This in cludes the cheapest lands. It must be understood that the California land is the same as that which can be home steaded in the vicinity of Higley or any other section for that matter which is forever and forever outside of the canal possibilities. It is the purpose of Mir. Richards as well as the other settlers in the vicinity of Higley to pump the water by means of government electricity if possible and if not, then to use gasoline or other power.

N. L. Richards, of Famous Tulare County Notes Difference.

x L. Richards, with his two sons, l.. B. and Baxter have been in the valley since last Saturday. However during that time they have among other things taken up three quarter sections of land about ten miles south and east of Mesa near the r. X F.. road and not far from the siding which is known on the map as Higley. BaX ter, one of the sons has gone to Bak- ersfield. Cal. on a business matter but il is his intention to return at an early date when it is the plans to settle the tract and put out not less than eighty acres of trees on the three quarters.
 The important feature of the home stealing of the land is that the irriga- tion for all purposes is to come from the underground water supply. It has been demonstrated that there is nearly an inexhaustible amount, or at least. it has been proven as ineXhaustible as it is possible for the. several thousand gallons per hour drainage at the Chan dler ranch to determine However. with the surface drilled full of holes and water being drawn out for the irriga tion of alfalfa as well as citrus and deciduous fruits it is then that the underground water supply will be giv- en a chance to demonstrate its abun dance.

W. 1. SHRINE ARRESTED
 FOR FLOODING ROADS
1t Is Understood That Complaint Is In Lieu of Wilbur Charge.

Road Overseer George Vance yester- day swore out a warrant for W. l.. Shrine. on a complaint charging him with being guilty of flooding the public highways. The warrant had not been served by the constable at the time this information was had and it is not known whether he will plead guilty or not.
 IL is understood that this complaint is in lieu of the one sworn out against Dr. Wilbur a few days ago and which was later withdrawn by the overseer. By this il is meant that it is believed that the latest defendant is the one guilty in the first instance when the warrant was sworn out against Dr. Wilbur. However, this is the inference that was gained at the time that the warrant was sworn out.
 Mir. Vance has received his instruc- tions from the supervisors and he is vigorously prosecuting the road flood ing cases and while he may necessarily leave a sore spot here and there he win rest in the belief that he is doing his duty as it has been pointed out to him. It is a duty that belongs to some one. The roads should not be flooded.

MEXICAN SHEEP HERDER
 COAFEssEs SERIOUS CRIME
KNOCKED COMPANION IN THE
 HEAD WITH CLUB.
Happened at Thomas Brothers Camp
 East of Mesa-SeH Defense Claimed.

A Mexican sheepherder, Juan Con zales. came to town yesterday and walking up to Special Officer W. J. Le- Baron, stated that he had had an all that as result he wanted to surrend- CT. The story as related by Gonzales is to the effect that he and another Mexican herder were holding two bands of the Thomas Brothers sheep at a point in the mountains about five miles southeast of Mesa, and that dur ing the storm Tuesday he asked for shelter in his companions tent. He contends that his brother herder refus ed him admittance and that he started to hit the selfish fellowman with a skillet and in so doing a fight was precipitated and that Gonzales had to retreat. However. Gonzales related that he was again attacked with a knife and that he picked up club and hit the rapidly approaching man. fell ing him to the ground. Gonzales did not know how badly the man was in jured any further than that he left him lying unconscious. However the man continued his confession and re- lated that when he reached the summit of hill on his way to town he looked back and thought that he saw the wounded man wake up and yell some thing that he could not understand.
 Gonzales seems to be sure that the crime was committed only in defense of his life and that if he had not club bed the man when he did that he would not have been alive to tell the officers about it.
 It is understood that phone mes sage was received yesterday by ThOm- as Brothers from point some place on the desert that their bands of sheep were running at large and that they were without herders.

ing that 1t is of the greatest impor-

that a tariff bill for the islands be
passed at the same time the Payne
bill. President Taft today sent a mes
sage to congress transmitting the pro-
posed measure as prepared under the
direction of the bureau of insular af-
fairs. The presidents message reads
as follows.
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
/ transmit herewith a communica-
ton from the secretary OF war enclos-
ing one from the chief bureau of insu.
lar affairs, in which is transmitted a
proposed tariff revision law for the
Philippine Islands. The measure re-
vises the present Philippine tariff,
simplifes and makes it to conform as
nearly as possible to the regulations
of the customs law of the United
States, especially with respect to
packing and packages.
The present Philippine regulations
have been cumbersome and difficult
for American merchants and expart-
ers to comply with.

hours, trying to get Johnson to agree
to longer contest, but the champion
