FATHER PROMISES TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR F0RGER
Yucaipe Valley Rancher May Secure
Probationary Sentenced for Son
Who Passed Bogus Check

fathers promise that he will sur
render his son to the sheriff if he fails
to make good a loss due to forgery
may lead to a probationary sentence
for Roy Hassett, charged with passing
a fictitious check drawn on the Ger
man-AmeriGan bank for $3.50 more than
a month ago.
Hassett pleaded guilty in Judge
Davis court yesterday, the one witness
to appear in behalf of his application
for probation being his father, ranch
er living in the Yucaipe valley.
Mr.. Hassett promised, if his son was
released, his son would repay the
money and that a failure to do so
would result in his being surrendered
to the county officers. The matter was
continued five days to give the proba-
tion officers time in which to investi-
gtae the young mans previous record.

RELIGIOUS EXERCISES OF
RUSSIANS BRING PROTEST
Board of Health Appealed to by Prop
erty Owners Who Object
s to Noise

Property owners living in the vicin-
itv Of Little Russia in the Eighth
ward, have appealed to the board of
health for relief from the annoyance
caused by the religious exercises of the
Russians who live in the colony. Why
the complaint should be made to the
health department is not evident, un-
less the complainants believe that be-
cause their sleep is disturbed their
health is in jeopardy.
They declare the Russians meet at
the houses of various members of their
sect and conduct their religious exer-
cises until late into the night, and III
such a noisy manner they are a nui-
sance. The complainants say the Rus
SLAMS either should have a large open
hay field in which to congregate or
some building should be set aside for
the purpose.

Fire Apparatus Bid Rejected

Two bids for supplying fire, ap-
paratus to San Pedro We're received by
the city council of Los Angeles yes

would have been opened by that body
Tuesday had it not been that consoli-
dation put the San Pedro board out Of
office.
Deputy city Attorney Wilson told
the Los Angeles council there was
SOME doubt as to the authority of the
council to open these bids, and advised
that both be rejected unopened and
new proceedings begun. The council
followed his advice in the matter.

Atchafalaya Floods.

million acres OF land in the Tensas
1T Fifth Levse District. This ia
practicable aud can be easily don .
il it is protected from overfows
from the Mississippi river through
the old river and moro than TWEEN.
ty miles of levee above it, which
have never been rebuilt, and seem
to have been purposely left to pour
the foods Of tho Mississippi into
the Rcd and Atchafalaya rivers.
1t is these floods that not only
drown out the lands north of tho
Red, but also millions of acres in
the Atchafnlaya basin. l cannot
see how anything can DO done for
drainage or reclamation of these
lands until the Mississippi is pre-
vented from flooding them by re-
building the levess north of the
Red and jettying or locking the
Mississippi from tho Red aud At
chafalays. letting the Atcbsfalaya
discharge all the waters Of the
Red. In proof Of this, let me re-
fer you to your river column. At
the time of the highest stage of
the Mississippi there was at Sims
port, some thirteen miles from the
Mississippi. on tho Atchafalaya,
43.7 feet; at Alexandria, on the
Red, there was only TT feet, and
the Ouschita river also was low.
This shows a dam of thirty-six
feet at the mouth of tho Red,
which caused the flooding of the
country, both above aud below it's
mouth. Again. l will take your
yesterdays paper. You give 1873
at Simmsport, at Alexandria 1.9
feet, showing dam OF 27.1 feet.
Can anything prove more clearly
than this that it is the floods from
the Mississippi, and not from the
Red, that overflow this whole coun-
try? The Atchafalaya is increas-
ing rapidly and throwing more wa
ter into it's basin every year. until
it is now flooding the lands ON the
of the Teche and many
millions of acres that were never
known to overflow before our civil |
war are now overlooked annually. |
Cannot something be done to
stop this diversion of the floods Of
the grestriver from it's main chap
bel, which are causing it to fill up?
According to soundiDgs made when
he battleship Mississippi went to
there was only forty
bree feet at the mouth of the Red,
md sixty-five to seventy feet above
lud seventy feet or more below.
This also proves the danger of the
Whole river taking the short route
only about ninety miles) to the
iulf, whereas by ito present chan
,el it is 1875 miles. In view Of all
bess facts, why is not something
'sing done to protect our country
nd State from such a great dias-
ster? 1t seems to me that the
,snsral government should take
barge aud do this work. In view ,
f tho fact that our State has spsni
ome $75,OOO,W in building levees
nd protecting tho country from {
with no aid from the
government, aud in further view
( tho government spending mil
ions for the reclamation Of the q
esert aud arid lands of the West, q
docs seem to me that it could be
to get it to do something !

A Guest RuxzIsr.

In one of the old castles of north
'ern England visitors are shown two
rooms which are connected with
each other by a singular mechanism.
Each room is adjOined by an alcove,
used as a sleeping room apartment,
and the floors of the adjoining al
coves turn on pivot in the center
of the partition wall. This ingen-
ious device was the invention of one
of the ancestors of the present pro-
prietor, who was somewhat of a wag
and found great pleasure in fright
ening and mystifying his guests.
When one had gone to bed in the
green room and the other in the
blue, the floors were turned on their
pivots, and on awakening the Wis
itor found himself in strange quar-
tiers, with clothes that were not his
own. 1t is said that this fun loving
lord lost a rich inheritance by dis
turbing the restful moments of a
wealthy aunt, who never forgave the
trick her nephew played upon her.

on a long promised weeks visit to
his grandfather's in the country.
There was an exasperating delay in
the appearance of the carriage to
take them to the station. The
young man worked off his impa-
thence in various annoying ways for
half an hour. Then suddenly he
was seen to kneel beside a chair in
the corner and bury his face in his
hands. After a few minutes his
mother said:
"Well. Kenneth, what are you do
ing?"

The different cOlors of the sky
are caused by certain rays of light
being more or less strongly reflected
or absorbed, according to the amount
of moisture contained in the atmos-
phere. Such colors do. therefore,
portend to some extent the kind Of
weather that may naturally be ex-
pected to follow. For instance, a
red sunset indicates a fine day to
follow, because the air when dry re-
tracts more red OF heat making rays
and as dry air is not perfectly trans
parent they are again reflected in
the horizon. A coppery or yellowy
sunset generally foretells rain. The
following has been advocated as a
fairly successful way of prognosti-
eating: Fix your eye on the small
est cloud you can see; if it decreases
and disappears, the weather will be
good; if it increases in size, rain
may be looked for.
