THE WATER QUESTION.

The rainfall on January l, as
measured by the gauge at the Led
ger Office, amounted to SO of an inch,
making the total for the season H. 90
inches, against 14.47 for the cor
responding period last year. Jan
uary and February of last year were
very wet months In the first
named, 5.61 inches fell, and 9.81 in
February, making total of 1912
inches for the two months-nearly
one-half the total fall of the entire
season The snowfall in the noun
tains has been very light so far
For 80 miles east of Jackson the
noun tain crests are bare of snow
This is something unusual at this
season, and indicates that the stor-
age of water in the high sierras in
the form of snow will be below the
average. There is ample time yet
for the accumulation of vast snow
reserves, but as a rule the fall after
January soon disappears with the
advent of warm weather 1t re,
quires cold freezing weather to pack
it solid, so as to last through the
summer. However, for practicable
purposes in Amador county there is
no likelihood of a shortage of water.
The storage capacity of the Stan
dard Company is ample for all re-
quirements of mining There is one
contingency that might put a seri-
Gus phase to the water question in
Amador county When the Stan
dard Electric Company gets into
full swing in supplying light and
power to cities below, the water
used for this purpose is of course
lost so far as the mining industry of
this county is concerned. Now, in
the event of a shortage of water for
all purposes, and the necessity of
curtailing the supply of water in
some direction, the question arises,
which is likely to be cut off first, the
local or the outside demand. 1t is
not only possible, but highly prob
able, that the revenue of the Stan
dard company from outside sources
will far outweigh the receipts from
Amador industries In this dilemma,
from the standpoint of self interest,
the power company would naturally
desire to continue the business that
gives them the largest income. As
rule, it is sound business principle
that the lesser source of revenue
must give place to the larger There
are exceptions to every rule, how
ever, and it is question whether,
when we are face to face with this
issue, the business interests of ANA
dor county must suffer in order that
interests far off, but dependent upon
the resources of this county, may be
protected and maintained. This
point has never been settled by the
courts, for the reason that electric
energy transmitted to long distances
is a newly applied source of
power. No doubt laws will have to
be passed to meet this new condi-
ton. The law is clearly established
that the water of a stream cannot
be diverted to the injury of riparian
owners along the banks thereof. BY
analogy, it will probably be duly
recognized in the course of time that
established industries near the
source of electric power have the
first right to the use of that power.

The steamship Walla Walla was
rammed on the End instant off the
Humboldt coast by the French bark
Max, and went to the bottom in a
few minutes thereafter. More than
fifty of the passengers and crew per-
ished. The disaster was evidently
due to gross mismanagement on the
part of those in charge of the steam
er AT first it was sought to throw
the blame upon the unknown bark
that sailed away into the night after
the fatal collision, without stopping
to rescue the drowning. But the
Max has put into San Francisco, in
desperately damaged condition,
and her officers tell a totally differ
ent story. Everything was done by
them to avoid collision, and if the
least attention had been given to
their signals, the accident with it's
appalling loss of life would not have
occurred. These marine disasters,
mixed up with charges of careless
ness or incompetence, are too fre-
quent on the Pacific coast. They
ought to lead to greater care in the
issuance of certificates of seaman
ship. Practical knowledge of his
craft is of little worth on the part
of an officer unless it is also associat-
ed with traits of character which
guarantee that he will be at his post
and prepared to do his duty when
with danger.

How Boer Prisoners Escape.

Du Plooy, so far as is known, is
the only boer prisoner in Bermuda
who has succeeded in obtaining his
liberty. although several stories are
told of prisoners evading the vigi
lance of the guards in the prison
camps and escaping to the main
island.
In making these attempts The beers
prove themselves to be exceedingly
enterprising, One man under cover
of darkness made number of breath
ing holes in a big packing case,
which, with its cover knocked off, was
lying on the beach. The following
morning, during the bathing hour, he
succeeded in launching this, and man
aged unobserved to get his head in
side it. He had taken the precautiop
to knot a piece of cord through two of
the breathing holes in what had been
the bottom, but as it foated was the
top of the box. Holding to this with
one hand, he swan along with the
receding tide so idly that to the
guards it appeared that the packing
case was being carried at random on
the waves. 1t so happened, however
that the envious eyes of a sailor on
one of the British gunboats fell upon
this box as it drifted past, and wood
| being scarce he obtained permission
from an officer to drag it aboard. One
can conceive his amazement wher

PRUDISH POLICEMEN.

Patrolmen McGrevy and Ryan yes
terday arrested two women in this
city on the charge of raising theiI
skirts too high while crossing q
street. The arrested women are the
Misses Carrie Trexler and Dorothy
Stewart. While attempting to cross
Main street at Genesee street yester
day they encountered a pool of water
and stepped into it before they
realized its depth. There was no dust
to blind the policemens eyes, and
when the women raised their skirts
to avoid wetting them the policemen
were so shocked that they promptly
arrested them. Legal proceedings,
in which dress reformers will be inter
ested. will now be instituted, it is said.
to prevent such arrests in the future.

THE KNITTING INDUSTRY.
Remarkable Progress of the. United
States in This Line.

Albert Deabill of Lowell stated. In
an interesting paper read before the
New England Cotton Manufacturers
association meeting at Buffalo recent
ly, that at the present time there is no
branch of the textile industry COM
prising wider variety OF fabrics than
the knitting industry. since nearly
every kind and form of wearing an
parel can. be produced on Hitting ma
chimes. 1t is the opinion OF Mr.. Dea-
bill that with the rapid progress being
made in mechanical inventions and
improvements, and in the more intel
igent expenditure of energy and cap
ital, ther is no doubt put that knitted
goods made in the United States must
take the. lead in the race for business
in the markets of the world. The
rapid growth of the knitting industry
in the United States during the past
twenty years has been phenomenal.
Two decades ago the manufacturers
of Europe found ready market IN
the United States for all kinds of
knitted goods which they could pro-
duce. Year by year Europe has been
sending lessening quantity of goods
to this country. until at the present
time it is sending not more than rs
per cent. of the amount shipped here
twenty years ago. The goods which
are now being imported are of a finer
grade than is at present extensively
manufactured in the United States,
but the prediction is made that the
day is not far distant when we Snail
make not only the cheaper goods, but
also the finer grades for our own con,
sumption, and have a surplus to sell
abroad.
