The town has continued during the week to wax fat on the penalties accruing by virtue of the incomplete electric light and water works contracts, and this morning the comfortable amount of $1225 is due the municipality through the forfeiture clause inserted with a fine sense of wisdom in those contracts. The penalty for non-fulfillment of the electric light contract began July 12th, and at the rate of $25 per diem, amounts to-day to $575. The penalty for non-fulfillment of the water works contract began on July 9th, and up to today, at $25 per diem, it amounts to $650, a total forfeiture to the city amounting to $1225. If we add to this amount the $500 which the contractors have lost on the wellpit, we shall have the comfortable amount of $1725 accruing to the city, and the good work continues to go on at the rate of $50 per day. The electric lights were started up for the initial test on Tuesday evening, and seemed to work all right, barring the defects in the machinery already pointed out. What will be the ultimate outcome of the placing in position of the engine already referred to in these columns, as having been said to be defective, it is not easy to say. The City Trustees object to it as not being the engine ordered. Much criticism is also to be leveled against the incompleted state of the water works. All the water works improvements—such as the sinking of the wells, laying of mains and making the service connections—it should be said, are already complete; but the unfinished wellpit, in which there is this morning probably five feet of water, retards the completion of the work; and when the pit will be completed, is past finding out. If we are to believe current rumors, the pit contractors consider their work complete—that they are not required by the contract to make the flooring of the pit water tight; in With the shipments of yesterday the total tonnage of beets forwarded from the three shipping points of Anaheim, Buena Park and Benedict to the Chino sugar factory aggregate in round numbers 10,500 tons, something over a fourth of the entire crop. The average saccharine test so far this season is over 17 per cent, which is very high for such a large quantity of beets. Starting with a basic price of $1.50 per ton for beets of 12 sugar, and ascending at the scale of 25 cents per ton tor each percentage over 12 per cent, we find that beets of 17 sugar bring $4.75 per ton, gross. The freight to Chino is 75 cents per ton, which leaves the farmer $4 per ton for his beets, less the usual charges for dumping, testing and so forth. At $4 per ton the beets shipped will bring in a return of $42,000. This is a large sum of money in the abstract; but, to employ the words of an intelligent beet raiser, what will it profit the farmers if in many cases the harvest has been attended with a lack of gain, or even at a loss? Moreover, many contracts for beets for the Alamitos factory have been made at $3, and some even as low as $2.75. While it is true that some of the more expert and more fortunate farmers will make money this season, yet it is also true that most of them will realize very scant profit indeed. Indications multiply that next year a decided advance in the price of beets will be demanded, or failing to receive it, many farmers will go out of the business. The price to be demanded will be, so we are informed, $4 for beets of 12 per cent sugar, 40 cents per ton additional for each of the next two percentages over 12, and 25 cents per ton for each percentage over 14. At these figures the beets so far shipped to Chino would bring a dollar more per ton. The Chino factory can well afford to pay this advance in the rates—indeed, in past seasons, anterior to the cutting down policy now so sedulously pursued by that factory, the rates were $4 per ton for 12 per cent beets, and 40 cents additional for each percentage over 12. The Chino factory this year expects to manufacture 40,000,000 pounds of sugar from 110,000 tons of beets. The net profit on this output of sugar is estimated at 2 cents per pound, and it may exceed that. This will net them $800,000, and even a cradle with a crying infant which fortunately was rescued. At the village of Freiheit, a house was washed away bodily and its teen occupants were drowned. All the whole town of Reichenberg is merged, and there, too, many have drowned. The loss to mill owners that district is estimated at million florins. In Vienna the damage already occurred to public works, sewers, gas mains bridges, is estimated at 2,000,000 florins. The Danube is now almost double normal width and is still rising. Cording to reports from places up river, the waters are not likely to raise their highest point until to-morrow. At Gmunden, Ischl, Auszo and health resorts, enormous damage been done. The people were compelled to flee for their lives. The Emperor Francis Joseph is sonally inspecting the efforts of his ficials to alleviate the effects of thisaster. In many places the crops been entirely destroyed and in consequence the price of provisions is raised on the increase. SUGAR AND PURITY Tests of Beets at the Laboratory Dairy Week. This week's tests, taken from books at the laboratory have been follows: THE DAILY AVERAGE. SUGAR.

Hunter...16.4 Jackson & Music...16.1 Much criticism is also to be leveled against the incomplete state of the water works. All the water works improvements—such as the sinking of the wells, laying of mains and making the service connections—it should be said, are already complete; but the unfinished wellpit, in which there is this morning probably five feet of water, retards the completion of the work; and when the pit will be completed, is past finding out. If we are to believe current rumors, the pit contractors consider their work complete—that they are not required by the contract to make the flooring of the pit water tight; in fact, the contractors themselves have so declared. In this view of the case, of what value will the pump pit be with five feet of water in the bottom? How is the pump to be operated with all this water in the pit? We do not think any further estimate will be permitted upon the pit, and probably no further money will be paid thereon until the same shall be in every way ready to receive the pump. The work upon much of the new public utilities has dragged itself along in the fashion of the merest child's play; and meantime the penalty of $50 per day goes uninterrupted on. But probably the City Trustees would be satisfied to remit the penalty if the new works could be installed to their satisfaction within a reasonable time. WHILE the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railway companies have been considering the propriety of constructing a railroad into the peat lands, and while the Santa Ana chamber of commerce has been passing resolutions to the effect that when the time arrived that a railway to Westminster might be regarded as a desirable thing for Santa Ana, it should be constructed in a direct line from the county seat to the Peat—while all these things have been going on, the Santa Ana & Newport Railway company has been quietly building a railroad from Newport to the rich celery fields. The road will have a length of perhaps ten or twelve miles, and it is aimed to have it completed by November 1st, in time to handle the celery crop, which will this year amount to upwards of 600 carloads. We have not the figures of the celery crop at hand, but the indications are that it will not fall below this estimate, and the enlarged acreage may result in increasing the figures considerably. The Santa Ana & Newport railway has lately increased its capital stock to $500,000. The directors of the road are James McFadden, John McFadden, M. M. Crookshank, W. H. Spurgeon and C. M. Smiley. These gentlemen comprise some of the wealthiest capitalists in the county, and they are abundantly able to push the new spur on to the peat lands in the contract time. Work upon the new line is already actively under way, and Westminster will soon have a railroad. No county in the state is making more active material progress than Orange county, and while we of this vicinity are going in extensively for beets, the Newport country is just now the scene of the busiest railroad operations in Southern California. BUENA PARK. Mr. and Mrs. Claycomb with three children are visiting with Mr. Dick Sailor. They are from Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Whitaker and At these figures the beets so far shipped to China would bring a dollar more per ton. The Chino factory can well afford to pay this advance in the rates—indeed, in past seasons, anterior to the cutting down policy now so sedulously pursued by that factory, the rates were $4 per ton for 12 per cent beets, and 40 cents additional for each percentage over 12. The Chino factory this year expects to manufacture 40,000,000 pounds of sugar from 110,000 tons of beets. The net profit on this output of sugar is estimated at 2 cents per pound, and it may exceed that. This will net them $800,000, and if the beets cost them a dollar per ton more, the factory would yet reap net profits amounting to $690,000, more than 100 per cent upon the capital stock invested. The feeling among the beet raisers relative to the necessity for an increase in the price of beets is widespread, emphatic and sincere. We speak by the card when we say that the spirit has spread from one end of the beet territory to the other. The farmers are determined to have it, and they realize that only by co-operation can this be brought about. Four dollars and forty is the battle cry. Let the farmers stand together and they cannot fail to receive a fair return for their labor. Is this price too much to ask? Look at the debt-tridden farmers who have lost money at the business, and make reply. Since above has been placed in type our attention has been called to the following item in the San Bernardino correspondence of the Los Angeles Times of yesterday: "A committee of the Beet Growers' Union was at Chino other day and called upon Manager Cottman of the Chino Valley Beet Sugar Co., and asked for the promised increase in the price to be paid for beets in case a bounty is to be paid or a higher tariff imposed. Yesterday Henry T. Oxnard, President of the company, wired Mr. Cottman that an increase of 25 cents per ton will be paid for beets under contract. This will increase the beet growers' income to about $65,000 this year." If this report be true, it will be a godsend to the beet farmers, although the raise could have been one dollar and not hurt the factory people. The raise will disburse between $8,000 and $9,000 among the Orange county beet farmers, and increase the payments to the beet growers here and at Chino probably $27,000, not $65,000, as stated in the above item. We print in another column on this page an interesting article from the New York Sun on "The Revenues and Pensions." We believe in pensioning the disabled soldier; but at the same time we think the people at large should be kept informed of the amounts annually paid out for pensions. The Sun's statistics are timely and interesting. CURIOUS RELIGIONS Some Sects the Members of Thought They Couldn't Discuss Our congress is prohibited by this institution from making laws respecting religious views and theories. This case, fanatics of all kinds have ennounced opportunity to propose views and make an effort to spread doctrines. Within this present case not less than a half dozen deludtals residing within the limits United States have claimed to be returned to earth, and the queen in connection with the ministry y fanatics is the fact that they can suade persons who are supposed to a fair amount of brains to believe they are all they claim to be. Since 1880 five different sects been founded in the United States members of which claimed that either themselves or their lives forever. Each of these queens WE WERE in error last week when we stated that the result of the special meeting of the water board, held on Tuesday of last week, was the sale of $20,000 worth of bonds, negotiated through the Citizens' bank. Forty thousand dollars worth of bonds were disposed of, at par, $24,000 negotiated through the Citizens' bank, $3000 sold to Wm. Crowther and $13,000 to W. F. Botsford. The bonds were sold at par, and a commission of 5 per cent was allowed for the sale. This block of bonds finishes up the last of the issue of $150,000. The commission for the sale amounts to $2000. HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONER HUNTINGTON informs us that at the meeting of the County Commissioners on Friday Mr. Hamilton of Orange, who had been commissioned to ascertain whether colonies of the rhizobius ventralis could be procured from Los Angeles for propagation in Orange county, reported that he had received information to the effect that none of the lady birds, with the exception possibly of a single colony, could be had. From Ventura much the same information was received. Why Orange county cannot have its quota of these lady birds, which are said to be destroying the black scale in Santa Barbara county and other places, is past finding out. We hear the very best reports of the work of the rhizobius in eradicating black scale, and certainly a concerted effort should be made to procure colonies of them here, where there is abundant work for them to do. Mr. Huntington assures us that the county commissioners will persevere in their efforts to get these lady birds, and every horticulturist will hope their efforts may be attended with success. BUENA PARK. Mr. and Mrs. Claycomb with three children are visiting with Mr. Dick Sailor. They are from Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Whitaker and Miss E. L. Cox have returned from Long Beach. Tuesday was the banner day for beet loading—sixteen cars from the Park and all first class. Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Koblinson gave a marsh-mallows roast in honor of their sister, Miss Otillia Hansen. The evening was full of interest and entertainment. The first game was hide-and-seek quotations, which afforded much merriment and no end of eager hunting to put all parts of the quotations together. Some were found beneath carpets, behind pictures, under pillows and chairs, up and down stairs, in fact everywhere. Then followed the illustrating of familiar songs. Miss Daisy Landell took the first prize, having guessed the greatest number, a lovely souvenir spoon; Mr. H. M. Whitaker, the second prize, a stamp box. The guests were then invited to the lawn, which was brilliant with Chinese lanterns, where was an artistic bon-fire. Each guest was presented with a spear and indulged heartily in the roasting. Music and refreshments followed. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Whitaker, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Whitaker, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Bixby, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kennedy, Misses Lenore Speidel, Jennie Johnson, Elsa Calder, Jennie Calder, Lucille Charter, Florence McCullough, Margaret Landell, Ethel Hunt, Emma Cox, Messrs. Will Smith, George Whitaker, H. M. Whitaker, Walter Tibbetts. Miss Hansen left for Michigan City Tuesday by way of San Francisco and Portland. FLOODS IN AUSTRIA. Great Damage Sustained by Growing Crops—Corpses Floating in the Streets. VIENNA, August 2.-Reports from the flooded districts show the situation is even worse than feared. The worst damage was done in Bohemia. Thirty houses have been destroyed and twenty-five persons drowned. Corpses were to be seen floating down the streets of Traulenau with every kind of debris, on the opportunity to propose views and make an effort to spread doctrine. Within the present case not less than a half dozen deluded tals residing within the limits United States have claimed to be returned to earth, and the queen in connection with the ministry's fanatics is the fact that they can suade persons who are supposed to a fair amount of brains to believe they are all they claim to be. Since 1830 five different sections been founded in the United States members of which claimed the right of either themselves or their four live forever. Each of these queens munities has been known by its bors as "the immortals," and each in the course of time come to give all such visionary dreamers must last deluded being to found a saint theory that he himself, at least immortal was David Patterson, was known to his followers as "the Jehovah."

FOR THE KLONDYKE. Alex Henry Comes to the Front With an Interesting Proposition. Alex Henry has made up his mind to start for the Klondyke. He has called a meeting of citizens to assemble at the Commercial Hotel on Saturday evening to discuss the advisability of forming a joint stock company for the purchase of a stern-wheel steamer of 250 to 300 tons burden to navigate the Yukon and carry the crew to the rich gold fields of Dawson. Alex spent three years in the Arctic, hunting seals, and the ship on which he sailed returned to San Francisco with a cargo of seal skins and whalebone valued at $175,000. He has many a rare story to tell of his adventures on that trip, and informs us money was easily made, and while the thermometer sank 50 or 60 degrees below zero he never had a happier time in all his life. If he is successful in organizing the joint stock company, the start for the gold-fields will be made in the spring. Alex's scheme is something like this: A joint stock company of at least 20 men will be formed under the laws of California, with a paid up capital of $14,000, each member being required to contribute $700 to the general fund. The membership is not limited to any certain number, as many being permitted to join who have the necessary $700. A committee will be selected to visit Seattle for the purpose of purchasing a suitable vessel for the voyage, or let the contract for the erection of a boat, should none be found that meets its approval. The intention is to secure a flat-bottom, stern-wheel steamer of from 250 to 300 tons burden, of shallow draught, which will be amply equipped with provisions and clothing to last at least two years. With this it is proposed to navigate as far up the Yukon river as Dawson, where general headquarters will be established. During the summer months the boat will ply between the mouth of the Yukon and the head of navigation on that river as a general passenger and mercantile vessel. It is also proposed to take from 100 to 150 passengers, other than members of the company, together with a large cargo of freight, on the initial trip. In this way it is expected that the boat will not only pay for itself and the expenses of the voyage, but will also net a handsome sum to the members of the company. During the winter months the boat will be used as a hotel. ORANGE EXCHANGE. A Statement to the Growers From the Orange County Board. The Orange County Fruit Exchange will issue to-day the following statement to the growers: ORANGE, Cal., August 2, 1897.-To the Fruit Growers: Orange growers of five or more years experience are familiar with the conditions which led to the organization of the Southern California Fruit Exchange. The system of marketing the product of the orchard, which made the grower furnish all the capital and assume all the risk in the business, while the shipper, without the investment of a dollar, or assuming any risk, was assured of his profit, had not proven satisfactory to the grower, and occasionally resulted in financial disaster to him. The mission of the Exchange has been to inaugurate and put in operation a more equitable system, a system by which the orange industry could be redeemed from the bankrupt condition to which the old system had forced it, and to place it where it rightfully belonged, among the revenue producing industries of this section of our country. This the Exchange system of cooperative marketing has achieved with satisfactory results to its members, while at the same time, it has given valuable aid to the industry, by making conditions which enabled the grower not affiliated with the exchange, to sell his fruit for cash, thus affording him protection from the greed of the commission dealer. It has reduced to a minimum the expense in picking, grading and packing of fruit, saving thereby to the grower 15 cents or more per box. It has put in operation a system of shipping fruit, which if properly supported by the growers, would prevent the overstocking of any market, or serious fluctuation in prices. It has by improved methods in grading and packing, established in eastern markets a reputation and commercial value to the exchange brand, giving the fruit popularity, which it could not have attained by the old system. While this degree of success has been attained by the exchange system, with from 30 to 50 per cent of the fruit under its control, how much greater would have been the results, had it received the united support and encouragement from the growers, which good business discernment and foresight would call for? In presenting these claims on the exchange system to the considers, excessive heat continues here and much suffering is result number of heat prostations curred today, but up to 2 fatalities had been reported. LOUISVILLE, Ky., August hot wave has not been broken tucky. The weather office yesterday that the thermometer tared 100.6 degrees, but this reached to-day, although there is almost as great. Reports in two Garrard county farm struck by lightning and instant yesterday afternoon during a HOPKINSVILLE, Ky., August Five deaths from intense heat curred here in past two days. THE REVENUE OF THE PENSIONS. The preliminary report of missioner of Internal Revenue fiscal year that ended with less shows a total of receipts by enrmment from its various internal amounting to only $146,619,580. The total of the appropriation pensions during the same fine was $141,328,580. We have no figures of actual expenditure cent experience shows that not vary much from those of priation. Therefore, the government expenditure, mostly on account civil war that ended thirty-ago, absorbed within about one of the whole internal revenue. The actual pension expencethe fiscal year ending June as reported by the Secretary was $139,434,000. Internal revenue receipts for were $146,762,864; so that after regular annual pension be remained of the internal revenue about $7,000,000 available for purposes. The year before that,the revenue receipts were $143,424,the expenditure for pensions was $395,228.All but about $2,000 internal revenue was used up in providing for the pensions. Go back one year moreension expenditure duringthe ending June 30, 1894 was $11while the internal revenue taxed $147,111,232;so that a little$6,000,000 of the internal reel left for the general expenseGovernment. To be exact, let us tabulate years remembering that these figures for 1897 are those of thereprints, not of the expenditure CURIOUS RELIGIONS. The Sects the Members of Which Thought They Couldn’t Die. Our congress is prohibited by the constitution from making laws respecting religious views and theories. This being case, fanatics of all kinds have taken the opportunity to propose their laws and make an effort to spread their trifles. Within the present century less than a half dozen deluded morals residing within the limits of the United States have claimed to be Christ centered to earth, and the queer thing connection with the ministry of such statistics is the fact that they can perceive persons who are supposed to have any amount of brains to believe they are all they claim to be. Since 1880 five different sects have been founded in the United States the members of which claimed the ability either themselves or their founder to forever. Each of these queer communities to last at least two years. With this it is proposed to navigate as far up the Yukon river as Dawson, where general headquarters will be established. During the summer months the boat will ply between the mouth of the Yukon and the head of navigation on that river as a general passenger and mercantile vessel. It is also proposed to take from 100 to 150 passengers, other than members of the company, together with a large cargo of freight, on the initial trip. In this way it is expected that the boat will not only pay for itself and the expenses of the voyage, but will also net a hand-some sum to the members of the company. During the winter months the boat will be used as a hotel. In this way it is hoped to make the trip at a less expense and endure fewer hardships. Alex is quite enthusiastic over the project, and informs us he has the assurances of active co-operation on the part of a number of our solid citizens. Saturday evening’s meeting will no doubt be largely attended and interesting. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending August 2, 1897. Furnished by the Orange County Title Company, Santa Ana. E. J.

With this it is proposed to navigate as far up the Yukon river as Dawson, where general headquarters will be established. During the summer months the boat will ply between the mouth of the Yukon and the head of navigation on that river as a general passenger and mercantile vessel. It is also proposed to take from 100 to 150 passengers, other than members of the company, together with a large cargo of freight, on the initial trip. In this way it is expected that the boat will not only pay for itself and the expenses of the voyage, but will also net a hand-some sum to the members of the company. During the winter months the boat will be used as a hotel. In this way it is hoped to make the trip at a less expense and endure fewer hardships. Alex is quite enthusiastic over the project, and informs us he has assurances of active co-operation on the part of a number of our solid citizens. Saturday evening’s meeting will no doubt be largely attended and interesting. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending August 2，1897. Furnished by the Orange County Title Company,Santa Ana.

Within the present century less than a half dozen deluded morals residing within the limits of the United States have claimed to be Christ earned to earth, and the queer thing connection with the ministry of such statistics is the fact that they can permeate persons who are supposed to have their amount of brains to believe that they are all they claim to be. Since 1880 five different sects have been founded in the United States the members of which claimed the ability either themselves or their founder to forever. Each of these queer communities has been known by its neighbors as "the immortals," and each has the course of time come to grief, as such visionary dreamers must. The deluded being to found a sect on the theory that he himself, at least, was mortal was David Patterson, who was drawn to his followers as "the eye of Jehovah." The Patterson sect were known as "the children of Zion." Their headquarters were mainly at Grand Mills, Mich., although there were upward of a dozen branch organizations in different states of the Union. Patton claimed that he would never die, but the great tenet of faith with the children of Zion was belief in the claims which their leader made. In 1888 this styled "eye of Jehovah" began to grow dim—in other words, to waste day with an incurable disease. Finally went to France, where he died, just all other mortals have done or will not be a crazy fanatic or a blasmer. Sects founded on claims of immutability are not at all dangerous, as is only a question of time when the mission will be effectually dispelled. Louis Republic.

The year before that, the internal revenue receipts were $143,421,672, and the expenditure for pensions was $141,-895,228. All but about $2,000,000 of the internal revenue was used up that year in providing for the pensions. Go back one year more. The pension expenditure during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, was $141,177,284, while the internal revenue taxes yielded $147,111,232; so that a little less than $6,000,000 of the internal revenue was left for the general expenses of the Government. To be exact, let us tabulate the four years, remembering that the pension figures for 1897 are those of the appropriations, not of the expenditure: Fiscal Year Internal Revenue Pensions. 1894 $147,111,232 $141,177,284 1895 143,421,672 141,395,228 1896 146,762,864 139,434,000 1897 146,619,508 141,328,580 Totals $583,915,276 $563,335,092 The two great sources of money with which to meet the current expenses of the Government, disregarding the Cleveland method of borrowing and paying interest, are the customs revenue and the internal revenue. If we consider the internal revenue as a thing apart for the purpose of paying pensions, we find that, according to the Treasury Department's bookkeeping, it has sufficed to meet the enormous pension expenditure during the past four years, with just about $20,000,000 to spare. But, in fact, it may not have done quite so well as that, inasmuch as a deficiency appropriation of about $14,000,000, technically charged to the expenses of 1893, actually came out of the revenue of the period beginning with 1894. So that it is fair to say, in a general way, that pensions have been eating up nearly the whole of the internal revenue. If we take the other view of the matter and consider the entire internal revenue as available for the general expenses of the Government, the legislative, executive, and judicial establishments, foreign intercourse, the army and navy, public works, interest on the debt, and so on, and charge pensions to the customs revenue exclusively, we get the subjoined comparison: Fiscal Customs Year Revenue Pensions 1894 $131,818,530 $141,177,284 1895 152,158,617 141,395,228 1896 160,121,751 139,434,000 1897 174,041,296 141,328,580 Totals $618,140,194 $563,335,092 The figures for 1897 are preliminary, and they cover the period of the enormous anticipatory importation of the spring and early summer just past; but let the pensions have the benefit of that too. It appears therefore that if we regard the tariff and the custom house system of the United States as machinery to produce revenue wherewith to pay the pensions, the establishment has proved during the past four years adequate to its task. The customs revenue has been sufficient to provide for the pensions now paid by the United States government, with a margin for safety of between $13,000,000 and $14,-000,000 annually. That leaves the internal revenue to pay all the other expenses. How many people stop to consider that more than nine-tenths of the money raised by the tariff has been going for pensions during the past four years? How many people would believe without turning to the official documents for the figures, that during the period more than 96 per cent of all the revenue raised by internal taxes has... has proved during the past four years adequate to its task.
