent spoken of a dinner was
serevd every Sunday if provisions could
be obtained in sufficient quantity. If
! some natural artist in the musical line
could be induced to give his services a
dance would be enjoyed once or twice
q week Occasionally a lonely har-
monica would be the only available in
strument and this would be supple
mented by the harmonious whistling of
the dancers or onlookers. Ballads and
songs on the beach to the same accom-
paniment would be in order and there
still remain some who claim they got as
much enjoyment out of this somewhat
primitive orchestra as they do now at
the more decorously conducted pavilion
The days were passed as q present, in
fishing and hunting, etc. At that time
however, seal hunting was allowed. A
boat would visit the island about twice
a week, but on no fixed days and by nc
means regularly.
