Miss Elma Ruthl Rumpf and Karl
c.. Ingram, two members of The Cali
fornian staff, were married Saturday
evening at five o'clock at the Presby-
terian parsonage by Rev. John Creigh-
ton, with Mesdames Creighton and
Riley B. Miilard as sole.witnesses. The
news of their wedding was great sur
prise to all of their friends, but perhaps
the greatest of all to little coterie of
former co-workers and Eliminates who
assembled Saturday evenings at the
home of the BRIDES sister, Mrs. ]. M.
Dixon, of 1926 H. street, to attend
dinner and found themselves at a we'd
ding feast.
The marriage is the elimination of a
newspaper romance which. started in
The Californian editorial rooms, where
Miss Rumpf, busily engaged in getting
out her social column, won the admira-
ton and love of Mr.. Ingram, whose
journalistic task is the more prosaic
one of reporting the doings of the
county court house.
Miss Rumpf that was has just passed
her goth year and is one of unusual per-
sonal charm aud manner Her home is
at South Bend, Indiana, from which
place she arrived here year ago with
her mother on visit, and liked the
city so well that she at once took up
newspaper work at Bakerfeld, Cali
fornia. Her home has been made dur
ing this time with her sister, Mrs J. H.
Dixon, of Fl. street.
Mr.. Ingram, who is 26 years of age,
was born at Stockton, California, and
is the son of former prominent min
lister of that place. For two years after
graduation from high schools Mr. In
gram attended Stanford university, bat
was compelled to give up his duties be-
cause of i'll health. During his college
years he was elected to Phi Kappa Psi
fraternity, and gained his first news
paper experience handling all Stanford
news for the San Francisco Examiner.
After leaving college Mr.. Ingram de-
voted his attention exclusively to
newspaper work in San Francisco, Los
Angeles, San Diego and various San
Joaquin valley towns, finally coming to
this city five months ago. Like his
bride Mr.. Ingram is very popular in
this city and the young couple have
the very best wishes of all for their
future happiness.
The wedding supper was served Sat-
urday evening to Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon,
Miss Egie Ashmun, Miss Frances Alb
rogast, Ross C. Miller, Fred Tredway
and Joseph Doyle. At $40 p. m. Mr..
and Mrs. Ingram left via the South
ern Pacific for the north whore they
will remain until this evening on their
wedding trip. Upon their return to
Bakersfield they will make their home
at the Manley apartments. Upon
their leave taking they were we'll show
cred with rice by their friends.

A STORY FROM wEIsER

Rev. W. ]. Luscombe says there is
fine lot of preachers at Weiser,
among whom is bright north af
England man. This minister pro-
tests against people going to sleep
during his sermons and especially
when he has prepared an able lee
ture dealing with missionary WaEls
and the heathens in foreign lands.
When his audience on one occas-
ion seemed rather sleepy. he thun-
dered out: "Ah, you have no idea of
the suffering of Englishmen in Cen
trail America. on account of the enor-
nous mosquitoes. A great many of
these pests would weigh a pound,
and they will get on the logs and
bark as the white men are passing /"
BY this time all ears and eyes are
wide open, and he proceeded to fin
ish his sermon. The next day he
was called upon to account for his
extraordinary statements. But /
didn't say one mosquito would weigh
a pound" he protested; Il said a
great many of them would. l think
perhaps million of them might do
So" But you said they barked at
the missionaries" persisted his

HALF MILLION no BE
SPENT IN DRAINAGE WORK


Work has just been started ON the
dredging of the 51.65 miles of drain
age bitches authorized to be built
within the Nampa- Meridian district
at total estimate cost of $557,OOO.
says the Meridian correspondent of
the Capital News. This work will be
done entirely by the government.
which will use four powerful electric
dredges to do it. One of these dredges
Is now at work at a point six miles
north and three miles west of Mani
pa- A second dredge will be put in
operation soon. The other two
dredges will be put to work by next
spring. 1t Is expected to have these
drainage bitches completed in about
year The bitches will be from 8
to 2 feet deep, and from 5 to 10
feet wide at the bottom.
The figures gives as the cost of the
51.65 miles of drainage bitches are
estimates. The cost of the work may
reach $557.000, but it cannot exceed
this figure. There is possibility that
the cost will be less than this amount
The following is the number of
cubic yards to be removed in the fol-
lowing drainage districts within the
mpa-Meridian Irrigation district:
Five Mile creek, $4,000 cubic
yards; Ten Mile, 100000 cubic
yards; Purdam gulch, 144,000 yards;
Wilson creek, $4,000 yards; Elijah
slough, $4,000 yards; total number
OF cubic yards, 100000. The total
estimate cost. 1851, 900, of which the
government pays 1921, 900 and the
pa-Meridian Irrigation district
pays $266,000.
The whole $557,O00 will be ex-
pended for the benefit of the land
within the Nampa- Meridian Irriga-
tion district, and the $291,00 will be
charged to land within the district
that will receive a government water
right. When the Nampa-Meridian
Irrigation district was organized in
1904 it was the plan to cooperate
with the government and furnish a
water right for the dry land within
the district which at that time
amounted to approximately 10000
acres. There are $4,000 acres em-
braced within the Nampa-Meridian
Irrigation district.
The amount which each acre of dry
land will pay to the government for a
government water right will include
its pro rata share OF the 1921, zoo
expended for drainage. The $266, 900
Ia charged to each acre of land that
had an old water right at the time
the district was organized, which at
that time included about $4,000
acres, and the charge is pro rata on
an equal basis.
