SANTA BARBARA ! April -Four
new species of wild flowers have been
discovered by Miss Adele Girard Lewis
of the Carpinteria valley, young wo-
man whose studies in the science OF
botany have reached point where
they have placed her in the position OF
an authority. She has followed the
study of flowers and especially OF the
botany of the Pacific coast, as a Uni
versity of California student, and re-
Gently in this county, and her discov-
cry above announced places her name
with some of the best of the modern
botanists of the state.
II was while botanizing in the Shep-
ard canyon a few days ago that Miss
Lewis made the discovery. TWO OF the
flowers are of the genus gilia, one be-
ing white and one blue, and the Others
are of the genus phacelia and genus
lotus.
One of the flowers will be named for
the Lewis family of Carpinteria and
another for the Girard family and that
of Miss Lewis mother. The exact
names have not yet been decided upon.
Good Fishing Prospects
Forest Rangers Shoupe and Muzzall
were in the city yesterday from the
range. They stated that in the noun
tains it had been very cold for time.
On Friday last snow fell in considera-
BILE quantities. The rangers state that
oft TOR
the recent floods and that it is well
stocked with fish. Large salmon trout
are to be seen. 1t is thought that many
small fish We're killed by the freshets
of last month, which reached a height
hitherto unknown for period of
years.

bara were at the Santa Ynez river on
the morning of April 1, the opening

famous speckled beauties. r. c. EN-
mons. N. o. Emmons, Berkeley C. Bry-'
ant and young Mr.. Hadley were among

New Pipe Line
The Santa Barbara Water company
is now running water through it's new
pipe line, which has lately been con-
structed from the water box at the
junction of Canaous and Mission cam
yons. The new line starts from the
same source and empties into the same
reservoir back of the mission, but is a
great improvement over the old pipe.
The new pipe is a siX-inch Converse
lock joint and is laid in concrete,
being buried for the entire distance
from one and half to six feet under
the surface of the ground. 1t passes
under the water course of Mission
creek, but is fortified against the eff
fects of the water The new line is
much shorter and more serviceable
