NEXT Tuesday occurs the election for the purpose of voting upon the question of issuing bonds in the amount of $100,000 for the erection of a court-house. Too much importance cannot be attached to the advantage of issuing bonds for the construction of the building, rather than by the levy of a direct tax, and inasmuch as the Supervisors are upon record as favoring the imposition of a direct tax should the bonds fail to carry, it will be useful to scan the significance of the figures again. The following figures, prepared by County Auditor Hall, show the tax rate for the first three years in the event of the issuance of the bonds. The amount of taxes will decrease in about the same proportion each year after the third year until the entire debt is paid: | Year | Valuation | | :--- | :--- | | 1890 | $100 | | 1900 | $500 | | 1901 | $1000 | | 1902 | $1500 | | 1903 | $2000 | | 1904 | $2500 | That is to say, a man paying taxes on $100 of valuation would pay this year two and a quarter cents toward the erection of a courthouse. That amount would pay the year's interest on the bonds. Next year he would pay nine cents and the next year eight cents, which would pay the yearly interest on the bonds, and $5000 sinking fund for each year. On $1000 of valuation he would pay 22 cents, 90 cents and 80 cents respectively, or a total of $192 toward the construction of the courthouse. If the bonds are voted it is expected they will be floated about January 1, 1900, thus giving the county the full amount of money with which to construct the building. With this amount of money in hand contracts can be advantageously let for the entire building, and the same can be completed and ready for occupancy, in all probability, within a year from the time the contracts are let; whereas if the building should be erected piecemeal (which would be the result of a directization begins to be more thoroughly appreciated. The executive committee is daily receiving encouraging letters from all over the Union pointing to a large attendance. The meetings of the congress heretofore have done much to bring about a healthy unity of sentiment in the West, where irrigation is a live issue, and this is being more and more impressed upon the East and upon our national statesmen. The leasing of the public lands for grazing purposes, the title to remain in the nation, and the revenue derived therefrom to be used by the several States for irrigation development, is one of the measures advocated by the congress, which is gaining more favor as it becomes better understood. The land would still be subject to settlement under the land laws of the United States, so that the danger of monopolistic holdings of land would be avoided. The cattle and the sheep men would have an interest in the soil they have never had before, and while they would not be justified in making great permanent improvements, they could be depended upon to make many minor improvements, such as fencing, preservation of the watering places, and building of storage reservoirs for watering, etc. The losses of cattle from starvation in the Northwest—for no man would willingly overstock his own range—would thus be reduced to the minimum, a humanitarian proposition that of itself is worthy of consideration. The disputes over ranges between cattle and sheep men, and the accompanying litigation, and sometimes even bloodshed, would disappear, and the States would be enabled to begin the work of reclamation of the arid lands within their boarders. When one pauses to think of the millions of homes that could be made upon the arid lands of this country, were they reclaimed by irrigation, relieving the cities of their congested population, and giving the hopeless toiler an opportunity of owning his own land, and the millions upon millions of increase in the productive power of the nation, the wonder is not that a few scientists, economists, engineers, business men, and farmers should become enthusiasts on the subject of irrigation, but that the matter has not sooner impressed itself upon some of our alleged far-sighted statesmen. SAN JUAN HOT SPRING How a Party of Temporary Soilers are Enjoying Themselves. CAPISTRANO HOT SPRINGS, August EDITOR GAZETTE:—As I know are interested in all that interest will tell you how we pass them here at the hot springs. They from Capistrano is rather a dust but we enjoyed looking about us not mind that much. I should looked, except when coming over grade, when at least one pair o gazed steadfastly at the mountain left, for there is a deep cany right-hand side, and they might be wider. Our camp is a very pleasant area some large oak trees. They quite a number at the springs and more are expected to arrive in September. There are several flies camped on what is called Flat—Mrs. Beckett with her two sisters, Mrs. Hammond and daughter Miss Kerns, all from Santa Ana other side of the Flat is occupied H. Cargill and his family. Acre creek are several other campers, them Mrs. Nebelung and chieftar up this creek are still and about half a mile away live United States forester, Mr. Tauland his family. We manage to have a pretty time; almost every one tries in way to contribute to the general ment. Last Saturday night we large bonfire in the center of tha and all the campers gathered it. The feature of the evening war dance, in which Uncle Cameron who I believe hails from Brookfield distinguished himself. Then they a Virginia reel, and after that refreshments. As music we hither, guitar and mandolin, and most every one joined in single popular airs of the day and their old songs that most of us like of all. We had quite an adventure a week ago. It must have been midnight when I was aroused by stepping in the creek. I had much of lions and bears that I insurmised it to be either one or other. I feel sorry that I can lighten you on the subject, but caution with bravery, and after If the bonds are voted it is expected they will be floated about January 1, 1900, thus giving the county the full amount of money with which to construct the building. With this amount of money in hand contracts can be advantageously let for the entire building, and the same can be completed and ready for occupancy, in all probability, within a year from the time the contracts are let; whereas if the building should be erected piecemeal (which would be the result of a direct tax levy, inasmuch as only one-third of the amount could be raised each year) contracts will not be so favorable to the taxpayers. Should the bonds be defeated and a direct property tax levied, the tax payments on the following amounts of valuations would be according to the figures appended: | Courthouse Value | 1899 | 1900 | 1901 | |------------------|------|------|------| | On $100 valuation | .33% | .33% | .33% | | On $200 valuation | 1.66% | 1.66% | 1.66% | | On $1000 valuation | 3.33% | 3.33% | 3.33% | | On $1500 valuation | 4.00 | 4.00 | 4.00 | | On $2000 valuation | 5.66% | 5.66% | 5.66% | | On $5000 valuation | 16.66% | 16.66% | 16.66% | If the courthouse is built by direct tax the entire amount ($100,000) will be raised in three years. It will be necessary either to let contracts each year to the amount of the tax levy, or wait until the expiration of the third year, when the whole amount will have been raised, and then let the contract for the whole. Another point in favor of the bond plan is that by its adoption the present taxpayers will have their burdens lightened by those arriving within the next score of years, which would not be the case under the direct tax plan. The local correspondent of the Los Angeles Times has "jumped up" another mare's nest: A good deal of discussion has been created by the development of the fact that for some time past retailing of lubricating oil has been practiced at the city power-house, thus putting the city in competition with retail business concerns. The City Trustees do not deny that the sale of oil has been permitted, the chairman of the Finance Committee alleging, when the fact was made public, that he gave orders and received pay for all the oil sold. The City clerk is on record as saying that no oil account existed except with the parties from whom the town purchased. Since making this statement he has given another in which he says that when he first spoke of oil he meant crude and not lubricating oil. A retail account of all oil does exist, but is buried with reports of the Finance Committee, and does not show on the books as a separate item. A local dealer in oils, who is doubtless responsible for the inauguration of the harmless oil literature that has lately appeared in print, said to us the other day: "We understand you get lubricating oil free at the city power-house." The books will show whether we do or not. April 23, 1898, we purchased 15 cents' worth of refined lubricating oil (valvolene) at the power-house, the lubricating oil theretofore purchased gumming our presses and proving unsatisfactory. After that, on April 10th of this year, we purchased another 15 cents' worth of this oil, another kind of lubricating oil used in the mean-time proving unsatisfactory. In both instances the oil was paid for. Here is 30 cents' worth of oil purchased by us. When one pauses to think of the millions of homes that could be made upon the arid lands of this country, were they reclaimed by irrigation, relieving the cities of their congested population, and giving the hopeless toiler an opportunity of owning his own land, and the millions upon millions of increase in the productive power of the nation, the wonder is not that a few scientists, economists, engineers, business men, and farmers should become enthusiasts on the subject of irrigation, but that the matter has not sooner impressed itself upon some of our alleged far-sighted statesmen. The policy of protection has been vindicating itself ever since, under the present administration, it has again had an opportunity to demonstrate its merit as a national policy. Last year was a phenomenal year in the exportation of agricultural products, but the products of the factory and shop made an equally phenomenal advance. But the fiscal year recently ended witnessed a still more remarkable increase in the exports of American manufactures. Up to 1899 the imports of manufactures into the United States were always greater than the exports. In that year the exports of manufactures aggregated $290,600,000, and for the first time in history of the country the exportations of American-made products exceeded the importation of manufactures, the total value of this class of exports having been 25 per cent in excess of the value of manufactured imports. In the fiscal year 1899, however, in spite of the increased imports of manufactures, the total exportation was 30 per cent greater than the importation, being $338,600,000, against $259,500,000. The imports of manufactures in 1899 were nearly $100,000,000 less than in 1890, while exports of manufactures were nearly $200,000,000 more than in 1890. As the Treasury Bureau of Statistics says, manufactures in 1899 formed a larger percentage of our total exports than in any preceding year. During the last half of the year this was especially true, in some months the exports of manufactures being more than 33 per cent of the total exports, while for the entire year they were 28.13 per cent of the total exports, against 26.87 per cent in 1897, 23.14 per cent in 1895, 21.14 per cent in 1894, 19.37 per cent in 1891, 18.99 per cent in 1889, 16.69 per cent in 1883 and 12.48 per cent in 1880. During the last half of the fiscal year 1899 exports of manufactures averaged fully $30,000,000 per month and during the entire year averaged more than $1,000,000 for each business day. JARED SMITH, one of the grass experts of the Department of Agriculture, states that the Department has received some seeds which may prove interesting to Western farmers. They are mostly from the arid regions of Siberia and Russian Turkestan, a country in many respects resembling the arid regions of the West. Among them are hairy vetch, which is drought and also cold resistant, a variety of winter rye which is especially hardy and drought resistant oats and two or three kinds We had quite an adventure early week ago. It must have been midnight when I was aroused by being steps in the creek. I had much lions and bears that I insisted it to be either one or other. I feel sorry that I cannot lighten you on the subject, but caution with bravery, and after tied the tent door securely, I will under the bedclothes until they had passed away. Still I could plainly what a time Cargill having. Several feminine shrieked in chorus, and the genius of the household were so rash as clare they would kill the wild should he venture nearer. For the sake of the ladies I try to shoot the animal should be aggerear. He came again for night, but I think I dropped as soon as I heard him. How shall have no mercy on him next? This evening nearly all of them are invited by Mr. Taggart to a moonlight picnic at his home. Almost every one at the spring more or less, and we often have nades at different camps. The arrival of mail three weeks is considered an occured forward to with interest; this will serve as a hint to those who promised to write, but "had time." There is very little water brook now, but a short walk brink to the sulphur springs, where it if not quality, and a little creek is a very good iron spike. We lead a lazy life here; we want to sleep whenever like it; in fact, do exactly as we like it; in fact, do exactly as we two tarantulas have been since we came one by a woman slaughtered it after throwing in able stones. But all the world, the male part of it knows a cannot throw straight! The only accident that has occurred to little Elsie lung last week. While light fire her dress caught, and she could extinguish it one hand very burnered. Well, I do not wish to write a letter that you will grow reading it, and I think I have everything of importance, so close for the present. Aug. 25 Stuart Cargill, Mertz Schumacher and Mr. Taggart a hunting trip. They return night with 105 doves and a deer grill shooting the deer. So we game in camp. Messrs Isabel and Russell Fletcher were here for a week, all enjoyed their presence and ted their departure. County Recorder Scott and Clerk Beckett were here last to visit their families, but we pelled to return on account business. John Kirby from Yorba here a few days, and will prob main another week. There are a number of camps way up the creek, and there go every day. The days seem to pass very with trips up the creek after five walks over the mountains; an energetic laziness in hamm swinging chairs; and the even The books will show whether we do or not. April 23, 1898, we purchased 15 cents' worth of refined lubricating oil (valvolene) at the power-house, the lubricating oil theretofore purchased gumming our presses and proving unsatisfactory. After that, on April 10th of this year, we purchased another 15 cents' worth of this oil, another kind of lubricating oil used in the meantime proving unsatisfactory. In both instances the oil was paid for. Here is 30 cents' worth of oil purchased by us from the city in a year and four months. On June 11, 1898, City Clerk Nebelung purchased 15 cents' worth of this oil, and on July 24th of this year got another 25 cents' worth; a total of 40 cents' worth in a year and two months. This was all the lubricating oil sold by the city in this time, and is rather a small affair to be dignified into a topic of newspaper discussion. So far as the inaccuracies of the Clerk's books are concerned, as indicated in the item here reproduced from the Times, there is of course nothing in it. The accounts are accurately kept: there is a separate "oil account," which it will be seen has amounted to 70 cents in a period of over a year, and the same can be turned to at a moment's notice. The city also accommodates residents of the town by selling them crude oil when they need it. Thus, on Sept. 12, 1898, the books show that Henry Albrecht purchased 55 cents of crude oil, which was the only amount of this oil sold during the past year. The valvolene is a refined mineral oil, and costs the city between 60 and 65 cents by the barrel. The city sells it to those in need of it (when it cannot be procured elsewhere in town) at 75 cents per gallon. The interests of the municipality are thus protected, the individual is accommodated, and no local dealer in oil is harmed. The matter is entirely too trivial to be the subject of any newspaper discussion, and only a man with a bad liver would conjure up any objection to it. The approaching session of the National irrigation Congress, which will convene at the city of Missoula, Montana, on September 25, for a three days' session, is apparently exciting more than ordinary attention, as the important work accomplished by this organi- JARED SMITH, one of the grass experts of the Department of Agriculture, states that the Department has received some seeds which may prove interesting to Western farmers. They are mostly from the arid regions of Siberia and Russian Turkestan, a country in many respects resembling the arid regions of the West. Among them are hairy vetch, which is drought and also cold resistant, a variety of winter rye which is especially hardy and drought resistant, oats, and two or three kinds of winter wheat. Most of these seeds are thought to be suitable to climates having extremes of temperature, and the Department is willing to supply free trial lots to farmers desiring to test them. Some of the Turkestan alfalfa, which is thought to be very drought resistant, is also available. CHARLEY EDELMAN, who was last year a candidate for State Treasurer in the Democratic convention, is now in San Francisco, an aspirant for the Democratic nomination for County Treasurer of that town. There is little doubt that Edelman came down to Orange for the express purpose of standing for the Democratic nomination for State Treasurer, and in the Democratic county convention had the battle of his life in getting the endorsement of the convention for that office. After the convention had indorsed Dan Baker for Lieutenant Governor, the delegates refused for a time to indorse Edelman, but his superior grade of politics told in his favor in the end, and when the convention adjourned Edelman had the coveted endorsement. He is without doubt one of the shrewdest politicians in the State, and he laid out his enemies in that convention to the queen's taste. A San Francisco paper prints the following concerning him: Charles Edelman, who has frequently been referred to in these columns as the friend of Senator Braunhart and a candidate for County Treasurer, this morning stated that he objected to being dubbed a carpetbagger. "It is true that some time ago I moved to an orange orchard and home I had established in the county of Orange. I only went there, however, on account of my wife's health. Now I have returned to this city, in which I have spent the best years of my life," he said. "Are you a candidate for Treasurer?" was asked. "Well, I would like to have the honor," replied Edelman in yearning tones. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plain makes the statement that she cold, which settled on her lute was treated for a month by her physician, but grew worse. Her she was a hopeless victim summation and that no medicine cure her. Her druggist suggest King's New Discovery for Citation; she bought a bottle and light found herself benefited first dose.

AN JUAN HOT SPRINGS. A Party of Temporary Sojourners are Enjoying Themselves. MISTRANO HOT SPRINGS, Aug. 22. EDITOR GAZETTE:—As I know you interested in all that interests us, I tell you how we pass the time at the hot springs. The drive on Capistrano is rather a dusty one, we enjoyed looking about us, so did mind that much. I should say we need, except when coming over the side, when at least one pair of eyes had steadfastly at the mountains on left, for there is a deep canyon on right-hand side, and the road that be wider. Our camp is a very pleasant one, unseame large oak trees. There are a number at the springs now, more are expected to arrive early September. There are several families camped on what is called the Mrs. Beckett with her two daughters, Mrs. Hammond and daughter, and Ms Kerns, all from Santa Ana. The rear side of the Flat is occupied by A. Cargill and his family. Across the rock are several other campers, among them Mrs. Nebelung and children. Either up this creek are still more, about half a mile away lives the United States forester, Mr. Taggart, his family. We manage to have a pretty good life; almost every one tries in some way to contribute to the general enjoyment. Last Saturday night we had a bonfire in the center of the Flat, all the campers gathered around. The feature of the evening was a dance, in which Uncle Cam Hays, I believe bails from Brookshurst, sungished himself. Then there was Virginia reel, and after that nuts for freshments. As music we had the guitar and mandolin, and after every one joined in singing the regular airs of the day and the old songs that most of us like best all. We had quite an adventure about a sk ago. It must have been about night when I was aroused by hearsteps in the creek. I had heard so much of lions and bears that I instantly nised it to be either one or the other. I feel sorry that I cannot entertain you on the subject, but I unite with bravery, and after I had CHAS. FEDERMAN & CO. Great Reduction in Prices Beginning Friday Sept. 1st.

I had heard so much of lions and bears that I instantly omitted it to be either one or the other. I feel sorry that I cannot enlist you on the subject, but I unite with bravery, and after I had entered the tent door securely, I withdrew the bedclothes until the steps passed away. Still I could hear the plainly what a time Cargill were being. Several feminine voices kicked in chorus, and the gentlemen the household were so rash as to deserve they would kill the wild beast he venture nearer. For the sake of the ladies, I decided shoot the animal should be again apparent. He came again the following night, but I think I dropped asleep soon as I heard him. However, I will have no mercy on him next time; this evening nearly all of the campers are invited by Mr. Taggart to have moonlight picnic at his home. Almost every one at the springs sings or less, and we often have serene days at the different camps. The arrival of the mail three times a week is considered an occurrence kicked forward to with interest. Hope is will serve as a hint to those friends who promised to write, but "haven't had time." There is very little water in the lake now, but a short walk brings us to sulphur springs, where is quantity if not quality, and a little way up the creek is a very good iron spring. We lead a lazy life here; eat when want to, sleep whenever we feel it; in fact, do exactly as we please. Two tarantulas have been killed since we came, one by a woman, who hungered it after throwing innumerable stones. But all the world, at least the male part of it, knows a woman not throw straight! The only accident that has occurred far happened to little Elsie Nebeng last week. While lighting the her dress caught, and before she did extinguish it one hand was severely burned. Well, I do not wish to write so long better that you will grow tired of doing it, and I think I have told you everything of importance, so I will see for the present. Aug. 25, 1899 Stuart Cargill, Mr. Hertzog, Mr. Humacher and Mr. Taggart went on hunting trip. They returned last night with 105 dogs and a deer, Carkell shooting the deer. So we all have time in camp. Messrs. Isabel and Russell from Los Metos were here for a week, and we enjoyed their presence and regretted their departure. County Recorder Scott and County Park Beckett were here last Sunday visit their families, but were compelled to return on account of court business. John Kirby from Yorba has been a few days, and will probably remain for another week. There are a number of campers all the way up the creek, and they come and go every day. The days seem to pass very quickly with trips up the creek after ferns andalks over the mountains, and then energetic laziness in hammocks and ringing chairs, and the evenings with cards and cards. I was discharged from the 3rd Artillery on the 6th of this month, a corporal of Battery H, and have re-enlisted in the 36th United States Volunteers of Infantry. It was first known as Major Bell's regiment and afterwards as the First U. S. Philippine Infantry of Veterans. Of course that was too long a name to last long, so it has been pruned down to the 36th. I am having a good and easy time of it now, and will soon visit some of the other organizations. At present we have nothing to do and nothing to do it with. Battery H is right at present. There is some kicking among the boys, because some have been discharged for the purpose of re-enlisting, while the others are obliged to wait until Otis gets good and ready to send them home. I like the country so well that I would rather re-enlist for two years more than go home, for I do think that if the 36th Regiment of Volunteers have a chance they will soon put an end to the war, and then there will be chances without end, and the Vet's will have the best of it; don't you think so? The Philippine girls? Well, all Filipinos look alike to me; there is not a bit of difference in any of them. The most peculiar thing about them is their dress. For footwear they have a block of wood with a strap tacked across it, and under which they put their toes. One loose skirt for a dress that as a rule has a gree-string, so that they can fasten it at the waist, and a loose and short little baggy thing through which one shoulder is always out. The cloth is not thicker than cheese cloth. If they wish to dress up, they wear a large kerchief about the neck which covers both shoulders. Most of the children have only a very short shirt and nothing more. One can see some boys and girls with nothing on but a smile. All of the natives are a dirty and shabby make-up. The more I see of them the less I think of them. I have as yet not seen a Filipino girl that I would call good-looking. Some of your farmers may kick because it rains there a little when it does rain, and there are others who kick because it don't rain more. After the Philippine Islands are annexed to the Union, it will rain there all summer if it is affecting Southern California as soon as all this. I will close for this time, and as soon as I know what my company will be I will write again and let you know. Am always glad to get papers. Will answer each one of your letters if possible. Fraternally yours, F. W. PALLAS. MANILA, P. I., July 24, 1899. I take pleasure in letting you know that I am in Company A of the 36th Regiment. Whenever you write hereafter be sure that you make no mistake in the company and regiment; then there will be no chance of non-delivery for Uncle Sam knows where the regiments and companies are. So, even if my company and I are on some other island, it will surely reach me, even if it is addressed to Manila. Well, we are having a great time getting ready for action. Everything is new in the line of equipment. Several sergeants have been made second lieutenants, and I think that they will all make good officers for they know more of field service than most of the West Pointers. Two or three days ago I mailed you one of the Manila newspapers. Please let me know if you get it. For the last few days it has been very wet and rainy, and somehow I was discharged from the 3rd Artillery on the 6th of this month, a corporal of Battery H, and have re-enlisted in the 36th United States Volunteers of Infantry. It was first known as Major Bell's regiment and afterwards as the First U. S. Philippine Infantry of Veterans. Of course that was too long a name to last long, so it has been pruned down to the 36th.

Most of the children have only a very short shirt and nothing more. One can see some boys and girls with nothing on but a smile. All of the natives are a dirty and shabby make-up.

Fraternally yours, F. W. PALLAS. MANILA, P. I., July 24, 1899. I take pleasure in letting you know that I am in Company A of the 36th Regiment. Whenever you write hereafter be sure that you make no mistake in the company and regiment; then there will be no chance of non-delivery for Uncle Sam knows where the regiments and companies are. So, even if my company and I are on some other island, it will surely reach me, even if it is addressed to Manila. Well, we are having a great time getting ready for action. Everything is new in the line of equipment. Several sergeants have been made second lieutenants, and I think that they will all make good officers for they know more of field service than most of the West Pointers. Two or three days ago I mailed you one of the Manila newspapers. Please let me know if you get it. For the last few days it has been very wet and rainy, and somehow I was discharged from the 3rd Artillery on the 6th of this month, a corporal of Battery H, and have re-enlisted in the 36th United States Volunteers of Infantry. It was first known as Major Bell's regiment and afterwards as the First U. S. Philippine Infantry of Veterans. Of course that was too long a name to last long, so it has been pruned down to the 36th. I am having a good and easy time of it now, and will soon visit some of the other organizations. At present we have nothing to do and nothing to do it with. Battery H is right at present. There is some kicking among the boys, because some have been discharged for the purpose of re-enlisting, while the others are obliged to wait until Otis gets good and ready to send them home. I like the country so well that I would rather re-enlist for two years more than go home, for I do think that if the 36th Regiment of Volunteers have a chance they will soon put an end to the war,and then there will be chances without end,and the Vet's will have the best of it; don't you think so? The Philippine girls? Well, all Filipinos look alike to me; there is not a bit of difference in any of them. The most peculiar thing about them is their dress. For footwear they have a block of wood with a strap tacked across it, and under which they put their toes.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Ill., makes the statement, that she caught old, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from the first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself bound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great discovery at Paul A. Derge's drug store. Only 50 cents and $1.00, every bottle guaranteed. "Where." asked the female-suffrageator, "would man be today what it not for woman?" She paused a moment and looked round the hall. "I repeat." she said, where would man be today were it not for woman?

Department of Agriculture, California Section, Climate and Crop Service, Weather Bureau, August 28. General summary: The temperature has been nearly normal along the coast, but has continued several degrees below in the interior and in portions of Southern California. Light rain fell in Humboldt county. Warmer weather is needed to mature and increase the percentage of sugar in raisin grapes, which are now considerably late in ripening; it is reported that the first crop of raisins will be light and deficient in sugar. Late deciduous fruits are maturing favorably and the crop is very large. Canning and drying are progressing and heavy shipments are being made. Figs of excellent quality are in market; the yield is abundant. Citrus fruits are looking well; there will probably be a large crop of oranges. Walnuts are filling out rapidly and promise well. Almonds are yielding well in the Sacramento valley. Hop picking has commenced in some sections; there will be a large crop. Grain harvest continues in some localities, being retarded by a scarcity of labor and machinery. The yield of wheat and barley is said to be far above all early estimates. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Fruit: Table grapes are becoming plentiful. The yield of deciduous fruits is comparatively light, but the quality is excellent; good prices prevail. There will be a large crop of guavas. Oranges promise well. Grapes are thrifty. The water supply is holding out very good. Minor crops: Walnuts are filling out nicely. Beets are small, but of excellent quality; fair crop in some sections. Los Angeles summary: Summer crops were benefited by continued cool weather and foggy nights, though ripening of fruit retarded. Table grapes are ripe, but raisin variety will be late. Prune harvest begins soon. Eureka Summary: Weather continues favorable for crops, particularly beets, corn and potatoes.

Inquiries from Hamburg, Germany, indicate that there is a growing demand for California dried fruits in that country. Exportations of raisins to Germany have been especially heavy this season. The correspondent states that the demand grows out of the California exhibit at the Hamburg exposition of, 1897. Besides the above the Chamber of Commerce has received a letter from Quarantine Officer Alexander Craw of the Board of Horticulture at San Francisco, which states that an effort is being made to form a new United States quarantine bill to place before Congress next session, the object of which will be to prevent the introduction into this country of infected trees, plants and fruits. A similar bill failed to pass the last Congress, Eastern nurserymen defeating it by strong opposition. The matter is one that deeply affects California and our home concerns are prepared to make a strong fight to get the bill through. California wishes to prevent the importation from Mexico of the Morales orange worm, and, while a State law protects this State, the fight will be made to prevent the introduction of such infection into any part of the United States.
