the fumigating outfits will be in full blast
again. There are already 500 acres booked,
and there will probably be 500 more by the
time to commence work. This is owing to
the complete success that attended the
work last year. A year ago there was not
one acre booked and there was much OPP

were 100000 trees fumigated last season,

Our Water Controversy

The Los Angeles Water company de-
clines to accept from the city what 1t con-
siders as less than half the value of its
property, and yet the local press does not
blackguard the owners Of the plant and
dub them thieves, pirates and an all-round
curse to the community. They treat the
water company with ordinary business de-
cency and do not attempt to bulldose a
legitimate business concern by means Of
buster and threats. The people of Los
Angeles recognize that the water company
has rights as well as the city, and that
these rights are entitled to proper respect.
Los Angeles is fortunate in not being af-
ficted with a selfish, greedy water pro-
moter who seeks to use it's credit for de-
veloping his private schemes. That is one
reason that Los Angeles continues to
grow.-San Diego Tribune.

To Overrun Hawaii

The proposition to apply the California

that the moment the islands are declared
part Of the United States there will be a
rush there of enterprising people with the
object Of starting up different kinds of bus
mess. While 1t is true that there will be Il
good many chances, people should not go
half-cocked, for there is already a fulsome
supply over there of every thing the de-
mands have created In the lines Of hotels,
newspapers, stores, etc. Anyhow, there is
hustling American population on the
scene already, so 1t is certain no bets are
being overlooked.-Oakland Tribune.

OLD MESA lIFE.,

Tho Pueblo Woman Was Always the Hssd
Of the Household.
When the men went down to the
fields. the pueblo was really in control
Of its rightful owners, the women. In
these old communities the woman was
the important partner in the household
She was tho owner Of the house and all
It contained She built it and furnished
IL with its utensils of daily use. The
children traced descent through the
mother and took her clan name. The
mans position, other than mere pro-
wider, was that Of an honored guest,
and If he presumed disagreeably on his
position more likely than not he was
sent back to his own home. Far from
being the general slave and pack animal
that is her sister Of tho plains tribes,
the Pueblo woman's duties were purely
domestic, and If she ever worked in the
field 1t wss for the common good, to
save the scanty harvest in time Of need.
The grinding Of the many colored
corn for bread, the weaving and the
making Of pottery were her principal
occupations, and are to this day. Tho
Pueblo Indians are par excellence the
potters Of the southwest, and it will be
confessed that they come fairly by the
title, as an examination Of some Of the
old time ware will prove, although in
this case, as in some others, the evolu-
ton has not been for the better.
In the small house cell or III the white
sunlight the potter sat, and, with
scarcely any tools at all, fashioned such
specimens of the potter's art as to chal.
lenge admiration from us with all our
appliances The use of the potter's wheel
was unknown, and the throwing Of
q shape by this means out Of the ques-
ton; but with hollow bit Of basket
ware or piece Of broken pot for sup
port all tho forms from simple food
bowl up to tho largest and most elabo-
rate water jars were built up by coil on
coil Of clay, smoothed or modelled in
pattern as the vessel grew, and when
one examines some of the ancient pieces,
notably these excayated by DR.. Fewkes
of the Smithsonian institution, one can
but marvel.
Then came the decorating, and in ev-
cry case, from the simplest to tho most
elaborate and intricate symbolic design,
ono must confess that the Indian uses
the truest inceptive and fundamental
art principles There never is any waste
Of energy in EFFECT. Tho design al
ways means concrete thing, which
appeals to the understanding of tho In
dams for whose use the utensils are.
Through these same pottery forms and
their decoration runs one Of tho stron-
gest chains binding the old to the new.
Near me arc two tinajas, or water jars.
One is many generations, perhaps cen.
turtles, old, the other perhaps five years.
and yet in shape and general decoration
they are much alike and if the newer
one was properly "toned" they would
pass as Of the same period-Fernand
