THREATENED SUITS
 OVER WATER STOCK
SETTLERS QUESTION RIGHTS OF
 CANAL COMPANY.
Number Nine Declines to Pay Heavy Price and Prepares Petition to su- pervisors to Establish Water Rates In Imperial Valley.

Settlers in No 9, the new district west of New River are preparing to test the legality of charges made by the California Development Company for water stock" and for water, and if they bring the suits they are talking about instituting, several questions of interest and importance will be brought to issue.
 Number wants water and the C.. D. Co. wants $25 an acre for water stock" before it will sell water to the settlers from the canal already in operation through the district The settlers say the charge is exorbitant and prohibitive, and also they assert that there is no warrant in law for any charge at all for water stock, ' which they say is not stock at all, but is only the privilege of doing busi- ness with the canal company.
 The theory of those who deny the right of the company. to compel a landowner to buy water-stock is that the company is not the real appro- priator of water, but is merely car rier and entitled to charge only for service in delivering water appropri. ated to land in the valley. They con tend that the reclaimer of desert land has a right to the water, and that the charge for delivering it should be fixed by the county supervisors.
 The law does make it the duty of boards of supervisors to fix the rates which shall be collected by persons and corporations selling water from the users and the rate must be one that will yield a certain revenue in proportion to the capital cost of the plant Settlers of No. g, therefore, are preparing for presentation to the Su- pervisors petition asking that water rates ill the county be established by the board. They assert that the law is mandatory and that the board must act in response to a petition signed by not less than twenty-five taxpayers.
 G. w. Stephenson. an owner of land in No. g, is an active promoter of the petition and of the opposition to pay ing for water stock. He says there are 35000 acres i'll the district needing water, and that the c. D. Co., refuses to furnish water on terms which the settlers can afford to meet.

his rights And yet, at this eleventh hour, the
warmth of that passionate embrace had loosened
her from her moorings, and sent her whrllng round
in the orbit of remembered sweetness, when he

self utterly detached but tonight he had forged
a new link in the old chain She had been too
deeply wounded to be restored to former tealty;

He deserved TO lose herr OH but didn't he deserve
it, Yet Turner's fine, clear of honor forbade
him to take advantage of the situation without
supreme effort to right the wrong. The fierce de-
termination he forced to rally against his love
made him almost brutal IN his OutspOkenness-
He invited Reynolds for walk, and then fell
upon him. He told him all his world was crying
shame for his neglect of his wife, while ne chas

and then it asked the Divine blessing on its

But there was another phase of the Stafford eX-

CHOLERA was approaching the shores OF Eng

&" flight, fasting, and prayer As the Pest1lenc
was believed to be a Visitation OF God OF
account of the sins of the people, the clergy pc
titioned the Prime Minister to proclaim a day o
Fasting and PRAYER, with many expressions O
sorrow at the prevailing national vices which ha
finally provoked the wrath of the Almighty. TIL
Prime Minister replied in substance as follows:
Do works meet for repentance. First make
Your homes and their surroundings clean and
wholesome; then you may with propriety ask
Almighty God to bless your efforts at protection .
against the approaching epidemic
This response of the highest official OF the s.
Kingdom to the usual humble and deVOut !,
petition of the clergy when the people were =
threatened with epidemic was received with
profound establishment by the religious classes,
with ridicue by the masses of the people, but
with commentator by sanitarianS The pOpu-
lar agitation was great. The clergy protested
with solemn asseVeratiOnS their belief that
pestilences were always indications that nation
al sins had become intolerable to the Al
mighty, and only hastings and prayers could dp
UeaSe His wrath.
The people at large gave heed either TO tn
ClergV'S admOnition to fast and pray, or to tn
Prime Minister'S advice to clean their homes an,
their surroundings but, with their usual disregar
of the domestic diseases with which they were con
stantly familiar, gave no thought to approaching
danger. But the sanitarianS were active in advising
the people of their respective localities on tn
advice of the Prime Minister, assuring them tina
cholera was a disease which prevailed more generall
and severely in localities and homes where there wa
the greatest amount OF filth"
The epidemic of 1870 and went with its ap
