IRRIGATION DISTRICT is
DISSOLVED BY COURT
ImpossibiIity of Getting Water From
Bear Valley Renders Machinery
and Improvements Useless

Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, July 10. = Another
Riverside county irrigation district has
passed out of existence. This time it
first to organize under the Wright act.
An irrigation system costing a hun
dred thousand dollars as installed and
water from Bear valley reservoir was
secured. For the past ten years, how
ever, there has been but little use for
the steel pressure pipe. No water was
to be had from Bear valley, Redlands
having a prior right to the entire
amount. Gradually the fertile valley
has been reduced to original desert,
lack of water compelling the abandon
ment of once valuable properties.
The directors of the district therefore,
few weeks ago, filed a petition asking
that the district be dissolved and its
property be sold to pay the debts.
These were not large, being less than
$4,000. but there was no cash to sat
isfy them nor any means of raising the
money by other methods. Thus It
comes that tract of over 5000 acres Of
land, as fertile as any in Southern CAL
ifornia, covered with a network of
pipes, canals and bitches. will be sold
to satisfy this comparatively trifiing
debt.
The decree which wiped out the irri-
cation district was signed this morn
ing by Judge Oster of San Bernardino,
sitting for Judge Noyes
Subirrigation systems are being In
stalled at the Grant and Lincoln
schools. This will make it possible 10
irrigate the school shade trees without
running bitches or wetting the grounds.

Angeles chamber of commerce Portland

ADDRESS ON MONOPOLY
CREATES MUCH STIR
Venice Lecturer UphoIds Commissions
er GarfieId's Report on Investi-
cation of Beef Trust
SpeciaI to The HeraId.

Special to The Herald
VENICE, July 19.-William e.
Smythe touched on a number of live
topice in his lecture on The Tanning
of Monopoly" before the Venice as
sembly tonight. His adress could well
be divided into three parts, a reply to
the Socialists, a discussion OF New
lands Railroad bill, and most impor-
tant of all, a defense of Garfield's re-
port on the beef trust.
In his discussion of the evils of rail-
read monopoly Mr.. Smythe made use
Of the most scathing terms. He de-
nounced the Esch-Townsend bill for
rate regulation as 'puerile and ri
diculous,' and referred to the United
States senate as the bulwark of vested
wrongs.
The Newland railroad plan he sum-
married. as follows:
First-We shall cease our futile ef-
forts to destroy monopoly, but in
stead, shall tame it,
Second-The capital represented by
the present value of the property will
receive a normal return of four per
cent, and all surplus earnings shall
be given to the public In the form Of
better service.
In speaking of Garfield's report
upon the beef trust Mr.. Smythe
said: "I am, perhaps, unique in
this, that 1 have absolute faith
in James Rudolph Garfield and
the bureau Of corporations. Garfield
knows more about beef than does the
Kansas legislature, and the day win
come for Kansas to apologize.
IT will not attempt to defend some
minor features of the report, but Gar
field found that principles of trade
which were well enough in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
are dead letters in the twentieth.
Amateur yachtsmen of the Venice
district will race for the beautiful

tween here and Playa del Rey next

OF Playa del Rey has offered, to the

this race a yearly event. Judges and
