LOS ALAMITOS. Quite a Pretentious Town Springing up Near the Sugar Factory. The town of Los Alamitos is situate on the west side of Orange county, five and one-fourth miles north from Anaheim Landing (this has been measured three or four times), and nine and one-half miles from Long Beach. The Los Alamitos Sugar Cor's factory, of which W. A. Clark is President; J. Ross Clark, Vice President and Manager; Arthur Wellington Jones, Secretary and Book Keeper, and Guy S. Dyer, Superintendent, is located here. The factory was built in time to handle the beet crop of 1897, when about 35,000 tons of beets were run through the mill in little less than 100 days. In 1898 the capacity of the factory was doubled (to 700 tons per day of 24 hours), but the crop was very short and the run was only 15 days. This year the factory commenced running on Monday, Aug. 28th, but on Wednesday morning a coupling on the main shaft broke, which made a delay till I p.m. At 6 p.m. that (Wednesday) evening, on account of shortage in lime, it again shut down, and did not grind any beets till Friday evening, since which time all things seem to be running smoothly. Although this is the second dry year, the beet crop is good, the farmers in most cases finding they will have a far larger tonnage than they expected. The percentage of sugar in the beets, together with the purity, is keeping well up. The basis of price is $3.50 for beets going 12 per cent sugar and 80 per cent purity, very few going below that, and a number are even going up as high as 20 per cent sugar and 90 per cent purity, which gives a price of $5.50 per ton. The minimum price is for beets of 10 per cent sugar and 75 per cent purity, and is $1.75 per ton. All going below this are rejected, though the factory according to contract, pays 50 cents per ton for them. This does not pay the farmer for tapping and hauling them, and they would rather keep them for stock feed, getting $2.50 per ton as they grow, tops and all. The Bixby Land company, of which Jotham Bixby is President; George H. Bixby, Vice President, and G. A. Mohrenstecher, Secretary, have their principal office here. Mr. Mohrenstecher has charge of all the company's business here, including the townsite, and will always be found ready to give information to all enquirers with regard to land and raising of beets. He always seems to be happiest on pay days when he is handling out checks to the drummed up enough business to pay for the cigars they have smoked. The First Congregational church of Los Alamitos is presided over by Rev. J. F. Brown, who came here from Mojave last spring. The Laurel school district is under the management of Trustees A. B Cresse, G. A. Mohrenstecher and J.-W Watts. The school was built in time for holding school last year, at a cost of about $4000, and was presided over by Miss Ida M. Jones, principal, and Miss Emily M. Secgmiller in the primary department. They have been re-elected for the present session, which commenced Monday, Sept. 11th. Mrs. Hattie L. Mohrenstecher was appointed by Governor Gage last June as notary public for this corner of Orange county. James L. Elazzi, who has been worthy and efficient Superintendent of Agriculture for the Bixby Land company since they commenced operations here in December, 1897, leaves them at the close of the present campaign, and will take up a similar position with the FINED FOR WINNING A Cause New Skin Anita Cream Is a cure for all discolorations of the skin.

This elated me much, for I was not aware at that that the case had been refused by the other lawyers in town, as being a horse thief was not a thing desired if a man valued his life." "The case came to trial before judge and a jury composed of bereaved ranchers. There was no reason that the man was guilty, but he number of friends who were with swear to anything, and I thought was my duty to make the best use of them. They were all with swear that the defendant was away from the spot when she was stolen, and the prosecution unable to break down their test." I saw that I was going to file client, so it was with a satisfiest that I saw the jury leaving the court to prepare their verdict.

There is no greater irony than a recommendation of change of climate to those whose circumstances make change of climate impossible. How many sufferer in such a case has wistfully watched the flight of the south-seeking birds, and cried with the Psalmist, "Oh that I had wings." But suppose you can fit the lungs to the climate instead of fitting the climate to the lungs. That is what has been found possible by those who have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It so purifies the blood, removing the clogged and poisonous conditions favorable to disease, that the whole body is strengthened. With new strength comes new power, and disease is resisted and thrown off. There is no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant contained in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "I feel that I owe a debt of gratitude to you for preparing such grand remedies, for chronic diseases especially, which the doctors failed to reach," writes L.B. Staples, Esq., of Barclay, Osage Co., Kansas. "I am a railroad agent, and four years ago my work keeping me in a warm room and stepping out frequently into the cold air gave me bronchitis, which became chronic and deep seated. Doctors failed to reach my case and advised me to try a higher air, but, fortunately for me, a friend also advised me to try Dr. Pierce's medicines. I commenced taking your 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and by the time I had taken the first bottle I was better, and after taking about four bottles my cough was entirely gone. This was a year ago last winter; and again last winter I took about three bottles to prevent a return of the trouble. I have found no necessity for seeking another climate." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are powerful aids to the cleansing of the clogged system. By all dealers in medicine. A Georgia Bill of Fare.

When I graduated from the law school," said the old lawyer, with a diminished smile, "I took Horace Greeks advice and went west. I located a little town that then was on the outlier and waited with the confidence of youth for clients. Before I had fairly opened my office was retained to defend a man for killing a horse. This elated me very much, for I was not aware at the time that the case had been refused by all other lawyers in town, as defendant a horse thief was not a thing to be hired if a man valued his life. The case came to trial before an old judge and a jury composed of bewhliskered ranchers. There was no doubt that the man was guilty, but he had a number of friends who were willing to hear to anything, and I thought it was my duty to make the best possible defense of them. They were all willing to hear that the defendant was 40 miles away from the spot when the horse was stolen, and the prosecution was unable to break down their testimony. I saw that I was going to free my client, so it was with a satisfied air that I saw the jury leaving the room to prepare their verdict. They were back in five minutes, and the old judge asked them if they had succeeded in arriving at a verdict. "We hev,' answered the foreman, as shifted the gun he carried on his back. 'We find the defendant not guilty; recommend the defendant's lawyer, in to his youth an innocence, to the mercy of the court.'

A GREAT WRESTLER. Is Encounter With the Czar and His Ignoble Reward. One of the stories of Peter the Great which are current at the court of St. Petersburg is of the great czar’s wrestling match with a young dragonon. Once in the imperial palace—so the story goes—Peter was at table with great many princes and noblemen, and soldiers were posted within the hall. The czar was in a joyous mood, rising, called out to the company: listen, princes and boyars! Is there anyone you one will wrestle with the czar?"

I made up my mind that I could not be cured as I had used all kinds of medicine and had tried many doctors. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and commenced their use last September. Before I had finished my first box I felt better, and by the time I had used six boxes the disease had entirely disappeared, and I have not been so free from pain since I was a boy.

A Encounter With the Czar and His Ignoble Reward. One of the stories of Peter the Great which are current at the court of St. Petersburg is of the great czar's wrestling match with a young dragon. In the imperial palace—so the story goes—Peter was at table with great many princes and noblemen, and soldiers were posted within the hall. The czar was in a joyous mood, rising, called out to the company: eldest, princes and boyars! Is there anyone you one will wrestle with the czar? There was no reply, and the czar repeated the challenge. No prince or nobleman dared to wrestle with his sovereign. But all at once a young dragon stepped out on the ranks of the soldiers on guard. "Listen, Orthodox czar," he said. "I will wrestle with them." Well, young dragon," said Peter. "I will wrestle with thee, but on these conditions: If thou throwest me, I willordon tree; but, if thou art thrown, you shalt be beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those conditions?" "I will, great czar," said the soldier. They closed, and presently the soldier with his left arm threw the czar and with his right he prevented him from falling to the ground. The sovereign was clearly beaten. The czar offered the soldier whatever reward he should palm, and he ignobly claimed the privilege of drinking free, as long as he lived, in all the lans belonging to the crown. What became of him history does not say. Odd Names of Maryland Farms. The curious names given to tracts of land by the owners in old times are illustrated in a conveyance encounter by a clerk in the record office recently while engaged in reorganizing the indexes. The deed in question is recorded in Liber W. G., No. 60, follo- it. It was executed in 1750 and con-veyed from Joshua Stevenson to Rich- ed Gettings five tracts of land in Bal- more county, the consideration being 100. The name of each tract and its dimensions are as follows: My Sweet Girl, My Friend and Pitcher, 62 acres; Here Is Life Without Care and Love Without Fear, 41¼ acres; The Unex-ected Discovery, 262 acres; Hug Meug, 15 acres, and Stevenson's Cow Pasture, With Little I am Content, 22 acres.-Baltimore Sun.

EDITOR GAZETTE:- I have noticed of late quite a number of earnest-looking men on our streets, and most of them seemed to be moving in one direction. I found that many of them were farmers, come to attend what they called an "Institute." They got together to talk about farming, fruit growing and such things. I wonder why they did this; some of them were pretty old hands at these kinds of work. Did they come together to tell what they do know, or what they want to know? Didn't they know all about farming and fruit growing before they began to plow and plant? It seemed, however, that some of them thought that they had several things to learn even yet. I found, too, that both university and college sent professors to teach these experienced cultivators of the soil what to do and how to do it. Then I said to myself, if it is worth while for colleges to send professors to teach these grey-headed farmers, why not get somebody to come and teach these things to our boys before they quit school to begin to farm? Hundreds of our boys will have to farm, although they would rather be doctors or merchants. I wonder if there is anything about seeds and soils, climate and water and fertilizers, and the general fitness of things that would be well for our boys to know, and so prevent many of them from making the mistakes that so disappointed, dispirited and often impoverished their fathers? We are hearing a good deal just now about qualifications of teachers. Some things that we hear may be wise, but certainly some are otherwise. Some may be amused and others amazed to hear some of our student chickens, who just show their pin feathers, crow with the loudness and assurance of full-grown roosters. It looks as if there was a big screw loose somewhere. I wonder if there is any way of teaching our young folks to know what they are best fitted for, and then help them to acquire that fitness? This would prevent a good many round pegs from getting into square holes. It would prevent a good deal of wobbling. Of course it is a grand thing for boy or girl to say I have studied thisology and that osophy, and here is my diploma; but, as a rule, business men today do not ask for the size of the diploma, or its worth as a work of art. The practical question today everywhere is, "What can you do?" and we want to train our young people so that they shall be able to give a satisfactory answer to that question. It may be one thing to go to school, but another thing to be educated. Not every teacher is an educator. Education is not cramming, teaching may be. Our young people after years of schooling may read Virgil or Xenophon with the help of a dictionary, may know a lot about algebraic signs and learnedtheorems, etc., may look good in a new suit of clothes, that somebody's hard ungloved hands and aching limbs have had to work hard for, and pronounce an oration and receive a diploma. Then they have to face the question, "What can you do?" True education will be a proper pre- CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Cha- ttler Flattener Odd Things In Whisky Making. “There are lots of queer things about the whisky business,” said an expert the other night, “and one of the queer- est is the peculiar quality that a distillery, for no apparent cause, will lend to its output. The thing has never been explained, but nevertheless. It's an undeniable fact. I knew a distiller who sold his old plant and moved to a more desirable locality, where he tried to put up an exact duplicate. He even went so far as to smash a couple of windows that happened to be broken in the old establishment, but it was no go; he couldn't make the same kind of whisky to save his soul. “This same difficulty has destroyed the usefulness of many a valuable brand. Another singular phenomenon is the impossibility of making a good Bourbon whisky east of Kentucky as a good rye west of the Alleghanies. I speak in broad terms. Apparently the feat has been accomplished a few times, but investigation has always developed the fact that the makers of seaboard Bourbon were of blue grass origin and the chaps who succeeded in turning out an inland rye were aliens from the east. A real Kentucky colonel will not touch rye He considers it almost as deleterious as water.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Almost Got Its Name. Communication had been established at last with Mars.

It was believed that every good man thus protected his wife and children and his home. It is now known there is nothing in the lightning rod theory; a lightning rod is no protection against lightning, and there was never any danger from lightning, anyhow. But a lot of other fool theories are still accepted. If we have at last acquired a little sense in the lightning bearer’s signature so satisfactory to the grower f.o.b., it is not so sad as the jobber as consignment but it would seem to be a misfire between two.

A handsome young fellow stood at the glove counter of a large store the other day and fairly hypnotized the four girl attendants. He had a word for one, a smile for another, a wink for a third and a knick for the fourth—by far the pretest of the quartet. The floral offering was too much for the pinkless three, and they all turned in the radiant recipient of the flower. "Say, Nellie Norries, you're too flesh! Ain't you got a nerve? Flirting that way with a stranger." "Oh, go on!" laughed the shameless me. "Tain't my fault if you thinks me the prettiest." The young man laughed gayly. "That's so," he said. "And you are so." He was a silly young man. For the trio now attacked him with hostile bitterness. "Say, mister, you'd better get your mange and go before the floorwalker comes around. You'll get that poor girl discharged, and that'll be a nice thing, when her father drinks and her mother's is the hospital." "Nellie" turned on them like a fury. "Don't you tell no lies about me," she said fiercely. "or for two pins I'll tell what you said about the floorwalker. You talk to me all you like, young man." But the young man had fled before the storm that he had so foolishlyimented—Cincinnati Enquirer. No Use For the Alligator. The colored prisoners in the penitentiary are acquainted with the habits of crocodiles and fully realize that they relish a pleckaninny. Under these circumstances they are not anxious to make the acquaintance of a crocodile that inhabits the fountain of the prison. The other day one of them who had committed some offense was taken to the cellar to be punished. After he had been blindfolded one of the men called out to the other, "Keep that alligator back or he will bite this man." That caused the colored man to commence to plead, and he said, "Fo' de Lord, Mr. Deputy, ef youse let me go, I'll neber come back ag'in." "But you told me that the other time," replied the deputy. "But dis is de time I tells you de truf, and neber will come back ag'in." On leaving the tub he declared that the animal had bitten him a few times, notwithstanding the fact that the crocodile had been in the fountain all the time. The colored man has kept his word up to date, but he is liable to soon forget the lesson of the crocodile that is the deadly enemy of the colored men in the south.—Columbus Dispatch.

Lightning Rods. There was a time when every house had a lightning rod. It was believed that every good man thus protected his wife and children and his home. It is now known there is nothing in the lightning rod theory; a lightning rod is no protection against lightning. And there was never any danger from lightning, anyhow. But a lot of other fool theories are still accepted. If we have at last acquired a little sense in the lightning rod particular, why not in other respects? Why continue to accept other silly notions? Why advertise ourselves as fools by accepting the prejudices of fools?—Atchlson Globe. A WONDERFUL CURE OF DIARRHOEA. A Prominent Virginia Editor Had Almost Given Up, but Was Brought Back to Perfect Health by Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Read His Editorial, from the Times, Hillstille, Virginia. I suffered from diarrhoea for a long time and thought I was past being cured. I had spent much time and money and suffered so much misery that I had almost decided to give up all hopes of recovery and await the result, but noticeing the advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and also some testimonials stating how some wonderful cures had been wrought by this remedy. I decided to try it. After taking a few doses I was entirely well of that trouble, and I wish to say further to my readers and fellow sufferers that I am a hale and hearty man today and feel as well as I ever did in my life.—O. R. Moore Sold by P. A. Derge. Porter and Earl handled fruits during the summer fruits during the citrus season. Southern California Fruit successfully handles citrus their season, and I see no might not as successful culinary fruits through that organization has so chinney for the purpose new to withstand during the summer—the growers were to force changes throughout Central California, and ship agency that serves them in the southern exchange a to compete, the result wholesome check upon the shippers and of advantage dutry. The Southern California change has been doing a very business in recent years done so always, but it has centently attached to its management. As condition continues (unless scrimped) the exchange wperous, but as soon as each it comes to feel that he coe the Eastern end better than well-trained management will go to pieces. It seems to me that a syx exchanges in Northern California might easily avail the Eastern machinery of California Fruit exchange via the necessity of educ cost, a new set of men and risk of not developing them at all.—A. J. Pillsbury Register. Our Fruits In the East. Continued from First page. and the system of shipping on consignment. The f. o. b. California system has much in its favor. It enables the grower to know just what he is to receive for his fruit and relieves him of risks of transit; bad weather on arrival at destination, etc. It may be called the growers' method of selling. But from the jobber's point of view there are objections to it, except the market be a rising one and opportunity is offered for a speculation. The jobber clearly loves to back his judgment against that of a grower on a prospective market. The jobber, under this system, has to trust the packer and shipper for the quality and condition of the fruit he is to receive and this he takes into account in offering a price. It involves a longer use of his money than he likes and that tends to lower the price that he will pay. Finally it tends to turn the jobber toward seeking consignments from other sources of supply more to his advantage and the California grower cannot afford to unnecessarily antagonize the eastern jobber whose power is of no mean proportions. The consignment system is the jobber's method of handling the fruit and, strange as it may appear, nearly all the eastern product is still marketed in that way. The growers take all the risk under this method, the jobbers none, and among the risks the grower takes is that of not receiving a square deal from the jobber. It is an exceedingly honest jobber who cannot find enough bad fruit in a car to warrant a deduction to cover a mistake in judgment or a slump in the market. It is in strife for business between brokers to whom goods have been consigned, sometimes by the same shipper who has divided a car between them, that competition becomes of the cutthroat quality. The selling delivered system is not so satisfactory to the grower as the f. o. b., and it is not so satisfactory to the jobber as the consignment system, but it would seem to be a fair compromise between the two. It eliminates the element of speculation. The fruit sells for what inspection shows it to be as to quality and for what it is then worth in market. If the central office of the shipper has kept itself informed it knows what the fruit is worth as well as the jobber and both are doing a safe business. This ought to be satisfactory to both, for the farmer makes a poor speculator, and the jobber, by having everything his own way, has rendered unhealthy if he has not quite killed the California goose that laid CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his personal supervision since its infancy.

What has been said heretofore has been more of the nature of the consensus of opinion of agents, representatives of shippers and jobbers, than of personal opinions of the writer but, in view of the talk in growers' circles of forming a deciduous fruit exchange, I feel warranted in offering some conclusions of my own, based upon such observations as I have been able to make during my recent pilgrimage through the fruit markets of the country. As stated above, to my mind an ideally perfected mechanism for marketing California fruits would be a great corporation composed of business men and heads by a skilled man of ability, such corporation being disposed to conduct the business with good faith and return to the grower all the net returns above a fair compensation for services rendered. This is perhaps too much to be hoped for, but no instrumentality can be successful in the performance of that service which does not possess most of the attributes of these big shipping firms. Their business is systematized to a high degree. For instance, every person in possession of discretionary powers is held to an accountability in black and white for what he does or advises. If one wishes the opinion of another across the table, he addresses a letter to him asking for it and receives a letter in reply, the copies and originals of both being kept on file. Upon two occasions that came under my observation, cars shipped by the Porter concern arrived at their destination without manifests, and delay was encountered in getting the fruit into auction; but every one of Earl's agents is supplied with copies of the manifests of all the cars shipped into his part of the Union, so that wherever a car may be diverted the manifest is there ahead of it and no delay occasioned. I mention these instances to show the degree of systematization requisite. If I were to advise the formation of a fruit exchange system for handling the deciduous fruits of Central California, it would be upon condition of tendering Mr. Earl or some other gentleman equally experienced and able, a salary of $20,000 or more a year to head the enterprise and manage it. In the very nature of things, any cooperative association of growers must be, so far as its Eastern affairs are concerned, co-operative as to benefits, but highly centralized and autocratic as to management at the selling end of the line. To pack goods honestly and well, to grade them resolutely—any number of growers can organize to do that and then forward their pack to Eastern agencies, but when it comes to having the state of the market at finger touch, to withstand the aggressions of the jobbers, yet keep their friendship and get their business, to know whom to trust and whom not to, when to sell Anaheim Bakery, PETER SYRE, PROPRIETOR.

It is a true saying that "the best laid schemes of men and mice oft gang agley." We are told that a lady who does not live a hundred miles from Orange, when coming down a very narrow mountain trail recently by burro express, had this exemplified. To preserve her nice summer hat from being damaged by branches and projecting rocks, she fastened it carefully to the rear of her saddle. When she emerged from the trail her hat was missing. The burro in the rear had eaten it.

Porter and Earl handle deciduous fruits during the summer and citrus fruits during the citrus season. The Southern California Fruit exchange successfully handles citrus fruits in their season, and I see no reason why it might not as successfully handle deciduous fruits through their season. That organization has some good machinery for the purpose not fully occupied during the summer months. If the growers were to form local exchanges throughout Central and Northern California, and ship through the agency that serves them best, giving the southern exchange a good chance to compete, the result might be a wholesome check upon the corporation shippers and of advantage to the industry. The Southern California Fruit exchange has been doing a very prosperous business in recent years. It has not done so always, but it has more recently attached to its management East and West a few strong personalities, and the fact, which appears to be undoubted, that they get the grower a larger net return than any other selling agency, seems to reconcile the local exchanges to a perpetuation of the management. As long as this condition continues (unless salaries are serpent) the exchange will be prosperous, but as soon as each member in it comes to feel that he could manage the Eastern end better than the present well-trained managements the institution will go to pieces. It seems to me that a system of local exchanges in Northern and Central California might easily avail itself of the Eastern machinery of the Southern California Fruit exchange and thus obviate the necessity of educating, at vast cost, a new set of men and running the risk of not developing the right talent at all.—A.
