Indian Irrigating Tanks.

The system of irrigation is mostly
that known as the ancient Hindoo sys-
tenn Of tanks. The word "tank," in an
Indian irrigation sense, means a stor-
age reservoir. A tank has no definite
size, it's area Of water spread may be
two or three acres or it may extend
to as many square miles; it's depth may
be three or four feet, or one hundred
feet, or more.
The word "koonta" is used in Hy-
derabad to signify very small tank,
such as one or two or three acres only.
The words Sanger and "cherroo'' are
the Hindoostani and Telugu equiva-
lents, respectively, of the word that has
been copied into English as tank"
Down every valley a stream must
flow in the rainy season, its size de-
pending upon the area Of the ground
that drains into it. A small stream ia
a feeder, or one of several feeders, to
a larger stream, whose drainage area
is the total Of those Of it's small stream
feeders. The larger stream is, again,
but a feeder to one still larger, and
and so on till the great river is reached
that carries the water from the whole
accumulated drainage areas to the sea.
In each little valley, in each larger
valley, in each yet larger valley again,
one or more tanks can be constructed,
and thus the drainage area supplying
a tank may vary from less than one
square mile to one hundred square

ADMITTED TO PROBATE.
Z. o. Chandlers Will Filed in the
Superior Court.

| ,. Is. Smith was appointed executor
without bonds yesterday of the estate
| OF the late L. c. Chandler, in accord
ance with his will, which was admitted
| to probate.
1t was dated July 5th of this year,
and the witnesses were +. J. Heintz,
f. B. Sutliff and Chauncey H. Dunn.
Although he devises his property, there
is nothing in the will to indicate its
value, and it is said to be heavily
mortgaged. In it he says:
IT desire that all my just debts and
| liabilities be paid.
Il give, bequeath and devise all my
property, and estate Of every kind In
equal shares, that is, share and share
alike, to my namesake, Walter Chand-
Ter Knapp of Canandaigua, Ontario
County, N. Y, and to my friend. George
o. Hayford Of the city of Sacramento,
Cal.
Il give the executor Of this, my last
will and testament, full power and au-
thority to sell and dispose of any and
all of my property and estate without
any order of court, and at either public
auction or private sale, and without
giving prior notice thereof, authorizing
and empowering him to execute and de-
liver any and all papers and instru-
ments necessary or proper to convey
the title thereof to the purchaser or
purchasers of any such property"

BATHERS ARRESTED.
Constable Russell Is Determined to
Put Stop to the Nuisance.

For the past two months a great
many men and boys have made the
Sacramento side of the river above the
Pioneer Mills, a swimming resort, and
they have bathed and diSported them
selves in the same condition, in respect
to clothing, that they came into the
world
The citizens of Washington, Yolo
County, have made complaints to the
Chief of Police Of Sacramento, but that
official could take no action in the mat
ter, as the swimmers were careful to
go outside Of the city limits to do their
swimming. The Sheriff's office was
also appealed to, but would take no ac-
tion unless complaints were sworn to
against the parties offending.
When appeals to the Sacramento city
and county authorities failed to bear
fruit, Constable w. NJ Russell Of
Washington, took the matter into his
own hands and decided to stop the dis
graceful proceedings which the citizens
of that village had been obliged to SUBJ
init to-
Acting under Sections 81 and 7S2 Of
the Penal Code, which give officers jur-
isdiction over territory 500 feet over
their county or township line, he yes
terday raided the Sacramento bank Of
the river and rounded up eight boys
whose ages ranged from 10 to 16 years,
and hustled them across the river and
before Justice Gill Of Washington,
where they were charged with unbe-
coming conduct.
The names of the boys were Ray Mar
tin, George Chairman, Edward Wilmun-
der, Charles Sink, John Stangly,
Dunn Grahal, Ernest Grant Covell and
George Young. The last named youth
lives in Jackson, Amador County, and
showed such a temper and utter disre-
spect for the court, that Justice Gill
sentenced him to serve five days in
Jail, but subsequently rescinded the
order and allowed him to go.
Justice Gill severely lectured the
boys, and gave them to understand that
if they were again brought before him
he would deal summarily with them,
and discharged them.
Constable Russell has made up his
mind that nude bathers must not chose
their beach in front Of the village Of
Washington, and proposes to arrest
each and every preson, large or small,
who so offends.

Who VIII Be Our Next Presidents

Politicians are now planning for the
Presidential campaign OF 1900 but the war
has so overshadowed all other matters
that politics is almost unnoticed. Many
people are of the opinion that the candi-
dates will be the same as in 1885, but
there may be a dark horse" who will win
the race. Popularity has much to do
with candidates This is also true with
medicine. The most popular remedy to-
day is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and II
has retained this for many years. Science
never discovered the equal of this medi-
cine for stomach, liver and kidney dis
eases. It builds up solid flesh tissue, i'm
parts vigor and vitality to all organs, and
makes life worth living. A bottle will
make big change for the better. Try it.

much to the point but for the fact that Richmond

out of the question

TO the Editor Of The Jewish South:
About five years ago the Y. M HI. A. of this city
determined to establish Women s Auxiliary Branch,
in the hope of arousing interest in their work-an
interest that had long lain dormant in the Jewish
community The result has fully justified it's exist
and proved that the Women's Branch is a valu-
BILE addition to the parent organization.
Perhaps it would be well to give some idea Of the
nature and scope of our work. Our members num-
Der five hundred; dues dollar per year-one-ffth
Of what our brothers pay-and privileges
the theirs namely access to the rooms at
all times of the library and gymnasium, and adj
mission to all entertainments given by the Y. M. H.
A. In return the Women's Branch has established
various classes, viz: French, German, choral, and
literature Various receptions and one two enter
tainments throughout the active season constitute
our work but do not conhne attention
merely to the association but endeavor to widen the
field OF labor, and it is mainly owing to the members
of the Women's Branch that the Sunday schools in
