The price of stock in the Anaheim water company has gone skyrocketing from $28.50 per share to $50, with none, or next to none, offered at that figure. Three years ago, with several hundred shares of treasury stock lying idle in the company's office, the price of shares ranged as low as $7. The number of shares of treasury stock has gradually dwindled until the expanding business of the company absorbed every share, when the price of stock immediately rose nearly 100 per cent. This rise comes as a direct result of a realization of the actual value of the stock. So long as there were hundreds of shares of treasury stock awaiting a purchaser, the price of individual holdings ranged low, and we doubt not sales were made at a figure lower than the lowest here quoted. Stockholders have come to realize that the company owns one of the richest water rights, as it embraces also the most valuable irrigating system, in the State. The credit for the development of this idea is due in large part to the Directorate in control during the past three years. An abler set of officials never watched over the destinies of any corporation. One cannot but smile, in contemplating one feature of the rise, at the predicament of some of our friends, the so-called Reformers, who disposed of portions of their stock, not so many months ago, for the reasons: first, that by so doing they would avoid what they termed the inevitable assessments to follow in the wake of the extensive improvements undertaken by the company; and, second, because of the possibility of the irrigation of their land as well with a smaller holding of stock, acquaintances here, where his school days were passed. He was the brightest of pupils, and his friendships out of the schoolroom were as warm and sincere as admiration for his talents was unanimous and enthusiastic within. The family departed for the City of Mexico in 1875. There Mariano rose to an eminence in learning, and was at the time of his death professor of languages in several of the institutions of learning in the Mexican capital. He leaves a widow and several children to mourn his untimely end. Here in Anaheim news of his death will be received with regret by his many old-time associates, no less than by relatives; his mother being the sister of Mrs. Theo. Rimpau. His brother Manuel, who also passed some of his school days here and was afterward a valued attache of the GAZETTE office, went with the family to Mexico and joined the army. He rose to be the colonel of a regiment, we believe, and in the Yaqui war some years ago fell on the field of battle while leading his troops against the treacherous savages. Two more noble young men never lived. Peace to their ashes. Mrs. Garfias was at San Diego at the time of her son's death, and was unable to reach the City of Mexico in time to attend the obsequies. The city election seems to be coming on quietly, and there is nothing to disturb the even tenor of the way save the violent and atrociously vindictive attacks of our contemporary upon Marshal Steadman. Mr. Steadman has resided here upward of a dozen years, and his character can hardly be smutted by the Plain Dealer gang. That Steadman will be re-elected to the office he has so acceptably filled was never in any great doubt, and these indecent assaults upon him ought to result in giving him a majority of 100. No man was ever defeated for office by casting filth at him—usually that course has the contrary effect. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. For the Week Ending March 26, 1900.

Lam Edwardson and Annie Edward One cannot but smile, in contemplating one feature of the rise, at the predicament of some of our friends, the so-called Reformers, who disposed of portions of their stock, not so many months ago, for the reasons: first, that by so doing they would avoid what they termed the inevitable assessments to follow in the wake of the extensive improvements undertaken by the company; and, second, because of the possibility of the irrigation of their land as well with a smaller holding of stock, on account of the cementing of ditches and other permanent betterments of the system, than it had been possible to irrigate it before. They disposed of their stock at not to exceed $12 or $15, and cannot now buy it for $50. Of course, we hope the clean-up has not left them short of stock, but the celerity with which one or two of them "unloaded," to escape the assessments which never came, is laughable, even if it does not argue in support of their fore-sight on one side, nor their fairness or integrity on the other. The credit of the company was never better—indeed, there is not a corporation in Southern California whose paper is more sought after among money lenders than that of the Anaheim water company, and this rise in the price of its stock will go far toward placing it in a better light abroad. The acquisition of the Durkee water rights will inevitably result in bringing to us a greater volume of water than we have heretofore used. The temporary diversion by Fuller has not affected our supply—indeed, there is more water in the river than we can at present take care of. This diversion will be put an end to long before the volume of water lessens to a quantity below the capacity of our intake in the river to receive. During the three years of drought, the Anaheim water company has been put to very little expense to maintain its rights to the water in the river. Mr. Van Dyke, the eminent authority on hydraulics and irrigation, has publicly said that our water right is the best in Southern California—that it is absolutely unassailable. Very little trouble has been given, even though we are now in our third successive dry year. Mr. Fuller will be disposed of with due dispatch—never fear about that. Already the advance in the price of water stock has directed the attention hitherward of financiers from different parts of the State; for such an increase in such a large volume of stock (there are 8000 shares) cannot but challenge their attention. Within three years the value of the stock has advanced upward of $40 per share. Here is an increase dictative attacks of our contemporary upon Marshal Steadman.

SECRETARY WILSON of the Department of Agriculture has received a communication from Secretary Hitchcock of the Department of the Interior, asking his aid in solving the problem of grazing in the Western forest reserves. The division of forestry will commence immediately an investigation which will last several months. The controversy over the alleged evil effects of sheep grazing has involved Western cattlemen, wool growers and farmers in a bitter war for many years, and the recent increase of irrigation has added to the bitterness. Government action in the matter has been hastened by the establishment of forest reserves. In view of the injury to the forests in many sections from overgrazing, all reserves except those in Washington and Oregon, and the Black Mesa reserve in Arizona, which is to be opened to 300,000 sheep at 3 cents a head, are closed to sheep by an order issued last May. This step has raised a storm of protest from wool growers, who insist that no harm is done by grazing under proper restrictions. Many are reported to have driven their herds into the mountains last summer in defiance of the law. Against the sheep owners are arrayed the cattlemen and farmers, and especially the irrigators, who claim the practice means disaster to agriculture in the lowlands. These argue that sheep destroy the forest cover in the mountains and thus diminish the water supply. The sheep are said not only to eat the young growth which is to perpetuate the forest but to trump down innumerable seedlings and destroy the S. H.

Mr. Fuller will be disposed of with due dispatch—never fear about that. Already the advance in the price of water stock has directed the attention hitherward of financiers from different parts of the State; for such an increase in such a large volume of stock (there are 8000 shares) cannot but challenge their attention. Within three years the value of the stock has advanced upward of $40 per share. Here is an increase amounting to $320,000 in three years of successive drought. What has caused this? Simply the awakening of the shareholders, as we say, to the fact that they own stock in one of the best water rights and irrigating systems in the State. Last year water which cost at Redlands $600 for 100 inches during 24 hours was in Anaheim sold at $15. The Redlands grower purchased water at this ruinous rate not to raise a crop but to save his trees. Here the price for irrigating water remained during the entire season at 2½ percent of that prevailing at Redlands. That tells the whole story. Stock in the Anaheim water company will not remain at $50—it will rise above that figure before many seasons come and go. There are yet 4000 shares which may be issued, under the constitution of the company, by an affirmative two-thirds majority of the shareholders—not an easy matter, judging by past experience, to bring about. But when the price of shares becomes too high, probably another issue of stock may be determined upon. But of one thing we may rest assured: stock in the company will take easy rank with that of the most prosperous corporations in the State. News was received by Fred Rimpau on Tuesday of the death at the City of Mexico, on March 22d, of Senor Don Mariano J. Garfias, in the forty-fifth year of his age. Senor Garfias, or, as his old-time friends in Anaheim familiarly called him, Mariano, is well remembered by a host of have driven their herds into the mountains last summer in defiance of the law. Against the sheep owners are arrayed the cattlemen and farmers, and especially the irrigators, who claim the practice means disaster to agriculture in the lowlands. These argue that sheep destroy the forest cover in the mountains and thus diminish the water supply. The sheep are said not only to eat the young growth which is to perpetuate the forest but to tramp down innumerable seedlings and destroy the layer of leaves necessary to keep the soil in good condition. Sheep herders are accused of burning large areas in order to secure a growth of grass. While the government will decide the matter only in the cases of the forest reserves, these include a large part of all the summer ranges of the Western sheep-raising States, and the results will be of great importance to the American wool-growing industry. As no general rule can be applied, each reserve will be studied separately. The first step of the division of forestry will be to collect impartially the testimony of both sides. Lists of questions will be sent to thousands of sheepmen and to their opponents. About July 1st an examination of the reserves will begin. A number of botanists, irrigation experts and similar scientific men will be secured from all parts of the United States, and they will spend several months in the field. In addition, all field parties of the division of forestry engaged in other work in the interested regions will be required to give time to the sheep question also.

WHAT MAKES ORANGES PUFF? The Subject Engrosses the Attention of the Riverside Folks—Does Any One Know What Causes It? At a recent meeting of the Riverside Horticultural club J. E. Cutter read the following paper on Puffy Oranges: I will promise that what I may advance concerning causes and remedies is tentative simply—not to be taken as demonstrated fact, but as fairly well supported theory. Puffing is a development of unequal growth in the tissues—as is also splitting or bursting. But, though standing in close correlation, the two phenomena exhibit reverse action. Splitting always occurs in autumn, near close of season of growth. Puffing comes in spring, at the opening of growth season. Splitting is found in the growth of the outer limbs, where the peel has become indurated by the hot sun. Puffing develops in the shade, on the north side and in the center of the tree, in fruit of soft, flabby and immature character. The orange splits because its sun-hardened peel will not yield to the pressure of the growing carpel within. It puffs because spring directs its first energies to wood growth, and all nitrogenous tissues, including peel, while the making of fruit juices is in abeyance until a later day. The two seasons, fall and spring, then, tend to this inequality of development, and extraneous circumstances further the matter. Among these latter I believe faulty cultivation to be strongly contributory. Wherever cultivation is imperfect, as along drives and roadways, and wherever the ground is subject to flooding with water with alternate baking in the sun, excess of puffing appears. Wilting between irrigation is another cause. Fertilizing has its part in the matter also. Where nitrogen only is provided, the trouble is aggravated. If we conceive of climate, fertility, cultivation—all in perfect balance, nothing to cause unequal growth of the tissues—the shall recognize conditions where there will be no puffing. But this will not be in California. Leaving opinions, let us now come to some facts. First, An orange that will puff will not drop; and an orange that will drop will not puff. No orange puffs unless the sap is flowing into it, and no orange though it had doubtless been more far-reaching. Mr. Reed said that a loss of 10 cents per box on oranges on account of puffing means over $3000 per day at the rate we have been shipping oranges—nearly 100 cars per day. He stated that one grower reported that his oranges fell in grade from 60 per cent fancy to 26 per cent fancy, because of puffing, within less than three weeks. His theories on the matter he said, had been all upset. Use of too much stable manure, standing of waste water about the trees, too much potash, had all been accepted as a cause, but examples which he mentioned showed that these were not reliable. The puffing takes place inside the tree rather than on the outside. Mr. Reed regarded puffing as a disease which should be investigated by an expert. Mr. Koethen said that his experience led him to favor the theory that puffling BUENA PARK. The annual meeting of the W. U. was held at Mrs. A. Lincoln ett's and was very beautifully ctatained.

In most of them the tissues grow too uniformly to puff. Second, There is never to exceed 10 per cent of puffed fruit in any district—usually not half that amount. Some orchards have much more, but a larger number are practically free. Third, In warm seasons puffing begins early and ends early; begins with the starting of growth, and ends when all of the class that are subject to puffing have passed through the stage of early growth. From the foregoing it will be seen that there is no occasion for hastening shipment on account of puffing. Simply pick the puffed fruit instead of the better, without increasing the weekly output. Many years ago, down on the Kennebec, a logging company had in their employ a French-Canadian whose nervous system was so impressionable that he would instantly obey any command that might be suddenly and sharply given. If he were serving at table, a pot of beans or kettle of coffee would go at once to the floor if anyone said "Drop it!" Or when "driving" on the river, if another hand yelled, "Jump, Joel!" he would throw down his pike pole and leap from the log into the ice water. Now, when early in February, the rancher found the annual puffing beginning, his good friend, the packing-house man, shouted, "Jump!" He jumped—straight into the commission pond. With the increase of shipments prices fell, and loss occurred that might have been wholly avoided by rational action. There was no occasion for glutting the markets. The stampede was like that of other panies. It is a pleasure to point that better counsels prevailed in the exchange houses, whose growers are now reaping the advantage of improved market conditions. The Press gives the following report of the discussion which ensued. Mr. Cutter said the worst effect of puffing was the panic which results in dumping fruit on the market and causing a slump in prices. The wisest course to pursue is to market the fruit gradually, as the market demands it. He doubted if there really had been more puffing this year than usual, was due to letting the trees get too dry in summer. Mr. Koehen moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Cutter and Mr. Meacham for their papers which was adopted. Mr. Edmiston said that in his orchard the facts would seem to point to too much irrigation this winter as the cause of puffing. Mr. Boyd said that we used to think the seedling was the only orange that would puff. Now we find that the sweets and even the navels are puffing. His judgment was that nobody knows anything about it. Mr. Hall mentioned a striking example of puffing, apparently due to insufficient irrigation and cultivation. Mr. Cutter and Mr. Meacham questioned Mr. Boyd's statement that puffing was a recent development. Mr. Cutter said he had known navels and sweets to puff for the past eighteen years. About the only point of general agreement was that a warm season probably increased the amount of puffing. A.R. De Fluent, editor of the Journal, Doylestown, Ohio, suffered for a number of years from rheumatism in his right shoulder and side. He says: "My right arm at times was entirely useless. I tried Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and was surprised to receive relief almost immediately. The Pain Balm has been a constant companion of mine ever since and it never fails." For sale by P.A.Derge.

A. HUNTER Secretary. Anaheim, March 24, 1900. Where Everything Grows. The tuberose flourishes amazingly in the open air in the Transvaal with but the smallest attention and cultivation. The bulbs shoot up their three or four foot stems, each bearing very sweet smelling flowers, in an incredibly short space of time. In Pretoria roses are prolific—in fact, most of the streets are bounded by rose hedges throughout their length, and they bloom with a frail, pink monthly rose blossom for three quarters of the year. In public places, such as the Burghers' park, the profusion of roses, lilies, carnations and tuberoses is bewilderingly beautiful. The wild orchids of Swaziland are famous. They are of at least 20 different kinds. They are extremely curious, and with a little care and extra heat they can be induced to develop into very wonderful plants. Everything grows in the Transvaal if the trouble is taken to plant it. The soil being all virgin and naturally rich, the very smallest amount of attention is required. Thrift. "Speaking of thrift," said the prominent clergyman, "I remember one man who was as good an example of shrewdness as I have ever seen. It was when I began preaching that I met him. I was young and struggling, my salary was small, and the man was a member of my church. He used to do work on a scroll saw, and one of his specialties was a sort of plant stand with two shelves and with scroll work ornamentation. Two or three times he tried to sell me one, but as I had no need or use for it I told him so. "The time for the annual donation party drew near, when everything that was given counted toward that limited salary. I was not altogether pleased, therefore, when the man with a plant stand appeared at the door. "'Here, parson,' he said, 'is a plant stand. It's worth $10, and I'd like to give $5 of it toward your donation.'" "There was no way out of it. I gave him the other $5."—New York Sun. Driven to Drink.
