FIFTY-TWO MILES LON It Will Supply Water to a 200,- 000-Acre Tract on the Mojave Plains. COLONISTS TO TAKE UP LAND. An Influx of Thousands Expected as a Result of the Irrigation Scheme. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., June 22.— The purchasers of the Victor reservoir as- sets will commence work Monday witha large number of teams constructing a canal fifty-two miles long, seventy-five feet wide and ten feet deep for irrigating 200,000 acres on MEAj:n'(- piains, on the north side of the range of mountains, extending from Victor_ to a .point on the Atlantic and Pacific road west of Barstow. Six hun- dred miles of lateral canals will be con- structed, on which settlers will do the work, being paid by the company, thus supporting their families while their ranches and fruit farms’ are being de- veloped. The lands to be watered are mostly Gov- ernment land faken up under the desert land act. The company offers setslers the following proposition: The settler takes up 320 acres, making a first payment of 25 cents per acre. The company will furnish him water and pay the balance of the price, §1 per acre, when proved up, give the settler forty acres with water right. one inch to five acres, and take the balance of land for the company. The settler thus reserves a forty-acre ranch with good full water right, the whole costing him but $80, or §2 per acre, The land is very rich for farming and fruit raising, but too cold for citrus fruits. Apples and peaches yield a remarkably fine crop and are fine flavored. The office work and engineering has been going on for nearly a yvear during negotia- tions. When the deal was completed a week ago the company was ready to com- mence work. This syndicate, called the Columbia Colonization Company, is very wealthy, and has a large colony in Georgia, and one in the Antelope Valley, this State. Itis simply a land and water syndicdte, but furnishes colonists as soon as land and water ie ready for them. General O.O0. | Howard is one of the principal managers, and his brother, General C. H. Howard, publisher of Field, Farm and Fireside, is connected with him. This paper is their organ, and has a very large circulation in the Bast, and assists in sending out colon- i The office of the company is erowded daily with applicants for lands, and in- quiries are coming in daily by the hun- dreds through the mail. As the company will push the work actively, prospects are excellent for the establishment of thou- sands of settlersin the colony within two years, adding great wealth to this counfry, and San Bernardino. being the nearest supply point, business of all kinds will be active here. This immense deal was due to James E. Mack of Bloomington and this city, who has stood by the scheme since its first in- ception by him three years ago, though ali deserted him during the panic. But his faith was never shaken in the deyelopment of the waters of the Mojave River, and placing them on this land, and he stood by it and completed the deal that gives prom- ise of a brilliant future to that portion of the imperial county. The company ap- preciates his staying qualities, and will place the affairs at this end of the line in s charge. TABOR CONVICTED. * Mercy Asked on Behalf of the Slayer of vames Medlin.

SAN JOSE, CaL., June 22.—The cherry season is about over and there will be alull in fresh fruit shipments for a week or two. This year growers made more money than last, although twice as much was shipped last year. Manager E. K. Colling of the Earl Fruit Company, in an interview to- day, gave some interesting figures. ‘“‘As an illustration of the satisfactory prices this year,” said he, “it may be said that one carload shivped by us this year sold for $3000 gross in Chicago and another sold for $2700 in New York. The ship- ment to Chicago, as wiil be seen, was much the more profitable, because of the difference in freight, but in both instances a profit was realized on the cherries sold on an average for 15 cents per pound in Chicago and 13 cents in New York. *‘The sales were made in open auction. The ten-pound boxes sold for from $1 25 to $1 88 each. Small choice lots brought as high as $2 35 per box. One lot of 360 boxes brought 1414 cents per pound right through 22 for the lot. Last year the party for whom this shipment was made lost money on his cherries, and he shipped twice as many as he did this year. *‘The smallamount of cherries remaining to be picked and shipped this year are the Royal Anne and Black Republican varie- ties. There will be little or nothing doing in fruit packing and shipping for several weeks now, although we are already send- ing forward a few early. peaches. No re- turns have yet been rzceived, and it is too early to judge as to whether or not the early peach shipments will be profitable this year.” EXTINCTION OF GAME. Surveyor Herrmann Deploves the Non- Enforcement of the Law. SAN JOSE, CarL., June 22 mann, the surveyor and civil engineer, who has returned from an extensive trip through the mountainous regions of Mon- terey County, which in the early eighties was the sportsman’s paradise, said to-day: “I have traveled the region of country through which the Arroyo Seco runs in the early eighties and counted as many as forty-five deer in one day’s travel. You can go a hundred miles now and never catch sight of a deer. The great American sportsman, whose object is to kill more than the other fellcw, has simply cleaned the noble animals out. and in a few more years the California deer will be a curi- osity. *‘What is true of the deer is also true of all other kinds of noble game! Hunters have gone through the mountains killing deer for their hides. If they can't get them any other way they will wait at some spring in a dry region of the country where they know the animals’ must come for water, and then murder them. “A few yearsago I could go along the Arroyo Seco or any of its numerous branches and cateh a mess of trout in a little while. Now you can fish all day and if you catch a good mess you are lucky. I have seen alleged sportsmen catch great baskets full when they had no use for more than a few. Those that they did not need they simply threw away to rot. Hunters and fishermen have ruined the sport, and if the fish and game laws are not made more strict and more stringently enforced, the grand sport of trout fishing and deer and quail hunting will cease to ge anything but a recollection.” SEARCHING FOR AN HEIR. A Legacy Left by an FEnglishman for Which an Owner Cannor Be Found. SAN JOSE, Can, June 22.—Charles Kinsley, representing the American De- tective Agency, is in the city searching for William H.

LOS ANGELES, Cavr, June 22.— “Frisch, frei, stark und treu,” “Willkom= men! willkommen!” are familiar words heard on every side in Los-Angeles to-day. German, German in the decorations, Ger- man in the warm welcome to visitors, who have been coming since early morning, German in the: hospitality extended on everyehand to strangers and German in the music that freighted the air-with melo- dious strains all day. Oakland delegates to the Kreisturnfest were the first to arrive, coming last evening. They found the city gay with bunting and decoratiops and fully prepared for the hosts who were to follow them. The San Francisco Turners and Vorwaerts came early this morning and are quartered at Hollenbeck; the Mission and Oakland boys are at the United States Hotel; the Eintrachts at Westminster; Sacramento and San Jese at Natick and San Diego and Anaheim a¢t Ramona. The crowds began gathering early to witness the parade, and by 7 o'cleck the streets forming the line of march were so densely crowded as to be well nigh impas- sable. Turner Hall was a blaze of light. The whole front of the building -was out- lined in red and white electric lamps. The parade was a grand success, being participated in by the Seventh Regiment in addition to the list already published in the CaLL. The San Francisco men in neat uniform and of athletic appearance, made a decided impression, and were ‘the recipients of many compliménts. Rockets, red fire and Roman candles marked the line of march, already brilliant with the flare of torches and lanterns. Arriving at the City Hall the procession massed, and Mayor Raeder was introduced by Grand Marshal Strohen. . His speech of welcome, to the surprise and gratification of the Turners, was de- delivered in German. The Mayor, after a glowing tribute to the home organization | and a welcome to its visitors, concluded: “And sowe hope that this festival, which has assembled so many Turners from all parts of the country in this city, will tend to better acquaintance and appreciation that will be carried out to the pleasure, satisfaction and honor of us all. “And so I welcome you once more, promising. that no obstruction shall be placed in your way for the celebration of | your festival; that ‘the way shall he clear }for you and your friends for yaur exer- | cises, sports and entertainments, and I hope that, to use the motto of the Turn | Verein, you will be ‘fearless and free, | strong and true,’ -in the advocacy of your | principles during this festival, during | your stay with us, promising you the sym- | pathy and hearty co-operation of the citi- | zens of this municipality. Therefore, | ‘good cueer.’ After three rousing cheers the line was reformed ' and resumed ' the march to Turner Hall, where the theater and dining- room were turned into one immense ban- quet hall, with accommodations for over 700 guests. The tables were quickly filled, the galleries being occupied by ladies. The decorations were on an elaborate scale and hundreds of electric lights brought out every detail. The stage was occupied by officers of the society, the guest of honor being Mayor Rader. To-morrow will witness the opening of the athletic sports at Agricultural park, preceded by a parade, and theevening will be taken up by a concert embracing solos by the leading artists oy Los Angeles and mass chorus singing of societies.
