Show Huge Scheme. A scheme of unparalloled magnitude magni-tude Is about to bo undertaken In California, Involving tho construction of two reservoirs, one of 8,000 acres area and tho other, at a level of 250 feet lower, of 2,000 acres area. A canal about ten miles In length will connect tho resen olrH.
