LAKE 1ULARE'S
WATERS RISE

ed---Stranoe Phenome-
non in California.

Tuiarc lake, once a prominent
feature on all old maps of Califor-
MIA, and at the time enjoying the
distinction of being the largest
body of fresh water west of the
Mississippi river, is located in the
extreme southern part of San
joaquin county, at an altitude of
about 200 feet above tidewater.
In the fortics its superficial area is
said to have exceeded 200 sqaurc
miles, but in 1868 its dimensions
had shrunk to 700 square miles,
and twenty years later to less than
200. Occasional floods have raised
the level of the lake, but the gem
7eral tendency has been toward oblit-
Grafton.
Originally the lake, by a we'll
defined outlet, emptied into the
San Joaquin river, but scdimentary
deposits have gradually built up a
dixie which INSTRUCTED the flow Of
waters and made of the Tulare bs-
sin an independent system of its
own. The lake receives the waters
of Kings, Tulc, White, Waweah,
Kern, and other rivers, each drain
ing large sections of country, and
in periods of flood carrying inn
mcnsc volumes of water Though
of great superficial dimensions, the
lake is extremely shallow, the
deepest part being only 80 feet in
depth, while evaporation exceeds s
feet annually. Tulare lake has for
ages been the depository of all the
sediment brought down from the
Sierra Nevada mountains by the
rivers of the basin, which formed
a soil of the greatest fertility and,
but for liability to flood, the
wide plain constituting the basin
would have been the site of extern
ssive agricultural development and
great productivencss. Private en-
terprise aided by the state has made
several ineffective attempts to re-
open the barrier which prevents the
surplus waters from flowing back

visited San Francisco since the
earthquake and it is expected that
as result of his visit several inn
portant improvements will be order
ed in the mint building.

ing with copper and nickel at pres
ent, but outside this every mint in
the country is working night and
day on silver dollars, quarters
and dimes. No gold is being
coined at present and none will be
for three months. The total COIN
age for the year will run very
high, possibly over 5000, 900, 900"
Asked why paper money of 81
and 81 bill denominations are not
more generally circulated in the
west, Mr.. Roberts said:
"The principal reason is that
western bankers and others send
ing east for money, if they ask for
paper money, must pay the express
charges on it. If they order silver
the government pays the charges.
This is the secret of the immense
circulation of silver in your own
state and other western states"
Mr.. Roberts declared that the
great demand for silver at this time
is due to the general increased ac-
tivity in trade all over the country.
1t is expected that before the year
is up a large amount of gold will
be coined. Last year the total COIN
age of United States minis amount
ed to but sci, 900, 900.

terly destroying the results of ten
years of unremitting work expend-
ed by the industrious colonists.
Where were once wide-spreading
tracts of highly-cultivated farms,
there is now but a waste of waters,
above which rise the ruins of great
harvcstcrs and the wrecks of homes.
The loss cannot yet be estimated,
but it is widespread and will run
into millions. There is no prospect
OF the lake resuming its level of the
early part of the year, when not
over ten square miles of land was
submerged, for the rivers are still
pouring great floods into the basin,
and will continue to do so for the
next six months, as the present
high stages will be succeeded by
the usual summer flood, arising
from melting SHOWS from the Sier-
ras, and is sure to be of uncxamplcd
magnitude. Observers report a
depth of snow on the summit of the
eastern ranges of % to 80 feet, ex-
tending to low attitudes, and as
this will not begin melting before
the month of June, the outlook for
Tulare is ominous.

through the old channel, and thus
draining the whole basin, but the
undertaking involved dredging a
channel 80 miles long and, in
places, 80 feet in depth, and re-
quircd an outlay of capital beyond
the ability of the district to raise,
though il is estimated some three
quarters of a million acres would be
reclaimed and made fit for cultiva-
tion if the project were carried
out.
Within the last tea years Tulsre
lake has been visibly growing less
in dimensions, and the belief in its
permanent disappearance has be-
come settled in the minds of those
who were interested in the land
once covered by its waters. Sever
al reclamation districts were organ
lied, appropriating $50, 900 acres of
the old lake bed, and large area
put under cultivation. The fer
tility of the land was demonstrated
and immense crops were raised,
the land being protected by levees
and carefully drained at an expense
of several millions. Faith in the
future was stimulated by absence of
floods, and the ease with which the
surplus waters of the rivers were
disposed of through the customary
channels, and by the belief in the
capacity of the numerous irrigating
districts to consume all the waters
of all the rivers which normally
discharge into the lake; moreover,
the rainfall of the region for over
ten years had been light, and the
change in the seasons seemed to
have become permanent The pres
cnt year opened with less than the
usual rainfall, and more land was
put under cultivation in Tularc ba-
sin than ever before. Thousands of
acres which no plow had ever
touched were planted to grain and
fruit, and UP to the first of Febru-
airy the outlook of the lake jewellers
was most alluring. A vast amount
had been laid out in permanen,
improvements and farming ma
chinery, and appearance flattered
the most exalted hopes of abundant
crops of every description. These
would have been fulfilled had not
the early months of 1906 violated
all precedent, and proved the most
extraordinary in point of rainfall ir
the history of the state. Conditions
were reversed. All the region in
cluded in the upper part of Sar
Joaquin valley was drenched with
continuous rains for two months,
and every watercourse emptied un'
preccdented floods and, having NJ
outlet, covered the bed of Tulare
lake to a depth which submerged
every acre of cultivated land with
in its boundaries, swallowing VI

Shaw regards the present price as
too high to warrant the government
in making any more purchases at
those prices. The treasury depart
menti began its present purchases
August and since that time ap-
proximately S, 500, 900 ounces have
been purchased at prices ranging
from 65A to 1892 cents per ounce.

his neglect TO Investigate her case for
nearly two weeks after it was reported

The same day that The Tribune made
its exposure of the case, the bishop

PLANT EVOLUTION
FULLY EXPLAINED
Eminent Biologist viii Speak
to University Students on
Subject Wednesday.

DR.. George Fl. Shull, one of the most
prominent. biologists Of the United
States, will speak to the students Of
the University Wednesday afternoon
at o clock, in the Museum building,
upon the subject of PLANT Breed
ing. DR.. Shull is in charge of the
station of experimental evolution of the
Carnegie Institute, at Cold Springs
Harbor, Long Island He is now on
his way to investigate the work being
done at the Burbank farm, which was
recently placed in his charge.
The work done By Mr. Burbank was
not recorded and his methods could not
always be repeated, so the officers of
the Carnegie Institute agreed TO pay
one hundfed thousand dollars if they
should be permitted 10 take hold of
the work for ten years and record ev-
erything done in a scientific and sys-
tematic manner. Dr. Shull was placed
directly in charge of the work, which
he carries along in connection with the
experimental work at Cold Springs Har-
Dor. Twice year, DR. Shull makes
his visit 10 the coast. lie will be In
Salt Lake for a few days on his way
to California. While here he will be
the guest of Professor l. n. Cardiff of
the University
by DR.. Shull to be given tomorrow af
ternoon upon the particular work
which he is now pursuing. The dis
cussion will not be along technical
lines so that persons In the city who
are interested in plant evolution may
have the pleasure of hearing such an
eminent authority.
Professor Stuart of the Academy of
Science of California was n visitor at
the University of Utah Monday after
noon. He is one of the members of
the commission appointed by the
academy to study the botanical life OF
the Galapagos Islands These islands
are situated about three hundred miles
of the coast Of Eucador For the
last eighteen months, Professor Stuart
has been studying the plant life found
there. He is now on his way to Har
ward TO classify the specimens he has
collected This work cannot be done in
California as the library and collec-
tions of the Academy were burned in
the San Francisco fire.
Professor Stuart was favorably i'm
pressed with the University. Consider
ing the short time which the school
has been established he feels that much
has been accomplished. The work in
the department Of biology especially
pleased him.
