We have often thought that if the thousands of visitors who every year throng the hotels of Los Angeles and Pasadena in their flight from the rigors of the winters of the East could have a taste of the climate that prevails in Orange county in summer, Orange county would not only treble its population but be dotted with the mansions of the millionaires. Not a few who have spent portions of the summer in Italy, Southern France and Florida, have said over and over again in our hearing that nowhere on earth are the perfect conditions of a summer climate to be found, to compare with that which prevails in Orange county. The heat is never enervating, never oppressive, never even disagreeable. In the hottest days of August and September one can drive in an open buggy without the slightest inconvenience, and through the warmest nights a blanket will only add to the sleeper's comfort. Then, again, we are free from the insect pest that renders Florida and other famous summer resorts almost unendurable; but in Orange county there is not an item in all the environment that can militate against the luxury of faultless climatic conditions. From May until October there is neither rain nor rain cloud, hardly even a fog to cast a gloom over the landscape. If in winter the mountains in the distance are white with snow, and the orchards at their base golden with ripening oranges; in summer the sun fills them with a summer glory of its own that must be seen to be fully appreciated. The authorities. This same Scotch thistle was introduced into Australia by some such means as this, and overran the country. Laws were enacted to destroy it, but without success. Craw refers to the attempts to destroy the mining scale. Trees infested with this variety were fumigated five times with hydrocyanic gas without effecting their destruction, and two dippings in strong insecticide had no effect upon the bugs, and the trees were finally ordered burned by the Superior Court of Los Angeles county. Mr. Craw says there would be no possibility of destroying the mining scale were it to get a hold upon our orchards. The most important recent service which this vigilant and faithful officer has rendered the fruit growers of the State was in stopping the importation of Mexican oranges, as a safeguard against the Mexican orange worm. Of that matter he says: "The Morales or Mexican orange maggot has made its appearance in Acapulco, Mex. Very few oranges are received from Southern Mexican ports, but an invoice of eight cases, equal to sixteen boxes, arrived on the steamship Colon from Acapulco, on the 9th of November, and was unloaded the following day. Upon examination, we found the fruit to be infested with the above disgusting pest, so we had the fruit and cases cremated. This is one of the fruit flies that in the larvae state destroy fresh fruit. The parent fly deposits her eggs in the pores of the orange peel; when the young maggots batch they burrow all through the pulp of the fruit, and are difficult to detect, as they are nearly of the same color of the pulp, and give little, if any, outward indication of their presence. We found from three to fifteen maggots in a single fruit. When full grown they measure about half an inch. They then leave the fruit and enter the ground, where they change to the chrysalis stage and undergo their change and come forth as perfect files, ready to spread to other trees and deposit their eggs on other fruit. In preserving specimens for the cabinet, we put a number of the maggots into 95 per cent. alcohol, and were astonished to notice their vitality. The first to succumb were after they had been submerged for twelve minutes, and at the end of forty-two minutes several had sufficient life to lift half their bodies, as if in an effort to escape. No more oranges will be admitted from there. Such a pest established in California would soon seriously influence the sale Orange county would not be cared until after the municipal election April; but a message from County Beckett reveals the fact that there has been cancelled already, leading to an act of the Legislature paving the last session, the cancellation gone into effect the 1st of January Supervisor Potter, after a careful investigation of the subject, stated matter has been taken out of that of the Supervisors entirely, thus relative act decreeing that all Rivers must be cancelled throughout all counties of the State on the 1st January of each even-numbered year. The fact that this law will go to an embarrassing situation to the spring municipal elections to have escaped the attention of wise legislators in session andimento last winter. The law passed in the first place, that registrators voters shall begin on the first January of each even-numbered year and continue until forty days past general election in New York when the preparation of printing of the Register shall begin. It seems to be no provision for him for use at the municipal election fact, it is difficult to imagine heters can be prepared for these events. For if a Register be printed another must be printed in New York for the general election, according to terms of the new law. Now that the old Register is led by legislative act, and no longer in time for the election to vote at that election? The held by some that voting will certificates of registration, we prove a cumbersome not to so novel method of conducting an audit at all events, it is clear that voter must re-register in order his ballot at the April election. Now that Dr. Gardiner has race for City Clerk there be considerable fun at the en-election. The Duke of Schlumberger has hitherto proved in the polls, and people do say that not be beaten for any office to aspire to. The opposition has not made serious inconvenience. other famous summer resorts almost unendurable; but in Orange county there is not an item in all the environment that can militate against the luxury of faultless climatic conditions. From May until October there is neither rain nor rain cloud, hardly even a fog to cast a gloom over the landscape. If in winter the mountains in the distance are white with snow, and the orchards at their base golden with ripening oranges; in summer the sun fills them with a summer glory of its own that must be seen to be fully appreciated. The key to the secret of this unrivalled climatic condition is to be found in our ocean breeze. From May until October the wind, as if regulated by clockwork, blows a gentle zephyr from the southwest. Beginning, as a rule, about 10 o'clock in the morning it continues through the day, dying away at sunset. It is this ocean breeze that modifies the heat, makes exercise in the open air a pure delight, and sends the blood coursing through the veins. Malaria never comes near us, sunstroke is never heard of, and epidemics never gain a foothold amongst us. In point of fact the tourist who makes Orange county his permanent home before the sweltering heat of the East has reduced his blood to the consistency of water, or the excessive cold shrivels his vital organism beyond the reach of remedies, runs a hundred chances to one of reaching his grave "full of years"—"a shock of corn fully ripe." This is by no means an overdrawn pen picture, for even the casual observer cannot fail to notice the proportion of aged men and women in the community. But the climate of Orange county is not the only inducement to attract the leisured classes as permanent residents. They want "society"—social surroundings—in which they can have community of feeling, and Orange county can furnish that desiderata, too. A large proportion of our well-to-do classes have been accustomed to the usages of good society. The churches of all denominations are represented and their pulpits manned by efficient preachers. Our schools are second to none in any State in the Union, while facilities for travel either by road or railway are unexcelled anywhere. Again, for scenery and objects of interest, who ever tires of our mountain canyons with their rugged grandeur, or with a day at the beach by the summer's sea? Taking everything into consideration, climate, social surroundings, educational facilities, scenery and above all, the health-giving conditions that prevail in Orange county, we repeat, that if our winter visitors could see the landscape in its summer glories our population would maggots in a single inch grown they measure about half an inch. They then leave the fruit and enter the ground, where they change to the chrysalis stage and undergo their change and come forth as perfect files, ready to spread to other trees and deposit their eggs on other fruit. In preserving specimens for the cabinet, we put a number of the maggots into 95 per cent. alcohol, and were astonished to notice their vitality. The first to succumb were after they had been submerged for twelve minutes, and at the end of forty-two minutes several had sufficient life to lift half their bodies, as if in an effort to escape. No more oranges will be admitted from there. Such a pest established in California would soon seriously influence the sale and consumption of our oranges." The fruit growers of California owe Mr. Craw a great debt of gratitude, and it is to be hoped he may long be spared to stand guardian against importations of dangerous pests. JUDGE CHARLES SILENT of Los Angeles was in town on Saturday in consultation with the Directors of the Anaheim and Santa Ana irrigation companies relative to the Newberry water development scheme at Rincon. Judge Silent's mission was to advocate an amicable adjustment of affairs between the two old water companies and the new appropriators, of which company he is understood to be one of the largest shareholders, to the end that no "hair-pulling" or unnecessary legal entanglements might intervene. In a conversation with the Judge he stated that in his opinion not less than 5000 inches of water could be developed at the Rincon basin, which would not encroach upon the supply already appropriated by the two old companies, and which flow would be constantly replenished by irrigators at Riverside, Ontario, Pomona and other sections tributary to it. Riverside alone uses 17,000 inches of water for irrigation, and much of this, in his opinion, sees into the Rincon basin. The purpose of Judge Silent's company is to develop this water and dispose of it, either to the La Habra valley people or the San Joaquin ranch. To conduct this water to either place would of course entail a large expenditure of money. In order to get it onto the San Joaquin extensive tunneling would have to be resorted to, as well as fluming and other work of expensive character. The recent purchase by the two local water companies of the Durkee tract of 1400 acres, upon which the new company had contemplated developing the water, interposed a serious interruption to the plans of the water developers, who had held an option upon the land for $100,000—the price subsequently paid for it by the local companies. A report has prevailed that immediately after the closing of the deal a certified check in the amount of $2000, made payable to Mr. Durkee, reached that gentleman from the water development company, as the initial payment for the privilege of using his land for the sole purpose of developing water, upon it, the price for this privilege to be $50,000. Mr. Durkee was privileged to retain control and use of the land, the new organization offering that sum of money only for the privilege Now that Dr. Gardiner has race for City Clerk there be considerable fun at the election. The Duke of Schlain has hitherto proved in the polls, and people do say that not be beaten for any office to aspire to. The opposition has not made serious inroad total vote when he retreated; but Dr. Gardiner campaigner and has been asking public pulse, kissing hands with the power making himself generally able to do along about elections promises to be a beautiful Clerk Nebelung will have to take his fences, or the redoubt will wear his toga. Clear these us have a free ballot and count, and may best manage. A Plea for Decree EDITOR GAZETTE:—If true, the performance in house last Monday evening rage of public decency. Or be done to protect yourself such imposition? For yearger of the Opera-house he allowed to conduct a question without molestation; but dumps a carload of prostitute city under the guise of a troupe, it is time to call a law has no moral instinct, the Court should pass an ordinance him from foisting upon us performance as disgraced on Monday evening. Perhaps an ordinance; if so, it been enforced. [From all that we can learn the "performance" evening, it must have been thing of the kind ever upon an unoffending public Marshal was sick in otherwise he might very stoped the "show." I chased admission tickets and were compelled to write so foul were they practiced upon the stage women who moved about among the male spectators have no more "shows" of EDITOR.] State in the Ohio, white for travel either by road or railway are unexcelled anywhere. Again, for scenery and objects of interest, who ever tires of our mountain canyons with their rugged grandeur, or with a day at the beach by the summer's sea? Taking everything into consideration, climate, social surroundings, educational facilities, scenery aud, above all, the health-giving conditions that prevail in Orange county, we repeat, that if our winter visitors could see the landscape in its summer glories our population would soon be trebled, and the mansions of the health seeker would soon be as common as the humbler dwellings of the farmer and artisan. ALEXANDER CRAW, State quarantine officer, in his last semi-annual report to the State Board of Horticulture, gives the following interesting statistics: "Since my last report 122 steamships and sailing vessels arrived in the port of San Francisco, that had trees, plants or fruits from the following countries: China, Japan, Ceylon, Australia, New Zealand, South Sea Islands, Central America, Mexico and British Columbia. The receipts consist of cases and crates, trees and plants 314 Boxes and bundles, trees and plants 573 Loose lots of trees 149 Boxes of limes 10,809 Boxes Japanese oranges 3,054 Crates of oranges, Lower California 110 Boxes, miscellaneous fruits 2,360 Crates, pineapples 2,367 Boxes, Mexican oranges 16 Total packages 19,752 Over 3000 fruit and ornamental trees new to the State were destroyed. Other stock has been thoroughly fumigated with hydrocyanic gas, and a close watch kept for injurious insects all along the water front. Ninety per cent more money has been spent trying to stamp out pests that were formerly introduced into the State, than has been expended in keeping others out, to say nothing of the enormous damage done by their presence. Mr. Craw relates an amusing experience with an old Scotch lady who was returning to California by way of Vancouver from a visit to her native country. The lady was trying to import plants of Scotch thistle just coming into bloom. She was very indignant when told the plants must be destroyed, promising to keep them in her own garden if they were objectionable operers, who had held an option upon the land for $100,000—the price subsequently paid for it by the local companies. A report has prevailed that immediately after the closing of the deal a certified check in the amount of $2000, made payable to Mr. Durkee, reached that gentleman from the water development company, as the initial payment for the privilege of using his land for the sole purpose of developing water, upon it, the price for this privilege to be $50,000. Mr. Durkee was privileged to retain control and use of the land, the new organization offering that sum of money only for the privilege of developing water. So it will be seen that the purchase of the land and its water rights was made at a moment when an active demand existed for it. How its purchase will affect the development company may be easily conjectured, for men competent to judge say no other water-bearing lands exist at that point—at least none offering sufficient inducements for the investment of any large amount of money. What resulted from the conference between Judge Silent and the two boards has not transpired, the same having been held in executive session. However, the statement of the Judge that 5000 inches of water can be developed at the point referred to is received with considerable doubt by gentlemen who have made the matter the subject of close study. Indeed, if that amount of water can be developed, it will mean that another river of water the size of the Santa Ana at this point in summer will be taken from the ground; for the river does not contain more water during the months of July, August and September. Men competent to pass judgment upon the matter aver that not more than a thousand inches can be developed, and this only upon the land acquired by purchase of the Durkee tract. The tract aligns the river for some three miles, and the purchase acquires with it the valuable riparian rights of the former owner. Judge Silent was courteously received, but it goes without saying that the two boards, combining as they do the shrewdest business men of the county, will guard with jealous eye not only the rights of the stockholders in both companies, but their recently acquired rights up the river as well. INVESTIGATION of the matter of the cancellation of the Great Register reveals the existence of a curious state of affairs, to say the least. It was the opinion last week that the Register of Orange county would not be cancelled until after the municipal election in April; but a message from County Clerk Mackett reveals the fact that the Registrar has been cancelled already, accorded to an act of the Legislature passed at last session, the cancellation having come into effect the 1st of January. Supervisor Potter, after a careful investigation of the subject, states the matter has been taken out of the hands of the Supervisors entirely, the legislative act decreeing that all Registers must be cancelled throughout all the counties of the State on the 1st day of January of each even-numbered year. The fact that this law will give rise to an embarrassing situation relative to the spring municipal elections, seems have escaped the attention of the rise legislators in session at Sacramento last winter. The law provides, in the first place, that registration of voters shall begin on the first day of January of each even-numbered year, and continue until forty days preceding the general election in November, when the preparation of printed copies of the Register shall begin. There seems to be no provision for Registers to use at the municipal elections; in fact, it is difficult to imagine how Registers can be prepared for these elections. For if a Register be printed in April, another must be printed in November for the general election, according to the terms of the new law. Now that the old Register is cancelled, by legislative act, and no provision made for the printing of a new Register in time for the election in April, the question arises: How are we to vote at that election? The opinion is held by some that voting will be by certificates of registration, which will prove a cumbersome not to say a very novel method of conducting an election. At all events, it is clear that every voter must re-register in order to cast his ballot at the April election. Now that Dr. Gardiner has entered the race for City Clerk there ought to be considerable fun at the ensuing city selection. The Duke of Schleswig-Holstein has hitherto proved invincible at the polls, and people do say that he cannot be beaten for any office he chooses to aspire to. The opposition in the past has not made serious inroads into his county. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For the Week Ending January 15, 1900. Furnished by the Orange County Title Company, Santa Ana. C. W.

Huntington be Removed From His Position as Horticultural Commissioner. The following petition asking for the removal of L. Z. Huntington as Horticultural Commissioner was filed with the County Clerk on Monday. The petition was circulated by W. A. Newberry who is said by one of the signers of the petition to be an aspirant for the place now held by Mr. Huntington. To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Orange County. GENTLEMEN:—We the undersigned taxpayers and fruit growers of Anaheim Horticultural district, respectfully petition your honorable body to remove L. Z. Huntington from the position of Horticultural Commissioner, as we deem his removal necessary to our interests as taxpayers. E. R. Amerige J. F. Hanna E. K. Benchley W. H. Hildebrandt Geo.C.Clark Fred C.Rimpau Geo.B.Key E.P.Fowler R.Mears J.Hickman C.Wagner P.Hammes G.H.Amerige C.W.Alms J.A.Vail W.L.Hale A.Pierotti A.S.Bradford P.H.Nicolas C.Schantz L.M.Gardiner G.A.Ruddock E.Barr J.J.Hays G.A.Hialt. The petition will be heard by the Supervisors on Monday next. Mr. Huntington has been a faithful horticultural officer,and his removal would be an inexcusable blunder. It had been supposed at first that his destruction of peach trees in Richman & Mills’ nursery at Fullerton which trees were found to be infested with the peach tree borer,might be the reason for the circulation of the petition;but it was authoritatively stated yesterday that the real reason was that W.A.Newberry was an aspirant for the place If no better reason prevails for the removal of Mr.Huntington than that his position is sought by another,the there is certainly very little ground for his removal. Mr.Huntington will be present at the meeting of the Supervisors on Monday to defend his work as Horticultural Commissioner. Weather Report.

It promises to be a beautiful fight, and Clerk Nebelung will have to look after his fences, or the redoubtable Doctor will wear his toga. Clear the track!

EDITOR GAZETTE: If reports be true, the performance in the Opera-house last Monday evening was an outrage of public decency. Can nothing be done to protect ourselves against such imposition? For years the manager of the Opera-house has been allowed to conduct a questionable resort, without molestation; but when he dumps a carload of prostitutes into our city under the guise of a minstrel troupe, it is time to call a halt. If he has no moral instinct, the City Trustees should pass an ordinance prohibiting him from foisting upon us such a performance as disgraced our city last Monday evening. Perhaps there is such an ordinance; if so, it should have been enforced. JAMES STONE. [From all that we can learn concerning the “performance” on Monday evening, it must have been the vilest thing of the kind ever perpetrated upon an unoffending public. The City Marshal was sick in bed at home, otherwise he might very properly have stopped the “show.” People purchased admission tickets innocently, and were compelled to withdraw from the room, so foul were the indecencies practiced upon the stage and by the women who moved about the audience among the male spectators. Let us have no more “shows” of this kind. EDITOR] Mrs. Anna Heim MoArthur Loses. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 12. The suit brought four years ago by Ferdinand A.

U.S.S Department of Agriculture California Section Climate and Crop Service Weather Bureau Jan. 16. General Summary.-The week has been marked by generally cloudy weather over the greater portion of the State. Fair weather prevailed at the beginning of the week,and high northerly winds were reported from the southern valleys Monday and Tuesday.On Monday night some damage was reported from Riverside and San Bernardino counties.Frost was reported on the morning of the 11th generally throughout the State.Tule fog was general in the valleys north of the Teachapi from the 12th to the end of the week.In Northern California sufficient rain has fallen.Owing to the withdrawal of the ground water during the past two years all the rain which fell is probably needed。它 is reported that some of the wells in the artesian district show a marked rise.In the Sacramento valley the rivers have been generally full,and at many places up to high water mark,但 no serious damage has yet been reported.The river at Sacramento reached a stage of 27 feet on January 9th,and has remained above 26 feet during the week. Conditions have been unfavorable for plowing and seeding in most of northern valleys,specially on black lands,the ground is too wet.Warmer drying weather is needed in these localities.The fog and cold weather have retarded grain,and probably held back fruit. No damage was reported from frosts on Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday nights.Early sown grain is in very good condition,and there is every indication of a large crop.Budding of the vines has been retarded by the cold,foggy weather，但this is considered beneficial at this season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 12.—The suit brought four years ago by Ferdinand A. Heim, administrator of the estate of Michael Heim, deceased, the East St. Louis brewer, against Joseph J. Heim, executor of the estate of Ferdinand Heim, Joseph J. Heim, Ferdinand Heim, Jr., and Michael G. Heim, has been dismissed by Judge Slover in the District Court. The Judge finds that the estate has been properly administered and assesses the costs in the suit against the plaintiff. The fortune over which the parties to the suit have been contending was amassed by the brothers Michael and Ferdinand Heim in the brewery business at East St. Louis. In 1883 Michael Heim died intestate, and the estate was not settled for over ten years, when the widow, now Mrs. Anna Heim-McArthur of Los Angeles, and her two sons, accepted $105,000 in full settlement for their shares. The contention raised in the suit was that this sum was inadequate, and that the value of their interests in the brewery was much more. In his opinion Judge Slover declares that the settlement made was a most liberal one. He also rules that the agreement signed by Mrs. McArthur, in which, in consideration of $105,000 and a house and lot located in Los Angeles, she relinquished all further interest under the will, is valid and binding. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that, too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes W. C. Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at Paul A. Derge's drug store. Regular size 50c. and $1. Every bottle guaranteed. Miss E.

White is recovering from his recent serious illness at Paraiso Springs, in the northern part of the State. He went to the springs a month ago, accompanied by Dr. Gedge of San Francisco. At that time the ex-Senator was very ill. He suffered greatly from nervous collapse, and needed constant attention. This was given him by Dr. Gedge, who remained with him, and who has been at the springs giving his patient every care. For ten days or more Mr. White's condition was considered precarious. It is now understood, however, that he is rapidly recovering. Glorious News Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargille, of Washita, I.T. He writes: "Four bottles of Electric Bitters have cured Mrs. Brewer of serofula, which had caused her great suffering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her head and face, and the best doctors could give no help; but her cure is complete and her health is excellent." This shows what thousands have proved—that Electric Bitters is the best blood purifier known. It's the supreme remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion builds up the strength. Only 50c. Sold by Paul A. Derge, druggist. Guaranteed. Fine Job of Painting.

A Santa Ana correspondent writes as follows concerning the efforts of some of the Peatland farmers to compel the Bolsa Chica gun club to remove the dam recently thrown across the channel at Bolsa Chica bay: "The Bolsa Chica dam, constructed by the Bolsa Chica gun club, an association of Los Angeles capitalists, has bobbed up before the Board of Supervisors in a way that promises interesting developments, if the alleged wrong is not soon righted. A delegation of Peatland ranchers again appeared before the Supervisors and asked that some definite steps be taken to either compel the gun club to lower the dam or remove it altogether, as the land adjoining the reserve was being greatly damaged by the presence of the dam. The ranchers claim that the gun club has not lived up to its promise in remedying the evil, and now they want the board to take the matter in hand in a manner that will insure them that their rights will no longer be tampered with. A hearing of the case was set for Monday, the 22d inst., and the secretary of the board was instructed to notify the president and secretary of the gun club to be present at that time to show cause why the alleged evil should not be removed."

RUSSIAN COLONY. Twenty-one thousand Russians, now living in British Columbia, may settle on beet land of the Los Alamitos Sugar Company. J. Ross Clark and a committee of Russians have been looking over the country, and if satisfactory arrangements are made the exodus from Canada will begin before March. It is said that A. P. Demens of Los Angeles was the original instigator of the colony movement and that it was his idea from the first to have his countrymen locate on these sugar-beet lands. Demens arrived home from the north some days ago with a committee sent out by the Russians to examine the State preparatory to their contemplated removal from the north, where they are at present. Demens' interest on behalf of his fellow countrymen is purely a philanthropic one. He is a gentleman of means who, for purely political reasons has become a voluntary exile from his native land and has decided to make Los Angeles his permanent home. He is a personal friend of Count Leo Tolstoi, the famous novelist, who is equally interested in having the Doukhobers settled in some place where their industry and frugality will enable them to live and worship their Creator according to the dictates of their own conscience. The colonists were brought to America free by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which corporation gave them free lands and also had donated to them a sum of money per capita, by the Canadian Government. They find the conditions of life too difficult in that province and are anxious to leave. Demens resents a report that he is to be paid for the services he is rendering his poorer countrymen by the Southern Pacific Company or any other agency, and those who know him declare such a statement to be absurd, as he has means enough for all he needs, and is not compelled to earn any fees as an interpreter of the Russian language. It is a legal question whether these intended emigrants can cross the Canadian border into the United States without a thorough examination and possible hindrance by the United States immigration officials, owing to existing statutes and Treasury Department regulations. Demens says that President Huntington of the Southern Pacific has been appealed to and has taken a personal interest in the projected movement of the colonists to California, and COMMERCIAL HOTEL UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT E.

A Curious Problem in the Realm of Agriculture. Many farmers and dairymen purchase foods and thus increase the products derived from live stock. It is cheaper, from their standpoint, to buy bran, milkings, and other products than to use the products of the farm direct. It is therefore, a fact that the farmers are large purchasers of the products sold from the farms, as the articles which they buy go from the farms to the factories, from which they are returned to the farms again. The factory makes a profit by purchasing the crops grown on the farm, and yet these same products which come back to the farms enable the farmers to make another profit. The subject is one that brings up the curious problem of exchange of products, and especially where both parties are benefited by the exchange. The reason why the farmer makes a gain, however, is because he purchases the products of the factory in a concentrated form. He sells his hay, wheat, corn, oats, etc., in bulk, and at prices which give him a profit compared with those prevailing for the articles he purchases, and he makes a profit in the saving of labor of hauling. The farmer also converts his farm into a factory by the use of live stock for the purpose of changing the waste products of the factory or mill into milk, butter, cheese or meat, which he sells. He still has another product remaining—the manure—which he utilizes for growing more crops the succeeding year. Thus it may be noticed that the products of the farm undergo several processes, the farmer being a large consumer of the products sold by him, and that the various processes are without limit, as the practices of one year are followed by the methods of succeeding seasons. The natural inquiry might be: "Where does the farmer make a profit if he sells farm produce and buys the same again?" The solution of the problem is in the gain to the farmer in fertility of the soil. But another inquiry may be made as to how the soil can give up its fertility to crops and regain it when the crops are repurchased in other forms. The reason is that when the farmer sells his corn, wheat and oats, he sells mostly starch, fat and sugar. These substances take nothing from the soil, being derived from the carbonic acid of the atmosphere. It is true that the farmer also disposes of nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid when he sells his grain, but there is about seven or eight times as much starch in the grains as of the three substances named. The climate refuge. J. M. Voss, a business man of Kansas City, was in town yesterday, the guest of Mr. Schwentker. Mr. Voss is a climate refuge, will remain in California until June, and may determine to locate permanently. He left everything frozen up tight when he left Kansas City, and is surprised to experience such balmy weather here in January. He departed for Los Angeles on the afternoon train, and will today go to San Diego. He will probably return to Orange county and may find just the place he is looking for. A Story of John Morrissey. Henry L. Dawes of Pittsfield, Mass., successor of Charles Sumner in the senate, told the following story: "When I was a judge in Pittsfield, Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan fought a prize fight at a neighboring place called Boston Corners. Sullivan was arrested and fined $1,000. He handed over the money and went his way. A day or two later, while I was sitting on the bench, a fine-looking man entered the courtroom and sent a letter up to me. It was from a friend of mine introducing John Morrissey. He, too, was fined $1,000 and said to me that he would send me his check on his return to New York. "Well, I didn't know what might happen if he was let go on that understanding, but I said to Morrissey that any arrangement for settlement which he made with the sheriff would be satisfactory. The sheriff, feeling as I did, insisted upon having the fine paid in cash, and since Morrissey didn't happen to have that much cash with him the sheriff locked him up until the amount was sent on from New York. "I fancied that Morrissey felt he owed me a grudge because of this incident. Years afterward in Washington a number of new congressmen were brought up to be introduced to me. Among them was Morrissey. When he came forward, he smiled and said, 'Mr. Dawes, I believe we have met before.'" Aggravating the Offence. "You are charged, young man," the magistrate said, not unkindly, "with scarring the complaining witness nearly out of his senses by putting him through some mock ceremony of initiation. I can make allowance for exuberance of spirits among college students, but sometimes this exuberance is carried too far." "It was this way, your honor," exclaimed the youth who appeared to be the spokesman—"we were out for a little lark, and we caught a jay." "The fine will be $2 and costs each," said his honor, his face hardening—Chicago Tribune. Some Ready Made Law. Bourke Cockran studied law under Judge Theodore L. Dwight. One day the professor asked a question which seemed easy, but was really difficult. With his magnificent voice Cockran answered the best he could, adding as a saving clause, "Such, I take it, is the common law." The good old doctor gleamed benignantly through his spectacles. "That would be all right, sir; if you had made it uncommon law."—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.

The solution of the problem is in the gain to the farmer in fertility of the soil. But another inquiry may be made as to how the soil can give up its fertility to crops and regain it when the crops are repurchased in other forms. The reason is that when the farmer sells his corn, wheat and oats, he sells mostly starch, fat and sugar. These substances take nothing from the soil, being derived from the carbonic acid of the atmosphere. It is true that the farmer also disposes of nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid—the substances which come from the soil. The farmer who purchases the concentrated foods stands in the same position as one who sends his grain to the factory or mill to have the starch removed, the other substances to be returned. The use of live stock, therefore, permits the farmer to sell mostly starch, for which he receives a higher price than can be derived unless he could remove the fertilizing materials, and in so buying the refuse of factories and mills he prevents loss on the farm of the elements which produce his crops. The farmer also buys the waste concentrated foods at a much lower price than he could purchase hay, as the cost of transportation, hauling, etc., adds to the expense. It will, therefore, pay the farmer to keep a sufficiency of livestock to consume as much of the waste products of the factory as possible. Odd Fellows. Anaheim lodge, No. 199, I. O. O.
