smallest child who ever sang to an audi

m oun tain tunneling for water is prov

The promised supply is a godsend TO the
CITY. Other tunnels can make the whole
seaside slope at and adjacent to Santa
Barbara blossom like the rose and become
one of the most beautiful and desira BILE
residence sections in the world, for the
climate is perfect. To obtain an abund-
ance of pure water is the greatest boon
that can come to Santa Barbara.
THE Santa YneZ mountain range, back
of the city, occupies an area seventy miles
long, with an average width of ten miles
1t has been formed by the folding and up
fitting of the sandstone into a huge anti
cline. During its formation this anti
cline had its back fractured, and the
seams and joints opened because of the
strain of the bending rocks. On the axis
of the anticline the bending and extens ion
of the arch was greater than in the dip, so
the fracturing of the sandstone and the
widening of the joints is greatest near the
summit of the ridge.
IN o impervious beds or deposits of clay
or other rock exist on these mountain
tops. The sandstone is presented directly
to the rain, and the proportion of rain
that finds its way into these widened
joints and seams and porous strata must

example. A favorable site was chosen a
m lie further up on a western branch of
Cold Spring Canyon. A tunnel was
started. 1t is now in about 1880 feet and
yields about thirty inches of constantly
flowing water. This is over 300, 600 gallons
a day. 1t is three times as much as is re-
quired for the sprinkling OF all graded
streets in the city. Its market value is
over $50, 600. The city has spent but SILL
600 in developing ii. And this includes
the purchase al 81 an acre Of GAO acres of
Government land above the course of the
tunnel and $457 so paid for other land adj
jacent to it.
The experiment having proved success
full the city in Septem Der, 1886, voted $780,
600 bonds to obtain pipe line, compete a
reservoir, also further develop the tunnel.
The bonds were serials, to be paid liz forty
years with interest at 5 per cent. They
were sold In Chicago in April last, but the
money was not delivered pending de-
cision by the Supreme Court relative to
the recent San Luis Obispo bond case.
A favorable decision is soon expected.
In the meantime work on the tunnel
will be continued at about So linear foot
and paid for as before from the general
fund of the city. which has balance of
about $1,000 from the fiscal year just
ended. With this fund and little extra
tax levy, if necessary, the work will be
carried on regardless of delays with the
bonds.

1t is claimed that these wells daily yield

they produce. The gravity flow from
Mission and Rattlesuake canyons is prob
ably not over 10000 gallons a day at pres
ent. And about 1000 gallons OF sea water
is being pun ped and used for street sprin-
king. This makes a total of a little over
600 600 gallons furnished daily by the
water company for the uses of the entire
city, which ought to have and could use
to great advantage in summer 100000
gallons day.
Speaking of Santa Barbara's present
water supply DR.. r. F. Winchester, presi-
dent of the city Board of Health and a
resident in the community for many
years, said:
1.-The water from the De Ia Guerra gar
dens is impure and the Mission Creek sup
ply is from a filthy reservoir that has not
been cleaned in TWO years. 1t would un-
dou ID ,edly be condemned in a minute if
we had any other supply. We are afraid
o condemn it now, but it, condition is
shameful. Chloride of sodium and bac-
terra found in the De la Guerra water iu-
dictate sewerage, and tule fiber and roots
discovered in it plainly show surface
drainage and not pure arteslan sources
The De la Guerra wells Drain surface wells
and have rendered some useless. Water
standing in Hernster's wine cellar was en-
tirely drained off in three hours after

Then the missionaries heard of her and
rescued her just in the nick of time.
She found home and kind friends in
the Chinese Methodist Mission. She has
youth. good looks, intelligence some mu-
seal capacity, perfect health. She lives
in a free city, the boast OF the people of
which is that they are free, and she daily
sees the American flag floating upon the
shipping and on the Federal building on
Washington street as she looks from her
cham Der window.
Alas! This young girl is not safe in her
present freedom. Her mother haunus the
mission intent still upon getting her from
its secure precincts. A Chinese merchant
schemes TO seize her and in flict vengeance.
She dares not go upon the streets of free
San Francisco in the daylight hours
alone. By night she is securely a pris.
oner for her own safety. Chinese by the
score know of he- present dwelling and

BY this time Mrs. Lake reasons out that

creek, with little irrigation and no
sprinkling. Then. by an act OF the Legis-
lature, fathered for his personal interest
by Mr.. De la Guerra, Santa Barbara s
representative, one Guillermo Carrillo Sc
cured an exclusive franchise for supplying
the town with water from Mission Creek.
He afterward sold this illegal franchise TO
Charles E. Huse for $50. Nothing ever
came of i, except that in 1872 when
Cesar Lataiflade applied to the city for a
wat franchise, he was promptly refused,
Mr.. Huse being then the City Attorney.
Later in the same year r. B. Garfield, the
present head of the water com pany, ap-
Piled Tor franchise and was refused.
But Mr.. Garfield, lawyer himself. did
not desist from his purpose. Counseled
by Mr.. Fawcett, afterwald Superior
Judge, he began that same year, in spit
OF the in NJ ctions served upon him, to
lay sheet-iron water-mains in the city.
He secured from the Bishop of Los Ange-
les the right to the mission water, allow
ing the Bishop for the church several
thousand shares in the company, but re-
serving $3.50, the controlling interest, for
him self. Later, for the sum OF about
$50 600 he bought the church interest and
assumed iuil control of the water supply.
The only condition to the sale was that
the mission, the parochiaI church and the
Sisters school should among them receive
free of charge one and half inches OF
water, equivalent to 10, 440 gallons, a day.
That condition has not been aisregarded,
but latterly the mission, thoughtful for
the city's needs, has plaining.y
taken less than 1000 gallons daily.
In 1876 Mr.. Lataillade, while tempo
rariIy in charge of the water works,
bought 1850 shares of the stock at 81 40 a
share, ami the same year resoId them to
the water company at the same rate.
There were 1900 shares in all, valued
therefore at So 800. The city assessment
roll of 1874 shows the capital stock of the
