localities it baba says easa a sufficient quantity of rain ratu does doea huot fall during the entire winter to thoroughly ba tia the soil soft down to the point where auter water abw always ays stands or to a reasonable depth below the surface it states that when the rainy season heason is over in california the growing plants 3 depend upon the moisture that rias baa been stored tip up in the soil eoll if it this supply is insufficient crops must musi fail hence it aredes in la tayon favor of lo winter lowinger irrigation the beneficial results from anch stich a system it thinks thinka would be incalculable better in many respects oran than summer irrigation and far less costly there are thousands of farms in the state of cal cai california fornia that border upon streams which flow only when it rains or for a short time after when drouth is threatened the water should be turned out of the stream at frequent inter vals vials and made to flow broadly and slowly over the laud land or stand in pools poola until it is all absorbed A large portion of the immense body of water that finds its way through the tha golden gate might thus bo be kept back to fertl fertilize lize ilze the soil and stand la in the place of summer rains which never fall la in california since our settlement of these valleys and our thorough demonstration of if the utility of artificial irrigation th tue

women who would vote would be the precise women to whom prostitution ia Is a profession profess iorio modest women would remain at home homo the chances are certain that the extension of the ballot to women would woula bring out wyllie only the worst elements of the sex and hence the voting power would deteriorate when the tho ballot can bo be employed to crush out vanity vaulty and love or display in women then its use may possibly lessen the social evil for these are the springs which foed food the stream of 11 if this thia bo be a EL true statement and we cannot doubt it it illustrates very

more inclined to be strong minded aggressive or to mike mihe nul nui nuisances of the themselves ins elves than they we were re before the voting po power was conferred upon them because lie ile cause they are voters they the y do not beem to forget that they ahey are women or to have the idea that they must abandon their own sphere of duties and labor and adopt that of the other sex we WO speak this to the credit of the ladies of this territory F if tenes tines is correct dinits in its statements eilts as to the effect woman bumm buff rage would have in that city then the there must be a
