Heim Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1900. MEXICO IS ADVANCING. Marked Change in Social Conditions Within Twenty Years—Four Grades of Inhabitants. Mexican social conditions have only begun to show any marked progress for the better in the last twenty years. No better example can be found of the general state of affairs than the national capital itself, and a short sketch of the changes now taking place, or which have occurred during the last few years, may be useful as an indication of the stage of social development reached in greater or less degree throughout the republic. It is undeniably true that in some respects the traits of Spanish character inherited from the early colonists act as a serious deterrent to the adoption of the higher principles of modern-day civilization—notably so in the direction of a gambling spirit widely diffused throughout the population, and of a love for such spectacles as bull fights, which pervades nearly all classes of society. The material improvements of an economic description now being effected are of the greatest importance to Mexican national life, and, in view of the fact that they have a most direct bearing upon social conditions generally, it is necessary to refer briefly to some of the most prominent of the public works already successfully accomplished for the object of advancing the public welfare, and to others recently undertaken, with every prospect of being carried to a happy conclusion in the immediate future. The City of Mexico was built in a lake, and for long years after the Spanish conquest canals in place of roads formed the regular means of communication from one quarter of the town to from one proprietor to another. These peons have certain privileges, and are by no means harshly treated by their masters as a rule, but they cannot leave the service of the owner of the hacienda without first canceling the debt they owe for advances they may have received in the shape of money, clothing or other articles. It is seldom that the nominal wage paid by the employers is sufficient to cover this indebtedness. By law a peon may ask for three days' leave to look for another employer who may be willing to engage his services and discharge his obligations to his master. At the close of the third day the man must return to his work, or in default is liable to arrest and punishment. This feudal system has resulted in the gradual creation of an oligarchy composed of the Mexican landed proprietors, and this element of aristocracy is one of the pervading features of the country, notwithstanding the fact that it is totally opposed to all the ethics of later day republicanism. Throughout the republic the custom of extending hospitality to friends and passing strangers is almost invariably practiced, and the best the house contains is given unstintedly and ungrudginally. The mixed race of whites and Indians has few individual characteristics. As a rule the white or the Indian blood predominates to an extent which absorbs one or the other nationality, and the half-breed becomes consequently merged into the white or Indian section of the population. As a matter of fact, the majority of Mexican families have a trace of Indian blood in their veins, and it is considered in no way derogatory to personal dignity that this should be the case. An example in point is President Diaz, whose appearance bears ample testimony of his Indian descent through one or the other of his parents. The Indian population forming the greater part of the inhabitants of Mexico, is docile and seldom the cause of any serious disturbances or trouble of any kind. The Indians are not deficient in natural intelligence, notwithstanding the fact that the treatment GUN CLUB WILL PLANT CHOICE A Crop Will Be Raised on the Lower Of Their Land, Which Has Been Claimed from the Action of Tide Water. The Bolsa Chica Land company poses immediately to plant corn very considerable amount of their planting will be done on land was formerly considered as suburb by the tides, and therefore worked. The land proposed to be planted lower than the lands of any settlements district, and has been responsible for irrigation only by rebuilding the construction of the dam across Bolsa Chica channel, and the loss of the water to a permanent affect by the tides. This one fact would seem to speak volume to the enlightenment of our friend at the thwacking fist, who claims he has been "ruined" by the floods of the tide, and who therefore must sell out for the sum of $8000 tract consists of 40 acres, for which paid a year ago the sum of $4500 years ago, before the boom in land was held at $1200. Facts are not wanting to show Cole bought the land on a "station," and his attitude toward club is possessed of the earliness "hold-up." The former owner's land now lives near this city, where owns a tract of land for which $1200. He states that he would trade his present holding for a mer property at Bolsa Chica on terms. The Cole place was for considered as flooded land, most part, and the "jumping price to six or seven times its glitimate value has a queer appeal to say least. The gun club had in view to Mexican national life, and in view of the fact that they have a most direct bearing upon social conditions generally, it is necessary to refer briefly to some of the most prominent of the public works already successfully accomplished for the object of advancing the public welfare, and to others recently undertaken, with every prospect of being carried to a happy conclusion in the immediate future. The City of Mexico was built in a lake, and for long years after the Spanish conquest canals in place of roads formed the regular means of communication from one quarter of the town to another. The Spaniards endeavored to change this condition of affairs, both on account of the unsanitary state arising from the presence of stagnant water surrounding the dwellings of rich and poor alike, and also on the score of greater convenience for locomotion purposes. Repeated efforts were made to drain the valley in which the city lay, but for three centuries the task proved beyond the powers of Spanish and Mexican administrations. The canals, however, were filled up in course of time, and protecting walls built to restrain the waters of the surrounding lakes from flooding the town in the rainy reason. These conditions were never satisfactory, and in unusually wet seasons inundations constantly occurred in the city owing to the breaking down of the lake barriers. In Maximilian's time it was decided to tunnel the mountains shutting in the valley, and by means of a canal from the lakes to this tunnel to control effectively the danger of any rising of the waters. This great work was finished in 1895, and its effect upon the economic and social conditions of the national capital are already apparent in many directions. There is now an absolute immunity from fear of infundation; new and handsome buildings are in course of construction in all quarters of the city; a system of drainage is being laid, and in some places the work is far advanced; the paving of streets on approved modern methods has been begun; the comforts and necessities of the inhabitants are being cared for in a thoroughly systematic manner. Nor has the adoption of electricity for light and traction been neglected in this blossoming out of Mexican civilization into modern ways. An electric-car system is now being established throughout the capital and vicinity, and electric lighting is in common use for municipal and private purposes. A pure supply of good water has been secured for the city in place of the former open-aqueduct system, which prevailed for centuries. This necessary improvement has been completed in the course of the last ten years. Not least of the public benefits conceived and executed by President Diaz has been the construction of the great avenue leading from the south quarter of the capital to Chapultepec, a distance of some four miles, where the beautiful park, which stands the official residence of the President of the Republic, is open to all who may choose to enter. The material progress achieved by the improvements referred to has caused an evolution in social conditions in Mexico which would otherwise have taken many years to accomplish. The inhabitants have been influenced by their new surroundings; cleanliness in ordinary life has become more recognized as a real necessity to hygiene; the average Mexican of white descent has become more careful of appearances than hitherto, and has been divided into abandoned half-breed becomes consequently merged into the white or Indian section of the population. As a matter of fact, the majority of Mexican families have a trace of Indian blood in their veins, and it is considered in no way derogatory to personal dignity that this should be the case. An example in point is President Diaz, whose appearance bears ample testimony of his Indian descent through one or other of his parents. The Indian population forming the greater part of the inhabitants of Mexico, is docile and seldom the cause of any serious disturbances or trouble of any kind. The Indians are not deficient in natural intelligence, notwithstanding the fact that the treatment accorded them in the past has tended always, and succeeded greatly, in dwurfing all expansion of their natural powers, both mentally and physically. These people bear the stamp of oppression branded upon them in all phases of their lives. The result of the treatment meted out to the Indians by the Spaniards in the first instance, and later by the white Mexicans, has been to break down all spirit of independence and virile personality, and to kill all effort of initiative or enterprise in their lives. That this condition of affairs can endure much longer in the face of the economical development now proceeding in Mexico is impossible. Once the spirit of progress touches the mass of the Indian population an immense change will occur, and it will be a change for better in every sense of the word for Mexico, in spite of the feeling of antagonism that such a prospect arouses in the minds of that part of the inhabitants which now constitutes the oligarchic element. The foreign residents in Mexico are rapidly increasing in numbers as facilities of transport and communication become greater, and security for life and property grows stronger. The Spanish colony is, probably, the wealthiest and most numerous, especially in the national capital and other cities. Spain is well represented in all branches of Mexican commerce and trade, and their subjects have proved themselves to be a most useful and valuable addition to the community generally in Mexico. Next in importance to the Spaniards are the citizens of the United States so far as numbers are concerned, although as regards investment of capital they are at present in arrear of the British. The latter nationality has a very firm hold in Mexico, and many of the most prominent of the public works are due to funds provided for their execution by British capitalists. The German colony is firmly rooted, and every year draws fresh recruits from abroad to strengthen its ranks in Mexican trade and commerce. The French colony is by no means insignificant, but is chiefly engaged in the retail business of the larger cities, and is not very greatly in evidence on account of the comparatively slight influence it exercises throughout the community generally. The expense of living today in Mexico is little when imported articles are not required. The country produces all that is actually required to sustain life, except on occasions when a long spell of rainless weather causes the failure of the crops. Such distresses, however, are of comparatively rare occurrence, and should be entirely so if adequate arrangements were made for the storage of water for irrigation purposes. MARCH AND THE LION Something Better Than the Old Saw. The saying that the lion and the lamb in March often proves false, but there is another and a better one which Cole bought the land on a "station," and his attitude toward this club is possessed of the earrings "hold-up." The former owner land now lives near this city, which owns a tract of land for which $1200. He states that he would trade his present holding for a mer property at Bolsa Chica on terms. The Cole place was for considered as flooded land, most part, and the "jumping" price to six or seven times its gitimate value has a queer appeal to say the least. The gun club had in view penditure of a quarter of a millars upon its property at Bolsa Chica but the suit, instituted again Cole, Hazard and Supervisor who have set up the claim at dam across the channel "public nuisance," as it implies with the "navigability" stream, and if continued for two "will cause the death by one-half the population Westminster and Santa Ana," Mr. Hazard's words will exertency to stop all further work time being. The club has already expended 000 in improving its property money has gone, for most labor. A force of as high as was employed for months during greater part of last year, and a foolish suit not been brought forth of workmen would probably keep constantly at work during present year and next operations have been suspended an outcome of the suit will be before operations on new work must be started. The Bolsa drainage ditch having carrying off thousands of water, which is drained from lands into the ocean. Many have said, when viewing this stream running towards waste ocean, that if it could be treated a half dozen miles or so northward Garden Grove country, it worth millions of dollars. Fine stream of water should be when the Bolsa Chica land stand prepared to put it to thereby reclaiming tens of thousands acres of practically valueless indeed a great pity. In this newly-organized project to other drainage district, with having its outlet in the central dock across the channel (which settlers are said to have plained with a view to harass company and gun club) is almost contemptulated drain of water ocean will exert a perception upon the lowering of this water throughoutthe entire side for a dozen miles around fact that at any time in this county. The drought has an appreciable effect upon it but there are not lacking though firm that this constant drainwater from Peatlands is less affected upon it NEWPORT BEACH RAILWAY. Daily Schedule.

The social life in Mexico, for purpose of analysis, may be broadly divided into four parts, viz., the white Mexicans, the mixed race of white and Indians, the Indian population and the foreigners. The white Mexicans are, for the most part, the direct descendants of the Spanish colonists, and they retain in a marked degree many of the traits of their Spanish ancestry. This class is of a distinctly conservative tendency in habit and manner of life, both in the cities and in the country districts. Local customs have naturally crept into existence, and become a part of the national life, but these are to a very large extent founded on Spanish tradition and afterward preserved through succeeding generations until their origin is forgotten. The wide-brimmed hat with high-coned peak, and heavily ornamented with gold and silver bullion, is one of the relics of a custom banded down through centuries, and even today is the universal headwear in Mexico. The family life on the haciendas or ranches has changed little with the advance of civilization during the nineteenth century. The owner's house may be large or small as the case may be, but it is seldom that any attempt is made at luxury in regard to the internal adornment or fittings. The fare is abundant and good enough to satisfy the needs of nature, but it is ever of the simplest quality. A feudal system continues to exist in respect to the laborers employed on the ranch or farm; they are born and bred on the estate, and become part and parcel of the land, passing with the property The expense of living today in Mexico is little when imported articles are not required. The country produces all that is actually required to sustain life, except on occasions when a long spell of rainless weather causes the failure of the crops. Such distresses, however, are of comparatively rare occurrence, and should be entirely so if adequate arrangements were made for the storage of water for irrigation purposes. MARCH AND THE LION. Something Better Than the Old Saw. The saying that the lion and the lamb in March often proves false, but there is another and a better one which is literally true. When March comes in and finds you taking Hood's Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich and vitalize your blood, you may expect, when it goes out, that it will leave you free from that tired feeling and with none of the bolls, pimples and eruptions which manifest themselves because of impure blood in the spring. If you have not already begun taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for your spring medicine, we advise you to begin today. We assure you it will make you feel better all through the coming summer.

ON CLUB WILL PLANT CORN. Top Will Be Raised on the Lower Part of Their Land, Which Has Been Reclaimed from the Action of Tide Water. The Bolsa Chica Land company promises immediately to plant corn on a considerable amount of their land. It is planting will be done on land that formerly considered as submerged in the tides, and therefore worthless. The land proposed to be planted is more than the lands of any settler in district, and has been rendered usable of irrigation only by reason of construction of the dam across the Bolsa Chica channel, and the lowering of the water to a permanent line unnected by the tides. This one single would seem to speak volumes for enlightenment of our friend Cole of Leffingwell fist, who claims his land been "ruined" by the flood waters the tide, and who therefore desires sell out for the sum of $8000. His net consists of 40 acres, for which he had a year ago the sum of $4500. Two years ago, before the boom in celery, the land was held at $1200. Acts are not wanting to show that he bought the land on a "speculation," and his attitude toward the gun club is possessed of the earmarks of a hold-up." The former owner of the land now lives near this city, where he has a tract of land for which he paid $1000. He states that he would not hide his present holding for his former property at Bolsa Chica on even terms. The Cole place was formerly considered as flooded land, for the first part, and the "jumping up" of the price to six or seven times its legitimate value has a queer appearance, say the least. The gun club had in view the excould not stand it. A farmer living near Westminster stepped up and accused the man of lying, yet the effect of the fellow's tirade was to call forth words of condemnation for the members of the gun club. It is earnestly to be hoped that the differences existing between Cole, Hazard and Larter on the one side and the Bolsa Chica Land company on the other may be adjusted as speedily as possible, although it looks at present as though a tedious and long-drawn-out legal battle will be the result; and the worst thing about it is that Cole, Hazard and Larter have been sharp enough to entrap the Board of Supervisors into agreeing to pay for prosecuting the case. A precious state of things, certainly! But had the Supervisors a set of back-bones made of the usual material, the fol-de-rol of Cole, Hazard and Larter would have been given a speedy quietus, and the work of improvement at Bolsa Chica be continued. WATER AND FORESTS. An Association Will Be Formed in Orange County, With Headquarters in Anaheim. The formation of a Water and Forest association is now under discussion by the progressive citizens of the county. The initial steps are being taken by a number of gentlemen of this city, and if the association is formed, the work of reforestation will immediately begin. The platform of the recent convention adopting rules for the organization of such associations is appended, at the request of a number of prospective members of the society: Whereas, The work of reclaiming the extensive arid public and private domain of the State of California is one of great magnitude, requiring eventually the expenditure of millions of money and the work of very many LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST. Compressed Air. The City Trustees had a special meeting on Friday evening for the purpose of hearing a report from the committee which went to Whittier on Thursday to investigate the working of the air compressors in use at that point for raising water. All the members were present. Arthur Lewis, city electrician, who accompanied the party, reported on the committee's inspection, first, of the air compressor at the Leffingwell ranch, some miles this side of Whittier; and, second, of the one in use at the municipal waterworks at Whittier. A technical description of the compressors was given, when the board discussed the matter at some length, being of the opinion that a similar apparatus be installed at the waterworks here. The city has six wells, three of which have not been in use for three years past, owing to the sand taken up by the pumps. By the use of air compressors each of these six wells could be put to good service. However it is not considered probable that the city will be put to the expense of purchasing a compressor for each well and probably only three wells will be kept in use. The air compressors would lift the water into the pump pit, whence it could be lifted to the tanks, and the pump pit, which holds some 56,000 gallons, could be used as an addition to the city's storage capacity, which is even now pressing for attention. The board voted, on motion of Dickel, seconded by Helmsen, to appoint a committee of one to consult W. J. Fay upon the matter of compressed air. Mr. Dickel was appointed such committee. Off for Europe. Frank Ey and We leave Santa Ana March 31st for Germany, to remain for The gun club had in view the expenditure of a quarter of a million dollars upon its property at Bolsa Chica, but it suit, instituted against it by the Hazard and Supervisor Larter, have set up the claim that the dam across the channel is a public nuisance," as it interferes with the "navigability" of the stream, and if continued for two years will cause the death by malaria one-half the population between Westminster and Santa Ana." (to quote Hazard's words) will exert a tenency to stop all further work for the one being. The club has already expended $550 in improving its property. This money has gone, for the most part, to labor. A force of as high as 40 men was employed for months during the winter part of last year, and had this polish suit not been brought this force new workers would probably have been kept constantly at work during the present year and the next. Building operations have been suspended, and an outcome of the suit will be awaited before operations on new work are permitted to begin. The Bolsa drainage ditch has been carrying off thousands of inches of water, which is drained from the Peatlands into the ocean. Many people have said, when viewing this precious stream running to waste into the ocean, that if it could be transferred half dozen miles or so northward to the Garden Grove country, it would be worth millions of dollars. That this stream of water should be wasted when the Bolsa Chica land company prepared to put it to good use, thereby reclaiming tens of thousands of practically valueless land, is indeed a great pity. In truth, the newly-organized project to form another drainage district, with a view to having its outlet in the center of the stock across the channel (which some of the settlers are said to have in contemplation with a view to harass the land company and gun club) is already meeting with opposition from settlers on the upland, who maintain that this contemplated drain of water into the ocean will exert a perceptible effect upon the lowering of the surface water throughout the entire countryside for a dozen miles around. The fact is that the surface water is lower today than at any time in the history of the county. The drouth has of course an appreciable effect upon this water, but there are not lacking those who affirm that this constant drain of the water from the Peatlands is notwithin affect upon the lessening of the association is now under discussion by the progressive citizens of the county. The initial steps are being taken by a number of gentlemen of this city, and if the association is formed, the work of reforestation will immediately begin. The platform of the recent convention adopting rules for the organization of such associations is appended, at the request of a number of prospective members of the society: Whereas, The work of reclaiming the extensive arid public and private domain of the State of California is one of great magnitude, requiring eventually the expenditure of millions of money and the work of very many years of time; and Whereas, There is great need of an extensive preliminary public educational work among the people of the State in laying solid the foundation of this great State development, in order that we may be able to command the united and intelligent co-operation of all the people; and Whereas, The conservation and economical distribution of the waters of the State is essential to human habitation of the arid districts, to reasonable prosperity of the semi-arid districts, and to the full development of the humid districts, including the conservation of forests. To the attainment of this end, this convention proposes the establishment of a permanent society whose membership shall come from all parts of the State, which may include a subordinate or by amalgamation all existing societies organized for these purposes, and which shall be endowed by membership fees and the contribution of citizens and public bodies, with a revenue ample for its purposes. The objects of such association shall be as follows: We favor the preservation and development of our national resources by the construction of storage reservoirs by the federal government for flood protection, and to save for us in aid of navigation and irrigation the floodwaters which now run to waste and cause overflow and destruction. We favor the construction by the federal government of storage reservoirs and irrigation works whenever necessary to furnish water for the reclamation and actual settlement of the arid public lands. We favor the leasing of the public grazing lands at a nominal rental in limited areas to settlers farming adjacent lands, the revenue from rentals to go to the States and Territories where in the lands are situated for irrigation development; leases to be subject to right of reclamation by irrigation and settlement of land actually cultivated; title of land to remain in federal government until actual settlement: the leasing of said lands to be under the control of State where situated, and the revenue arising therefrom to be expended by the States under the direction of their State Engineering Bureaus; provided, that in any State having no Engineering Bureau the federal government may lease the lands and expend the revenue in the construction of irrigation works in that State. We urge upon the Congress of the United States the importance of carrying into full effect the legislation enacted with a view to securing by the national government for the preservation and reforestation of the forest lands of our country, and resulting conservation of our timber and water supplies, and systematic utilization of our lumbering resources. The air compressors would lift the water into the pump pit, whence it could be lifted to the tanks, and the pump pit, which holds some 56,000 gallons, could be used as an addition to the city's storage capacity, which is even now pressing for attention. The board voted, on motion of Dickel, seconded by Helmsen, to appoint a committee of one to consult W. J. Fay upon the matter of compressed air. Mr. Dickel was appointed such committee. Off for Europe. Frank Ey and he leave Santa Ana March 31st for Germany, to remain for an indefinite stay. It is 30 years since Frank set out from the Fatherland to seek his fortune in the New World, and he returns to the scenes of his youth after a successful business career in this section. His mother still lives at the old homestead on the Rhine, and this will be his objective point, although he will visit the Paris Exposition and other places of interest on the continent. Mrs. Ey has been in poor health ever since she shipwreck a number of years ago, in which she narrowly escaped with her life. Her physicians have advised a change of scene and climate, and this is one of the immediate reasons for the trip. Mr. and Mrs. Ey sail from New York April 10th on the North German Lloyd steamer "Kaiser der Grosse," and expect to reach the other side by 17th. The Durkee Sale. The sale of the dairy stock on the Durkee ranch on Tuesday of last week realized $4706. The stock sold consisted of 226 cows, heifers and bulls and 29 calves. The hogs brought 5 cents per pound, to be weighed later and the sum added to the foregoing amount. Had sufficient winter rains fallen, the stock would have sold for $1500 more. There was a large crowd present, but the bidding was confined to stockmen from Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Sent to Highlands. Miss Anna Hein of West Anaheim was adjudged insane last week and ordered committed to the Highlands asylum. Lola M. Williams, wife of D. D. Williams of Bolsa Chica, was committed to Highlands the same day by Judge Ballard. The woman is violently insane. Queensland Fruit Fly. George Compere, who is in Australia for the State Board of Horticulture, writes to Alexander Crawh, horticultural officer, tothe effect that deciduous fruit culture in Queensland is a thing of the past on account of their ravages to peaches, prunes, plums, apricots and other fruits by the Queensland fruit fly, Tephritis tyrion. There is no escape for orchards there. The files are in such enormous numbers that such parasites as may exist cannot possibly cope with them. Mr. Compere has discovered a parasite in Australia forthe black scale. Durkee Will Remain. D. Durkee will still be the Duke of Rincon, and will again manufacture Durkee's famous creamery butter.
