4 TRIP 10 THE HtADGATt


 left Fl Centro for trip of examination to Sharps Heading and the Alamo river to see the structures there, and look at the conditions there obtaining.
 We accompanied Mir. w. s. Schee and Mir. c. w. Boutwell, on the trip, Mr. Schee is president and Mir Both well a director of Imperial Water Co.,. No. 5. and both these gentlemen were out on jus such trip as took. We went by team.
 On the drive to Calexico, we passed the point In the Main canal where the railroad to Calexico crosses it. At this point the big new dredger of the California Development company Is moered waiting for the railroad track to be cut 50 # can pass on down the canal te is work of channel making and levss building lower down. We stopped here and went on board the dr5dger and looked It over. Our ex- animation convinced us that there is no reason to doubt the ability of the California Development company to keep its canals open and capable of carrying any needed amount of water. From there we drove on into Calexico down Imperial avenue and past the splendid ranches of Peter Barnes. Fritz Kloke and Valentine Cant. These ranches are fine examples of what the excellent soil about Calexico will pro- duce. They are principally devoted to alfalfa and thriftIer fields one will not see anywhere. Arriving in Calexico we at once became aware of the pres ence of more water than Is desired.
 A large force of teams was working on the levee protecting the town and a force of Indians was also engaged in shoveling it up in corners and places where teams could not work to advant age. We were informed by Mir. Perry of the California Development com 'pany that when the water began to rise a few days before and it became evil dent that a flood was coming, Mir. Tit comb of the Southern Pacific made proposition to the Calexico people that if they would pay 20 per cent. of the expense the railroad company would build levee along outside their track which would protect their property and the town as well. At that time the railroad tracks were all dry and there was no water in the yards. This prop ositlon was considered at first by the people and the railroad companyi sent down a couple of trains of gravel and dirt and put up small leyee. ltEthen became apparent that the water was rising too fast for the railroad people to get the dirt there In time to build the levee where it woulae protect their property. conssaaently they threw up the job apd ea 6bs rAsp, the Cal lfonia psyeloPm pI company proposed to the peosle tlaas They would Day 15 pesssptsoffhe expense of building shs present leyeea asAhIgh as needed to' protect the town. This was accepted and the dlt wssilyIhg when we got to Calexico. w

places and as the water In New river was within an inch of its highest water
 mark and stlll rising the railroad yards
 were rapidly filling with water |
 climbed to the top of the bank building
 and the view to the west was pretty
 wet one. First is New river channel
 proper which flows by Calexieo The
 water is just ripplIng over the tops of
 the railings of the wagon bridge and is
 a raging torrent about 3-4 of a mile
 de.
 Then there is a body of higher ground a mile or more in width, that is still uncovered. Then a wide ex- panse of flooded country. so far away it was impossible for me to tell how wide it was or how swiftly It was flow ing was told that this body of wat CT was about three miles wide and was flowing a strong current, and that in fact it was possible the main channel of New river might change and run through there as a result of the cutting out that is going on. There is one thing man can quickly determine by look from the top of this building. and that Is that there is an immense amount of water passing between him and Signal Mountain.
 We got started from Calexco early Thursday morning and drove to Sharp's Heading On the way we passed the fine ranch of the California Mexican Land and Cattle Co.,, on both sides ot the boundary line, also the McHarg ranch and McCollum ranch. All of these ranches show what excellent farming country surrounds Calexico. l Alfalfa seems to be their principal crop, and it is all plenty fine enough to satisfy the most inveterate croaker.
 On the way up we passed the splen- did new headgate of the California De- Company, at what they call Station Mo- l34, which is about two or three miles west from Sharp's Heading. This gate is. for the pur- pose of controlling the amount of water coming down the main canal to Water Company No. 1, and No. 4. There Is very large waste gate here through which all the surplus water is turned out and flows into New river.
 Quite an important change has been made within the last year or SO in The location of the Alamitos ditch This is lateral canal for supplying the very highest lands in Water Company No. l. It was formerly taken out of the main canal at the point described above as the location of the controlling gate and waste way. This was found to be too low as the water flowed so slowly for the first three or four miles that the ditch soon silted up. This has all been changed now, and the AL amitos ditch is taken out at Sharp's Heading This puts 1t on high ground. covers several thousand acres of addi- tIonal land and gives the ditch plenty of fall. This changes the Alamitos from being a source of woe and the most unsatisfactory ditch In the Valley, as it formerly was. so that now it is about the best ditch in Water Go. Mo- l. Arriving at Sharp's Heading the first man we met was Mir. Sharp him self, the pioneer water man of the Cal lfornia Development Company, and the man whose continuous manage ment of the controlling gates of the company's entire system since their first bepinninps has given his name 10

gate dlschsrgins water into the Enclna
 canal, which supplied imperial Water
 Company No. 6, and large tract h
 Mexico. and the old Eastslde waste
 gate. Mir. Sharp informed us. and In
 fact showed us how the amount of
 water being discharged through the
 Enclna canal and through the waste
 gate from the main canal could be
 very largely increased; in fact 1t could
 be practically doubled with complete
 safety If necessary. These structures
 are both apparently as solid as Gib-
 ralter. and no doubt will stand just as
 they are until they rot down. From the controlling gate of the Water Go.
 No 1 main canal we drove over to the Alamo waste gate, This Is only about Poo yards, but on the way we cross the head of the Alamitos ditch and the historic levee across the Ala
 mo channel which was the beginning of Sharp's Heading and which stands and Is still In service, looking much as it dId when we first saw 1t more than four years ago, though everything else about 1t has changed
 Arriving at the Alamo waste way, we were treated to an inspiring sight. This great waste way is 80 feet wide, and the outlet of the water Is controll- ed by ten gates each 8 feet wide. The water thus released pitches down toored incline about so feet long, and strikes the body of water In the stream below with terrific force boiling and splashing up ten or twelve feet high in an excess of watery fury, The water was turned through this gate before the wings were fully completed. but not before everything was perfectly safe.
 Mir. Fred Moore and hls outfit of teams was at work filling in the wings of this waste gate. We were told that the water was turned through this gate before the carpenters had time to nall the battens over the cracks of the n- cined apron over which the water Is discharged. We were also told that the apron was we'll protected by sheet pillng so driven that the immense hole that will inevitably be bored by the dis charge of such large body of water cannot undermine or endanger the structure in any way The fact that the water being discharged through this waste way into the Alamo could have been turned out through the Enclna or the main canal waste way into New river and the structure kept out of use till fully finished and the apron battened and rendered water tight gave rise to considerable conjecture as to the req son why the water was turned through thIs gate as soon as 1t was. The only plausible reason advanced was that the engineers considered the structure ab- soutely safe, which indeed it has every appearance of being and also that if the water now being turned down the Alamo was discharged into New river through the main canal waste way or Encina canal 1t would probably raise that stream at Calexico faster than the force now available could build up the levees. Alter looking over the ground pretty thoroughly and learning all we could at this point we went over to the little waste gate formerly used as the Eastside gate. This gate has been in the ground about five years and is getting pretty we'll rotted out. The apron or Hume through which the wat CT turned through this gate was dis

Provisions from Trees.

There is a tree which grows in Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti. fies of oil and tallow are extract. ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread Itis saidto be equally good and nu tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-rhiladelphis Ledger.

-. = by Number 'f Kaiser" Present Residing n
 h America

German Migration to Soul America, and especially to som> of the southe ru states of Brazil is periodically a cause of com. ment and co3cern to some who think they see thereia sinister scheme Of Finperial conquest. For two or three strong reasQ2s says the New York FcJbune, suct. fears seem to us to 0e aot well founded. Que such reason is that the num5er of Germans In Brazi, tS 12t, after all. Cmtaous iy large The tota; population of Brazil, according to the census Of ls9h, was I4,333,915 N0 later census retHrns are available, but careful estimates now place the
 total at more than 17,090 900, of
 which nGmbor less thau 3,000,000 are india13 aud negroes, leaving
 cectaia;y mora than 14000,000
 whites. 0f tiiese, in 1901, only
 2,1GG, ,0OG were immigrants, and ot the latter number ontT 300, DOC were Germans.
 The latest and aisAast eati- mate Of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450y000, or s lit, file over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as , dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means, Portuguese immigrants iuto Bra gil are twice as numecous, and Italians three times as uumer, ous, as tue Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in certain states as to form 8 ma. jority of their population, ss some have imagined. Germans are most numerous tn Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 Of them, but the whole population of tue state IS 100000, sc that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha. rina the Germans arg 100000 in s total of 30G.000, or one third, the largest proportion in any state. Tn Pacana they are A7,00d in 29O,OO0, and in Sac PauIo 30s 900 in 1,430, ,0O0.
 It is pointed out as ominOus that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub !lsh newspapers in German and to demand the official use of thae language in courts and schools. We'll. the same may be said Of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit ical, out commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in creased commerce. In that Ger many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case toe much stress cannot easily be laid.
