Nonarrival of State Permits DELAYS
Sportsmen From Killing Game
in Season

REDWOOD CITY, June 25.-Wild
game in san Mateo county is immune
Tor the time being from attacks by
nimrods. Fully 200 expectant hunters
have beseiged the county clerk and his
deputies to obtain the new state per-
mits necessary for hunters, but the
clerk has not received the permits and
metallic badges. Numerous appeals to
the secretary Of the fish and game
commissioners have been futile. The
permits are necessary owing to the
law passed by the last legislature. Ma
tives OF the county are charged a fee
OF 81 for the privilege of hunting in
the county at which the permit is
granted. Alien citizens are charged $40
and foreigners $50.

Ancient irrigation.

1t 10 worth recalling that irrigation
was practiced in North America long
before Columbus ever set sail. Proof
OF irrigation works has been found in
the valley OF the ella river in Arizona.
Several years ago an investigation by
the geological survey developed the
fact that the ruins of ancient canal
near the ruins of Casa Grande temple,
were in reality the ruins of an irriga-
ton canal constructed in prehistoric
times and that, in order to prevent the
scorching climate from drinking up
the water before it could be distributed
we the fields, the canal had been
lined with some kind of cement which
has withstood the elements for Gen.
turtles but which. like the colors of
some of the great Italian painters, has
become q lost art, since the scientists
OF tOda cannot analyze it. The canal
vas found about 20 feet below the level
of the present earth. but has been un.
covered far enough to show its origi-
nal use and design.

There are no doubt some cases Of men

they are very few. Not one criminal

he's hungry, but because he is a GRIM
inal from choice and would rather
steal than work. He knows perfectly
we'll that nobody ever made a fortune
or even a decent living by picking
pockets or breaking into houses or rob-
bling people on the streets. He knows,
too, that 1t is only a question of time
when the %penitentiary gates will open
for him, and yet he chooses the uncer-
%tainties of criminal life and idleness
in preference to steady work at good
wages. Good times with the rest Of
the world signify nothing to the GRIM
inal, except that the man he robs is
likely to have a little more money in
his pockets. No matter how prosper
