The Republican County Central Committee, at a meeting held at Santa Ana on Saturday, elected the following delegates to the State and Congressional conventions, to meet at Sacramento May 15, for the purpose of nominating delegates to the Republican National convention: Judge J. W. Ballard, Santa Ana; William Crowther, Placentia, delegates at large. First Supervisor district, Linn L. Shaw; Second, Z. B. West; Third, E. B. Foster; Fourth, S. Armor; Fifth, H. K. Snow. The following were chosen alternates: H. McPhee, W. J. Fay, J. W. King, at large. From Supervisor districts—Charles S. McKelvey, Mitt Phillips, E. R. Amerige, W. H. Burnham, George W. Griffiths. The Republican National convention meets at Philadelphia June 19th, when candidates for President and Vice President will be chosen. Two delegates will be chosen from this Congressional district, and two alternates, to the Republican National convention. The delegates from the various counties of this district will, on the same day, meet in State convention at Sacramento, for the purpose of selecting four delegates at large to the National convention, and four alternates, to act in case the delegates selected are absent. A primary election will be held in August, to select delegates to a Congressional convention, to choose a candidate for Representative in Congress. No one has thus far appeared to contest Mr. Needham's right to renomination, and he will in all probability be renominated by acclamation. passed through Hongkong, to which it was accredited in our export statements. Shipments of breadstuffs in the form of wheat to the Orient, however, have been in the past rare, and the large shipment of wheat just announced shows the growing demand for our breadstuffs in that section of the world, which buys annually $1,000,000,000 worth of goods, and which has been in the past taking less than 6 per cent of its purchases from the United States. That our sales to the Orient are rapidly growing is shown by the latest export statistics. They show that while there has been continued growth in exports during the past fiscal year, by far the largest percentage of growth has been in trade with the Orient. To Europe, exports during the eight months ending with February increased 5.4 per cent as compared with the corresponding three months of the preceding fiscal year; to South America, 8 per cent; to North America, 13.3 per cent; to Asia, 38 cent; to Oceania, 6 per cent; or to Asia and Oceania combined, 44 per cent, while to Africa there was a slight reduction owing to the disarrangement of commercial conditions there by reason of hostilities. Taking our exports as a whole, it is found that the increase during the eight months has been 9 per cent, while, as already indicated, the increase to Asia and Oceania has been 44 per cent. This increase in our sales to the Orient occurs in every country classified under the head, Asia and Oceania. To China the increase is from $9,247,-738 in the eight months ending with February, 1899, to $40,385,485 in the eight months ending with February, 1900; to the British East Indies from $2,845,196 to $3,124,169; to Hongkong, from $4,732,072 to $5,136,162; to British Australasia, from $12,525,-365 to $17,999,403; to the Hawaiian islands, from $5,608,000 to $8,546,859; and to Japan, from $10,505,854 in the real estate transfer.

No one has thus far appeared to contest Mr. Needham's right to renomination, and he will in all probability be renominated by acclamation. Commissioner Huntington exhibited at this office the other day a rose slip which was badly infested with red scale. He is now engaged in making a thorough inspection of the town and surrounding small places as well. He finds the rose bushes, as a rule, infested; also some of the ornamental shrubbery and shade trees. Almost every one seems anxious to clean up if some way can be provided to do so. He is determined to spare no pains in hunting out all infested corners and having the same cleaned up, and says if the Supervisors can see their way clear to furnish a few tents the task will be accomplished without very great trouble. Mr. Huntington also showed us a lemon, with apparently few red scale upon it. Placed under the microscope numberless red scale were revealed to the eye, so small that they could not be seen without the glass. This lemon orchard should be fumigated now, while the pests are young. The best job of fumigating Mr. Huntington ever saw was done in March. The blossoms were out, but such a small amount of cyanide was necessary to destroy the scale that the bloom was not disturbed. The orchardists of the county are resolved to wage a persistent warfare against the scale, to the end that we may have clean, bright fruit in all orchards and groves of all classes cleaned out, and a stop put to their existence as breeding places for pests to go out and prey upon the many orchards of the county. The cooler, where vagabonds, thieves, thugs, drunks and murderers are supposed to find a resting place, was a queer den in which to put a man, wounded unto death, to die. Nobody would have thought of such a thing but Steadman. In the absence of a hospital, humanity would have dictated that the poor unfortunate should have been taken either to a lodging-house or to the City Hall, where his dying agonies could have been ministered to by kindly hands in a Christian manner. Only a Mexican, you say. No matter for that. He was human; helpless, friendless and poor. Your God is his God, and to Him must every one of us account for our inhumanity to man—Plain Dealer. This is all very fine, but this show increases in our sales to the Orient occurs in every country classified under the head Asia and Oceania. To China the increase is from $9,247,-788 in the eight months ending with February, 1899, to $40,385,485 in the eight months ending with February, 1900; to the British East Indies from $2,845,196 to $3,124,169; to Hongkong, from $4,732,072 to $5,136,162; to British Australasia, from $12,525,-365 to $17,999,403; to the Hawaiian islands, from $5,608,000 to $8,546,859; and to Japan, from $10,505,854 in the eight months ending with February, 1899, to $18,344,179 in the eight months ending with February, 1900. This phenomenal increase in our exports to the Orient, and especially to Japan, is more surprising because of recent information from Japan which shows that general importations into that country have been greatly decreased under its new tariff, which is mildly protective. The total imports of Japan in 1899 were 220,367,622 yen, against 277,-502,157 yen in 1898, the value of a yen being 49.8 cents. Thus, while Japan is decreasing general imports she continues to rapidly increase her imports from the United States. The remarkable growth of our exports to the Orient becomes fully apparent when the figures of our exports are compared with those of a few years ago. Our exports to Japan in 1893 were $3,195,494. In 1899 they were $17,264,688, and seem likely to be $26,000,000 in 1900. To China our exports in 1893 were $3,900,457,and in 1900 will be about $15,000,000. To Hongkong our exports in 1893 were $4,216,602,and promise to be over $8,000,000 in 1900. To Australasia the exports of 1893 were $7,921,228,and promise to be fully $24,000,000 in 1900. To Asiatic Russia the exports of 1893 were less than $250,000but will reach $2,000,000 in 1900. Even more remarkable is the growth of exports to the Hawaiian and Philippine islands. To the Hawaiian islands the exports of 1893 were $2,827,863; in 1899,$9,905,470,and in the fiscal year 1900 promise to be fully $12,000,000; while exports to the Philippines, which in 1893 were only $154,378will the present year exceed $2,000,000. Considering our exports to Asia and Oceania combined,the total for the fiscal year 1893 was $27,421,S31;for 1899,$78,235,L76;and for the present fiscal year will exceed $100,000,000. Los Angeles seems to be infested with a gang of footpads that are fast terrorizing the people of that city. On Saturday evening shortly after 9 o'clock a young man named Joseph Hildner, while returning to his home on Boyle Heights with his aged mother，was set upon by two robbers who demanded that he Nobody would have thought of such a thing but Steadman. In the absence of a hospital, humanity would have dictated that the poor unfortunate should have been taken either to a lodging-house or to the City Hall, where his dying agonies could have been ministered to by kindly hands in a Christian manner. Only a Mexican, you say. No matter for that. He was human; helpless, friendless and poor. Your God is his God, and to Him must every one of us account for our inhumanity to man.—Plain Dealer. This is all very fine, but this show of virtuous indignation concerning Marshal Steadman is all rot. He had nothing to do with the arrest of the Indian who died in the city jail—that arrest was made by Constable Kuebler and his deputy, the latter being an especial protege of our esteemed contemporary. We are free to admit that the dying Indian should not have been placed in jail, now that this matter has been brought up; but the Plain Dealer will have to criticise others therefor instead of the usual object of its spleen. The Indian was brought over from Fullerton, where he and his companions had been carousing. The Fullerton Constable happened to be away at the time, and word was sent here for the Anaheim Constable to go over and place them under arrest. Kuebler went over with his deputy, arrested one Indian and brought several others along with him, including the one so seriously hurt, who afterward died. If there are any criticisms to make, let them fall, not upon an official who had nothing to do with the case, but where it properly belongs. The announcement of large wheat shipments to Japan from Pacific ports lends interest to some figures the Treasury Bureau of Statistics has prepared regarding the growing demand for American foodstuffs and manufactures in the Orient. Nearly $6,000,000 worth of flour went to the Orient last year, against about $4,000,000 worth the preceding year, and nearly all of it to China, Japan and Asiatic Russia. A large proportion of that which reached China Los Angeles seems to be infested with a gang of footpads that are fast terrorizing the people of that city. On Saturday evening shortly after 9 o'clock a young man named Joseph Hildner, while returning to his home on Boyle Heights with his aged mother, was set upon by two robbers, who demanded that he throw up his hands. The old lady began screaming, and the young man attempted to escape in the dark, when he was fired upon and mortally wounded. He expired almost instantly. The robbers were soon out of sight, and when the belated police arrived there was nothing for them to do but to pick up the body of the victim and take it to the morgue. Later in the evening a young man walking with a lady was confronted by two men, who were in all probability the same ones who committed the murder, and relieved of his watch and money. The attempted assassination of Judge Gooding some weeks ago will be recalled, as well as the numerous other offenses of footpads, against whom a concerted effort should be made to effect their capture. Gov. Gage has offered a reward of $300 for information that will lead to their arrest, and the Chief of Police has added $100 to the amount. Other sums may be added, to the end that this gang of murderous thugs may be exterminated. It is supposed the crimes are the acts of the two murderers of Saturday night. That no clue should have been secured as to their identity, after the numerous acts of outlawry, would seem to be a reproach to the Los Angeles police. Farmers' Club. The Farmers' club meets at the residence of George A. Hunter on Monday afternoon next, the 30th.

[CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] During its course the Ganges irrigation canal for a long stretch flows nearly parallel with the foot of the hills, and has to cross all the streams, torrents and drainages which flow from them. Vast aqueducts have been constructed to carry these bodies of water one over the other. In one place the Ramipore torrent is carried across the Ganges canal by a masonry work 196 feet wide and 14 feet deep. Lower down the Puttri torrent is carried across the canal by a masonry passage 296 feet wide. The Puttri torrent has a catchment basin of 80 square miles, and both of these torrents are subject to sudden floods of great violence. In another instance the canal encounters the Butmo torrent, which has a catchment basin of 125 square miles. This torrent is boldly admitted into the canal over a masonry inlet, and passes out over a masonry dam 800 feet in width and immediately opposite the inlet. Once again when the Solani river is met the entire canal is taken over this large stream by an aqueduct. The Solani has a discharge in floods of about 35,000 cubic feet per second, and the aqueduct which carries the Ganges canal across the river has a length of nearly three miles. The bed of the canal is raised considerably above the surrounding country, in one place as high as 24 feet. Millions of dollars of waste occurs every year in the cities of the United States; enough, it has been stated, to sustain ten million people. The waste in a single large city, New York for instance, is enormous, the annual value of her sewage and manure alone being in the millions. New York's and Chicago's vast sewage is carried out to sea, and Chicagoans think they have achieved a great engineering triumph whereby their hundreds of thousands of tons of concentrated fertility is swept into the Mississippi and finally to the Gulf of Mexico. In this connection it is interesting to note that some communities are utilizing their waste in enriching adjacent lands. Paris is making a vast experiment with using its sewage for irrigating farm lands upon which can be grown wonderful yields. A dispatch from Walla Walla, Washington, states that a fruit company owning a large orchard near the city has conSUMMARY OF CROPS. Frost Nipped Some Deciduous Fruit in Northern Localities—Fine General Prospects. SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-The Department of Agriculture has prepared the following summary of the weather and crop conditions existing in California for the week just ended: The temperature was several degrees above normal during the first part of the week, changing suddenly to below normal on the 19th, but no injurious frosts occurred. Rain on the 20th was general throughout the State, and greatly benefited grain, hay, pasturage and fruits. Some localities reported slight damage to grain and hay by heavy rain, and ripening cherries were cracked, but the loss will be trifling. The heavy frost of the 9th, as stated in the preceding week's bulletin, injures deciduous fruits and grapes in many localities, and late reports from Santa Clara and Napa counties state that the crop was killed in some orchards; ports from other sections, where it had been feared the fruit was seriously jured, now state that the damage was comparatively insignificant and that average crops are expected. North of the Tehachapi grain and wheat are looking well, and prospects continue good for large crops. Haying is progressing, though somewhat retarded recent rain; hay is of good quality due to the yield appears to be up to the age. Southern California was benefited by the rain; vineyards, orchards and pasture being freshened and given new life, and in a few places it is late-sown grain will now yield a crop. A light crop of barley hay is ing harvested in the south. From all the information obtained through correspondents in all sections it still seems probable that the year of deciduous fruits will be equal to season's, even though small locality fails to mature any fruit. The section not affected by frosts have an unusually heavy setting of nearly all fruits, sibly excepting apricots in some districts, and large crops may be expected from these sections.

Here is a mutual co-operation; the fruit men want water for irrigation purposes and the city had a task of no small proportions in getting rid of this surplus water. The fruit company owns a large orchard just below Walla Walla, and the trees require irrigation to bring the best results. For years the company has been endeavoring to solve the problem; now it is believed the irrigated property will be one of the best paying investments in the State. That one-third of the entire country is today vacant public land is a fact astonishing to the Eastern traveler who goes West and who cannot comprehend the vast stretches of unoccupied lands that lie awaiting development in the Western States and Territories.

The Captain was heard to say, “Darn the rheumatism, anyhow!” after which he disappeared, undoubtedly having made a bee-line for home. At 12 o’clock the oil lamps were lighted, and dancing was continued until an early hour in the morning. Horticultural Notes. President Kearney of the Raisin Growers’ association of Fresno on Monday announced the association had failed to secure the 75 per cent of the raisin acreage required, and offered to return contracts to those who signed them. The directors ask, however, that they be allowed to market the portion of the crop secured, between 50 and heavy setting of nearly all fruits, since excepting apricots in some tricts, and large crops may be expected from these sections. WALNUT GROWERS Meet and Agree to Stand Together Mutual Benefit. A meeting of the walnut growers associations of Southern California held in Los Angeles some days after four counties—Ventura, Santa Barbara Orange and Los Angeles—were sent about 30 members in all present. W. H. Spurgeon of Ana presided. The meeting was called for the pose of taking concerted action in the associations toward the market of the coming season’s crop. An agreement to work together mutual protection was formulated. Secretary J. A. Montgomery of L was instructed to have a number copies printed and sent to each action. After they are signed their items will be returned to the Secretary of the executive committee, who look after them. The association is arranging to chase the entire quantity of bags by the members for the coming year in one lot.

An Opening for California Fruit If Congressman Needham succeeds in the War Department duce the Philippine duties on goods, California producers served fruits will get some benefit the trade with the islands.

The people are not so indulge in luxuries as Californias but in a population of a million siderable proportion will be favorable change of diet that conduces good living. Mr Needham says that the tariff that has been in force barred from the Philippines canned goods. This is a single example of discrimination to make long, but the excuse probably that the War Department matters to attend to. Since tion has been called to the ties of the Spanish tariff, there that interests California be longer overlooked.

The directors ask, however, that they be allowed to market the portion of the crop secured, between 50 and 55 per cent, and cut prices to meet the competition of those outside the association. Late reports from the prune districts of Oregon and Washington indicate that the damage to the prune crop by the frosts of the past ten days will reach nearly $500,000. While, in Southern Oregon, the peach and pear crops were damaged somewhat, the main damage in other districts is to the prune crop. Schaefer's Store Continued. C. H.

ADDRESS: BOX 1674, ANAHEIM, CAL. YOU CAN SAVE TIME Trouble and Risk by Subscribing for PERIODICALS and PAPERS through my Agency Joseph Helmsen O. R. LUEDKE JEWELER and OPTICIAN Mr. Needham says that the Spanish tariff that has been in force practically barred from the Philippines American banned goods. This is a singular example of discrimination to maintain so long, but the excuse probably will be that the War Department had other matters to attend to. Since its attention has been called to the peculiarities of the Spanish tariff, there is hope that the interests of California will not be longer overlooked. California is one of the great fruit-producing countries of the world. The quality of our fruit is not surpassed, and its quantity can be doubled when markets are opened for it. We may not be able to bring goods across the continent and sell them in the markets of Asia, but we can certainly sell such products as grow on the Pacific coast. Transportation over 7000 miles of ocean will add but a trifle to the cost of production. There is no great amount of American conscience back of the liquor traffic, but the producers of fruits are among the world's benefactors.—Bulletin. Hotel. Hugh G. Smith, until recently with Harris & Falkenstein, has been negotiating with Mr. Malcolm for the purchase of the Commercial hotel. Mr. Malcolm has gone to Long Beach, where he has purchased property, and he has been given the wharf privileges during the summer. His health has been bad of late, he being afflicted with heart trouble, and he moved to the seashore feeling that a change would benefit his condition. The hotel continues open. Mr. Smith is a popular young man, and if he succeeds in purchasing the property will conduct a first-class hotel. Success to him. Misapprehension.

[j26tf] E. W. M'COLLUM. Hard on the Burglar. "There is a family in my town," said a Baltimore man, "where the children are all boys. They are very rich, and each of the three sons is in receipt of a liberal allowance, but the manner in which they expend it and certain of their characteristics were as succinctly and tersely described as possible the other day by Bob, the eldest one, in telling the story of a burglary that occurred last summer at their country place. Bob is the oldest, Jack the second and Albert the youngest son. Bob, in telling the story, said: "He didn't get very much, as some one of the servants thought he heard something about 3 and in going to investigate probably scared him off, but when we discovered the next morning that a burglar had visited us we naturally took an account of stock. The only rooms in the house he had entered were those of my two brothers and myself, and in each of them he had gone through the clothes we had been wearing the day before. Out of my clothes he got 10 cents, from Jack he got nothing, and in going through Bert's jeans he got in debt."—New York Tribune. MEAT MARKET JOHN KELLENBERGER, Prop.
