Secretary Foster has issued the following circular from the Treasury Department at Washington: "By virtue of the authority conferred by law upon the Secretary of the Treasury, notis is hereby given that the principal and accemd interest of such of the 45-per-cent bonds issued under Acta of July 14, 1870, and January 20, 1871, as may be outstanding on the 2d day of September, 1851, will be paid at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, D.C., on that day, and the interest on said bonds will then cease. Suggestions have been made on the part of the holders of some of these bonds of a desire to extend the payment thereof at the option of the United States at the rate of l or 1½ per cent per annum, and the Secretary of the Treasury will" ANAHEIM DISTRICT. THE MOTHER OF THE COLONY SYTEM IN CALIFORNIA—ITS PROPPOSITION AMONG IRRIGATION DETRICTS OF THE STATE. The San Francisco Chronicle of Sunday, largely given up to a description of the irrigation districts of the State. The issue is splendid one of thirty-two pages, and shobe read and preserved by all friends of ingation. We take the following mention: our district from its columns: If there is any one district in the State which has a right to be proud of the showiwhich it makes, no matter from what stapoint the comparison be made, it is Anaheim. It used scarcely be said that this is district which was not organized for specitive purposes. It is almost thirty-five yeas since the colony of Anaheim was first satisted, and the place has long since been cosaded the proud title of the mother of t colony system of California. Here may found the vary some of what irrigation pforms in the increase of land values. Bongoriginally for the trifling sum of $2 an accer original colony lands of Anaheim owec scarcely be purchased now for a thousand times as much. Fortunes have been realizhere from no more than twenty acres land, coupled with diligence and an abunant supply of water, and fortunes are yeato be realized under the new order of thingby which water will be furnished to thousands of acres of hitherto "dry lands." While the old irrigation system of Anaheim has been productive of more wealth than one can credit, yet it became evident, the enterprising, progressive people thaunder the system established by the Writlaw it was capable of vast extension. Exanation showed that water could be bh sufficient to irrigate four times the pressiarea, and it was seen that the only thineeded was the co-operation of all partiinterested in order to quadruple the popu EVERY PARTICULAR.

Washington: By virtue of the authority conferred by law upon the Secretary of the Treasury, notice is hereby given that the principal and accrued interest of such of the 4½-per-cent bonds issued under Acts of July 14, 1870, and January 20, 1871, as may be outstanding on the 2d day of September, 1891, will be paid at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, D.C., on that day, and the interest on said bonds will then cease. Suggestions have been made on the part of the holders of some of these bonds of a desire to extend the payment thereof at the option of the United States at the rate of 1 or ½ per cent per annum, and the Secretary of the Treasury will hereafter consider whether the acceptance of such offers or any of them will be profitable to the Government, and in that event reserves the right to except such bonds from this call." It is officially stated that the suggestion as to the extension of the 4½ per cent bonds was added to the call made to-day by Secretary Foster more as a matter of prudence than necessity. The Treasury Department, it is stated by the same authority, is abundantly able to pay all of the $51,000,000 4½ per cent bonds outstanding, but in view of the uncertainty of the public receipts and expenditures, it is judged better to take the side of safety. Secretary Foster not only believes that he has simple means to defray all expenses of the Government, but he is confident that he will be able to retire a considerable amount of the public debt in addition to the $236,000,000 already paid during the present administration... One of the purposes, it is stated, of affording an opportunity for offers in regard to an extension of the 4½ per cent bonds is the desire to avoid the enforced retirement of a part or all of the national bank circulation secured by the bonds, amounting to $23,000,000. Bits of Information. California has 2,675 giant trees left. Americans are the greatest meat eaters. Great Britain has a debt per capita of $87.79. Victoria's crown jewels are worth $15,000,000. The total forest area of the United States is estimated at 841,764,598 acres. An English statistician estimates the world's indebtedness at $150,000,000,000. The United States has 637,000,000 gold coins, and only 411,005,000 of those are in circulation. There are about 2,800 counties in the Union, with an average size of about 1,000 square miles. The coast line of Alaska exceeds in length by 3,020 miles that of all the rest of the United States. The assessed value of property in California rose from $564,578,360 in 1880 to $1,112,000,000 in 1890. The word nicotine is derived from the name of John Nicot, who introduced tobacco into France. No monarchy has ever produced so many millionaires in so short a time as has the Republic of the United States. The product of gold in the United States last sixteen years has aggregated the enormous amount of $572,900,000. Statistics compiled by the Census Bureau show that the debt of the United States is now $14 63 per capita as against $38 33 in 1880. Medical statistics prove that it is less dangerous to life to go on an Arctic exploring expedition than to have an attack of pneumonia. There are now 19,373 newspapers of different classes in the United States and Canada. While the old irrigation system of Anahiem has been productive of more wealth than one can credit, yet it became evident that the enterprising, progressive people under the system established by the Wright law it was capable of vast extension. Examination showed that water could be sufficient to irrigate four times the pressure area, and it was seen that the only thing needed was the co-operation of all parties interested in order to quadruple the population and wealth of the district. In April, 1889, agitation upon the subject crystallized into the organization of the Anaheim Irrigation District, embracing some 32,500 acres of land, like of which fertility is not surpassed elsewhere in this State. The necessary steps having been taken, the sum of $600,000 in bonds was authorized to be issued for the purpose obtaining works and water rights and extending the irrigation system already in existence. After this had been done, the district went into court, and after a full examination of each step, the following decree was rendered: The petition of the Board of Directors for the Anaheim Irrigation District, praying among other things, that the proceedings said board in providing for and authorizing the issue and sale of the bonds of said district be examined, approved and confirmed by this court coming on regularly to hear it opened court on the 4th day of March 1890, Bransos Wilson & Lamme and J. Searbrough appearing for the petitions and Del Valle & Munday and S. M. White appearing for Vicente Yoris, and the hearing thereof was duly and regularly continued on order of said court until the 27th day March 1890, and on the last-named days cause duly and regularly came on in open court for trial upon the petition aforesaid and the answer thereto of Vicente Yoris said partition appearing by their respective counsel, and oral and documentary evidence was introduced and caused was further regularly continued by order of this court until the 2d day of April 1890, on which last mentioned days said cause was argued and duly submitted to this court for the decision and determination, and the court having examined the pleadings and evidences taken and introduced as aforesaid, and due considered the same, and being fully advised in the premises, and it appearing to take action of the court that the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District duly filed in this court a petition under an act in pursuance with the provisions of an act regarding its legal statute of this State, approving March 16, 1889, entitled "An act supplemental to an act entitled 'An act to provide for the organization and government of irrigation districts,' and to provide for the acquisition of water and other property, and for distribution of water thereby for irrigation purposes," approved March 7, 1887, and provide for the examination, approval and confirmation of proceedings for the issue and sale of bonds issued under the provisions said act. That said petition, among other things stated fact showing the proceedings had for the issue and sale of the bonds of said district, and stated generally that said irrigation district was duly organized and that first Board of Directors thereof was duly elected, and that thereupon this court fixes a time for the hearing of said petition; wit Monday. The 4th day of March, 1890, 10 A.M. of that day, and ordered that No monarchy has ever produced so many millionaires in so short a time as has the Republic of the United States. The product of gold in the United States the last sixteen years has aggregated the enormous amount of $572,900,000. Statistics compiled by the Census Bureau show that the debt of the United States is now $14,63 per capita as against $38,33 in 1880. Medical statistics prove that it is less dangerous to life to go on an Arctic exploring expedition than to have an attack of pneumonia. There are now 19,373 newspapers of different classes in the United States and Canada, not gain of 1,613 over last year's record. After a time sheep may be useful only for mutton. Wool, the chemists say, can be made more cheaply from wood fiber than it can be grown on sheep. It is estimated that the wealth of the United States now exceeds the wealth of the whole world at any period prior to the middle of the eighteenth century. Statistics show that 560,000,000 of the human race wear clothing, 260,000,000 habitually go without clothes, and 700,000,000 only cover portions of the body. There are 16,000 acres of land in the city of Berlin, and less than half are occupied by buildings. There is an average of fifty-five persons to cash house in the city. Don't wager that ten 10 cent pieces weigh as much as a silver dollar. They do not. The superintendent of the Munt says they only weigh nine-tenths as much. The first census in the United States was taken in 1790, a year after the foundation of the Government under the Constitution, when the aggregate population was 3,929,214. When the mosque of St. Sophia, in Constantinople was built, more than a thousand years ago, the stones and brick were laid in mortar mixed with a solution of musk, and the building has been fragrant with the odor ever since. The Census Bureau has issued a statement of the debt of nations, which shows that the total indebtedness of foreign nations is over $25,000,000,000, that of the United States $915,000,000, and all of the States and Territories $223,000,000.

JUNE 11, 1891. EIM DISTRICT. BER OF THE COLONY SYSCALIFORNIA—ITS PROUD AMONG IRRIGATION DISOF THE STATE. San Francisco Chronicle of Sunday is up to a description of the irrision of the State. The issue is a of thirty-two pages, and should be preserved by all friends of irrision make the following mention of its columns: any one district in the State right to be proud of the showing, no matter from what standupon be made, it is Anased scarcely be said that this is a was not organized for speculation. It is almost thirty-five years any of Anaheim was first setplace has long since been concluded title of the mother of the of California. Here may be some of what irrigation permisessease of land values. Bought the trifling sum of $2 an acre, colony lands of Anaheim can be purchased now for a thousand Fortunes have been realized more than twenty acres of with diligence'and an abundance water, and fortunes are yet under the new order of things, war will be furnished to thouhitherto 'dry lands." Id irrigation system of Ananion productive of more wealth credit, yet it became evident to ing, progressive people that them established by the Wright table of vast extension. Examined that water could be had irrigate four times the present was seen that the only thing the co-operation of all parties can do quadruple the population that all the proceedings of said district in said matter have been taken in conformity with law, and this court having duly made and filed herein its findings of fact and conclusions of law thereon and ordered that a judgment and decree be entered herein in accordance therewith. Now, therefore, by reason of the law in the premises and the findings of fact and conclusions of law as aforesaid, it is hereby ordered, adjudged and decreed by the court that all of the proceedings for the organization of said Anaheim Irrigation District and of the Board of Directors thereof, and all the proceedings of said district providing for and authorizing the issue and sale of bonds of said district be, and they are, hereby approved and confirmed. Done in open court this 18th day of April, 1890. J. W. TOWNER, Judge of the Superior Court. Thereafter, on June 5, 1890, a motion for a new trial having been previously made was denied; that no appeal has ever been taken from the order denying the motion for new trial or from the judgment and no other or further proceedings have been taken therein. Section 6 of the Act of the Legislature of this State approved March 15, 1889, last above mentioned, reads as follows: "Sec. 6. An appeal from an order granting or refusing a new trial, or from the judgment, must be taken by the party aggrieved within ten days after the entry of such order or judgment." It will be observed, therefore, that the findings and decree above mentioned became final on the 16th day of June, 1890. There are several decisions of the Supreme Court of this State bearing upon the various questions arising under the foregoing acts, among them being that of Irr. Dist. vs. De Lappe, 79 Id., 352, where the entire act is considered and sustained. This last decision covers almost every point which can properly arise under the provisions of the act. It is very difficult to determine what are the actual resources of the Anaheim Irrigation District, owing to the fact that there is such a difference in the value of the land situated therein, occasioned by the presence abundance of facilities for irrigation much connected with the Commissionary Department of the United States Army, as a food article of the California French prune has no equal, for he said in speaking of the Oregon prune that it consisted "first of skin, fibre and seed, whereas the California grown prune embodied first skin, then food and seed." As a guide to those intending to plant the various kinds of prunes introduced from Europe might be enumerated as follows: Patite D'Agen, most desirable for drying and some used for canning; Robe de Sargent, recently introduced, probably ranks next to the Petite as a drying variety but more acid, and having the fault of holding too firmly to the tree, and as it will not grow on the almond or peach root but only on plum; it has been found hard to adapt it to dry soils; the principal value of the Hungarian prune is to ship in the green state to Eastern markets, as it is very large and showy; Bulgarian, of good size but more acid than the French and used for drying; Fellenburg, or Italian of Oregon, closely resembles the foregoing. In addition to these there have been grown from seed in Oregon the Silver prune, a large common-grown more of a plum than a prune, and better for canning and market purposes than as a dryer; while California adds to the list the Tragedy prune; this more closely resembles the type of German and Italian prune, but is more acid than the French, and is principally valuable in the extreme early localities of Northern California as an early shipping fruit, for it ripens with the Royal Haitive plum, but has not the body and superior drying qualities of the French prune. It is doubtful if in prunes we shall be able to improve upon the kings offered us by the French with their experience and long list of varieties to choose from.—Rural Californian. Irrigation Hands. There has been a bitter opposition shown in certain quarters to the district system of supplying water for irrigation purposes. This opposition took on the form of opposition to the sale of the bonds of the several districts, and capitalists were warned in many mysterious ways to look out for them. Even after four decisions of the Supreme Court sustaining in every particular the validity of the bonds this was kept up. The bankers of San Francisco, under their influence sent replies to inquiry from the East and from more than twenty acres of water, and fortunes are yet under the new order of things, nor will be furnished to thou-forth hitherto "dry lands." Irrigation district of Anaheim productive of more wealth credit, yet it became evident to bring, progressive people that them established by the Wrightable of vast extension. Examined that water could be had irrigate four times the present was seen that the only thing the cooperation of all parties order to quadruple the population of the district. Agitation upon the subject into the organization of the District, embracing some land, the like of which for surpassed elsewhere in the necessary steps having been in $600,000 in bends were issued for the purpose of water rights and ex-irrigation system already in existence this had been done, the dis-credit, and after a full examin- step, the following decree of the Board of Directors of Irrigation District, praying, things, that the proceedings of providing for and authorizing sale of the bonds of said dis-credit, approved and confirmed coming on regularly to be court on the 4th day of March, Wilson & Lamme and J. S. appearing for the petitioners, & Munday and S. M. White Vicente Yorba, and the hearing fully and regularly continued by court until the 27th day of April on the last-named day said and regularly came on in open upon the petition aforesaid, or thereto of Vicente Yorba, appearing by their respective visual and documentary evidence and cause was further reg-istered by order of this court until April, 1890, on which last men-cause was argued and duly admitted to this court for the de-determination, and the court hav- so produced as aforesaid, and duly name, and being fully advised and it appearing to the satis- tion court that the Board of Di-naheim Irrigation District is court a petition under and with the provisions of an act of this State, approved entitled "An act supplemented" An act to provide information and government of irriga-tion to provide for the acquisition and other property, and for the water thereby for irrigation moved March 7, 1887, and to the examination, approval and procedures for the issue and issued under the provisions of petition, among other things, is showing the proceedings had sold of the bonds of said dis-credit generally that the said irri-gation was duly organized and that of Directors thereof was duly that thereupon this court fixed in hearing of said petition, to the 4th day of March, 1890, at day, and ordered that the final on the 16th day of June, 1890. There are several decisions of the Supreme Court of this State bearing upon the various questions arising under the foregoing acts, among them being that of Irr. Dist. vs. De Lappe, 79 Id., 352, where the entire act is considered and sustained. This last decision covers almost every point which can properly arise under the provisions of the act. It is very difficult to determine what are the actual resources of the Anaheim Irrigation District, owing to the fact that there is such a difference in the value of the land situated therein, occasioned by the presence or absence of facilities for irrigation, much of which will be obviated when the system of irrigation now under consideration by the Board of Directors shall have been perfected. The real property alone is subject to assessment for the payment of these bonds. This comprises 33,000 acres of land, and includes within its boundaries the city of Anaheim and the flourishing village of Fullerton. There are upward of 3,000 inhabitants now within the district. The real property was assessed upon the last assessment roll at $1,600,000, which was considered at the time to be 33 per cent of its real value. About fifty per cent thereof is now improved, and exclusive of the city of Anaheim and village of Fullerton is chiefly devoted to raising oranges, walnuts, apricots and peaches, and is valued from $150 to $750 per acre. The greater portion of the unimproved land will be especially susceptible of improvement upon the adoption and completion of the system of irrigation now determined upon by the Board of Directors of this district. There is at present embraced within its boundaries twenty-five miles of distributive ditches, all of which it is proposed to condemn and acquire under the provisions of said act by means of the funds derived from the sale of these bonds. The latest step in the operation of the district was taken on April 18th, when the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company adopted the following resolution by an overwhelming majority: Whereas A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company, held on April 18, 1891, the following resolution was duly adopted as a basis of settlement, to wit: "That when the Anaheim Irrigation District shall have expended the sum of $100,000 in improvements in accordance with the plans of the engineer, now on file, then the Anaheim Union Water Company will accept $150,000 in cash, or its equivalent in bonds, subject to the approval of the stockholders provided. The Anaheim Irrigation District proceed to carry out this agreement within one year from the date of ratification by the stockholders," and, Whereas We deem it for the best interests of said Anaheim Irrigation Union Water Company that the proposal in said resolution contained be fully carried out; now therefore, be it Resolved That we hereby ratify and confirm the action of said Board of Directors in adopting said resolution, and hereby authorize and direct them, as far as we may legally do, to enter into any and all agreements with the Anaheim Irrigation District or the officers thereof to carry out in letter and spirit the resolution aforesaid, and to make execute and deliver all deeds, contracts and agreements necessary to convey all the property of said company to said district. What basis the bonds of this district stand upon may be seen from the fact that the canal system purchased for $150,000 has actually had expended upon it at least three times that sum, while by the average ontlay to improve upon the kindies offered us by the Frenoh with their experience and long list of varieties to choose from.—Rural California. Irrigation Hands There has been a bitter opposition shown in certain quarters to the district system of supplying water for irrigation purposes. This opposition took on the form of opposition to sale of the bonds of several districts, and capitalists were warned in many mysterious ways to look out for them. Even after four decisions of the Supreme Court sustaining in every particular the validity of the bonds this was kept up. The bankers of San Francisco, under their influence sent replies to inquiries from East and from Europe that threw disseredit upon them. It therefore became necessarily to begin a vigorous fight in San Francisco against this opposition. This has been going on for some six weeks, and has resulted in a complete victory for the districts. Representatives of the irrigationists met with the Chamber of Commerce, and throw down the challenge to allthe world come in and show wherein they were weak. Then The Produce Exchange took it up, and like the Chamber of Commerce decided that the case was a good one. It went then to a meeting of the bankers wherethe results were good. The San Francisco Clearing-House took it up andthe discussions andthe conclusions were allofthe most friendly sort. Results must follow later on. There is no patriotism in money; one will now wait for another start buta start all that is necessary. It is now universally admitted thatthe district systemis correct one,and that districts issuing bonds in strict compliance withthe law,and having a sufficient valuationof property ought to have no trouble in placing bonds.Answers to inquiries will be different now from what they have been.San Francisco has never cared muchfor anything offthe peninsula onwhichitis situatedbutthereisnowa sentiment therein favorofthese irrigation districts broader thanhas ever before been felt foranythingnotonthepeninsula.Theworkthenofthelastfewweekshasthereforebeenfullofgood.

Prunes are properly a drying fruit, and our experiments in California thus far have not indicated any variety of prune or plum as being equal to the Petite D'Agen for this purpose, first introduced at San Jose over 20 years ago by Frenchmen, who imported them directly from their native county. It has from there found its way to about every county in the State. In extreme early localities in Northern California some other plums and prunes are planted for shipment to Eastern markets in a green state; as well as for canning, drying and the local markets; but of all these none are strictly speaking a first class drying prune. In planting prunes certain very desirable points should not be overlooked. A prune that is first of all a good grower, producing a fruit that does not elongate to the tree with too much tenacity at the stem (for it must be remembered that with us, and as we do things in California, the prune crop is quickly and cheaply harvested by being shaken from the tree upon sheets spread underneath) bearing enough of saccharine matter not require the addition of any sugar at all in its preparation for the table, and of just the desirable size. It is not strange that our California growers have found the prune a most desirable variety, and that it should have been pronounced by experts as the very finest and best prune produced in any country under the sun. Upon the authority of Colonel Hawkins, now, therefore, be it Resolved. That we hereby ratify and confirm the action of said Board of Directors in adopting said resolution, and hereby authorize and direct them, as far as we may legally do, to enter into any and all agreements with the Anaheim Irrigation District or the officers thereof to carry out in letter and spirit the resolution aforesaid, and to make, execute and deliver all deeds, contracts and agreements necessary to convey all the property of said company to said district. What basis the bonds of this district stand upon may be seen from the fact that the canal system purchased for $150,000 has actually had expended upon it at least three times that sum, while by the average outlay of $18 46 an acre (the cost of supplying the whole 32,500 acres with water) the value of the present irrigated lands will be increased at least 400 per cent. The improved lands in the district are now yielding annual income of $100 to $500 per acre, and the unimproved lands will soon be in a similar condition. What better security there could be for the payment of interest and the redemption of the bonds it would be difficult to imagine. The Prune for Profit.
