HUMBOLDT RIVER
RISING
HIGHEST POINT OF
THE SEASON rs REACHED
Rise of the River Watched with In
terest by Ranchers in Lovelock
and other Points

The Humboldt river is rapidly rls-
ing and has now reached the high
water mark of the season 1t is flow
ing bank full and If the rise increases
there will be an overflow The rains
cf the past two days and the subse-
quent warm weather have been the
cause of the high water.
The regular spring rise of the Hum
hodt is watched with considerable
anxiety by the rancher of the Love
lock valley and those south of Wni-
nemucea who draw their irrigation
waters from the river. If the rise
comes too early and the accumulated
moisture runs away before~it can be
utilized great hardship follows later
on in the year when the water is need
ed and the river is low. The rise Of
the river this year is occurring at the
proper season. considering that the
sea on is much earlier this year than
last.

What I am trying to get down to with

AT the base of all education in this

it is my intention to extend them wher-

the better sense of the parents of the

REGISTRAR PRESC0TT'S FORCE
is KEPT BUSY
Uncle Sam Has Ten Millions of Acres
to Dispose of In the Exten-
sive Los Angeles
District

Los Angeles officials of the govern
ment land office say the rush Of the
past few weeks has been unprecedented
Most of the receipts coming in and
the rush for filings grow out of the
Imperial valley stampede, where the
unprecedented crops have attracted
hundreds of land hungry settlers de-
flowing Colorado river.
The Los Angeles land district Is zoe
miles north and south and 500 miles
east and west, embracing all of Los
Angeles, Orange and San Diego coun-
ties and portions of San Bernardino
Ventura, Kern and Santa Barbara
counties.
Vacant government land remote from
cities but generally near postoffices in
vites homesteaders in these counties,
comprising some 100000 acres.
There are mountainous, hilly, rolling
and level stretches to be had also
resort lands in Mojave, Colorado and
Imperial desert sections.
Mountain lands are suitable for live
stock or bees, where irrigation pro-
duces apples, cherries, barley and the
like.
Foothills and rolling land with water
will produce Olives oranges, lines,
lemons and alfalfa.
In seasons of abundant rainfall mesa
lands will produce grain, while thou
sands of acres are available for wine
grapes.
Reclamation Brings Fortunes
Near Indio remarkable reclamation
work has been done with artesian wells
in raising melons, cantaloupes, alfalfa
Diego county Colorado river water has
reclaimed thousands of acres.
Townships along the Colorado river
have been thrown open under the
strictest application of the homestead
laws, while others have been reserved
for reclamation by federal canals.
Few timber lands remain vacant,
most of them being confined to govern
ment reserves.
The channel islands, unpatented, are
reserved for government purposes un-
der the treasury department
1--WE have remarkable demand for
the Imperial valley lands" said Gen.
Frank c. Prescott, registrar of the To-
cal land office, "for this land, which
costs 81 an acre in some places, is
easily worth $100 to the homesteader
Immediately on taking possession, be-
cause the crops raised there are weeks
in advance of any other.

gives this office much to do in the way

WORK NEVER STOPS
ON THE OUTFALL
FINANCE COMMITTEE FINDS
THE FUNDS
Less Than One-Fifth of the Boring
Through Water Lands Is
All That Needs to Be Done
Near IngleWood

The finance committee of the city
council has given instructions to City
Engineer Homer Hamltn to use every
means to complete the outfall sewer be-
fore the rainy season sets In.
Work is now progressing twenty-four
hours a day, seven days in the week, on
the big contract.
With Engineer Hamlin in personal
charge and the best mine experienced
workers penetrating the tunnels from
each shaft, over so per cent OF the dill
cult boring work is completed.
The masonry and cement work is fol
lowing as quickly as the men can get
elbow room in the bore, so that all Sec
tion forces keep hand in hand.
Bids were originally received for the
work on June 27, 1904. The contract
originally went to S. J. Edwards of Pas
adena on July II following, at $565,0OO
He in turn assigned it to Stansbury &
Powell on July IA.
The city agreed to furnish the brick
cement and materials; also the main
laterals.
Forfeit Their Bond
Stansbur. & Powell gave bond foI
$141, ,250 to insure the completion of theil
work, yet when they struck the difficult
section in the water-bearing lands near
Inglewood they threw up the contract
last July.
For five months no work was done
Then the city began the work in De-
cember, first installing pumps and be-
ginning in modest way. There has
been no interruption since and will be
none if the funds hold out.
Tn, city has paid to Stansbury &
Powell $S96,614, and in the first three
months the city's force spent $50, 900
This average is increasing month after
month
1t was estimated that it would take
1868, ,614 to complete the sewer.
The city spent $35,258 for land for the
project and bought much machinery
This latter item will furnish a snug
sum in salvage eventually.
Engineer Hamlin's work is being
watched with interest all over the coun-
try because of the new problems en-
countered in working out the difficult
boring through the underground
streams of water.
