-uMr;! Harris cited the accounts
and papers of the navy, page 162,
volume-42 1854, which describes
how the tides are .affected by the
wind at Elson's Bay, east of Point
Barrow. When the wind was from
the east or northeast there was
scarcely any rise in tide, but with
the wind blowing a gale from' the
southwest the tide sometimes rose
three and a half feet. The infer
ence of Mr Harris drew wa that
the unknown coastline wa not
greatly distant from the north
coast of Alaska, making a pocket
in which the tides pile up.

for 'Water in that basin, namely,
taVsan Diego river, which has not
the v' past winter, received water
enough to well wet up the sand
in its bed. In times of heavy rains
this, river pours a large volume of
water into Mission Bay. No doubt
the question rises in the reader's
mind "why in the world don't
they tap the San Diego river?
Why did they not do so long ago?"
A very legitimate question not
easily answered.
Some sixty years ago, a poor,
barefoot boy was selling papers
on the streets of the little village
of San Diego, with a small popu
lation of Spanish. Mexicans and
Americans. I cannot follow up the
history of the- industrious and
frugal lad. whose name was
Fletcher, or "Fletchy." as they
then called him, but now he is
known as Mr. Fletcher and Is
matching his powers with that of
the city of San Diego. Mr. Fletch
er, is one of the principal owners
in a water company which many
years ago tapped the San Diego
river and took out a small quan
tity of water for Irrigation pur
poses. This company has had for
many years the undisputed right
to draw away water from the
river. I think they also claim to
be successors to the first man who
ever tapped the river. Well what
of it? That is what they have been
trying to find out for several
year, or ever since San Diego has
been awake to the fact that tbb
city must have the San Diego river
or call a halt on the growth of
population and .manufacturing.
Well-, what is the contention? It
is this: That the attorneys for the
city claim that the Fletcher com
pany, is entitled only to the num
ber of Inches of water per acre
foot that the company has been
taking all these many years, while
the attorneys for the water com
pany claim that the company is en
titled to all the water if they
choose to take it or that their
priority of Japping the river gives
the' company the prior right to all
the water. A battle royal has been
raging for years and has not yet
reached the state supreme court,
much less the federal court, where
it vwill likely go unless the city
should make a satisfactory offer
to purchase the priority right.
' Another occurance that Is hast
ening the matter on the part of
the city is its prospect for immed
iate rapid growth, for during the
months of January and February,
1926. a, number of Los Angeles
land boomers have gone to San
Diego and purchased seven mil
lions of dollars worth of property
and are applying the Los Angeles
method to San Diega. and should
they succeed in San Diego as they
have in Los Angeles they will not
find the wherewithal with which
to water their stock.
So you cannot, in this dilemma,
blame San Diego from putting

It Is thought construction of: the
building will take about a month
more. I
forth every legitimate effort t
secure more water.. i
The state of California has
joined with six other states in
bringing pressure on congress to
make a gigantic effort for the con
struction of the proposed Boulder
dam on the Colorado river, from
which almost an unlimited supply
of water can be utilized to make
the whole of the fertile land of
southern California bloom and
blossom like the rose.
' This project of damming thje
Colorado is one of the most com
prehensive pieces of work ever
proposed in the United States, and
it carried it will' in time enable
San Diego to rival Los Angeles in
population and entirely out reach
her in attractiveness. The city
council has now: and for some
months has had in its employ at
a salary of something like one
thousand dollars per month, a city
planner, a Mr. Nolan, who is plan
ning to make San Diego the most
beautiful city in America. His
plans are not yet ready for the
public, but he has given out
some hint as to what ought to be
done. j
