or will tell you all about them. With all their rustic and hustle they are never too busy to impress upon the mind of every visitor that Los Angeles is the only place on the face of the earth where a descendant of Noah will
 be contented to dwell. You will find no croakers there. They have no room for kickers, or growlers, or knockers, or pessimists, or Jeremiads. Their pro- tective tariff is SO high as to practical ly exclude the importation of these several breeds of bipeds. Everybody, from the mayor of the city down to the urchil, who shines your shoes, is
 boomer for the town, and has always cheering word to say for it. To each of them, a summers day is never so hot as it is somewhere else, and the winters chill is perfect. Spring weather compares with the storms in other climes. If a drone does not stand loyal to the town, he is sooner or later boycotted by his townsmeu and driven out of the hive Aud it is a wholesome practice too.

Is Irrigation Necessary?

The following newspaper coloquy hits the nail on the head several times:
 Not only do we find one city, but there are quite a number of smaller cities. each with a limited area of agricultural land around it, but that limited area irrigated !-Colusa Sun.
 Commenting on this the Imperial Press says:
 This remark refers to cities in Southern California. Of course, water is. as necessary as land. In the Sacra mento Valley they don't think so Hence
 And then the Colusa Sun replies:
 The Imperial Press Riverside coun- ty-from which we clip the above, does not finish the sentence. but there is not a reader in the Sacramento Val ley who cannot finish it. There is not man in the valley, who if on a jury, would not hang anyone on less testi- mony than has been brought him in favor of irrigation. In fact, there is mt one who does not have to admit It; not one who does not have to admit that if the people of the valley lad taken the advice of the Sun years ago, got water and planted grass, they would have been the richest part of the world. with one hundred-fold more population! They have to admit it, but do not move up, and hence
 Will s. Green of the Colusa Sun has the nerve to stand by a proposition for all time to come? He is like the bull that tried to butt the engine of the track-good nerve, but poor judg- ment.

An Opinion of Southern California.

the Sacramento Bee regarding South ern California in strain that is very complimentary to this country and our people. He says:
 To our neighbors beyond the Rock ies. unacquaiuted with the resources and surroundings of our State. it might naturally appear. and, undoubt- edly to many of them, it does appear, that the only place in California to build a home is in the southern half of our great territory. There. to many of the Fasteners is the only section where Sol sinks down behind the sun sets soft red curtain to kiss the calm Pacific. or where the perfumes of the orange blossoms drowse the welIy into peaceful sleep.
 To many of us in Northern Calfor- mia who, year after year, sit on the fence and watch the procession go by to Southern California, there to build up beautiful cities and towns, and open up and develop her great resources. IL might appear. from the lack of lights thrown out, that the same sentiment exists in our own communities as that entertained by those we term our Eastern brethren-namely that the South Is the only place in California in which to live.
 Many of you will rebel against this last expression. and proclaim with all your vehemence that 1t is not true; that you of Northern California do not now, and never have entertained such sentiments.
 .x. Al f,,1 ,tnl Nc most skllful pleader at the bar, and the fact is still patent on the face of your pleadings to all the people that the soft impeachment bears some semblance of truth. And why?
 There can be no denial of the fact that the great progress in California for the past twenty years has been in the South; that enterprise and capital have centered there and have trans formed what might formerly have been called desert into an Eden of figs and oranges. Cities with beautiful homes have been built up all on the most modern plans; towns have gained rec ognition which but a few years ago were unknown and unnamed in the wild waste of Southern California. The people of these cities and towns, coming largely from the Eastern States where winters icy chain gives way only to the oppressiveness of summers sultry heat. were quick to appreciate the beauty and healthful- ness of our climate and the respon- siveness of our soil. and to realize how appropriate is the motto of our State, Eureka"
 For our Southern neighbors who were first to show their appreciation of this land of sunshine, fruit and flowers, and were foremost in shout ing it's praises to the world l have naught but the strongest admiration. They came they saw, they conquerd.
 They have been loyal to the State, and have justly earned their present standing and prosperity, and the sue cess which the future Is certain to bring to them.
 Let a stranger visit Los Angeles, He finds busy, rustlng and thriving city. Everything is rushing and every body apparently busy, but yet never too busy to attend to the visitors slightest want Some one will find out where you are from, and what you are in town for; and before you get away, he will either show you some of the objects of interest in the city

The Ramage Dam at Monroe Bridge Goes Out.

Sunday at 10 a. m. the dam of the
Ramage Paper company at Monroe
Bridge, which since the freshet of the
first of Mardh the Deerfield river has
been slowly undermining, went out
taking about 800 feet of the Hoosac
Tunnel a. Wilmington railroad track
and road bed. Where the track once
was is a huge hole about 300 feet long
and 100 feet deep. This the water is
constantly making larger as the bank
is of soft clay and is washing away,
loosening the whole side hill which is
very steep at this point. The dam was
weakened by the recent freshet which
took away the new pulp mill and the
apron to the dam. This mill was on
the railroad side of the river while the
main mill is on the other side of the
river. The water slowly worked in
under the dam on the railroad side and
around the end. The dam at this end
swung down the stream and settled sew
eral feet making quite a breach at this
end. Mr.. Rivers, a dam expert of Hol-
yoke, was called. He put in a crib
work against the dam and stone bulk
head filling the same with tons of rock
and dirt. Everything was done to save
the dam but the high water of Friday
and Saturday completed the work of
The loss to the railroad
can not be estimated. 1t will be an
expensive job to repair the road bed as
piles will have to be driven and it will
be a month at least before trains can
be run over it. Owing to the foresight
of the management of the railroad an
train was on the Hoosac Tunnel
end of the road. Passengers are
brought up to this point and are trans
by team around the break. The
to the Ramage Paper Co. will be
very large as it will compel them to
down their mills until a new dam
be built. They have thousands of
worth of orders on their books.
The loss to the other manufactures in
he village will also be of quite an
AMOUNT. Most of the freight will have
% be taken to Hoosac Tunnel on teams
or transferred around this point by
cam. The work of repairing and re-
building will be rapidly pushed. A new
and pulp mill will be built. Other
improvements will also be made. The
'stimated cost will be 500, 600. The
Mill and machinery cost $50, 600. The
of the dam entails about SO, 600

will be no setback. 1t is now their
plan to resume the woman's confer
n C next year. The young woman's
conference under the old management
has been conducted jointly by the
management of the Northtield confer
ences, and by the Young Women's
Christian associations, the invitation
having been originally extended IN
1893 by ID. l.. Moody. Great proml-
nence was given the platform meeting,
where able men gave addresses for the
general purpose of deepening interest
in Christian work. The leaders of the
Y. M. G. A. have felt, however, that
they desired to give more time to con
~ferences for the discussion of methods
of work in their organization, and
that the conferences should be entire
ly conducted by their own workers and
presided over by their leaders. They
wanted more time for training in asso-
citation work, for spiritual conference
with individuals, and asked that the
date be changed to place the confer
ence closely following the close of the
school and college year, so as to ac-
the college young women.
But this date at Mortified is occupied
by the students conference. AS the
leaders of the Mortified movement
were unable to make the changes de-
sired by the management of the Y. W.
c. A., the latter organization has de-
cided to hold their own conference at
Bay at. Lake George. In place
