IRRIGATION NEEDS FORESTS.

Lewis Z. Aubury. state mineraIogist
of California, writing in Forestry and
Irrigation. upon the needs Of west

tional forests in that connection. says:
While the subject of irrigation has
at times been Of absorbing interest to
the people of California, they have
given little thought to the sources of
water supply: which lack of interest
in view of the necessity for protection
of these sources, reminds me very
much of a friend Of mine who recently
purchased an automobile He was so
proud of his new acquisition that he
invited a few Of his friends for spin.

suppose. Indeed, comparatively few Of the Arabian tribes have horses, and the best are kept on the plateau of Maid, in the center of the peninsula. They be- long to the Anazah tribe, which is one of the oldest of all, and which claims to date back to the flood. It Is a wealthy tribe, and 1t has been breeding horses for many generations. The best stock has pedigrees going back to the time of Mahomet and the very choicest come from five mares which were owned by the prophet and blessed by him. These horses seldom go out of Arabia. They are owned by the chiefs, and are not sold, except in times of direst necessity. Now and then & few get into Egypt and other parts of North Africa, and the Sultan of Turkey is able to buy some for his stables. >A
 During my stay in Algeria I saw 15d stallions in the great army stables at Blidah. Perhaps one-third of them were Arabian. and they were kept to breed horses for the French army The Khe- dive of Egypt has some Arabian thor oughbreds and there are few in Moroc- co and Abyssinia.
 It Is only occe esionally that pure bred Arabian goes to Europe or the United States Two of the best stations @e ', sl imported were those which General Graas brought from Constantinople.

used are rupees and annas. 1T dlfneuIues arise between the Arabs and Persians, they are brought to the English resident at Bushire and if between the tribes of southern Arabia. they are brought to Alden for adjustment.
 Arabia To Have Railroads.
 At the same time the English are con- sidering the development of the peninsu- la. They have proposed to build a pll- grimage railway from Jeddah, on the Red sea opposite Port Sudan, to take the great army of Mohammedan worshippers inland to Mecca. This would connect with their new railroad which now crosses the Nu- bian desert from Suakin to the cape to Cairo route, and would open up an im- mense passenger traffic from central Africa and upper Egypt during the pill grimage season. If the English are not granted the concession for that road 1t will probably be built by the Mohamme- dams themselves, and in any event 1t will be more or less under British control, and be a feeder for the Egyption railway sys- tenn.
 Another railroad project Is to run line from Alden into Yemen. The latter province is one of the richest of Arabia. It has a good rainfall and is noted for it's coffee and grain and fruits of various kinds. The idea Is to run the line from Alden almost directly northward to Sana, one of the chi ief cities of Yemen and an important commercial center. The road will make that town the capital of western and southern Arabia
 A third and still mord ambitious project is to build railroad across the northern part of the peninsula making thereby short cut to India

 As 1t is now the English own countries in nearly every part of the globe. They have more land In North America than we have They have recently added to their African colonies so that they now own more than one-third of that eonti- nent and they are slowly and surely gathering in everything else that lies loose. One of their latest acquisitions is Arabia. They now practically control the whole of it. They have the Sinai penin- sula, through their possession of Egypt, and the control that part of Arabia along the Red sea through the ports which they are building on the opposite coast They have entered into the clos est of relations with the Sultan of Oman, and they have two uncrowned kings in the persons of certain of their political residents and consuls general, who con trol the whole of eastern and southern Arabia. The first of these is stationed at Bushire, in Persia, but he has made treaties with the various tribes along the Arabian side of the Persian gulf, which give the English the trade of that region; and the same is true as to the tribes of southern Arabia, who are controlled by the British resident here at Alden. These two consuls general have established postoffices and postal routes through their respective spheres of influence. and they control not only the mails, but moa- ey matters as we'll They are working In connection with India, and the moneys

DECLARE SHOW WILL
ECLIPSE ALL OTHERS
Bank Clerks MinstreIs, Who Begin
Performance Tonight, Have Mary
Surprises for Financial and
Other Patrons

Minstrelsy thoroughly up to date
this is what the bank clerks promise
at their show in the Mason opera house
tonight and tomorrow night, and from
hints' betrayed anent the secret pro-
gram it certainly seems as If the slo-
gan of "Still no lemons" will hold good.
The boys made such a hit in their
effort a year ago that it was a foregone
conclusion they would have a hard task
to equal 1t this year. But through the
arduous work of Director George Towle
and incessant rehearsals the clerks be-
lieve they have evolved a bill that will
bedim the shades of Haverly and make
Lew Dockstader look like "a pilxer"
beside their array of talent.
The show will open with the accus-
toned first part, with 200 In the circle
of blackface. This first part has been
constructed carefully with the view of
causing the utmost possible good
natured embarrassment to the financial
interests of the city as represented In
the audience by their directors and Of
ficers. Then there will be songs, Choir
uses, dances, gags, jokes and airy per-
sihage from the manly interlocutor, L.
H. Ceville, and the 200 who make up
the aggregation of talent, to say moth
ing of the big bunch of bizarre be-
CARRIED end men.
The olio has a large array of sur
prises and is kept secret as to details.
But hints have leaked out Of a "girf'
number with w. q. Shepley and sixteen
coworkers, wherein the latest fads in
feminine wearables are satirized. And
another of these features burlesques
one of the seasons theatrical hits down
to the last detail. So with these alone
there will be the worth of ones money.
Besides all this are solos and single
turns and an afterpiece of a distinctly
new sort along musical comedy lines.
The boys have contracted only for
two nights here, but 1t is now feared
many will not be able to get in during
these nights. 1t was to be hoped
matinee could be given, but trip to
Santa Barbara prevents. This comes
Saturday night and the boys leave at
8 o'clock p. m. that day on a special
train for the Channel city, there 10
perform Saturday night.
In consequence of the rush for tickets
it is suggested that all holders Of ex-
change tickets go at once and secure
seat coupons at the Mason box office,
where they will be exchanged with no
additional cost. This will prevent
crowding at nights.

CARD
IS COMPLETED
BARON LONG ARRANGES TWO
PRELIMS
These Boys VIII Scrap for the Rantans
Championship of the Coast and
Make 11s Pounds at 2 O'Clock.
Dougherty and Hugo Again

Baron Long announced last night
that he had completed the card which
the Jeffries Athletic club will stage
as it's Thanksgiving eve attraction at
Vernon. With Abe Attell and Freddie
Welsh scheduled for fifteen rounds of
boxing as the main event, and the al
legged balloon trip called off, the matter
of preliminaries would cut very little
figure, but Long has matched up a
quartet of scrappers that adds attrac-
tiveness to the offering, despite the
topheavy class involved in the main
event.
Monte Attell, brother of the cham
pion, and Kutchos were signed up for a
fifteen-round scrap for the bantam
championship of the coast. Monte got
in from Frisco yesterday on the OWL
and there was little or no squabbling
over terms. The boys will weigh in
at 116 pounds at O'CLOCK HOBO
Dougherty was so dissatisfied with the
result OF his battle with Young Hugo
last Tuesday night that he asked for
a return match, and Hugo was so con-
WINGED that he could do 1t again that
he consented. They were signed up
at catchweights and will go ten rounds
next time.
Long also went to Venice last even
ing to talk with Welsh regarding that
balloon trip. Baron told Freddie that
his agreement with the club required
him to make no public appearance pre-
vious to the fight and that inasmuch
as the balloon trip is a dangerous
undertaking and might take him as
far as Chicago, which would prevent
Freddie from getting into condition to
fight at his best form, there could be
no balloon ride and a fight afterwards.
Freddie said it would be all right with
him, and he cut out the sky trip.
Long kindly 90 notified Dick Ferris
that Welsh would not take the big
ride through space.

oId-TIme Heavyweight Rivals Com
pIete Final Details of Their Match
by Signing Articles and En-
gaging Training Partners

articles of agreement have been
signed by Battling Johnson and Jim
Flynn for their ten-round scrap, and
both will get down to business without
further delay. Johnson, who recently
has returned to the fold of Gaines, will
train at San Pedro and Flynn will do
his work at the Eastside Athletic club
as usual. Flynn and Johnson put up
two of the best scraps ever SEEM be-
tween the big fellows and while john
son has failed to get anything but the
short end heretofore, he believes he has
improved sufficiently to enable him to
stop the fighting fireman when they
meet again. Johnson will begin work
today and Flynn probably will start
light work at the same time.
