Some of the Peatland farmers are now said to be agitating the question of the formation of a drainage district, the outlet to be the center of the disturbing dam some time ago erected across the channel at Bolsa Chica bay by the gun club of that name. The suit brought at the instance of these parties (the expenses of which the Board of Supervisors have saddled upon the people of the county) seems now to be in a fair way of abandonment, if one may believe the reports one hears on the streets; because the club, being composed of "millionaires," may "wear out the farmers in the courts," so runs the story. How untenable the position of the Peatlanders was in the first instance may be arrived at by the fact that their leaders sought to make a case against the club, first, by taking testimony before the Supervisors, and secondly by taking an appeal from the decision of that tribunal "to the Governor," as Mr. Hazard stated to the assembled wisdom of the board. Imprimis, the Supervisors have no authority to take testimony in the case, which may be within the province of a court of justice, perhaps; but is clearly without their jurisdiction; secundus, it would avail little if, after taking such testimony, an appeal were to be taken, according to Mr. Hazard, "to the Governor." Clearly, it is in a court of justice where the question of damages must ultimately be tried, not with the Supervisors, nor yet with the Governor. But now after the people of the county have been saddled with the expense of fighting the suit brought by those people reports are rife that along, he votes to saddle upon the taxpayers a bill of expense which Mr. Cole and his co-conspirators should themselves be forced to pay. There is another aspect of this unfortunate situation. The Bolsa Chica land company, which owns the gun preserve, has work laid out, according to the President of the company, to the extent of a quarter of million dollars. This work has been brought to a sudden standstill by the suit of Hazard and Cole against it. Already $55,000 has been expended in improvements, and a vast amount of work has been provided for labor during the past half year. The work, it was confidently expected, would be continued for years, giving employment to a constantly increasing number of mechanics and day laborers, but it is now, as a result of this suit, brought to a standstill. We say again, that the Bolsa Chica land company have not the right to cause damage to contiguous property, even in the slightest degree; and we know the members of the company are most anxious to abstain from any such entanglements. Yet at the same time the company should not be harrassed, and this work of improvement brought to a standstill, simply because Mr. Cole is desirous of tapping the company for a few thousand dollars, and because Mr. Hazard may wax eloquent over the "interference" of a "navigable stream" which no one ever heard of as a navigable stream before. Miss Annie Irvin, who owns a residence on Emily street, has chopped down the trees in front of the house preparatory to moving it, so we are informed, to Fullerton. If reports current about the transaction are true, Miss Irvin has been given some very poor advice. We hear that it will cost her $200 for moving the house, and that the lot selected for its new location is held at as much more. It is further said that she contemplates going into debt to this amount in order to carry out the advice which some "disinterested" ince of a court of justice, perhaps; but is clearly without their jurisdiction; secundus, it would avail little if, after taking such testimony, an appeal were to be taken, according to Mr. Hazard, "to the Governor." Clearly, it is in a court of justice where the question of damages must ultimately be tried, not with the Supervisors, nor yet with the Governor. But now after the people of the county have been saddled with the expense of fighting the suit brought by these people, reports are rife that the case will not be pressed for trial after all; but that the Peatlanders will "beat the devil about the bush" by organizing a drainage district, with its outlet cleaving the obstreperous dam, as a speedier means of "getting to the collar" of the "millionaire" gun club. How much damage have the Peat landers, owning land contiguous to the club's territory, suffered by virtue of the existence of the dam? One of the Supervisors (Potter) has informed us that, in his opinion, after a recent inspection of the dam and the surrounding country, not a Peatlander had suffered loss so much as was represented by a ten-cent piece. Yet when the Peat settlers charge the Supervisors in force, Mr. Potter finds it convenient to leave his seat in the boardroom and absent himself from the greater part of the "deliberations" of the board! "He had no patience with the specious arguments," no less probably than with the fist-thwacking gymnastics of Mr. Cole, and so he departed, but returned in time to vote to saddle the expense of the subsequently evolved suit upon the people of the county. But it seems to us that if the gun club has damaged those Peatlanders owning lands contiguous to them, the proper course for them to pursue is to settle their case with their "tormentors" alone, and not drag the taxpayers of the county into the fight, to share their portion of the expenses of the suit. Supervisor Pixley said in the board meeting that he did not believe the Supervisors had the right to order the dam to be taken out of the channel, yet when the resolution was changed to read that the "obstruction" be removed (not the dam, mind you), Mr. Pixley strikes a balance with his conscience and votes to saddle the expense of the trial upon the taxpayers of the county; just to see, we presume, if the Supervisors, having no right to remove the dam, might peradventure be permitted to remove the "obstruction" caused by the dam! Mr. Pixley is a solon of luminous wisdom, sure! Mr. Hazard's assertion, made with a burst of positiveness, that, unless dence on Emily street, has chopped down the trees in front of the house preparatory to moving it, so we are informed, to Fullerton. If reports current about the transaction are true, Miss Irvin has been given some very poor advice. We hear that it will cost her $200 for moving the house, and that the lot selected for its new location is held at as much more. It is further said that she contemplates going into debt to this amount in order to carry out the advice which some "disinterested" person is giving her. If this be so, we doubt not there exists a deep-laid scheme to deprive her of her property. She will leave behind her, when she moves her house from its present location, a good well, which will cost $100 to duplicate at the new site. Here is an indebtedness of $500 which she will be put to before she can hope for a renter. How long will it take the house to repay this amount, even if a renter be found at the start? True, her house has not been rented in its present location for some time. The location is good—one of the best in town; and we doubt not that, with the addition of a little paint, could be rented to advantage at short notice. Certainly the chances of renting the house here are as good as at Fullerton. Let Miss Irvin have a talk with her real estate agents and see whether a tenant cannot be found. If we are correctly informed, people have meddled in this affair when they had best be minding their own business. At any rate, the lady ought to ponder well the subject of moving before going into debt to the extent of $500, with the possibility of losing house, lot and all to some conscienceless shark whose desire ultimately to own the property may furnish the key to the "disinterested" advice he seems to have been giving her. Even the horses seemed to enter into the necessities of the case, and scrambled up and silld down the steep banks, patiently dragging the plows and scrapers in a round of what must seem to them useless toll.—Orange Post. A syllogism that concludes that the horses should "enter into the necessities" of a case which seems to them to be "useless," must allow in large measure for the patience of the animals, to be sure! But, in the words of Man from Cohoes, how does the Post figure it? One Woman's New Way In Which To Pay Social Debts.

Mr. Pixley is a solon of luminous wisdom, sure! Mr. Hazard's assertion, made with a burst of positiveness, that, unless the dam were removed, in two years half the entire population between the Peat and the county seat would be dead of malaria, shows the extreme nature of his position. His reckoning seems to be as much at fault in this case, as his argument for an appeal of his case from the Supervisors to the Governor: if not incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial, then foolhardy to the last degree, as being an altogether unheard of proposition in the jurisprudence of the commonwealth. But it develops that Mr. Hazard's side partner (Mr. Cole of the thwacking fist and shotgun) has a method in his madness, even if Mr. Hazard's law points are awry. Mr. Cole has a forty-acre tract of land adjoining the gun club's possessions which he seems to be desirous of selling. Recently he stated that a year ago the forty could have been purchased for $1500. Later he claims to have paid $1500 for it. Now it is "damaged" to such an extent by "overflow" that he could not think of parting with it for less than $8000! Is it for the purpose of bolstering up this man's preposterous claim that the people of the county have been put to the expense of fighting a case brought by Hazard, Cole and others, who may scent rich pickings among the "millionaire" gun-club men? The charges against the gun club are preposterous. Supervisor Potter himself has stated that, in his opinion, not a Peatlander has sustained damage to the extent of a ten-cent piece; yet, in order to help Mr. Cole and his $8000 tract of land large measure for the patience of the animals, to be sure! But, in the words of the Man from Cohoes, how does the Post figure it? One Woman's New Way In Which to Pay Social Debts.

It was not this season, but it wasn't so long ago but that plenty of people can remember the circumstances. I had among my patients an elderly woman who lived with the daughter's family. The daughter lived, if not beyond her means, at least up to the very edge, went out a great deal and was entertained a great deal. "The mother fell sick with a complaint which I knew would prove fatal. I did not inform the family till one day the daughter asked me to tell her frankly what her mother's condition was and just how long she could live. I told her that the old lady could not possibly last more than a fortnight. She begged me not to let anybody know how serious the case was. She didn't want her young daughters distressed, she said. "Of course I told nobody, and just a week after that I read in the papers that Mrs. Dash, the daughter of my dying patient, had sent out invitations for a large dancing party, to be given on an evening a fortnight away. My patient did not live as long as I had expected. The day after she died I read in the papers that 'owing to the sudden death of her mother Mrs. Dash had been compelled to recall her invitations.'" "She had never intended to give a ball. She could not have afforded it, and she 'bluffed.' I have cold shivers every time I see her."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Millions Given Away.

Considerable discussion is yet heard relative to the matter of the new registration, although it is now pretty well understood that the old register will be used at the municipal election to be held April 2d. New voters whose names are not upon that register may register up to 15 days prior to that election. But all voters must register for the general election in November. Some of the interesting points of the new law are as follows: 1095. In the great register the clerk must, as hereafter provided, enter the names of the qualified electors of the county. 1096. Such entry must show: 1. The name at length. 2. The age, omitting fractions of years. 3. The occupation. 4. The height. 5. The visible marks or scars, if any, and their location. 6. The county or State of nativity. 7. The place of residence, giving ward or precinct; and in a municipal corporation by specifying the name of the street, avenue or other location of the dwelling of such elector, with the number of such dwelling, if the same has a number, and if not, then with such description of the place that it can readily be ascertained and identified. If the elector be not the proprietor or head of the house, then it must show that fact, and upon what floor thereof, and what room such elector occupies in the house. 8. If naturalized, the place of naturalization. 9. The date of the entry of each person. 10. The postoffice address. 11. The fact whether or not the elector desiring to be registered is able to read the constitution in the English language and to write his name, and whether or not the elector has any physical disability by reason of which he cannot mark his ballot; and if he cannot mark his ballot by reason of physical disability, then the nature of such disability must be entered. 1097. No person's name must be entered by the clerk unless: 1. Upon the production and filing of a certified copy of the Superior Court directing such entry to be made. 2. If a naturalized citizen, upon the production of his certificate of naturalization which certificate must be issued. Weather Report: U.S. Department of Agriculture, California Section and Crop Service, Weather Bureau, Feb. 19. General summary.-The temperature for the week has been considerably above the normal, and conditions have been favorable for farm work, as but light showers have fallen in portions of the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys and in the coast and bay sections. Frosts have been frequent throughout the State, but were too light to injure early fruits. Great progress has been made in plowing, seeding and cultivating. In some localities plowing and seeding are completed for the season. There has been a large acreage of grain planted, and with favorable conditions during the spring and early summer it is probable the yield of wheat, barley and oats will exceed that of last season. In the central and northern portions of the State grain continues thrify, but would be benefited by rain. In Southern California and some portions of the middle and southern coast counties, much grain has turned yellow, and unless rain falls within a few days it is feared great loss will ensue. Almonds are in full bloom in nearly all parts of the State, and apricots, peaches and Japanese prunes are advancing rapidly. A large yield of all varieties of deciduous fruits is predicted, if not injured by late frost. Citrus fruit trees continue in good condition. Pasturage is excellent in the central and northern sections, but is scarce in the south, and greatly in need of rain. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. The weather has continued warm and dry with temperature above the normal, and drying winds in some sections. These conditions, with the scanty seasonal rainfall, are causing considerable apprehension among farmers and orchardists. Much grass has turned yellow, and if rain does not fall within a few days grain will make only a light crop of hay; in some localities it is feared the crop will be a total loss if the drought continues longer. Deciduous fruit buds are advancing rapidly, and almond, orange and lemon trees are in bloom. Light frosts occurred during the week. Eureka Summary: Farm work on highlands is progressing rapidly. Young grain is growing finely. Potato fields are being plowed, and orchardists are spraying. Some plowing is being done on the lowlands. Los Angeles Summary: In the northern section upland grain is suffering seriously from drought, and there has been but little growth. Late and valley grain is in fair condition. Feed is failing, but is slightly better southward. Orange, lemon and almond trees are blooming. Irrigation is increasing. A.G.MCADIE,Section Director.

A rich, luscious, ripe strawberry in midwinter is a rarity; and just how they can be produced abundantly many would like to know. Usually the berries that are on the market are picked before they are ripe, and eaten by tourists, who, with the help of an abundance of sugar, manage to get the whiff of a flavor of the strawberry from the concoction. It is claimed by some because of a “lack of sunshine” that the berries do not color well in cool weather, and in support of their theory point to berries that are partly rotten before they are ripe.Put in other words，“too much wind” keeps the air and ground cool, so that the plants do not have a vigorous growth, and cannot ripen its fruit quickly enough to prevent the sun from scalding the upper surface, or decay setting in where there is contact with the moist earth.The season, owing to its warmth has been very favorable,and one man has improved the “climate” for his berries,bY driving a few stakes for the support of some sash over his plants,and has reaped quite a reward in having a nice lot of berries to put on the market at a good price.To succeed well,一 should commence the summer before by letting the most vigorous plants set a limited quantity of runners,and have them ready to transplant about September or October; then cultivate and irrigate in such a manner that the plants will make a steady healthy growth.Many plant in rows one foot apart,and run water in every spaceThis is not good policyIf every third row were omitted,and the ground kept cultivated around the plants with a toothed hoe or rake,not too deeply of course insteadof its being trumped upon when wetand made hard,much better resultswould be obtained.The plants that win in the long run are neither starved nor forced,但 have received the bestof care during their entire lifetime.After trying several kinds in one locality it will generally be found that some do much better than others. New kinds from places where the climate is very different should be tested at least two years,fork a plant,如 a person,must be acclimated before they can do their best.Along the coast in Southern California Laxton's Noble does well the entire year,而 only eight or ten miles inland the Arizona alone is planted,and large quantities grown though it does not fruit much during cool weather.Some have tried the Saltzer,and recommend it for winter fruiting.Obsolutely frostless places can be used successfully,或 some form of protection which will prevent that disadvantage.The use of water in just the right proportion to produce A Pasadena correspondent Angeles paper writes as cerning the arrest: PASADENA,Feb 15,-Shi9 o'clock evening,CoyLeewith Officers Goltamham,visted the Hotel Milk search warrant.The proIn a little locked room back with two men。When he knocked at the door of the Mitchell threw the spring him in.“You're arrested.Marshal. “What are you-electiontoget your name in the pMitchell jocosely. “You may get your n papers,”retorted the marrsAfter this little pleaser officers took possession of fourous supplies in sight,c barrel partly filled with wineof wine,a bottle of Scotchroom was equipped withthe usual facilities forLandlord Mitchell wasfore the city recorder at o timefor entering his pleaSaturday morning at 10claimed that he kept thel prejudice against the liquiPasadena is such that hisnot get a fair trial.The clined to grant a changesuch grounds,and the derted a plea of not guilty,trial will be fixed later.

The Earl of Wemyss was on a Flife golf course not long ago, accompanied by an old caddle. His lordship got his ball on one occasion so near the hole that to play it was, as it appeared to him, superfluous. So he simply tiped it in with the toe of his boot. The caddie revolted instanter, threw down the clubs and looked horrified. When he found words to speak, it was say, "Hang it, me lord, gowf's gowf!" MITCHELL'S "BLIND PIG." A Party of Drinkers "Put Spees on Him," and the Marshal Arrives and Places "Mitch" Under Arrest. The Pasadena Star of Friday evening last comes to hand with the following account of the arrest of N. H. Mitchell, who is running a "blind-pig" resort in that Prohibition town: "About 9 o'clock last evening Marshal Lacey and Officers Goltman and Pinkham visited Hotel Mitchell, armed with a search warrant, and arrested Mitchell upon a charge of violating Ordinance 220. The Marshal found Mitchell and two other men in a little room, the doors of which had been locked. The room contained a sideboard and a quantity of liquor, which was confiscated by the officers. Recorder Klamroth was summoned to the court and Mitchell arraigned. Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock was the time set for the pleading. Mitchell claimed that he kept the liquor for the accommodation of his guests, and had not sold it contrary to the law. He deposited $250 cash bail for his appearance Saturday. Marshal Lacey saw two men enter the room, followed them in, heard glasses clinking, and waited outside the door until the men started to come out, when he stepped in and informed Mr. Mitchell he had a search warrant. A barrel in the room had a key faucet and by manipulating the lock with a knife blade the marshal assured himself its contents were whiskey, and that was seized. While officers Pinkham and Goltman were with the marshal in the hotel, Officer Reynolds was on the outside to prevent escape should any be made through the window. On Oct. 14, 1898, the records show that N. H. Mitchell was arrested on a charge of violation of the same ordinance, at which time he pleaded guilty and was fined $125, which he paid. On the present case he will plead tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock." A Pasadena correspondent of a Los Angeles paper writes as follows concerning the arrest: PASADENA, Feb, 15.—Shortly before 9 o'clock this evening, City Marshal Lacey, with Officers Goltman and Pinkham, visited the Hotel Mitchell with a search warrant. The proprietor was in a little locked room back of the office with two men. When the marshal knocked at the door of the little room Mitchell threw the spring lock and let him in. "You're arrested," said the Marshal. What are you—electioneering, so as to get your name in the paper?" asked Mitchell justly. A Pasadena correspondent of a Los Angeles paper writes as follows concerning the arrest: PASADENA, Feb. 15.—Shortly before 9 o'clock this evening, City Marshal Lacey, with Officers Goltman and Pinkham, visited the Hotel Mitchell with a search warrant. The proprietor was in a little locked room back of the office with two men. When the marshal knocked at the door of the little room Mitchell threw the spring lock and let him in. "You're arrested," said the Marshal. "What are you—electioneering, so as to get your name in the paper?" asked Mitchell jocosely. "You may get your name in the papers," retorted the marshal. After this little pleasantry, the officers took possession of all the spiritual supplies in sight, consisting of a barrel partly filled with whisky, a jug of wine, a bottle of Scotch, etc. The room was equipped with a sideboard and the usual facilities for drinking. Landlord Mitchell was arraigned before the city recorder at once, and the time for entering his plea was fixed for Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. He claimed that he kept the liquors for the accommodation of his guests, and had not sold contrary to the ordinance. He furnished $250 cash ball. This is his second appearance in this role. Walter Bacon, attorney for Mitchell, landlord of Hotel Mitchell, appeared before the Recorder on Monday morning, to which date the hearing had been postponed, and asked for a change of venue on the ground that the public prejudice against the liquor traffic in Pasadena is such that his client could not get a fair trial. The Recorder declined to grant a change of venue on such grounds, and the defendant entered a plea of not guilty. The date of trial will be fixed later. A Japanese Dinner. He who does not like the way the Japanese cook fish must be hard to please. They are better fish cooks than the French. The Japanese waters are very prolific, and the natives seem to have learned in cooking to preserve the inherent flavor of the fish, while their sauces are very simple. And as for eels, as they are cooked at the kandagawa, a tea house in Tokyo, he who has tasted them has established a standard in his mind by which to judge other eels. Seaweed we had, too, thin as paper, and crisp. It is the weed of the sea that is left on the rocks and scraped from them by the fisher women with shells and then dried in the sun. It is eaten as a relish and has a delicate flavor, suggesting cinnamon. Rice we had in abundance. It was served from a bucket (not unlike ours, but not quite so deep) of unpainted white pine, with a little wooden shovel somewhat like those our children use in playing at the seashore. Our rice bowls were filled again and yet again, and when we covered our bowls it meant we had finished dinner. I have seen the Japanese look with indifference at a fish cooked in a way that made my mouth fairly water with desire, but when they are served with rice it receives their immediate attention.—Harper's Magazine.

It is pleasant to learn, if one has Napoleon I on the hero list, that he had very dainty habits in personal matters; that he was fastidiously clean in his person, according to an article in a French contemporary, and poured eau de cologne into the water he washed in, then sponged his head with perfume and finally poured the remainder of the contents of the flask over the neck and shoulders. He was also extravagantly fond of clean linen and during his campaigns had relays of it sent to different places. In those days it did not cost a farm to have "starched things" laundered, for, in account with a famous laundress in Paris, the emperor's "linen" for one "wash" amounted to 386 pieces and cost only a trifle over $20. This strikes an American as very reasonable. But his majesty never wore any article but once, and as he always undressed himself without aid from his valet his garments were literally "cast" to the four corners of the room. Napoleon's bill for eau de cologne, however, exceeded the washerwoman's by a large majority. It is a relief to learn that the Little Corporal was so much a dude. Some of his predecessors in the Tullerles were not blessed with such excellent habits, if history is to be relied upon. A Rat Story. "One day not long ago," said a brick manufacturer, "one of my workmen saw three rats carrying a straw across the brickyard. It seemed such an unusual sort of proceeding that he stopped his work to watch them. Two of the rats held the straw at opposite ends while the third supported the center. They were making straight for the river which flowed by one side of the yard. When they arrived at the bank, they laid down the straw and took a long drink. Then they proceeded to take up the straw again in the same manner as before and returned by the same way they had come. "This so interested the workman that he determined to watch if they would come again. And sure enough, at about the same time the next day, they appeared, carrying the straw ex- A Doubting Father, One warm midsummer day Steve found himself seated under the old Baldwin apple tree, with the half hull of a red hearted watermelon in his lap. Old Mr. B., busy with the other half, paused now and then to ask Steve about his new job, how many cigars he smoked in a day, what they cost and what he paid for his fine clothes. Presently he wanted to know what they called his boy on the road—conductor, brakeman or what? "They call me the general freight agent, father," said Steve. "That's a mighty big name, Steve." "Yes, father; it's rather a big job, too, for me." "But ye don't do it all, Steve. Ye must have hands to help you load and unload?" "Oh, yes, I have a lot of help!" "And the company pays them all?" "Yes." "How much do they pay you, Steve—$2 a day?" Steve almost strangled on a piece of core, and the old gentleman saw that he had guessed too low. "Three?" he ventured. "More than that, father." "Ye don't mean to say they pay ye as much as fl-v-e?" "Yes, father; more than 25." The old man let the empty hull fall between his knees, stared at his boy and whistled. "Say, Steve," he asked earnestly, "are ye worth it?"—Lippincott's Magazine. Working Night and Day. The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr. King's New Life pills.
