State Board of Horticulture shows that the striking difference of gain in population in the different counties agrees most romarkably with the extent to which irrigation is practiced. The total gain of California in the last census was unequally distributed. Separating the counties into groups, the first is those that rely wholly or largely on irrigation. Those are Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, Merced, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego and Tulare. The second group, or counties that rely partly on irrigation, are Inyo, Lake, Lassen, Monterey, Placer, Sacramento, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Stanislaws, Sutter, San Juaquin, Tehama, Ventura, and Yolo. The third group, or non-irrigating counties, are Alameda, Alpine, Colusa, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Marin, Mendocino, Modoc, Napa, San Mateo, Siiskiyou, Solano and Sonoma. The other counties, except San Francisco, are classed together as mining counties. The classification is not exact, but it will serve to point out some important facts. The first three classes gained in population while the fourth class lost. The first, or irrigating group, increased from 81,801 in 1880 to 250,020 in 1890 or a gain of 168,219. The second, or partly irrigated group, increased from 218,765 to 283,416, a gain of 64,651. The third, or non-irrigating group, increased from 211,165 to 282,330, a gain of 71,165. Nearly half the gain of this group was in Alameda. It would be far from correct says an upcountry exchange, to attribute the difference shown to the single cause of irrigation. Several factors must be considered to account properly for the greater increase of population and property in the south. A competing railroad, enterprising capitalists, good methods of advertising to attract immigrants must not be left out of sight. But it is undoubtedly true that a good irrigation system is a most powerful advantage to any section.

To Remodel the Pension Laws. The Democratic members of the House subcommittee on appropriations have adopted amendments changing the pension law of 1890.The following are the principal changes:That no widow shall receive a pension of the Act of 1890 unless she was married to the soldier prior to 1870;that no person shall receive a pension under the act of 1890 unless he was disabled in the service so as to prevent him doing manual labor,and in receipt of income of less than $600 per year;and that no non resident of the United States shall receive a pension unless actually disabled in the service.Another amendment provides for the appointment of a commission to consider necessary modifications in the pension laws and report at the next Congress.They were adopted by a vote of 3 to 2—the Democratic members voting yes,and the Republican may.A fight against the amendment will be carried by the Republican members into the full Committee on Appropriationswhich has yet to act on the bill.Is said to be likely that some Democratic members in full committee will vote against their associates of the sub committee If the amendments get out of the committee a lively fight in the house is certain.The bill.as framed by a majority of the A MILLION FRIENDS.

The domestic sugar industry long enjoyed a protective tariff in the United States, but did not develop, because little was done in a really practical way to promote beet sugar. Cane was considered as adapted to only a limited area, and for twenty years the government's efforts were nearly all in the direction of sorghum. The tariff of 1883 imposed a duty of 12-5 cents per pound on raw sugar (previously it was 17-8 to 21-13-16 cents), which the Mills bill proposed to make 13-20 cents, but the McKinley tariff put such sugar on the free list, and offered a bounty of two cents per pound on all sugar produced in the United States up to July 1, 1905. The McKinley bill retained the old duty on refined sugar, so that domestic refineries might be protected in refining the raw sugar admitted free. The Harter bill, now before the House of Representatives, repeals the bounty, and imposes a duty of half a cent per pound on all grades. This would substitute imports of refined sugar for much of the raw sugar now admitted free, leaving for domestic sugar but little protection, besides closing the refineries and turning their profits into the national treasury. Canada admits raw sugar free, but protects the refineries, and encourages domestic production with a bounty. The enormous development of the beet sugar industry in Europe has been aided by the universal system of government bounty, or other method of encouragement. At present the French system affords a bounty of one to one and one-half cents per pound, Germany's is less, Russia offers an export bounty of one and three-fourths cents, and other European countries pay indirect bounties through the internal revenue laws and drawbacks on exports. While the system is universal, it is not uniform, and an international effort in 1887-8 to make it uniform or to abolish all encouragement to sugar failed. Its advocates claimed that beet sugar was now able to stand alone in Europe; if not, that people should buy their sugar from the tropics, where it was more cheaply produced. IRRIGATION AND POPULATION. A paper recently read before the State Board of Trade by the Secretary of the service. Another amendment provides for the appointment of a commission to consider necessary modifications in the pension laws and report at the next Congress. They were adopted by a vote of 3 to 2—the Democratic members voting yes, and the Republicans nay. A fight against the amendment will be carried by the Republican members into the full Committee on Appropriations, which has yet to act on the bill. It is said to be likely that some Democratic members in full committee will vote against their associates of the subcommittee. If the amendments get out of the committee a lively fight in the house is certain. The bill, as framed by a majority of the sub-committee, also does away with pension agencies throughout the country and provides for the payment of pensions by checks directly from the Treasury Department; abolishes examinations of applicants by surgeons and provides for the appointment of 150 special examiners to hereafter make examinations. Congressman O'Neal of Massachusetts speaking for a majority of the members and the reasons for making the proposed changes, said: "There is no disposition on the part of the majority of this House to take the pension away from the man who deserves it, or from any man who became disabled while in the Union Army. The country wants the pension list reduced, but it does not want a single worthy pensioner stricken from the rolls. It seems to the committee that certain persons are entitled to pensions, but it should stop there." Mr. Grout of Vermont, one of the two Republican members of the subcommittee, said: "The Republican minority is against the amendments, and will oppose them in full committee in the House."

Five daily papers will be printed on the World's Fair grounds during the exposition. The arrangements for issuing them will soon be completed by Chief Robinson of the machinery section. It is already settled that Machinery Hall, which cost $1,250,000, will serve as a press room for these daily papers, and they will be printed from the finest and fastest presses ever built in this country. These presses have been secured as part of the exhibit in Machinery Hall and during the fair they will be used to get out one morning and four evening papers. For those who have never staid down JANY 2, 1893. DISORGANIZATION. A BILL INTRODUCED IN THE LEGISLATURE FOR THE DISORGANIZATION OF IRRIGATION DISTRICTS. The Joint Committee on Irrigation, at its meeting in Sacramento last week, discussed several important measures affecting irrigation and the Wright Act. The bill introduced by Assemblyman Carlson of San Diego relative to the disorganization was on motion of Assemblyman Mordecai of Fresno and Attorney Waters, representing San Joaquin landowners, amended so that disorganization may be effected by fifty petitioners or by a majority of the district, providing the question of disorganization shall not be submitted to the people oftener than once in a year, the proceeds of the sale of district property to revert to property owners. Assemblyman Vann of Colusa was present with a number of his constituents from Colusa and Glenn counties and explained his bill. He said his district wished to disorganize, and held that a majority and not a two-thirds vote, as under the Wright law, should suffice. Four or five thousand dollars worth of bonds had been issued by the district, and it is provided that the Directors shall continue in business until the affairs of the district are wound up. Attorney Maxwell announced that he and Mr. Long, who is one of the Democratic Presidential electors, had drawn up a substitute bill which was designed to be a general act and not in the interests of any one section. He explained the provisions of the measure, which are summarized as follows: Special elections on the question of disorganization may be held on majority petitions. All indebtedness of the district to be paid by the Directors, except outstanding bonds not due; if there are no outstanding debts, they will be paid. Agriculture shows that the gain in population in the stateally distributed Separate into groups, the first is highly or largely on irrigation, Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, or counties that rely on Irayo, Lake, Lassen, Sacramento, San Bonito, Santa Barbara, Santa Shasta, Stanislaus, Sutthama, Ventura, and group or non-irrigating Alamoda, Alpine, Coloma, Del Norte, Humboldt, Mono, Modoc, Napa, San Kalano and Sonoma. Except San Francisco, other as mining counties, as not exact, but it will some important facts. Classes gained in popular north class lost. Irrigating group, increased 800 to 250,020 in 1890. Partly irrigated group, increased 650 to 283,416, a gain of non-irrigating group, increased 650 to 282,330, a gain of half the gain of this group from correct, says an up-to-date attribute the differing single cause of irrigation. It be considered to account for the greater increase of property in the south. Enterprise capitalists advertising to attract imbecile left out of sight. But true that a good irrigating powerful advantage to any insurance against town late enough to see a big paper printed this exhibit still possess a decided interest. Such a paper as will be printed in the morning hours has never been seen in this or any other country. The first two pages are to contain the official announcements of the day, such as programmes of concerts in festival and choral halls, programmes of the band concerts and all the official bulletins that Director-General Davis may issue. The complete roster of exposition officials, with the location of their offices, will also be printed for the information of those having business with the managers. It is not expected that these pages will contain news matter. These features of the are decidedly commonplace and uninteresting to most of the visitors. The succeeding six pages are unique in that each of the six morning dailies of Chicago will contribute one page. These pages will be furnished in the form of stereotyped plates, ready to be fastened on the press. The plates will be sent to Jackson Park after the regular editions up town have been run off. It is expected that care will be taken to avoid a duplicate of news matter, so that a person who secures a copy of the Exposition Bulletin will get practically all the news of the day, as no advertisements will appear in the sheet. The plans of the evening papers are different. They expect to send their stereotyped plates to Machinery Hall, and run off complete editions of their own publications. These papers can be sold on the ground nearly half an hour earlier that the editions up town could be brought to the park. Great Fortunes Of To-Day. The death of Jay Gould sends down to his posterity one of the greatest fortunes in the world. Whether its amount be $60,000,-000,$78,000,000 or $100,000,000, as the varying guesses are, it is exceeded in magnitude by only two or three or perhaps half a dozen of the large estates in existence. It is distinguished from these by being wholly the accumulation of a single individual. A bill introduced in the Legislature for the Disorganization of Irrigation Districts. The Joint Committee on Irrigation, at its meeting in Sacramento last week, discussed several important measures affecting irrigation and the Wright Act. The bill introduced by Assemblyman Carlson of San Diego relative to the disorganization was on motion of Assemblyman Mordecai of Fresno and Attorney Waters, representing San Joaquin landowners, amended so that disorganization may be effected by fifty petitioners or by a majority of the district, providing the question of disorganization shall not be submitted to the people oftener than once in a year, the proceeds of the sale of district property to revert to property owners. Assemblyman Vann of Colusa was present with a number of his constituents from Colusa and Glenn counties and explained his bill.

Four or five thousand dollars worth of bonds had been issued by the district, and it is provided that the Directors shall continue in business until the affairs of the district are wound up. Attorney Maxwell announced that he and Mr. Long, who is one of the Democratic Presidential electors, had drawn up a substitute bill which was designed to be a general act and not in the interests of any one section. He explained the provisions of the measure, which are summarized as follows: Special elections on the question of disorganization may be held on majority petitions. All indebtedness of the district to be paid by the Directors, except outstanding bonds not due; if there are no outstanding debts, they will be paid. Great Fortunes of To-Day. The death of Jay Gould sends down to his posterity one of the greatest fortunes in the world. Whether its amount be $60,000,000, $78,000,000 or $100,000,000, as the varying guesses are, it is exceeded in magnitude by only two or three or perhaps half a dozen of the large estates in existence. It is distinguished from these by being wholly the accumulation of a single individual during a life which was comparatively short. The Astor fortune is now held by the descendants of its founder in the fourth generation. Its beginning dates back nearly a century, and during all that time it has been increasing steadily. The grandchildren of Commodore Vanderbilt have received by direct inheritance the vast estate left by him, and in each successive generation its volume has become greater. Its beginning was in the early days of the century. When Mr. Gould was born, in 1836, Commodore Vanderbilt was already a rich man. The original John Jacob Astor lived to the great age of eighty-three years. Mr. Gould died in his fifty-seventh year, a comparatively young man. All that he leaves was gathered by himself alone in the short period of about thirty years, yet he has transmitted to his children a fortune ranking next only to the Astor and Vanderbilt estates, though both of them were among the greatest in the world long before he had begun his accumulation. The old theory in this country was that a fortune made in one generation would not last beyond the second or third generation, but would be scattered or dissipated, curring the heirs rather than blessing them; and oftentimes, if not usually, this idea was sustained in practice. But the great catches of these days, representing millions where the others represented thousands, became self-perpetuating by reason of their very magnitudes. Their incomes alone are as great as the principal of the fortunes of the earlier time, and are large enough to permit every folly and extravagance in those who enjoy them, so that the temptation to impair the capital is no longer so active. They breed rather the disposition to preserve the goose which lays so rich a golden egg. They take on the character of an enduring institution which commands the best financial ability in its management, and this character is stamped upon them by successful testamentary restraints. Not a single one of the many great fortunes inherited in recent years in this country has been dissipated or is in the way of dissipation. Dereelicts at Sea. The two greatest dangers at sea for navigators, irrespective of storms, which, as a rule, can be guarded against, are collisions with others vessels and derelicits floating at random on the broad ocean. The chance of collisions between steamers plying from the ports of New York and Boston and European ports has been greatly reduced, if not almost entirely obliterated, by the adoption of ocean lanes, promoted and carried forward by the Hydrographic Office of the Navy Department at Washington. All transatlantic steamers on the foregoing routes now strictly confine themselves to these ocean lanes, which are after leaving port, nearly fifty miles apart, thereby rendering it almost impossible for steamers going in opposite directions to come together. Four or five thousand dollars worth of bonds had been issued by the district, and it is provided that the Directors shall continue in business until the affairs of the district are wound up. Attorney Maxwell announced that he and Mr. Long, who is one of the Democratic Presidential electors, had drawn up a substitute bill which was designed to be a general act and not in the interests of any one section. He explained the provisions of the measure, which are summarized as follows: Special elections on the question of disorganization may be held on majority petitions. All indebtedness of the district to be paid by the Directors, excepting outstanding bonds not due; if there are no outstanding bonds all money remaining is to go to the school fund of the district, the Board of Supervisors to succeed to the powers of the Board of Directors for the purpose of levying and collecting taxes to pay the interest and principal of outstanding bonds; if the Supervisors fail to levy the tax, the bonds may be filed with the State Controller, and the State Board of Equalization shall levy the tax as in the case of school district bonds. Senator Carpenter of Los Angeles said that there were a large amount of irrigation bonds on the market, and he thought the committee had better consider carefully the proposition to make disorganization easier. Capital is always a coward and if it went out to them that the irrigation districts could disorganize at any time, if a few individuals chose such a course, it would be the end of the sale of bonds and the end of irrigation systems in California. While districts owe money they should not be allowed to disorganize. Senator Ostrom went further, and said that disorganization under indebtedness cast a cloud on titles. He thought the substitute measure, however, preferable to any he had seen, and moved this bill be substituted for all the measures before the committee. Mr. Wright, author of the Wright law, thought if the districts find they cannot carry out their objects they could not do better than disorganize. He indorsed however, Senator Carpenter's views, and said the Central District has the matter within its control, and may elect Directors who would see that all the indebtedness is paid off before anything else is done. He thought it possible to pass special measures affecting only such districts as desired to disincorporeate. He objected also to turning over the tax levies to the Supervisors as probably unconstitutional. Mr. Long said people he represented were not opposed to the Wright law, but desired to rectify mistakes which had arisen. He pictured his section, which he said was at a standstill and could neither go forward or backward under the present conditions. Disincorporation is a necessity. Mr. Sutton of Culus said ruin was staring the Central district in the face. The immense irrigation system which they had undertaken was impracticable. Attorney Johnson, for the Central Irrigation District, claimed nobody had been injured by the sale of the bonds of that district. Repudiation was not an honest method, and repudiation was all there was to this opposition to the Wright law. Chairman Hulett of the Board of Supervisors of Glenn county thought if the bonds of the irrigation system could be sold the district would not care to disorganize. The matter went over until another meeting of the committee. A Sure Curse for Piles. Itching piles are known by moisture like perspiration causing intense itching when warm.

For never staid down rule, can be guarded against, are collisions with others vessels and derelictes floating at random on the broad ocean. The chance of collisions between steamers plying from the ports of New York and Boston and European ports has been greatly reduced, if not almost entirely obliterated, by the adoption of ocean lanes, promoted and carried forward by the Hydrographic Office of the Navy Department at Washington. All transatlantic steamers on the foregoing routes now strictly confine themselves to those ocean lanes, which are, after leaving port, nearly fifty miles apart, thereby rendering it almost impossible for steamers going in opposite directions to come together. But the subject of derelicts has not as yet been so effectually dealt with. Although very few in number compared to vessels under control, yet each one of these derelicts is much greater danger to a seagoing vessel than another manned vessel can be, owing to the fast that they carry no lights, are absolutely without control, and in many cases of sufficient bulk and weight to sink the largest steamers, in case they should be collided with. This may especially be said of water-logged, lumber-laden vessels. The pilot chart issued by the Hydrographic Office at Washington gives the track as well as the latest known position of every derelict that is reported by seagoing vessels, and in that way a great deal of the danger is avoided; yet the only sure remedy against these obstructions on the ocean is their destruction. The great number of them which are sighted by vessels at sea during the daytime is an indication of how many vessels pass very close to destruction at night without being aware of their danger. According to the pilot chart just issued for the month of January, 1893, no less than eight wrecked and water-logged vessels are at present floating in the direct lanes plied by steamers. Although vessels are wrecked in all parts of the world, many of which are abandoned without being destroyed, yet the most dangerous of them are those wrecked near our own coast. Owing to the Gulf Stream and prevailing winds they drift northward and then eastward, and right into the tracts of many vessels. Recently the ship Fred B. Taylor was cut in two by a steamer, and each subdivision became a dangerous obstruction to navigation. One portion drifted ashore on the coast of Maine and the other on the coast of New Jersey. It is not uncommon for a wreck to be sighted by at least twenty vessels, and one, the Wyer G. Sargent, with a cargo of mahogony, has been drifting since March, 1891, and has been reported thirty times.
