A legend of an entirely different type
b connected with the same period of
California history.
During the rush for gold In the flfties
a party came west by the ella river
route. The heat was intense. The sup
ply Of water gave out. On the hot
barren sands just below Yuma the
dying cavalcade pitched their desper-
ate camp.
In the silence of the early night from
one Of the wagons came the prattling
voice of little child lifted In prayer:
do. dear God, give as water, and
never VIII be naughty again"
And scarcely had the petition gone
up 10 the stars when the sound OF
running water was heard, and up from
the dry, hot sands dubbed a pure, life
giving spring.
The water OF this New river. as It
was. called. swept north for twenty
miles, at one place spreading into a
deep lake two miles wide. but when
migration went by the northern route,
the pretty tradition naively ends, no
longer needed. the New rivers spring
dried up.

FREE SHOWER BATHS
 ON NOR WOOD CARS
PASSENGERS ON LINE GET WET. TINGS ON EIGHTH AVENUE. MANY COMPLAINTS FROM VIC. TINS OF HOSE ARTISTS.

Patrons of the Norwood ear line are complaining at the manner In which they are given a bath while riding on Eighth avenue from Nineteenth to Twenty y-fourth street. From all appearances there Is a rivalry existing among the young boys and girls who live on this avenue as to just how many people they can drench on the cars while watering the street with a garden hose.
 The record came very near being broken yesterday afternoon when the passengers on one car were soaked five different times between these streets. The streams came from both sides of the street, and it happened that ladies occupied nearly every window seat. which left them easy prey for the thoughtless youngsters with the hose.
 This matter is coming to be a daily oe- currence. and tho passengers on those cars are up in arms about it. One pas senger states that he has found out the names of the youngsters who are in- dulging in this pastime. and that he is going to take the matter up with their parents if it occurs again. In the event this does not break it up he says he will have the whole crowd arrested, girls ds well as bows

CLAIM OF ILLEGALITY.
General Opinion of Lawyers Against
 City Council

There is a general opinion among the lawyers of the city that some of the ae- tions of the city council at it's last called special meeting are Illegal A number of attorneys have been approached on the question and all are of the opinion that the election of NJ. J. Gregg to the aldermanic seat from the seventh ward was unconstitutional
 They also say that the election of John W. ONeill president pro tenn. was not according to law. and they are positive. ly of the opinion that the passage of the ordinance instructing President Parker to appoint the standing committees was illegal.
 The reason cited for which Gregg and ONeill were not legally elected was be- cause a certain section In the municipal code provides that officers shall be elect ed at the next regular meeting after the offices are vacant. They could not there fore be elected at a special meeting.
 The code also provides that no ordl- nance shall be passed at the same meet ing in which it is adopted without unan- imous consent and since Cooper objected 'o the pasSaBe ol the ofulndhce lustfuct- ing Parker to appoint committees, it was not really adopted.
 However, these same lawyers are of the opinion that all other action of the council has been legal, and they also contend that Parker had the right to ap- point his committees, without the pas sage of an ordinance.
 At any rate all this will be done oyer at the next meeting of the city council, if there is any doubt in the minds of the anti-administration forces.

 For this great moral conflict today in Jefferson county, in Birmingham, destined to be the leading city of the south. we find ch ger and inspiration fin the knowledge that with us this day in this struggle are the lives and spirits of men who built a nation, whose minds and hearts found no barrier in disaster. no hindrance in calamity who looked into the face of death and knew no fear whose wisdom evoked the world s praises, whose eloquence charmed the ears of thousands, who, best of all, stood in awe and reverence before the dread fires of Sinai, hailed with rap- ture the star of Beth lehem, cast their all before the cross of Calvary, and saw in the risen Lord their hope of life in the palace of the King.
