WOULD CONSERVE
WATERS Of STATE

The Native Sons of the Golden West
are making a determined effort to secure
the conservation and distribution Of the
available waters Of the State, and to that
end the Grand Parlor, at its last meet
ing, adopted resolutions pledging the
members to use every endeavor to pro-
mote legislation in favor of this vital
subject
The following memorial to the Leg!sla-
ture of the State of California has been
prepared:
To the Members Of the Legislature Of the
mittee, representing the organization of the
Native Sons of the Golden West. respectfully
calls your attention to the following resolu-
tions adopted at the last meeting OF the Grand
Parlor Of the order:
Whereas 1t has been demonstrated that
a skillful and scientific employment Of the
available waters of the State for irrigation
purposes would make possible the support in
the best conditions of life. of more than twenty
times our present population; and
Whereas, The present condition of our laws
is an insurmountable obstacle to the develop
ment Of a proper and successful system OF
irrigation; and
Whereas The lack of general information
on this subject has retarded the development
Of an enlightened public opinion that would
cTystallize into the reformation Of the law;
therefore be it
Resolved That the Native Sons of the
Golden West pledge themselves to devote their
energies TO the awakening OF interest in and
the creation of opinion this vital subject
and to the promotion of legislation that will
insure the conservation and distribution of
water"
Science and experience have in recent years
impressed upon ali intelligent men the vast
possibilities that at the command OF our
people did they but develop and regulate the
abundant waters of the State. An acre II
land hitherto unwater becomes many acres

irrigated. The land OF California under sys-
tematic irrigation would enlarge the capabII-
tiles Of the State more than the discovery

all that is necessary is that skill science and

is under the control Of your law-making body
The twin subjects Of forest preservation and
irrigation. which depend upon each other are
now largely occupying the attention of the
this subject is largely matter OF State con-

WOMAN B|CAM|sT
GENTLY TREATED
Mrs. de La Guerra Sen
fenced to One Day
in Prison.
Judge Cook Complies With
the Law, but Imposes
Minimum Penalty.

Mrs. Francesca de la Guerra. who was
convicted on a charge of bigamy, was
sentenced by Judge Cook yesterday to pay
a fine of $50 and to serve one day in the
States prison to satisfy the law. This Is
the shortest sentence of the kind on rec
ord. The penalty for bigamy is fine not
exceeding $1,000 and not more than three
years in the States prison, and both must
be imposed. The fine in this case was TO
cover the expenses Of witnesses from a
distance. Mrs. de la Guerra collapsed In
court and had to be almost carried away
by her friends. The light sentence was
imposed with the consent of the District
Attorney, as both he and the Judge be-
lieved her when she testified that she had
parted from w. A. Fitzgerald he had told
her he would obtain a divorce from her
and she never doubted that he had carried
out his word when she married Carlos de
la Guerra in this city in May last.
A motion for a new trial was made Sat
urday by Attorney Gould, which the
Judge denied yesterday. but allowed a
stay of ten days to enable Gould to ap-
peal to the Supreme Court, as most in
teresting point in regard to bigamy cases
is involved as to a husband testifying
against his wife. In denying the motion
the Judge said:
On the trial of this case the court in its rul-
ing and charge was governed by the Following
which
State notwithstanding the fact that other ju-
risdictons have held to contrary doctrines,
viz: People VS. Stokes and cases in other
States. l was at first In doubt whether the
case of Hunter VS. Hunter "a divorce case)
and the case OF People vs. Douglas did not
overrule the Stokes case and other cases cited,
but examination of the case of People VS..
Boo Doc Hong convinced me- that the rule
laid down in the Stokes case stands as the
law of this State and that this case Is one
of the exceptions to the rule mentioned In the
Boo Doc Hong case, for if it were otherwise
this crime could never be proved; it certainly
ought to be an exception
If the testimony OF the only witness by
whom can be established the negative fact of
divorce is incompetent because the witness
is the husband of the defendant it would
seem absurdity to hold that the District
Attorney must prove that he is still the hus-
band because not divorced by producing the
records of every court from every State and
country where a divorce might possibly have
been obtained.
Divorce proceedings are purely statutory and
been proved-that such status continues; it is
not like death which must come to all-it is
a mere possibility.
The Hunter case refers to what is said in
the Stokes case relative to death. not d
vorce. There is knowing where a divorce
might have been obtained, for the laws OF all
States and countries differ and residence even
may not be required in some places.
But beyond this construction of the law this
motion must be denied for by objecting to the
witness Fitzgerald. testifying the ground
that he was her husband defendant admitted
that there was an existing marriage.

 Alfalfa.
 Now while I am on the nay question I wish to sound a word of warning to our readers on alfalfa. The country now has a craze on this subject and there is entirely too much being claimed for al- falfa. True this is a valuable hay plant, and should be much more generally grown. But like all other plants, 1t has it's choice of soil.- and to sow 1t on lands and in sections where the climate does not suit Is only waste of time and means.
 I have given this subject careful con- sideration and have examined the crop as 1t is being grown In nearly all our southern and western states. have seen the plant at its best under irrfga- ton. as well as growing without and If our farmers could only realize just half the results, as is claimed by some of our them well to grow the crop. Now we have in Alabama many fine farms along our rivers where alfalfa may be grown to good profit, but to attempt to grow alfalfa on our nplands would only be a wasted of time and msans How ever, I am fully convinced that there are many acres of fine land now set to Johnson grass which would pay Tar better if set to alfalfa As alfalfa should be sown early in the fall I will soon give a chapter on how to prepare the soil when and how to SOW, etc. In the mean time let the work of breaking the soil commence early, as soon now as other crops are cleared off out of the way.
 Rye.
 It is now nearing the time for the sowing of rye for fall and winter pasture and it is to be hoped that our farmers will take warning from past experience of trying to get stock through winter without some green feed. Here in the sunny south where rye and other pas lures will grow green all the winter there is no excuse for having poor stock.
 l was greatly surprised last winter at seeing the hundreds of cattle dead on the prairies of Texas, and most of them sim ply starved to death, when thousands of acres of fine land lying bare and idle and which was capable of producing enough fine winter pasture of rye, bar ley. oats or wheat, the rye the best, to have kept every COW fat. l can. not see it in any other light but criminal negli- genee to keep or own stock and have them suffer and die of hunger, especially when nature has been so lavish in pro- viding us so many plants which may be used for pasture. May we not hope to see every one of our southern fields kept green in some of these crops the coming winter.
