Names for Mains

Some curiosity has been raised re- garding the designations which will be given to the various mains and lat erals for the irrigation of the Imperial settlement, and it has been decided to give ,o each of the mains aud laterals a ma me which will be appropriate and to number the sub-laterals This will simplify the designation of the various ditches. and when the people have become familiar with the system there will be no difficulty in locating q place by knowing under what lateral or sub-la'eTal it is.

From day ,o day horses and

When A. w. Patton brought in twelve-mule team a few days ago it made a new record for Imperial, but Wednesday afternoon George Carter of Pomona brought in a team of eighteen mules. Ten mules to the team will hereafter be quite a common sight OH the road from Flowingwell to Imperial and Calexico.

RESTORATION Of NlIIR

period of ample water supply After three wears during which there was decided shortage oi water, last year there was ma tcrial improvement almost uni vcrsallv over Southern Caliior- mia. And vet the improvement of last year was but step toward inc restoration of conditions which had existed in previous wears, speaking oi the general conditions. Some localities had made great gains through drill- ing wells. and the total water supply in Southern California last year was greater than was ever known before. But much oi that new supply oi water was q, ,ed on land which had never bc- fore been irrigated. and the res crvoirs. both natural under the surface of the valleys and ariiht- ial on the mountains, showed that the water resources were still at quite low ebb.
 Now the country IS cNPer- fencing an carly opening of the rainy season. and all parts ot Southern California arc getting the benefit. II k true that on the coast near San Diego the rainfall has vet been light. but that is of little consequence com pared with the fact that on the mountain areas draining into the reservoirs San Diego county has shared largely III the bouniiiul rains. as have all the mountain sections oi Southern California. This will of necessity imply the storage of an unusual amount oi water m the artificial reservoirs. while the percolation of the water into the soil will continue the work begun last year of restoring ihe supply of water for the under ground reservoirs in the valleys As water peroolates through the ground but few hundred feet q year, 1t will require q series oi wears to bring those reservoirs back to their normal condition. but when restored they will continue to give up water for sev- eral years, even in a period oi drought. and thus fortify the country against recurrence oi such d period as that which pre- vailed during the three winters preceding the last one.
 What with the Mountain reser' voir system in San Diego county and the Arrowhead system 1T San Bernardino county. Southerr California is getting better sup plied with water for irrigating it'

natives have come from far around to
enter the schools at Mpala. A year
ago this month the natives who had
been taught to set type In the printing
Office made their first book. A few
copies Of it have reached Europe and
attracted considerable attention. The
little book is a geography. It tells, in

1t gives the most interesting facts
about the geography and peoples Of

contain great deal Of information
without being crowded with SO much
detail as to make the story hard to

little volume, superintended the type
