They will Continue the Demand, Made at the Last Session of Congress, for a Fair Apportionment of River and Harbor Appropriation. The people of the West are beginning to realize that they have, at various times, through Congress, been used as a cat's paw to further the sectional interests of the East, and at the same time have been denied an equal or just division of public money to develop their own region. Western representatives have always waged an up-hill fight to get recognition for their vast territory, and this was more than ever apparent in the closing days of the Congress just adjourned, when the item in the River and Harbor bill providing for the construction of Western reservoirs, agreed to by the Senate after a gallant fight by the Western Senators, was finally killed in conference by the action of the members of the House of Representatives. Western men are beginning to see clearly that irrigation will not win its own battle against Eastern opposition, and that the only hope of their securing just recognition is by united action. They did unite in the session just closed, and they made a grand fight for the West, and they almost won the day. Such action needs only to be continued to be successful. Western men are organizing, even now, to carry the war into Africa during the coming Congress, and they propose to not only demand but to secure a just proportion of vital of the bill to the Conference committee at about 3 o'clock of the morning of adjournment, but the House committee refused to recede from its attitude of hostility to the amendment and the advocates of the measure deem it best to submit in this session to the unjust demands of Mr. Burton and his conferees on the Committee from the House, rather than force an extra session. BRIGHT PROSPECTS. In summing up the situation a few days since, Senator Warren said: "I will say that if the fight is prosecuted in the future as it has been in this congress, the West will receive its recognition. Our section lacks representation in the House, and it is difficult to create any direct interest in irrigation matters, but I can see daylight ahead it the Senate. The House has, however, learned its lesson this session, aid that the Senate is going to fight for the appropriation in the future. If the friends of irrigation for the West will continue their efforts with vigor and persistence, I believe that it will become as popular to advocate the development of Arid-America as it was to enter into a war for Cuban freedom, to expand into West Indian possession, or even to extend our guidance to lands on the other side of the globe, jumping meantime clear across an empire within our own borders, which is capable, under development, of supporting the entire population of the United States." VOICE OF THE PRESS. DELIVER US FROM SUCH ANOTHER LEGISLATURE! From the Azusa Pomotropic. From a nonpartisan standpoint the California Legislature has made a record that is beyond comparison in the history of any State. We find one candidate for United States Senator, who is accused by many of the leading papers of the State as a gambler, horseracer and allround dishonest man, but they cannot be caught napping this year. Ever since last December they have been soaking their lands with the winter floods that in their previous shortsightedness they had allowed to rush by unchecked. On the orchards and fields remote from the irrigation canals many new wells have been sunk and pumps kept steadily employed until the surface soil of the entire valley is saturated to considerable depth. It is said that three more inches of rain must be recorded before May 1 to bring the season's precipitation up to the average, but if not another drop falls until next winter there will be no REED TO ANY PART PER POUND.

I was able Western men are beginning to see clearly that irrigation will not win its own battle against Eastern opposition, and that the only hope of their securing just recognition is by united action. They did unite in the session just closed, and they made a grand fight for the West, and they almost won the day. Such action needs only to be continued to be successful. Western men are organizing, even now, to carry the war into Africa during the coming Congress, and they propose to not only demand but to secure a just proportion of Government money for the development of their section of the Union. Arid-land irrigation has, however, won many friends in the East, and it was only through the most bitter and determined opposition on the part of its enemies that its interests were defeated in 1899. A NARROW, SELFISH POLICY. The appropriation inserted by the Senate in the River and Harbor bill for the construction of storage reservoirs on the headwaters of the Missouri, and for the survey of sites in every arid and semi-arid State, was forced out in the Conference Committee, chiefly through the narrow, sectional and selfish opposition of Representative Burton, of Ohio, the Chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors. As was charged on the floor of the House by Mr. Tongue, of Oregon, when the bill came up there for passage, Mr. Burton, of Ohio, had succeeded in putting together a River and Harbor bill which gave to his own State $2,568,500, and for improving the Ohio river from head to mouth, various additional sums aggregating $2,015,000—a bill which gave $24,062,869.49 to the fifteen States represented upon the Committee on Rivers and Harbors and only $4,578,392.75 to all the other States. Mr. Burton saw no objection to the appropriation of $210,000 made by the bill for the repair of the reservoirs at the head of the Mississippi river, nor to the building of levees on the Missouri for flood protection, nor to the expenditure of millions of dollars for this purpose on the Mississippi which saved the Mississippi valley farmer from destruction by flood; but he objected bitterly to removing the cause of these great evils, to control which millions are expended annually. He objected to reservoiring the flood waters at the head of the Missouri in Wyoming, because, perchance, some drought-striken farmer of the West might get some benefit from it by using some of the waters to irrigate his parched fields. UNITED ACTION NECESSARY. The Western Senators made a great fight to hold the reservoir appropriation, consuming nearly whole of the last night of the session, and had it not been that the Army and Navy appropriation bills came after the River and Harbor bill, and that time had to be given to pass them in order to avoid an extra session, the Senators from the West would have forced the Committee from the House to yield. There is no doubt that the fight so splendily begun can be won in another session, if the people of the West will unite in support of their Senators and Congressmen to insist upon justice to the West in the apportionment of river and harbor appropriations. Senator Warren, of Wyoming, took the burden of the contest and spoke for over four hours. He showed by engineers' reports and surveys the importance of the measure and how far-reaching its benefits would be by removing the cause of floods, through the meantime clear across an empire within our own borders, which is capable, under development, of supporting the entire population of the United States." VOICE OF THE PRESS. DELIVER US FROM SUCH ANOTHER LEGISLATURE! From the Azusa Pomotropic. From a nonpartisan standpoint the California Legislature has made a record that is beyond comparison in the history of any State. We find one candidate for United States Senator, who is accused by many of the leading papers of the State as a gambler, horseracer and allroad dishonest man, but a man of ability, supported by 30 members out of 120. We find 30 more members supporting a man who is almost an alien to the State, who never was accused of having any ability, who confessed that he gave money through his agents to members indiscriminately, who certainly is either a violator of the law of common deceay knowing or is too simple to fill any office; yet we see one-half of the members supporting two such men, and these 60 members are over two-thirds of the majority members of the dominant party whose duty it was to elect a United States Senator. On the other hand the minority members did everything in their power to keep this sight up, so as to keep from electing a Senator, hoping by political wheel of fortune two years hence to get in power. Both these factions never for a moment thought about the necessity of having a Senator to help protect the many varied interests of the State; thinking only of their respective party or pockets, as the case may be. If this is patriotism, it must be a kind that we as agriculturists are strangers to. Deliver us from such another legislature for the next 50 years. MR. HANSEN'S ENTERPRISE. From the Orange News. Gustav Hansen, who resides in the Fullerton precinct on the road from Anaheim to Buena Park, a few years ago built himself there one of handsomest residences in the county, and furnished it tastefully. It is on an 80-acre ranch, a portion whereof is ornamental grounds, with shrubs and flowers, and another portion is in archdorf of citrus and deciduous fruit. But mainly it is a dairy. Mr. Hansen keeps 43 Jersey milch cows, and has proper stables and sheds for the purpose. He sells milk to the condensed milk factory at Buena Park, where it is found to average 54 per cent butter. As the 80-acre ranch, with so large a portion taken up by ornamental grounds and orchards, affords no sufficient acreage for grain, hay and alfalfa. Mr. Hansen two years ago bought, for $32 per acre, four miles from there near Alamitos, 300 acres of raw land. He bored two wells, one 190 feet and the other 480 feet deep, and secured from both a steady stream of artesian water, from 4 to 5 inches above the mouth of the pipes, where thereof is 4 and the other 7 inches in diameter. These two wells together irrigate 35 acres of alfalfa. Mr. Hansen is now attempting to develop more artesian water, for alfalfa, and boring three more wells. He is prepared to go any depth required. Mr. Hansen is an energetic man and a practical farmer. Though he was during larger part of his business life a successful dealer in agricultural products at Chicago he was raised on a farm in Holstein, Germany. Rev E.

In closing his remarks Senator Carter said: "Of the thirty odd million dollars to be carried from the treasury through this bill, the great empire extending from Canada to Mexico and from Missouri to the Sierra Nevada mountains is here like a pauper seeking a pittance of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to prosecute surveys and begin the construction of the proposed system of storage reservoirs; and this conference report strikes out the pit-tance embraced in the Senate amendment. The position, Mr. President, is in itself humiliating. Observe in the bill an appropriation for a stream called Pull-and-be-Dammed [laughter] and another for Old Man's Creek. No one pretends that any public will result from such appropriations as those." Senator Stewart and Senator Wilson each made a strong plea for justice for the West, showing its vast latent resources and the advantages that will accrue to the whole nation from its development. A humorous sally of Senator Wilson's created much laughter when he said that the attitude of Congress on this question reminded him of the old lines: "The old goose thinketh, thinketh; The young goose blinketh, blinketh, blinketh. But the young goose never knows What the old goose thinketh." He said in closing: "The West is a great country, Mr. President. It has a great future. There is a Pacific as well as an Atlantic seacoast. We are looking out upon that great oriental commerce and trade that is before us." The vigorous contest made by the Senators of the West forced a recom-mouth of the pipes, one whereof is 4 and the other 7 inches in diameter. These two wells together irrigate 35 acres of alfalfa. Mr. Hansen is now attempting to develop more artesian water, for more alfalfa, and is boring three more wells. He is prepared to go any depth required. Mr. Hansen is an energetic man and a practical farmer. Though he was during the larger part of his business life a successful dealer in agricultural products at Chicago, he was raised on a farm in Holstein, Germany. Rev. E. Edwards, pastor of the English Baptist Church at Minersville, Pa., when suffering with rheumatism, was advised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. He says: "A few applications of this liniment proved of great service to me. It subdued the inflammation and relieved the pain. Should any sufferer profit by giving Pain Balm a trial it will please me." For sale by Derge m. THE ALLEGED "GLOBE TROTTERS" ON THEIR TRAVELS. From the Chino Champion, March 24. Ludwig Blocks and August Jacoby, two German musicians, are in town for a few days. They are en route from Arizona to San Francisco on horseback. After reaching San Francisco they expect to start on a trip around the world on horseback. They will go first to New York, thence sail to England, visit France, Germany, Italy, Africa, India, China, thence to Australia and back to San Francisco. The trip is arranged by some of the large daily newspapers on a wager that the trip cannot be made, including some specified stops, in four years. Both are talented musicians and they will make their way by giving concerts in the towns en route. At the time of the World's Fair these two young men walked from New York to Chicago, and then on a wager walked from Chicago to San Francisco in 171 days. They will remain here several days, and gave a concert in the Bowling Club rooms last evening.

Company No Juvenile, Having Organized in 1858—Capitalized 20,000, and 8000 Acres Irritating of a Plan to Develop Water—The City Water System and to Appreciative Words of a Francisco Newspaper. On of the citrus belt is better than Orange county to withstand season of drought. It advantages of the best irrigation in the State, and the reattached to them are either moist, or can be watered in wells. County suffered from drought because the condition was unhealthy since last December they soaking their lands with the floods that in their previous wetness they had allowed to runcheckeled. On the orchards on remote from the irrigation many new wells have been sunk as kept steadily employed under surface soil of the entire valley need to considerable depth. Did that three more inches of it be recorded before May 1 to season's precipitation up to June, but if not another drop next winter there will be no extensively set out. Once upon a time viniculture was the only industry here, and there is a gradual returning to it. The crop of deciduous fruits will be up to the average this season. Unless a late frost occurs the output of citrus fruits will be much greater than that of last year. The orange trees are just beginning to bud, and no definite estimate of their final yield can be made until about a month later, when the surplus infants have dropped. Walnuts are yet dormant. Nothing has injured them thus far, and it is expected that the crop will be up to the average of 200 carloads in the district. A COMMUNITY AFFAIR. Of no less magnitude than the Anaheim Water Company's system are the operations of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, with headquarters at Orange. Its service extends over 15,000 acres, embracing the towns of Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin. The main canal, tapping the Santa Ana river, has a length, including main branches, of 20.5 miles. Its bottom width is twelve feet; top width, eighteen feet; depth, three feet; theoretical capacity, 114 cubic feet per second. Eight miles from its head the canal is taken through a spur of the foothills by means of two tunnels of 200 and 600 feet respectively, cut in sandstone. On leaving the last tunnel the water is divided, one ditch skirting around the rim of the valley and the other making a nearly vertical fall of fifty-six feet and passing across the valley through Orange and Santa Ana. Eighty miles of concrete lined ditches are supplied by this system. The main canal is now full, but its surface flow will decrease to 1000 inches during the summer. It is the boast of this company that the region served by it was the only part of the citrus belt that did not suffer from the drought last season. At no time was its supply of water inadequate nor at any time did its rates exceed the incredibly low figure of 10 MACHINE SHOPS? Southern Pacific's Extensive Purchases of Realty. A Deed Filed for Record on Thursday for 61-3 acres of the Dreyfus Tract, Fronting Santa Ana Street. Opposite the Three acres in the Konig Tract. Upon which it Has Already Secured an Option—Agents at Work Securing More Land on Both Sides of Santa Ana Street from Los Angeles Street to Lemon—On the Edge of a Boom. On Thursday last there was filed for record in the county archives at Santa Ana a deed from J. Frowenfeld, representing the Dreyfus estate, to the Southern Pacific Company, conveying to that company six and a third acres of land in Vineyard lot G3, as well as an easement along the Olive street frontage of Vineyard lot H3, the considerations being $1274.40 and $1 respectively. The land purchased fronts on Santa Ana street, across the road from the depot site in the Konig tract, where the railroad company has already secured an option upon three acres running from Los Angeles street east to Olive street. During the week negotiations have been on foot looking to the purchase of land on both sides of Santa Ana street, running from Los Angeles street west to Lemon, and it is also said that deals are on foot looking to the acquisition of land on Santa Ana street west of Lemon. In all, the land already purchased, together with that upon which an option has been secured, and the lots now being negotiated for, amounts to about 14 acres. If the land now being bargained for is also purchased west of Lemon street, the railroad's purchase will amount to not less than 20 acres. What the desire of the railroad company may be in the acquisition of not be caught napping this winter since last December they soaked their lands with the floods that in their previous wetness they had allowed to runchecked. On the orchards remote from the irrigation many new wells have been sunk and next winter there will be no land blight in Orange county. 18 inch of rain that spattered the county last Thursday helped bring grain crops and pasture at the horticulturists did not goasures over its immediate effect our interests. What they did least joy from was the fact that of rain upon the valley meant from three to six feet of snow on mountain range that feeds irrigation ditches and annually millions of gallons of water unload their lands, where it can be then needed. There 780 square miles of territured by the boundaries of county. Three-fourths of this area in level and rolling land, and under is mountainous, interwitteth fertile valleys. The topography such that all of the valley are susceptible of irrigation. Of the lands watered from the Anna and San Juan rivers and the creek there are about 60,000 acres by the aid of artesian wells. In the Santa Ana river that the irrigation systems of the Union Water Company and Anna Irrigation Company are. Their canals tap the river on Coast Range mountains, at Canyon, the narrowest part of through the range. A GREAT SYSTEM. Annaheim Company irrigates an 45x7 miles, embracing the towns Anton, Placentia, North Annaheim Heim. It has two main canals, Ann and the Annaheim. Former canal is located highest river of all the irrigation channels district. Its total length is; bottom width, 7 feet; top 3 feet; grade, 2.1 feet per mile; local capacity, 78 cubic feet per acre. The water supply at the head catch is usually abundant, but is now than has ever before been at this time of year. Its carry-city is 2500 inches, and at surface flow is estimated at 1900 cubic yards is the length of the Anna-anal. It has a cross-sectional about 12 square feet and a grade without drops or overfalls. A month ago it was running to capacity of 1500 inches, but to very low—just how low the officials could not estimate. Major canal supplies the north-east of the district, and the Anatoth is depended upon by the tourists within a two-mile radius Heim town. Count of the porous character of nearly all of the sixty miles of ditching ditches in the district are defined. During the last five about $75,000 has been spent in improvement, and the quantity which has thus been saved from en transit is incalculable. No juvenile, this Annaheim Waterway. Its organization was effected in 1988. Then it had a capital stock and 600 feet respectively, cut in sandstone. On leaving the last tunnel water is divided, one ditch skirting around the rim of the valley and the other making a nearly vertical fall of fifty-six feet and passing across the valley through Orange and Santa Ana. Eighty miles of concrete lined ditches are supplied by this system. The main canal is now full, but its surface flow will decrease to 1000 inches during the summer. It is the boast of this company that the region served by it was the only part of the citrus belt that did not suffer from the drought last season. At no time was its supply of water inadequate nor at any time did its rates exceed the incredibly low figure of 10 cents per 100 inches per hour for day service and half that price for night irrigation. Superintendent J. R. Payne declares that the supply in the main canal last year was greater than the previous season's volume. This phenomenon is explainable only by the theory that the water which enters the upper valley, between the Coast Range and the Sierra Madre, takes at least a twelve-month to percolate through to the bottom of the company's basis of supplies. On this hypothesis the Santa Ana valley should now begin to feel the effects of the shortage of precipitation in the mountains a year ago. There certainly has been a marked decrease in the artesian springs pressure during the last twelvemonth. In this irrigation district the water is irrevocably attached to the land. No man can irrigate his property without first becoming a shareholder in the company. The stock is issued at the rate of one share for each acre. Upon face of the certificate is inscribed a description of the particular tract or parcel of land to which it is attached, and a stockholder cannot transfer his water-right from one tract to another belonging to him. Should he desire to temporarily suspend irrigation upon one tract and irrigate another, he must purchase new stock for the new parcel of land. By adhering to this rule, 15,000 of the total 20,000 shares have been sold. And as the community character of the corporation prevents profit making, the extraordinarily low price of the irrigation is not difficult to understand. A superintendent, a secretary, and five water deliverers are the only salaried attachés of the company. It has spent about $200,000 in bringing its system to present perfection. Each stockholder was served with water every three weeks last summer, and the same intervals will be observed this year. The irrigating head is 100 inches, measured under a nominal four-inch pressure, through an orifice 334 inches long by 3 inches high, in a box placed at the head of the distributing ditch. For each daylight hour of this service the irrigator is taxed 10 cents, and half that rate for night runs. This system extends as far east and south as it is needed. At the town of Santa Ana the artesian belt is encountered. The wells are not flowing as vigorously as they did a couple of years ago, but where they fail to reach the surface pumps are put in to aid them. Santa Ana controls its own water works, consisting of four artesian wells 350 feet in depth. Time was when these springs vomited much water to the surface, but for the last eighteen months they have not risen to within a dozen feet of daylight, and pumps are lifting them into a 650,000-gallon reservoir, that is ample to supply all the little city's needs. The remainder of the equipment includes twenty-eight miles of pipe and seventy-six hydrants. The artesian belt extends northwest almost to the city of Los Angeles and south to the sea beach. No water is Olive street. During the week negotiations have been on foot looking to the purchase of land on both sides of Santa Ana street, running from Los Angeles street west to Lemon, and it is also said that deals are on foot looking to the acquisition of land on Santa Ana street west of Lemon. In all, the land already purchased, together with that upon which an option has secured, and the lots now being negotiated for, amounts to about 14 acres. If the land now being bargained for is also purchased west of Lemon street, the railroad's purchase will amount to not less than 20 acres. What the desire of the railroad company may be in the acquisition of the tract of land contiguous to its new depot site in the Konig tract, has been a matter of interested comment upon the part of many of the citizens of Anaheim during the past week, and the rumor is persistently circulated that the erection of extensive machine works and round houses will be undertaken in the near future. A year ago a gentian well on inside of sources of railroad information gave out the opinion that the Southern Pacific would, some time in the not distant future, build its principal machine shops in Southern California in this city. The machine shops in Los Angeles were overrowded with work, and land adjacent to buildings could not be secured except at an exorbitant outlay.

During the last five about $75,000 has been spent in improvement, and the quantity of which has thus been saved from en transit is incalculable. No juvenile, this Anaheim Waterway. Its organization was effected 1858. Then it had a capital stock of 2000. Now its capitalization is 4000, and 8000 of its 12,000 shares equally sold. The irrigators are self-stockholders, and the water used among them by regular rooftop payment of a certain fixed aim being to supply each at least twice a month.

Time was when these springs vomited much water to the surface, but for the last eighteen months they have not risen to within a dozen feet of daylight, and pumps are lifting them into a 650,000-gallon reservoir, that is ample to supply all the little city's needs. The remainder of the equipment includes twenty-eight miles of pipe and seventy-six hydrants. The artesian belt extends northwest almost to the city of Los Angeles and south to the sea beach. No water is needed for irrigation in that region, however, as the land is low lying and naturally moist. It is the great vegetable and sugar beet producing section of Los Angeles and Orange counties. They tried to strike the artesian belt in the town of Orange, about three miles northwest of Santa Ana, but at a depth of 265 feet they did not even strike bedrock, so they let it go at that. George P. Lowe supplies the town with water from his well, and the county does the street sprinkling from a 171-foot well bored for that purpose. At a depth of from 90 to 110 feet there is an eight-foot layer of fine gravel which seems to be fairly swimming in water, and it can be tapped by boring anywhere in the town. Tustin gets its irrigation from the Santa Ana Valley Company and numerous wells supply its domestic needs. What has been said of the crops in the Anaheim district applies to those of the section south and east of it. There is the same diversified cultivation and it is in the same gratifying condition. J.

The erection of extensive railroad machine shops in this city will give Anaheim a material boom that it has not felt in all its history. Already transfers of real estate show an unusual activity, and one hears of proposed options on land on various sides. It is reported on good authority that a Chicago capitalist, who has been in town for some time past, is negotiating for the purchase of the Mitchell lot on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, for the erection thereon of a three-story brick hotel. Samuel Federman has had under consideration for some time past the erection of a two-story brick building on his lot on the corner of Center and Claudina streets. N. Hart is having plans and specifications drawn for a two-story building on his newly purchased lot next to the City Hall. Dr. Bickford has purchased two lots on Center street, east of the City Hall, and will immediately begin the erection of an office and residence thereon. Other deals are in prospect, and at least one large brick building on Center street, opposite the City Hall, is in prospect. The intending purchaser has been in correspondence with the Hammel & Denker estate, the Los Angeles owners, for the purchase of the property. Joe Helmsen has been made several offers for an option upon his forty-acre ranch at Placentia, on the line of the railroad, but has decided to withdraw the reality temporarily from the market. He has been holding the tract at $7500, but thinks, in view of the fact that the Placentia depot may be within a stone's throw of the center of it, that he had better stand by and see what the future may bring him in the shape of a substantial raise in the price of the land. L. F. Lewis has about closed a deal for the sale of his thirty-acre improved ranch at Placentia. The consideration is $15,000. Cement sidewalks will be placed on Claudina street from Center street to the depot grounds on Santa Ana, and Los Angeles street and Broadway will also be provided with cement walks. Anaheim is on the edge of a boom. "The Southern Pacific has great things in store for this town," said Mr. Pattison, as he took his departure for San Francisco last week, "just you wait and see." It may be that the railroad's machine shops are what he was referring to. A Santa Fe "detective" has been in town for ten days past. What he is here for, is past finding out, except to look wise and maintain an air of mystery. He is an aged gentleman, probably 55, having grey hair, smokes a pipe and looks like a retired real-estate speculator in easy circumstances.
