SOBOBA RESERVATION /

GOVERNMENT APPR0PRlATES
A SMALL FUND
Experimental Work VIII First Be
Done-If Successful, Indians viii
Receive Regular Yearly
Appropriations

SAN JACINTO Sept. 12.-For the
first time in the history of the Soboba
Indian reservation the United States
government is to spend any CONSIDER
able amount of money in developing
water for the Indians here. Superin-
tendent Stanley has received word
from the department that $4,000 has
been appropriated to Soboba for the
purpose of experimental work along
the lines of water development Tor
irrigation purposes. 1t Is believed that
this first appropriation will be sufn-
cient to sink a number of wells and
to do considerable work upon the pres
emit canal system of the village IN the
way of cleaning out charging and ex-
tending the irrigation bitches.
Superintendent Stanley announces
that the plan is to put down three
ten-inch test wells near the site of the
big perennial spring, from which the
village now gets its water supply Tor
domestic and irrigation purposes. This
will be the first work undertaken, ana
for this purpose well drilling rig has
been engaged and will arrive from Pa
changa shortly to begin operations.
Upon the completion of the wells
pump and gasoline engine will be in
stalled of sufficient capacity to irrigate
the entire table land lying between the
mesa upon which the village Is built
and the sandy river bed. This table
land consists of about 800 acres OF rich
alluvial soil than which there is no
better to be found in Southern Califor-
mia. Work will also be done In Indian
canyon in the way of augmenting the
water supply of that portion of the res
ervation lying below the mouth or that
canyon.
The struggling open ditch that now
furnishes an uncertain supply OF water
to few farms along the base or the
mountain will be replaced by SUBJ

water. The head of the supply viii also

The work as outlined above will
probably be all that Will be accom-

the present appropriation. However. II
will not stop there, as the superln-
tendent has assurance from Wasning-

nroves successful and the Indians prove
themselves equal to the task of caring

dictate Who Will Be the
Next President.

Panama, June 28.-Balloting in the
municipal elections throughout the
isthmus was concluded at 4 o'clock this
afternoon. There were no disorders
here.
A big majority was given the ticket
supported by General Obaldia, a can
didate for the presidency of the repub-
lie in the elections that will take place
next month in Panama. Returns from
Arrajan. TabagOO and Chame, the only
points from which advices have been
received, show that the ticket of Obal-
dia also won there. Reports received
from several of the provinces say that
disturbances occurred, but they were
not serious
Though the municipal elections today
were unimportant, Obaldia's triumph
in the capital is regarded as evidence
of his popularity. as the supporters of
the candidates favored by the govern
ment made strenuous efforts to win.
Throughout the day the streets in the
vicinity of the polling places were crowd
ed with people who were brought from va
riOus parts of the city in carriages dec
GRATED with flags. Every train from the
canal zone also brought citizens TO vote.

he had stated 10 all these gentlemen

In consequence of this, although Mr..
