DOUBLING THE
 HOLT INTAKE
(. D. Company at Work at Holt's
 Heading

The California Development company is engaged in doubling the intake at Holts' heading, just the other side Of Sharps'. The present gate is but twenty feet wide and not enough water can be admitted to supply the power canal and the farmers 1n No. 5 at the same time during the early summer. The new gate will admit plenty of water at all times and the trouble eX- perienced last spring with the farmers on the east side will not be had again.
 Mr., Redwood, who is in chargel of the big dredger on the main canal, is dredging up the canal and will reach the Sharps' heading soon. From there he vii. clean out the channel from Sharps' to Holts' headings.
 Some of the most important that har yet been done is now be- ing completed by Jim Garcia's sturdy gang of Mexicans at Chaffee's waste gate. This old gate, east of Sharps, was for merly used for the Alamo waste but was abandoned when the new gate was built below the Chaffee site. Since that time the entrance to the old gate has filled with silt and has grown rank with bank weeds. In addi- ton to this the site was com pletely undermined by musk rats, making that point one of the most dangerous in the whole sys- tenn that the c. D. company con- trols. Garcia's gang has been engaged in remedying this dan ger.
 One of the engineers, who knew the facts, said that he would not have been surprised to hear of the whole works break ing thru at the heading at any time. The vigilance of the en- gineers alone made dis aster inn possible.

Friendship With Wild Life.

If a fairy had ever offered to grant me three wishes, 'the full confidence of wild animals" would surely have been one of them and probably the first. If we seek opportunities to be- friend wild creatures and take advan' tage of them. we shall often find. as l have done, that there is no lack of re- sponse on the part of the animals. l once walked up to pine siskin, as he was feeding on the ground and picked him up Tn my hand. He did not seem a bit alarmed, and when a few min utes later I set him down he continued his search for food within a few inches of my feet On another occasion a yell low throated vireO allowed me to lift her from her nest when l wished to count her eggs and nestled down com tortably on her treasures the moment l put her back. With foretnger once str0ked the back of q red breasted nut hatch as he was busy feeding on q tree.-Ernest Harold Baynes in St. Nicholas.

THE REAL CHINESE GONG.
It Makes an Uproar as Awful as It Is
 Astonishing.

'
 Astonishing.
 By the way, did you ever hear real Chinese gong? don't mean a hotel gong, but one of those great moon disks of yellow metal which have so terrible power of utterance.
 A gentleman fin Bangor, north Wales who had q private museum of south Pacific and Chinese curiosities, exhibit ed one to me. It was hanging amid Fiji spears beautifully barbed with sharks teeth, which, together with grotesque New Zealand clubs of green stone and Sandwich Island paddles wrought with the baroquc visages of the shark god, were depending from the walls; also there were Indian ele- plants in ivory. carrying balls in their carven bellies, each ball containing many other balls inside 1t.
 The gong glimmered pale and huge and yellow, like the moon rising over southern swamp. My friend tapped Its ancient face with a muffled drum stick, and it commenced to sob like waves upon a low beach. He tapped it
 
 again, and 1t moaned like the wind in a mighty forest of pines. Again, and it commenced to roar, and with each tap the roar grew deeper and deeper till 1t seemed like thunder rolling over an abyss in the Cordilleras or the crash ing of Thor's chriot wheels.
 It was awful and astonishing as aw- full. I assure you did not laugh at it at all. It impressed me as something terrible and mysterious. vainly sought to understand how that thin disk of trembling metal could pro- duce so frightful vibration. He in- formed me that 1t was very expensive. being chiefly made of the most precious metals, silver and gold.-From "Life and Letters of Lafcadlo Hearn."

The Cal. Development Co. is laying off most of the surveying and engineering crews. Several parties came in the fore part of this week and have received their checks.

WILL COST $lOO,OOO
Work on Nos. 8 and 6 Ditches
 Will Begin in a Week or So

The construction of the ditches on the west side of New river, to accomodate Nos. 6. and 8, will commence about the middle of October. The California Devel- opment company is just now ask ing big contractors for bids on the work.
 The work will include twenty six miles of ditches, practically the whole length of the valley. An entirely new system has been figured out and the lines will be in the most advantageous posi- tion for the accommodation of the water users.
 This work means much to Cal exico. The contractors will bring from 600 to 700 men to go on the job. There will be at least 1900 head of livestock. Calexico will be the shipping and distributing point for the whole crew. The men will come to this town to buy and business will be greatly increased as a conse' quence. The supplies that will be ordered from here will be some thlng enormous for such a gang of men.

SUPERS MUST EAT.
Why . Scene In "R meo and Juliet"
Was Spoiled.

The supers used in big stage pro-
ductlons have the appetites of eie-
plants. No food or drink used on
the stage is too mean for them to
neglect-provided the property man
isn't looking. They drink the cold
tea as though it was really wine in
stead of the fake vintage. They
deyour the ginger cake that passes
for pate de foie gras. They have
even been known to attack realistic
papier mache grapes and the ices
made of cotton batting.
The play on this particular night
was "Romeo and Juliet and the
scene in Juliet's garden the piece de
resistance. The stage was filled
with apple trees in bloom. White
petals were scattered thickly on the
cocoa mating greensward. They
were not really apple blossoms, bat
white, pulpy popcorn. substituted
for muslin flowers after many ex-
periments. becau they looked Just
as well and lasted longer. The fake
blossoms d .Tered from the popcorn
of the candy stores in one particu-
lar. The tircmen thought the pulpy
corn increased the danger from fire
and ordered the manager to squirt
tireproo!ing mixture on them.
The prompt book had this stage
direction at the climax of the third
act: "Romeo fights Tybalt. MUIR
murs off l., changing to yells. All
on" On this evening there were
no murmurs, no yells, no "all" to go
on. As the curtain fell Romeo went
to the stage manager, beside him
self with rage.
"What the-beg pardon-good-
ah"- he yelled. "Where-was-

"Out of business" replied the
stage manager. "'rhey're lying in
