A "l0ST RIVER"
Kern River in California
Never Reaches Its Former
Outlet-Waters Consumed
for Irrigation.

The deep Kern River canyon. in
the high Sierra country OF Cal'for
MIA, is interestingly described in Il
report just issued by the United
States Geological Survey. Alti-
tndes in the kcrO River basin
range from few hundred feet at
the mouth of the rivers lower can
yon to more than II 900 feet on
he headwaters over hNndred
miles distant. More than 80 Of
the peaks in the basin exceed 13,
600 feet in altitude, and many OF
the lakes which feed the upper
stream are at an altitude of | 900
feet or more.
Mount Whitney, the highest
mountain in the United States,
towering IA 5Ol feet above sea
level, overlnOks the northern part
OF the Kern River basin from the
east.
Kern River rises III glacial lake
let's among the high peaks Of the
Sierra divide and on the Kings
Kern and Great Western divides.
1t flows directly southwark about
| 20 miles, then sOuthwestward to
the mouth Of its canyon a few
miles northeast of Bakersfield,
where it enters the south end OF
San Joaquin Valley. No water
from Kern River has reached the
San Joaquin in recent years. The
water is all utilized for irrigation
before it reaches the larger valley
aud the Kern becomes a ''losl
IIver."
The principal tributary of Kern
River is it's South Fork The la
sin is divided into txO lesser ba
SINS, differing greatly in topo
graply. The eastern basin it
characterized by comparatively
low, fiat, and irregular hills, serar
ated by many, intervening mead
ows, large and small; 1t is drained
by the South Fork. The western
basin IL characterized by high gla
ciated peaks and ridges and b!
deep canyons; it is drained b!
the main stream, which, flows 10
great part of It's length through
narrow canyon. Kern Rive
canyon proper is about 20 mile
long, | mile wide at the top, am
800 to 1000 feet deep. Th
bottom Of the canyon is severa
hundred feet wide and the averag
gradient is 100 feet to the mile.
The description of this rive
and of other rivers in the grea
San Joaquin basin is found in Wa

PROTESTANT
CEMETERY
ASSOCIATION

To the members of the New Ibe
ria Protestant Cemetery AssOcl
alton and all others who have an
interest in Rose Hill Cemetery.
We, the officers, herewith pre-
sent Il statement OF the financial
status and TRANSACTIONS OF our socie-
ty since it's Incorporation May 10th
1910 covering a period of more
than twelve years 1t Will be
seen that a rather large amount OF
money has been recrlved ana at
the regular monthly meeting Oh
Monday Nov ll'h 1912 the treas
urel's regular monthly statement
rendered showed tIias the Bann
balance was lSc all outstanding
obligations however, bad been paid
in full to that date. All Of the
several parcels of land which we
have purchased at various periods
Of our history have been paid for
in full, and when purchased on
time and mortgage notes given,
said notes have been taken up and
cancelled on the records in the
Court House.
1t was necessary to incur debt
to acquire property, without which
it was impossible TO achieve the
objects and ends for which our
Association came into beng. The
liquidation of these obligations we
believe to be a qualification to ev-
ery member of our Association but
at the same time as we have stat
ed before it leaves our treasury
depleted. We will have to de
pend upon the dues Of our mem
bers to pay our current expenses
until such time as we can make
sales of some of our lots. In thls
connection permit us to urge every
member of our Association who
has not paid their dues promptly
come to our relief so that we may
be able properly to administer the
affairs of the Association. The
dues are only $500 year.

The following paragraph, con-
cerning the coming of Rev. E. Q.
Bailey to Edgefeld, which was sent
to the News and Courier by its
Timmonsville correspondent, will
be of interest to many of our
readers:
"Mr. Bailey says that this was
one of the best Christmases he and
his family have spent. His con-
gregation did all and more than
could be expected for the happiness
of his household. A Christmas
tree was in full blast or Monday
night at his home given by the Sun
day-school for children and parents
of the Church. Mr.. Bailey will
not leave for his new home until
March, at which time he goes to
accept the pastorate of the Edge
