THE DESERT TRANSFORMED.
How California County, Twice the Size of
Connecticut, Was Redeemed.

story Of a remarkable Western county:
''Thirty-two years ago there only one house
in the town OF Fresno. in the central desert Of
California. hole dug under 1t. forty feet
deep, into which tho inmates lowered themselves
by bucket and windlass escape the heat of
the day Around it, far the eye could see
stretched the glarng desert. unbroken by any
cultivated spot OF green. The whole country
seemed a hopeless wasta-dead and profitIess.
To-day this spot is the centre of cheerful COM
munity OF eight thousand homes in a land made
fertile by irrigation. Ten thousand children attend
its public schools. The industries there yield
100000 annually The raisin crop OF 1902 put into
the farmers bank accounts $500 900. All the
raisins imported into the United States in 1902
amounted In value to only 100000 In 1902 the oil
wells of Fresno County yielded $4,000 barrels Of
crude petroleum. worth $4,000 before refining.

II appears that Col. ID. X. B. Sci

estate line in Albuquerque. He gave
dinner-a very elaborate affair

eevnt was to celebrate the sale of
one hundred town lots. according to

terday reported that great many
horses were starving to death on the
range and in the lanes. A large bunch

where the fence was down. unable to
get bite OF anything, unless it be
sagebrush or other bushes. Parties
were looking for the humane officers
to get them to take some action in
the matter, but there is no agent
here, and the district attorney and
deputy are both out of town. The par
ties living in town thought of taking
up the stock or some OF 1t, but did not
know what method to take. The state
bureau of Child and Animal protec
tion, however. assures anyone who
takes up starving stock that they
will he reimbursed. and as any horse
is good for it's feed. there is no dan
ger of anyone who feeds them losing
of having one or more reliable wit
nesses to prove that the stock was
either starving or in danger of starv-
ing to death. The bureau of Child
and Animal protection mas been mott
fed OF the condition here, but have
been unable TO get around TO this
place to investigate complaints, for
the reason that the force of men
which the society has is too small
to get around and keep up with the
work, as complaints are coming in
from all over the state. In this con
nsction, it would be a good plan for
parties who are interested in humane
work to write to the representative
DIR. McEwen. and the senator, Hon
John ]. Harris, and urge them to use
their influence in support Of the bill
introduced in the legislature for an
appropriation for the bureau of Child
and Animal protection. The bureau
cannot possibly perform the work il
has to do unless it gets an appro
priation.
