IN the acting commissioners letter.
a copy which is inclosed herewith.
the plat is herewith transmitted
for correction in accordance there
with.
1t is observed that streets have
not been extended through a mum
Der OF blocks. Possibly in some
cases satisfactory reasons can be
given for this, (but apparently no
sufficient reason exists in such
cases as blocks numbers Ga. II, rs,
124, 248, 257, 3O3. BOG, 431, 432,
492, 493 and 528.) You will,
therefore, instruct the townsite
commission to change the survey
and plat in this particular, unless
IN any case change will destroy
valuable improvements, such as
buildings. Fruit trees and like
improvements would not be deemed
sufficiently valuable. If, in any
instance, an exception is made to
this rule, the commission must
make report as to the facts.
You will advise the commission
that the map is not on too small a
scale for photolithographing. but
where it is indistinet as to figures
and lines it should be made plain
You will have the plat submitted
to the department at the earliest
date practicable.

A negro. who sleeps in the grain

Mr.. DeGarmo, who is a partner

Friday evening after banking
hours and gave Mr.. Suggs a new
$1GO bill and check for 500 and
requested him to get the one

WONDERFUL oEysER AT WORK
California spouter That Throws Water
 800 Feet In the Air.

800 Feet In the Air.
 From the Scientific American: The people of southern California have re- gently been favored with one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of nat ural phenomena on reeord-one which has even astonished beyond measure ment all classes of community fa- miliar already with instances of what nature can accomplish when it sets out 1 to do something out of the common. SoutherR Californians are so used to shocks of earthquakes, incipient volca- noes, or threatened tidal waves that 1t takes something extremely eruptiYe to disturb their ordinary eomposure, but the successful effort of rural rancher in his search for water with which to irrigate his fields, parehed with long dronth, has turned the gaze of the whole state toward the little town of Whittier,a hamlet located in the neigh borhood of Los Angeles. Some weeks ago a farmer named Myers, living at Santa Fe Springs, began sinking an ar tesian well. Others in the neighborheed had successfully tapped q subterranean flow at depths of from 300 to 400 feet, and Mir. Myers hoped for a successful issue to his enterprise. By slow stages the dyills descended until a depth Of 500 feet was attained. This was on Sun day, May II A drill weighing 200 pounds was employed and the prospect of tapping a good flow of water was be- coming more and more encourag ging. A sen-inch pipe had been sunk some dis- tanee. and the usual preparations made for controlling the flow when it did make it's expected appearance. Int heavy drill was working with it's usual monotonous regularity, when, after one deep plunge. a loud roaring sound was Heard coming from the well, aceompa- nied by jets Of muddy water and out bursts of heavy stones. Soon after the drill itself made i.s appearance. fol- lowed by 9 grand column of water. which forced itself htgher and higher until the top reached an elevation Of 600 feet. The flow was accompanied by vast quantities of gas smelling of sulphur strongly and igniting when fire was applied, burning with strong blue flame. Oil in considerable quan- ktities was mixed with the flow. The stones were thrown to an equal height with the water and the exhibition of tremendous force was appalling to the last degree No geyser of the Yellow gtOuts ever disO1aypd siIeh activity The column of muddy water was like a great pillar. extending almost to tbe clouds and falling back to earth again in graceful festoons. The force ey- erted was equal to thousand powerful engines. For two weeks this phenome- non has been active, though soms diminution of the force exerted ts be- ginning to be apparent. The flow of water Is enormous, and, the country being flat. sorne difficulty Is appre- hended in it's control.

Under the above title a writer, La Nature, of Paris. contributes an inter- esting article on spontaneous combus- tion. showing that when stored hay. bales of cotton. tobacco, etc, take fire, the action is in the first plf,ce due to bacteria. In wet seasons saeh fires are most common and are due to storing the hay, etc, in a damp state; fermen- tation follows. with great rise of tem- peratnre-a process due entirely to the action of microbes; the hay is changed to a dry. porous and earbonaeeous condition, and it presently takes fire. It will consume slowly, until accident brings the external air to it's help, when the ineandescent mass bursts into flame, and the microbes which caused the initial mischief are de- stroyed in a funeral pyre of their own making

 Chicago Chronicles: Little six-year- old May Huhn proved herself one of the greatest juvenile swimmers in the world at the north side natatorium. She sWam mile in 1:07:17 3-5. The girl made a wo1ld's record. for no child has ever accomplished the feat before h such a short time. The child is not large Tor her age, nor does she seem to have muscles developed to a much greater extent than other girls as young as sht, but it is the opinion of all that if she keeps at the game she will in time be one of the greatest fe- male swimmers in the world George Gaidzik lowered another worlds mark for boys under 16 years old when he swan two miles in 1:12:15. The record was formerly held by Ralph Uhlend9rf, who made the same dis tance in 1:14:29 3-5. Other good per- formanees by juveniles were as follows: Walter Horn, 12 years old, two miles in1:25:54; Lottie Mayer, 12 years old. two miles in 1:40; Charles Arens, Il years old, one and a half miles in 1:13:54; Arthur Gaidzik, f2 years old. one and a half miles in 1:15, and Rob- ert Arens, g years old, one and half miles in 1:35.
