form him that n few days ago he saw
a girl enter tho drug store and she was
served with whiskey. Ills reasons for
knowing what was served, although
he stood off some distance were as
follows: She had a shawl over her
head and carried a cup instead of a
bottle; she asked for tho goods she de
sired in a low tone of voice, and did
not have a prescription; she concealed
the cup and its contents under the
shawl.
The anger of the druggist had been
rising rapidly during this recital, nnd
when tho detective was told to "git"
and 'git" lively. He "got." .
Whitney afterwards visited a candy
store nnd nlmost frightened the wo
man who conducts it into hysterics by
telling her she would bo arrested for
having a penny gum slot machine on
the premises.

an amusing light on Senator Bopew's

an opportunity of calling the attention
of citizens to tho achievements and

that pedestrians cannot escape seeing
them. I myself saw the name of Sen

VALUE OF WATER.
Used in Irrigation, It Is a Great
Creator of Wealth.
From ten to fifteen million dollars
worth of fruit products are yearly
shipped from Southern California, a
country which was In many places al
most a desert until water was applied
to It from Its mimoious streams. There
are still largo tracts west of tho JIls
sourl river, amounting to millions of
acres, which are awaiting development
through the application of water. In
time these lands will be the homes of
large populations milling their share
to tho business and development of the
country, when tho livers which run
through them arc used to make the
land lit for iigriculturo and life.
Jinny of these streams are now being
studied by the hydrogriiphers of tho
United States geological survey, as a
part of the water resources of tho whole
country, and the facts concerning their
(low and high and low water condi
tions are being collected which will bo
needed as demands are niado upon their
waters for tho development of tho ad
jacent lands.
