ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1900. MAKING THE FILIPINOS RUN. Billy Renner Engages in Several Skirmishes With the Insurgents—Americans Carrying Everything Before Them. Billy Renner has written a letter home from the Philippines, after a silence of three months, during which time his family feared some ill had befallen him. Billy has had a couple of scraps with the Filipinos, whom the boys clear out whenever they come upon them, and is in excellent health. Extracts from his letter are as follows: CAPIZ, P. I., Jan. 2, 1900. Dear Folks at Home:—I expect you are waiting for a letter, and as I have time now will write you a long one. I received all the letters and papers you sent, and today received that Christmas box. Everything in it was fine; even the apples were all right and made my heart rejoice. I thank you all very much. The cakes, lebkuchen, cookies and jelly just hit the right spot and tasted just the same as they did every Christmas at home. The little presents were just the things I needed. I was on the “hike,” so I couldn’t wish you a Merry Christmas, but I hope you did have one and a Happy New Year, too. I will now try to tell you something about our trip. We started from Iloilo on the 9th of November, at 6 o’clock in the evening; it was dark and raining hard. The column consisted of one battalion of the 18th, one of the 26th and two of the 19th, commanded by Gen. Hughes. We marched through Molo on to Oton, a distance of ten miles. We arrived there at 10 o’clock, tired and thoroughly wet, and found quarters in the church and in large houses. There were twenty-three scouts handbook with the column. When the world over us. We stayed at Passi and the next day buried the dead with all military honors. While going on to Domuro the insurgents again fired on us, but we soon put them to flight, killing five of them. We are now at Capiz, which is nearly as large as Ilollo, but is very dull, as nothing has been allowed to land here for some time. Two companies of the 18th and the regiment band came by boat and have joined us. While we were at Pototan three men of our company went out after cocoa nuts and never came back. It was reported that they were cut up by the natives. They were fine men, too. Hoping this will find you all well and happy like myself, I will close with love to all. WM. RENNER, Company I, Eighteenth Infantry, Capiz, Panay Island. IRRIGATION IN SIBERIA. Unique Storage Reservoirs, But They Will Not Hold Water. [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] The agricultural possibilities of Siberia are vast and but indifferently understood. The banishment of Russian political prisoners to severe and rigorous stations has created the impression that Siberia is frigid and incapable of agricultural development. There are in the Czar’s Asiatic dominion millions of acres of fertile lands splendidly adapted to the growth of grasses, and large areas are now being farmed. Siberia, however, is a vast country, and in many sections which have shown some agricultural development the winters are long and cold while the summers on the other hand are very warm and dry. Many of the small streams which are used for irrigation, dry up during this season, the agriculture suffers THE CLIMATE OF CALIFORNIA Wide Range of Temperature, from Wintry Weather of the Mountainous Districts to the Heat of the Desert Valley. In climatic conditions affecting horticulture we have in California almost an epitome of the whole United States with added climatic characters peculiarly our own. We have high mountain valleys with wintry temperatures, where only hardy north-fruits can be grown; we have hot valleys where the date palm confident lifts its head to the fiery sunshine while its feet are deeply planted in moist substrata beneath the sandy face; but we cannot claim tropical conditions, because our dry air denies many strictly tropical growths, though we have frostless sites for the Intermediate between the cold snow of the mountains and the heat sand of the desert, we have every scribable modification and gradation and naturally it is between these tremens that our richest inheritance horticultural adaptation lies. It is infinite variety which gives us title to the term semi-tropical. When this breadth and scope of horticultural adaptations is realized becomes apparent than an enumeration of the fruits we can grow successfully would be, in fact, a catalogue of known fruits of the world, excluding those which are strictly tropically located there is a northern or southern departure from the equator sufficient to bring energy to mankind where the same is accomplished by vation upon tropical mountain-sided plateau; there also are fruits which a welcoming home in California are improved by the intelligent variation and selection which here When this breadth and scope of horticultural adaptations is realized becomes apparent than an enumption of the fruits we can grow successfully would be, in fact, a catalog of the known fruits of the world, those which are strictly tropic. Wherever there is a northern or soern departure from the equator, it sufficient to bring energy to mankind where the same is accomplished by vation upon tropical mountain-slideau, there also are fruits which a welcoming home in California are improved by the intelligent vation and selection which here vail. On the other hand, it has abundantly demonstrated, during cent years, by official awards at exhibitions and by the sharp critics of the markets as well, that the fruit wintry regions are quite as much fitted by transfer to proper location California as are the people who to grow them. From north and alike, then, California makes greatquisitions, and includes within her adaptations of the whole country with some which no other State seases. But while this horticultural scaled claimed for the State as a whole necessary to add that local adaptation within the State must be very rowly drawn. Our greatest fate have followed ill choice of location the purpose intended. Whenever California fruits have been spoken of, they have been produced the wrong places, or by ill-methods. It is possible, then, toduce both poor and perfect fruit given kind. It may be said that can be done anywhere by the exertion of culture and neglect, but the proposition it must be added to California equally excellent and care will produce perfection place and the opposite in another who seeks to know California must undertake to master both cultural greatness and littleness so closely are these associated; narrow the belts of special adaptions that there are many counties have a range of products nearly as the State itself. It is hard for the stranger to this. It is difficult for him to that the terms "northern" and ern" have almost no horticultural nificance in California; that new fruits reach perfection under conditions, at the south, and vice that some regions of greatest size have to irrigate most frequent some of greatest heat have valley frosts; that some fruits successfully grown through and south distance of 500 mile cannot be successfully carried hundred feet of either less or elevation; that on the same pari latitude within a hundred mile, from coast to mountain-can continuously gather ma Bartlett pears for three months mention the second crop, which of account on the same tree same season.

On November 21st the remaining two battalions of the 18th infantry started from Jaro, under Col. Carpenter, with two 2-inch guns of the 6th artillery. They had a hard fight and lost 8 killed and 27 wounded. We reached Lambauro on the 26th, where we found a powder mill and a couple of old-time muzzle-loading cannon, which we destroyed. We get 24 hard tack and a piece of bacon every two days, and it is a sight to see several hundred of us cooking our meals. Every one builds a fire, takes out his mess kit and slices off some bacon and fries it; then we fry our hard tack in the grease, and our meal is done. When we have time the cooks make coffee for us. While going over the mountains to Passi we struck the niggers and had our first real scrap. We were marching along in columns of four on a good road through a valley; everything was nice and quiet, when suddenly they opened fire on us. Company K was in front of us, and one of their men dropped dead, shot through the head. Major Warwick gave orders and deployed skirmishers on left and right. My company and Company K took the center, with four companies of the 19th on the extreme right, and then we gave them h——. We fought hard for about half an hour, when the two guns came up and put them on the run, giving them farewell shots as they went over the mountains. Major Warwick was shot over the heart by a sharpshooter while giving orders, and died soon afterward. One of the boys of the 19th was shot through the leg, and bullets were flying thick and close for a while. The enemy had all the advantage in them get, killing and wounding many; we had only four men wounded. We had marched a distance of 16 miles, and every one was tired out and glad to rest; but after a few minutes' rest we had to go back a mile to fix the roads for the wagon train. We waited for the company wagon to come up, and then we had coffee. We worked on a bridge till 12 o'clock that night, and finally had to rest on the grass in the open, with nothing to lie on or to throw over us to keep off the rain. We have to build roads and bridges as we go. There are many winding streams, and we have crossed the same river as many as five times a day. We often get soaked through, which is particularly hard on our feet. On November 21st the remaining two battalions of the 18th infantry started from Jaro, under Col.

This stream which flows out of the San Bernardino mountains is now used to transmit power to Los Angeles some eighty-two miles distant. Nine thousand horse-power is consumed in propelling machinery, moving street cars, and in heating and illuminating the buildings in Los Angeles, besides furnishing power for several near-by villages. After being used to generate power, the mountain stream is gathered into a conduit and led further down to irrigate the hundreds of orchards and groves in the San Bernardino valley.

A range of Temperature, from the Dry Weather of the Mountainous Districts to the Heat of the Desert Valley. Dramatic conditions affecting horizons we have in California almost home of the whole United States, filled climatic characters peculiar own. We have high mount-altes with wintry temperature bumps, where only hardy northern can be grown; we have hot valleys the date palm confidently heads to the fiery sunshine, its feet are deeply planted in substrata beneath the sandy surface that cannot claim tropical conducers because our dry air denies us distinctly tropical growths, allowing we have frostless sites for them. Mediate between the cold and the mountains and the heat and of the desert, we have every delicate modification and gradation, naturally it is between these extremes that our richest inheritance of cultural adaptation lies. It is this variety which gives us true to the term semi-tropical. On this breadth and scope of our cultural adaptations is realized, it appears apparent than an enumeration of the fruits we can grow successively would be, in fact, a catalogue of known fruits of the world, except which are strictly tropical. Never there is a northern or south-aparture from the equator sufficient to bring energy to mankind, or the same is accomplished by elephants upon tropical mountain-side or bushes, there also are fruits which find incoming home in California, and improved by the intelligent cultivation and selection which here prevailed. For 300 days in the year the air currents from this vast body of warm, placid waters flow over California, moderating summer heat and winter cold; and, impinging on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, give to the foothills, up to a certain elevation, a valley climate and a valley range of products. Second—Another agency contributing to the mild climate of the Pacific Coast consists in the mountain barriers upon our northern and eastern boundaries. Redding says it was Guyot who first called attention to the fact that the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade mountains reach the coast of Alaska and bend like a great arm around its western and southern shores, thus shutting off or deflecting the polar winds that otherwise would flow down over the Pacific Coast States, while California has her own additional protection from the north in the mountain arch which has its keystone in Mount Shasta. The chief characteristics of the coastal climate are equable temperature, increasing southward; summers cool and winters warm, as compared with the interior; frequent fogs or overcast skies; prevailing westerly winds. The extension of coast influences toward the interior is governed by local topography. Coast valleys open to ocean winds are cooler and moister and demand hardier fruits than valleys sheltered by intervening ranges. Gaps and passes in the ranges are subject to winds of considerable force and low temperature, and are not generally favorable for fruit; on the other hand, situations sheltered on the north and west favor growth of fruit even though quite near the coast. Sometimes a distance of a few miles, sometimes a windbreak of natural forest or of planted trees so modifies coast influences that fruits do well. Elevation on the sides LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST. Travelle. Rarely have we attended a more enjoyable entertainment than that given by Travelle at the Opera-house on Thursday evening last. Travelle is a whole show in himself, being an illusionist, magician, juggler and shadowgraphist, in each of which lines he is an artist of a superior order of ability. The program occupied two hours and a half, and applause for each act was spontaneous and long continued. As a juggler and shadowgraphist Travelle is admittedly one of the best on the stage. His work is meritorious throughout, and he seems happiest when performing the most difficult feats. The audience was not as large as it should have been, but should Travelle appear here again (as he says he will next year) he will doubtless be greeted by a crowded house. Mile. Travelle in poses plastique was an object of beauty, her posings being artistic and of very fine effect. Miss La Verne's singing was superior to that of Madame Brehany, it being the best singing we have heard since Mrs. Hinrichs charmed us with her flights of song. Altogether the show was a good one. The people are clever artists, and we hope to see them in Amabeim again, when an audience more in keeping with the excellence of their work may attend the entertainment. Three Bad Boys. Herman and Julius Newman and Arthur Darling were bound over by Justice Shanley on Friday morning in bonds of $500 each to appear before the Superior Court on a charge of larceny. The boys had been in the city jail since the preceding Wednesday, when they were taken in custody for break- In this breadth and scope of our cultural adaptations is realized, it becomes apparent than an enumeration of the fruits we can grow successively would be, in fact, a catalogue of known fruits of the world, except those which are strictly tropical. However there is a northern or south-eastern departure from the equator sufficient to bring energy to mankind, or the same is accomplished by elevating upon tropical mountain-side or river, there also are fruits which find becoming home in California, and improved by the intelligent cultivation and selection which here prevailed. On the other hand, it has been brilliantly demonstrated, during reevers, by official awards at great institutions and by the sharp criteria of markets as well, that the fruits of any regions are quite as much benefited by transfer to proper locations in California as are the people who come to know them. From north and south-west, then, California makes grand actions, and includes within her area adaptations of the whole country, for some which no other State possesses. But while this horticultural scope is limited for the State as a whole, it is necessary to add that local adaptations in the State must be very narrowly drawn. Our greatest failures were followed ill choice of location for purpose intended. Whenever certain California fruits have been ill known of, they have been produced in unwrong places, or by ill-advised methods. It is possible, then, to produce both poor and perfect fruit of a kind. It may be said that this type done anywhere by the extremes culture and neglect, but to this proposition it must be added that in California equally excellent methods care will produce perfection in one place and the opposite in another. One seeks to know California well that undertake to master both its horticultural greatness and littleness; and closely are these associated, and so grow the belts of special adaptations, that there are many counties which have a range of products nearly as great the State itself. It is hard for the stranger to realize this. It is difficult for him to believe that the terms "northern" and "south" have almost no horticultural significance in California; that northern fruits reach perfection, under proper conditions, at the south, and vice versa; that some regions of greatest rainfall have to irrigate most frequently; that some of greatest heat have sharper valley frosts; that some fruits can be successfully grown through a north and south distance of 500 miles, but cannot be successfully carried a few hundred feet of either less or greater elevation; that on the same parallel ofitude within a hundred miles of distance, from coast to mountain-side, one can continuously gather marketable tartlett pears for three months—not to mention the second crop, which is often accounted on the same trees in the same season. Through the multitude of local observations, which seem perplexing and contradictory, it is possible to ward the interior is governed by local topography. Coast valleys open to ocean winds are cooler and moister and demand harder fruits than valleys sheltered by intervening ranges. Gaps and passes in the ranges are subject to winds of considerable force and low temperature, and are not generally favorable for fruit; on the other hand, situations sheltered on the north and west favor growth of fruit even though quite near the coast. Sometimes a distance of a few miles, sometimes a windbreak of natural forest or of planted trees so modifies coast influences that fruits do well. Elevation on the sides of coast valleys secures similar results. For example, the floor of the Pajaro valley is well suited for apples, late pears, cherries, plums, prunes and berries (except gooseberries), while on adjacent hillsides peaches do well. In Southern California coast winds are warmer than in the upper half of the State, but coast influences intrude farther, as a rule, because the hills near the coast in Southern California are low; the high ranges, answering to the Coast range of the upper part of the State, trending far into the interior. On the coast side of these ranges fruits ripen later than in sheltered interior points in the upper part of the State; but eastward of them, where soil and moisture favor, or irrigation is practiced, extra early locations have been found. Some of the horticultural effects of the conditions prevailing on the coast may be described as follows: The late ripening of fruits in most parts of Southern California has just been mentioned. Intrusion of coast influences has the same effect at the north. Directly on the coast, at Pescadero, San Mateo county, for example, fruits ripen about a month later than in Santa Clara valley, which is just across the Coast range. Napa valley, though about forty miles inland and sheltered by ranges of hills, still is sufficiently affected by coast influences to mature fruits considerably later than Vaca valley, ten miles farther east, beyond a higher range, which completely bars out these influences. In Ventura county, in a canyon sixteen miles from the ocean, and at an elevation of 1600 feet, fruits ripen three weeks earlier than on the coast or in the valleys opening thereon. Though killing frosts are few directly on the coast, the deficiency in summer heat and sunshine renders some fruits unsatisfactory. This is especially the case in the upper-coast region. Grapes and figs ripen imperfectly, while but a short distance back from the coast, in sheltered situations, they do well. Elevation sometimes produces corresponding effects. The complete reversal of coastal conditions by local topography is seen in the Happy Camp region, on the west side of Siskiyou county, and east of the range which is the eastern boundary of Del Norte county, the extreme north coast county of the State. Happy Camp is in a warm belt, at an elevation where peaches, apricots and nectarines do well if irrigated. The apricot at that altitude in ordinary situations is a failure, as it also is for a certain distance farther south along Altogether the show was a good one. The people are clever artists, and we hope to see them in Amheim again, when an audience more in keeping with the excellence of their work may attend the entertainment. Three Bad Boys. Herman and Julius Newman and Arthur Darling were bound over by Justice Shanley on Friday morning in bonds of $500 each to appear before the Superior Court on a charge of larceny. The boys had been in the city jail since the preceding Wednesday, when they were taken in custody for breaking into the Southern Pacific warehouse at West Anaheim and taking therefrom a package of plug tobacco valued at $10.50. Detective Bowler came down from Los Angeles on Wednesday and after a short investigation made charges against the boys. They admitted theft of the tobacco. On Friday District Attorney Williams came over and conducted the preliminary examination. The boys were held to appear before the higher court, and in the afternoon Constable Kuebler escorted them to the county jail. Runaway and Smashup. Father Dubbel returned in his buggy from Yorba on Thursday evening about 6 o'clock, and alighted in front of the postoffice for his mail. While getting into the buggy a moment later, his horse became unmanageable, and making a sharp turn, tipped over the buggy. The reverend gentleman was thrown out of the vehicle. It was dragged some distance before the horse could be stopped and was demolished. Father Dubbel escaped unburt and soon succeeded in subduing the frightened animal, which was later taken to the stable. The demolished buggy was run onto a vacant lot over night, and the next day was taken to a blacksmith shop for repairs. Now. How About This? From the Riverside Enterprise. Anaheim has a horticultural club which meets and discusses things. According to the GAZETTE, a startling-if-true fact was brought out at its last meeting. In the words of that paper: "Riverside county, it was pointed out; employed sixteen (horticultural) commissioners, and many of these had an assistant. Orange county has three, and it seems the Supervisors are dominated by the idea, first that the law under which the commission operates is a bad one; and second, that therefore their labors ought to be circumscripted to the smallest possible area." This will come as a surprise to the people of this county. The Enterprise has known of three horticultural commissioners, and has frequently remarked upon the efficiency of their work; but now it would seem that somewhere in the sagebrush hereabout there are thirteen others concealed. "And many of them have an assistant." Certainly we have the most public-spirited lot of officials in the State; thirty-two commissioners and assistants, and only three allowing their identity to be known or presenting bills for services! It is to be feared that the Orange Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh.
