ing the waste that was upon this portion OF their
Oregon.
And here, later. few of the harder settlers,
because none among the others wanted the land,
and it theirs for the asking, built them homes
and sought to wrest a living from the sandy soil.
Scorched and parched by the summer suns with
thirst unquenched by the water of life, their crops
withered and died and famine was abroad in the
land. And then they knew that If they were to
live in their newfound homes their land must
have water; and hence came windmis and water
wheels which pumped floods of life-giving fluid
upon their acres-and Lo, the desert bloomed as
the rose! And on the face of the wilderness
few scattering garden-spots arose like GASES in
the desert as significant tributes to the combined
strength of this wonderful soil and the allneces-
sary water
And from these scattered examples, far-sighted
men learned lesson. Assured of the rich re-
ward which this land returned with the caress of
the life-gving waters, they led streams down
from the mountains in fumes and ditches carry
ing them high above the natural beds of the
streams from whose headwaters they had stolen
their food And down where the canons opened
out into broader plains they spread the water
broadcast over the land.
And thus and then Yakima, Hood River,

A N IMPORTANT and signif.
IA icant milestone in the
transition of the Old West
into the New was reached and
passed few days ago, when the
great pumps of the Hanford r.
rigation e Power Co. at Coyote
Rapids on the Columbia River
commenced operation and start
ed sixty thousand gallons Of wa
ter a minute down the ditch to
the immense empire of fertile
land that waited only the magic
touch of the water to burst into
verdure and bloom.
At that moment thirty thou
sand acres of land were immedi-
ately transformed from desert
waste, such as they had been
for centuries agone, to great
territory of the most fertile and
productive agricultural lands In
the world. At that moment old
settlers, who had come before
the water, took heart, and saw
the dawning of a new era OF
prosperity for them, and new
settlers knew that with the COM
bination which was given them
OF the remarkably rich soil and
this woodworking water, the
way was paved to plenty and for
tune. At that moment was the
inception of another great and
rich empire to be added to those
which have already made the

astOnshed the world.
But lower down, where led these smaller
streams was the valley of the great Columbia
River, Bryant's Oregon, and there was stream
of mightier proportions and greater dignity than
to tumble through mountain canons and fall an
hundred feet in few miles journey. And along
it's banks were vast areas of lands rich those
Of the Yakima or Wenatchee, yet not within
reach of gravity ditch from some small tributary
of the greater Columbia. Above the rivers steep
banks this land baked and parched and cried for
water, while within stones throw the majestic
stream poured millions of gallons of it away to the
The water was there, but how was it to be
lifted to the bench lands above?
The mighty volume of the river, sweeping on
ward at terrific pace to the ocean, represented
a vast latent power, almost tremendous enough, if
harnessed to the factories of the nation. But
to attempt to control even portion of this power
no task for pygmies. Only men or giant nerve
and intelligence accomplish such manner of tasks
as this, and SO it years before it accom-
plished. But now have come men of this sort to
the banks of the Columbia and the task is
complished. And thus and has come Han

so far removed from the seat of civilization and

hopeless and uttermost region of the earth. And

VENEZUELAN GIRL TO
BE SENT TO ASYLUM
LATE REFUGEES DAUGHTER
BECOMES INSANE
Believes Herself Object of Persecution
and Was Found by Friend Cow
cred with Blood from Self
Inflicted Wounds

Juanita Fonge, a pretty, dark
skinned Venezuelan girl, daughter of a
one-time revolutionary leader in the
South American republic who was
forced to flee from his country and
seek refuge in Europe, was yesterday
committed to an insane asylum, her
mind, it is said, having become I'M
balanced as a result of religious frenzy.
Miss Fonge was born on the high
seas twenty-five years ago, while her
father and mother were fleeing to
Holland, the native land of her mother.
Some years later the family came to
the United States and settled in San
Francisco, where both parents died.
Miss Fonge attended some of the lead
ing educational institutions in this
country and Europe, and was a pro-
found student of literature, but follow
ing the death of her parents was COM
PEELED to earn her own living. She
was employed as stenographer by a
local firm in Los Angeles for some
years, and four months ago visited rel
atives at Ensenada, where her mind
became imbued with religious enthu-
siasm.
This, together with a weak nervous
condition, it is believed, created in her
mind Authorizations. and she believed
herself to be the object of persecution.
More than a week ago, when one of
her friends called to see her Miss
Fonge was found in her room, her face
and clothing covered with blood, the
result of several wounds inflicted on
her head by herself with a pair of
tailor's scissors. Since then, with the
exception of an occasional protest
against the persecution of which she
believed herself to be the object, the
young woman has uttered no word,
and, although apparently understanding
remarks addressed to her, has refused
to answer.
Miss Fonge's property interests,
which are somewhat extensive, will be
taken charge of by Judge D. NJ. Ham

ARREST MAY SPRING
FROM UNION TROUBLE
DENY NELSON IS ACCUSED OF
DYNAMITING
Runs Resort at Randsburg for Unor.
ganized Miners, and Has Been
Previously Employed as
a Detective

When all has been learned about the
troubles that have resulted in the ar
rests of Fred Yockey and George Nell
son, the latter of whom is now con-
fined in the county jail awaiting the
arrival of Constable David Thompson,
who will take him back to Randsburg,
the affair probably will prove to be the
outcome of a long-drawn-out fight be-
tween union and non-union miners en-
ployed at the Yellow Aster mines.
Yockey has returned to Randsburg
with a charge of attempting to blow
up the company's pipe line hanging
over him, while the charge against
Nelson has not as yet been definitely
learned.
At the time of Nelson's arrest it was
alleged that he had entered a con-
spiracy to blow UP the mines, fearing
detection of high grading practices al
legged to have been going on some years.
Yesterday, however, word was re-
ceived at the sheriff's office that the
charge against Nelson is minor one.
Nelson is manager of a resort at
Randsburg called the stag club,
where non-union miners gather to IL
bate. 1t is situated some distance from
the places where union men congregate.
Nelson was at one time employed as
a detective by the Hurst agency, and
as SUCH and by reason of his position
as deputy constable, welded consid-
cradle power. He was also at one
time a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles,
and it was to inquire into his alleged
actions in forcing Mrs. Clark to make
statements regarding Fred Jockey
that he was called to the sheriff's office
Tuesday night While on his way to
the office Geographic notice to hold
him was received and following his
arrest the inquiry was not pursued
farther.
Nelson declared yesterday that he
quit the detective agency some time
ago. but. while not employed by it,,
sometimes still renders the agency
service by imparting information re-
garding affairs at the mines which has
come to his knowledge. through his
position as manager of the Stag club"
Nelson says he came to Los Angeles
TO see a brewer regarding the purchase
of beer for the resort, and would have
returned to Randsburg yesterday had
he not been arrested. 81 know nothing
whatever about Jockey" he said, "and
have spoken to him only once or twice.
T know nothing of high grading and
am at a loss to understand why was
arrested"
I S. Hurst, head of the Hurst de-
tective agency, visited Nelson at the
county Jail yesterday, merely, he said,
$50 find out what all this trouble is
about" Hurst said he knew nothing
concerning Jockeys trouble or the
cause of Nelson's arrest, as he had
inst returned from the east.
Nelson will be taken to Randsburg
this morning.

DIVORCE DECREE ERROR
ANNULS SECOND MARRIAGE
Superior Court Renders Decision on
Unusual Technical Grounds in
the Case of Mrs. Sarah
w. Matthews

The marriage of Port Vance Mathews
to Lorah W. Mathews was yesterday
annulled by the superior court on the
ground that the woman had husband
living, from whom she had not been
divorced at the time of her second
marriage. In connection with the an
7ulment of this marriage a peculiar
point of law was raised, which involves
the Legality of a final decree entered
after the statutory time has elapsed,
the decree, however, being dated at a
time prior to that at which the second
marriage took place.
July Is, 1903, Mrs. Mathews secured
a divorce from w. A. Pitzer, a wealthy
miner, on the ground of cruelty A
year and two months later she married
Mathews, but the final decree was not
entered until four months later and
then was dated prior to September
1904, giving it retroactive effect
which, according to yesterdays de-
cision, is illegal.
