I wrote an article for the Los Angeles Journal on the 13th of March, 1880, in answer to questions asked by eastern people, inquiring whether that was a good time to come to California, or not. In it I said there never was as good a time for a poor man or a rich man to come here, not even in '49 or since that time. Everybody who knows what has happened here since, can see the truthfulness of my prediction. Later on, in May, 1883—I had just returned from San Bernardino—and on the 17th of that month I wrote an article for your paper, in which I stated that lands in San Bernardino and between here and there were changing hands between farmers for cultivation for from $150 to $250 per acre, while there were lands within two miles of our city plaza selling for $60 per acre, or offered for that without payment. FRANCE AND GERMANY. A SPECK OF WAR ON THE ALSACE-LORRAINE HORIZON—THE VISIT OF THE EMPRESS FREDERICK TO BERLIN A FAILURE—SHE QUITS PARIS FOR ENGLAND—THE KAISER IN A RAGE. Some two weeks ago the Empress Frederick, of Germany, mother of the present Kaiser, set out from Berlin to Paris for the purpose of using her good offices and influence with the French artists to the end that their works of art might be exhibited, at the forthcoming Berlin exhibition. This was the first attempt to conciliate the French that the Germans had attempted since the Franco-Prussian war of twenty years ago. That the Empress Frederick saw fit hastily to leave Paris is evidence conclusive that the war spirit is not dead, and that the French would not be slow to provoke hostilities again. The German government was conspicuous by its absence from last year's exhibition at Paris. At our Centennial Exposition the large Krupp guns in the German display were pointed menacingly at the French exhibit. It is designed to make the forthcoming Berlin exhibition a most elaborate affair, and it was thought that, inasmuch as the absence of the French works of art would work a serious drawback to its success, the Empress Frederick should repair to Paris and attempt a reconciliation. The Empress is the daughter of Queen Victoria, and reluct of the late Empeter. Two weeks ago the visit of the Empress was planned. On her arrival in Paris she was accorded the courteous distinction due her rank, but the ranking points of the war seem not to have been obliterated, and she was compelled to leave France, realizing that her visit was a failure. A Paris dispatch from London of date of Saturday says: Ex-Empress Frederick of Germany left Paris this morning. No pleasant incident marked her departure.

The Empress is the daughter of Queen Victoria, and relict of the late Empor. Two weeks ago the visit of the Empress was planned. On her arrival in Paris she was accorded the courteous distinction due her rank, but the ranking points of the war seem not to have been obliterated, and she was compelled to leave France, realizing that her visit was a failure. A Paris dispatch from London of date of Saturday says: Ex-Empress Frederick of Germany left Paris this morning. No unpleasant incident marked her departure. The gravity of the situation, however, can be judged from the fact that under advice from high quarters, the ex-Empress changed her route for fear of being insulted. It was publicly announced yesterday evening, and again this morning, that she intended to leave Calais at 11:30 A.M., but left two hours earlier and was driven rapidly to Gare-Du-Nord, where she entered a train for Boulonge. She will, however, not embark for England at that port, but will proceed from there to Calais, where the royal yacht is awaiting her. In spite of the precautions, several hundred people gathered around Gare-Du-Nord. It was a civil and quiet crowd, however, the majority of the men taking off their hats as she passed. No insulting cries of any kind were heard. The ex-Empress appeared perfectly calm, and cordially hade adieu to the representatives of the German embassy who accompanied her to the station. At a reception yesterday evening Gervex, the painter, was presented to the ex-Empress. On behalf of a portion of the French artists, he expressed the regret they felt at not being able to send their works of art to the Berlin exposition, but they could not place themselves at variance with their colleague. The ex-Empress in reply said she appreciated the justice of the French artists' motives, and accepted them in a friendly spirit, though she regretted that France would not be represented at Berlin. In an interview with the President of the Society of Artists, the latter declares that he will still advocate that French artists should send exhibits to Berlin, though contrary to the opinion of his brother artists. The ex-Empress and her party arrived at Garde-Du-Nord in three landaus. The police officials had taken every precaution to protect her, a body of over five hundred policemen being at the depot. The ex-Empress was accompanied by the whole staff of the German embassy. Count Von Munster and a number of police accompanied her to Boulonge, and from their to Calais. The royal yacht having on board the ex-Empress Frederick and suite, arrived at Dover Saturday afternoon. The ex-Empress was on enthusiastically received. The ex-Empress and suite were met in London by the German minister, and received an ovation at the Windsor. A banquet was given them by the Queen. Herbette, the French minister at Berlin, has informed the Chancellor that he desired to express personally to the Emperor his regrets at the manner in which the Empress had been treated. The Emperor replied that he did not wish to hold any unofficial conversation on a subject which would be personally painful to himself and Berbette. This is interpreted in official circles as pointing to the Emperor's determination to obtain from the French Government some form of satisfaction for the treatment accorded his mother. The Empress Frederick has telegraphed to the Kaiser to pull down his imperial vest, and off. The attention of the citinity is directed. $25 up. $6 up. cordially extended the me this stock.

GENTLEMEN: I have been troubled with bad blood for some years, but recently purchased two bottles of Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup, which has entirely cured me. As a blood purifier it has no equal, and I also take pleasure in recommending it as a tonic, alternative, and reliable rheumatic remedy. Very truly yours, S. E. Ferguson, Eaton Rapids, Mich.

PROPOSALS IN WRITING WILL BE RECEIVED by the undersigned, up to the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company on Saturday, March 7, 1891, at 2 P.M., from candidates for the places of Superintendent and Zanjeros of the said company, to serve for the ensuing year. For particulars apply to the undersigned at his office in the Backs Block, Los Angeles street, Anaheim, Cal. Secretary Adolph W. Co. Herbette, the French minister at Berlin, has informed the Chancellor that he desired to express personally to one Emperor his regrets at the manner in which the Empress had been treated. The Emperor replied that he did not wish to hold any unofficial conversation on a subject which would be personally painful to himself and Berbette. This is interpreted in official circles as pointing to the Emperor's determination to obtain from the French Government some form of satisfaction for the treatment accorded his mother. The Empress Frederick has telegraphed to the Kaiser to pull down his imperial vest, and cool off. And so the matter rests. The Future of the Heat Industry. Los Angeles, Pomona, Gutario, Colton, San Bernardino and other places as well as Chino have already felt the beneficial effects of the sugar industry secured for this place, and the work has hardly begun. Brick, stone, lime, lumber, cement, fuel, hardware, furniture and many other supplies have been procured elsewhere and cash paid therefor, and hundreds of mechanics and laborers with and without teams have earned and received a good deal of cash. It requires no prophet to foresee the vast earning and distribution of money at Chino with but one factory and refinery in operation. It is to the interest of every town and nearly every locality in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Orange counties to contribute to the support of the Chino sugar business by growing sugar beets for it; the growth of beets cannot be overdone. The manufacturing capacity of the plant here will be increased just in proportion to the supply of beets. Fruit growers as well as traders, farmers, mechanics, laborers and professional people will be benefited by the sugar industry here. Canneries and the various operations for handling and preserving fruit will multiply where cheap sugar and fruit are produced together.—Chino Champion. Notable Surgical Operation. Santa Ana Herald. Dr. C. G. Garrison is treating a case that requires both skill and nerve. He has removed a cancer as large as a walnut from near the right temple on C. H. Matthwa' face, and since the cavity healed up the Doctor has removed another larger one from the left side of Mr. M.'s face, which had eaten away a large portion of the cheek, destroying the left nostril and some of the bones of the nose. The cancer is entirely removed and the wound is healing; but to provide a new nostril and to heal the large cavity, the Doctor says it will be necessary ON THE ALSACE—THE VISIT FREDERICK TO URE—SHE QUITS AND—THE KAISER the Empress Frederick mer of the present prince to Paris for the good offices and inch artists to the end night be exhibited, in exhibition.

The arm will be bound tightly against the face for about ten days, and after the skin of the arm grows to the wound will be cut away, leaving a corresponding skinless place on the arm. The whole operation will require weeks of persistent, patient and careful handling; and if entirely successful will be a noteworthy triumph of medical and surgical skill. Irrigation Facts. Until these rich and productive plains were artificially watered they were barren waites, useless except for grazing, and uncertain even for that purpose. The transformation of all this magnificent section from an arid and uninviting plain into a beautiful garden spot was wrought by water brought from therivers by the ingenuity of man. Irrigation is redeeming the great American desert. In Fresno county there are sixteen irrigation companies, each having its own cabals, taking water from the Kings river, San Joaquin and Fresno rivers, combined having 750 miles of main canals or ditches, with about the same number of miles of distributaries and laterals. These sixteen systems have cost in the neighborhood of $2,000,000 to build, and they serve about 350,000 acres of land. Of this about 300,000 acres are planted in cereals and yield a profit of $10 per acre. Not less than 3,000 acres are in fruits, and yield at least $100 per acre. These fruits comprise oranges, peaches, pears, apples, nectarines, apricots, plums, cherries, pomegranates, figs, olives, mulberries, etc. Thirty thousand acres are in grape vines, one-half of which are in bearing and yield $100 per acre, while 20,000 acres are planted in alfalfa, yielding $40 per acre. The assessed value of irrigated lands ranges from $25 to $50 per acre with an actual selling value of $50 to $100, while the assessed value of non-irrigated land is only from $5 to $10 per acre, with a selling value of from $10 to $20 an acre. The mother system, the Fresno Canal and Irrigation Company, was organized by private capital on February 16, 1861. There were 500 original settlers and the present population is about 20,000. Originally there were embraced in the enterprise only 5,000 acres, same as the lice attack the cabbage. They seem to be a natural enemy of the peanut. I do not favor early planting for two reasons. They are more subject to be attacked by the red spider, and they do not ripen even, and all the first nuts are lost in harvesting. About the first to the middle of May is the best time to plant, as they ripen even and are of a more uniform size. As to planting seed that is infested with red spider, I will say, if they are not in the seed, the kernels are small and shrivelled and do not produce stout, healthy plants, and suckly vines are what cause red spider. Plant the beat seed you can get, as many got a poor stand last season from planting inferior seed. The beat and cheapest remedy I have found is to cover up with dry dirt the vines affected with the spider as soon as they make their appearance, as they spread very fast if left alone. Do not plant peanuts among bearing trees or on cloudy ground; if you do you will have red spider sure, for the ground gets dry and the plant becomes dry, and when the vines stop growing for the want of moisture or cultivation then they become diseased or leasy. I have some obsolete peanuts for seed that are free from red spider and well filled. I also have a machine for hulling peanuts to plant, which cleans out all the small and brooked nuts, leaving all nice plump kernels to plants—R. M. Hargrave in Santa Ana Standard. Clever Sayings of Senator Ingalls. Mr. Ingalls' clever sayings in and out of the Senate are numberless. You may remember, perhaps, how he paid his compliments to poor old "Joe" Brown of Georgia, and how he managed to introduce the most unparliamentary language by the simple device of always referring to an imaginary Senator whom the distant territory of Alaska might at some future date send to Congress, while he really gave a pen picture of Joe Brown which no one could mistake. Equally fresh in your memory must be his celebrated definition of the Mugwump. Present also to your mind, no doubt, are his occasional comments upon Mr. Cleveland. His onslaught on the 'Tall Sycamore of The Embress arrival in Paris she had distinction due to the war and later, and she France, realizing London of date of the Empress Frederick of morning.

The assessed value of irrigated lands ranges from $25 to $50 per acre with an actual selling value of $50 to $100, while the assessed value of non-irrigated land is only from $5 to $10 per acre, with a selling value of from $10 to $20 an acre.

Originally there were embraced in the enterprise only 5,000 acres, and the present area is 200,000. Before settlement the value of the land was $250 an acre. The present value per acre is unimproved, $50 to $100; improved, $100 to $300. With water supply the land is worth from $5 to $10. These lands are irrigated by water taken from the Kings river, by canals dug in the ground, supplying one cubic foot, flowing per second, to every 160 acres, at a cost of 62 cents per acre. All water is served by annual rental, the water rights being attached to the land and appurtenant there. These water rights are bought from the company which guarantees a perpetual supply of water. The general size of the holdings is from twenty to forty acres and are mainly devoted to grapes for raisins and wines, and fruits. On the non-irrigated condition there were In crops and never would have been of any consequence.—Fresno Republican. Robbing the Soil. It is not many years since the belief prevailed among Western farmers that the wonderful fertility of their virgin soil would continue indefinitely without abatement. California farmer planted wheat year after year and laughed at the idea of rotating crops, fertilizing, or even occasionally resting their land. It was in vain that sensible men told them that every crop used up certain constituents of the soil, which must be replaced or there would be a gradual falling off in the yield. Before many years, however, these predictions began to come true. The number of bushels per acre which the land yielded gradually fell, and now some of this land, which gave such wonderful crops, scarcely pays to plant wheat. The result was inevitable. The soil of Western America is so different from the virgin soil of many other parts of the world. Land can no more be planted to one crop year after year, without diminishing its yield, than a man can keep taking money out of his pocket forever without replacing it. In some sections, such as the Delta of the Nile, a vast amount of mud—itself rich fertilizing matter—is deposited on the land by the overflow of the river, rendering artificial fertilizing unnecessary. But, in all ordinary cases, fertilizers must be used by the prudent husbandman. It may be stable manure, or imported guano, or clover plowed in, or bone dust—in some manner the chemical substances which the plant life has absorbed have to be replaced. Southern California has been no exception to other sections in this experience. Our horticulturists have gone on taking tons of fruit from each acre every year, meanwhile dumping their farm manure into a convenient wash, until they have been surprised to find the fruit, in many cases, diminish in quantity and deteriorate in quality, while insect pests have made destructive inroads upon their orchards. At length a light has dawned upon them and the turn of the tide has gone member, perhaps how he paid his compliments to poor old "Joe" Brown of Georgia, and how he managed to introduce the most unparliamentary language by the simple device of always referring to an imaginary Senator whom the distant territory of Alaska might at some future date send to Congress, while he really gave a pen picture of Joe Brown which no one could mistake. Equally fresh in your memory must be his celebrated definition of the Mugwump. Present also to your mind, no doubt are his occasional comments upon Mr. Cleveland. His onslaught on the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash" needs here mention only to recall one of the most sensational scenes of the United States Senate has ever witnessed. The episode with the two Massachusetts Senators is not so well known because it autodates the time when his tongue began to acquire a national reputation. He was engaged in a discussion with Mr./Hoar when Senator Dawes came into the chamber. Dawes caught a word or two, and arising asked Senator Ingalls if the remarks were intended to refer to him. "I refer," said Mr. Ingalls, with great dignity and deliberation, "I refer to the successor of Charles Sumner, and not to the successor of Daniel Webster." For malicious sarcasm this has never been surpassed. Like many men to whom sarcasm seems second nature, Mr. Ingalls was ridiculously sensitive to unfavorable comments upon his outward appearance. The stories told at his expense which illustrate this weakness are numerous. I do not know whether the following has ever been told. You know, of course, that only by a generous stretch of imagination he could be called handsome. Not a long time ago he was just entering the Senate chamber with a colleague, when the latter was called to one side and Senator Ingalls dropped into the chair usually occupied by the door-keeper, but at the moment vacant. A minute or so later there strode down the corridor a big Westerner, with the prairie mud still clinging to his heels and an application for office in his pocket. With a glance of withering contempt he came up to the supposed door-keeper, and, sticking out his great foot, said: "Here you dude, trot out Senator Ingalls!" Ingalls was half dazed at the suddenness of his situation, and jumping to his feet, asked: "Do you know Ingalls?" "No, I don't," was the reply, "but you won't have any trouble in picking him out, for he's so ugly his photograph will stop a cyclone on sight." The Senator had nerve enough left to ask: "Is he any uglier than I am?" The Westerner gazed for a moment into his distorted features, and then replied: "Well, don't know; but I expect you crowd him mighty close." How an Orchard Makes Money. Colonel George E. Prentiss, an unusually successful fruit-grower near Downey, tells us that his ten years farming in the East, and twelve years of growing fruits in this region, have convinced him that, if the Southern California orchardists would give three-fourths of the attention to their orchards that the Eastern farmers do their grain fields, and then economize in managing their properties, the aggregate of profits from fruit culture would be unparalleled in the whole world. The Colonel has had a crop of Eng- Eastern industry. Cutario, Colton, places as well as the beneficial effects are needed for this place, they begun.

Since writing an article on the cultivation of peanuts I have been asked why I did not give my version of the red spider. The red spider is a small insect, or house, too well known to all peanut growers to need describing. They first make their appearance near trees or a long hedge, or turn rows where weeds are allowed to grow, or in spots where the land is cloddy when planted. They appear many times in spots all over the field. They do not make their appearance until dry warm weather sets in, and then peanuts that are stunted are attacked by the red spider, which is about the How an Orchard Makes Money. Colonel George E. Prentiss, an unusually successful fruit-grower near Downey, tells us that his ten years farming in the East, and twelve years of growing fruits in this region, have convinced him that, if the Southern California orchardists would give three-fourths of the attention to their orchards that the Eastern farmers do their grain fields, and then economize in managing their properties, the aggregate of profits from fruit culture would be unparalleled in the whole world. The Colonel has had a crop of English walnuts for four years from his ninety trees, and says he has never sold any crop for less than $920. He recently contracted to sell his crop of walnuts for exactly $1,050. He watches his trees as carefully as a merchant would his ledgers; he knows all about them; in fact, he makes a thorough business of fruit culture. The average proceeds from each walnut tree on his place this season is $11.60. The crop was not a very large one either. Then, too, the Colonel has 1,000 naval orange trees that have extraordinary care. His accurate account books, which he keeps to show how much his orchards cost and how well their products pay him, prove that the annual crop from these trees has for four years sold for sums varying from $3,200 to $4,350. Last year he got the last-named price. His four acres of prune trees yielded him $975 last year, $1,433 this year. Besides there are three acres of alfalfa, small fruits, vegetables, the barn and family residence. Now, here is still another practical illustration of what a twenty-acre farm will do in Southern California, under the management of an efficient, wide-awake man. The property yields annually a gross average of $5,968, or a net profit of $4,571. The net profit for the past six months has been about $6,200. We don't believe that one farmer in half a million east of the Rocky Mountains makes such profits from the soil of any hundred acres, nowadays. Harker's Harness. Shop. W. R.
