We have had the pleasure of a conversation with Theo. Edward Schmidt, who has recently returned from his home in New Jersey to the scene of his former activities in this neighborhood, after the flight of a score and a half of years. Mr. Schmidt was among the earliest of that sturdy band of Pioneers who laid out Anaheim; who inaugurated the work of reclaiming the trackless wastes of Southern California, and made the desert to blossom as the rose. The work of the original colonists hereabout has been simulated by many a community in this sunny southland; more ambitious efforts at developing the latent resources of the country may have claimed the attention of the people, and more ambitious attempts at establishing communities may have engaged their thoughts and their labors; but never did a more persevering lot set themselves to the overcoming of almost insuperable obstacles than the early Pioneers who settled here upward of forty-two years ago. Ditches carrying the life-giving waer from the river a dozen or fifteen miles away to the fertile fields of the valley are yet in existence in all their usefulness, a monument to their indomitable spirit. All but a few of these men have passed to their reward. While their labors even in those early days were crowned with distinguished success, many have lived to see the efforts of others in the same line of enterprise all but fail, a score of years subsequent to these initial undertakings, even though the State had in the meantime been runt and the more it eats the bigger the runt it grows; but put the same feed into a Poland and in a couple of months it is almost ready for the butcher with not an angle and not a rib visible to the eye. The hen is a subject on which the highest authorities in California have formed different opinions. The evidence we have gathered elevates the Leghorn as the best possible all round hen. Of course as a table bird it will be nowhere when laid side by side with a Plymouth Rock, but the Leghorn will begin laying when six months old and the Plymouth Rock won't lay an egg for a year. Again it is a well known fact that the Leghorn will refuse to "sit" before it reaches three years, whereas the Black Langshang and Plymouth Rock will sit immediately on having laid their first batch of eggs, and it isn't usually a big batch either. There is just this drawback to the Leghorn: it will not thrive in confinement, it must have a full free range, whereas the less ambitious and larger breeds will lay as well in confinement as on the open ranch. It's a cold day when the local correspondent of the Los Angeles Times cannot concoct a plan to reflect upon the fair name of the city. Thus in yesterday's issue he writes as follows: The condition of the city's water supply has become a matter of serious concern to the city officials. During the last few months the flow of water from the wells at the city pumping plant has been diminishing steadily. An official has stated that in case of a bad fire it is doubtful if the wells would stand the drain incident to the turning on of the fire pressure. Continued drought would seriously affect the domestic supply of the town before the season is over. There is not one single word of truth in all this, of course. The water in the city wells has lowered, as it lowers every year, but that the city entertains a particle of concern about it is so ludicrously untrue as to be more than laughable. The amount of water pumped has shown not a particle of diminution, and the yarn about the wells not being able to stand a drain in case of fire is of course antrue.

All but a few of these men have passed to their reward. While their labors even in those early days were crowned with distinguished success, many have lived to see the efforts of others in the same line of enterprise all but fail, a score of years subsequent to these initial undertakings, even though the State had in the meantime been populated by thousands of progressive and energetic people. Some day perhaps the impartial historian will place upon the scroll of fame the achievements of these early colonists, and accord them their meed of praise in the work of the upbuilding of the commonwealth. Mr. Schmidt was among the earliest of these Pioneers, as he was one of the wisest and most indefatigable of their number. His trees and vines flourished, and he built about him a comfortable home. He saw the parched plain transformed into a green and lovely spot, and the community erect itself into a thriving center of industrial activity. He it was who named the settlement "Anaheim." The name of "Anaberg" had been suggested, but this had been set aside, at his suggestion, for the present more euphonious title of the community. Mr. Schmidt is, with Mr. Zeyn and Mr. Kroeger of this city, the only remaining original shareholder in the He came to this city in 1859. In the early 70's he set out for the East, and such has been his activity in the business of the enlarged scene of his usefulness that, although he often declared he would return to Anaheim to visit his relatives, he never found the moment propitious until the present time, when he returns after an absence of nearly thirty years. He is still hale and hearty, and in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits; and though past the allotted span of three score years and ten, his step is as elastic and his eye as bright as in the aforetime when his figure was familiar to his friends throughout the community. Fortune has smiled upon him, and he is now in the enjoyment of a large share of this world's goods. He has still before him many years of activity, and it is altogether among the possibilities that he may yet dispose of his Eastern holdings and return to Anaheim to pass his remaining days under his own vine and fig tree. There is one thing which has always struck us as a principle that should be adopted and persistently lived up to by the farmers, especially: At a meeting of the directors of the Citizens' bank on Monday, the resignation of W. T. Brown as one of the directors was unanimously accepted, and Peter Weisel, Sr., was elected a director and Vice President in Mr. Brown's place. Mr. Weisel is a gentleman of large wealth, extensive business experience and ripe judgment, and his selection as one of the directors of the institution cannot but add to its stability, but to its popularity as well, for he is one of the most popular of our citizens. He is the owner of the cannery, and is interested otherwise in the upbuilding of the community. His excellent qualities are known all men, and he is held in the highest esteem throughout the community. Mr. Cahen continues as President and John Hartung as Chairman upon securing the co-operation of a man of the wealth and business qualities of Mr. Weisel, and the resultant good cannot but be felt throughout the community. Weather Report. U. S. Department of Agriculture. California Section. Climate and Crop Service. Weather Bureau. Feb. 12. General Summary.-Generally clear, pleasant weather has prevailed during the week, with temperatures above the normal. Light sprinkles of rain in portions of the Sacramento valley and Southern California were of no particular benefit to crops and did no harm. Dry northerly winds were beneficial in the northern portion of the State, in absorbing the surplus moisture sufficiently to permit farmers to resume plowing and seeding, but in Southern California the continued dry weather accompanied by high winds in some sections, is causing considerable apprehension among farmers, as the grain is turning yellow, and serious results are feared if rain does not fall within the month. Frosts occurred during the week, but were generally too light to injure early fruits. Grain is still in good condition in most sections, with good prospects of a large crop, but rain will be needed soon in the San Joaquin valley. Nearly all reports show that an unusually large acreage of grain has been planted and there is not one single word of truth in all this, of course. The water in the city wells has lowered, as it lowers every year, but that the city entertains a particle of concern about it is so ludicrously untrue as to be more than laughable. The amount of water pumped has shown not a particle of diminution, and the yarn about the wells not being able to stand a drain in case of fire is of course antrue. The years of drought have lowered the surface water, to be sure; but our protection in case of fire is ample, and no concern is felt over the situation. At a meeting of the directors of the Citizens' bank on Monday, the resignation of W. T. Brown as one of the directors was unanimously accepted, and Peter Weisel, Sr., was elected a director and Vice President in Mr. Brown's place.

There is one thing which has always struck us as a principle that should be adopted and persistently lived up to by the farmers, especially the smaller farmers, and that is, rearing and breeding and keeping the best, and nothing but the best, of stock of all description. Of course we understand that in too many instances this is far easier said than done, for the difference between pedigree and the want of it constitutes a very considerable number of dollars. But there is a long way be tween a full-blooded Jersey or Durham cow whose forefathers were prize winners at exhibitions a hundred years ago, and the scrub which people call a cow simply because she looks like one. All things considered the Jersey cow is the most profitable, and as a butter cow has broken the record everywhere. She also has the advantage of size, which means that there is a mighty difference in the quantity of alfalfa and pumpkins required to keep her up to her fullest capacity as a milker, and the quantity of the same ingredients necessary to keep an enormous Holstein up to her full capacity. For the smaller ranches, and nearly all the ranches are comparatively small which make dairying a business, the Jersey cow is the staple article. She may not fill a large bucket at a milk ing, but she will make up in the test all she loses in quantity. And so if it pays to keep the best possible cow on a ranch, considering, too, that the trouble in looking after her and the expense of keeping her are in every respect identical with the expenditure demanded by a scrub, it pays in the same way to keep the best breed of a hog you can possibly afford. The runt will never be anything but a Grain is still in good condition in most sections, with good prospects of a large crop, but rain will be needed soon in the San Joaquin valley. Nearly all reports show that an unusually large acreage of grain has been planted and that with the customary spring rains the yield will exceed that of last season. Pasturage continues good, except in the south, where feed is becoming scarce. Almonds and early deciduous fruits are advancing rapidly, with indications of an unusually large yield, if not injured by frosts. Citrus fruit trees are in excellent condition. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Continued warm, dry weather is causing some uneasiness among farmers, as grain is commencing to turn yellow, and unless rain falls during the month it is feared serious loss will result. In some sections farms are preparing for another dry year. Occasional dry northerly winds have also been injurious to vegetation, but did not damage fruit trees. Almond trees are in full bloom, with prospects of a large yield. Los Angeles Summary.—Warm, dry weather with high winds, intensified effect of drought, but was lessened in some cases by fog and traces of rain. Eureka Summary.—Plowing and seeding on uplands are progressing, but ground remains too wet for garden planting. Quince trees and currant bushes are leafing. Pasturage is green and abundant. A. G. McADIE, Section director. His Life Was Saved. Mr. E. J. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: "I was taken with typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can't say too much in its praise."

MANGATAREM, Luzon, P. I., January 2, 1900. Bro Helmsen:—Yours of November 24th received, and was glad to hear from you. I see that you are much troubled as to the actions of some of the Fullerton brethren in Masonry. Can't you impress upon their minds that if they wish a lodge at Fullerton that they have the same rights and privileges of establishing one there, as much so as at any other place. But they should not try to move those that are doing good work where they are; and they as men and Masons should help each lodge all they can, no matter where it is located. Even the half civilized and treacherous Filipinos respect the Square and Compass, so much so that when a Mason is taken prisoner they send a guard to see that he is returned to his organization, and will not keep him a prisoner of war. If Masonry has such an elevating effect upon them, what should it be to a body of talent such as I know there is in the lodge at Anaheim. They should learn to forget personal interest, and live to promote each other's welfare and rejoice in each other's prosperity. When I come back I hope to meet you and other Masons at Anaheim lodge, No. 207. I sent you a long letter three or four weeks ago about the work of the Thirty-six regiment, so I don't feel much like refighting any of the old battles. On or about December 12th we left Mangatarem and took a mountain trip, and all the climbing that a regiment of soldiers ever accomplished I think that ours was in the lead. If not, I will always think so, considering the conditions. We had about 100 pack mules laden with provisions and ammunition. We made a distance of about 140 miles in 15 days. Had one little fight that resulted in having one of our First Lieutenants wounded in the left leg; but we killed 10 or 12 Gugus and took about 15 prisoners and guns. We stopped for Christmas at a small town named Sual. I don't think there were any stockings hung up, as we went to sleep on the floors of shacks. My socks were chock-a-block the next morning with my swollen feet, and from the cursing and limping that could be heard and seen, I thought other socks besides mine must be full from the effects of a Christmas "rough hike." I won't mention our meals on for they were the worst half THE NEW GREAT REGISTER. If Your Name is Already on the Old Register, You Can Vote in April. Judge Shanley is registering a voter now and then, to keep his hand in. The Judge read in a Pittsburg paper the other day an account of a couple of fat New York policemen, one weighing 350 pounds and the other nearly as much, taking a hack for the Waldorf Astoria hotel. While on the way to the caravansy their weight proved to be too much for the vehicle and the bottom fell out. There was so much traffic and noise on the street that the driver failed to notice the accident, and as he continued on his way at a spanking gait, the two cops had to exercise their legs in great shape to keep from being run over. They were forced to run for their lives for several blocks before their predicament became known, and then the driver stopped and let them out. This story was too funny for his Honor, and he knocked off work for the day, registering no more voters; he told the story to every one he came across, until he got in a game of seat at Fritz's. A number of voters have registered even though their names are already on the old Register. Every once in a while one hears a revival of the story that the old register is no good, and that unless one has re-registered he cannot vote in April. This is, of course, a mistake. The old Great Register will be used at the city election, and if your name is on the list you will be entitled to vote. But voters will have to register in order to vote at the general election in November. Many voters are registering now to get the subject out of the way. The entry for the name of each elector on the new Register must show: The name at length. The age, omitting fractions of years. The occupation. The height. Visible marks or scars, if any, and location. Place of residence, giving ward and precinct, and where possible giving name of street, avenue or other location of the dwelling of such elector, with number of dwelling, if it has a number, and if not, then such description that it can be readily ascertained and identified. If elector is not head of the house, the entry must show that fact and on what floor and what room the elector occupies in the house. If naturalized, the place of naturalization. The postoffice address. Whether the elector can read and write English, and if unable to mark his ballot from physical disability, it EASTERN PEAR BLIGHT. Horticultural Commissioner Huntington Gives Advice Relative to Treating this New Tree Disease. EDITOR GAZETTE:—This disease first made its appearance in the southern counties of this State during the spring and summer of last year. As soon as I discovered it I submitted some of the affected branches to Prof. Pierce of Santa Ana, who pronounced it genuine Eastern pear blight. The bacillus in this disease remain alive through the winter in a partly dormant condition at the point where the diseased part merges into the healthy stock. As soon as spring comes these germs spring into active life and in a short time become so numerous that they ooze from the bark in gummy masses. Insects and birds are attracted to this gum, and by visiting it and going to other trees they distribute the germs of disease. I find this blight pretty general over this district. The earlier varieties seem to have suffered more than the later kinds. While I know of no cure for this disease, I advise a thorough inspection of the pear orchards and the cutting away and burning of all affected parts, being careful to cut well down into the green wood. All trees that are too far gone should be grubbed up and burned. This work should be carefully done leaving no trace of diseased timber. The shear or knife used should never be run through diseased branches and then into the green, or the germs may be left on the remaining stab. This is a matter that the growers should attend to at once before the disease develops with the coming sap. L. Z. HUNTINGTON, Horticultural Commissioner. SAN DIEGO RACE. How Three Clean Shirts Went Down from Santa Ana to See Tom Morris Win. From the Santa Ana Bulletin. Several years ago it was rumored that Tom Morris was going to run a foot race in San Diego. I wanted to see that race, so I raked in a new collar and clean bandkernief, and was prepared to go... Dick Harris went home, threw down the bogus telegram, yelled for a clean shirt and a cold lunch, which was ready, and he was on time... George Ford dashed home in a flurry that threw his charming wife into convulsions, and The following comprised the delegates of the various interests: J. Slauson, representing the Chamber Commerce; J. O. Koepi, Board Trade; Frank Simpson, Merchants Association; Naltzger, Southern California Exchange; E. S. Moulton, Consolidated Forwarding Company, and W. Perry, Mutual Shipping's Association. The Southern Pacific Company represented by Third Vice President J. C. Stubbs, Freight Traffic Manager William Sproul and Assistant General Freight Agent G. W. Luce. The Sa Fe's representatives were Second Vice President Paul Morton, Assistant Treasurer W. A. Bissell, General Freight Agent Edward Chambers and General Agent W. G. Barnwell. E. T. Earl of the Earl Fruit Company was with other shippers, denied admission. The whole question of routing, shipping, private car lines and controlling consignments was presented by Prudents Morton, Stubbs, Nattzger, others in addresses that consumed several hours each, preventing a luncheon, the conference reaching adjournment at a late hour in the evening. The conclusions reached and concessions granted by the initial letter at the expiration of two years when the leases made with Earl, mourn and other owners expire, and modification of the routing clause. Fruit men are, as a class, placed on equal footing, and this means that rebate and money concessions system will pass out of existence. Successive Waves.

The horses, the small, hardy breed of the steppes, are worked up to the last ounce in them, on good road or bad, and when they reach the welcome post-house are tied up under a mere lean to and there left all in a lather to freeze stiff until their turn of service comes round again.

On taking them out for another stage the driver, whose whip has a sort of saw tooth arrangement affixed to the end on the side of the stock opposite the lash, roughly scrapes off with it the hoar frost which has thickly incrusted their legs and, indeed, their whole bodies. At first the poor beasts walk with the gait of a Dutch doll; but, as the driver says, he "soon warms them up." Another peculiarity of these marvelous steeds is that they always get a painful or more of ice cold water to drink before starting out for their "trick" on the road, with the result that they tremble all over in a manner pitiable to see, but otherwise seem to be only the more fit for their work.—Blackwood. James Whitcomb Riley's Joke. James Whitcomb Riley and Nye were a peculiar pair. They were everlastingly playing practical jokes. I remember when we were riding together in the smoking compartment between Columbus and Cincinnati. Mr. Nye was a great smoker, and Mr. Riley did not dislike tobacco. An old farmer came over to Mr. Nye and said: "Are you Mr. Riley? I heard you was on the train." No, I am not Mr. Riley. He is over there." "I knew his father, and I would like to speak with him." Oh, speak with him, yes. But he is deaf, and you want to speak loud." So the farmer went over to him and said in a loud voice: "Is this Mr. Riley?" "Er—what?" "Is this Mr. Riley?" "What did you say?" "Is this Mr. Riley?" Successive Waves. The following walt is going the leases made with Earl, Arand other owners expire, and a citation of the routing clause.
