The freezing weather between January 14th and 20th was the worst the orange growers on the State ever experienced. The loss will fall mainly on the Northern merchant except where the freezing was hard enough to injure the trees. The crop, which was large one, had been mostly sold to merchants either in Eastern cities or Chicago and upon them the loss will fall. For this reason, and for the further on that the frozen fruit is yet to be disposed of the ordinary dealer is not disposed to magnify the extent of the damage. That it extensive, is evidenced by the fact that speculators have been quietly at work last week buying all the California orange available, but the California grower has stopped selling his crop for future delivery and the price of the fruit now in the market has scored a good advance. A month before Christmas all of the Northern markets were badly overstocked and prices were very low. This induced the trade in general to leave unusually large quantities of fruit on the trees and devote its attention to reducing the stock on hand. The result is that stocks of good fruit are small and the dealers is now confronted with the prospect of supplying his trade with poor Florida fruit or going into California at high prices. The foreign situation will afford no relief, a recent sleet storm having greatly damaged the Mediterranean crop. It can be readily seen that consumers of good oranges must this year expect to pay a good price. Lemons have also suffered from the cold weather. In Sicily a sleet storm recently left the fruit with a coating of ice, which did not destroy the fruit but greatly damaged its keeping qualities. This was a fortunate thing for the consumer, but unfortunate for the grower and speculator. The latter, under the stimulus which the World's Fair was expected to give the trade, anticipated boosting the price up from $11 to $12 a box. With the fruit delicent in keeping qualities the speculator is compelled to run the risk of shrinkage, which may cause him serious loss. The crops are, therefore, put on a supply-and-demand basis and will be handled by merchants for their consuming trade alone. The present wholesale price of good to choice lemons is from been recorded during the week: Stearns Ranchos Co. to Max Nebelung—N of NW of SE; sec. 13, T 4, R 11; $10.

Abbreviated: Said the widow (nendacious young Mrs.) "I really don't know what a kra." Her lover is hater. Put his arm around her waist! And said gently, "Why thirst." A Silly Operation: A dispatch from San Diego states that a rancher of tft region has planted a quarter section with mustard seed, and that it is "making surprising growth," though "the barley of an adjoining field has been checked." Presently we shall hear that this enterprising agriculturalist has planted a lot of phyllaxera among his vines, and that they too are making "surprising growth." The wild mustard of California has been one of the peats against which ranchers have had to contend. Only by strenuous, continuous and combined effort have they succeeded in eradicating it. Mustard will crowd out every other plant, and the seed by mixing with agricultural products renders them unfit for human or animal food. A few handsful of mustard seed scattered over a pasture field before a shower of rain will effectively cure cattle of a desire to browse. The mustard of commerce is grown in the East Indies and Russia; a very high grade of black and white mustard is grown in some of the eastern counties in England, where no other crops come to perfection. Wh wherever it gains a footing all other plants make way for it. As there is a steady demand for the seed for table and medicinal use, it pays in barren sections to devote to it farms which cannot be put to other use. But going to work deliberately to cultivate it in a region like San Diego is like planting a select collection of scales in a fruit orchard. The First Law of Nature: This self-preservation is acknowledged to be, and people who adopt against the encroaches of disease a genuine medicinal safe guard, accredited by experience and the sanction of physicians, afford a happy illustration of the wisdom of the saying in the health they restore and continue to enjoy. Among maladies, against the growth of which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters affords efficient protection, diseases of the kidneys and bladder are fraught with the utmost peril and exhibit great obstinacy when opposed by ordinary means. The Bitters can and will subdue them. Noctimonial is stronger than this. Used at the outset and persistently, the best results may be expected. This medicine also eradicates liver complaint, constipation, dyspepsia, malaria, rheumatism and nervousness. There are nineteen division bills before the Legislature. The Riverside bill, and possibly the San Antonio, with Pomona as the county seat, are thus far the only ones available to me. Demons have also suffered from the cold weather. In Sicily a select storm recently left the fruit with a coating of ice, which did not destroy the fruit but greatly damaged its keeping qualities. This was a fortunate thing for the consumer, but unfortunate for the grower and speculator. The latter, under the stimulus which the World's Fair was expected to give the trade, anticipated boosting the price up from $11 to $12 a box. With the fruit deficient in keeping qualities the speculator is compelled to run the risk of shrubage, which may cause him serious loss. The crops are therefore, put on a supply-and-demand basis and will be handled by merchants for their consuming trade alone. The present wholesale price of good to choice lemons is from $3.50 to $4 a box. A Million Friends: A friend in need is a friend indeed, and not less than one million people have found just such a friend in Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs, and Colds. If you have never used this Great Cough Medicine, one trial will convince you that it has wonderful curative powers in all diseases of Throat, Chest-and-Lungs. Each bottle is guaranteed to do all that is claimed or money will be refunded. Trial bottles free at W. M. Higgins' Drug store. Large bottles 50 cents and $1. Disorganization: Senator Carpenter has wisely called attention to the dangerous nature of the bill introduced by Carlson of San Diego to provide for the disorganization of irrigation districts organized under the Wright Act. The Senator from Los Angeles has shown that unless the conditions of disorganization be made exceedingly strict, it may become a very difficult matter to sell irrigation bonds, which even now are not readily disposed of. There seems to be need of some means of providing for disorganization, where for any sufficient cause the land-owners of an irrigation district find such a change desirable. But the law should provide that when irrigation bonds shall have been sold the disorganization of the district affected must not take place save under conditions that would afford ample protection to the bondholders. Todo otherwise would be to legislate for a few districts at the expense of many which have no desire to disorganize. If proper deliberation were exercised in the first place, districts would not be formed except on a lasting basis. In some instances, as in Colusa county, irrigation districts have been organized in advance of such a general understanding and appreciation of the value of irrigation as is needed to make organization a success. Irrigation works are of no use to people who do not understand the value of irrigation and who believe they are better off without it. Thus it appears that a great irrigation district in Colusa county, through the enterprise and pertinacity of Editor Green of the Colusa Sun, was organized and its works constructed or partly constructed in advance of an actual demand for water on the part of most of the land owners in the district. Now it is said they want to disorganize the district. This would be a step backward, of course, but the trouble is that Editor Green's stride has been too great for the wheat growers who compose the rural population of the district. They don't want to grow anything but grain, and are satisfied to raise that on the old plan of waiting for rain to fail. This is a case, says the Los Angeles Express, where one man led the march Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, when she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, when she had Children, she gave them Castoria. SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY TIME TABLE.

With the exception of the groves in the Indian River country, which will this year produce from 75,000 to 85,000 boxes, there Colusa county, through the enterprise and pertinacity of Editor Green of the Colusa Sun, was organized and its works constructed or partly constructed in advance of an actual demand for water on the part of most of the land owners in the district. Now it is said they want to disorganize the district. This would be a step backward, of course, but the trouble is that Editor Green's strid has been too great for the wheat growers who compose the rural population of the district. They don't want to grow anything but grain, and are satisfied to raise that on the old plan of waiting for rain to fall. This is a case, says the Los Angeles Express, where one man led the march of progress and struck such a gait as took him out of sight of the procession. But perhaps a little experience of the value of irrigation, in the way of object lessons, would serve to convince the Coluta silurians that irrigation is a vast improvement on the plains of the Sacramento valley, that are certainly more to be benefited by irrigation than those of Lombardy, which irrigation made the most fertile in the world.

The Assembly Committee on Irrigation has approved Senator Ostrom's joint resolution requesting the Governor to call an irrigation convention during the month of September. This is in pursuance of the precedent established last year by the Governor of Utah. Governor Markham will call the convention, which will be held in Los Angeles, and will invite the states and territories interested in irrigation to send delegates, and in accordance with a plan already devised, the invitation may be broadened so as to include all the countries of the world where irrigation is practiced. Such a convention as this could not fail to be of great and lasting benefit to California. Irrigationists from countries where JUARY 9, 1893. NUMBER 14 section that has escaped.

With the fruit delicent in as the speculator is compelled of shrinkage, which mayious crops are, on a supply-and-demand basis ruled by merchants for their alone. The present whole-to-choice leisure is from irrigation has been practiced for centuries can criticise our methods intelligently and point out the differences which exist between their systems and curs, and wherever they find anything to approve, as no doubt they will, they can have no hesitation in expressing their views. When the Italian and Australian and East Indian civil engineers come to see our canals and ditches, most of which are only trenches scraped out of the ground, they may doom them crude and insufficient as compared with their stone viaducts and masonry ditches, but when they are shown the work that our canals and ditches will do and the comparatively slight cost of their construction they will be forced to admit that our way is to say the least, good enough for its purpose. The approval of our irrigation system by such experts cannot fail to be of advantage to the districts created under the general irrigation laws of California. In many cases the irrigation bonds have failed to find immediate purchasers just for the lack of expert indorsement. If we can secure the attendance of irrigators from the countries where irrigation has been in existence for many years, and they express their approval of our system, no further indorsement will be needed. Mrs. Single of West Point, Calavera county has been a guest of Mrs. John Wright for a week. Mr. Jones of Texas has purchased ten acres of land on the corner of Grand and Canadian avenues and will soon put up a nice cottage and otherwise improve the property. Mr. and Mrs. D. Peebles, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford and Mrs. Poase picniked on Wagner's lake last week. Mr. Clifford will commence building very soon on property south of Mr. Wagner's and will have a fine rose garden. Last Wednesday was the occasion of several birthday celebrations. Mr. John Wright was surprised by the near neighbors and a merry evening was spent at his home on Grand avenue. the total amount of the bonds of the district issued before the presentation of such petition to said board exceeds one-half of the total assessed valuation of all the real property in the district according to the last assessment roll of the county before the organization of the district." When this amendment was submitted and adopted nearly all of the opposition ceased, and it was voted to report the bill as amended back to both houses and recommend its passage. The Colusa county contingent are as happy as irrigationists without irrigation can be, and the opponents of the bill in its original form are satisfied that in such districts as Poso and Alessandro the bondholders will be duly protected. In the Colusa district the value of the land without irrigation is ample security for the bonds. But in the Poso district, for instance, if the irrigation project should not be pushed to completion the value of the desert lands would be no sort of security for the bonds, and so was the bill by the same author providing for reducing the bonded indebtedness of districts which issue more bonds than they really require to complete their work. Amending the Wright Law. Among the several bills introduced in the Legislature to amend the Wright irrigation law the following Act (Assembly Bill No. 138) introduced by Mr. Carlson, of San Diego, has been favorably reported on by the committee: SECTION 1. Section seventeen of said act is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Said bonds, and the interest thereon, shall be paid by revenue derived from an annual assessment upon the real property of the district, and all the real property in the district shall be and remain liable to be assessed for such payments as hereinafter provided. And whenever said bonds have been sold, sold Million Friends.

Counter has wisely called dangerous nature of the bill Carlson of San Diego to pro-organization of irrigation under the Wright Act. Los Angeles has shown conditions of disorganiza- exceedingly strict, it may difficult matter to sell irri- which even now are not of. There seems to be no means of providing for disor- ration for any sufficient cause of an irrigation district find desirable. But the law that when irrigation bonds hold the disorganization of must not take place institutions that would afford to the bondholders. To do so to legislate for a few expense of many which have organize. Operation were exercised in districts would not be a lasting basis. In some Colusa county, irrigation organized in advance of understanding and appreciation of irrigation as is needed a success.

Mr. John Wright was surprised by the near neighbors and a merry evening was spent at his home on Grand avenue. Mrs. Hepburn of Centralia Hotel had a family gathering in honor of the birthday of her mother, Mrs. Baker of Santa Ana. An elaborate dinner was served at noon. The afternoon was spent in reminiscences and a general good time. The guests left for Santa Ana on the evening train with the wishes that many more years might be added to the advanced number already passed. A marriage was celebrated here two weeks ago which has taken from our midst one of the Park's favorite young ladies, to the regret of her many friends. Mr. George Thompson came to claim his bride, Miss Jeanette Bryden, and took back to his northern home in Manitoba. Heartfelt congratulations follow this happy couple to their new home.

The bustle and roar of preparation for launching upon an expectant world another weekly issue of the Spiketon Blizzard rang through the office of that paper, and the high intellectual brow of Mr. Mortimer Clungston, editor and proprietor of the same, was sicklied o'er with a pale cast of thought and a smudge of printer's ink. "Is the paper up, Rufus?" he asked of the young man who officited as foreman in the absence of the proprietor. "Almost," answered Rufus, "but not quite." "Have you run in that dead sewing-machine ad." "Yes, and the old Scientific American prospectus, with 1892 changed to 1893." And the column of magazine ads." "Yes, and slugged 'om all out to fill up the space. Everything's up except the editorial page." "Have you run in the double-leaded six lines about correspondents writing communications on one side of the paper only?" "Yes that's in." "I don't see the paragraph about the new supply of job type, latest style, just received," said Editor Clungston, leaning over the stones and inspecting the forms. "Got that in, too," said Rufus, "in tive or six places." "Got the item in about the paper winning golden opinions for itself?" "You bet." Where is the item about the considerable amount of money still outstanding on subscriptions and badly needed at this office? "That's at the top of the first column on the editorial page, leaded with pica slugs." "Um—yes, I see. Isn't there anything on the standing galley you can use?" "I've got everything in except the pi." "How much more do you need?" "About half or three-quarteres of a stickful." Then it was that Editor Clungston once more proved himself to be a journalist of resources. "I'll soon fix that," he exclaimed, the light of a sudden inspiration shining in his eye and irradiating his pale cheek; and he sat down and wrote the following: "Owing to an unexpected pressure on the advertising columns of the Blizzard, we are reluctantly compelled to crowd out a large quantity of interesting matter prepared expressly for this week's issue.

An action of peculiar interest came up for trial in the Superior Court one day last week. It was the case of Jacob Schwain against his daughter, Mrs. Emma Beville, and was brought to recover possession of a tract of fifty acres of land near Artesia. Mrs. Beville is a resident of San Francisco, and the property involved was deeded to her by her father in January, 1890. Schwain now claims that he was mentally incapable at the time he signed the deed, and did not understand the nature of the document, while Mrs. Beville says she has at divers times paid money for the support of her parents, and also paid a $500 mortgage on the farm. Alter hearing the evidence in the case, which was of a very conflicting character, the arguments of the attorneys are to be submitted on briefs. Mrs. Beville and her sister, who are not on friendly terms, were in court together, and took pains to show that very little sisterly love existed between them. The case has not yet been decided. The Irrigation Fight. The fight of the irrigationists against the antis over, so far as the Joint Committee of the Legislature is concerned. It ended in a compromise, and the leaders of both sides express themselves contented with the result. George H. Maxwell, representing the Central District of Colusa, which is in such sore need of a measure providing for its disorganization, and General H. I. Willey, representing large Bondholders who fear any easy scheme of disorganization would further discredit irrigation bonds, got together last Saturday and talked over a compromise, Neither side felt sure of its strength, and finally the Disorganization bill was amended by the insertion of a proviso calculated to prevent poorly arranged districts from shirking their obligations. The proviso relates to the petition for disincorporation and reads as follows: "Provided, that no districts shall take advantage of the provisions of this Act if How much more do you need? About half or three-quarters of a stickful." Then it was that Editor Clungston once more proved himself to be a journalist of resources. "I'll soon fix that," he exclaimed, the light of a sudden inspiration shining in his eye and irradiating his pale cheek; and he sat down and wrote the following: "Owing to an unexpected pressure on the advertising columns of the Blizzard, we are reluctantly compelled to crowd out a large quantity of interesting matter prepared expressly for this week's issue. This shall not happen again, even if we have to enlarge the Blizzard to meet the demands of the advertising department. In the future, as in the past, the Spiketown Blizzard will always be found ready to meet the expectations of a generous public, and to show forth in its own prosperity the thrift and enterprise of the growing young city in which it has cast its lot." "There," said Editor Clungston, wiping the perspiration from his forehead. "Set that up, slap the forms on the press and run off the regular 316 copies. It's time the subscribers were getting their news." Deserving Praise.
