IRRIGATING GRAIN FIELDS.
CoIusa Farmers Resorting to the
Use of Pumps.

1t is not very often that farmers along
the Sacramento River are short OF
water in the spring, but when they do
need it they need it badly. Referring
to the new plan of irrigating along the
river in Colusa County, the Sun OF
that place says:
Darby Laydon's barge with 20-inch
pump on board and power enough to
run another. left Sacramento Monday
for Browning's ranch. On Tuesday the
boat with 20-inch pump for the Davis
Brothers of Sycamore was to leave Sac
ramento Every foundry in San Fran
cisco that can make a pump has been
running over time for weeks.
There is no doubt but what the pump
has come to stay, and that the land
along either bank of the Sacramento
River is better situated for the use OF
the pump than any other large body OF
land in the State. We will have no more
drought alonS the Sacramento River. y

Miss Helen Ke||eher to Lecture on
California in 100 of the Princi-
pal Cities of the East
Under tic Auspices and Management of the
Southern Pacific Company,
With the Assistance of the State
Board of Trade, Manufacturers
and Producers Association Of
California, Los Angeles Cham
Der of Commerce and Others.

The brilliant success which attended
the illustrated lectures entitled pic
turesque California" and "Semi-Tropic
California given by Miss Helen Kelle-
her throughout California, Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia dur
ing the past year has suggested to
General Passenger Agent Goodman of
the Southern Pacific Company the ad-
visibility of making similar arrange
ments to present the many attractions
of our Golden State to people of the
Western, Middle and Eastern States in
a manner and under such auspices as
no other similar exhibition has ever
been conducted.
The plan. as adopted, provides for
Miss Kelleher delivering her new lee
ture on California in 100 of the princi-
pal cities of the United States included
in the territory above mentioned dur
ing the months of May, June. July. Au-
gust and September next, to be given
under the auspices of the most infuen-
tlal religious, social and charitable or
carnations of the cities to be visited.
With view of insuring the best pos
slble results arrangements have been
made with O. V. Eaton, formerly AS
sity, to act as advance representative,
canvass the different cities and enter
into agreements with such organiza-
tiOns as would best give tone and pres
tige to the enterprise. Mr. Eaton start
ed on his mission two weeks ago and
has already made some valuable con-
nectons, notably that at Salt Lake City
with the Mutual Improvement League
who have obtained a special dispensa-
ton from the church authorities to use
the Mormon Tabernacle, and the sale
of 1000 tickets for this occasion is al
ready assured.
This is no ordinary stereopticon eX-
hibitiOn, as Miss Kelleher ranks with
the best lecturers of the day, and in
addition to that qualification she is
also an elocutionist and entertainer of
high standing. The collection of slides
which will be used on this occasion is
the most complete and the best that
has ever been gathered together. They
are all artistically colored and such as
have heretofore been used in Miss
kelleher's lectures have excited great
admiration.
The dissOlving view electric stereop-
ticOn which will be used is the largest
and most powerful made, reproducing
scenes surprisingly true to nature
George w. Reinhardt, recently gradu-
ated from the University of California
will act as stereoptician on this trans
continental lecturing tour
The very favorable conditions under
which this enterprise will be conducted
and fostered cannot fail to interest the
best people of the East, and by thus
presenting the many attractions and
particularly the resort features of our
great State, the tourist and pleasure
travel to California should be largely
augmented.
To the Southern Pacific Company,
the State Board of Trade, Manufacture
ers' and Producers Association, Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce and
others belong the credit of inaugurating
this most worthy enterprise
