POMONA

POMONA, Oct. 6.-(Regular Correspon-
dence.) No trace of Charles Dalay, a
brother-in-law of Henry Wilson of this
city, who disappeared from home some
three weeks ago, has been foud although
strenuous efforts have bene made to locate
the man. He sold a quantity of barley in
Los Angeles, receiving as part payment
$40. This amount he brought home to
his wife. The next day he returned to
Los Angeles, where, it is learned, he re-
ceived a further payment of 5000 on his
barley, and from that day to this no
tidings of him have been had. 1t is thought
by his friends that he was foully dealt
with or has gone to the Klondike. To
OFFSET this latter statement it is argued
that the man could have gone away with
$500 or $1,000 as easily as with 5000, having
more than enough property here to have
realized that sum.

SAN BERN NARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO. Oct. 6.-(Regular
Correspondence The county health Off
Ger is after Bear valley lake again, de-
claring that it is the cause of innumerable
cases of typhoid fever among the families
who reside along the banks of the Santa
Ana river and the irrigating canals which
lead from that river This is an old sub
ject of discussion. the claim being that as
the dam raised the water from the river
and overfowed the surrounding wooded
country, the water does not purify itself
after the manner of running water. but be-
comes stagnant while the rotting trees and
vegetation in the water impregnated the
entire stream flowing from 1t with disease
breeding germs. When this matter was
brought to public attention before an ef-
fort was made to clear out the lake of the
rotting logs and debris of all sorts, and a
force of men worked at it as long as the
water remained at a low stage, but re-
moved but very small portion of the pol
luting material. What remains is becom-
ing worse each year and as the greater por-
tion of it cannot be reached, there seems no
way to abate the nuisance. Dr. Rene, the
county health officer. in his monthly re-
port Tuesday, stated where the danger was
and that he had notified all the families
using the water that came from Bear val
ley lake to boil it at least twenty-five min
utes before using to remove the disease
germs. There are other reservoirs being
constructed in the county. and 1t is prob
able some measures will be taken by the
health officials to have all vegetation re-
moved from the surface of the ground to
be covered with water before the latter is
turned in, and to prevent its regrowth 1t
may be necessary to have the bottoms and
sides covered with cement.
1t is evident that the Rialto district does
not feel in any great danger from threats
made by the Chicala Water company, for
Secretary c. e. Tibbot appeared before
the board of city trustees Tuesday night
and endeavored to make ten years con-
tract with the city for handling the water
supply. His plan is to take the water
from Lytle creek mile above the Lord
gate and by means of steel pipes bring it
down through a plant for pumping pur-
poses on the Ferguson ranch then run
the water through their present power
