A GREAT YEAR FOR FARMERS. Marvelous Growth of Exports of Their Products—Shipments From United States in 1900 Valued at $844,616,530. Frank H. Hitchcock, chief of the section of foreign markets of the Agricultural department, has issued his annual review of the trade of the United States in agricultural products. His report says: "The fiscal year 1900 brought to a close a century of marvelous development in the history of United States commerce. In 1800, a century ago, the total value of the merchandise imported and exported in our trade with foreign countries was considerably less than a quarter of a billion dollars. The value of the goods exchanged during the past fiscal year reached nearly $2,250,000,000, far exceeding all previous records. Since the opening of the century our commerce with the rest of the world has increased more than twelvefold. "It was chiefly in the export trade that the enormous growth of the country occurred. Our domestic exports during 1900, with a recorded value of $1,370,-763,571, were over forty times as large as 1800. The total imports for 1900, on the other hand, amounting in value to $849,941,184, were less than ten times as large as in 1800. "Compared with the value of our imports for 1900, that of our domestic exports showed an excess of $520,822,387. "Of the merchandise imported from foreign countries during the fiscal year 1900, about 49 per cent consisted of agricultural products. These products had an aggregate value of $420,136,381, exceeding by almost $65,000,000 the record of the year before. Hides, silk and wool were the leading factors in the growth, although vegetable fibers, sugar and tobacco also showed important gains. The six items mentioned contributed nearly $60,000,000 to the increase in value. "Products of United States agriculture were marketed abroad in the fiscal year 1900 to the value of $844,616,530, forming about 62 per cent of the total domestic exports. With the single exception of 1898, the past year witnessed the largest annual export trade in farm produce on record. The value attained came within $15,000,000 of the phenomenal figures for 1899 by applied to foreign countries during 1900 was somewhat less than in the preceding year, the export record being 3,126,-225,588 pounds, or a falling off of 661,-493,534 pounds from 1899. Owing to an advance in the average yearly export price from 5.5 cents per pound to 7.8 cents per pound, however, the total value of the shipments showed an increase from $210,089,576 in 1899 to $242,-988,978 in 1900. In the exportation of meat products during the past year, there was an increase of $7,802,305 over the exceptionally high figures of 1899, the total value of the consignment sent to foreign markets in 1900 reaching as high as $173,751,471, and thus surpassing all previous records. The value for 1899, which was the highest previously reported, amounted to $166,679,166. The principal gain occurred in the group of articles classed as beef products, the increase amounting to 47,258,331 pounds in quantity and $8,082,793 in value. Fresh beef contributed the chief part of this gain. In the exports of hog products, on the other hand, there was a falling off of 140,241,179 as regards quantity, and $3,-015,926 as regards value. Bacon and lard were principal factors in this decline. Exports of hams showed a marked falling off in quantity but owing to an advance in price, the decrease in total value was small. The shipments of salted or pickled pork exhibited a decline in quantity, while in value there was a slight increase. Aside from the various hog and beef products, oleo oil formed the most important item under the head of meat products. The exports of oleo oil however, for 1900 showed a noticeable increase in both quantity and value. Value of a Familiar Face. An employee of the Chicago Tribune once found the fact that his face was familiar to the late Joseph Medill decidedly to his advantage. In the last years of his life Mr. Medill did not spend much time in Chicago and took no active part in the management of his paper, but when he was in the city he went to his office pretty regularly. He knew all the old faces, but few of the new ones, and it was too late in life for him to accustom himself to them. He never knew to whom to give "copy" that he wished printed if the managing editor happened to be absent. On one occasion he handed some to a representative of another paper who chance to be in the building. The man had GROWTH OF CALIFORNIA Showing the Wonderful Strides Moved by Four Southern Counties. The growth of California and other States of the Union during last decade stands revealed in that of the new census. The country whole has scored a gain of 21 per California has gained 22 per showing a little better than the average for the entire country. Massachusetts has grown 24 per cent. and is another of the older States have surpassed the growth of California. It however, with the old and thorny developed communities of East with roomy and unsettled W commonwealths, which have so passed the threshold of their development and might absorb and millions of new citizens, that California should be compared. Against our gain of 22 per cent orado shows 31 per cent. of India 33 per cent., Washington 34 per cent., Oregon 31 per cent., Wyoming 52 per cent., Montana 84 per cent., Idaho 91 per cent., Arizona 12 per cent. With the single except Nevada, which has fallen off 9 per cent. owing to the utter stagnation of irrigation industry, California brings the rear of the procession of West States. We can study the California state to better advantage by arranging State into several divisions. Fi us consider the Coast region: - Del Norte: 2,592 *2,408 - Humboldt: 23,469 27,104 - Mendeeino: 17,612 20,465 - Sonoma: 32,721 38,480 - Marin: 13,702 15,720 - Santa Clara: 48,005 60,216 - San Mateo: 10,887 12,094 - Contra Costa: 13,515 18,046 - Alameda: 93,864 130,190 - Santa Cruz: 19,270 21,512 - San Benito: 6,412 6,633 - Monterey: 18,637 19,380 - San Luis Obispo: 16,072 16,637 *Loss*, 184. The total gain for these great counties covering about four quarters of the coast line of our state is 58,846 or about twenty-five percent. The large gain is; of course; in each county contain growing cities; some Oakland; Berkeley; Alameda; Santa Rosa; and many small flourishing communities. and wool were the leading factors in the growth, although vegetable fibers, sugar and tobacco also showed important gains. The six items mentioned contributed nearly $80,000,000 to the increase in value. "Products of United States agriculture were marketed abroad in the fiscal year 1900 to the value of $844,616,530, forming about 62 per cent of the total domestic exports. With the single exception of 1898, the past year witnessed the largest annual export trade in farm produce on record. The value attained came within $15,000,000 of the phenomenal figures for 1899 by more that $50,000,000. A considerable portion of the increase over 1899 was accounted for by the higher price of cotton. The exports of this great staple, although smaller in quantity than during the preceding year, exhibited an advance of nearly $33,000,000 in value. Aside from cotton, the largest gains in value were those afforded by the exports of meat products and live stock. Tobacco, fruits and nuts, vegetable oils, oil cake and oil-cake meal, dairy products and seeds also furnished examples of increase. "A comparison of the value of our agricultural imports of 1900 with that of our agricultural imports show that the former exceeded the latter by $424,-480,149. The export value was slightly more than double the amount of the import value. "Among the agricultural imports of the United States for the fiscal year 1900, the leading items, named in the order of value, were sugar, hides and skins, coffee, silk, vegetable fibers, wool, fruits and nuts, tobacco, tea, wines, vegetable oils and cocoa. These twelve items comprised in value nearly 90 per cent of our entire import trade in the products of foreign agriculture during the year. "In detail, these principal items of our imports make the foreign showing, the figures given being for 1900 and the comparison of gain or loss being with the fiscal year 1899: Sugar, 4,018,086,-530 pounds; gain, 37,835,961 pounds, and total gain in value of these imports,$5,286,854. Hides and skins, 345,935,778 pounds; gain, 78,845,028 pounds; value gain,$15,947,655. Coffee, 787,981,911 pounds; loss, 43,835,152 pounds; value loss,$2,807,527. Silk, 14,073,918 pounds; gain, 1,823,335 pounds; value gain,$12,-850,133. Vegetable fibers, chiefly sisal grass, cotton and Manila hemp,$34,-334,750; gain,$9,021,511. Wool, 155,928,-455 pounds; gain 79,192,246 pounds (or over 100 per cent); value gain,$11,938,-039. Fruits and nuts,$19,263,592; gain,$949,386. Tobacco, 19,619,257 pounds; gain, 5,583,798 pounds; value gain,$3,-963,970. Tea, 84,845,107 pounds; gain, 10,755,208 pounds; value gain,$883,029. Wines,$7,421,495; gain,$1,020,049. Cocoa,$42,759,240 pounds; gain, 6,320,657 pounds; value gain,$610,728. The value changes were in part caused by an average rise in value during the year of one-tenth of a cent a pound in sugar, 1 per cent a pound in hides and skins one-tenth of a cent a pound in coffee, 58 cents a pound in silk; $25 a ton in Manila hemp. 2.2 cents a pound in wool and a loss of 2.7 cents a pound in cotton. An employee of the Chicago Tribune once found the fact that his face was familiar to the late Joseph Medill decidedly to his advantage. In the last years of his life Mr. Medill did not spend much time in Chicago and took no active part in the management of his paper, but when he was in the city he went to his office pretty regularly. He knew all the old faces, but few of the new ones, and it was too late in life for him to accustom himself to them. He never knew to whom to give "copy" that he wished printed if the managing editor happened to be absent. On one occasion he handed some to a representative of another paper who changed to be in the building. The man had been employed on The Tribune some years previously so his face was familiar to Mr. Medill while the faces of the men then actually in his employ were not. One day he suddenly inquired what had become of the old night editor. "He's in Boston," was the reply. Well, I want him," said Mr. Medill. It was explained that the man had an excellent place in Boston and probably would not care to come back, but Mr. Medill persisted that he wanted him. "I know him," he said,"and I want a familiar face in that room. I want some one who isn't a stranger to me. Telegraph him that Medill wants him." So the man with "the old familiar face," although he was not an old man by any means, went back to The Tribune on his own terms—Youth's Companion. A Glimpse of the Japanese. Mrs. Hugh Fraser, the author, widow of an English diplomat and sister of Marion Oraward says of her life in Japan to which her husband was minister from Great Britain: The absence of snobbishness and kindred vices in Japan impresses itself very clearly upon one. There are two characteristics of the Japanese which stand out very boldly. Home life is paramount,and the possession of money is but lightly regarded.Any one who would pretend to be richer than he is would be calmly avoided as a fool.Money is not spoken of,the absence of it is not apologized for.A person living in a poor way gives a guest all he has to offer and is not humiliated at having to show his poverty.The rich man does not overwhelm you with his riches. He shows you one beautiful object from his collection at a time in an empty room only beautiful through its perfect proportions,cooking and cleanliness.These people travel through life so lightly weighted,their requirements are so few in the material order,they seem as independent as the swallows and fly where we weighted down by the commissariat for our artificial wants,can only creep.But they hold invisible things very precious.Honor and self respect,the love of their children,the harmony of the family,the privileges of patriotism,the commonwealth of learning,these are things for which they will sacrifice much.

Our principal agricultural exports in 1900, as in previous years, were breadstuffs, cotton and meat products; these, with live animals, tobacco, oil cake, vegetable oils, fruits, dairy products and seeds, comprising over 93 per cent of our total exports of farm produce during 1900. Our exports of breadstuffs during 1900, although far exceeding in value the average for preceding years, show a slight falling off when compared with the exceptionally heavy shipments of 1898 and 1899. The exports for 1898, amounting in value to $333,897,119, were by far the largest on record. In 1899 the export trade amounted to $273,999,699, this value being in excess of any previously reported, except that just mentioned for 1898, and a record of $299,363,117 attained in 1892 were valued at $262,744,078, or $11,255,621 less than the figures returned for 1899. The decline in the export value of breadstuffs recorded for 1900 was traceable chiefly to a falling off in the shipments of wheat. Accompanying the decline in wheat shipments there was a further marked increase in the exports of corn, and for the first time in the history of the trade the total export value of corn exceeded that of wheat. In both quantity and value our exports of Indian corn for 1900 were the largest ever paid, amounting to 209,438,284 bushels, worth $85,206,400, being greater in quantity by 35.259,190 bushels and in value by $16,228,952 than in 1899. The average annual export price per bushel for 1900 was 40.7 cents against 39.6 cents for 1899. The amount of American cotton sup- "Red Rock, N.Y." said a man who spent some time there. "It's not much of a place, but there is something interesting about it that I fancy all the world doesn't know. The present name is not the one it has always borne, and what its other name was I don't know. Whatever it was the people did not like it and concluded they would change it. There was no particular reason why they should call it Red Rock, but that was determined upon. And so Red Rock it became. "Then in the course of time strangers of an inquiry turn of mind began to ask why the place had such a name, and as no reason could be given newcomers to the neighborhood began to want a name that meant something. This insistence grew so strong that the old residents began to look around for a reason for the name of their place, and at last they found a huge bowler near by which they said was what had suggested the name. But the bowler was gray instead of red, and the progressists insisted that that would not lo. At last the old timers hit upon a new plan, and procuring a barrel of red paint, they painted the big rock red. Rock indeed it was now, and not only was all opposition to the name overcome, but the painting of the rock every spring has become an annual festival, and the people celebrate it with a big picnic and general celebration. "It was a new idea to me, and if there is any other town anywhere on earth that is christened every spring with red paint or any other color I don't know where it is."—New York sun. "The girl that carries off the young man the easiest," said the corn fed philosopher, "is the one that knows enough not to know too much."—Indianapolis Journal. All the men who wreck banks and run away with money seem to be "nice fellows."—Boston Journal. Like the San Joaquin. It represents an average yearly gain of only two percent, which would not be much than the natural increase without immigration into account. In justice to Fresno and Tuition should be remarked that the new ties of Madera and Kings were out of their respective territories. The past decade, reducing present figures materially.

The average gain for all these counties is nine per cent. not do to excuse them for this showing on the ground that they largely devoted to mining and industries and that these are unable to a large and steady rate. There is something to this explain but on the other hand it may be fully said that these mountains could readily accommodate an influx of population during the next ten years. There are great valleys of these counties, notably Inyo and Modoc, as well suited to settling as Salt Lake valley of Utah Arkansas valley of Colorado. That these localities are also well used to mining, lumbering and livelihoods should not be regarded unfavorable to their agriculture development. On the contrary dustries should only enhance the cultural prosperity of the region furnishing home markets for their products of the farm. The mountain region is suffering from that dead nation which afflicts every part ofifornia, staying the progress GROWTH OF CALIFORNIA. Winging the Wonderful Strides Made by the Four Southern Counties. The growth of California and the other States of the Union during the decade stands revealed in the light of the new census. The country is a place has scored a gain of 21 per cent. California has gained 22 per cent., giving a little better than the average in the entire country. Massachusetts grown 24 per cent, and several of the older States have surpassed the growth of California. It is not, never, with the old and thoroughly developed communities of the East, but in the roomy and unsettled Western monwealths, which have scarcely used the threshold of their development and might absorb and sustain millions of new citizens, that California should be compared. Against our gain of 22 per cent, Colorado shows 31 per cent. of increase, with 33 per cent., Washington 49 per cent., Oregon 31 per cent., Wyoming, per cent., Montana 84 per cent., who 91 per cent., Arizona 101 per cent. With the single exception of Nevada, which has fallen off 9 per cent., going to the utter stagnation of its irrigation industry, California brings up near end of the procession of Western states. We can study the California figures better advantage by arranging the state into several divisions. First, let consider the Coast region: 1890. 1900. Gain. Norte... 2,592 *2,408 ...

The total gain for these thirteen counties, covering about three-quarters of the coast line of our State, is 88,846, or about twenty-five per cent. We large gain is, of course, in counties which contain growing cities, such as Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, San Jose, Santa Rosa, and many smaller but enriching communities. Something State and laying its heavy hand upon the prosperity of all communities. Let us turn to a brighter picture—the record of Southern California: 1890. 1900. Gain. Los Angeles.....101,454 170,298 68,844 Riverside (new Co.).....17,897 ..... San Bernardino..25,495 27,929 2,434 Orange.....13,589 19,696 6,107 Santa Barbara..15,754 18,934 3,180 Ventura.....10,071 14,367 4,296 San Diego.....34,987 35,090 103 These seven southern counties have gained upon the average 47 per cent. If we consider only the four well irrigated counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside, we find that they have gained 67½ per cent. This magnificent result may be explained in a single word—irrigation. It has been achieved, not because of good irrigation laws, but in spite of bad ones—the irrigation in Southern California has been strong enough to carry the country forward upon its stalwart shoulders in spite of ceaseless litigation and ill-defined water rights. We find another striking lesson in census figures of our leading cities. San Francisco, which is not surrounded by an irrigated region but has every other advantage under the sun, has gained 14½ per cent. Los Angeles, backed by a comparatively irrigated community, but otherwise at a very great disadvantage as compared with San Francisco, scores the magnificent gain of 106 per cent. The lesson of the census is perfectly plain. California is an arid land living under the laws and customs, for the most part, of the humid region whence came its people and its institutions. It has practically reached the limit of its growth under present conditions. It might be the greatest state in the Union, in population and wealth and power. It has everything it needs to make it such except wise laws and good administration touching its waters and other natural resources. California has reached the turning point in its history. It can retain its present laws and customs, continue to waste its waters, and permit its forests to be destroyed, and creep painfully along until it shall reach the point of almost complete stagnation. On the other hand, California may reform its water laws, provide great policies of constructive legislation, supplement them with appropriate methods of administration, store and utilize its flood waters, protect and perpetuate its "Hit the Nail On the Head." If you have eruptions, pains in the head or kidneys, stomach trouble and feelings of weariness," "Hit the nail on the head." Hood's Sarsaparilla is the hammer to use. It will purify your blood. The masses praise it for doing this and making the whole body healthy. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints IN THE WINTER. (Benson's Plaster is Pain's Master.) For coughs and colds Benson's Porous Plasters are an incomparably better remedy than any other—external or internal. Their medicinal properties enter the skin and go straight to the seat of the disease. They relieve and cure a "seated" cold without disturbing the system or upsetting the stomach. Cough mixtures often nauseate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in the highest degree, and quickest to act. Placed on the chest or back or on both at once in serious cases, the good effect is felt immediately. The congestion yields the cough abates and the breathing improves. Lung or bronchial affections or kidney disease are cured with the least possible suffering and loss of time. Benson's Plasters are immeasurably superior to Belladonna, Strengthening Capicum or any other combination in plaster form. They are also preferable to ointments and salves. Benson's Plasters have received fifty-five highest awards over all competitors; and more than 5,000 physicians and druggists have declared them to be one of the few trustworthy household remedies.

Seabury & Johnson, Mfg. Chemists, N.Y. Corona Water. A meeting of the stockholders of the Temescal Water company has been called for March 21; for the purpose of voting bonds to the amount of $350,000. The company has a bonded debt of $150,000 and a floating debt of $22,000. The proceeds from the new bonds will pay this off and give a surplus of the same amount for water development. The company has an option on 480 acres of moist lands with a couple of wells upon it in the Perris valley. A pipe line 21 miles long will be necessary to connect the water from this tract with the head of the pipe line in the Temescal Water Company. A Case of Color Blindness The total gain for these thirteen counties, covering about three-quarters of the coast line of our State, is 8,846, or about twenty-five per cent. The large gain is, of course, in counties which contain growing cities, such as Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, San Jose, Santa Rosa, and many smaller but thriving communities. Something has been gained by growing density of settlement in the highly improved leys, such as those of Santa Clara Sonoma. Agricultural development as a whole, however, is at a standstill throughout the coast region. Why, shall presently consider. Turn now to the Sacramento valley: 1890. 1900. Gain. Loss. 1894.

The population of the two counties added together is 1,794 less than that of 1890. There is, as in the coast region, we find no growth centered in counties having other good-sized towns or communities near small farmers, and we find that the agricultural growth is practically nil. The entire percentage of land for the Sacramento valley in the past ten years—a valley that might take homes for all the people of New York and New England—is only four percent! The San Joaquin valley makes a bet showing than the Sacramento area are the figures: 1890. 1900. Gain. Loss 28,629. 35,452. 6,823 10,040. 9,550 ... 490 8,085. 9,125. 1,040 6,302 ... 32,026. 37,862. 5,836 19,891 ... 9,891 ... 24,574. 18,375 ... 6,199 9,808. 16,480. 6,672 The percentage of gain for the entire valley was 25% per cent. This was due some extent to the oil boom of the past two years. But even with this element in its favor the showing is not a馈宜 one for an imperial district like the San Joaquin. It represents average yearly gain of only 24 per cent., which would not be much more than the natural increase, without taking immigration into account at all. Justice to Fresno and Tulare it should be remarked that the new counties of Madera and Kings were carved out of their respective territories during the past decade, reducing their present figures materially. Let us confer on the mountain district: 1890. 1900. Gain.

But there is less than an earnest in the statement. It is trying to be on the feet all day, to be reaching and stooping hour after hour from morn until night. And that is a very meager outline of a business woman's day. With many such women the ordinary strain of labor is interspersed and aggravated by a diseased California has reached the turning point in its history. It can retain its present laws and customs, continue to waste its waters, and permit its forests to be destroyed, and creep painfully along until it shall reach the point of almost complete stagnation. On the other hand, California may reform its water laws, provide great policies of constructive legislation, supplement them with appropriate methods of administration, store and utilize its flood waters, protect and perpetuate its forests, and so move on to greatness. Thousands of members of the water and forest association say that California shall not continue to carry its present incubus of bad laws, but that it shall have reform, progress, and prosperity. They realize that they entered upon no holiday excursion, but have undertaken a work which will consume many years of time No doubt they will be years of struggle and conflict, and they will also be years crowned with glorious results. The water and forest association stands for the policy of state and national co-operation in the great work of building California, as well as the arid region, which properly looks to the Pacific Coast for its inspiration. If we all do our duty during the next ten years we shall have no apologies to make for the census of 1910.-L. M. Holt in Imperial Farmer. Trial Jurors.

It will not do to excuse them for this meagre showing on the ground that they are largely devoted to mining and pastoral industries and that these are unfavorable to a large and steady growth. There is something to this explanation, but on the other hand it may be truthfully said that these mountain counties would readily accommodate an increase in population during the next ten years equivalent to the entire gain scored by the State of California in the past ten years. There are great valleys in some of these counties, notably Inyo, Lassen and Modoc, as well suited to settlement in Salt Lake valley of Utah or the Arkansas valley of Colorado. The fact that these localities are also well adapted to mining, lumbering and live stock industries, should not be regarded as favorable to their agricultural development. On the contrary those industries should only enhance the agritoural prosperity of the region, as finishing home markets for the products of the farm. The mountain region is suffering from that deadly stagnation which afflicts every part of California, staying the progress of the You May Need Pain-Killer For Cuts Burns Bruises Gramps Diarrhoea All Bowel Complaints It is a sure, safe and quick remedy.

He was a native of Virginia and came to this state in 1851. Mr. Glassell and his partner, A. B. Chapman, formerly owned a large tract of land in this valley, including the site of the city of Orange. The town was originally laid out by them and the two principal streets bear their names. They set aside eight lots in the center of the town for a plaza and as these lots cannot be diverted to any other use the present arrangement of a circular park was adopted before the city was incorporated. Mr. Glassell was a lawyer of considerable ability and amassed a handsome fortune. He leaves seven children, all of whom reside in Los Angeles. Will Boom His Business. S. Laval, a merchant of Dallas, Tex., writes: "I thought I would have to give up business, after two years of suffering from general debility brought on by overwork and long hours, but four bottles of Electric Bitters gave me new life. I can now eat anything, sleep well and feel like working all the time. It's the best medicine on earth." It's a wonderful tonic and health builder for tired, weak, sickly and run-down people. Try it.

Peter and Walter Martin of San Francisco, directors of the Stearns Rancho company, were during the week looking over the La Habra, in company of W. J. Hole, with a view to drilling a number of wells for oil. This company owns 200 acres near the new Menges oil company strike, 500 acres just south of the Fullerton Consolidated oil wells, and in all has over 1000 acres of oil-bearing land. The visitors were favorably impressed with what they saw, and will take up the matter of development with the board of directors upon their return to San Francisco.
