CHINESE IRRIGATION IS CRUDE But the Heathens are Expert Gardeners Nevertheless—Wonderful Geological Formations. [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] The vast Chinese population knows nothing about irrigation systems in the modern sense; the Chinese are ignorant as to centrifugal pumps and artesian wells; and yet with their crude methods they are expert irrigators and get all there is out of lands kept fertile by the constant use of water. The Grand Canal between the Yangtze-Kiang and the old bed of the Yellow river in China carries a vast volume of water which is used largely for irrigation, the Chinamen laying off their little farms in plats and terraces, raising long-grained rice and curious Chinese vegetables, and utilizing every inch of space. In some of the provinces of the great celestial empire where the rivers are subject to spring floods, to protect themselves from inundation, the natives have thrown up embankments or levees on both sides of the rivers, but at distances of 100 or 150 feet from the natural banks. This intervening space is of course flooded every year, and by the action of the water a new layer of rich soil is deposited upon it with the receding of the water. On this space the natives immediately proceed to plant, the flood danger being past for the year, and the moist and enriched ground insuring a heavy yield of the peculiar crops grown by the Chinese farmers. One of the most wonderful features in the physical geography of China is the existence of a vast region of loess in the northern portion of the empire, and constituting an area of 250,000 square miles. Loess is a solid but friable earth, brownish yellow in color, which if the plan of taking the next census is to be followed over the entire country as it is to be followed in this county, then the census office will simply be a big political machine of the most partisan kind, and its chief value, impartial accuracy, will be impaired, because it will be looked upon as politically biased. According to the arrangement made, the superintendant of the census of this district has invited the Republican County Central Committee to nominate census-takers for this city and county. The Republican County Central Committee, of course, lost no time in getting together, and has nominated a number of campaigners who have been tried in the Republican harness and found to pull all right when told to, and these pullers will now be given the census jobs, chiefly, if not solely, because they are pullers. If this policy prevails over the entire country, and it is to be supposed it will so prevail, the census cannot fail to be so colored with partisan politics that its accuracy and honesty will be questioned, and the millions of dollars spent upon it will be wasted.—San Diego Sun. Nonsense! Each applicant for a position as enumerator is required to pass a competitive examination, and the appointment is made, not with reference to his political affiliation, but his competency and his ability to subscribe to the voluminous rules and regulations required of a non-partisan census enumerator. From the circular setting forth “qualifications, duties and compensation of enumerators,” we quote as follows: * * * “One of the duties imposed by the census act is the designation of suitable persons to be employed as enumerators within their respective districts. It is further A VALJEAN LIE NAILED. The Charge that Marshal Steadman collected money from the Presbyterian Church illegally Proved to be False. The flat has gone forth from the gang of Plain Dealer worshippers to N. F. Steadman, the most efficient courageous public official Anabas ever had, must be defeated at the municipal election on Monday next. The attacks of the gang should be centered upon him, is past finding that one or two owners of Plain Dealer have given orders that should be defeated. The reason probably because Steadman has fused to truckle to them, and has sued the even tenor of his way, pay no attention to their shafts of man which have spent their rankling pot in the pale beams of the watery mud as it were, while he has passed on harmed in the estimation of the peril of the community, in which he has left for upwards of a dozen years. Attacks of the Plain Dealer upon have been maliciously vindictive, culminated on Saturday in the publication of the following false, libelous defamatory article concerning him. Does Steadman remember, now tite better than two years ago, of having collected $1.50 from members of Presbyterian church? The member of the church, as we understand it, been caught by the alert (?) and laint (?) Marshal holding a little chatter entertainment, admittance to whirl trifling fee was charged. Somehow other, Steadman got wind of this and damnable conspiracy on the part of Presbyterians to get a corner little bit of the coin of the realm, charged down upon the outfit, dening $1.50 from them as city license lady responded to the demand and the money into the hands of Steadman. A few weeks after the money had paid to the discreet, watchful thrifty Steadman, a search of the assisted by Clerk Nebelung, by a the action of the water a new layer of rich soil is deposited upon it with the receding of the water. On this space the natives immediately proceed to plant, the flood danger being past for the year and the moist and enriched ground insuring a heavy yield of the peculiar crops grown by the Chinese farmers. One of the most wonderful features in the physical geography of China is the existence of a vast region of loess in the northern portion of the empire, constituting an area of 250,000 square miles. Loess is a solid but friable earth, brownish yellow in color, which is found in some sections 1000 feet deep. It has a tendency to vertical cleavage, and wherever a river has cut into it the loess endoses the stream between perpendicular cliffs, in many places 500 feet high. The loess is of great value to the inhabitants of northern China. In the sides of its perpendicular cliffs are dug thousands of caves in which a large majority of the people inhabiting the loess region live. Its surface is very fertile, and under the careful Chinese irrigation yields abundant crops. Upon the application of water it assumes an intensely yellow color, varying from brown to orange, and the deep sides of the little irrigation ditches assume almost the brilliant colors of the sunset. URGE RECLAMATION. The advisability and public necessity for the building of storage reservoirs to save the millions of dollars, now annually going to waste in the form of water, should be impressed upon the attention of Congress by all the influence and argument that can be brought to bear now and constantly, until something is accomplished along this line. No representative should be sent to the House or to the Senate from a Western State who is not pledged to support this measure for boundless Western development. A DANGEROUS PROPOSITION. State cession of government land and arid land reclamation are incompatible. "Give the States the lands that they may reclaim them," says an able advocate of State cession. How reclaim them? By giving half of them away to monopolies to reclaim the other half; the reclaimed half to be then put on sale at exorbitant prices beyond the means of the great majority of actual settlers. ISLAND OF GUAM. Is Scarcely Less Valuable than Hawaii Strategically. The naval authorities have decided that Guam, strategically, is of scarce less value than Hawaii, and have begun the preparation of plans to make it one of the most important naval bases on the Pacific. The projected improvements will involve an expenditure of several millions for a breakwater at Port San Luis d'Apra, a coaling wharf and repair shops and shore batteries for protection against assault. The department has just received complete surveys of the harbor and port of the island, with exhaustive data to pass a competitive examination, and the appointment is made, not with reference to his political affiliation, but his competency and his ability to subscribe to the voluminous rules and regulations required of a non-partisan census enumerator. From the circular setting forth the "qualifications, duties and compensation of enumerators," we quote as follows: * **“One of the duties imposed by the census act is the designation of suitable persons to be employed as enumerators within their respective districts. It is further provided that such persons shall be residents of the enumeration districts for which they may be appointed, and that they shall be selected solely with reference to fitness, and without reference to their political party affiliations. The appointment of enumerators will be made with reference to physical activity and to aptness, neatness and accuracy in writing, and in the use of figures. The census requires active, energetic persons of good address and readiness with the pen. Only such can do the work with satisfaction to the government or profit to themselves.” We do not know what conditions prevail in San Diego county, but it is a well-known fact that it is the government's desire to have the census taken, not only in an absolutely fair, truthful and impartial manner, but with the greatest degree of patch and competency as well, altogether free from all political prediction. The Sun seems disposed to be censorous and hypercritical. Peanuts. The Oklahoma Experiment Station issues the following instructions for growing peanuts: Hard soils are not suited to profitable peanut culture. Sandy soils that are sufficiently moist, and loose loams are preferable. The soil should be prepared as for corn or cotton, and free from clods, roots, corn stubble and other rubbish. The seed should be bullied before planting. About two bushels of nuts in the pod are required for an acre, and in seeding the skin of the kernel should not be broken and all imperfect kernels should be rejected. The time of planting must be determined by the character of the season, and should be delayed until all danger from frost is past. The planting may be either in drills or check rows. Three feet between the rows and two seeds every 12 to 16 inches is perhaps the average. A sufficient amount of cultivation must be given to keep the soil free from weeds, but more is unnecessary. Both level and ridge cultivation is practiced, though it is questionable if ridging is necessary. Higher yields are usually obtained from level cultivation, especially in dry seasons. A special plow arranged to cut the taproot of the vine and loosen the soil is necessary. The vines with the peanuts attached are then forked into windows. If the weather is dry there is no need of stacking the vines, but if it rains the quality of the crop will be injured. In two to three weeks the pods are ready to be picked or threshed. Hand picking was formerly practiced. There is absolutely not one truth in all this mass of rot. Steadman has not collected penny from the Presbyterian Christian Endeavor, the Aid Society, or other kindred organization of the church, since JU894—now nearly six years ago. On April 22, 1892, the Christ deaverors gave an entertainment Del Campo hotel, at which an amusement fee was charged. Acting instructions from the Trustee man collected a license of $3 from accordance with the ordinance viding therefor. On April 27th of the same ye Kiefer appeared before the Creees asking that this amount funded him. The minutes of the Clerk's office concerning her are to the following effect: April 27, 1892. Communication from S.E., asking for a retate of license tertainment given at HI Campo on April 22nd, and paying for board in regard to sainting that said entertainment come under the ordinance... The naval authorities have decided that Guam, strategically, is of scarcely less value than Hawaii, and have begun the preparation of plans to make it one of the most important naval bases on the Pacific. The projected improvements will involve an expenditure of several millions for a breakwater at Port San Luis d’Apra, a coaling wharf and repair shops and shore batteries for protection against assault. The department has just received complete surveys of the harbor and port of the island, with exhaustive soundings of the harbor, and is making an accurate chart to be used in laying the public works. The project will be perfected by a board to sit at Washington, and an advisory board may be convened at Guam to furnish additional information. Admirals Remey and Kempff will also visit Guam and make reports before work of construction begins. It is proposed to erect on one side of the harbor of Port San Luis d’Apra a coal shed of 20,000 tons capacity and a wharf, with automatic loading machinery, duplicating the plant now being completed at Dry Tortugas. The immediate necessity for this is shown by the fact that all naval vessels bound across the Pacific are compelled to call for coal at Guam, none of them being able to make Manila or Hongkong after leaving Honolulu with full bunkers, except through the exercise of extreme economy and the maintenance of their lowest speed. The army transport service has found that a whole day can be saved on the voyage to Manila by running faster and recoaling at Guam, and these ships will stop there regularly as soon as rapid-coaling facilities are provided by the navy. Nasal Catarrh quickly yields to treatment by Ely’s Cream Balm, which is agreeably aromatic. It is received through the nostrils, cleanses and heals the whole surface over which it diffuses itself. Druggists sell the 50c. size; Trial size by mail, 10 cents. Test it and you are sure to continue the treatment. Announcement. To accommodate those who are partial to the use of atomizers in applying liquids into the nasal passages for catarrhal troubles, the proprietors prepare Cream Balm in liquid form, which will be known as Ely’s Liquid Cream Balm. Price including the spraying tube is 75 cents. Druggists or by mail. The liquid form embodies the medicinal properties of the solid preparation. A sufficient amount of cultivation must be given to keep the soil free from weeds, but more is unnecessary. Both level and ridge cultivation is practiced, though it is questionable if ridging is necessary. Higher yields are usually obtained from level cultivation, especially in dry seasons. A special plow arranged to cut the taproot of the vine and loosen the soil is necessary. The vines with the peanuts attached are then forked into windrows. If the weather is dry there is no need of stacking the vines, but if it rains the quality of the crop will be injured. In two to three weeks the pods are ready to be picked or threshed. Hand picking was formerly practiced, but it is slow and tedious. Peanut threshing machines run by horse or steam power are more economical, and unless the use of such a machine can be obtained, it would not be profitable to grow the crop. The vines have a high feeding value, approximately equal to that of alfalfa or cow-pea hay. Peanuts form a very nutritious diet for hogs. If planted for hog pasture, it should be in an inclosed space, so that the hogs may harvest the crop after the pods have matured. The peanut belongs to the same class of plants as clover, alfalfa and cow peas, and does not, if properly handled, draw heavily upon the fertility of the soil.

Large that Marshal Steadman Collected Money from the Presbyterian Church Illegally Proved to be False. That has gone forth from the little Plain Dealer worshippers that Steadman, the most efficient and frequent public official Anaheim had, must be defeated at the municipal election on Monday next. Why attacks of the gang should be used upon him, is past finding out, that one or two owners of the Dealer have given orders that he may be defeated. The reason is likely because Steadman has relied too truckle to them, and has purpose even tenor of his way, paying attention to their shafts of malice, have spent their ranking points pale beams of the watery moon, here, while he has passed on unpaid in the estimation of the people community, in which he has lived towards of a dozen years. The loss of the Plain Dealer upon him been maliciously vindictive, and animated on Saturday in the publication of the following false, libelous andatory article concerning him: Is Steadman remember, now a litter than two years ago, of having collected $1.50 from members of the Presbyterian church? The members of the church, as we understand it, had caught by the alert (?) and vigilant (?) Marshal holding a little church attainment, admittance to which a big fee was charged. Somehow or so Steadman got wind of this dark mannable conspiracy on the part of Presbyterians to get a corner on a bit of the coin of the realm, and he drew down upon the outfit, demanding $1.50 from them as city license. A responded to the demand and paid money into the hands of Steadman. New weeks after the money had been to the discreet, watchful and loyal Steadman, a search of the books, led by Clerk Nebelung, by an in- and not a dollar has been asked of them. On July 4th, 1894, more than two years thereafter, the Marshal collected, acting under instructions of the Trustees, $1.25 from the ladies of the Presbyterian church for conducting an ice cream booth in town during that day and evening. On the same day he collected, under the same instructions, $1 from the ladies of the Catholic church for conducting a restaurant booth that day and evening. The ordinance provided that $1.25 be collected from ice-cream booths and $1 from restaurants. It was at the request of the regular ice-cream and restaurant dealers in town, who pay licenses regularly, that these licenses were imposed. They argued in support of this contention because, as they affirmed, the temporary booths reaped large profits from the great crowds in town on holidays. This ordinance continues in force, but the Marshal has not collected a cent from the Presbyterian church since that Fourth of July nearly six years ago. The statement of the Plain Dealer is a lie made out of whole cloth. L. E. Miller, the Treasurer of the Presbyterian church, informed Mr. Steadman on Saturday that during his incumbency of the office of Treasurer for five years, he (Miller) had never paid Steadman a cent for the church. Now, then, if this money which the Plain Dealer insinuates was paid Steadman was really so paid, some one must have the receipt for it; and the stub books will show a corresponding payment. This is one Plain Dealer lie effectually nailed. There will probably be others in its next issue. But they will avail little. Mr. Steadman is too well known in Anaheim to be harmed by such transparent and malicious lying. LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST. Death of J. D. Hall. Mrs. Nickerson has received a letter from Mrs. Ella L. Selleck, daughter of J. D. Hall of Pinconning, Mich., who formerly lived here, bringing the sad intelligence of his death at his home on February 27th. The deceased was 85 years and 10 days of age. Mr. Hall was formerly a well-known and highly respected resident of West Anaheim, where he lived in the house now occupied by Charley Norman, to whom he sold the property before departing for Michigan. He was a warm personal friend of Mr. Nickerson, who some days ago sent him a box of California oranges. Mrs. Selleck writes the fruit arrived after her father's death, and adds no one can tell how pleased he would have been with them. She states her father spoke frequently of his friends here, and it distresses her to feel the fruit arrived after his demise. The news of Mr. Hall's death came as a great shock to Mr. and Mrs. Nickerson, who were neighbors to them during his residence at West Anaheim, and whom they held in very high esteem. Hungerford Acquitted. Henry Hungerford, who was last week on trial in the Superior Court charged with the murder of Jim Gregg at the Hidden ranch last June, was on Thursday acquitted and discharged. Judge B. N. Smith of Los Angeles presided at Judge Ballard's request. The trial continued ten days, and was fought spiritedly by the defense, the prosecution by District Attorney Williams being notably weak and ineffective. Luther Hungerford was convicted last fall of murder in the second degree, being charged with his brother jointly with the killing. Judge Ballard set the verdict aside on points of law, and Williams thereupon moved to dismiss the case, and the defendant was Stedman on Saturday that during his incumbency of the office of Treasurer for five years, he (Miller) had never paid Steadman a cent for the church. Now, if this money which the Plain Dealer insinuates was paid Steadman was really so paid, some one must have the receipt for it; and the stub books will show a corresponding payment. This is one Plain Dealer lie effectually nailed. There will probably be others in its next issue. But they will avail little. Mr. Steadman is too well known in Anaheim to be harmed by such transparent and malicious lying. Produce the receipt, Mr. Plain Dealer, and prove your statement, or stand convicted again before the people of the community as a miserable and contemptible liar! Oranges Sold for Charity. NEW YORK, March 29.—A carload of California oranges given for the benefit of St. John's guild was sold in the auction-room of the Fruit Auction company, 10 Jay street, today. It brought more money than any carload of fruit ever sold in this city. The sale was conducted by E. L. Goodsell, the auctioneer. It began promptly at 3 p.m., and it was after 5 before the last lot was disposed of. Then it was announced that $4631.75 had been realized. The fruit was donated by the Southern California Fruit exchange through their agent, J. H. Schneider, and the car contained 365 boxes. Many of the boxes were resold several times, the buyers donating the amount at which they obtained the boxes to the guild. The auction-room was crowded and the bidding was brisk at first, but lagged toward the end of the sale. There was much enthusiasm during the sale, and several times there was cheering when the name of a prominent man or woman was announced as the buyer, or when the fruit was offered again for sale or donated to a charitable institution. Nearly all charitable institutions received donations of fruit. Former Mayor Strong, president of the guild, was present and took a prominent part in the bidding. He bought several boxes, paying above $30 for some of them. Another bidder was Coroner Zucca. He bid in a box for $25 for Mayor Van Wyck, and another at $12.50 for Andrew Freedman. Timothy L. Woodruff, through a representative, bought a box for $10. The first lot offered was a box of navels, and it was resold until $375 was taken in. At another time a box was resold until $135 had been realized. At first the bidding was brisk at $25 first call. Toward the end $3 was the first offer. At the close of the sale former Mayor Strong proposed three cheers for the Southern California Fruit exchange, the railroads which carried the oranges and the company which disposed of the fruit. Gives Up Walnut Growing The Pallette family has sold its fine walnut orchard property in the vicinity of Rivera, and expects to leave in June for South America, where they will engage in cattle raising. The country looked over last summer by William Pallette, and he saw an opening to secure land at a very moderate price, the equal of which does not exist on the at the Hidden ranch last June, was on Thursday acquitted and discharged. Judge B. N. Smith of Los Angeles presided at Judge Ballard's request. The trial continued ten days, and was fought spiritedly by the defense, the prosecution by District Attorney Williams being notably weak and ineffective. Luther Hungerford was convicted last fall of murder in the second degree, being charged with his brother jointly with the killing. Judge Ballard set the verdict aside on points of law, and Williams thereupon moved to dismiss the case, and the defendant was discharged. Henry Hungerford improved his chances of acquittal by going on the witness stand himself, and telling a straightforward story of the killing. There can also be no doubt that the testimony of George Howard against him weakened the case of the prosecution. Howard had been a partner of Luther Hungerford, who is an eye witness to the shooting, and was at first a witness for the defense. He subsequently "flopped" to the side of the prosecution, having been for some time past in the employ of Mrs. Gregg, and was no doubt guilty of downright lying in much of his story. Nevertheless, the acquittal of Hungerford is probably directly chargeable to the weakness in the District Attorney's office. The suit has fallen heavily upon the Hungerfords. They mortgaged their ranches for $2000 to raise money to defend their case. Some months ago Luther was said to have become insane, but on examination before the Los Angeles Superior Court was not committed to an asylum. Since then the brothers have been living quietly at their homes near Norwalk. Burdette: That was a rare intellectual feast, the lecture by Robert J. Burdette at The Opera-house on Thursday evening. The scintillant wit and humor, the depths of pathos and feeling, swayed the audience in turn to laughter and tears. A large audience greeted the lecturer, and at his close he was congratulated by many for the rare treat. The lecturer was introduced by Rev. Stone, and the lecture was preceded by a piano solo by Mrs. Erdman. This was the lecturer's first appearance before an Anaheim audience, but he lost no time in establishing a friendly feeling between himself and his auditors, and bursts of laughter erupted from all parts of the hall spontaneously throughout the evening—now at one sally of wit and now at another. From the sublime to the ridiculous was the order of the evening. We doubt if ever a more contented audience filled the hall. It was a rare delight to hear him. It is universal desire that Mr. Burdette come to Anaheim to lecture again. Tall Tar Weed: Analyses by members of the department of agriculture of the University of California prove that the yellow-blossoming alkali weed, otherwise known as the tall tar weed, which most Californians regard as a pest, is in reality an extremely valuable forage plant. It has nearly twice the percentage of proteins, or flesh formers, contained in wheat hay, and 50 per cent more than oat hay. Cattle will not eat the tar weed while it is green, but experiments made by Louis Berchof of Tulare, in conjunction with the university scientists, show On April 27th of the same year, S. E. Kleffer appeared before the City Trustees asking that this amount be remanded him. The minutes on file in the Clerk's office concerning this matter are to the following effect: April 27, 1892. Communication from S. E. Kleffer, asking for a rebate of license for an entertainment given at the Hotel Del Campo on April 22nd, and paid under protest; and Mr. Kleffer appeared before the board in regard to same, claiming that said entertainment did not come under the ordinance fixing a license for exhibitions, etc. Moved by Trustee Schindler, seconded by Trustee Rust, that said petition be granted, and said license be remitted. Ayes all present. [Witte, Schindler, Rust, Pellegrin and Littlefield.] On May 2d of the same year the minutes show the following: May 2, 1892. S. E. Kleffer appeared before the board, stating that the action of the board remitting the license of $3 exacted from the entertainment of the Society of Christian Endeavor, had excited some comment, and therefore he asked the board either to make their action a precedent covering all future cases of the same nature, or he would get the matter stand, and would not accept the remittance of said $3 voted previously to be returned to said society. No action taken. Subsequently the City Trustees struck out from the ordinance the provision imposing a license upon entertainments gotten up by home people, even when admission fees were charged. Since then scores of such entertainments have been given, not only by the Presbyterian, but by the Methodist, Catholic and German churches; At the close of the sale former Mayor Strong proposed three cheers for the Southern California Fruit exchange, the railroads which carried the oranges and the company which disposed of the fruit. Gives Up Walnut Growing The Pallette family has sold its fine walnut orchard property in the vicinity of Rivera, and expects to leave in June for South America, where they will engage in cattle raising. The country was looked over last summer by William Pallette, and he saw an opening to secure land at a very moderate price, the equal of which does not exist on the face of the earth. Alfalfa grows luxuriantly, and no gophers to molest, unless the philosopher of the family, Tom Pallette, takes a few along as a starter to remind him of his old California home. William Pallette reports that they can buy, where he intends to locate, 100 acres of the best land and fence it for the price they are getting for one acre of the land they have sold. The following prices were obtained for the land sold: Eighty acres river bottom, $50 per acre; 16 acres alfalfa land, $200 per acre; 110 acres to harshell walnuts, $350 per acre; 80½ acres to softshell walnuts, $400 per acre. They reserved from the sale 88 acres, which they are now about to sell to other parties at $250 per acre. Some six months ago they sold 102 acres adjoining this land for $38,700.—Downey Champion.

Cattle will not eat the tar weed while it is green, but experiments made by Louis Bertch of Tulare, in conjunction with the university scientists, show that if the weed is cut and made into hay, stock will eat it greedily and thrive upon it. Insect Pests. The State Board of Horticulture has issued a bulletin on Insect Pests and their Remedies, containing the latest approved formulas for preparing such remedies. The standard remedies for insect pests and tree and plant diseases, as published by the State Board of Horticulture within the past year, are still generally used, the bulletin says, by fruit growers throughout the State. The supply of these had become exhausted, and in order to keep fruit growers advised as to improvements in the methods of preparing and applying them, the new bulletin, which has just been received at this office, has been issued. Copies may be had by applying to the State Board of Horticulture at Sacramento. Duty and Habit. The cop—If I did my juty I'd run you in.
