Fish, a progressive and respected resident of Cape Vincent, N.Y., said: "The doctors disagreed in my case, one said I had the grip, another that it was jaundice, and so on. I tried many remedies but did not receive the slightest benefit. I was low spiritied and nervous and had become reduced in weight from 155 pounds to less than 123. One day a friend recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I tried them and the result was indeed marvelous. My appetite returned and I began to feel rested and restored. At the end of the tenth box my physical condition was better than it had been for years and I was a well man. HERBERT M. FISH." Sworn to and subscribed before me this 17th day of Nov., 1898. LLOYD O.

The Department of Agriculture Importing Plants Adapted to Dry Regions. As the years roll by the country will see millions of dollars saved to the farmers of the West and millions more made. The advocates of irrigation for the West claim that the carrying out of their proposition would create a vast empire where is now the Great American Desert. Seventy million acres of arid land is the amount estimated by the geological survey as susceptible of irrigation with the present surface water supply of the arid region. "This utilization of all Western waters would increase the arable area of the United States less than 10 per cent," said F. V. Coville, the Chief of the Division of Botany of the Department of Agriculture, "and while it would open up a new channel of vast possibilities, I think that we are working along lines which will add almost as much to the nation's development as would the storage and utilization of all her Western waters. What can a work of such magnitude be? Why, the finding and introduction of plants adapted to the hundreds of millions of acres of land of the arid belt which must always remain arid even after every drop of water has been conserved by means of storage reservoirs and otherwise. Although the opening up to settlement through irrigation of between 70,000,000 and 100,000,000 acres of land would create thousands if not millions of homes, yet there will always remain these vast tracts of arid and semi-arid grazing lands which, while useless for most crops, will produce certain plants GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. Astonishing Increase of Population—Notable Gains in Orange County. A recent compilation of figures relative to California's growth during the past decade shows the wonderful advancement of the southern counties, especially during the last five years. Orange stands second only to Los Angeles in the percentage of gain, far eclipsing the other five counties, and in fact being second in percentage of gain in all the counties of the State. A tabulation of the population of the State by counties, in 1894 and 1899, shows the following totals: 1894...1,348,532 1895...1,505,407 Net gain in the State...156,874 The tabulation (the work of that eminent statistician, L. M. Holt) shows a loss in fifteen northern counties, namely, Alpine, Colusa, Glenn Lake, Madera, Napa, Nevada, Plumas, San Benito, Sierra, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tehama, Tulare and Yolo. The total loss in these counties is 8,199. Next is given the population of the seven southern counties for 1894 and 1899, all of which show gains: Counties...1894...1899 Los Angeles...130,853...190,125 Orange...19,174...24,368 Riverside...18,262...20,636 San Bersardino...24,944...28,449 San Diego...33,078...58,815 Santa Barbara...19,673...21,487 Ventura...14,581...16,310 Totals...260,515...337,190 Here we have an increase of 76,675 in five years, while during that same period the increase in all the remainder of the State was only 80,200. There are other features of interest in connection with the growth of California as illustrated by these estimates on the school census. The total number of census children in the State in 1898 and 1899 were as follows: POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY Sessions to Be Held Today and Tomorrow at the Opera-house—Program of Exercises.

It will grow heavy grain yields where it is both too cold and too dry for Indian corn, too cold for Kaffir corn (which would otherwise compete with it) and too dry for wheat. It will produce 30, 40 and even 50 bushels per acre of grain excellent for converting into hog fat, mutton or beef, and this upon land where ordinary crops cannot live. The man who has 10 acres under irrigation, and owns adjacent thereto a tract of arid land, will want such crops." "Kaffir corn itself is an example of what the proper crop will do for a locality. Ten years ago this plant was an experiment in the United States. It was said to thrive on land too dry for Indian corn, and it was tested through Western Kansas, where corn raising was a precarious industry owing to the light rainfall. According to the report of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, Kansas raised in 1893 47,000 acres of this crop; in 1898 it raised 535,743 acres, valued at $5,688,380—a reclamation practically of half a million acres in a single State. Entire western counties are now yielding magnificent annual crops of this valuable plant which, prior to its introduction, consisted of supposed worthless land. Brome grass (Bromus inermis) is another instance of a fine arid-land plant which required pushing. Brome grass will undoubtedly reclaim enormous areas of arid land. No grass will grow without moisture, but where most grasses would die brome grass will simply stand still and wait until moisture comes, when it will immediately start off, producing splendid forage. This grass has been known in several counties. Here we have an increase of 76,675 in five years, while during that same period the increase in all the remainder of the State was only 80,200. There are other features of interest in connection with the growth of California as illustrated by these estimates on the school census. The total number of census children in the State in 1898 and 1899 were as follows: 1898: 347,624 1899: 359,125 Gain in one year: 2,501 We find this entire gain right here in a solid block in Southern California, as follows: Counties: 1898, 1899, Gain. Los Angeles: 42,043, 44,215, 2,172 Orange: 5,429, 5,667, 228 Riverside: 4,710, 4,799, 89 San Bernardino: 6,528, 6,616, 88 Totals: 58,710, 61,297, 2,587 The entire increase in the State is found in the three counties of Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside—lacking only two children—the increase in these three counties being 2499—only 2 short of the 2501 increase in the entire State. A series of tables from 1850 to date proves the growth of Southern California has been steady during that period, and that whereas in 1850 the southern end of the State contained less than 4 per cent of its population, the proportion is now increased to 22 per cent: Date: State Soil Percent 1850: 128,301 5,814 6.45 1850: 379,994 24,751 6.45 1850: 560,947 32,052 5.72 1850: 864,532 64,787 7.44 1850: 1,263,969 200,407 16.64 1850: 1,505,407 337,190 22.39 The last column in the above table shows the ratio of the population of Southern California to that of the State. Six reasons are given which readily account for the ascendancy of Southern California: First—It has a climate that is unexcelled in any part of the world to attract the invalid, and any climate that is good for the invalid is very good for a well man. Second—It has two transcontinental railroads that are reaching out to every corner of this section just as fast as those sections are developed—and a little faster in many cases. Third—More railroads are coming, or at least one more will reach us from Salt Lake City before the close of the century—and that is not a great way off. Fourth—We number among our citizens many men who are built on the broad-gauge, progressive plan—such men as built a Chicago—such men as built the United States—and they have the ability and the disposition to build a Southern California, and they are doing it. Fifth—The products of the soil here bring more dollars per acre than they do anywhere else in the United States. sixth—The fact is we are growing—and he who fails to invest his money on that basis is the one who will make the miss.

The public is cordially invited attend.Admission free.Everybody come and hear an interesting program,and see the display of the products of the valley. Raisin Industry. There are sixty plants in California engaged in packing and seeding rains this season,the majority of which located in the Fresno district.The packing-houses furnish employment round numbers to 5000 hands,most whom are women and girls.Very few of these packing-houses employ than fifty,而 larger ones number from 200 to 250 on their payroll.The aggregate amount of money put out to these employees each month will approximate very nearly a quarter of million dollars while the packing-session lasts. The rains of the past two weeks have checked the delivery of rains The Nicaragua Canal. Captain McCalla of the Marblehead, now on this coast, gives some interesting figures regarding the value of the Nicaragua canal. Between New York and San Francisco the Marblehead steamed 16,086 miles. Had she, instead of going through the Straits of Magellan, gone from St. Lucia to San Francisco via the Nicaragua canal, the navigable distance would have been 8070 miles. The coal consumed amounted to 4189 tons. It is estimated that the canal route would have saved 2418 tons. The value of the coal thus saved, at the rates charged in South America, would have been $23,899.19. "I beg leave to add," says Captain McCalla, "that from a military point of view, the possibility of reinforcing the fleet in the Pacific or Atlantic by units from one or the other is of the greatest importance, and as the canal would enable us to more quickly reinforce the Pacific or Atlantic fleet, such a waterway would enable us to rest satisfied with a smaller navy than would be required without a canal, because the forces would be within closer supporting distance of each other than if they had to pass through the Straits of Magellan."

Olmsted, Le Roy, N.Y, Fifth—the products of the soil here bring more dollars per acre than they do anywhere else in the United States. Sixth—The fact is we are growing—and he who fails to invest his money on that basis is the one who will make the miss. Just as Tall as the Venus. The recognized perfection of a woman's stature is 5 feet 5 inches, the height of the Venetian Venus. The other accessories for physical perfection, according to the Arabic code, are: Black—Hair, eyebrows, lashes and pupils. White—Skin, teeth and globe of the eye. Red—Tongue, lips and cheeks. Long—Back, fingers, arms and limbs. Round—Head, neck, arms, ankles and waist. Large—Forehead, eyes and lips. Narrow—Eyebrows, nose and feet. Small—Ears, bust and hands. For a woman 5 feet 5 inches 138 pounds is the proper weight, and if she be well formed she can stand another 10 pounds without greatly showing it. When her arms are extended she should measure from the tip of middle finger to tip of middle finger just 5 feet 5 inches, exactly her own height. The length of her hand should be just one-tenth of that and her foot just one-seventh. The distance from the elbow to the middle finger should be the same as the distance of the elbow to the middle of the chest. From the top of the head to the chin should be just the length of the foot and there should be the same distance between the chin and the armpits. A woman of this height should measure 24 inches about the waist and 34 inches about the bust if measured from under the arms and 43 if over them. The upper arm should measure 13 inches and the wrist 6. The calf of the leg should measure 14½ inches, the thigh 25 and the ankle 8 inches. This Is Your Opportunity. On receipt of ten cents, cash or stamps, a generous sample will be mailed of the most popular Catarrh and Hay Fever Cure (Ely's Cream Balm) sufficient to demonstrate the great merits of the remedy. ELY BROTHERS, 56 Warren St., New York City. Rev. John Reid, Jr., of Great Falls, Mont., recommended Ely's Cream Balm to me. I can emphasize his statement, "It is a positive cure for catarrh if used as directed."—Rev. Francis W. Poole, Pastor Central Pres. Church, Helena, Mont. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no mercury or injurious drug. Price, 50 cents. There are sixty plants in California engaged in packing and seeding rains this season, the majority of which are located in the Fresno district. The packing-houses furnish employment round numbers to 5000 hands, most whom are women and girls. Very few of these packing-houses employ men than fifty, while the larger ones number from 200 to 250 on their payrolls. The aggregate amount of money paid out to these employees each month approximate very nearly a quarter of million dollars while the packing-session lasts. The rains of the past two weeks have checked the delivery of rains for growers quite materially, but now that the weather has become settled and favorable to drying the growers with hurry in the crop to the packers, shipments to the East will be exited accordingly. Eastern buyers have been clamoring for goods for Thanksgiving trade, and packers have in consequence been at their wits' end to satisfy the demand in season. The California Raisin Growers' Association, with its vigilant inspectors each packing-house, is maintaining with rigid rules the "standard of excellence" in every grade of raisins permitted to be boxed and stamped with the name of the association, so that berber and retailer can feel assured with purchasing California raisins stamped that he is getting just what he pays for. The great value of associations farmers and growers of special products organized for the purpose properly marketing their crops maintains reasonable prices shown most forcefully in the experience of the raisin growers this year compared with the prune growers. Through effective association the raisin grower has marketed his crop at prices as fast as the raisins could deliver and packed, and with positive knowledge that not a car will carried over into another season freely have Eastern dealers placed orders for the crop. On the other hand the prune growers who have an equitable product, find it extremely difficult to sell their crop even at prices which are but little more than half true value of the product, as compared with other fruits. Dealers in buying and hauling raisins have perfect confidence in the ability of the raisin growers' association to maintain price at all hazards, and therefore have hesitancy in ordering freely. In handling prunes the dealers realize that the growers are without organization and consequently are unable to re-late prices; and if liberal purchase prunes were made the price might drop from an eighth to a quarter cent next day. They are therefore able about handling prunes at all, and at as low a price as possible. Gazette. NUMBER 2, 1899 EOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

One million dollars per annum can be easily added to the income of California, in the opinion of Prof. Walter T. Swingle of the United States Department of Agriculture, by cultivating figs. Prof. Swingle has been touring the State and keenly observing. His conclusion is that the foothill region of California is excellently adapted to the growing of fig orchards and is like the natural home of the fig. Imported figs are now selling on the Atlantic coast at the extravagant rate of $1000 per ton, and there are few to be had at that price. If California had a fig crop now it would be as good as a gold mine. "California ought to raise figs enough for the whole United States," said Prof. Swingle to the Call reporter. "I am satisfied that the possibility of so doing will be demonstrated satisfactorily." The explanation of this is that if the fig moth, brought from Asia by Prof. Swingle in Capri figs, shall survive the frosts the problem of fertilizing the figs, which has puzzled generations of Californians, will be settled. It has heretofore been supposed that the only way to introduce the fig moth into California was to import small Capri fig trees in pots and wait for them to grow. Prof. Swingle had adopted the more direct method and brought them in figs being wrapped in tin foil. A journey across the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic ocean, and the North American continent did not hurt the moth in the least. There are many samples of the moth in the State now, all so imported and are doing well. If the moths survive the frost this winter, the way will be blazed out for the future industry, which cannot but prove an important addition to the State's commercial resources. Prof. Swingle says that he thinks that it is also possible to introduce the fruit-bearing cactus into California successfully. This is something like the prickly pear, with the "pricklers" left out. The fruit is of a dull, red color. GRAFTER BARR: TAPPER FOWLER ($750.) Some of the Choice Allusions to Them One Hears About Town — Two Dromios Well Mated. "That was a bully good roast you gave old Barr in your last week's sue," said a leading merchant of Center street on Thursday last, after perusing the paper; "you just keep it up; that is what he needs, you bet. He has been a resident of Anaheim for fifteen years or more, and I have never yet heard him say a good word for the town. He used to come in to see me quite frequently, until he finally became such a bore that I had to tell him to make himself scarce. "You know, each time he would come to see me, he had something to say to run down the town. At first I regarded his statements as being made from the standpoint of one who really had some sort of criticism to offer. But I shortly found out that it was his purpose to belly-aache about the town and run it down to everybody he came across. "He used to talk union district high school, and I believe the only reason why he did so was to keep the high school out of Anaheim. He knew very well that the offer of a site halfway between the two places (if indeed it was ever made) could not be made to stand the test of the law. In the first place, Anaheim could only be taken into the Fullerton union high school district (providing such a desire existed upon the part of the citizens of this city) by legal means; and the location of the high school could be located only by legal means.

Aggregate amount of money paid these employees each month willimate very nearly a quarter of a dollar while the packing seams. Reines of the past two weeks have made the delivery of raisins by "He uses to talk union district high school, and I believe the only reason why he did so was to keep the high school out of Anaheim.

Consequently all this talk that Barr indulged in was to no purpose, except as it gave him an opportunity to hit the town a lick, and take the high school away from this city to Fullerton. That was a bully good roast you gave him; say, have you copies of the paper containing the testimony of his case against Hart? In which Hart said Barr wasn't worth killing? No? The papers are all gone? Well, that's too bad. Men come in here nearly every day and talk about it, and I wanted to keep one of those papers. You must print that testimony all over again. That was the richest thing you ever printed in your paper. "There goes the white-headed old reprobate now," he continued, as he pointed to Barr waddling down the opposite sidewalk, hitting the walk at every second step with his cane. "His hair is getting considerably whiter this last year, and he doesn't seem to be so dapper as he used to be. He carries his head considerably lower, and it really reels around like a coconut in the breezes' as you said in your paper." "Did you ever see Barr leaning on his cane while talking to a fellow, with one leg thrown around the other and leaning forward as though he was about to fall over? Funny position he assumes, isn't it? Well, I must go over and wait on those customers, but don't forget to keep up the good work. Give us his cemetery record." "Barr found congenial company when he ran across Tapper Fowler, ($750), said another merchant in another block, as he conversed with a half dozen men about town one evening recently." "That man Fowler's tapping of Dyer for $750 'the first rattle out of the box' was a little bit the rawest piece of work I ever heard of. Dyer was the man more than anyone else who made the factory a possibility. Of course our Beet and Land Company of 1200 acres was of material assistance With the subscriptions by the farmers of West Anaheim, Buena Park, Los Alamitos, Garden Grove, Westminster, Norwalk and Artesia, the factory ought to have been made a success of, and with several hundred shares held in Los Angeles it looked to me that we were going to have that factory When Dyer came down and bought those 300 acres I considered the deal as good as made.I didn't know until some days afterward that Fowler's 535 shares were bogus.And when I shortly afterward learned that Fowler had deliberately tapped Dyer for $750, for commission on the land sale, I felt that the jig was up for the sugar factory—that Fowler's many protestations of fidelity were in the air, and that he was in the business solely for the commission he could raise off of unsuspecting landbuyers.Dyer was very nicely taken in, and I know he entertains feelings of very bitter resentment against Fowler.I regard Fowler as the man who broke up the sugar factory,and I have many times considered why the people of Anaheim allow him to live here among them.Certainly he has done more to injure the town than any forty men who ever..." Raisin Industry. There are sixty plants in California and in packing and seeding raisins season, the majority of which are in the Fresno district. These warehouses furnish employment in numbers to 5000 hands, most of these women and girls. Very few packer-houses employ less than, while the larger ones number 200 to 250 on their payrolls. Regregate amount of money paid these employees each month will eliminate very nearly a quarter of a dollar dollars while the packing seams. Raisins of the past two weeks have had the delivery of raisins by quite materially, but now that father has become settled and able to drying the growers will be the crop to the packers, and thanks to the East will be expected accordingly. Eastern buyers often clamoring for goods for the giving trade, and packers have sequence been at their wits' endify the demand in season. California Raisin Growers' association with its vigilant inspectors in packing-house, is maintaining rigid rules the "standard of exe" in every grade of raisins perto be boxed and stamped with one of the association, so that job retailer can feel assured when using California raisins so that he is getting just what he is for. A great value of associations to raisins and growers of special pro-organized for the purpose of easy marketing their crops and mining reasonable prices, is almost forcefully in the experience of the raisin growers this year as used with the prune growers. With effective association the raisin has marketed his crop at full was fast as the raisins could be seeded and packed, and with posi-wledge that not a car will be over into another season so have Eastern dealers placed order for the crop. On the other hand, some growers, who have an equally good product, find it extremely hard to sell their crop even at prices are but little more than half the value of the product, as compared other fruits. Dealers in buying bundling raisins have perfect confidence in the ability of the raisin's association to maintain prices hazards, and therefore have no worry in ordering freely. In handling the dealers realize that raisins are without organization, consequently are unable to regulate; and if liberal purchases of raisins made the price might drop on eighth to a quarter cent the day. They are therefore timid handling prunes at all, and buy a price as possible. The next day a family delegation called at the Hunt home, and during the parley Annie slipped out of the house. A constable searched the house in vain, and while he was prowling about the ranch Hunt concluded to have some fun with him. He donned a skirt, slipped out and showed himself, and the constable gave chase. After a short run Hunt dropped the skirt, and the laugh was on the constable, and was joined in by the Burrows delegation. Hunt then found the girl, and he says everything ended satisfactorily to all but the constable. Mrs. Burrows agreeing that he should be permitted to renew his attentions to Annie when both are a little older. No criminal proceedings were instituted or contemplated. AS IT FIRST APPEARED. From the Times, Oct. 21. FULLERTON, Oct. 20.-William Hunt, a young rancher of prominence, has been placed in a serious position by charges of alleged criminal assault upon a thirteen-year-old daughter of William Burrows. Burrows and Hunt have ranches near Centralia. For some weeks past Hunt has been stopping the Burrows girl on her way home from school. Two weeks ago Burrows threatened to thrash Hunt because of alleged undue intimacy with the girl, and was only prevented from doing so by the interference of friends. Since then Hunt and the girl have met clandestinely. Thursday night after supper the girl left her home and did not return. Yesterday morning Burrows and a party of friends went to Hunt's house after he had ascertained that the girl did not spend the night at a neighbor's, where it was supposed she had gone. Reaching Hunt's delivery of the girl was demanded. Hunt denied that she was there. Burrows insisted that she was. While parleying was in progress Burrows threatened to break into the house, a figure in woman's attire sped from the back door of the house toward a brush pile. Burrows and his friends pursued, and in overtaking the figure they found they had Hunt. Later the girl was found hiding in a brush heap, where it is supposed she ran from the front door of the house when Hunt ran from the back. Mrs. Burrows was with the searching party, and when her daughter was found she fell in the throes of epilepsy. Her recovery last night was in much doubt. Afterward that Fowler's 535 shares were bogus. And when I shortly afterward learned that Fowler had deliberately tapped Dyer for $750, for commission on the land sale, I felt that the jig was up for the sugar factory—that Fowler's many protestations of fidelity were in the air, and that he was in the business solely for the commission he could rake off of unsuspecting landbuyers. Dyer was very nicely taken in, and I know he entertains feelings of very bitter re-sement against Fowler. I regard Fowler as the man who broke up the sugar factory, and I have many times considered why the people of Anaheim allow him to live here among them. Certainly he has done more to injure the town than any forty men who ever lived here. He has a good running mate in Barr, who loses no opportunity to run down the town—the two go well together. Bughouse Barr and Tapper Fowler." "Barr must be out $2000 at least on the Plain Dealer outfit," said another well-known citizen, "and it's telling on him. I wonder what satisfaction he gets importing an Alabama Ku-Klux to vilify the best citizens in town. Then he goes around and tells them he has nothing to do with the paper, protests on the witness stand that he has nothing to do with it, and then lopes off to the office to carry such 'stinks' to it as his ill nature may dig up during his walks about town. I never knew a man so close-fisted in my life; he always ready to turn a dollar, whether by an offer of marriage or by conspiring to destroy a will; but he is the hardest man to get a dollar out of I ever saw. Yet he is blowing himself for a couple of thou'r for a sheet that is doing more to hurt the town than anything we have had since Fowler killed the sugar factory. The three ought to be put together and bundled out of town. "Talking about Barr ever helping any one financially, I wonder if his assistance was in these cases similar to that rendered by him to Charley Calmar, who ran a restaurant in the Backs block some years ago. Barr lent Calmar $50 for a month and charged him $20 interest! Think of it! When Calmar paid Barr he was upon the point of thrashing him. He desisted on account of Barr's grey hairs. But Barr so undermined his business, by going about telling stories of him, that Calmar soon had to close up his restaurant. Talk about people being 'run out of town!" Barr is a prince at that sort of business. He ought to be tarred and feathered."
