PIPED WATER FROM MOUNTAINS

AS nearly everyone knows, the vast
fruit ranches of California are watered
by artificial means. says he San Fran
cisco Report. They are situated for the
most part upon plains that are seldom
visited by rains, save in the wet season,
when there is more moisture than is good
for vegetation. This year about 100 600
acres of land in five counties in the
southern part of the state have been
added to the arabic area by means or
water brought from the mountain
streams. Thirty thousand inches OF
water not known to exist was discovered
and utilized. IT all came about through
the unprecedented drought and dry sea-
son of 1898 so. 1t was supposed that all
the water had been exhausted and that
every inch available had been approprl-
ated. Not only were crops dying, gu.
fruit orchards themselves were dying ana
becoming worthless unless more water
could be obtained. The first great saw
ing was made by piping the upper
branches and sources of the mountain
, streams. Several miles of seepage ana
evaporation We're thus saved. The result
was in many instances that the irrlgable
supply Of these streams was doubled
and in some instances tripled.
By piping the upper sources OF the
streams great water power was deVel-
oped. This power was appropriated Tor
power purposes and by electricity mas
! been transmitted to the farmers OF the
! valley and plain. who in turn buy the
! power and use it for pumping water from
! wells. 1t has become cheap power ana
the farmers have found that they could
we'll afford to pump water for irrigation
purposes. Those who invested their cap
| ital in the development of this mountain
stream power are making great fortunes
by the sale of the SAINT to the farmers.
Thousands of wells k2ve been dug ana
thousands of pumping plants have been
constructed.
Only those familiar with the great
value of irrigated lands can form a cor
rect idea of the value to a community OF
| the addition of $1,000 inches of water or
of increasing the amount OF lrrisa
land 100, 900 acres. 1t means many MIL
lions of dollars annually to that COM
munity. 1t is safe to say that it Will add
SIS, 900, 900 annually to the agricultural
and horticultural products of these nVe
southern California counties.

THE FAKIR'S MISTAKE.

Detroit Free Press: The best of us
make mistakes at times" said the fakir
who was waiting for the policeman to
pass before he opened uD business. Il
think the funniest mistake l ever made
was last fall, while | was down south.
Il was not doing very well there, and
had about made up my mind to come
north, when heard OF a country fair and
horse trot taking place in a little town
about fifty miles from where [ was. The
party to whom | was indebted for the in
formation also told me that at such a
time even the poorest of the crackers
manage to scrape a few dollars together
to enjoy themselves with; so I decided to
attend the affair n prevent the natives
from losing their money betting on the
races.
4 simply chuckled to myself when I
saw the material 1 had to deal with, and
l decided Offhand that if they had any
money. when l got through with them 1
was not the man l thought l was.
Il was playing the soap game at the
! time. You know what that is? You
wrap a bill around a small cake of soap,
and with a little sleight of hand work
you prevail upon some sucker 20 buy
another cake of soap, under the impress
sion that he is buying the one contain
ing the bill. Well, l opened up and was
soon surrounded by a curious crowd of
natives.
Now, gentlemen I said, as ]
wrapped a twenty-dollar bill around a
cake of soap, you see I place the bill
around the soap like this, then wrap il
up in this piece of paper. drop it in the
box with the others, and give you the
choice of any a of soap in the box fol
So
But not a solitary cracker DIT at tn,
game. In vain l used all my wiles. A
last, thinking the amount might be NOR,
than any of them possessed, l dropped
the price to 81.
AT this point a sport who was follow
ing the races came up and looked m,
over.
Well, o are a jay of jays. Say
don't you know that a cracker has n
use Tor soap! Cut up a plug OF tchacc
and try them with that
Il followed his advice and did A rush
ing business for the rest Of the day"
