The census of the United States which is now being taken has three purposes, namely: to ascertain the number of our people in order to furnish a basis for apportionment of Representatives in the lower House of Congress; to ascertain the number of our people, in classes, by ages, nativity, occupation, etc., and their wealth and the industries in which engaged, in order to legislate properly for them, and to furnish students with the basis for correct consideration of all subjects related to such facts. Lastly, the purpose is to ascertain the number and character of those social organizations and institutions which determine the growth of wealth, population and industrial activity. Thus the first purpose is to comply with the requirements of the Constitution; the second is to lay the foundation for study of facts related to the social conditions of our people, and the third is to ascertain the causes of the facts which inquiry will develop. Citizens will see in the process of taking the census, therefore, wise provision, and will not only throw no obstacles in the way of enumerators and marshals but will do all in their power to assist them and make their labors speedy and exhaustive of the subjects into which they are bidden to inquire. One of the lines of inquiry, namely, that which searches out in part the domestic relations of the people, is among the most important now before them. It is not intended to infringe upon family privacy, but that we may know what the birth rate is; what it has been at different periods; how many people are married; how many women are widowed, and how many men have lost wives; how many children are living and how many dead, etc. Upon accurate information on these subjects valuable conclusions are to be reached and most important deductions are to be made elements of surprise. There will be enough to show. The States belonging to the Louisiana purchase, including Oregon and Washington, supplied 300,000,000 of the 547,000,000 bushels of wheat produced in this country last season. From them during the war with Spain, came all the horses and mules and all the beef used by the government, and now England is drawing from them the greater part of wheat she needs for her campaign in South Africa. The people of St. Louis have raised $5,000,000 by voluntary subscriptions for this fair, the city of St. Louis has appropriated the same amount from its treasury, and a bill pending in Congress will, if passed, provide another $5,000,000 to be spent under direct government supervision. This is a good start, and with the patriotism and enterprise of the West and South to push the undertaking its success is assured. It is the aim of the projectors of the enterprise to make it a world's fair in the broadest sense of the term, and all the world is invited. J. F. Isbell recently showed us eight walnuts in one cluster. There are others reporting nearly as large a number, and the fact of the nuts growing in clusters seems quite general this year. From all reports the crop will be above the average.—Whittier News. Mr. Rea's bunch of 18 nuts holds the record so far. Can any one beat it? The frank and cordial treatment of the Boer envoys by the President and Secretary of State showed those gentlemen that the efforts to make it appear that the administration is prejudiced against them are unfounded. Indeed, it was quickly made apparent to them that the government had done all that it could do, for it had already tendered its good offices to bring about peace, a thing which no European nation had done. Secretary Hay made it clear to them that the administration could not do more than it already has done to bring about peace in South Africa. The United States government acted promptly when an op- that which searches out in part the domestic relations of the people, is among the most important now before them. It is not intended to infringe upon family privacy, but that we may know what the birth rate is; what it has been at different periods; how many people are married; how many women are widowed, and how many men have lost wives; how many children are living and how many dead, etc. Upon accurate information on these subjects valuable conclusions are to be reached and most important deductions are to be made, useful to all the people and largely instructive in legislation, education and in study of the social economy of the people. It is therefore sincerely hoped that all citizens will freely and fully respond to the questions on these subjects which will be propounded to them by the officers of the census bureau. On this subject an official bulletin says: From the answers to the questions it is possible to determine the birth rate, the prevalence of marriage, the proportion of women and children to the whole population, the duration and fruitfulness of marriage. So far as the power and importance of nations are dependent upon the size of the population, to that extent is the accurate determination of these questions a matter of public necessity. In the United States there would seem to be little danger of a decline in the population. But even when we are sure that the population is growing it is still necessary to know how it is growing. The millions of India are increasing, but it is by a process of many births and many deaths. In good years millions are born; in times of famine millions die, the population increasing because a few more are born than die. It is growth, but savage growth. There is a more excellent kind of progress, that resulting from the combination of a moderate birth rate and a small death rate. The marital statistics collected by the census are in many respects very interesting. Thus, the extent and power of the anti-marital forces can be estimated in a way by ascertaining the proportion of people between 55 and 64 years of age who have never been married. Census statistics show that the proportion of unmarried females between these ages is greatest in the East; in North Carolina, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, for instance; while the proportion is smallest in the West, South Dakota, Utah and Oklahoma bringing up the rear in the order named. Men, on the contrary, are far more likely to remain single in the West than in the East. The proportion of unmarried men between 55 and 64 years of age is lowest in the Southern States, e.g., Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia, and greatest in the block of Western States west of the Mississippi. In Nevada 38.2 per cent of the males between 55 and 64 have never been married, Idaho coming next with 32.4 per cent, Montana next with 29.5 per it appear that the administration is prejudiced against them are unfounded. Indeed, it was quickly made apparent to them that the government had done all that it could do, for it had already tendered its good offices to bring about peace, a thing which no European nation had done. Secretary Hay made it clear to them that the administration could not do more than it already has done to bring about peace in South Africa. The United States government acted promptly when an opportunity offered, through the appeal made to the representatives of the various nations at Pretoria, and was the only nation which did act. As its offer of mediation was then courteously declined by England, no further opportunity was afforded. Under the American administration of Porto Rico the old Spanish taxes are being gradually abolished. The consumption tax, landing and transportation charges are now done away with on petroleum, charcoal, firewood, fresh beef, veal, pork and mutton, fowls and eggs, fruits, vegetables, flour, corn meal, bread, rice, beans, salt pork, ham, bacon, fresh fish, codfish, herring, soup paste, dried beef, sugar, molasses and coffee. The Porto Ricans will now be able to take a bite without being taxed for it, and they will soon be able to enjoy the privilege of a free square meal, paying less in taxes and having more money for food. A FOGGY JUNE IS NEEDED. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for May in Southern California. The most conspicuous feature of general trade the past month has been the transition to natural range of prices for chief materials of industry to meet changed conditions after a time of extraordinary buying. The volume of business is of course that of the between season character. A large excess of merchandise exports over imports still continues, and railroad earnings returns show business offered transportation companies much in excess of a year ago. In our immediate district conditions have not changed materially since our last resume. Corn, beans and beets are doing well, but need a foggy June to help mature the crop. Hay is lower and in good supply. Oranges are moving freely for this time of the year, and Eastern lemon market is active. Citrus fruit shipments for season have reached 15,000 carloads. Outlook for lemon growers is unusually good. Summer crop promises to be a large one and of superior quality. It is predicted that prices will range high, with a quick market. The deciduous fruit crop of Southern California will be below normal, owing to condition of peach and prune trees. Jennie C.

Preparations are already well advanced on the project of celebrating in 1902 the one hundredth anniversary of the Louisiana purchase, which may be regarded as one of the half dozen most important events in the history of the United States. The event will be celebrated with an exposition at St. Louis, which, while a world's fair in the sense established at Philadelphia, Chicago and Paris, will derive its distinctive feature from exhibits illustrating the progress and prosperity of the States carved out of the semi-continental wilderness acquired by Jefferson from France 100 years ago. The people of this country know what has been accomplished in this marvelous territory, while to other nations a definite presentation of the results achieved will contain many Oranges are moving freely for this time of the year, and Eastern lemon market is active. Citrus fruit shipments for season have reached 15,000 carloads. Outlook for lemon growers is unusually good. Summer crop promises to be a large one and of superior quality. It is predicted that prices will range high, with a quick market. The deciduous fruit crop of Southern California will be below normal, owing to condition of peach and prune trees. These trees, while in many instances bearing a bountiful crop of fruit, have failed to leaf out. The crop, of course, cannot mature without foliage protection. The peach crop in most localities looks like a total failure. Apricots run very light in unirrigated districts; in irrigated districts from medium to full crops reported. Crop of raisin grapes, in spite of frost, above the average, wine grapes about average. The directors of raisin association and the packers have at last concluded a contract acceptable to both interests. Bean market is slow, but very firm. No movement in dried fruits. Canners are getting ready to begin business. It is impossible to determine how prices will run. Locally, jobbers report unusually good May business. Collections satisfactory. Real estate interest centers in oil lands. Fallures for May, nine; liabilities, $18,000; assets, $8000; for same month in 1899: thirteen; liabilities, $37,000; assets, $3,500. Cigars. L. Goepper, the Santa Ana cigar manufacturer, was in town yesterday. He reports increasing sales of his goods, and guarantees as good cigars as those made in the East. We believe in patronizing home industry, especially in tobacco. Orange county tobacco will one day be regarded as the finest in the world, and Goepper's cigars are now the superior of many Eastern brands which cost more money. New Officers.

C. H. Fuller of Los Angeles has brought suit against the Anaheim Union Water company and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company to quiet title to 80 acres of land at Durkee's. Fuller is a brother of O B. Fuller, against whom the two water companies have injunction proceedings in the Riverside court to restrain him from diverting 1000 inches of water from the river. The purpose of Fuller's suit is little understood here, except it be to harass the water companies. If that be the mission of it, it has failed of its purpose, for the two companies will go Mr. Fuller a round just to make it interesting. The Orange Post, commenting upon the suit, makes the following remarks: "In substance the complaint alleges, as cause for action, that the plaintiff, Fuller, is the owner of the S. W.$\frac{1}{2}$ of Section 50, T. 3 S., R. 7 W., S. B.M., and that he thinks the defendants have some kind of a claim on said land, he don't know exactly what. Therefore he prays the court to adjudge him the rightful owner of said land and forever enjoin the defendants from entering upon or exercising any control over it. "On its face the suit is to quiet title to the southwest quarter of section 10 and to settle an imaginary dispute over the boundary line between Fuller's property and the Durkee ranch—imaginary dispute, because the subject has never been presented to the water companies, and no one knows whether there would be disagreement or not. As nearly as can be determined from the maps accompanying the abstract of title, the Durkee ranch commences at or near the west line of section 10. If the ranch line falls outside said section, there can be no dispute; and if it laps over onto the section then the question would arise as to who had the best title to the portion of said section included in the ranch. It would thus appear to be first, a question of facts to be determined by the surveyors and records: and second, a question of adjustment in case of conflicting facts, the differences to be adjusted amicably. If possible, or, if not possible, through the courts. By bringing suit without previous conference with the water companies, Fuller assumes that the facts are in his favor Oak Grove Oil Company. The Oak Grove Oil company is the name of a corporation which has just been organized to develop oil from its lands in Ventura county. The board of directors are H. Cahen, John Hartung, P. Weisel, M. Nebelung, H.A.Dickel, Dr.F.H.Houck and H.A.Strdthoff. The company has already title to 235 acres of oil land, and an option on 320 adjoining, which is now being investigated by its expert. The land already secured is undoubtedly rich oil territory, and the evidences of that fact can be seen by the samples of oil and rock taken from the land and now on exhibition at the Citizens Bank of Anaheim. A Los Angeles paper says concerning the new company: A number of residents of Anaheim have purchased several hundred acres of oil territory in Ventura county, and will form a corporation and place Entertainment The social to be given at Campo on June 8th is the beginning a series of entertainments to be by the Fraternal Brotherhood most cordially invited to attend (Friday) night.

Such is the conclusion that appears inevitable from the surface indications. "There are, however, possibly other reasons for bringing that suit at the present time. It might be thought to prejudice the court on the water suit now pending against the companies, if they were made to appear as land grabbers. Fuller may want to impress his neighbors with his own bravery in attacking the water companies, and create the impression that such corporations would not make a decent breakfast for him. He may have some ulterior purpose against the Durkee ditch, if he could only get the court to issue a perpetual injunction against the water companies entering upon the land through which said ditch passes. But what is the use guessing at what time itself will disclose? In the meantime the two water companies can be counted on, not only to respect the rights of others, but to insist on others respecting their rights. No amount of petti-fogging can cloud the issue, and, unless the courts reverse themselves, the final shares on the market, the proceeds to be used in boring a well. The owners are enthusiastic regarding the prospects for oil. W. W. Bess of Fullerton will have charge of the drilling of the well. The company has secured an option on several hundred acres of oil territory adjoining that which they have already purchased. Among those interested in the new company are H. Cahen, John Hartung, Dr. F. H. Houck, M. Nebelung, H. A. Dickel, P. Weisel and G. Schade, all of Anaheim; Mr. Wool of Los Angeles and the Strodt-hoff brothers of Arizona. There is already an inquiry for shares in the corporation. Samples of oil sand and oil seepage taken from the company's land can be seen at the Citizens' bank of Anaheim. Experts who have seen these samples declare them to be very superior. Bismarck's Iron Nerve Was the result of his splendid health.

It is a well known fact among oil experts that the surface indications of the Bakersfield territory are less than in any other known field, yet on our property the surface indications are such that Mr. Orlando Barton, a well-known expert in California, makes this statement in regard to our property—S. ¼ of the S. E. ¼ Sec. 24, T. 28, R. 28: "The evidences of oil are better on this property than at any other place in the Kern river district. The oil in the yielding wells of this district is a heavy seepage oil and exists in the secondary sand. The oil in S. E. ¼ Sec. 24 is in the original sand, and when reached will be found to be an oil of light specific gravity. Flowing wells will result. From a careful examination of this quarter section it is my opinion that oil exists on it in larger quantities than on any other section where oil has been discovered in this township and range." EXPERT THEORY PROVED. We have not called upon the public to assist us in prospecting our land, but after careful investigation and thorough demonstration, we are enabled to show to the public that we have as good, if not better, territory than any in the Bakersfield district. In order to prove the theory of our expert, we sunk a small prospect hole to the depth of 300 feet, and fully demonstrated by the formations and oil sands encountered that the theory of Mr. Barton was correct. WHAT WE OFFER YOU. We absolutely own 80 acres of land, upon which we have demonstrated beyond a doubt oil can be developed. We have a standard rig upon the land ready to commence operations; all the casing necessary for Well No. 1; tanks; buildings, and all the accessories necessary for a complete outfit. With the low capitalization and the valuable territory it is not stepping beyond the threshold of reason when we predict that within sixty days our stock will be at or beyond par. With twelve wells producing on the average of 40 barrels per day, with oil at the extremely low figure of 50c net per barrel at the wells, will pay the investor 20 per cent on land valued at $2500 per acre.
