The problems of irrigation and of water supply reach from the mountain summits where streams rise to the staked plains where none exist. They include the forest and pasture lands as well as the areas which can be reclaimed by irrigation. These public grazing lands adjoin or surround the irrigable lands. They are not now subject to any sort of management or control, but are an open common with no laws or regulations to limit the use made of them, or to protect them from spoliation from continuous overstocking. Those ranging stock thereon pay nothing for the privilege either in the way of rent or taxes, and, having no security of tenure, make no improvements. It is a situation, therefore, which is manifestly unjust to the taxpayers who have to bear the burden of maintaining law and order over these lands. In several States they comprise over three-fourths of the entire area. Nor is the lot of their users an altogether happy one. To get something for nothing is attractive. And the privilege of grazing over all the territory one can travel over in a month's journey has led many people to seek to enjoy it. As a result the ranges have been overstocked for several years, and the difficulty which confronted Abraham and Lot, when they had many cattle and but little land, has been often experienced by stockmen on the open range. As no one can have exclusive possession, stockmen crowd each other to secure the desirable ranges. When there is not room for all, those crowded out move on and displace others. So long as there is no security of tenure, no one will plant a tree, dig a well or build a reservoir, or make any sort of improvement. As a result these lands look just as they did when the Indian left them, and if the open range as an institution is continued for a few years there was nothing to say against California oranges. The only embarrassment was that enough could not be obtained. Happily, as well for the growers that State as for the lovers of the frie in the East, at the time of greatest scarcity of oranges in Florida to "navels" were abundant and in the prime on the young trees in Riverside and a score of other favored place Florida is now turning its attention more than before "the great freezes" the cultivation of the ruling kind under the setting sun, and after a few year the people will have the advantage that comes from competition. The end of the season for early anges will be in another week or two days, and nearly all the shipments have been received. The principal deal report that during the season 434 boxes of oranges have come into the market from California alone. The have not, of course, all been consumed here, but the great majority have been. The average quality has been very high. Skillful horticulturists, assisting ture, have by extreme attention scientific selection of fertilizers greatly improved both the appearance and flavor of the oranges grown there. They have made some of them care by two months than formerly were. For last Thanksgiving they were "Californias" in the market of very good color. Before this year anges from that quarter had been received here for Christmas it thought to be doing remarkably well. S. P. Cut-off The Southern Pacific company invited contracting firms on this C to send in bids for the construction an important piece of new road for Southern Pacific company in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. It cut-off for the coast division, and it have the effect of materially shorten both the distance and time for trave between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The new piece of road will about ten miles long. On this there will be a tunnel 4000 feet length. The new piece of road is better Moorpark and Chatsworth Park, will connect the Montalvo and C worth Park branches of the South Pacific. The cut-off will have curves, and the grades will be competitively light. C. P. Huntington state for the East Wednesday morning stop will be made at Reno, as he tends making a trip of inspection the Carson and Colorado road, which he recently purchased from D. O. M often experienced by stockmen on the open range. As no one can have exclusive possession, stockmen crowd each other to secure the desirable ranges. When there is not room for all, those crowded out move on and displace others. So long as there is no security of tenure, no one will plant a tree, dig a well or build a reservoir, or make any sort of improvement. As a result these lands look just as they did when the Indian left them, and if the open range as an institution is continued for a thousand years the lands grazed over will be less attractive and give less grass than they do today. In fact, present conditions are a direct incentive to spoliation. They lead every one to make all he can out of the present without regard to future consequences. The result of this has been that overstocking and continuous pasturage have in many cases led to the complete destruction of the native grasses. The removal of the forests from the mountains is not more certain than the destruction of the free grass on the plains unless there is some sort of protective legislation enacted, while with the diminished value and increasing use of these lands we are certain to witness a constant increase in the number and seriousness of the conflicts for possession. The conflict between owners of cattle and sheep will only end with the survival of the fittest, and in this the sheepman has the advantage. Wherever his flocks go the range steer disappears. In many sections he is now only a memory, like the buffalo. Some of the leading stock-raising States have less than half the cattle they had ten years ago, notwithstanding the increase in irrigated land. To end these evils there must be some permanence of possession and restriction in the use of these lands. The best way to secure this is to lease the grazing lands, the general government retaining the title thereto, but giving the States which desire to accept the trust the right to rent them and apply the proceeds to the building of canals and reservoirs and to the conservation of our irrigation resources in other ways. The leasing of these lands has been urged because it will end range conflicts and preserve the grass, and because the people who now use the land make no improvements. Lessees would at least build fences. They would do more. But if rented even at a low rate the income from this vast area would be a sum so large as to seem incredible to those who have not studied this question, and in comparison to the fact that not one cent is now received. In some States it would be more than double the sum now collected by taxes for State purposes, notwithstanding by stockmen on the open range. Stearns Ranchos Co. to W. J. Cleghorn—W.

California now has practically a monopoly of this market for its oranges, cherries and grapes of the best varieties. Until seven years ago Florida had the preference here for its oranges. The frost then killed nearly every grove in that State, and after two years, just when the afflicted inhabitants were plucking up courage to plant trees anew, there came another severe frost and deterred many. Ever since, however, the new settings have been untouched by the winter cold, and Florida is once more to be congratulated on the prospect it has, according to recent reports, of gathering at least 1,000,000 boxes of oranges next year. But Chicago dealers in this fruit say that the Florida crop will have to be three or four times larger before many "Indian Rivers" will be seen in this market. The bulk of them will be shipped by water to New York. This last winter there has been a small trade of the kind, but only fifty carloads have been received here, while possibly, it is said, 200 carloads have gone to New York. Chicago consumers of oranges once fancied that Florida oranges were superior to those of California, and there was some reason for this fancy, but, when seventeen years ago, plants of the Washington navel variety were imported by the government from Australia and sent out to the young colony of Indians at Riverside, Cal., and when the plants grew and matured, a different complexion was put on the affair. Groves of the new variety multiplied and throve amazingly, and after California has always been the of as a fruit and general producer with a record for gold mining in gone by. When the subject of nature as a manufacturing State broached it seemed a foregone option that was among the important fields for nowhere in the State has coal been found in quite worth mentioning as a commercial tor. Recently there have been well and widespread discoveries of mostly fuel oil, though illuminated has been found and is produced in large quantities. California has been producing oil for many years. So the wells have been pumping so far as long as 25 years, and recent interest has become much more serious. The increased production has sufficiently large to assure users that they would be safe in such alterations as are necessary oil instead of coal. The Santa Fe road has altered all its engines to its California lines, and now uses oil only, and saves 17 per cent in compared with coal. Big buildings Los Angeles have given up using and are able to heat their structure less than half of the cost of coal. Tension engines and other such like chinery are run by this fuel, and owners state that not only is it saving in the cost of fuel, but it is the cost of transporting weight and saves the wages of the man who have to be employed as a fireman the oil runs into the firebox with stoker's assistance. One of the peculiarities of these operations in California is the fact that the increased production has increased the going price of oil, large producers find any difficulty selling their oil. This was understood when one consider such a great concern as the Union Works of San Francisco takes barrels a month and uses it for while at Redding one large company is building a large store to hold 125,000 barrels of oil, for stead of coal in the furnaces. It is therefore more than probable that California will forge to the as a manufacturing State, and hence at the gateway to the Orleans favors such a probability. PORTO RICAN SUGAR. Customs Duties Paid on Consignments of Sugar and Molasses Imported from the Island—Other News. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.] WASHINGTON, May 19.—In response to a resolution of inquiry the Secretary of the Treasury sent to the House of Representatives a report giving the names of persons, firms and corporations who have paid customs duties on goods and articles of every description which have entered the United States from Porto Rico since the treaty with Spain, with articles and amounts paid by each. The following statement shows the amounts of customs duties paid on sugar and molasses from Porto Rico and entered at the port of New York by the respective consignees thereof: Amount of Duties: Name of Firm.

Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, wanted to smite that gigantic monopoly with another stunning blow this year, and he therefore opposed the bill imposing a duty of 15 per cent of the Dingley rates of duty on sugar imported from Porto Rico and admit the same free of duty. In his zeal he even went further, and proposed to make the sugar trust a present of $637,551 out of the national treasury, instead of using it for the benefit of Porto Rico and its destitute and suffering inhabitants. On March 15, 1900, the bill to appropriate and expend for the benefit of Porto Rico all duties collected on imports from that island since April 11, PLACENTIA.

California Section, San Francisco, for the week ending Monday, May 21. The temperature has been a few degrees above normal this week, except in portions of Southern California, and the weather has been generally clear and favorable for the growth and development of grain, fruit and all summer crops. Wheat and barley are maturing rapidly, and barley harvest has already commenced in a few places; the first carload of barley was shipped from San Joaquin county on the 16th. North of the Tehachapi the prospects for large crops of grain continue good; harvesting will be general within the next two weeks. Haying is progressing in all sections; in the central and northern portions the yield is heavy, and the quality is said to be excellent in all sections. Corn and bean planting are in progress, and there will be a large acreage in the districts cultivating these crops. Hops are looking well, and give promise of a heavy yield. Deciduous fruits are ripening rapidly. A "Growlery." "Please don't go in there." That growlery, and it's occupied." It is a young West Philadelphia matron made the remark as she was shaking a friend through her new home. "The growlery!" repeated the word "What's that? Not where you run growler, I hope?" This was said in a jocular spirit the visitor was rather staggered in reply. "That's it exactly; where we run growlery, although perhaps not way you fancy.

STERN BROS, CALIFORNIA OIL. Denver Times. Casting up the value of Colorado's dry resources it is the custom to stock our coal, gold, silver, copper, cultural lands, railroad interests, but very rarely do we take any interest in the value of the oil discoveries within the borders of our State. The value of these has been accented most markedly of late by the oil statement that now exists in California, from the bay of Frisco clear on San Diego. California has always been thought to be a fruit and general produce state, a record for gold mining in days by. When the subject of its future as a manufacturing State was reached it seemed a foregone conclusion that that was among the impossibilities, for nowhere in the Golden Valley has coal been found in quantities with mentioning as a commercial facet.Recently there have been wonder and widespread discoveries of oil. 1899, amounting to more than $2,000,000, was pending in the Senate, and Mr. Jones offered an amendment to return the duties "to the persons from whom they were collected." If Mr. Jones' proposition had been adopted and his desire realized, the sugar trust would have received a handsome present, amounting to $637,551, from the treasury of the United States, as shown by the above statement by Secretary Gage of the amount of duty which they have paid. Last year there was considerable increase in the imports of American and Japanese cotton goods into China, as well as in their quality, such as white shirts. It is worth noticing, as evidence of a disposition to increase the purchase of foreign goods, that what may be described as cotton goods de luxe, such as chintzes, printed twills, cambries, etc., and handkerchiefs, jumped from 305,314 to 678,356 dozens. Cotton channel showed a remarkable increase, from 153,885 to 397,469 pieces, and Japanese棉纤维从56,$35 to 176,676 pieces. English cotton yarn suffered a falling off, while Indian and Japanese increased. Woolen goods, conditions during the week having been very favorable, and grapes are beginning to show strong and healthy growth. Some localities report that the yield of peaches will be above the average, and that the quality will also be better than usual. There will be a good crop of Sonoma county apples. Prunes and apricots will be plentiful, though it is reported that apricots will be a failure in a few places where the frost was most severe. Orange trees are looking thrifty, and give indications of a large yield. Walnuts are not progressing satisfactorily, being somewhat later than usual. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Warm days and cool nights, with considerable cloudiness and light fogs, have been generally beneficial to growing crops. In some sections, however, the growth of berries and deciduous fruits has been somewhat retarded. Grain, hay, pasturage and orchards continue to show the good effects of the late rains, and the water supply is good. Peaches are very backward, and other deciduous fruits are not mature.

E.B.MERRITT, E.B.MERRITT, PUBLIC AUCTION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN TO THE ORDER IN THE DISTRICT OF THE UNITED STATES. California has always been thought of as a fruit and general produce State, with a record for gold mining in days by when the subject of its future as a manufacturing State was reached it seemed a foregone conclusion that that was among the impossibilities, for nowhere in the Golden State has coal been found in quantities with mentioning as a commercial facility. Recently there have been wonder and widespread discoveries of oil—tight fuel oil, though illuminating oil been found and is produced in good quantities. California has been producing oil for many years. Some of wells have been pumping steadily as long as 25 years, and recently the interest has become much more generous. The increased production has sufficiently large to assure fuel needs that they would be safe in making alterations as are necessary to use instead of coal. The Santa Fe railroad altered all its engines used on California lines, and now uses fuel only, and saves 17 per cent in cost as compared with coal. Big buildings in Angeles have given up using coal because able to heat their structures for less than half of the cost of coal. Traction engines and other such machinery are run by this fuel, and the owners state that not only is it a great thing in the cost of fuel, but it saves cost of transporting weight and also helps the wages of the man who used to be employed as a fireman, as toll runs into the firebox without a driver's assistance. One of the peculiarities of the developments in California is the fact that increased production has not deprived the going price of oil, nor do producers find any difficulty in selling their oil. This will be understood when one considers that it is a great concern as the Union Iron Works of San Francisco takes 30,000 barrels a month and uses it for fuel, while at Redding one large smelting company is building a large storage of 125,000 barrels of oil, for use instead of coal in the furnaces. There is therefore more than probable that California will forge to the front manufacturing State, and her location at the gateway to the Orient highways such a probability. Last year there was considerable increase in the imports of American and Japanese cotton goods into China, as well as in their quality, such as white shirttings. It is worth noticing, as evidence of a disposition to increase the purchase of foreign goods, that what may be described as cotton goods de luxe, such as chintzes, printed twills, cambrics, etc., and handkerchiefs, jumped from 305,314 to 678,356 dozens. Cotton flannel showed a remarkable increase, from 153,885 to 397,469 pieces, and Japanese cotton flannel from 56,835 to 176,676 pieces. English cotton yarn suffered a falling off, while Indian and Japanese increased. Woolen goods, though not showing such a promising progress as cotton goods, made a distinct advance—camlets, lastings, long ells and blankets all having increased in quantity imported. The policy of expansion will secure more of this trade for us. Jurupa Case. From the Orange Post. In the case of the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company vs. the Jurupa Land and Water company et al., the State Supreme Court affirmed the order of the lower court on Thursday, directing the change of venue from the Superior Court of Orange county to that of Los Angeles county instead of to Riverside county, as prayed for by some of the defendants. This case has outlived some of the defendants, who were wrecked financially by attempting to take water out of the river in spite of the water companies below them. The decision will be useful as a precedent, maintaining the right of the trial Judge to direct the change of venue instead of the petitioners, although the suit itself may never come to trial.
