RETURN OF DR. HIBBARD
Arizona and Southern California.
 The Water Storage.

Dr. W. w. Hubbard, wife. and daugh- ter returned yesterday morning from a visit to Southern California. occupy ing about six weeks. II was Mrs. Hib- bard's first view of California. so that the journey to her and her daughter was of continual novelty and interest. There are few men who have a better understanding of the western coast of the United States now than Dr. Hib- bard. \ year ago he made a journey along the northern line from san Fran cisco to Victoria. The doctor does not travel merely for pleasure and recrea- ton, but to familiarize himself with the regions through which he passes. This k accomplished by careful ob- servance and obtaining views and in formation from the residents.
 Southern California. he concludes. is in a very bad way by reason of .se drouth He spent some time at San Diego and while there he visited the famous SWeetwater dam. about fifteen miles from the city It is a magnificent instance of engineering and masonry erected at d cost of S1. 5G0, GOO. upon which no returns have ever been made There is not drop of water behind it. tor that region has had d steady dIouth Of four years. The dam was built by Boston capitalists. who had an made puate idea of the source of supply and undertook the herculean task of GeV l. UDing water where there was non. Q be developed. The water question ls d puzZlins one throughout all South ,L California and in the nature of things will meyer be satisfactorily solved. There is but one rainy season there and for several years that has been dry During the remainder of the year there Is uo rain al all or at the most light showers. which are absolutely worth less. This fact was brought to the no tice oT Dr. Hubbard by Californians Who entrusted that ard condition with that of the Salt River valley. which can always confidently count upon two wet seasons with heavy rains thrown in bs- tween for good measure.
 Times are not good in SQuthern Cali tornla. in San Diego they are openly bad, as is shown by great numbers of empty business houses and residences. Tn Los Angeles there is an appearance
 
 much jumping sideways. The doctor learned that many residents of Los An geles had been unable to afford more than trip to santa Monica in the rour.e Of the season and then they found the beach covered with Arizoni- dns. who had come rom the desert at great expense and settled down for the summer as f they owned the whole coast line. The easy time they were having has attracted general attention 10 thls territory, and especially 10 tha Salt River valley. It seems regarded as region Of wonderful resources, which enables so large a part of it's population to enjoy so long an outing
 Dr. Hubbard and family spent a con siderable part of tneir vaction at santa Barbara.
 The doctor comes back with a great T confidence in the territory and Phoenix than ever The more We are subjected to comparison with other localities the
