THE POLITICAL POT
Will Be Warmed by Water Rates.
Non-Partisans for Reduction

RIVERSIDE, March 26.-As the date
of the municipal election in this city ap-
proaches politics warm up, and the indi-
cations are that the campaign will as
sumo a very warm nature. The prin-
cipal bone Of contention in the fight this
year is the regulation of water rates.
The Republicans are charged with being
favorable to the scheme of the water
company to collect high rates, and the
Non -partisans are making the campaign
on a platform which promises a reduc-
tion of the rate to at least 10 cents an
inch. In other years the principal ques-
ton in city politics here has been the
liquor question, but this year both par
ties agreed to submit this question to a
vote of the people, and thus remove II
from the campaign as a factor of dis
pute. AS the matter now stands the Re.
publicans have not pledged their nomi-
nees on the question of water rates, fur
ther than to say that a fair rate shall be
established, but the other side comes out
fiat and declares for reduction in present
rates, which are Is cents an inch, and
further, the candidates are pledged t.
economy in all city affairs. The election
takes place on April 11th, and from now
to that date there will be lot Of elec.
tioneering done by the managers Of each
side.

DENIES CLAY
CLAIMS THAT HE. WAS ONLY A
TOOL
In the Hands Of His Master-Prelimi-
nary Examination at Riverside.
Another Complaint

RIVERSIDE, March 26.-The examin-
alton of d. 7. Jackson, the alleged
| swindler, took place today in the justice
court, on the charge of having obtained
$500 from mine owners here by false rep
resentations. Among the witnesses te
testify were I. Witherspoon, County Re
corder Gruwell, A. H. Judson and Alva
Warren, the last two Of Cotton. These
witnesses made q very bad case fol
Jackson, as their testimony went to show
that he was a partner of M. W. Clay
the man who was here, as he stated
for the purpose of investing anywhere
from $100, 900 to $500, 900 in Southern Cali
fornia mines.
Jackson, the defendant. testified in his
own behalf. He swore that he was only
the secretary of the notorious Clay, and
that as soon as he found out the kind OF
swindler Clay was he quit him and
went east. He claimed that he had nc
interest in any of Clay's schemes as a
partner, and did not, until a short time
ago, realize what sort of man that in
dividual was.
Before the evidence was concluded
facts developed which led the district
attorney to dismiss the first complaint
and file a new one, and the examination
will be had over again.

Rain Was Too Late

RIVERSIDE, March ga good
shower of rain, amounting to 80 Of an
inch, fell here last night, and the indi-
cations are that more of the much need :
ed moisture will come before the storm
is over with. The above rainfall makes a
total for this season in this city Of
4.96 inches, as against 11.20 inches last
year to the same date. Last nights
shower was the third heaviest that has
fallen here this winter. The heaviest
rain of the season was on October 18th,
when the rainfall was "a Of an inch. On
December 1st, "a of an inch fell. Ranch
ers do not expect this rain to do great
deal of good, for the reason that it has
come too late in the season. It will, how
ever, give the grass a start and pas
turage will be the better for it.
Quite fall Of snow on Temescal range
Is reported. This is a rare occurrence
there. even in the depth Of winter, and
the circumstance goes to show that the

liest kind Of a scramble for piece of the
pie which is to be distributed. The finance
committee has the matter in hand and ID
considering offers of all kinds from the
eager bidders for business.
The present policies were written three
years ago, during an insurance.rate war,
and the city cannot hope to do anywhere
near as well at the present time. Some
time ago the Pacific Insurance union hxed
premium rate Of 81 per $100 valuation, and
the offers heretofore made to the finance
committee have been upon this basis. Yes-
terday, however, proposition was made
by the Northwestern National, through its
agent, to cut 20 per cent under the combin-
alton rate, making the price of 50 cents ON
500.
Previous to the reception of this offer the
committeeman had about decided to divide
the business between half a dozen firms,
but in the present depleted condition Of city
finances the cut rate offer Is big induce
ment, and, unless the low bid is met, 1t ID
probable that the Northwestern National
will get at least $25, 900 Of the insurance.
