Railroad Talk.

A. B. Hotchkiss. gentleman who is well posted tn railroad matters because of hts long. close connection with the late C. F. Huntington and the South crn Pacific management. says in the last issue Of Public Economy:
 The Pennsylvania Railroad is to ask Mexico for a subsidy from 1uma across such portion of northern Lower Cali fornia as the line from Yuma Co San Diego, with a branch to Ensenada, as the new line may touch. and the line will be built, but San Diego can e1pe- ditc it by showing her teeth
 1 predict that Clarks Salt Lake line will go no further than Cotton. that the so-called "U. r. Short Line will be built by Hartman down to Beaumont, from there Hartman will build from Yuma to tide water on the Gulf of California, and that Harri- man will have a share with the Penn sylvania and other Southern roads named here. in the road 10 San Diego through the Imperial Settlements. giving all these combine roads d share in d line to tide water at Enscnada and San Diego, which will be clear from regulation by our Inter State Commerce Commission because Ii goes through Mexico. thus relIev Ing them from the blackmail now sO freely extorted from them by the Canadian Pacific road. which is clear from such interference.

Irritation iOr tic Yuma Indians.

The Los Angeles Times publishes an interview with Frank Sullivan of the Yuma Indian School. touching educa- tlonal matters and irrigation matters also as follows:
 Frank Sullivan, instructor of car pentry and industrial pursuits at the government Indian school at Yuma, ar rived in the city yesterday and regis tered at ,Le Ramona He is another Of the Indian workers who welcome the proposed change tn the government policy toward the redskins: and con siderable service In the Industrial branches Of schools In various parts of the country makes him competent to speak on the subject.
 He said yesterday: The Indian is not ready for a polished education. He ncc..s to be taught how to make hN- ing. and to be helped along in it The grcatcst good In the education of the Indian children will be the establish ment of district schools. day schools from which the pupils can return home each evening, and gradually leaycn the whole family with what they learn.
 The present Indian law provides that when u child Is once enrolled in a government school IL can be removed to any school within the United States al the wlll of those in authority The children can be picked up and carried across the continent without any re- gard to home ties or parental love. The new policy will give the Indians the right to choose which school they care to attend. which will undoubtedly ' he the one nearest home.
 The Yumas are badly disposed toward the school at present. and VIC have q hard time keeping the children from escaping. District schools. com petcnt instructor In farming to gu about the reservation and direct the crops. and field matron to go into tho homes and teach housekeeping would do away with this disagreeable forcing business.
 The department has recently sent m inspector. Gen. Armstrong. who was member Of the Dawes Commission through the Yuma reservation to plan for a proposed government irrigation system To help the natives. It would mean the construction of canal. be ginning above the reservation and run ming through it to empty below in the Imperial main canal. It would cost about S20.00O. and would be of meal culable benefit to the Yumas. of whom there are about 500 on the reservation The government proposes however. tC sell part of their lands to provide for the expense They have no more land now than they need to be thoroughly prosperous
 If the new policy is carried out the big school now being built at River side will probably be the last of Its kind in the history of Indian educa- tion co

Not Cheap Water.

We notice, in the Times Index. the following Item concerning water which will interest some Hedlands people.
 Highland orange growers are con sldering a proposition Co them where by lt is asserted that water can be supplied for domestic use and irrlgating purposes at a maximum price of 90 cents per miners inch. 1T this is accomplished it will mean a great re- ductlon in expenses to orchardlsts.
 The ofTer was made by NJ. r. Bald win who is interested in the new cleo tric light and power plant in Mill Creek Canon. Mir Baldwin proposes to bring electricity from Mill Creek Canon tO Highland where wells will be dug an da pumping station estab- lished from which water can be pumped to all parts Of Highland. Mir. Baldwin's company agrees to fur nish the pumps and power If the orange growers will associate them selves together and dig the wells
 The proposal has been we'll received and in fact it is practically decided that IL will be accepted. The wells will probably be located near the cor ner of Base Line and Palm avenue. cI Base Line and Boulder avenue. Both of the locations are on low land, but d hoisting plant will be installed to pump IL to the higher elevations.
 This item Is headed Cheap Water ih Highland" but the title Is not true as to cheapness. lrrigating water al 90 cents an inch for a twenty -four hour flow Is not cheap. IL may be cheap for pumped water. but it Is not cheap water. in any irrigating sense
 When George Chaffee was here three years ago and offered our people d water proposition it was indignantly spurned as being regular Shylock scheme And yet Mir Chaffee offered 10 buy out every Bear Valley interest complete the system on the original lines and even enlarge the plans sC that he would have enough water In sight stored in reservoirs, 10 afford an ample supply for four consecutite dry years All Mir. Chaffee asked was 20 cents an inch for five years-whlIe he was completing the system-and a l5 cent rate forever after And h. was turned down cold and hard. be cause the people were sure he wanted to rob them, Some of these same people paid S3 and S4 an inch fol water in the two years following,
 The people of Redlands can have. | they will follow out the plan outlined in these columns during the summer an absolutely safe, sure and ample water supply forever. at a cost not exceeding l5 cents an inch, and W. believe the cost can be brought dowr to a figure between l0 cents and l2l. cents an inch.

The FAIRY Lnmpllshter.

Affection often inspires ingenuity.
In life Of Joseph Severn the narra-
tive Of tho artists care of the poet
Keats in his last illness includes a
graceful incident. Severn, worn out
with watching and tireless service,
would sometimes, drop asleep and al
low the candle to go out, thus leaving
the sick man in darkness. which he
dreaded. Realizing that this was Lin.
BILE to occur. Severn hit upon n happy
device to keep the light still burning.
One evening he fastened thread from
the bottom of the candle already light
ed to the wick ut the top of another
unlighted one set ready near by.
Not being sure the experiment would
succeed, he had not mentioned 1t, and
when later on he fell mapping as the
first candle was burning low the in
valid was too considerable to awake
him, but lay patiently awaiting the ex-
tinction of the futtering flame. Sud-
denly, just as he expected gloom and
blackness, he connecting thread-too
fine and distant for him to see-caught
fire, and tiny spark began to run
along 1t. Then he walked the sleeping
nurse with an exclamation of joyful
surprise.
"Scvern! Severnv' he cried. Here's
a little fairy lamplighter actually III

But 1t was only the good fairy OF
many sickr roms-loving forethought-
that had lighted the candle.

How the President !. Paid.


In the apportionment Of the salaries
Of all United States government en-
ployees the year is divided into quar-
tiers and each quarter subdivided ac-
cording to the number Of days in each
month, but the president receives prac-
tically the same amount every month.
Thus, IL president should die at the
end of February, after receiving his
salary for that month, his successor
would in reality receive less than the
full amount due him in March because
his predecessor had, In effect, been
overpaid the prior month. Inasmuch
MS the presidents salary may not be
divided into exactly equal parts. 1t Is
necessary to pay the chief magistrate
81, 1896 OH some months and 81, 1867
on others. On one occasion during
the Cleveland administration mis-
take was made, and there were sent
to the chief executive three successive
warrants for $4.166.66. When the
error was discovered, the treasury de-
partment hastened to dispatch to the
White House warrant on the United
States government for cent, made
out in Mr.. Cleveland's favor. though
the president never cashed this check.

The Origin of Many Name.


The popular Examinations of pet
names in earlier times were In, on, ct,
kin, cock and others. Emma was
shortened to En-, and for loves sake
it became Emmott or Emmett. Matilda
was first Til, then Tillot. Bartholomew
was Bart, then Little Bart or Bartlett.
The popularity of these pet names is
seen in the great number of them
which eventually became family
names.
The Tillotsons, the Emmetts and the
Bartletts are numerous in England and
america although few dream that
their names were nriginally pet and
not surnames. Before the use or Tam.
lily names it was often necessary to uke
d i Ii II. that
the same ffss..ss5 z q s4oI lnfrequently
given to two or three children of the
same family. The original of the sur
name Robinson is the pet name of
Robin or Little Robert
AS Germans of today add chen to
children's names as term of endear-
ment, making Anna Annchen, Eliza
beth Lischen, SO our English ancestry
used the equivalent kin. Watkin was
Little Walter, Simkin Little Simeon,
Perkin Little Peter. Examinations in
kin and cock were In use among the
lower orders-that is. among the An
glo-Saxons-while the diminutives in,
on and ct were more aristocratic and
used by families of Norman blood.
