IRRIGATION
FOR MORENO
SCHEME LAUNCHED BY RICH
PiTTSBURG MAN
HAS ACQUIRED TITLE TO VAST
ACREAGE
To Build Canal Through Moreno
Grade Carrying Water from
San Tlmoteo Canyon
to- Valley

To build a canal through the Moreno
grade and carry the waters from the
famous Singleton Dairy company ranch
in san Timoteo canyon to the great Mo-
reno valley, irrigating thousands of
acres, is said to be the plan of E. E.
Hendricks, the Pittsburg man who re-
Gently secured control of 5000 acres of
land in that section. The project is a
gigantic one, and If carried out will
irrigate large area that in the past
has been practically without moisture
clouds.
This tells why Hendricks and his
business associates recently secured
options on the Singleton property con-
sisting of 1000 acres, and which is fed
by constantly flowing artesian wells
that can be developed to the extent that
they VIII irrigate thousands of acres of
land.
For some time 1t has been known
that the Pittsburg man had in view
the securing of water from some per-
manent source, but it was generally
supposed that he proposed to develop
water in the valley by digging wells
and pumping, and although the water
was struck in quantities to make it
very valuable, it is believed in case
the present plan is successful 1t will
forever solve the water problem in Mo-
reno. 1t is understood the option is
good until July l, and that the price
of the water rights, all the land and
the improvements. is $160,000.
Has Surveyed Pass
Hendricks quietly has had. surveyed a
pass through the valley just below
where the water can be taken out and
made to run on slight grade without
any great need for blasting and but lit
tie or no tunneling.
he
be that used, as only a portion of 1t
belongs to the land. the remainder of
the rights belonging to the ranches
down the canyon, including the Cox
and the Cheney and Pratt properties
The majority of the present supply.
amounting to several hundred inches
during the ordinary season, goes with
the property, however. In some of
the canyons where the artesian wells
have hardly been developed there has
been found an abundance of water that
can be developed without great ex-
pense. There is no way of estimating
the amount before work is done there,
but 1t is said Hendricks expects to Sc
cure supply of almost 1000 inches,
which would be sufficient to make thou
sands of acres of the Moreno valley
blossom like rose.
The present supply is mainly from
seepage from the ground, and is
tnouSht to be but small amount when
with what can be secured by
proper development. Artesan wells are
to be-found in all that section, and the
water rights alone are estimated to be
of great value.
The Singleton ranch was settled in
the sixties by the elder Singleton, who
took up in excess of 1000 acres and later
sold off small amount to the owners
Of the Francis & Smithers ranch. which
a lgo is we'll Snnnlipd with water from
artesian wells.
This deal, If it goes through, will be
one of the most important ever
launched in this section for the develop
ment of the thousands of acres in Mo-
reno valley.-Redlands Daily Review.

a Great Play.

I'VE Are King" with Mr.. Edmund
Carroll In the leading role is a comedy
In three acts by Lieut.. Gordon Dean,
author OF 1.-THE Magic Melody" and
was used by Mr.. Walker Whiteside
for three seasons as a starring vehicle.
The action is in Hamburg, a small
principality In Germany and deals
with the complications in trying to
dethorne King Hector, a despot, who
has run his Kingdom into debt and
ground Gown his subjects.
Gustayus Nenner, correspondent
for the London Record, a lightheart-
ed fellow, wanders into Hamburg in
search OF news. He is arrested as a
spy. Prime Minister and his follow
ers who are plotting to rid the king
dom OF Hector, are so impressed with
Venner's marvellous resemblance to
the king. that they induce Venner to
impersonate the king, who is away on
a secret mission. y
Venner, under the impression that
he is rendering the king and the
court a favor, and seeing ''good copy"
In sight, consents, Hector Venner
costumed as the King and accepted
by the Court, proceeds to run the
kingdom. He lowers the taxes on
the people, throws the palace open to
the public and gets himself into all
sorts Of ludicrous complications
through his ignorance of court affairs.

One who admires o handsome school

attention to district IL, on the main
travelled road two miles west Of Can
ton. II would love dearly to see IL
dxed up-with flag staff and bell, and
a few flower beds and some ornament

is interested In district II.
II am sure the children would APP
preciate it and thus create a desire
for the beautiful in the youthful
mind. Back in Ohio where I went to
school we had a school house and
grounds that was the admiration OF
the country people for miles around,
and / have never forgotten the i'm.
pressions thus formed"
The editor is not familiar with the
financial condition Of district II, but
1t would seem that that little school
house out on the public highway and
within plain view from the railroad
might be made more attractive to the
little ones who spend SO much time
there.
District II ought to~be one of the
f1andsomest school buildings in the
county and the LEADER would like tc
see the Improvements made. Yor
