\ PLAN OF PEACE
 FOR MERIDIAN CANAL
1t Is Now Believed That The War Is
 Ended.

IL is thought now that peace has been permanently restored along the Meridian canal. But on second thought, the word restored" iS not good. for peace has never had an abiding place there. So. it is now thought that peace will he established as an innovation along the Meridian canal.
 All the parties in interest for sev- eral years have been dragging one. an other in court as defendant in iniunc- ton suits and after that they have been bringing one another in for yio- latlng the various iniunctionS
 The latest action was that Of q. w. Ross and others against \. ". flag gard and John Ivy who were charged with violating the orders of the court respecting the management of the canal The matter was set for hearing yesterday when a peace proposal was made.
 IL was proposed that the distribution of the waters of the canal should be made by zanjero acting under the or derS of the water commissioner. the pay of the Zanjero to be S20 a month. The canal represents an outlay of $2.- GOO and it Was proposed that the fixed charges should include interest on this sum at the rate of eight per cent. Thus the fixed charges would amount to $lSo a year There would. of course, he an additional expense for mainten- ance
 It was then proposed that all ex- penseS should be met by an assessment upon the water users. the assessment tp be levied according to the area of land Watered by each user. It was on this point that the only hitch in the negotiations occurred The Hageard should be basedTC CATe9oSoge.. -.ooetao people believed that the assessment should be based on the area of land owned hy each user
 The court however. believed that that would not be d fair distribution of the burden of expense and later after further consultation the original proposition in its entirety was agreed %

ORIENTAL CARRIES
 MOST DEADLY GUN
Chung Had An Automatic Hidden
 Away Just Over His Liver.

With a Colts automatic revolver
 tucked away beneath his blouse Ii Chung. one of the proprietors of re- staurant on Jefferson street. back of the city hall. was arrested yesterday morning by Marshal Moore at the in stigation of Chris Brown. partner who had some reason to fear that the automatic might be used on him. Chung was fined S25 in Judge Thomas court for carrying concealed weapons.
 Brown and chung formed a partner ship a few days ago. They first called their restaurant the "Chili parlOrs.' After while the name seemed to ir- ritate the Chinese. He did not like it. It was not poetic enough. Brown agreed with him. so after much cogi- tation they selected the Noodle Joint Cosy Parlor." This name. they thought. vas quite resplendent and satisfactory and for day or so everything went along smoothly Then the American and the oriental found out that they could not agree on details of the busi- ness. They wrangled and finally agreed to dissolve partnership. It reached the stage where the noodles. the chili and the store fixtures were to be divided between them. and this. it was found. could not he done amicably without outside adjudication. Brown learned that Chung had armed himself in case of violent dispute with him. Chung said that Brown was carving a gun also but this was not shown by the developments.
 Marshal Moore took q hand yester- day morning He fntrn1 rbrpar in, ba alleyway near the restaurant He sus- pected that the willy Oriental carried gun and searched him He was sur prised at finding nothing Then he searched him again and found lying snugly against his liver. the automa- tic Colts.
 It was the new blue steel gun of the very latest and most deadly type. The marshal examined it critically and re- moved the well-filled magazine that fits neatly in the handle T thought" he said. that the Chinese were a back ward race
 Not so,' replied Chung as he was being conducted to the police station The Chinaman, he invent gunpowder many years ago: the white man. he make gun to shoot it with: then China man, he borrow that gun, same as me" It was the philosophy of Confucius by one of his disciples.

PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE
OWN THEIR RAILWAY

For their own convenience Modesto
businessmen have constructed a rail-
road of their own to connect the South
ern Pacific and the Santa Fe railways.
The road cost about $4,000. Motor cars
Will be used. They have been ordered
and will be placed In operation as soon
as received.
The road was made necessary to con-
meet four parallel lines, and the people
took it into their own hands and built
it themselves. Modesto businessmen
and farmers subscribed literally to the
stock, the Pacific construction COM
pany also taking a large block
Terminal facilities have been ac-
qufred few blocks from the center of
the town. There was some talk of
extending the new road to Patterson,
but it is at present headed toward
Newman. There is no doubt that it
will eventually extend to Waterford
and in time to San Jose. From a very
small start 1t is not improbable that it
may become a great factor in the build
ing up of the whole community and
develop eventually into a very i'm
portant railroad property.

Fully 80 per cent of the Dunkards,
wherever found, are farmers, and at
Modesto nearly all are located on 40
acre pieces. AS they are all good

DEMAND DEVELOPS FOR
SMALL IRRIGATED FARMS
Opening of Panama Canal Will
Improve Outlook

1t is generally accepted among land
experts that the next 10 years will
see 2 tremendous development in Cali
fornia farming lands and that the gen
eral installation of irrigation systems
viii be the order of the day. With the
opening of the Panama canal will come
an influx of foreign farmers, the ma
Jority of whom will be industriously
inclined, but hardly able. financially, to
purchase more than a few acres to the
family. This will create a call for
small irrigated farming subdivisions.
I'VE have hardly started to realize
the possibilities of irrigated lands in
California said j. E. Green, the land
expert in charge of the country lands
department of Baldwin & Howell, .'and
aside from few eastern operating
companies who have made a study of
such projects, we are practically in our
infancy in regard to our knowledge of
the subject
The day was when anything less
than a section of land was looked upon
as being too small, but now we are
learning that 40 acres will produce
greater returns than $50 acres would
under the old system. Furthermore ir-
rigation farming is simplicity itself.
The most successful communities of
irrigation farmers are composed of set
tiers who never saw an irrigation ditch
before they came to California.
There are hundreds of land owners
who have no disposition to subdivide
their holdings. These people will prob
ably be glad to sell out to the big oper-
ating companies, or to individuals with
the capital to make the necessary de-
velopments. The recent sale of the
$4,000 acre Won Schroeder ranch at San
Luis Obispo to /. w. Hellman, the banker.
is an illustration of this idea He'll
man paid $350.000 for this piece and
stated al the time that he was buying
1T purely as an investment He will
in all probability. subdivide it, a task
that baron Won Schroeder had no de-
sire to tackle.
1T takes time, experience and a
world of money to develop irriga ton
systems, but we are coming to it lust
the same.
Land owners who know how to lay
out irrigation schemes, who understand
subdivision work and are willing to
open up city sales departments and
carry on sort of banking business
Tor the next 10 or 20 years can do well
to hold on to their properties and fol-
low the lead of the powerful develop
ment concerns who will soon invade
California. But the man who places
q reasonable price upon his land SO
that they'll buy it of him, instead of
trying to develop it himself, will elm
mate mighty lot of worry
Green stated that Baldwin & Howell
We're securing options upon some of
tne nnest acreage in the state, which
they propose to present for sale to sew
eral eastern concerns, who have writ
ten them for information regarding
California lands. Baldwin & Howell
made $4,000 acre sale only last week
and have several similar transactions
In prospect. Their country land de-
partment is developing into a very i'm
portant adjunct to their business.

KEEP RECORDS OF
STANISLAUS Land
Nothing Allowed to Escape the
Legal Eye of Modesto Title
Abstract Company

The record system of the Modesto
Title Abstract Company is the same as
that employed by the Title Insurance
and Trust Company of Los Angeles, ad-
mittedly one of the most up to date
title companies in the United States. Its
details were worked out by n. A.
Hawkins, lawyer and abstracter of 40
years experience, and now Judge of
the superior court of YoIo county
This system is loose leaf throughout,
allowing for indefinite expansion to
meet the needs of a rapidly growing &
community A triple system of checks
is employed, which reduces the possi-
bility of error to minimum. The
company has in its office an distracted
copy of all instruments ever recorded in
the office of the county recorder and
county clerk from the beginning to
date. These instruments are posted on
the company's books upon the land they
affect, which means that the company
has in its office at all times a complete
abstract of every inch of ground in
Stanislaus county.
Owing to the mathematical accuracy
and extreme simplicity of the system,
this company is enabled to turn out
work with astonishing promptness.
The financial responsibility of this
company is beyond question, con-
trolling interest being owned by Yolo
county capitalists, whose aggregate as
sets run over the million dollar mark.
In its six years in business, however,
this company has never been called
upon to pay a single dollar out for
losses sustained by negligence.
This company has an attorney regu-
larly employed to pass on all legal
points, and it's employees are all we'll
versed in real estate law. 1t has a
complete set of plats and is in every
way qualified to handle every branch of
the abstract and title business.

MADERA'S RESOURCES
Lumber and Granite Vie With
Farm, Garden and Vineyard

Probably no county in the state of
fers more diversified products than
MADEIRA. The shipments for the last
year embrace nearly every product ex-
cept the precious metals.
Over 100000 acres are annually
planted to hard grains. The lumber and
granite shipments are. enormous. One
lumber concern alone employs over 500
men. and the monthly wage aids in
vitalizing the business energies of the
city. The white and sugar pine of
MADEIRA county is in great demand, and
the shipments are continuous all the
year around.
The MADEIRA wine and raisin grapes
have achieved a national reputation.
Peaches. apples and apricots are prof
itably grown in every portion OF the
county. Naturally, a good live stock
country, horses, cattle and hogs are
successfully and profitably raised. The
MADEIRA olives are recognized as the
best in the state.
MADEIRA county offers cheap, good
lands in many desirable sections. Inn
proved mountain lands suitable for
stock fruit and diversified farming,
may be had as low as $25 per acre, and
unimproved lands as low as So. Good
valley lands in MADEIRA county adapted
to hay and grain range from $25 to $50,
and improved orchards and vineyards
from Sl0O 10 SZuO per acre.
MADEIRA county boasts larger private
holdings than any other county in the
San Joaquin valley, one big ranch, the
Chowchilla, embracing an area of
$1,000 acres. There are many others
on a similar large scale and when once
they commence to disintegrate into lit
tie farms, the engineers will find work
to do.
The city of MADEIRA is bustling
community, rapidly growing in popu-
lation and business Importance. 1t has
just completed a high school at a cost
of $4,000. The county courthouse and
jail cost nearly $175,000 to finish. The
county has no bonded Indebtedness, all
public improvements being conducted

What MADEIRA county needs is more
people, and that fact is fully recog-
nized by its progressive public bodies,
which are exerting every effort to
keep the claims of the county before
the home seekers coming to California.
