end a huge spillway is cut in the sol
i'd rock wide enough to carry away
the heaviest flood that can eve come
down the river, for of course it is not
the intention of the builders to have
the water flow over the dam, but to
have it high enough so that the natur-
al set of the river will be over the
artificial spillway.
The whole enterprise will cost ap-
proximately $500, 900 and will water
some 20, 900 acres of splendid land,
making the cost per acre to the farm
er about $50, which is repaid in ten
yearly installments of So each. The
whole system is a fine piece of work
and highly creditable to the reclama-
ton service.
The water was turned into the
bitches on May 1 and the whole valley
is throbbing with a new life. Lands
that have lain die for years are again
being plowed. Orchards that died for
want of the life-givilg fluid are being
~re-planted; lands that two years ago
were begging for buyers at SIS and
$40 an acre are now held at $50 and
800. Compared with other irrigated
sections in the west land is very
cheap here. There is also considerable
government land open yet lower down
the valley, that inside of ten years
will be reached by the canal system,
then reinforced by projected reser-
voirs to impound the flood waters that
now run to waste.
The soil here is quite different from
the soil above and about Roswell, be-
ing more sandy and much lighter.
Everything grows here, cotton being
one of their staple crops, and a cot
ton gin is to be built during the com
ing year. The climate is a little warm
err than the upper valley and the win
tiers some milder.
1t was mere at Carlsbad that George
H. Webster, a young Chicago a
astonished the Kansaas by raising
alfalfa hogs, finishing them on Kafir
corn and shipping them by carloads
to the Kansas City market. Probably
many Gazette readers will remember
the jokes that went around the Kan
sas City stool yards at the audacious
and successful attempt to raise,
fatten and ship hogs from the Pecos
Valley of New Mexico into the great
hog producing, h~og-raising market
in the world. But he did it, his tender
foot farmer. and made some good mon

a City market.
1t was this same George Webster
who started in to see if he could find
artesian water in the Carlsbad dis
trict. At 225 feet he struck a lot of
splendid water. So down he went IN
til at 365 feet he struck a bed of rock
salt that assayed 80 per cent pure.
INTO this bed of salt they bored day
after day until they had one 600 feet
further, when, at a depth of 975 feet,
ne gave it up as a bad job, being still
in rock salt and no signs of its end
ing. Some day Carlsbad will have a
huge salt works in addition to its otl-
err assets.
To the east and south of Carlsbad
stretches the great Staken Plains for
a hundred miles. and here is the open
range in all, its glory, for it is one
great billowy prairie in every direc-
ton, watered solely by windmills that
pump up water from a depth of 200
to 500 feet, soft, pure water in seem
ilgly inexhaustible supply. 1t is an
odd thing now this great Staked Plain
country has so little surface water,
and yet is underlaid with such a splen
did supply.
Carlsbad has just celebrated the
completion of her water system by a
great Fourth of July entertainment
which was territorial in its scope, for
the territorial legislature appropriate
ed quite a sum of money to help
them out. Thousands came from all
over southwest and were royalty
entertained. Carlsbad is essentially a
city of homes with wide. shady
streets, miles of cement sidewalks,
fine business blocks and excellent no
tel accommodations, and from now
on it will grow as only a live west
ern town can grow wnen it tries real
hard.

Symphony Orchestra

All of the music purchased by Harley
Hamilton while abroad for the use of the
Los Angeles symphony orchestra for this
season has arrived. It has been segre-
gated and the selections for the first con-
cert turned into the hands of the orches-
ira membership, and the first rehearsal
was held last Tuesday afternoon at Blan-
chard hall Director Hamilton is greatly
pleased with the quiet practice work
which has been kept up by the members
of the orchestra during the summer sea-
son. The new members added will go far
toward protecting the ensemble work
The first concert will take place at
Temple Auditorium on Friday afternoon,
November Is; the season seat sale is now
on at the Bartlett Music company, and
those who desire good locations should Sc
cure them at once. But six concerts will
be given this season.
The soloist for the first concert will be
Otie Chew-Becker violinlst She will
play Mozarts A-major concerto which
has not yet been played in America 1t is
a most interesting number, and one of
the finest compositions written by him.
Another novel feature is that Joachim
wrote the cadenzas and at his death left
them in manuscript. They have been
lately printed, however, but Mrs Becker
retains copy in manuscript given her
by Joachim. Mrs. Becker played this
Mozart number in Berlin with the Phil
harmonic orchestra three years ago. and
afterwards at Elberfeld, at which playing
a German critic fattered her by saying
she was a very clever artist and that
Mozart had written very excellent COM
posltion; that Mrs. Becker's work was
extremely beautiful, but that 1t was too
bad that the little English woman would
spoil her artistic work in the concerto by
unfortunately introducing cadenzas, evil
IDENTIFY written by a very inferior composer
and which did not conform with the beau
ties of the Mozart work
Mr. Hamilton's numbers for this open
ing program are to be most interesting,
and all of them new to the Los Angeles
people and fitting opening for the elev-
enth symphony season.

Paderewski,s First Tour

Madame Szumowska, a talented and
charming pupil of Paderewskis, relates
the following anecdote of Paderewski's s
first tour which was in Russia and when
he was but 16 years of age and which
anecdote he is very fond of telling him
self:
He had announced a concert at a GER
tain small town, but on arriving found
that no piano was to be had for love
or money. Finally he learned that a
general living some miles away had a
piano. The general was perfectly will
ing on being applied to to lend his in
strument but when Paderewski tried it
he found to his dismay that 1t was so
terribly out of repair that some of the
hammers would stick to the strings in
stead of falling back. However, 1t was
too late to back out. The audience was
assembling and IN this emergency a
bright thought occurred to the pianist
He sent for a switch and engaged a
boy to whip down the refractory ham
mers whenever necessary. So bang went
the chords and swish went the whip,
and the audience liked the improvised
duet more perhaps than 1t would have
enpoyed the promised piano solo.

Maud Powell. vioIinist

The musical season which opened so
auspiciously with Nine. Johanna Gadski
at Simpson auditorium last week is
to be further augmented by the coming
of another talented entertainer Friday
evening, November /, at Simpson audi
torium, when Maud Powell, violinist,
cons tituting the second event of the
Philharmonic course, will be heard in
recital, assisted by Maurice Eisner,
pianist.
Maud Powell was introduced to the
American music-loving public by Theo-
dore Thomas at the concerts of the New
York Philharmonic and at his own
symphony concerts. To the end of his
career as the greatest musician con-
ductor and conductor musician of his
time he stood as musical godfather to
Maud Powell. Indeed he used, in his
genial, fatherly way, to present her to
his orchestra as his musical godchild''
and say to them, "Conjure up in your
minds the names of the few really great
violinists who have visited this country
during the past few years, and ask your

Owing to the early visit of Madame
Gadslki and the unexpected early rain,
quite a number who desired to take ad-
vantage OF the great Philharmonic
course tickets were disappointed. Man
ager Behymer has been requested to
make some arrangement by which the
Philharmonic course tickets can re-
main open for little longer period,
and has arranged as substitute for
the Madame Gadski concert, which is
past to give to the new subscribers of
the philharmonic course instead of the
Gadski recital ticket for the recital
to be given at the close of the season
by Nine. Louise Homer, and the season
ticket sale for the great Philharmonic
course as thus arranged will continue
for month longer at the Bartlett Music
company.

violinist and as nothing else, and she has

She has been Maud Powell, the violinist,

powers that music that she was playing,
