Gets an Honorable Discharge from the Army, and is now a Roundsman in the Filipino City. Frank Pallas has written a letter to Joseph Helmsen from Manila, in which he writes of life in the islands as follows: MANILA, P. L., Feb. 13, 1901. J. Helmsen—Dear friend and Bro: I am glad that again fortune permits me to make this much of an effort to answer your kind and friendly letters. The last writing I did was the last letter I wrote you, so you may know that I am out of practice. Many things have taken place since I wrote you last. In October a regimental order came out for all companies to mass at Lingian. Things were packed and sent to Dagupan and stored. The only things permitted the men were the clothes they had on and one blanket. The rumor was that we would be sent to Manila, and then to San Francisco to be mustered out. But not so. We were put on a transport and sent to San Estebond, about eighteen miles from Bigan; and there the hardest marches that the regiment ever had took place from the 1st of November the 15th of January. We went almost to the extreme northern point of Luzon. We climbed so high up the mountains that we thought we would march right into Heaven in columns of fours. Some of the men left us, and are probably scouting the Celestial regions while their bodies are mouldering in the soil. We waded so many rivers, creeks and swamps that some of the men got water drops. My company started with 52 men, and we came back with 39. One was killed in a fight. two died in the hospital and the others were in hospitals unit for duty. With all of the hard work that the regiment did not a bit of credit was gained for the men and officers. We disembarked at Manila on the LANDS OF LOWER CALIFORNIA. One of the Least Known and Most Interesting Sections of the Globe. GUADALUPE, Lower California, Feb. 12.—The unwonted activity just now being manifested in the development of the long neglected resources of Lower California has awakened an interest in this comparatively obscure region that in recent years is entirely without a precedent. There is perhaps no other section of the continent, of indeed the entire hemisphere, at once so easy of access and so little known as this great, sinuous arm of land immediately beyond our southwest border. With the exception of the more or less conflicting reports issued by various evanescent land companies that from time to time in the past essayed the colonization of the peninsula, practically the only existing literature descriptive of the country, and its resources consists of the Spanish records left by the Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries, who, in centuries past, labored to Christianize its natives. The supposed area of the peninsula, recokned on the somewhat doubtful basis of its average length and breadth, is 70,000 square miles, a little less than half the area of the State of California. In length it measures upward of 750 miles, while the exceeding irregularity of its coast line causes it to vary in breadth from 200 miles across its northernmost boundary to forty miles at a point midway to Cape St. Lucas, its southernmost extremity. The peninsula is divided into two districts, the combined population of both numbering only about 15,000, more than one-third of whom are Indians. The territory was discovered in 1534 by Fortuno Ximenez, a lieutenant of the illustrious Cortez, and antedates the discovery of upper California by some forty-four years. During its earlier annals various beliefs of a chimerer CALIFORNIA LEMONS POINT Eastern Buyers are Disappointed in the Supply is Insufficient. There has been great disappointment in the New York and outlying because the supply of California did not hold up to what was expected. There had been some effective missionary work in India and creating a demand for many dealers who had a fancy trade wanted California exclusively. It was a disappointment and an annoyance when she stopped off, and it became impossible more, except in small quantities of larger institutions, like restaurants and the better ones used them altogether, which led to fill their place. As a matter of fact no fruit brought to this market whichpletely captured practically all users as the California lemon. Quite true even before the made which showed that it was lemon than the Sicily for any special purposes. After that a scramble to get California now, when there are smaller they bring higher prices than even with the stigma of possible resting on them, and that are supposed to be nearly in their growth. This unexpected and unproven demand was not built up by ing, except in a small way. To be spontaneous. Whoever California lemon wanted it, not it was from California, but it was a good lemon. It is thought by some that growers made a mistake in comparison to be made which se beneficially to the California out sufficient supply to meet able demand. To this object be answered that the call was larger and stronger than usual. Los Angeles and Cypress Sts AHEIM GAZETTE RANGE COUNTY Send For Sample Copy.

As we mounted the further bank of this burrowing stream the aspect of the country before us underwent a complete change, and in place of drifting sand ridges a boundless mesaland of living green was unfolded to view. Verily, we were on the verge of another California, and but for the Mexican colors floating above the curious little burg that straggled forward to meet us it would have been hard indeed to believe we were not still north of the boundary line. We remained here barely long enough to enable the Mexican Customs Inspector to adjust the tariff to the few durable articles we had imported for use on our trip, and to secure the services of two saddle horses, a pack animal and a guide. This accomplished, we next saw to the packing of our outfit, whereupon we mounted and resumed our journey, heading southeast in the direction of the Lower Colorado.

Eastern Buyers are Disappointed Because the Supply is Insufficient. There has been great disappointment in the New York and outlying markets because the supply of California lemons did not hold up to what was at first expected. There had been some very effective missionary work in introducing and creating a demand for them, and many dealers who had a particular fancy trade wanted California lemons exclusively. It was a disappointment and an annoyance when the supply fell off, and it became impossible to get more, except in small quantities. Some of the larger institutions, like hotels and restaurants and the better saloons, which used them altogether, were troubled to fill their place. As a matter of fact no fruit was ever brought to this market which so completely captured practically all consumers as the California lemon. This was quite true even before the tests were made which showed that it was a better lemon than the Sicily for ordinary or special purposes. After that there was a scramble to get California fruit, and now, when there are small lots sold, they bring higher prices than Sicilies, even with the stigma of possible frosting resting on them, and the Sicilies are supposed to be nearly in the "flush of their growth." This unexpected and unprecedented demand was not built up by advertising, except in a small way. It seemed to be spontaneous. Whoever saw a California lemon wanted it, not because it was from California, but because it was a good lemon. It is thought by some that California growers made a mistake in causing a comparison to be made which resulted in beneficially to the Californias without sufficient supply to meet any probable demand. To this objection it may be answered that the call was so much larger and stronger than was anticipated. GOVERNOR GAGE'S VETOES. Turns Down Bills Seeking to Raid the Funds in the Public Treasury. Governor Gage vetoed Ray's Assembly bill appropriating $50,000 for a State highway from the Merced river into Yosemite National park, and the Senate committee bill appropriating $287,615 to pay coyote scalp claims on judgments obtained against the State. In his message to the Assembly the Governor makes it plain that he will not approve any bills for road construction. This is of much importance in view of the fact that there have been pending bills for this purpose carrying nearly $1,000,000 in appropriations. On this subject the Governor says after expressing regret that he cannot approve Ray's bill: "There are now pending before me other bills for the improvement of roads and highways, which, taken together, carry such a large appropriation, covering hundreds of thousands of dollars, that their allowance this session would not only be a grievous wrong and unnecessary burden upon the taxpayers, but would be in violation of the pledge of economy forming part of the Republican platform upon which I was elected, and which every member of the dominant party in the legislature is bound to respect." With reference to the bill appropriating money with which to pay the coyote scalp claims Governor Gage says: "The same amount was presented in different forms of bills to Governor Budd and Governor Markham, but failed to receive their approval. In my inaugural address I called the attention of the Legislature at its Thirty-third session, to the messages of Governor Markham and Governor Budd, and to the report of the Controller for the years 1897 and 1898 upon this subject, and said: 'From the foregoing reports it will be observed that these claims, amounting to $287,615, are as a whole tainted with fraud, and the honest This unexpected and unprecedented demand was not built up by advertising, except in a small way. It seemed to be spontaneous. Whoever saw a California lemon wanted it, not because it was from California, but because it was a good lemon. It is thought by some that California growers made a mistake in causing a comparison to be made which resulted in beneficially to the Californias without sufficient supply to meet any probable demand. To this objection it may be answered that the call was so much larger and stronger than was anticipated that the available supply was exhausted before any one supposed it would be. No California lemons had been brought to this market before, and the first offerings were deemed an experiment. In other places there has been considerable difficulty in making profitable headway against the firmly entrenched Sicilies, which had held the market for years. Here the California lemon sprang into almost instant favor and the demand could not be satisfied. It is said there will be more liberal shipments later when the summer crop is ready to come forward, but that is uncertain. The trees and fruit are said to be looking unusually well, and if nothing unforeseen prevents the yield will be liberal. All consumers of lemons certainly hope it will be. A majority, particularly those who use fancy fruit, want Californias, and they want them enough to pay a good deal more than they are paying for Sicilies of the same size. This is sufficient to prove the esteem with which the California fruit is held. Another point of interest is that occasional lots were shipped to the country towns which generally buy their lemons in New York. The favor with which they were received there was quite as marked as it was here. There were constant demands from those sections which had received sample shipments, and while the Californias lasted it was practically impossible to sell any Sicily fruit in those places. It must be said, in justice to the Sicily stock, that at the same time it is impossible to get Sicily lemons that are satisfactory as to quantity. While the Californias were not at their best, they were enough better than the foreign stock to make them especially attractive and create a strong demand for them. It is only a question of getting supplies to have a big trade. One man who understands something about the trade says it is only a question of being able to get enough to satisfy the demand to force the Sicily fruit almost entirely out of the market, the same as foreign oranges have been driven out, with the exception of Jamaica. He thinks the California lemon is so much superior to the foreign-grown fruit, largely because it is more carefully cultivated, and that the latter has no chance in competition, assuming that the California growers can ship enough fruit to supply the demand. He says it is only a comparatively short time ago that all oranges came about the trade says it is only a question of being able to get enough to satisfy the demand to force the Sicily fruit almost entirely out of the market, the same as foreign oranges have been driven out, with the exception of Jamaica.

He says it is only a comparatively short time ago that all oranges came from abroad, but that Californias have so completely shut them out that the trade amounts to almost nothing now, only a few hundred boxes coming where millions were formerly imported. The price is high enough to afford growers a fair profit, and it is not as onerous as the prices sometimes paid for Sicilies in years past. Consequently, in this dealer's opinion, Sicilys fruit is doomed to practical extinction as far as this market is concerned just as soon as California can supply the demand — New York Commercial. English Women for South Africa. At a meeting in London last week of the British Women's Emigration Society Colonial Secretary Chamberlain advocated the emigration of English women to the colonies, and recommended that the work be greatly expanded. He also recommended the raising of a special fund for the purpose of encouraging the emigration of women to South Africa. Chamberlain said he thought the 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.

Neff, the well-known horticultural expert of Anaheim, is plowing under a heavy crop of field peas in his 40-acre orchard. The Anaheim Gazette, speaking of this, notes that part of the orchard planted last season to peas gives a far better crop this year than that planted for the first time. Wonder if nitrofication of the soil has anything to do with that—how about it, Prof. Cook? EUCHRE CLUB. Mrs. Hartung entertained the Ladies' Euchre club very pleasantly on Thursday afternoon. The decorations were in green in honor of St. Patrick. The first prize was won by Mrs. Hartung, the second by Mrs. Asher and the consolation by Mrs. Kirby. After the game refreshments were served and later the guests returned to their homes. Sunday School Tour. The International Sunday School Executive Committee has planned a great Sunday School tour which will extend across the continent. Five practical Sunday School specialists started in Virginia last month and will visit eighteen states, closing their work in Kansas, after having been to the Pacific Coast. This involves over 10,000 miles of travel for each member. The entire party will be present at the State convention at Los Angeles, April 16-18. It will be a rare opportunity for the Sunday school workers of our State and it is expected many delegates will be present. For information address, Rev. F. M. Dowling, Pasadena, Cal. A Good Cough Medicine for Children. "I have no hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says F. P. Morgan, a well-known and popular baker, of Petersburg, Va. "We have given it to our children when troubled with bad coughs, also whooping cough, and it has always given perfect satisfaction. It was recommended to me by a druggist as the best cough medicine for children, as it contained no opium or other harmful drug." Sold by P. A.
