DOH’T FORGET THE f .QHG DISTAHCE TELEPHONE 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 Sales With Hood’s Sarsapa- ■■■ ■ ■ 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 Hood’s Sarsaparilla Almost to the exclusion of all others.

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.” A Patriot’s Daughter. BUCKLEN’B ARNICA SALVE.

For sale by Curry-Arrington Co., druggists, Rome Ga 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. fIcT HUMORS Pimples, blotches, blackheads, red, rough, oily, mothy skin, itching, scaly scalp, dry, thin, and falling hair, and baby blemishes prevented by Cuticuba Soap, the most effective skin purifying and beautifying soap in the world, as well as purest and sweetest for toilet, bath, and nursery, (yticura Soap is sold throughout ths world.
