piece of gas pipe and did some distill
ing over the stove In his house. This
turning out well, he had a small still

Bacramonto, CaL, Dec. 28. That hun
dreds of Asiatics, mostly Hindus,' are
illegally In California, and that the
. state has failed to provide funds for
the employment of physicians to search
out cases of diseased all ana and effect
, their rtoportatlon, was the assertion to
day of a prominent member of the state
board of health. " '
The federal government is willing to
do l'ts share toward seeing that dis
eased foreigners do not enter the coun
try, but it depends on the state health
departments to see that where infectious
diseases develop in so-called "undesir
ables," a report. shall be made to the
federal authorities, that the diseased
peri-ons may be deported. ' ' .'
,' Health officials state that the de
partment is handicapped through lack
of funds with which to pay an adequate
corps of inspectors and that If the in
Kpection force were made more effec-
tive there would be fewer Hindus and
other orientals in California.
Hookworm and Other Diseases.
One of the principal ailments of the
' Asiatics,' it Is asserted, is, hookworm,
, nnd although' this, may be cured within
two. weeks, under 'the law it would be
sufficient' reason for (Jeportatlon of any
'immigrant developing symptoms of the
; disease.:. :..t; ?;, , -.; j...

physicians. : . -.'..;''."" -... 'W'"'..

j ; ; England Klyht protest
v It is feared by those who desire to see
Hindu Immigrants turned back-fthat too
many deportations would result in pro-
' test .from England. It is pointed out
that If the hookworm excuse should be
overworked It would pay those desiring
Vhooper labor .in California to place phy
elcians aboard the Pacific liners and
, cure all those afflicted with the dls
ease, before the vessel reached the Pa
cific coast.
While no move has been made to in
crease the effectiveness of the state
health board in respect of funds neces
sary, It is considered likely that bills
to cover the matter will be presented at
the coming session of the. leglslaure,

great deal of attention. It being . the
first animal of Its kind ever seen in this
section, - The animal, while not nearly
as-' large, as the native cattle of this
country, Is covered with a heavy growth
of hair, almost as long andthlck . as
that ,of a buffalo, and it haa long, large,
wide-spreading horns which measure 39
Inches from tip to tip. v ;
The Scotch cow was imported to this
country with several others by Robert
Burns, for the purpose of breeding with
the native cattle of this country, to im
prove the range breed, as the cattle of
America are not nearly aa good rustlers
as those of Scotland. In their native
land the animals are very wild and be
ing imported to this country become
even more so. They do not take kindly
to we native cattle ef this country.

Denver Capitalists Build Big
Irrigation Plant on Snake
River. ;
(Speclnl D.1intch to Tbt JoornaLI
Bolso, Idaho, Dec. 28. The Thousand
Springs Power company is planning to
build an electric plant on Snake river,
Just below .Brown's Flats, to pump
water for the irrigation of 8000 acres
of land along the river benches. The
entire outlay, Including the erection of
the electric power plant, the building
of the power line and the installation of
the pumping plant will cost approxls
niately 3300,000.
All of the power from the Thousand
Springs plant will not be used for ir
rigation pumping. On the contrary,' the
company expects to use it commercial
ly, for it4has thoroughly tested out the
proposition and knows the amount of
power that can be generated by these
wonderful springs that burst out of the
side of the bluffs along the river. Some
Idea of this power can be derived from
the fact that the estimated strength of
the Springs is 14,000 horsepower. The
electric plant will convert about 3000 of
this into actual power. Many contracts
are now being signed up for the irrl
Ration of the land, end work will go
ahead until the plant Is completed.
Water is to he delivered by May 1, 1912,
according to the contracts.
Water Bench Lands.
The lands to be irrigated and which
are located along the south shore of
the Snake river are easily reached by
lifts of 35 o 100 feet. They are about
50 miles west of the Thousand Springs
In the country oftentimes referred to as
the Bruneau. On the shores of the
Snake river Just below the lands the
pumping plant will be erected. It will
derive its power for operation from the
line lo . be . constructed from the eleo'
trio plant erected at the springs.
y ; Hatural Wonder of Idaho.
The Thousand Springs form one of
tl-e wonders of the many to be found
in southern Idaho, and only can be ap
preciated, It Is said, by those who have
seen them. . These .springs Issue from
a bluff on the side of the Snake river
at a b eight of about 200 feet aobve Us
waters, for a distance of nearly a third
of a mi lo along the line of contact be
tween a capping of porous basalt and
an underlying stratum . of Impervious
rock,' end flow unseen under and among
the ilebris that has fallen during ages
past from the overhanging cliff until
the emerge to view atN varying heights
and places, Jiterally a thousand springs.
, Abundant Supply of Water.
The fall of the water from Its line
of issue on the cliff to the Snake inver,
almost directly below, is higher than
Niagara. The water , is ' soft and of
unvarying Quantity and unchanging
temperature, 69 degrees winter and sum
men experts 'maintain that it is an
underground river or lake, others that
it Is the drainage from a mountain
range 100 miles or more distant, , seep
ing through the porous 1 surface rock
until it reaches the underlying imper
vious stratum upon which it flows
until It Issues from the cliff. Geologic
conditions prove that the springs have
existed for ages practically unchanged.
