fore foot to bleed him — then he jumped up and started down the canyon, I 

 holding on with all my might, and for about a hundred feet on the slope 

 there was a mixed up mess of deer and man, each on top by turns. How- 

 ever, I finally triumphed, and had venison for supper ; but ever after that I

On page 12S, 6th and 7th lines from bottom [footnotes] there is an editorial note in brackets 

 at which Judge Eaton felt aggrieved, and thought it erroneous, and also unjust toward him upon 

 a matter in which he had taken a good deal of pride. Hence I "rise to explain." Now, that 

 "Note" was based on what I had written, as printed on pages 336-37, about B. D. Wilson's ope- 

 rations at Alhambra, upon information gatiiered from Mr. and Mrs. Shorb, and from Mr. Wilson's 

 MSS autobiography, and from his step-son, E. S. Hereford, Esq., of San Gabriel. Mr. Wilson 

 knew of Shorb having iron-piped water from a canyon at Camulos in 1S64 to supply the boiler for 

 his steam engine, and then extending it to his house for domestic uses and also to irrigate the 

 trees, flowers and shrubbery growing there; and it was because he fully believed the same thing 

 could be profitably done on a large scale that he ventured to buy in 1871 the waterless and worthless 

 block of school lands now called Alhambra. His plan and purpose to pipe water onto that land 

 was talked over and well understood in the family when the purchase was made; but on account 

 of various other large enterprises in which Mr. Wilson was then engaged, the subdividing and 

 water-piping project was not carried out until two or three years later, although I had understood 

 at first that it was done within a year or so after the ]nirchase of the land, and hence so wrote in 

 1894. Bui now, October 21, 1895, I learn from J. F. Holbrook of Los Angeles that in 1S73 ^^^ 

 firm of Miles & Holbrook made a lot of riveted sheet-iron piping for Dr. John S. Grififin and piped 

 water under ground from two large elevated pump-tanks to irrigate a ten-acre orange orchard, the 

 same land now known as the Schieffelin Tract in East Los Angeles. Then in the spring and 

 summer of 1874 they furnished the same sort of pipe for the W(jrk that Judge Eaton was superin- 

 tending in the "Indiana Colony." And also at the same time they were laying the same sort of 

 pipe for B. D. Wilson, to convey water from Mission Canyon near the old distillery to irrigate his 

 large Lake Vineyard orange orchard; then the next year they extended this piping on down to the 

 Alhambra Tract. I find in county records that the original Alhambra Tract was surveyed and 

 platted by G. Hansen, in June, 1874. Mr. James M. Tiernan, business manager of The Cap- 

 ital [a weekly newspaper at Los Angeles] assisted as chainman on this survey, and has kindly 

 aided me in these special investigations.
