which has been for several years past
simply a matter of history, and whose
former bed has afforded wide fields
for the planting of thousands of acres
OF grain, is now once more a reality.
The heavy rush of water from the ST.
ezra Nevadas during the past month
has filled up the old bed, until the ex-
panse of water now measures. a score
of miles across. and whole townships,
which two months ago gave promise
of an abundant harvest. are now COM
pletely inundated.
The torrents from the st. Johns.
Kings and Tule rivers have all broken
over the barriers which have served
as effective dams for the past twenty
five years and have found their way
into the old BASIN Thus waters ap-
preached the lake bed from three sides
the northern. the eastern and south
ern borders. The largs dams, which
had been built across the bed of the
lake in all directions by the farmers
as a precautionary measure against a
possible inundation. were all too weak
to withstand the heavy torrent which
rolled in, and 1evee after levee gave
way, until the entire central part of the
basin was covered.
Though the heaviest rush OF the
freshet is now over the advance of the
boundaries of the lake upon the farms
still continues. Farming crews have
moved out by the wholesale. During

Well Known General Said to

-@O-~--~
NEW YORK, April 1T was reported
about the City Hall today that Police
Commissioner Theodore A. Bingham had
been slated to go and that his successor
would be Lieutenant General Adna r.
Chaffee, retired. This found partial con-
firmation tonight in dispatches from the
West, which stated that General Chaffee
had in letters admitted he had been Of
fered a high official position In New York.
General Chaffee was offered the Police
Commissionership before Ii was rendered
TO Colonel Bingham, but was then unable
to accept owing, 1t is said, to other du-
ties. As he is now free the report of la ST
night was taken by his friends in this
city to mean that he was at last to take
charge of the New York police force.
The general and Mrs Chaffee are now
travelling in Mexico. 1t had been the gen
erals Intention after this tour to live in
Los Angeles, but the letter received there
today by one of his friends dissipated this
hope. The general wrote that he had re-
ceived an offer of high official position
in New York City and he thought of ac-
cepting It, He did not mention the posi-
ton, but those intimately acquainted with
the general say that great pressure has
been brought to bear upon him recently
to accept the Police Commissionership.
This is taken to mean that he will as
suine the office of Police Commissioner
about April Is.
LOS ANGELES, April "A letter from
General Adna r.. Chaffee, who with Mrs.
Chaffee is now in Mexico, to friends in
this city states that they will not come

tended, but will proceed to New Orleans.
from which place they win leave for New
York on April z. The letter states that
General Chaftee has been offered an i'm
portant public office in New York City and
that it is likely he will accept it. No in
timation was given in the letter as To the
nature of the position rendered. 1t was
the intention of General Chaffee to come
TO this city within the next month to es-
tablish his permanent home here.

LOS ANGELES. april Mark Gotta.
a handsome Spanish boy of Is years. met
death in a most horrible manner this
afternoon by falling into the furnace at
the new public incinerator on Tenth
street, near Santa Fe avenue In his
eagerness to snatch few scraps OF
metal from a load Of garbage as 1t was
being dumped into the hopper the lad
slipped and was shot into the seething
pit of fire below, to be literally roasted
alive.
Half a dozen men were working near
by. but the only one to see the accident
was Halet Antoine, a Frenchman, who
speaks no English. He was several min
.utes In making the others understand.
Antoine saw the boy slip and pitch for
ward, and heard his last agonized scream
as he shot down the fiery funnel. but the
roar of the furnace drowned the sound
of his voice.
Finally, when Gabe Allen, superinten-
dent and chief engineer at the incinera-
tor. was told that some one had fallen
into the furnace he would not believe 1t
and thought the men were joking.
