Irrigation Works

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 20.-John D. Spreck- els has determined to carry out plans for an immense system of water storage for irrigation in the southern part of the state. He will complete the unfinished projects of the Southern California Mountain Water company. This is the first plan formulated by Spreckles in his visit here this week and perhaps overshadows any other feature of his mission in San Diego.
 Spreckels will make careful examin- ation of all the plans and specifications of the Southern California Mountain Water company, assisted by his engin eers and an engineer of the old water company.
 The San Francisco millionaire has in dulged in the prophecy that the period of dry years in Southern California has reached its limit.

CONDITION OF CROPS
Grain Is DoiEg Finely in All Parts
 of the Valley


 There is universal satisfaction through the valley at the condition of the crops. Since the breaks in the canal, making a temporary shortage in water, there has been a steady improvement in the con- dition, and for three weeks no complaint has been heard from any section.
 With water being used in abundance, the crops are responding finely, and everyv here the big grain fields are giv- ing rich color to the landscape. There is in the neighborhood of O,OOO acres of grain growing under the irrigation sys- tenn, and the outlook is for good prices either for grain or hay.
 While the situation on the coast has been somewhat improved by two small storms, there does not seem to be bright prospect for big grain or grass yields, and the result is the continuous arrival of cattle in Imperial. So great is the importation of milch and beef cattle that it does not now look as though there would be heavy export of hay. Whatever is sent out is more apt to be in the form of butter and beef cattle, which will imply greater profit for producers.
 The arrival of cattle is leading to ex- tensive fence building in the valley, many farm being fitted up in this way, to make it possible to pasture cattle without the expense of herding them.
 Taken on the whole, the great thrift is evident in all parts of the valley. and the farmers were never more busy than at present in making permanent i'm prOvements.

who was placed on trial I'm the Court OF

charged with arson, to his boarding
mistress, Mrs. Barbara Tott. who had
put Pulaski out because he was in
arrears with his board.
Pulaski was indicted at the May term
Of the Court OF General Sessions ON tho
same charge but because OF some
flaw In the indictment Il was nole
pressed. The defendant was rearrest-
ed. however and held until the present
term when he was again Indicted.
Pulaski Is being defended by Franklin
Brockson.
The defendant had boarded with Mrs.
Tott al No 1924 East Thirteenth street

she told him 20 leave. Pulaski is al-
legged TO have returned and set fire TO
the dwelling while Mrs. Tott and

Mrs. Tott, who Is a Hungarian was
the frst witness called by the State.
As she does not speak English # took
considerable time to interpret her tes-
timony. The witness told about telling
Pulaski TO leave and said she heard
him tell some other people that IL he
had TO go she would soon have no
house TO live IN.
ON the evening Of the day the de-
fendant was put out he returned with a

a south wind, rapidly ate into the very
centre Of Delaware's seashore resort.
There were no means Of checking the

in their power to stop its progress, but
they were unable to cope with the
flames. which had gained considerable
headway when discovered.
Crowds of people drove over from
Lewes to assist the mere handful Of
men here in saving the property.
FIRE started in cottage.
The origin of the fire Is not known
at present, save that It broke out in
the cottage recently occupied by the
late Mrs. Comfort Ann King on Reho-

Three cottages have been completely

way company will be notified TO begin the
work of repairing between and along side
Of its tracks at once. Unless the order Is
Immediately complied with, the board
will have the work done itself and charge
the railway company for it.
A Novel Proposition.
Theodore A. Lessen, secretary Of the
Iandlith Improvement Company asked
the board to grade Seventeenth street
from Church to Thatcher streets and Lo-
Gust street from Seventeenth TO Nandever
avenue. Mr.. Melvin suggested that the
company pay the. department $1,000 due In
liens for sewers and the board would then
use this money to make the desired I'M
provements. Mr.. Leisen said that while
he didn't think the company could pay
such a sum between now and January l.
he was certain that it could pay at least
s2OOO This proposition was agreeable to
the board and as soon as the money is
paid into the department, il will be used
to grade the streets in question.
Partners at Loggerhead.

and informed the members that while he
was laying curb in Broome street be

future payments.
