HOME FOR INDIANS
Possible Locations for Reservation are
 Being Examined

The Warner ranch Indian commits sion appointed to investigate and pass upon land that is available for pur- chase for a new home for the Indians who are to be busted from the Warner ranch, have started on their tour of in- vestigation. In an interview with a member of the party it was learned that after leaving Riverside the com mission examined the Ethan Chase nursery ranch at Ferris and then pro- ceeded to inspect other lands near San Jacinto.
 At Warner's ranch a meeting of In- dians was called, at which Charles F. Lummis explained the object of the commission and suggested that two of the tribe be designated to accompany the party during the rest of the jour- ney. It was evident that the Indians had been given ill-advised counsel, for they refused to adopt the sugges- tion and asserted that they had been told that they were not to be molested in their occupancy of their present homes. They were prevailed upon, however, to delegate two of their mem- bers to accompany the commission.
 While at Descanso large tract of land. embracing 5000 acres, on the Cuafymaco range will be inspected, then the party will go to Julian, Santa Ysabel, Mesa Grande, San Pasqual, Pala and return by way of Temecula, reaching Riverside about the end of the month.

Irrigation Bill Passed

Washington-The house Friday pass ed the irrigation bill, by vote of l46 to 55. Many amendments were offered. but only one outside of those offered by the committee was adopted. It was of a minor character. The bill has already passed the senate. The friends of the measure greeted the announce ment of its passage with round of applause.
 The bill as passed creates reclama- tion fund from the sale of public lands in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska. Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, less the amount paid to local land offices, and per cent due the state under existing laws for educational purposes, the reclamation fund to be used for the construction and maintenance of irrigation works in the states and territories enumerated. Provision is made for the payment out of the treas ury of any deficiencies in the allow ances to agricultural colleges. owing to this disposition of public lands. The secretary of the interior is authorized to examine, survey and construct the irrigation works, and report the cost thereof to congress at each session.
 Section provides for the letting of contracts for the works contemplated in sections when the necessary funds are available in the reclamation fund for such section.
 Section provides that "no right to the use of water for land in private ownership shall be sold for tract exceeding 160 acres to any one land owner, and no such right shall perma- nently attach until all payments there- fore are made, and no sales shall be made to any land owner unless he be an actual bona fide resident on such land or occupant thereof, residing in the neighborhood of said land."
 Section authorizes the secretary to use the reclamation fund for the oper- ation and maintenance of the irriga- tion works.
 Section requires state control over waters of non-navigable streams, such as are used in irrigation.
 The president is using his influence in every possible way to secure the enactment of the irrigation bill into law at the present session of congress.

SHOT HIM DEAD
Noted Smuggler Killed by a Customs
 Officer on Mexican Border

Charles Hollingshead, the oldest mounted inspector for the Nogales cus- tom house, has added another snug gler to the list of those he has killed. Thursday night, while guarding the Calabasas road, Hollinshead shot Jose Narciso, the most noted smugler oper- ating on the Mexican border. Narciso was riding burro and carrying load of smuggled goods when seen by Hol- lingshead. The latter ordered him to halt, but he endeavored to escape in the darkness. Hollingshead sent a bullet after him, killing him almost instantly. A coroner's jury at Nogales found that Hollingshead had killed the smuggler while discharging his duty.
 Narciso had always managed to out wit the customs house officers and always said he never would be taken alive. At one time Line-Rider Hath away, now dead lay in wait for him on hidden trail in the Nogales moun- tains. When Narciso came along bull lets flew thick and fast, but the snug gler managed to escape. The Nogales custom house officials felt relieved on hearing that the noted smuggler would trouble them no more.

hot that they have constantly emitted steam. Most of these springs, how ever, have flowed with cold water. The report which is now confirmed by responsible mountaineers, is that all the springs of "Bumpus Hell" have suddenly turned boiling hot and the steam issues from them and through cracks in the lava in such volumes as to form thin cloud.
 Beyond doubt there is fresh heat within Lassen. So far none of the dis turbances have made themselves ap- parent at the summit of the cone, though no one has yet reached the top to peer down into the crater. Geologi- cal parties who have examined the crater declare that the uppermost stratum of lava which covers the sur sounding country has been deposited there within 200 years. Nervous peo- pie have declared in recent years that they could hear strange rnmblings.
