Arthur Van Fhtt is back in
Grande after ppeii'iiii aHut Uu-jo
weeks in California awf Oreiron
poinU, during which time he attend
ed the Shriners Convention at San
l'Vancisco. "I sttrelv -am delighted
to get back to the best littie city in.dinanee g-ives the commission
the country." he staled, "even if -I
did have a wonderful time on the
trip.
"San Francisco put over a wonder
ful celebiatio when the Multitude
Shriners arrived in town," he contin
ued. "The parade, the hospitality and
everything connected with the con
vention was of a nature rarely seen.
And talk about crowds, on the night
of June it took me just one hour
and twenty-five minutes to go fortv
feet in the Ferry building. The crowd
of outside people in Frisco that
night was estimated at one million.
"The conditions in California are
apparently perking : in fine shape,"
he commented. "liuilding is going
on rapidly in Ls Angeles, Simla
Barbara and practically all of tho
other towns. The wdnut and bean
crop in Southern California looks tike
a record-breaker and the spring wheat
has already been thieshed It is a
lemarkabie fact that the population ;
in California has increased as much
as it has. In my own home town,
Santa Barbara, I was positively sur-j
prised at the growth since the last
time I was there.
Mr. Van Fleet snent some time in

to be Sprinkled; Cut-Out
Fiends Scored.
At the meetine of fhe city commis
sion last evening the water supply
question came up for discussion and
the members of the commission dis
cussed it from many angles, finally
adopting a resolution requested by
the city manager under an or-
er to lest net the use of water m an
emergency. The restrictions placed
are on sprinkling lawns and gardens,
three days a week being fixed for
water use for this purpose, half Hu
city using it Mondays' Wednesdays
and Fridays and the other half Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays. It.
was a!so decided that during Chau
tauqua week Spruce street would by;
sprinkled. '
The resolution restricting the sprin
kling did not meet with unqualified
approval from the commissioners and
in adopting it the remark was made
i that "we will try it a week and set
whether it is really necessary.'
President !W. I. Grand, in discus
sing the water situation declared
that in his opinion the people outside
the city limits should be cut off and
that the people were in larjic pait to
blame for the situation because of

"Let us cut off the water users i
outside of the city; they contribute
nothing towards the upkeep of the
water system and use water that
should bo used by tho?e in the city
whose taxes go toward the paving of
Htv exnenses." he said. "I think
is unnecessarv to make my position
or that of the other commissioners!
clear. I have fought for un ademmte
water supply ever since I have been
on the commission. J. I). McKennon
and Dr. Urownton, when they were
on the commission, and myself, were
always united in our -fight for water,
although we sometimes did not agree
just what would bo the best plan to
follow. Those two men did all r.

city and today their successors arc-
heartily in favor of having the prou
