Ing. noon and night, TO the exclusion
OF every other gem she owns. A few
years ago her prime favorfte was an
elaborate diamond brooch with an en-
erald center. The large emerald could
be detached and wore alone. and this
had been the wedding present OF Mr.
Mackay. The attractive young woman
was seldom without the brooch or its
central stone. But q tremendous naar-
shaped opal Is the latest This Is a
brand new gem and is mounted In a set
ting OF small diamonds. This hangs In
the lailque fashion from diamond

Mackay II she Is not superstitious. For
some reason the fiery opal never has
been popular with women OF fashion
1t may be the evil reputation OF the opal
or the fact that only large on1s are ex-

A LUXURY foe VopagerS.

There are times at sea when the voy-
ager doesn't feel like dragging his trunk
from under his berth to get at what he
wants. not TO mention the effort neces-
sary to push It back
To meet this condition Of things there
is a novelty IN trunks. namely, a
steamer trunk. with a urOp front
The front OF this trunk Is hinged to
the bottom. Inside are two covered
trays. When the front is dropped on
its hinges these trays can be pulled out
as readily as bureau drawers and with
no more eXertiOn.
This innovation doesn't exactly come
cheap. but It is certainly a luxury.

The Modesto and Turlock canals,
both watering the same region. consti-
tute the greatest irrigation system in
America. The canals, traversing an
area of 260,000 acres, aggregate about
$50 miles. The mains are seventy-fou
and sixty-four feet wide on the bottom
and are designed to carry a depth of
eight and six feet of water, respec-
lively.
The Tuolumne River, with a water
shed second only to that of one other
stream in the State, furnishes an
abundant supply for these artificial
rivers. The cost of the works has been
81, 100000. Already 10000 acres of the
land whicb has made Stanislaus first
in wheat production has been with
drawn from that industry and planted
TO fruits, vineyard and other field pro-
ducts with success. Next season will
see $4,000 acres under such cultivation,
and in less than five years 100000 acres
will be devoted to diversified industry.
People from all sections of the State
will visit Modesto to witness this cele-
bration, as the completion of this great
water system will demonstrate the feas-
ibility and practicability of successfully
handling water under the Wright law,
which means that the water is owned
and controlled by the people. The trip
will be delightful one. Train and car
riage excursions will carry the visitors
to a score of great canals full of water,

San Francisco capitalists in road build

from Los Gatos TO this city by way Of
Campbell. others into Berryessa and
Evergreen and a line by way of Santa
