COMING COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY Expansion Policy Resulting in the Direct Advantage to the California Orchard—Irrigation—Good Roads—Immigration. In addition to our splendid natural endowments, the political and industrial developments of the last two years on this continent and in the Orient have resulted to our direct advantage. The discovery of gold in Alaska has brought and will bring a large population to that territory which will look to California for its food supply. This should furnish us with an extensive and profitable market. In addition, we may confidently look to see much of the wealth acquired in that frozen country seek this State as a place for profitable investment. Without entering upon the dangerous discussion of the merits of expansion, it is undeniable that the Orient has at last been opened up to a very large American and European settlement and trade. Every indication is that this will continue and increase, and because of our ability to meet its requirements, and because of our advantage of location, we should enjoy the best of this commerce. As we write, assurances multiply that the Nicaragua Canal will be constructed by the United States government, the work to commence at an early date. This will give us direct and inexpensive communication with the world's choicest markets, and give us a most favorable commercial location. When this canal is finished, we will find ourselves with direct rail communication with our Atlantic States, and with almost direct water competition regulating transportation rates. We will have an almost direct route to Eastern South-American ports, and will be midway along unobstructed lines between Europe and the Orient. Such a position cannot fail to make California a center of commercial activity. There is a constantly increasing use of water in California for irrigation purposes, and the area of irrigated land is steadily being extended. We would find it difficult to exaggerate the good results which follow the use of water on our soil; by its agency our yields can be made enormous, and a crop failure impossible. This was very well illustrated during the dry season of 1898, and that drought stimulated this work and revived an interest in this question which cannot fail to be of great benefit to the State. The irrigation work which has heretofore beencial growth so that in little more than a generation we find ourselves in the very forefront of progress. To maintain our statehood and our supremacy is now the work of the sons of these men, who should be qualified by their heredity and experience for the work. It is to be hoped that those who hereafter seek California as a residence will be of a character worthy of citizenship in so favored a land, and worthy successors of the pioneers. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. Our agricultural population, because of the variety and luxuriance of our products, the conditions under which they are grown, and our geographical position, is called upon to meet conditions which require training, experience and a high order of ability. Probably of no other farming class in the world is demanded so much technical and general information. Our farmers are not mere producers; they are in most cases that first, next manufacturers and third, merchants, jobbers or dealers. They first grow fruit, with all the knowledge of selection, propagation, grafting, pruning and cultivation which that demands; next they can or preserve it, and then sell the finished product in one of the most fickle and difficult markets of the world. They grow grapes; dry, cure and frequently seed and pack the raisin product, and then through a great wholesaling organization dispose of their pack. They breed and feed and bring to production a dairy herd, send the milk to a factory owned by themselves and by their neighbors, and sell the resulting cheese, butter or condensed milk in Alaska, Central America or the Orient. They breed fine horses in California and sell them in New York, London and Vienna. They are men of large ideas. Visit a California orchard or vineyard, note the process of picking, selecting, grading and packing, the artistic paper, the dainty package, and you will be impressed with the fact that on this western coast a farmer is a man beyond his class who has risen to the true dignity of his calling. From the excellence and variety of our products they should be introduced to the best markets in the world, and our people should be prepared to meet these conditions. The agricultural education supplied by our public institutions should seek to provide this training and fit our young men to meet the conditions the future will present. Work along practical lines has been done heretofore by the State Board of Horticulture, the Viticultural Commission and the Dairy Bureau. The farmers' institutes now being held throughout the State, under the direction of the State University, are doing a most valuable work. If the agricultural course at the State University could be made to include practical instruction and preparation for the work awaiting a progressive California agriculturist, the greatest good will result, and the highly trained young men sent out by HIS NEW WHISKERS: OAT HAY Former Show Up in All Their Aforetime Loveliness—Price of the Latter is Fixed at $10 Per Ton. "Don't forget the whiskers!" called Mr. Bradford to the reporter, as latter was leaving the water office on Saturday afternoon, as the chairman cleared the room by calling for the executive session. Mr. Bradford had, during past month, put out another growth of beautiful auburn whiskers. At the meeting on April 27th he showed up with his whiskers shorn. At that time his best friends didn't know him—or knowing him, refused to recognize him. At the meeting two weeks later Mr. Bradford and his whiskers were conspicuous by their absence. The rumor spread that he was growing a new crop and did not want to come in while they were yet in their embryonic stage. On Saturday afternoon he showed up as if nothing had happened, and there were the whiskers as of yore. Mr. Bradford is a valuable man on the board, and his one offense of shaving off his whiskers will in all probability be condoned by his friends. Secretary Blennerhassett read a report made by Mr. Crowther of Dnrkeville, to the effect that there would be 200 tons of oat hay on the ranch which would be offered for sale. Mr. Bradford scratched his whiskers and said he wanted 20 tons of it. Mr. Cargill, who occupied the chair in the absence of Mr. Chapman, said the freight on the hay to Fullerton would be $1.12 per ton. Mr. Pierotti thought this would be pretty dear hay by the time one got it on his ranch. Mr. Bradford said he had paid $10 per ton for good hay from Santa Ana. He did not think the company should charge more than the ruling market rate. Mr. Cargill said he would take 10 tons of it at $10. Mr. Bradford reported the ditch on his east line had washed out a deep hollow, and when water runs through it it backs up a foot deep. He suggested that a waste gate be put in. The matter went over to be acted upon at some future time. Mr. Cargill reported that he had ordered a telephone placed in Supt. Woodward's residence. The phone in use by former Supt. Sheppard that gentlemen wishes to retain. Mr. Burdorff appeared before the board and asked the privilege of taking water out of the old farmers' ditch. There is a constantly increasing use of water in California for irrigation purposes, and the area of irrigated land is steadily being extended. We would find it difficult to exaggerate the good results which follow the use of water on our soil; by its agency our yields can be made enormous, and a crop failure impossible. This was very well illustrated during the dry season of 1898, and that drought stimulated this work and revived an interest in this question which cannot fail to be of great benefit to the State. The irrigation work which has heretofore been done in California has been mostly of a private nature, the result of individual or corporate enterprise. The wisdom of developing every available water supply, and preparing for the future more general use of irrigation, cannot be too strongly urged upon our people. In addition to what has been done and is being done in this line, there has been much discussion and some activity by parties favoring a national system of irrigation, and by another party favoring a system under the direction and control of the State. These parties contemplate large general systems, the respective merits of which we will not here discuss. A large convention, chiefly made up of the State party, met in San Francisco December 14, 1898, and provided for the organization of the "California Water and Forest Association," which wisely adopted a policy in harmony with both the State and national parties, and will work with officers of the government to promote irrigation work. We hope for good results from the work of this association. The chief factor in the development and conservation of our water supply is the protection and restoration of our forests. This is the one great point upon which all parties and factions unite, and which is worthy of the immediate attention of the government. GOOD ROADS Goods roads are of the greatest importance to the whole State, but appeal first to the farmers, whose immediate loss and inconvenience they relieve. The conditions in nearly every section of California demand better roads, built with some harmony of plan and of a permanent character. The present system of perpetual repair to dirt roads, which after great expenditure are never good, should be abandoned, and some provision be made for the construction of permanent modern highways. The subject has been much agitated during the last five years, with good results. The Department of Highways has done a good work by distributing information and directing thought to this question, and more properly graded macadamized roads are now being built in California than ever before. Judicious legislation in furtherance of this purpose would certainly be economic and desirable. IMMIGRATION The last census showed California to have a population of only 1,208,130 people, which number, owing to a variety of causes, has not been greatly increased, while our territory is easily capable of supporting in plenty a population of 10,000,000.

The last census showed California to have a population of only 1,208,130 people, which number, owing to a variety of causes, has not been greatly increased, while our territory is easily capable of supporting in plenty a population of 10,000,000. To the accomplishment of our highest development we need a considerable immigration, which, however, should not be indiscriminate. There are in California many millions of acres of State and United States government land yet unappropriated, and of railroad land yet unsold. But little of such lands are fit for any profitable agricultural use, and we do not wish to invite people here with expectation of locating or purchasing lands of this character. These lands have, however, a value, in some cases very considerable, for timber, mineral or grazing purposes. But aside from lands of this description large quantities are for sale in California. Small farms can always be purchased all over the State, while extensive tracts are equally available for large enterprises or for colonization purposes. The price of land in California is not high, and when our combined advantages of soil, climate, citizenship and social and educational opportunities are considered is more than moderate. Lands can be purchased at from $10 per acre upward. Excellent land, well located, suitable for a variety of purposes, can be had at from $25 to $50 per acre. At prices ranging from $50 to $100 per acre splendid farms can be bought, located in our most favored sections and adapted to all the uses which have made California's name a synonym for agricultural wealth. Higher prices are because of location or adaptability to a special purpose. We want and can provide for people with small capital, or laborers capable and willing to work. For the idle, the incapable, the turbulent, for the failures cast off by other communities, we have no place. The pioneer American inhabitants of California were of a high order; they were selected by circumstances for a splendid destiny. They were adventurous, ambitious, intellectual and physically strong. They left their impress on our industrial and so-pany, north of Yorba. He will bore for oil on this tract. Several Los Angeles capitalists are behind the enterprise. The contract stipulates that a well 1000 feet deep must be sunk before the end of the present year. One-eighth of all the oil produced goes to the water company, as well as all water developed on the tract. The contract carries with it also valuable money considerations, the oil people paying the water company handsomely for the leasehold. Boring operations will begin as soon as the necessary machinery can be placed upon the land. The lands in which developments will be made are understood to be possessed of exceedingly favorable indications for oil, and a strong company has been organized to begin the work. Mr. Everharty, who is an old-time resident of this city and a rustler, was in town on Tuesday, completing the terms of the transfer. He expects to be in town again today, with a company of Boston capitalists, who will be driven out to inspect the property. Fine Pumping Plant. Mr. Knapp, who recently purchased a 20-acre tract of land adjoining the Katella school on the south, has lately installed a new gasoline engine and pump plant which yields as pretty a stream of 50 inches of water as one ever saw. He will plant his place to walnut trees, with apricots between the rows. He has erected a handsome two-story residence, and is engaged in making substantial improvements which are a credit to the neighborhood. When he starts the pump the stream of water which runs in the ditches has a song to sing to the undeveloped tract which in a few years' time must produce the most harmonious results. Already considerable improvement is to be noted, and we look to see his walnut trees in the coming time adding their picturesque beauty to what is now one of the loveliest spots in Orange county. Social Club. Miss Zelma Bailey entertained the Young Folks' Social club at progressive euchre at her home on Friday evening. The first prizes were won by Mrs. Cahen and Hugo Strodthoff, the second by Mrs. Lewis and Ed Zeus, the boobies by Miss Edith Fay and Fred Lewis. Miss Edith Fay favored those present by singing several songs in her usual good voice. During the evening refreshments were served, and soon after midnight the guests took their leave. before. Mr. Rea's prize tree last year yielded 125 pounds of nuts, the year before 100, and the year before that, 75 pounds. The yield this year will go beyond that of last year. Mr. Rea puts the tree against any one in the county. The pollen blossoms are plentiful, and in many cases lie upon the ground, after fulfilling their usefulness, by the score. The nuts are large, and in many cases clusters appear to the number of a dozen. From one tree a cluster containing eighteen was taken. The trees have put out shoots and suckers 6, 8, 10 and 12 feet long. They are being pruned. In another month the orchard will be irrigated. It takes five days to ridge up the orchard, and five days to level it off after irrigating. Fifty hours are required to run the water over the tract. This is for the older orchard. For the younger orchard, containing trees five years old, the same operation is repeated. Thus it takes twenty days to prepare for irrigation the 80 acres, and for leveling it off each time water is run upon it. This is in addition to the actual time of running the water upon it. Mr. Rea believes in irrigation. The tract has been irrigated twice this season, and will be again in another month. He also believes in cultivation, scientific pruning and the other features of successful horticulture. His younger orchard covers 40 acres with superb growth. Last year the trees yielded a ton of nuts. This year they will yield several tons. In fact the entire tract will have walnuts for further orders. The orchard is indeed a lovely spot, and will well repay a visit at this time of the year, when the trees are apparently at their best. SCHOOL ELECTION. The school election occurs on Friday, June 1st, a week from tomorrow. A.H. Sheldon will be a candidate for Dr.Gardiner's place. It was announced last evening that Dr.Gardiner would probably be a candidate for re-election. L. Goepper and Jake Ross were in town from Santa Ana one day last week. Mr. Goepper is in the cigar manufacturing business, and reports a good trade. Uncle Jake says he is out of politics, and is in the celery business for a change.

The second annual picnic of the Farmers' club occurs at Durkeeville today. The special train, which will be run over the Santa Fe route, leaves the depot here at 9 o'clock, instead of 8, as previously noted. The delay is caused by other trains having the right of way at that hour. The train will pass Fullerton at 8:45, Orange at 9:15, and a stop will be made at Yorba at 9:30 for a delegation of the good people of that locality. The grounds will be reached shortly after 10. The train will stop at Rincon, where the club will have carriages to carry the picnickers to the falls in the river at Durkeeville. Here the Duke of Durkeeville, Wm. Crowther, has erected tables and seats for the barbecue, brought wood for the fires, seen that cream will be provided for the coffee, and arranged for the pits where the beeves' and sheeps' heads were baked last night. Don David Yorba, who so successfully managed the bullshead breakfast at the last annual picnic of the club at Bedrock canyon, will again be in charge of this part of the arrangements. On the Santa Fe express last night a consignment of four beeves' heads and a dozen mutton heads were shipped to him at Durkeeville. They arrived at the picnic grounds at 6:30 last night, and will be baked in the ground until noon today. Don David says these are to be the finest heads ever prepared by him, and that is saying a good deal. A. H. Cargill will be the master of ceremonies. He has secured the special train for the club, and has attended to the various other details of the picnic in a manner peculiar to himself. Mr. Cargill is the greatest picnic expert in Orange county. That the entire affair will eventuate in the highest style of the art goes without saying. Tickets have been on sale at Derge's in town, at Stern & Goodman's at Fullerton, and at Armor's at Orange. Tickets are $1 for the round trip. No extra charges. A cordial invitation is extended all tree growers and other good people generally to come along. Arrangements are making to have the Santa Ana band to accompany the excursion. Responses have been received from several out-of-town dignitaries, to the effect that they will join the party. Bring your baskets and all hands get aboard! TRUSTEES' MORAL CRUSADE. Mr. Schwenckert Camps on the Trail of the Painted Ladies—They Will Have to Vamoose the Ranch. At Tuesday evening's meeting of the City Trustees W. O. F. Schwenckert was chosen to preside, in the absence of Trustee Helmsen, who was detained at home by the serious illness of his mother. He lost no time in calling for the report of the Marshal with reference to instructions issued to him at the last meeting, to the effect that he notify the inmates of an evil abode to depart from town—to stand not upon the order of their going, as it were, but to vamoose at once. Marshal Steadman reported that, in obedience to the instructions, he had so notified the inmates of the place referred to, and they had volunteered the information that they would go on the first of the month, their rent having been paid to that time. He asked for further time in which to complete his report. Granted. The chair called for reports from the special committee appointed to interview Supervisor Potter with reference to ordering away the inmates of a gilded den of vice on Crowley avenue, outside the city limits. Trustee Weisel of the committee reported that he had had a bad cold during the week, and his olfactory nerves were not in good working order. He had therefore no report to make. Mr. Schwenckert of the same committee reported that he had endeavored to see Supervisor Potter, and had sent word to him. When he (Schwenckert) was in town, Potter happened to be at Santa Ana. When Potter returned, Schwenckert had gone home. He left word to have Potter call at his house, but this Supervisor had found it impracticable to do. Thus he had not seen him, and he asked for further time in which to complete his report. Supervisor Potter said, while in town on the day in question, that he could not understand what influence he was supposed to have with the inmates of the house referred to. He had no more power to dislodge the frisky females than anyone else. The proper course for Schwenckert to pursue, was, he said, to lodge a complaint with the District Attorney against the inmates of the house of prostitution, and punish them accordingly. Their establishment is maintained in defiance of law, and that was the way to get at it. But he failed to see wherein he himself could be use-ful "getting shut" of the place. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Jackson of Nashville, Tenn., and Mrs. Johnny Vinson of Santa Ana spent Sunday in town with friends. Charles Kuchel came over from Whittler to spend Sunday in town and see how the oil excitement is affecting the people hereaway. Mrs. Claucus and Miss Stella Sabine who have spent several weeks visiting with the family of Theo. Rimpau, left on Monday for San Diego. Jack Rogers took Sunday evening's Owl for San Francisco. He goes to the metropolis on a business mission which may keep him away from home during the present week. Supt.

ROBET MEARS,Adjt. Pretty Sights. One of the prettiest sights to be seen in Orange county is Tim Booge's vineyard in the West End. The vines have put forth a wealth of luxuriant foliage, and are rich in that coloring which denotes the thrifty vine. The tract is now at its best, so far as appearances go, and gets much favorable comment from passers-by. John Eymann's vineyard on Sycamore street is also one of the picturesque bits of landscape hereabout. His vines are very handsome specimens of verdure, and give promise of an abundant crop. Years ago Anaheim was noted for being the greenest spot in the county at this time of the year, when miles upon miles of vineyard greeted the eye on every hand. Vines are being planted quite generally again, and judging by the appearance of the Boege and Eymann vineyards, the industry will soon again be in full swing. Among old-timers the conviction is universal that nothing that is raised out of the soil pays so well in which to complete his report. Supervisor Potter said, while in town on the day in question, that he could not understand what influence he was supposed to have with the inmates of the house referred to. He had no more power to dislodge the frisky females than anyone else. The proper course for Schwenckert to pursue, was he said, to lodge a complaint with the District Attorney against the inmates of the house of prostitution, and punish them accordingly. Their establishment is maintained in defiance of law, and that was the way to get at it. But he failed to see wherein he himself could be useful in "getting shut" of the place. Mr. Schwenckert said the Trustees should leave no stone unturned to rid the city of these foul places. The inmates should be made to understand that the people do not want them, and these young fellows who fire their pistols in the outside streets at midnight ought also to be arrested and made an example of. The whole matter went over to the next meeting. H.M.Wheeler and R.G.Hillman of San Francisco, representing the Hartford steam boiler insurance, appeared before the board in reference to insuring the three boilers at the power house. The insurance expires on the 28th. The policy is for $15,000; premium,$225. The insurance was ordered renewed. Trustee Weisel made application for the purchase of the feed pump at the power house, some time ago discarded by the city. Granted. Bills to the amount of $539.54 were ordered paid. There were present at the meeting Trustees Schwenckert, Dickel, Schneider and Weisel.

He was immediately surrounded by a number of sports who envisioned him, and he had several by no means inconsiderable offers made him, but Carroll refused to sell saying he wanted to have first smoke. Next a brown leghorn rooster was given a chance to try his speed with a half dozen ladies. He sped away and ran winding in and out among the trees and bushes, dodging a lady here and there, until he nearly fainted. He saw little chance of escape with Mrs.Ries after him and surrendered to her. After the races jumping was indulged in, at which Paul Turk won. In the broad jump he cleared 19 feet, 6 inches; Joe Backs jumped 19 feet 4 inches; The high jump was also won by Turk; he jumped 5 feet 6 inches; Backs crowded him closely with 5 feet 5.

A slight cave-in at the well pit on Friday last sent the men clambering out of the hole in a hurry. The pit is 12 feet below the cement casing, and when the sand began caving the workmen tripped up the ladder to the stairway, and lost no time in getting to terra firma, leaving their tools behind them. The recently excavated portion was boarded up, and on Tuesday C. Schindler began with a force of men to brick it up. The pit will be sunk 10 feet deeper, or to a total depth of 46 feet below the surface. When it was constructed three years ago the water rose to such a height that it was impossible to deepen it to the contract depth—28 feet. Only 24 feet was reached, and even then the rising water played havoc with the contractors. It is said they lost $1200 on the job. Now the water has sunk 30 feet below its former level, and the pit has in consequence to be deepened so that the pumps may be operated successfully.
