THAT WATER MAY DO
IN THE DESERT LANDS
MT. MAKES DESERTS TO REJOICE AND
HILLS TO BLOSSOM.
"What It Has Done' For the Great State of
California —It Furnishes Light, Heat and
Irrigation—Streams Fed by Perpetu.M
Snow.
I [Special Correspondence.]
Redla.nds, Cal., Nov. B.—Water
Will do almost anything except revive
the dead. Like salt, which the little
boy declared to be that substance which
made potatoes taste bad without it,
* water needs to be mixed with something
-else to show forth all its latent virtues.
The old toper might object to this state
.ment on the score that the less of it in
.his whisky the better he likes it. But
’ we were speaking of water, not whisky,
and, again, the man who “topes” is not
always in condition to pass an opinion.
Water judiciously applied' has been
the salvation of southern California.
The problem confronting the settlers
. here was how to get from a dry but gen
erous soil the dormant elements of fer
tility. It was solved by their going to
the hills and mountains and tapping
the streams which, fed by perpetual
mows, had been running to waste ever
since the period of creation.
Those vyho have seen a California
I i -or the place where, the stream
I to be—may recall that, like an
I ardent honeymoon, it is short, though
it may have been sweet. Some one—l
find the expression in Kate Sanborn’s
book, though Kate did not originate it
—declared that all the rivers and
streams of southern Caliiornia ran bot
tom upward. This axiom, like many
another terse expression of the people,
is almost strictly true. No matter how
■ fiercely, tumultuously, the mountain
I streams may flow, starting out on their
I wild career in the region of springs
and snow banks, after they have reach
' ed the plains where the refreshing in
fluence of their society is imperatively
| necessary they dive beneath the porous
soil or sand and disappear.
| You come, perchance, to a wide
I waste of sand or gravel, where, if you
‘ should have the misfortune to get lost,
.you would perish of thirst and are told
that it is the bed of a stream. If it
shows an inch or two of water on it, the
southern Californian tells you that if
• congress did its duty that stream would
be made navigable and goes wild with
. joy if he happens to kind a fish in it.
That being the character of the average
lowland river and the Californian Mo
hammeds not being able to bring the
mountainsto the plains, they took coun
sel with common sense and themselves
went to the mountains.
I might mention scores of towns and
at least one city which have been in
debted to water for their creation and
their subsequent prosperity. While dis
claiining any intention to make invidi
ous distinctions, yet as it is necessary
to confine my observation, in a limited
article, to one or two examples, I select
in the first instance the case of this
flourishing town of Redlands. It has
been called the Magic City, although
perhaps not any more entitled to this
designation than many another in this
state, but in. ten years, or from 1887 to

rilla, “ Sales Talk,” and I *1 llf
show that this medi- ■ CA IRk
cine has enjoyed public confidence and
patronage to a greater extent than accord
ed any other proprietary medicine. This
is simply because it possesses greater
merit and produces greater cures than
any other. It is not what we say, but
what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does, that tells
the story. AU advertisements of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, like Hood’s Sarsaparilla it
self, are honest. We have never deceived
the public, and this with its superlative
medicinal merit, is why the people have
abiding confidence in it, and buy

PIPE LINE. BEAR VALLEY WATERWORKS.
/897, it sprang at a DoUffd irom a sim
ple country hamlet to a prosperous
town, lighted by electricity, with hun
dreds of beautiful homes and 50,000
lores covered with orange groves.
Fourteen years ago last month the
great Bear valley dam was begun and
completed a little over a year later. The
town site is mountain surrounded on all
sides except the west. Great snow cov
ered peaks, such as those of San Bernar-
BEAR VALLEY WATERWORKS FLUME,
dino, Gray Back and Old Baldy, rise
skyward, attaining to an altitude of
from 6,000 to 12,000 feet. Over behind
old San Bernardino was the partly
drained bed of an ancient lake, which
had once burst its bounds and riven a
canyon through the mountain wall. It
is 6,000 feet above the sea and the stream
flowing from it, called Bear creek, wast
ed itself in the larger torrent of Santa
Ana river. Across the mouth of the can
yon, where at one time ages ago the
natural barrier had been burst away,
an artificial dam was erected 62 feet
high, thus impounding the waters of a
lake now five miles long and a mile in
width, with water enough for irrigat
ing 50,000 acres of land. By means of
iron pipes, cement conduits and subsid
iary reservoirs, the water is conducted
to the valleys and lower foothills, and
there distributed, thus converting what
had been practically a desert section in
to a green and blossoming garden.
The most notable instance of what
Water can do under intelligent guidance
is on the outskirts of Redlands, between
the town and San Timoteo canyon. Such
trite phrases as Edens and Paradises
have long since been worn threadbare in
describing the beauties of the Canyon
Crest park, evoked from the soil of a
formerly barren hillside by the Messrs.
Smiley, natives of and summer residents
in New York. Selecting 160 acres of
the average soil of this section, they
have, wholly through the influence of
water acting upon it, converted a waste
and barren tract into one of the most
beautiful of parks. Here we find nearly
all the trees and flowers of tropics and
semitropics, acres of roses, gardens of
geraniums and chrysanthemums, groves
of olives, oranges, lemons, eucalypti,
pepper trees —in fact, running through
the whole range of northern and south
ern flora, and all has been created with
in the space of seven years’ time.
There is another aspect of this water
problem, and, like the irrigation ques
tion, it is commercial. This is an age
of utilities, and the prospect of that
enormous volume of water in the Santa
Ana canyon going to waste has appealed
to another combination of business men,
who have formed a company to hitch it
to the car of electrical progress. In a
small way—that is, for the lighting of
Redlands—the Santa Ana river has been
utilized to secure a current, but latterly
it is proposed to furnish electricity to
all tbe towns and cities within the ra
dius of 100 miles. Even Los Angeles,
?5 miles away, as well as Pasadena, is
to be provided with all its electric pow
er from this canyon, conducted over
cables, and guaranteed to yield not less
than 5,000 horsepower.
There are other canyons with their
streams descending to the lowlands,
some of which have already been
brought into the service of the electri
cians, but none in this section with the
flow and fall of Santa Ana. The success
of the great scheme will cause a new
business awakening, perhaps another
boom, though from the latter the almost
universal prayer is, Good Lord, deliver
us I Fred A. Ober.

A WOMAN DENOUNCES
The Legislature's Action in Reference
to the Killing the Bush Bill.
To the Editor of The Tribune:
What a picture of inconsistanoy our
legislature is presenting to the world
today working vigorously in muoh haste
to suppress a game, the real purpose of
which, is to develops boys into physical
strength and beauty, because forsooth
of the death of one young man in the
flush of his manly pride and youthful
vigour. A death which could bring no
tears of shame or mortification to his
spartan mother’s cheek, while at the
same time it deals a death blow to pro
hibition (Bush bill)leaving legal, a traffic,
a growing monster which palsies the
brain, unnerves the arm, robs the
pocket, kills the soul, and leads hun
dreds of our men into worse trouble
than death, bringing tears of shame and
mortification to mothers, filling hearts
with unutterable anguish, causing many
a mother to envy Mrs. Gammon’s sor
row. Her boy died bravely doing his
part as a brave mother would wish her
boy to die. Von Gammon's picture was
good to look upon in the health and
strength of a well developed young man.
Gladly would another mother exchange
the blurred features, sunken eyes, husky
voice, and uncertain step, a living and
present picture, with all its memories,
for the one the 'dead boy has left his
mother.
Men of Georgia why take away from
our boys at the university that which is
intended to develops brawn and brain,
mind and morals, that which has a ten
dency to suppress vice and immorality,
yet at the same time deliberately with
out undue baste, leave with them that
which deadens the physical and the
moral man, that which is worse than
dynamite on the track of a nation’s pro
gress, that which makes human sacri
fices day by day, and year by year?
Is our country being led by patriot, or
partisan? Viewing the work of our
Georgia legislators today one might an
swer partisan, seeing how they “strain
at a gnat and swallow a camel.”

Biggest Cannon Ever Made,
The largest gun ever built in the
world is no v being constructed at the
Bethlehem iron works. This enormous
piece of ordnance will weigh when com
pleted 126 tons. It will exceed by six
tons’ weight the monster gun which
Krupp of Germany exhibited at the
World’s Fair in Chicago, and in length
it will be five feet longer than the Ger
man gun.
This monster weapon is being fabrica
ted under the orders of the War De
partment. If is the biggest order ever
given to any establishment in the
world.
The calibre will be sixteen inches. The
length, from breech to muzzle, will be
forty-nine feet two inches. Through the
breech in a vertical line the gun will
have a measurement of exactly five feet.
Mr. Meigs computes the weight of a
shot for the new gun at a little over
2,300 pounds. That means more thas a
ton of meta'. The heaviest shots fired in
England have not weigqed over 2,000
pounds.
The powder charge for the American
gun will weigh nearly 1,000 pounds.
The building of the new sixteen inch
gun is an extensive undertaking. The
gun itself will cost about $120,000. For
single guns the average cost to the gov
ernment for all fabrication work in this
country is roughly SI,OOO per ton of gun.
The cost of the gun carriage and turret
will bring the cost up to as much aga'u
as the weapon, while the cost for founda
tion will, it is est'mated, round out a
grand total of at least $300,000. The
foundation for the six teen-inch gun will
require a depth, it is said, of fifty feet,
if earth b-s the basis. This foundation
must be constructed of concrete.
