COMPLAINT is already heard relative to the reversal of the runs by the water company. As is already well known, the runs, which for years have begun at the foot of the ditch and worked up to the head, were recently, out of deference to Col. Tuffree, reversed so that delivery will begin with the next run at the head of the ditch and work the other way. Upon the face of it, it would seem that there is little difference to irrigators whether the delivery of water begins at one point or the other, so long as all are served alike, and there is water enough for all. But it seems the new order will work a deal of extra labor upon the zanjeros, especially upon this side, that official has to be up at all hours of the night to care for the stream. At present the irrigator who is to get the water at, say, 4 o'clock in the morning, will be promptly on hand to take the water and shut it off from his neighbor below him. There has been no trouble about that in the past. The zanjeros notify the irrigator of the time of delivery of water to him; and give him permission to take it from the ditch at that hour. But it is claimed that with a reversal of the rules, the irrigator will hardly turn off his own supply precisely at the hour, especially if he have another little corner of his orchard to wet down. See the point? Thus the irrigator getting the water at 4 o'clock, instead of opening the ditch at his place, will have to walk perhaps a half mile, or a mile or more, in order to locate the stream and then help himself to it. This he will quite likely vigorously object to, with the result that the zanjero, who now has a chance to get some rest at night, will be kept on the jump another time. Col. Tuffree made the reversal of many of the States have already reached the limit of indebtedness under their constitution. Again, the history of all State land grants has been that they are squandered, and the purpose of the grant is not accomplished. Past experience is a warning against State cession for this reason. Conditional State cession is utterly impracticable. No conditions could be imposed which would not be evaded, and the confession that conditions are necessary is the strongest argument against State cession. More than all this, there is a bitter antagonism to State cession in the West which is so deeply rooted that the West itself would repudiate such a policy. This was demonstrated in the last two sessions of Congress by the large number of strong petitions coming from the West in opposition to State cession. In the East the opposition is still more intense, and it is certain beyond question that no general policy of State cession could ever be passed through Congress. This being so, and it being beyond question possible to secure the inauguration of a broad national policy for the reclamation through the National Government itself of the arid public domain, the wise policy of the West is for the people of that section of the country to stand united in urging the speedy inauguration of the national irrigation policy. The two, however, cannot go together. State cession would kill the national irrigation movement. The strongest argument to induce the Government to undertake the construction of reservoirs and irrigation works in the arid region, is that the Government is the largest land-owner in the West. If the Government parted with the land and gave it to the States, it would be upon the theory that the States could take the lands and build their own reservoirs and irrigation works. This they would fail to do, and enormous detriment to the West would inevitably result by such a disposition of the lands. COAST WEATHER AND CROPS A Bit of Dryness Prevailing Throughout the Southern Part of the State. The temperature has been considerably higher than during the preceding week, and no injurious frost have occurred since Tuesday morning. With the exception of a light shower in the vicinity of San Diego, no rain has fallen during the week. Dry northerly winds have continued in most sections. Fogs along these coast have been beneficial to crops. Early sown grain continues in good condition, and has commenced heading out in some sections. The late sown is showing the effects of the continued dry weather, and some places will yield a light crop; rain does not fall within a short time. Haying is progressing in some sections. There will be a good crop hay in nearly all parts of the State. Pasturage is becoming scarce in many places. The severe frosts of the preceding week, though less injurious than that time estimated, damaged a variety of deciduous fruits materially, especially in the central and northern portions of the State. Some favored localities escaped serious injury, but from nearly all sections reports continue very discouraging. In some places it is said that apricot crop will be a failure, peaches, prunes, grapes and other fruits will yield a very light crop. The first shipment of early cherries and strawberries were made from the Sacramento valley during this week. Oranges and olives were injured by frost. SACRAMENTO VALLEY. The weather has been warmer than during the preceding week, and severe frosts have been reported since last Monday. Dry northerly winds have prevailed, and as no rain has fallen during the week they have become very dry.

Thus the irrigator getting the water at 4 o'clock, instead of opening the ditch at his place, will have to walk perhaps a half mile, or a mile or more, in order to locate the stream and then help himself to it. This he will quite likely vigorously object to, with the result that the zanjero, who now has a chance to get some rest at night, will be kept on the jump another time. Col. Tuffree made the reversal of the run a condition precedent to granting the right of way for the company's main ditch through his ranch which has been in litigation for twenty years, but to which he recently acquired title, wanted the water on his 640 acre tract before the land in the Kraemer tract to the south of him was served. The company agreed to his terms, and now one bears it whispered in out of the way places that it should not have done so. The infamous Loud postal bill is to be reintroduced in the next Congress, as we learn from a reference to it in the Argonaut, an extract from which we publish in another column. The Argonaut advises country publishers to write their Congressmen, explaining the ill effects of the bill as regards weekly newspapers. The advice is well timed and appropriate. This would have been done during the last session of Congress, but for the fact that the bill was spirited through the House, it not being brought to the notice of the rural publishers at all. Not one of the greatly belauded correspondents at Washington referred to the bill by so much as a line. However, when the bill reached the upper house, Senator Hale of Maine sounded the key note of the opposition to it, and the bill was quietly laid away. We do not believe the bill can ever be passed, what with all of its present defects and monstrous cinch of the weekly newspapers' which it practically debars from the mails. Nevertheless country publishers should immediately write their representatives, explaining to them the bad effects the bill would have upon a class of newspapers which has been largely interested in their election. Assuredly if the members of the House were conversant with the provisions of the bill, it would be buried so deep that it would never be revived again, much less ever reach the Senate. Much of the credit for carrying California for the Republican party is due the country press of the state. Now one of the party's Congressmen rises in his place in the House Nobody in this country will worry much over the rejection of the United States' stipulations by the Cuban constitutional convention. These terms, as set forth in the Platt resolutions, it is safe to say, met the views of an overwhelming majority of the American people. They merely imposed on Cuba the formal recognition of the Monroe doctrine, in its special application to their country, and enacted a pledge that the interests of the United States in the island should be kept in view by the Cubans. Cuba was asked to take certain steps which would keep it out of entanglements calculated to make trouble between the island and any European nation. It was asked also to lease coaling stations to this country, and to use precautions whereby the American sanitary measures already begun in Cuba should be continued, so that the southern ports of this country would be protected from the invasions of pestilences to which they were exposed during the days of Spain's supremacy in the island. While the rejection of these eminently reasonable terms may occasion regret, they are not likely to lead to serious trouble. It must be borne in mind that the United States is master of the situation in the island. It has a considerable military force there, and this can be increased at short notice. That there will be any reason for its increase is decidedly unlikely. The rejection of the terms as set forth in the Platt amendment merely necessitates the maintenance of the military regime a little longer than was hoped by the administration and the American people. An American Governor-General, the present official or somebody else, will remain in the island. The affairs of the island will continue to be administered by the same machinery which is in operation at the present time. The island will continue under American tutelage until a settlement is reached which will safeguard the interest of the people of Cuba and be satisfactory to the United States. All this involves a somewhat longer construction of reservoirs and irrigation works in the arid region, is that the Government is the largest land-owner in the West. If the Government parted with the land and gave it to the States, it would be upon the theory that the States could take the lands and build their own reservoirs and irrigation works. This they would fail to do, and enormous detriment to the West would inevitably result by such a disposition of the lands. The weather has been warmer than during the preceding week, and severe frosts have been reported since last Monday. Dry norther winds have prevailed, and as no snow has fallen during the week she has become very dry. Late reports from the fruit districts state that while considerable damage resulted from the frosts of last week, she will not be as heavy as then expected. In portions of Placer county she was no injury to fruit, and orchards on the Sacramento River American rivers were not seriously damaged. Good crops are expected in those sections. The first sturberies from Placer county and first cherries from Solano county were shipped on the 11th. Grains still in fair condition, but rain needed. COAST AND BAY SECTIONS. The temperature has been almost normal during the week, and nowvere frosts have occurred since 9th. The continuance of dry winters and absence of rain are seriously affecting crops in some sections.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. the bill would have upon a class of newspapers which has been largely interested in their election. Assuredly if the members of the House were conversant with the provisions of the bill, it would be buried so deep that it would never be revived again, much less ever reach the Senate. Much of the credit for carrying California for the Republican party is due the country press of the state. Now one of the party's Congressmen rises in his place in the House and by the aid of an ill-timed and indefensible measure seeks to strike them a blow from which many could not recover. There may be abuses of the postal laws, which Loud seeks to rectify, but certainly the country weekly should not be made to bear the onus of the whole trouble. The theory of State cession of arid lands grew out of the old idea that the National Government never would do anything for the reclamation of the arid public lands. Nothing is more certain now than that the Federal Government will inaugurate a policy for their reclamation, and the necessity for State cession is thus withdrawn. The reclamation of the arid public lands could not be accomplished by their cession to the States for many reasons. The rivers are mostly interstate streams. Those rising, for instance, in Colorado and Wyoming flow into or through seventeen States and Territories. The States have not the financial resources. They will not provide the necessary capital by direct taxation. It cannot be raised by bonding the land. This has been tried and failed. The States cannot raise the money by the issuance of State bonds. The people would not vote them in any of the States, and was hoped by the administration and the American people. An American Governor-General, the present official or somebody else, will remain in the island. The affairs of the island will continue to be administered by the same machinery which is in operation at the present time. The island will continue under American tutelage until a settlement is reached which will safeguard the interest of the people of Cuba and be satisfactory to the United States. All this involves a somewhat longer occupation of Cuba than most Americans expected or desired, but the necessity will be faced unflinchingly, and the measures which this will impose will be taken promptly. Here is the situation, and it is likely to appeal with some force to the intelligent and conservative Cubans. The question of the relations to exist between Cuba and the United States will come up in Congress at its meeting next December if a satisfactory settlement is not reached earlier and this will involve the acceptance by the Cuban convention or some other representative body of the islanders of the conditions which have just been rejected. There will be no escape from this necessity. Nor will Congress be called in extra session to deal with the issue. If the recent rejection stands, then the matter will be deferred until next December, the American military regime continuing as now. The Cubans would do well to bear in mind, too, that the terms which will be formulated next winter, if any new terms have to be framed, are likely to be less favorable to Cuba than those which have been rejected. Cuba’s course is likely to have just this sort of an effect on the United States. There are certain conditions which Cuba, as the price of her liberation from Spain by the United States, must agree to, and these will grow harder instead of easier by antagonism and postponement.

In portions of Placer county LOUD'S INFAMOUS POSTAL BILL To Be Called up at the Next Session of Congress—It Would Destroy the Country Newspaper. An act to revise and codify the postal law was introduced by Representative Loud at the last session of Congress, passed the House of Representatives, and was read twice in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Post-offices and Postroads, where it rested at the final adjournment. While the bill failed to become a law, it would be rash to assume that it is dead. A measure containing some of its provisions was signally defeated in the House during the previous session, yet the bill under discussion appeared promptly when a new occasion offered. It is a formidable document of two hundred and twenty-one pages, and a busy congressman might be pardoned reluctance in taking it up for careful study, especially when assured that it was mainly a reenactment of existing laws with slight and unimportant changes. Sections 150 and 152 of the act contain new and important provisions that are manifestly inconsiderate, unjust and needless. They require publishers to pay postage at the rate of one cent for each two ounces on newspapers and periodicals "deposited in a letter-carrier office for delivery by its carriers." The rate of one cent a pound is continued for the transmission otherwise through the mails of newspapers and periodicals. That is, a San Francisco publisher may send copies of his paper to subscribers in Boston at the rate of one cent a pound, while he is required to pay one cent for each copy sent through the post-office to subscribers in his own city. At the same time, persons other than publishers or newsagents may send four ounces of newspapers or periodicals through the postoffice to any address in the United States for one cent. There is no reasonable explanation for this discrimination. Why a publisher should be required to pay one cent postage on each copy of his paper sent to home subscribers, and be allowed to send, on payment of one cent, sixteen papers three thousand miles across the continent for delivery by carriers in a larger city, is a problem without a solution. Why the publisher should be required to pay twice as much as the general public for sending his publication through the mails is still another puzzle, though of less interest. In defense of these provisions of his bill, Representative Loud stated in the Remarkable Bed of Fossils. Near El Toro, Orange county, Cal., on the Rancho Canyada de Los Alisos owned by Dwight Whiting, is perhaps the most remarkable bed of fossils on the Pacific Slope. It consists principally of the casts of bivalve shells, saxidomus gracilis predominating. The deposit is about seven feet thick and the exposure extends along a small canyon and creek about 450 feet, and dips southward, extending a long distance. The northern extremity ends in an abrupt scarp on the south bank of the stream. The opposite bank contains no fossils and probably represents an older tertiary formation. The stratum of shells is capped by yellow sandstone and white shale ranging from five to ten or more feet in thickness. At one place a cut about one hundred feet long and twenty feet wide has been made in the deposit, and several excavations have been made a considerable distance from the exposure, which show no diminution in the fossil remains. In one place the entire head of a shark was found with the teeth intact. These fossil shells have been used for the production of lime, hundreds of tons having been removed for that purpose. They are easily dislodged with picks and loaded into wagon beds with shovels. A peculiarity of the bivalve shells is that they usually lie on their sides, and have petrified whole, that is, both valves are intact. This vast bed of shells shows evidence of having been brought together suddenly when the mollusks died and were afterward covered by the ocean. The over-lying material indicates both deep and shallow water and several subsidence beneath the ocean. About two miles below El Toro station are evidences of an ancient barrier across Alisos creek in tertiary times. This, doubtless, was the southern terminus of an arm of the sea which covered most of the area between the Santa Ana mountains and the high ridge next to the ocean. The former represents the cretaceous age, and it is said that the high ridge is also cretaceous. The inlet continued for untold ages and gradually filled during the subsidies to which it and the whole coast was subjected. It finally became an estuary over-flowed by daily tides and was long a paradise for mollusks, which produced in almost unlimited numbers. But finally a great convulsion rent asunder the barrier referred to and opened away southward eight or nine miles. First-Class Watchmen M.

The much abused suburbanites, from the cartoonists picture as comported to the city every morning from onesomehurst," Lost Man's Lane," unchurst-by-the-Trolley" and other pieces with equally suggestive names, an interesting class of individuals. The transient element of the city's population spends several hours every day whirling over the railroads. When the novelty of these daily bits railroading has passed into the monotony of years of travel through the same country the commuter has turned to make the best of the time spends on the train. The "card fiend" is a prominent figure in this class. Both morning and evening four or five games of cards going on in every smoking car, and is safe to say that thousands of dolls change hands in this "innocent musement" while the players are hurging to or from business. Next to the "card fiend" is the man who only enjoys his cigar and paper. He is oblivious to all his surroundings and only shows animation when he is at his journey's end.

Agts., San Francisco. PROPOSALS. SEALEED PROPOSALS WILL BE RECEIVED by the Clerk of the City of Anaheim, at this office in the City Hall Center street. Anaheim, 10 Tuesday, May 14, 1901, at 8 o'clock p.m.; for doing all the city printing and advertising for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1902. The following is an estimate of the printing needed: One dozen License Receipt books, of 100 receipts each, perforated and numbered. One dozen Water-rate Receipt books, of 100 receipts each, perforated and numbered. One dozen Electric Light receipt books, of 100 receipts each, perforated and numbered. One-quarter dozen Tax Collector Receipt books, of 200 receipts perforated and numbered consecutively. Five hundred (500) Postal Cards relative to Board of Equalization meeting. Five hundred (500) Notices for Assessor's office relative to absent property owners. Five hundred (500) Demands on the City Trasury. Five hundred (500) Postal Cards for Tax Collector's notices. Five hundred (500) Assessment blanks. Warmer and deeper tinge of yellow. This is because the Paris mint, as well as that in London, melts the gold and the copper alloy in hermetically sealed boxes, which prevents the copper from being somewhat bleached, as it always is when it is attacked by hot air. So the present coins have the full warmness of tint that a copper alloy can drive. If the coins of today are not so hand-some in the opinion of amateur collectors as those issued by the first Napoleon, they are superior to those of either of the Napoleons in the fact that it costs less to make them. The double operation of the oxidation of the copper and cleaning it off the surface of the coin with acids is no longer employed, and the large elimination of copper from the surface of the coins, formerly practiced, made them less resistant under wear and tear than are the coins now in circulation. No Keys to White House. In these modern days the front door of the White House is not locked at night. Practically no doors are locked, and if the steward should look around for keys he would probably not find half of those formerly in use. Big policemen are about the only doors at the executive mansion. They guard the main doors at all hours of day and night, and there is no need to close and lock the inner doors. Before President Lincoln's time policemen were rare at the president's home, and when all the clerks and servants had gone home at night the housekeeper went around and carefully locked all the doors inside and outside except to rooms occupied by those going in and coming out—Washington Star.
