Spring Cleaning on Hand.

Every alley in the city should
be cleaned. The health of the COM
munity rs well rs self respect and
local pride demand it. The alleys
throughout the entire city are in n
most wretchedly filthy condition.

casses of chickens, cats and rab-
bits, the mixture of slops, and gar

of tin cans, shoes, cast-oif clothing

unless general cleaning up pra-

charged the soil with enough water
to last for years or rendered II
worthless, by ovcr-ir;ignting, and
made bogs and sloughs Of much
of il.
When the land was in this con-
di,ion the land and the water de-
creed it was not worth much.
Nearly all Of this wnter found its
way directly or indirectly to the
river, and wns enjoyed by later
bitches. 1t became quite u tempt
ing speculation for late bitches
that wanted little cnrly water.
They bought the water and the
land and diverted the water Mt the
point OF intake of the late canals;
changing the conditions altogether
which robbed ths river uf from
30 to IL per cent Of the amount OF
the early decree.
4 third. and the most direct
cause for the present low stage Of
the river, is the mountain storage
reservoirs. There are several
things that make them hard to
operate with any degree OF ac-
cuiacy.
In the first place these reser-
voirs are SO far from the valley
that it would require the whole
time of one man to adjust them.
1t takes four or five days for water
turned out of the reservoirs ia
reach the ditch to which 1t be-
longs. The amount Of water cvap-
GRATED and lost in transit varies
with weather conditions. All tue
bitches along the transfor either
take in some Of this rise or turn
out makes. or must be re-adjusted
at the time it reaches them, which
is hard matter. The canal must
open up Just when the water gets
there or cause fuctua!ion in the
river.
Whether any or all Of these
causes of shrinkagc enter in when
water is being transferred from the
Twin Lakes Reservoir to the Bot
Greek Canal, the fact is that every
time there is n transfer, there IL q
corresponding drop in the river
which remains until the run is
over. These unnatural conditions
will eventually be adjusted, but il
will req uire time and diligence to
rectify them.

THE IRRIGATION SITUATION.
As Seen BY Water Commis'
sioner Bowman, Editor Man.
zanoia Sun.

No snow in the mountains! The
cry goes up at least every other
year, and ns often is answered by
an abundant water supply. In
fact the river supply nj present is
less than it has been at any time
for many seasons. There is about
200 feet of water ut Pueblo to sup
ply DEGREES Of 1879 cubic feet.
From this condition it is readily
seen why SO many bitches atS dry.
This condition did not always exist
and there are three causes for the
bitches that used to be virtually
perpetual, being dry at present.
First there has been no general
rain since the thirteenth OF last
April, and the soil, every place, is
so dry that the little moisture thnt
fell during the winter on tho foo,
hills and lower valleys, found n
vacuum III the subsoil. As con-
sequence of this exceedingly dry
condition OF the soil generally, the
underiiow or seepnge TINT usually
keeps up n constant discharge IN
dry seasons has been considerably
decreased. This is the natural
and Legitimate cause. There is
another that lins been i'll the pro-
cess of forming for several years.
1t was an easy matter, in nn early
dly for bitches to get much more
water decrced thnn was ever mp
piled. These early ditclics. taken

EFFECTS OF TOBACCO

The effects of tobacco .n mind and body

based upon careful o5se rvation. He finds

possible value of such studies.
1t is impossible to determine the effect
of tobacco mental processes, but as
giving some indication Seaver mentions
that only per cent of the highest schol-

whenever it is desired to secure the high
est possible physical and mental working
tobacco is &c of the first things forbid
zen. If whole period of physical
growth is divided into periods of seven OF
eight years, the third period is devoted to
rounding ont. A this tine the most stren-
uous mental application is begun and OPP
noftuni les for frcreati n are eilrs a led: at
this period also the tobacco hahst is usual

tunctf fonal activity during tt's rounding

Iieves that it is logical to remove the
Rotor denressant influences in order that
there may be the greatest possible in
crepse in size and imnroved activity. This
post on has been t. zen by the directors

placidity of neighborhood in which tragedy is
almost never known, and In which if comedy
is enacted at ALL 1t is by unconscious come
dians The whole story is saturated in the
drOwsy atmosphere of sunny orchards and old
fashioned flower gardens. All this Mrs. Blum
dell has presented in her other books But in
THE Manor Farm she has hit upon a motive
that, while familiar enough in stories OF urban
life is most uncommon in what may call
pastoral literature She treats of man and
maid but the story of their love is interviewer
with, and almost subordinated to. the por-
traiture of two old men, their respective
fathers and to the exploitation of their quaint
ness. These parents farmers, living in one
house, which had been divided into two dwell
ines Giles and his daughter Beulah Joe and
his Reuben all bear the name of Maidment

Giles and Joe resolve that their children shall
marry, so that the two dwellings, and the two
farms may be united. They assisted in their
scheme by a delightful old kinswoman, Aunt
Heppie, but the children, as they come to realize
that they are expected to marry, not unnat-

preferences has been ignored. But Mrs Blum

another girl upon the scene to complicate the
situation. she preserves to the end the strain
of quaint hurnor at which she aims at the be-
ginning. Giles and Joe constantly to the
fore their tempers and absurdities and lovable
simplicties are never neglected. The story is
very amusing and it has a curious sweetness,
