A man who had experience in Alaska was listening to a group of citizens discussing the weather and broke in on the talk thus: "Pshaw, you fellows don't know what changeable weather is. You think it's always cold in Alaska, do you? Well, just let me tell you a little personal experience of mine. One day I went hunting with a party of miners. The weather was quite warm when we started, and I perspired freely. Suddenly it turned bitterly cold, and large leeches formed on my whiskers (I had grown a full beard). Crossing a small canyon, I came face to face with a big, ugly looking bear. I had nothing but powder in my gun, and the man with the cartridges was away behind me, so as a desperate resort I rammed the leeches from my beard into the gun and blazed away." "And what happened?" said one of the crowd eagerly. "Why, I struck him squarely in the head and killed him." "Killed him? Impossible!" chorused the crowd. "But it did, I tell you. The temperature suddenly turned warm again, melting the leeches, and the bear died from water on the brain." — Detroit Free Press. Bangerous Factories. Not far from the heart of New York city is a factory for the manufacture of deadly poisons in quantities large enough to annihilate the entire population of New York. The factory is so guarded that even its next door neighbors need have no fear of it, but the possibilities stored there excite the imagination. No one may enter it without a special permit. The employees are all skilled men, well aware of the danger of the slightest carelessness. They manufacture among other things, pure anhydrous acid, which is so dangerous that in its pure state it is not placed in the market. There is instant death in its fumes if they are permitted to escape. Nitric acid is stored in another part of the factory in big glass carboys. The men who work in this factory realize that a broken carboy of nitric acid would mean a disaster, and they treat it with the respect which it deserves. This factory and others like it are guarded more carefully than a safety deposit vault.—New York Sun. When Bathing Was Rare. In some old court memoirs of the eighteenth century which have recently been called again to attention it is stated that when George IV was a baby he was bathed only once a fortnight. That was thought to be plenty often enough in those days for a child to be washed. When one of George's little sisters had measles, the royal mother gave most careful instructions that the child's illness was not to be J.M.

In some old court memoirs of the eighteenth century which have recently been called again to attention it is stated that when George IV was a baby he was bathed only once a fortnight. That was thought to be plenty often enough in those days for a child to be washed. When one of George's little sisters had measles, the royal mother gave most careful instructions that the child's linen was not to be changed too soon, as she feared that some careless attendant would clothe it in garments insufficiently aired and so "drive in the rash." In those days people were much afraid of clean linen and bathing. It was believed the complete bodily ablutions were weakening, yet prince, peer and peasant alike called in at every aliment the doctors of the period who bled them into a state of weakness and sometimes death. Always Took Food Before Pleading. Dr. Brunton, one of the most famous physicians of London, tells of a patient of his who was a noted barrister and who always took a full dose of cod liver oil before pleading a case. This barrister did not believe in stimulants and never used them while engaged in mental labor. Yet he always took his dose of cod liver oil because he said it rendered his mind much more active. Without doubt cod liver oil is a most remarkable food, especially when partly digested as it is in Scott's Emulsion. It certainly strenghtens the memory and feeds and builds up the whole nervous system to a most remarkable degree. LET US REMOVE THE DOUBT In your mind as to what plano to buy.

BIRKEL, aug2 1050 FOURTH ST., SAN DIEGO, CA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27. 1900. STATE FORESTS AND WATER. Laying the Foundation for a Greater and Better California—Save the Forests. Store the Flood Waters. Only one year old is the California Water and Forest Association, yet in this existence of a twelve month enough has been actually accomplished to place it in the foremost rank of those organizations which are engaged in the laudable undertaking of building for the future of the Great West. The first annual meeting of the Association was held in the Maple Room of the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on Thursday and Friday, December 13th and 14th, 1900. At the opening session, Thursday afternoon, the feature of special interest was the annual report of President William Thomas. That report included a most comprehensive and interesting review of the year's accomplishments, the most notable of which was the raising of $10,270 by private subscription among the bankers and representative citizens of San Francisco for the purpose of creating a fund to be used in co-operation with the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in scientific work on the streams and water courses of the State, such as discovering reservoir sites, gauging the summer flow of streams, and collecting data concerning the actual working of our present water laws. Subsequently, this partnership between the Association and the General Government was enlarged to take in the Engineering Departments of the two great Universities of the State, and, working as they did under the direction of the Federal Government, the Engineers were enabled to secrea a vast amount of invaluable information. In all this work the State of California contributed not one dollar and in his report the President said: "All other States bear the expense of conserving the waters and protecting the 624 acre-feet could be obtained from Kings river and Stony and Cache creeks and made available for irrigation purposes at an average cost of $8.03 per acre-foot. Deducting for the cost of construction, it is believed that this would result in a direct increase in land values of irrigated areas of fully $20,000,000. On recommendation of the committee on by-laws—Arthur R. Briggs chairman—it was decided to reduce the executive committee from 28 to 9 and the advisory council from 70 to 23. Twenty members will hereafter constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Membership dues will be $1 annually, and life memberships, which exempt from all dues, will be issued on payment of $10. Annual meetings will hereafter be held on the second Thursday in December. President Thomas, Secretary Friedlarlier and Treasurer Dohrmann were unanimously re-elected for the ensuing year. Mr. Thomas responded to numerous calls for a speech in a few well-chosen words, thanking the association for the high honor conferred. The other officers for 1901 are as follows: Vice-presidents, N. P. Chipman, Red Bluff; L. A. Nares, Fresno; J. Ross Clark, Los Angeles; advisory councill—John D. Works, Los Angeles; Henj Ide Wheeler, Berkeley; Raleigh Barcar, Vagaville; W. E. Smythe, Standish; T. J. Field, Monterey; C. M. Belshaw, Antioch; Fred Eaton, Los Angeles; E. F. Adams, Wrights; Will S Green, Colusa; C. W. Thomas, Woodland; C. D. Marx, Palo Alto; Frank Soule, Berkeley; W. S. Melick, Pasadena; executive committee—W. H. Beatty; Sacramento; Timothy Hopkins and Frank J. Symmes, San Francisco; Arthur R. Briggs, Fresno; E. B. Willis, Sacramento, and A. J. Pillsbury, Tulare. The president, secretary, treasurer and vice-presidents were made ex-officio members of the executive committee. PICTURESQUE MAZATLAN. Southern California Should Cultivate Closer Relations With the Rich Country Beyond our Southern Border. MAZATLAN, Mexico, Nov. 26, 1900. EDITOR GAZETTE: — Will try and reach my old friends through the medium of the GAZETTE, for, as we move to Anaheim in April, 1876, and, with the exception of the period from the spring of 1882 to January, 1889, live there ever since, there are very many in and around Anaheim that we remember as very dear friends. After a remarkably pleasant voyage on the Curacoa we reached this city-Mazatlan—from San Francisco in several days. The Curacoa is a very popular boat, and carried about all the passengers she could hold. Her officers, from Captain C. D. Parsons, Mate Paulson Clerk Bird, Purser Cambell and Stewart Saunders, in fact everyone connected with the boat, vied with each other in making each passenger feel at if they were worthy of politeness kindly attention and of having their wants and comforts looked after and provided for. The table service was excellent, the food above criticism Those traveling between these ports will make no mistake by securing their berths on board the steamer Curacoa. Dr. Lloyd C. Bailey came out in this consul's boat, and there was a joyful meeting with his family. It is very difficult to give a good idea of a city and people like Mazatlan in short a time; more especially when one does not understand the language. The entrance to the harbor is very pretty. Small islands dot the surrounding waters, some of them rocky; some green and beautiful, with different kinds of wood; mostly palms and cocoamats; in full fruitage; all spruce in full view and forming the most beautiful panorama we have ever seen. Mazatlan is a very important con Killed the Bear. He had experience in Alaska to a group of citizens disheath and broke in on you fellows don't know what weather is. You think it's in Alaska, do you? Well, tell you a little personal examination. One day I went into a party of miners. The sun was quite warm when we perspired freely. Sunned bitterly cold, and large on my whiskers (I had beard). Crossing a small face to face with a big bear. I had nothing but gun, and the man with us was away behind me, so state resort I rammed the army beard into the gun and."

Bathing Was Rare. Old court memoirs of the century which have recently led again to attention it is when George IV was a was bathed only once a fortress was thought to be plenty high in those days for a child. When one of George's sons had measles, the royal most careful instructions linen was not to be streams, and collecting data concerning the actual working of our present water laws. Subsequently, this partnership between the Association and the General Government was enlarged to take in the Engineering Departments of the two great Universities of the State, and working as they did under the direction of the Federal Government, the Engineers were enabled to secrere a vast amount of invaluable information. In all this work the State of California contributed not one dollar and in his report the President said: "All other States bear the expense of conserving the waters and protecting the forests, and this State should do the same. We will ask the coming Legislature for aid, and we are assured that the Federal Government will allow $55,000 a year to the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Department of Agriculture for this State if our Legislature will vote a similar sum." During the convention J. B. Lippincott, of the U.S. Geological Survey, read a dispatch from his chief at Washington which stated that this partnership arrangement was entirely satisfactory to the General Government and that its terms would be faithfully carried out. The dispatch was received with enthusiasm. Special reference was made to the splendid increase in the membership during the year—from 72 to 4771. The roll now includes representative citizens in 158 towns, cities and hamlets from San Diego to Shasta and from Truckee to the Pacific. The list includes all the State officers save one, Chief-Justice Beatty and a majority of the members of the Supreme Court, 20 Superior Judges, over 100 Supervisors, 43 legislators, both U.S. Senators and 4 Congressmen, 253 bankers, 38 Mayors and 22 Presidents of Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade. In closing, President Thomas spoke of the grand future of the Association and stated that he believed the next annual meeting would show a membership of at least 10,000. He was frequently interrupted by applause. Treasurer F. W. Dohrmann followed with the financial statement for the year showing total receipts of $18,080.80, and a balance on hand of $460.34. Secretary T. C. Friendlander then read an inspiraling letter from Elwood Mead, Expert in Charge of Irrigation Investigations of the Department of Agriculture, in which Prof. Mead laid particular stress upon the necessity of constructing an entirely new irrigation code from the ground up, rather than attempting to patch up our present illogical water laws. Prof. Mead closed as follows: "The Secretary of Agriculture has recommended an increase of our appropriation to $75,000, and has seen fit in his report to commend highly the work of your association, as well as to express his interest in the result of our investigation." Judge John D. Works of Los Angeles presented the report of the executive committee, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. Lippincott, by special request, then gave a most interesting summary of the scientific work accomplished Dr. Lloyd C. Bailey came out in his consul's boat, and there was a joyful meeting with his family. It is very difficult to give a good idea of a city and people like Mazatlan in short time; more especially when one does not understand the language. The entrance to the harbor is very pretty. Small islands dot the surrounding waters, some of them rocky; some green and beautiful; with different kinds of wood, mostly palms and cocoanuts, in full fruitage; all spread in full view and forming the most beautiful panorama we have ever seen. Mazatlan is a very important commercial point. There are many cantile establishments, carrying stock large and of great value, enough do honor to cities of two or three times its size. It is the distribution point for an immense mining territory Here are some of the richest mines this State and the State of Sinaloa considered the best mining section in Mexico. It seems to me our Pacific coast people, particularly San Francisco and San Diego, would find it well their time and money to cultivate closer, more friendly commercial intercourse with this people, but it seems that Germany has the whole business about corraled. The American colony is not large but we have seldom met a more friendly and whole-souled set of people anywhere. The American consort Mr. Kaiser, and his very estimated family, take pride and great pleasure in making every American or other visitor at home, and are ever ready extend the hand of friendship or aistance to any one and every one need it. When the railroad coming this way from the Gulf coast (it is completed)the city of Durango) reaches Mazatlan it will make the latter the Pacific town minus of the shortest land haul possible from this coast to the Gulf Mexico. But my folks say that this is about big a dose as it is lawful for me to be minister at once, and as I am inclined to think so, I will bring it to a close If this is acceptable and don't find any way to the waste basket, I will try do better next time. Very truly. G. H. B. Race Track Sold. The Santa Ana race track was set on Friday at Sheriff's sale, under for closure of mortgage by the First National Bank. The purchaser was Josie Teague, who bid in the property George Ford, his son-in-saw, the figure being $5000. Only one other bid made by George W. Miner, who paid $4000. The offer was quickly raised $1000 by Teague. The property owned by the Orange County Fair institution, which was organized in 1818 and the price paid for the grounds al- at the time of purchase was $75. Since then, thousands of dollars have been expended in buildings, fences, other improvements.

Judge John D. Works of Los Angeles presented the report of the executive committee, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. Lippincott, by special request, then gave a most interesting summary of the scientific work accomplished during the past year. Observations of daily discharge are now being made on the Sacramento river at Red Bluff, the Stanislaus river at Oakdale, the Salinas river near Salinas, the Tuolumne river at La Grange, the San Joaquin river at Herndon, the Kings river at Red mountain, Little Rock creek near Palmdale, Santa Ana river near Redlands. Lytle creek near Rialto and the Mojave river at Victor. Records are also being furnished without charge to the U.S. Geological Survey on the Kern river near Bakersfield by the Kern County Land company, on the San Gabriel river at Azusa by H. F. Parkinson and on the Sweetwater river at Sweetwater dam by H. N. Savage. Observations will be commenced January 1, 1901, on the Mokelumne river at Electra, the Merced near Snellings, Stony creek near Elk Creek, Cache creek at Lower Lake and on numerous tributaries on the Salinas. As result of the expenditure of $8386.48 it was ascertained that an amount of water estimated at 644,- Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c. size. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y. The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, relieving immediately the painful inflammation. With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever. Another resolution was passed requesting congress to prevent canal and reservoir sites withdrawn from public entry from being filled up by individuals and companies, except under bonds assuring the faithful performance of the purposes for which they are appropriated. Another resolution was adopted favoring legislation to enable irrigation districts organized under the Wright law to compound their indebtedness in any equitable way approved by a majority of qualified electors. Unqualified approval was voted to the policy of the Interior Department in proposing to withdraw from entry all public forest land. Shortly before the close of the final session, calls were heard from all parts of the house for W. H. Mills, and the eloquent Californian rising in his place, responded with a brilliantoration upon the forestry policies of this European countries. The address was the spontaneous outpouring of a mind stored with knowledge gleaned from personal investigation in many parts of the world. Congressman-elect Frank L. Coombs of Trinity also responded with an interesting and witty half-hour's talk, in which he said that, coming from the redwood country, he could not agree with all of Mr. Mills' vigorous arraignment of the lumber men of the State, but that he believed the Water and Forest Association was on the right track and that he would give the closest attention to all legislation asked by the organization during his official career. The convention adjourned to the call of the executive committee. The personnel of the meeting was notable. Included in the list of those present were the names of many who have made and are making California famous in the sisterhood of States. To preserve the forest and conserve the water of this great commonwealth, and thus to lay the foundation for a greater and better California—this is the lofty mission of the California Water and Forest association, which now, full of hope and vigor, enters upon its second year of endeavor.

GAZETTE: — Will try and old friends through the metre Gazette, for, as we moved him in April, 1876, and, with mention of the period from the 1882 to January, 1889, lived ever since, there are very many around Anaheim that we re-read very dear friends.

Curacoa is a very important com- The Metric System. It has been computed that by the adoption of the metric system of weights and measures the time saved arithmetical calculations would pay at laborers' wages, the national debt in every five years. It is pleasant to know that a committee of the House of Representatives has reported unanimously in favor of the adoption of this system to take effect in two years. Senators and Congressmen fully understand the importance of this measure and it should pass at once and without debate. The fact is, the metric system is now in use in all civilized countries of the world, except in the United States and Great Britain. These two alone represent in this matter the area of barbarism. We led the world in the application of the lecimal system to money, but stopped there. France took up the matter and applied it to everything except money, and other nations have followed. It is time we joined the procession. The system is already in use by scientific men in this country in all their calculations. There is nothing about it hard to learn except the names, and they are always abbreviated, and, considering that it is hard to learn them, a country which is so proud of its schools and universal education ought to be able to do what such countries as Mexico, Spain and Peru have accomplished. The adoption and use of this system have become a commercial necessity if we are to extend our trade in foreign countries. Everybody understands the metric system and nobody understand-the American jumble. More than that they have no disposition to learn it. If we wish to trade we must express our weight and measures in the language of the civilized world. And the quicker we begin the better. For one thing it will add from six months to a year to the available life of every schoolboy—that being the time on the average, required to enable those unfortunates to stumble through the mazes of that por- LOCAL RAILROAD RUMORS. A Party of Southern Pacific Traffic Men Drive Over the Country From Whittier to Placentia and Thence to This City. A party of Southern Pacific railroad officials were some days ago in the Placentia country, looking over the ground, with a view, it is said, to extending their road from this city into that section in the event of the Salt Lake road building through it. They drove from Whittier through the La Habra and into Placentia over the route surveyed for the Salt Lake railway. They subsequently drove from Placentia to Anaheim, over what is believed will be the route traversed by that road in its line between the two points. The statement was again made this week that both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific are preparing to extend their roads to Placentia, the first from Fullerton and the second from this city, as soon as the Clark road develops sufficiently to admit of no further doubt relative to its construction. "We will not let Clark have everything his own way," said a Santa Fe official, high in the councils of his road, the other day, "in the Placentia district. That section is too rich a field for that. We are hauling out hundreds of cars of through freight from that section, and we don't propose to turn it over to Clark without an effort to retain it. We have some rights of way already secured, and in the event of the construction of the new road, we shall be getting in on the ground floor. The Santa Fe will have its road into Placentia before Clark is well out of Los Angeles with his line." The Southern Pacific has also quite a bit of right of way secured between Anaheim and Placentia. When the road was built up town two years ago it was thought rails would be laid to Placentia but excessive charges for right The adoption and use of this system have become a commercial necessity if we are to extend our trade in foreign countries. Everybody understands the metric system and nobody understand the American jumble. More than that they have no disposition to learn it. If we wish to trade we must express our weight and measures in the language of the civilized world. And the quicker we begin the better. For one thing it will add from six months to a year to the available life of every schoolboy—that being the time on the average, required to enable those unfortunate to stumble through the mazes of that portion of the arithmetic which is labeled compound numbers. Suit for Damages. In the Superior Court some days ago suit was filed by D. H. Thomas of Santa Ana and H. A.

The adoption and use of this system have become a commercial necessity if we are to extend our trade in foreign countries. Everybody understands the metric system and nobody understand the American jumble. More than that they have no disposition to learn it. If we wish to trade we must express our weight and measures in the language of the civilized world. And the quicker we begin the better. For one thing it will add from six months to a year to the available life of every schoolboy—that being the time on the average, required to enable those unfortunate to stumble through the mazes of that portion of the arithmetic which is labeled compound numbers.

We have some rights of way already secured, and in the event of the construction of the new road, we shall be getting in on the ground floor. The Santa Fe will have its road into Placentia before Clark is well out of Los Angeles with his line." The Southern Pacific has also quite a bit of right of way secured between Anaheim and Placentia. When the road was built up town two years ago it was thought rails would be laid to Placentia but excessive charges for right of way put an effectual stop to building operations. Track was laid as far as East street, when the graders and track layers were transferred to the coast line. Now that that line is nearing completion, it is said in well-informed circles that the road is again seriously considering the matter of extending its line to Placentia. The first order of importance for supplies in the construction of the Salt Lake Railroad has been given for 220,000 ties, to be delivered during February and March of next year at San Pedro. The order was placed on Puget sound, where all such material for this Coast comes from, and the ties will be shipped south by sailing vessels. The consignment contracted for will, it is estimated, be necessary for the first 175 miles of new road. The total number of ties necessary for the completion of the whole line will be about 2,000,000. Oil Notes. The Standard Oil company has bought the property of the Pacific Coast Oil company. The latter company was one of the largest operators on the coast. Its principal field is near Newhall, where it has been operating for twenty years. The Pacific Coast Oil company has a pipe line about 35 miles long to the Ventura wharf, besides several 30,000-barrel storage tanks. It also owned, together with the Union Oil company, the tank steamer, Geo. Loomis, of 7000 barrels capacity, making a trip about every four or five days from Ventura to the company's refinery near San Francisco. It is said the Standard paid $1,000,000 for the property. The Piru ranch in Ventura county sold recently on account of its oil-bearing territory for $600,000; Senator Hard sold a portion of his Ojai oil land for $380,000; also a large block of Union Oil company stock for $800,000; but the Standard's deal for the Pacific Coast Oil company is the largest yet, $1,000,-000 being the figure reported as consideration paid. The Capistrano Oil company has just received from the Secretary of War permission to erect 32 wharves in front of its property at Capistrano. These wharves extend to the apex of the anticlinal in 18 feet of water, lying some 3000 feet off shore, and will furnish room for boring some 560 wells. Runaway Girl.

Susie Fowler, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fowler, of Santa Ana, was arrested in a room in the St. Charles Hotel, Los Angeles, last week, and returned to her home. She left home two weeks ago without the consent of her father. She purchased a ticket to Los Angeles, and checking a trunk to that city, returned home with the carriage, and mounting her wheel, went to Santa Ana, this time purchasing a ticket to Capistrano. Instead of stopping at that town she went to San Diego. There she met F. Butler, a blacksmith, who formerly worked at Campo, where the Fowlers resided several years ago. The following Sunday the two went to Los Angeles, taking rooms at the St. Charles, giving out the word at the hotel that they were brother and sister, and that the brother was in bad health. When the girl first disappeared the father thought she had gone to Bakersfield, where her mother had been staying for several months, and consequently did not worry over her departure. But it was subsequently ascertained that she had not gone there, and then a search was begun for her. A warrant was issued for her arrest, and Deputy Sheriff Bush left for Los Angeles, believing that she was somewhere in that city in hiding. He succeeded in locating her late Monday afternoon. Butler and the girl were found in the same room, but when the officers raped on the door the girl ran out of a side door; into another room, but was later apprehended. They were taken to Santa Ana, and Butler was placed in the county jail over night. He was taken to Los Angeles the next day, and a complaint will be made against him for rape.
