ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1900. WATER THE NATION'S HOPE. What Mr. Maxwell Says the People Must Do to Reclaim Their Arid Lands. George H. Maxwell, executive chairman of the National Irrigation association, has been lecturing in the Northwest upon the ever interesting subject of the reclamation of arid lands. If one were to ask every man he meets, he said, What should be done with the waste waters of the West? ninety-nine out of a hundred would say they didn't know. But the light is rapidly spreading, and the people are coming to a realization of what is before them. Irrigation today is not only one of the greatest questions before the people, it is by all odds the greatest, and the people are going to solve it as they solve every other great question. The land problem is the underlying basis of all problems of social economy. Macaulay said that the republican institutions of this country would endure so long as there is an outlet for the surplus population on the land; but that when the outlet is stopped and the cities become overcrowded then the republican institutions will begin to crumble and fall. The speaker did not subscribe to this prophecy. The American people had grappled with great questions before and they had solved them; they are solving them today, and they would solve this problem. The fact that about all the land where irrigation is not needed has been taken up and converted into farms is not a cause for alarm. There are millions upon millions of acres of rich and fertile land in the United States which awaits but the magic touch of water to make it blossom and bloom even as does the richest land of the Mississippi valley. The people own two-thirds of the entire Western half of the United States. What is it worth? What are its capabilities? What will it accomplish and do? The government owns land in Montana and Idaho, exclusive of that under private ownership, exceeds the entire area of France. Yet France supports a population of 35,000,000 people. The same number could erect and maintain homes in this region in these two States alone. He sounded a note of warning against the danger of water monopolies. When canals and reservoirs and irrigation works are built by private enterprise, as they are to a considerable extent, the owners of the land should organize landowners' co-operative canal companies and sell shares of the stock to farmers. He said that it was the experience of the whole West that companies that sold water rights were not successful; but that farmers' canal companies, where the men who owned the land they irrigated also owned the water system, had been everywhere successful. He said that the constitution of Montana, as far as it went, was all right. Under it the use of water appropriated for sale, rental or distribution was a public use. But he urged the adoption of an amendment to the Montana constitution declaring that the right to the use of water for irrigation should vest in the user and become appurtenant to the land irrigated, the theory being that the water necessary to irrigate an acre of land shall belong to the acre of land itself. The speaker deprecated any system under which water could be owned as a speculative commodity by canal companies to be sold to farmers. He said that such companies stand toward the farmers who buy or rent the water in the relationship of landlord and tenant and the Anglo-Saxon makes a mighty poor tenant. His concluding remarks were devoted to an appeal for unity of purpose and organization for the furtherance of the plans he had outlined during the course of his address. He paid a high tribute to the industrial school system, and maintained that every county in every State should be equipped with at industrial school, where every boy could be trained to know how to get his living from the land. One boy out of every thousand gets to the university, the other 999 fall by the wayside. They had one industrial school at Pasadena, said he, where a boy learns everything to qualify him for the battle of life. A boy who goes through that school comes out of it pealed to Captain Wilde, who told Japs that they could not have breech blocks, because the ship under American protection, and he was responsible. The Chie wanted us to take the ship, but the tain told them that the flag at their was enough. An English war that had been searching for the Crown after her absence at Taku been discovered, now came up when he heard what Captain Wildo done with the Japs he said that it just what he would have done had it to do. "The Japs and English and Rusk all helped us. The Chinese cruiser she was a fine ship just out of the in England—sent aboard 150 men four hours to keep the ship clean water, and the others gave us all men they could spare. The Orc will have to be sent home to be paired. She has a hole in her side. just abaft the bill board, above or 27 feet long. They are going to this side. The last I saw on Chinaman he was steaming away cruise in the inland sea, with the and Stripes still at his peak. The understanding. He was too away from Taku, and if he went was to place himself under the rule of American naval command." THE CROP SITUATION IS GOOD. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review Trade Conditions for July in Southern California. General trade conditions throw on country still favor the buyer demand is below that of a year but there is confidence that order increase as season advances. That the downward swing in price reached makes the seller cautious inclined to hold commodities situation on the whole is better. Clearings for July are the low two years, but gross earnings for roads show gain. Home money maze are easy and foreign commerce another heavy balance in our fa- The fact that about all the land where irrigation is not needed has been taken up and converted into farms is not a cause for alarm. There are millions upon millions of acres of rich and fertile land in the United States which awaits but the magic touch of water to make it blossom and bloom even as does the richest land of the Mississippi valley. The people own two-thirds of the entire Western half of the United States. What is it worth? What are its capabilities? What will it accomplish and do? The government owns 100,000,000 acres of land which is capable of reclamation by irrigation. The government land alone in the Western territory is enough to support a population greater than the entire population of the United States at this time if all its resources were fully developed, and all the irrigable land irrigated. If the flood waters that now go to waste and carry destruction with them as they go, were stored in reservoirs and used as they are required for the reclamation of land, the great "unwatered empire of the West" would, within a few years, afford homes, and comfortable homes, for ten times its present population. New opportunities must be created, not only for those who are to come after us. What is to become of our boys? That is the question. It rests upon the people of today to provide them with the same chances that they themselves had. It is their duty to give them everything that American citizenship implies. The only way this duty can be discharged is by opening up to this coming generation the lands of the West, just as the lands of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys were opened to those who came before. In these regions, however, the opportunities were at hand for every man who had no capital but his industry, to go out upon the rich prairies and take up a farm on government land, and build a home with his own labor. Only the strong arm of industry was required. It is not so in the West today. The individual man is powerless in the great desert. He is hopeless alone. He is unequipped to cope with the difficulties that beset him at the very beginning as he is to wash away with a wave of his hand the mountains which surround Anaconda. The fundamental proposition is that the Federal government must furnish the capital necessary to reclaim these deserts and open up these arid lands to settlers and home-builders. The Federal government must build these great reservoirs and irrigation works; it must bring the water on the land, so that when the home-builder puts his plow in the ground the water will follow the furrow. Every one knows that the Federal government is spending millions upon millions every year for the construction of great levees on the Mississippi. It has lined the rivers for hundreds of miles with the great embankments, is building reservoirs at the headwaters of the Mississippi and on the Ohio for the purpose of holding back the flood of waters so that the lower country shall not be inundated and its property destroyed.

He can build a house, or he can sink an artesian well, he can put up a pump; in fact, he can do anything and everything that it is necessary for him to do to make a home and a living. The girls learn to cook and to keep house. SMALL FREIGHTERS. A Special Agent from Washington Investigating Whether they Respect War-Revenue Act. Trouble seems to be brewing for the common carriers of freight and packages. There are a number of people who prefer to have their merchandise and packages forwarded to them by wagons rather than by railroads. In every community there are people who want little to do with the railroad as possible. These mostly are the class of people who once or twice each week have their goods forwarded by express wagons, the owners of which make it a business to go to Los Angeles and collect the purchases of their townsfolk. Instead of returning to the town with an empty wagon, they fill it up with these purchases and charge freight rates upon it. According to law these expresses are common carriers, and as such the War-Revenue act affects them. The law passed by Congress in 1898 provides that every common carrier or bill of lading upon the receipt of the package, and that there shall be theron a 1-cent revenue stamp. The suburban expresses have not, as a rule, been issuing the bill of lading as the saw requires, and in the second place they have not been stamped. A special agent has been out this way from Washington, and he has decided to make it interesting for those expressmen or common carriers who do not step up and do their mite toward the support ofthe government. The names of all such carriers have been secured from the surrounding cities and towns, and it was a surprisingly large list, too. Now the expressmen who have not issued bills of lading, and the government officials have the names of most, if not all of them, will have to get a sworn statement ofthe shipments they have received without stamps andthe bills of lading they have issued without properly being stamped sincethe law went into effect. This should have been done last week—that is,the sworn reports must have been inthe officeofthe internal revenue collector inthe Bullard block beforethe hourof closing on Aug. 10. Those who did not get such a listinwillbe reportedtotheUnitedStatesgrandjury,andthatbodywilldecideupontheprobableguiltorinnocenceoftheparties.Ig General trade conditions throughoutthe country still favorthebuyerdemandis belowthatofayearbutthereisconfidencethatorderincreaseasseasonadvancesthatthedownwardswinginprinceachedmakesthesellercautiousinclinedtoholdcommodities.situationonthewholeisbetter.clearingsforJulyarethelowtwoyears,butgrossearningsforroadsshowgain.Homemoneymanyareeasyandforeigncommerceanotherheavybalanceinourfashion.Thecitrusgrowershavehadningthisyear.Bothearlyandangueshavebeenprofitable.Most17,000carloadsofcitrusfruitsbeen shippedtodateandstillforward.Theorangeseasonatendatentend.Thesummercropofleargeandlargeandinfinecondition.Termindisactiveandgrowersreceiveketat$2.50to$3perboxf.o.b.

The Federal government must build these great reservoirs and irrigation works; it must bring the water on the land, so that when the home-builder puts his plow in the ground the water will follow the furrow. Every one knows that the Federal government is spending millions upon millions every year for the construction of great levees on the Mississippi. It has lined the rivers for hundreds of miles with the great embankments, is building reservoirs at the headwaters of the Mississippi and on the Ohio for the purpose of holding back the flood of waters so that the lower country shall not be inundated and its property destroyed. If this money were spent in building dams in the mountains and foothills and in great depressions and basins on the bench lands where natural opportunities are presented for the construction of dams, the vast flood of waters would be held back, and could be used later for irrigation upon prosperous farms, instead of carrying death and destruction to whole communities on the lowlands as they now do all along the Missouri and Mississippi from Sioux City to the Gulf. He quoted statistics to show that when the census of 1890 was taken with only 1.01 per cent of the area of California irrigated, that portion produced more in farm products than the entire value of the mineral output. In Colorado the situation was the same. In that State only 1.30 per cent of the area was irrigated, and its products exceeded in value the sum total of the whole mineral output. The area of public BATTLESHIP OREGON Although Lying on the Rocks, She Clears for Action Against a Chinese Cruiser. A discharged sailor from the battle-ship Oregon, who was on her when she struck on the rocks in Chinese waters, tells a story of how that famous vessel captured a Chinese cruiser while she was lying disabled. His name is Wilson. He was a gunner's mate, and was on the Concord at the battle of Manila. "We had not been on the rocks three days," he says, "when a big modern cruiser, flying the Chinese flag, hove in sight and bore down on us. The Russians were chasing her, and as she came up to us she broke out an American flag at her fore peak. We had cleared by this time, and signalled to her to send aboard and explain. An officer soon pulled away from her side and explained that they were out of Taku. They had obtained permission to change their anchorage, and under this pretext, with everything in readiness, they had slipped out to sea. They claimed the protection of America from Captain Wilde, and he gave it to them. Pretty soon a Japanese war vessel came up, in company with a Russian, and her captain sent a detail aboard the Chinaman, with a demand that the breach blocks of her guns be turned over to them. The Chinaman refused and ap- Locally trade is ahead of law most lines and little complaint. Money is plentiful and moderate demand.

Initial Visit of the Government Inspector of Rural Free Delivery — Anaheim in Line for Two Routes. Major John B. Jeffrey arrived in Anaheim on Saturday morning and during the greater part of the day was in conference with the Citizens' committee relative to the establishment of two rural free delivery routes at this point. The boundaries of the proposed routes were closely inspected, and were approved by him as originally laid out. Many questions were asked relative to the details of the work, and satisfactory answers in each case given. Thus, if a subscriber looking for a letter to which he expects, say, to telegraph an answer, should fail to receive it by the carrier, he has the privilege of going to the postoffice and calling for it on the arrival of the next mail. In other words, the possession of a box in the rural free delivery does not deprive subscribers of the right to call at the postoffice for mail during office hours, at any time after the departure of the carrier. Major Jeffrey was driven over the route, and expressed satisfaction not only at the appearance of the country, but at the number of signatures upon the lists asking for the establishment of rural free delivery. He was entertained at dinner by J. B. Neff at his residence southwest of town. In the afternoon he was driven to Fullerton, where he went to make final arrangements for the beginning of rural free delivery the 15th (yesterday). He returned to Los Angeles on the evening Santa Fe train. Major Jeffrey noted carefully what had been done for rural free delivery at this point, and approved of the same. He is expected to return in a few days to complete the details of the work. Each patron served will be furnished with a mail box provided with a lock and key in which he will deposit any Newport it was found that she was a steel ship and keel fitted on that account to resist small-arm fire. While waiting for instructions from Manila the Newport met with an accident, blowing out one of her cylinder heads. She was costing the government $1,000 per day, perhaps entailing the necessity of going to Manila or Hongkong for repairs. At this juncture Captain Jeffrey conferred with the chief engineer, Mr. Dixon, of the Newport, and they went on shore together, incurring the danger due to the hostile feeling of the insurgents. They obtained some steel plate, rivetted it on the cylinder head, so that the Newport was able to make her homeward trip without loss to the government. "A few days later, while Captain Jeffrey was in a machine shop attending to some repair for the Samar, the native soldiers took possession of his steam launch in the river. Captain Jeffery had been informed by a friendly Filipino that it was not safe for him to be seen on the water front that night, but with his small party went off from the rear of the shop, and in a little rowboat reached the Samar in safety. "It was Captain Jeffrey who hoisted the Stars and Stripes over the Spanish bank at Hoilo at the time of the landing, and established a hospital there; and with a handful of soldiers cut off from their command, when the regiment pushed through the burning city, saved from fire property valued at $1,000,000, as per a list furnished by Senor Esteban de la Rama, a wealthy Filipino, who gives Captain Jeffrey the credit, in a letter written to me, of saving his property from being looted and from being destroyed by fire. Captain Jeffrey then landed commissary and quartermaster supplies for the army and saved the army from a water famine which confronted it when the city was burned. "I wish to say that when there was any hazardous or important duty to be done he showed marked executive ability, promptness and readiness in executing my orders." No higher tribute could be earned by an officer than that, and Congress will undoubtedly pass the bill honoring Major Jeffrey as he so richly deserves. GREAT GOLD HOARD. General trade conditions throughout country still favor the buyer. Fall and is below that of a year ago, there is confidence that orders will cease as season advances. Belief at the downward swing in prices is matched makes the seller cautious and desired to hold commodities. Cropation on the whole is better. Bank earnings for July are the lowest for years, but gross earnings for railways show gain. Home money markets are easy and foreign commerce shows either heavy balance in our favor. The citrus growers have had an ing this year. Both early and late orders have been profitable. More than 1000 carloads of citrus fruits have been shipped to date and are still going forward. The orange season is about end. The summer crop of lemons is large and in fine condition. The demand is active and growers readily market at $2.50 to $3 per box f. o. b. Scarcity of deciduous fruit in South California for shipment causes lack interest in this industry. Never before has this section fared so badly. Teaches and prunes have not yielded efficiently to supply local demand. Nursers have been obliged to import from northern part of State. Apricots little only yielding a half crop were the hope of the deciduous fruit grower, but the immense crop of this fruit in northern part of State set an unusually low market price. The sugar campaign will begin at Knox September 15th. Harvesting will begin two or three days earlier. The Chino crop will be sent to Oxnard, while crop there is in good condition is not large enough to warrant running factory. Honey crop will be larger than estimated earlier in season. Late rains came just in time to save the bee men of San Diego county. The honey crop that county is the best in quantity and quality for five years. They estimate 400 tons of extracted honey. Walnut crop promises well and is of good quality. While not a full crop, based on bearing capacity of trees, it will be larger than previous crops owing to increased number of trees inearing. Output estimated at 500 carloads. No price will be made until middle of September. Grapes ripened early this year. As net price to wine maker has not been met, but growers hope to be able to place it at $12.50 a ton minimum. There is a shortage in raisin crop reported, owing to damage to vines from feed spider. Locally trade is ahead of last year in most lines and little complaint is heard. Money is plentiful and cheap, with moderate demand. There were 18 failures during the month with liabilities of $110,000, assets $9,000. This disproportionate condition was occasioned by a $80,000 fruit failure with merely nominal assets, Los Angeles, Cal., August 9, 1900. Fabulous Profits. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Wall street is simply agnostat at the fabulous profits of the Standard Oil company. The declaration yesterday of a dividend of $8 a share on the $97,500,000 outstanding shares of the king of corporations which B. Neff at his residence southwest of town. In the afternoon he was driven to Fullerton, where he went to make final arrangements for the beginning of rural free delivery the 15th (yesterday). He returned to Los Angeles on the evening Santa Fe train. Major Jeffrey noted carefully what had been done for rural free delivery at this point, and approved of the same. He is expected to return in a few days to complete the details of the work. Each patron served will be furnished with a mail box provided with a lock and key in which he will deposit any mail to be sent to the office, and in which the carrier deposits the mail on his rounds. The style of box is regulated by the department and the particular one designated carries two flags, one of which is lifted whenever mail is deposited for the carrier to pick up, and the other one operating whenever the carrier deposits mail. The boxes are set on a substantial post by the roadway, in order that the carrier may lose no time in making his rounds. The cost of these boxes is $3.50. This is the only expense of the free delivery system. Parties living on the line of the route traversed by the carrier may be served by placing a box at the most convenient point along the line taken by the carrier. The administration is encouraging the establishment of free delivery routes, wherever the conditions are favorable for their self support, and as this community is one well adapted to the service, the system will doubtless be ordered here in the near future. Congressman Needham is taking great interest in the matter also, and is using his influence in our behalf. Major Jeffrey made warm friends here of all with whom he came in contact, the citizens' committee who came in closest touch with him being loudest in their praise of him as an official and a man. Major Jeffrey has a distinguished record. For many years he was editor of the Chicago Evening Journal, and later established a large printing house in that city. When President McKinley was inaugurated Major Jeffrey was slated for the position of public printer. Instead of receiving that appointment, however, he was tendered a position as commissioner to the Paris Exposition. Before his commission was made out the war with Spain broke out and President McKinley commissioned him a captain in the quartermaster's department. Major Jeffrey had charge of the depot stores at Camp Merritt and the Presidio during the assembling of the volunteer troops at San Francisco, and went to the Philippines as quartermaster on the staff of General M. P. Miller. His services in the Philippines were so distinguished that a bill has been introduced and is now pending in Congress transferring him from the volunteer to the regular establishment, and retiring him with the rank of major. His services in the Philippines, and particularly in Iloilo, are summed up in the flattering report of General Miller, which is embodied in the bill for his promotion and retirement. In General Miller's report he tells how Major Jeffrey, by clever stratagem, captured a Spanish vessel, the Samar, right under the guns of a Spanish gunboat and fort. The owner of Captain Jeffrey then landed commissary and quartermaster supplies for the army and saved the army from a water famine which confronted it when the city was burned. "I wish to say that when there was any hazardous or important duty to be done he showed marked executive ability, promptness and readiness in executing my orders." No higher tribute could be earned by an officer than that, and Congress will undoubtedly pass the bill honoring Major Jeffrey as he so richly deserves. GREAT GOLD HOARD. Is Held By The United States Treasury-A Remarkable Contrast. CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Deposits of new gold in the mints amounted to nearly $18,000,000 in the month of July. No wonder we export some when our stock increases at that rate. The new currency law also influences the outward movement by the increase which it has occasioned in bank circulation. Bank notes secured by government bonds are substituted for gold in our circulation, and permit the loan or investment of so much gold abroad. George E. Roberts, director of the mint, gave out his encouraging statement today at Republican national headquarters, where he visited for several hours. He expressed himself as well satisfied with the present financial system of the country and predicted more hopeful things under continued Republican rule. "There is a remarkable contrast between the financial situation now and in August, 1896," continued Mr. Roberts. "You could not borrow money then even on real estate. Gold was practically at a premium. It was a part of the Bryan argument that gold was not a part of our available monetary stock; that we could not keep it in this country except by borrowing it over and over from London. I heard Senator Allen of Nebraska say in a speech in the 1896 campaign that if McKinley were elected there would be another bond issue within sixty days to replenish the treasury, and that bond issues would be necessary at short intervals if the gold standard were to be maintained. "But instead of our being obliged to borrow gold in England, England is borrowing it of us. Bonds and exchequer notes of the English government are sent, here to obtain it. The Russian government has placed one loan in this country within the last year, and had an agent here recently to see about another. The bonds of the imperial government and of several of the municipalities of Germany are on sale here now. The United States has become a world power financially as well as politically in the last four years. Its treasury, instead of being the subject of solicitude, has the greatest gold hoard in world today. These are some of the contrasts of four years." Dollar Wheat In Sight. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-That we will have dollar wheat before the end of the year, is the confident prediction of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. The secretary has been making a careful study of the domestic and Locally trade is ahead of last year in most lines and little complaint is heard. Money is plentiful and cheap, with moderate demand. There were 18 failures during the month with liabilities of $110,000, assets, $9,000. This disproportionate condition was occasioned by a $80,000 fruit failure with merely nominal assets. Los Angeles, Cal., August 9, 1900. Fabulous Profits. New York, Aug. 8.—Wall street is simply aghast at the fabulous profits of the Standard Oil company. The declaration yesterday of a dividend of $8 a share on the $97,500,000 outstanding stock of the king of corporations, which means 38 per cent in dividends so far this year, has set the financial interests of the world talking. March 15 the company declared a dividend of $20 a share, or about $70,000,000, which was probably the largest interest disbursement ever made by a corporation in this country. This dividend was followed, June 15, by a payment of $10 a share, and now comes an additional $8 per share. Thus, $38,000,000, or about that amount, is required for the payment of the three dividends. Further dividend declarations are expected this year, and it is predicted that the total interest disbursement will be in the neighborhood of $48,000,000. From 1882 to 1891 the company paid dividends at 54 per cent, or $47,250,090; from 1891 to 1895 dividends at 12 per cent, or $48,000,000; in 1896 dividends at 31 per cent, or $31,000,000; in 1897 dividends at 33 per cent, or $33,000,000; 1898 dividends at 30 per cent, $30,000; 1899 dividends at 33 per cent, $33,000; 1900 dividends at 48 per cent, or $48,000,000.
