WATER ON THE
evdahy Randh

imagine you will have more water than you
can use, for on the CUDAHY RANCH the
soil is light, absorbing more water than
heavy soil.
We are preparing booklet, which will
contain the Bylaws of the Water Com
pany. In few days it will be ready. Call
and get one, or drop us a postal and we will
mail you one. This booklet will go into the
water question thoroughly-and will prove
conclusvely that the plant will be operated
by mutual company and will be run with
out profit.
At this time we cannot definitely say
what it will cost to produce water.
But any way we figure, we cannot see
how it can cost more than from $500 to
$1,000 year per acre. For one or two acres
this water will be remarkably cheap.
AS an illustration of the difference be-
tween what you will pay on the CUDAHY
RANCH and what other people are paying
for water; In the Bell Tract which imne-
diately adjoins the Cudahy Ranch, the resi-
dents tell us that they pay $1.00 per month
for domestic water and 75c per hour for irri-
eating water. If these people use no water
at all for irrigating, they have to pay $l2.O0
a year for domestic service.
According to present indications, owners
of land on the CUDAHY RANCH will
get both irrigating and domestic water at
cost of about $1,000 a year per acre.
If you are figuring on buying small
ranch home close to the city, where the
water conditions are ideal, where the soil
will produce anything you want to grow,
yo: cannot make any mistake by purchas-
ing on the CUDAHY RANCH today.
The highest priced acreage is $500, and
the cheapest S400. The terms are one
fourth cash, balance in one, two and three
years.
You can buy one single acre or as much
as you want

SAYS GOVERNMENT MUST
CONTROL WATER SUPPLY
STATE MINERALOGIST WRITES
ON IRRIGATION
Declares People Soon May Awaken
to Find Their bitches
Empty

Lewis E. Aubury, state mineralogist of
California. writing in Forestry and Irriga-
ton upon the needs of western irrigation
and the value of the national forests in that
connection, says:
While the subject OF irrigation has at
times been of absorbing interest to the peo-
pie of California. they have given little
thought to the sources Of water supply
which lack of interest in view of the neces-
sity for protection of these sources. reminds
me very much of a friend of mine who re-
Gently purchased an automobile He was
so proud of his new acquisition that he in
vited few Of his friends for spin. All
went well for a while. Suddenly the ma
chine came to a stop. and believing some
thing had gone wrong with the running
gear he jumped out, wrench in hand, TO seek
the cause OF the stoppage. First he turned
a crank. then he frightened bolt He
went under the machine, and over the ma
chine, and all around the machine. He
screwed and upscrewed, opened valves and
closed them, but all TO no avail-the blamed
thing would not bulge. After expending
considerable time in efforts to discover the
cause OF the difficulty it suddenly occurred
to him to examine the gasoline tank, when
to his astonishment and CONSERVATION he
found it empty.

Private Ownership Worse

The complainants might well be asked
which they would prefer-government super
vision or private ownership OF the timber
lands in the hands of a monopoly, and to
be continually confronted with the sign.
Keep off the grass"
see much trouble ahead in the not far
distant future for the people of this state,
and particularly tho northern portion cf
California, unless the government, and for
that matter. the state, provides means to
properly control the monopolistic tendency
TO acquire not only our timbered lands but
our water supply we'll. The miner, agrl-
culturist, horticulturst and in fact the peo-
pie generally will have their most valuable
public utilities controlled by few indi-
viduas
Therefore, as check to our monopolistic
friends 1 can see no better method 10 adopt
than strengthening national forests and
lending our aid towards the present policy
of the president.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-19

WITH the Inauguration of the new
w policy at the Theater Royal and
the production of the ''wheer
burlesque shows now running in the
east, Manager w. NJ. Melton has been
particularly fortunate in securing the
veteran burlesque comedians, Oracle
and Reynolds.
Both of these actors have worked in
the large eastern burlesdue companies
for years, and have always made good.

People Must Awaken

SO with our friends, the irrigationists.
Unless they awaken in time to the fact that
if they Ignore the protection of the sources
of their water supply their bitches will be
empty, they WILL like my friend who owned
the auto, suddenly discover that they have
paid too little attention to the most essen
tial requirement. An empty gasoline tank
will not furnish power to propel a motor
neither will empty bitches promote the
growth OF alfalfa.
IT may be true that there are isolated
cases where the management Of the national
forests works a hardship, not only the
stock raiser but the miner: but I say,
give the forest service a chance-it Is yet
young. and 1 believe, from my knowledge Of
the system of conducting these holdings
that any wrongs with which 1t may be af-
hicted will soon be remedied

and their many friends here will be
glad of an opportunity TO renew ac-
quaintance.
In this weeks offering at the Royal,
sold to the Sultan" Messrs. Oracle
and Reynolds will introduce the spe-
cialty they have presented "all round
the world and half round again" It
is a rough, knockabout comedy act and
is always a hit.

Ambidexter Saved.

A meetirg of the board of di
rectors was called to meet at the
County Court room, Monday
afternoon to which the under
signed was invited. Mr.. George
S. Donnelly was also present.
After having both sides of the
situation, it was agreed that we
go ahead and raise money to
liquidate the present debts Of the
institute. Mr.. Connolly was very
fair and considerate and agreed
to accept interest on the mort
gage debt ia monthly install
ments of $13 SO per month, and
give the colored people chance
to save the property for the pur
pose for which it was establish
ed. 1t is still the purpose of our
attorneys to get loan sufficient
to pay off the present debt. The
president submitted plan to in
terest one of our state and ma

to take up the matter, and use
the Institute for a home and
school for dependent and orphan

also admitting other students

board will cooperate with the
regular board Of directors in per-
fecting the above plan.
