A Santa Ana paper prints a reference to the "60,000 acres of beets on the Alamitos." Perhaps it would be surprised if we should say there is not a single acre of beets at Alamitos, yet that would be in strict conformity to the truth. For there is a great difference between the Alamitos district, in Orange county, and the section known as Los Alamitos, where the Clark sugar mill is located. The Alamitos school district lies north of Garden Grove, and there isn't a beet in sight in that dryest part of Orange county. When the town of Los Alamitos was laid out, its school district was named Laurel, to distinguish it from the Alamitos district. Here is where the beets are—at Los Alamitos, not Alamites. And if the Santa Ana paper should say there were 10,000 acres, instead of six times that acreage, it would be nearer the mark. We doubt if there is half of 60,000 acres of beets in all of Southern California. The death of Ralph Smith, the Santa Ana druggist, in Brea canyon the other day, is as sad as it is distressing and deplorable. He went to the canyon to select a site for a second well to be drilled by the Menges Oil company, in which he was financially interested, the company having struck oil in the first well. For a time it seemed the first well would be a failure. Fourteen thousand dollars had been sunk in the hole, and some of the stockholders were loth to sink more money in it. Mr. Smith persisted, and to his efforts to drill the well deeper its final success was in great part due. A strike of oil was made, and Mr. Smith's perseverance was warmly commended on all sides. While on dom, France, Spain and the United States in 1800 was estimated at $20,-244,640,000, while Mulhall in 1895 estimated their wealth at $195,759,-829,000, or practically ten times that at the beginning of the century. A complete rapproachment between the governments of Austria and Mexico has been brought about and as a result each country will send a Minister to the other. This terminates an international estrangement dating back to the days when young Maxmilian of Austria sought to gain a foothold in Mexico and lost his life in the adventure. A bill has passed the Mexican Congress providing for a Minister to Austria at a salary of $11,000 annually. Austria will take similar action by sending a Minister to Mexico, and this will close the long and historic separation. The Mexican government has taken steps to resume diplomatic communication with South American countries, the first move in that direction being the appointment of a Mexican Minister to the Argentine Republic. For many years there has been no diplomatic intercourse between Mexico and her sister republics on the southern continent, as there was little commerce between them and few political questions requiring diplomatic representations. Recently, however, Argentina made a friendly move by accrediting a Minister to both Washington and Mexico City, and Uruguay has taken similar action. The selection of Mexico City as the place for holding the Congress of American Republics has been a further influence in inducing Mexico to extend her relations with South and Central America. IMPLEMENTS IN A TRUST. Contemplated Combine Which Will Include All the Big Manufacturing Concerns. NEW YORK, April 25.—The Journal of Commerce says: It is learned that Mr. Smith was a courteous and gentlemanly fellow, and had a wide circle of friends throughout the county who regret his untimely taking off. At the very threshold of success in his oil operations, which had claimed so much of his attention the past year, he yielded up his life at the point where he looked for his greatest success. That is what fate had in store for him. He leaves a wife and two children. The removal of Wm. Schwenckert to Los Angeles, even though the change be other than permanent, is cause for regret on the part of his many friends hereabout. Mr. Schwenckert has been a resident of Anaheim for seven years, and during three years of that time has filled the responsible position of member of the City Board of Trustees. He was chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements, and attended with scrupulous exactitude the many details of public work referred to him. No member of the board gave more time to the interests of the municipality, and he was always outspoken in defense of the people's rights. He has accepted a lucrative position with a Los Angeles house, and has leased his home place to Fred Spencer, the lease extending to January, 1903. The tract is planted to young walnut trees, and its owner looks forward to the time when, the trees grown to maturity and yielding their modicum of profit, he will return with his family to pass his declining days under his own vine and fig tree. IMPLEMENTS IN A TRUST. Contemplated Combine Which Will Include All the Big Manufacturing Concerns. NEW YORK, April 25.—The Journal of Commerce says: It is learned that the report from Chicago that plow manufacturers have decided to open a $50,000,000 consolidation is only partly correct, and that the present plans instead of being merely for a consolidation of the plow industry contemplate a consolidation which shall include every branch of the farm machinery trade, with the exception of mowers and reapers. The reported capital of $50,000,000 is said to be a minimum figure. There have been numerous efforts to unite especial branches of the farm machinery trade, but this is the first attempt at a general consolidation. The organizers of the present consolidation argue that a partial union is inherently weak, as it would be an easy matter for other manufacturers to enter that particular branch. But with a general consolidation, it is contended, this incentive to competition would be removed. The new company, if organized on the present lines, will, it is said, be in a position to manufacture all kinds of farm implements from a hoe to a thresher, with the exception above noted of mowers and reapers. Among the largest concerns which are understood to favor the present plan are: Deere & Co., Moline, Ill.; Parlin & Orendorff, Canton, Ill.; Rock Island Plow company, Rock Island, Ill.; Standrad Harrow company, Utica, N.Y.; Syracuse Plow company, Syracuse; Empire Plow company, Cleveland, O.; Hench, Dromgold & Co., York, Pa.; Aultman & Taylor Machinery company, Mansfield, O.; Stoddart Manufacturing company, South Bend, Ind.; Morrison Manufacturing company, Fort Madison, Ia.; Buffalo Pitts company, Buffalo, N.Y.; O. S. Kelly company, Springfield, O.; Kansas City Hay Press company, Kansas City, Mo. It is intended to secure all concerns rated at $100,000 or more. The financial details have not yet been arranged, but it is said that the capital of the new company, if formed, will be divided equally between preferred and common stocks. Good will, etc., is to go in at about one-third the total capitalization. It is estimated that the tangible value of the plants it is intended to consolidate is upward of $35,000,000. Should Not Be Fortified. WASHINGTON, April 29.—In agreeing to insert in the proposed Isthmian canal treaty a provision establishing the neutrality of the projected waterway, Secretary Hay has taken action which meets with the full approval of Admiral Dewey, and the majority of the selection of Mexico City as the place for holding the Congress of American Republics has been a further influence in inducing Mexico to extend her relations with South and Central America. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., April The Presidential train with a train on the pilot of the engine that the Chief Magistrate of that was on board arrived at Charleston on schedule time. The rule Washington was made without dent. A brief stop was made as at the station and the President Mrs. McKinley appeared on the form to make salutes. She through Virginia to this town as the seat of the University of Georgia and the home of Jefferson gathered at every town, village cross roads to see the train go Manassas, Culpepper and Orange crowds were especially large. Train approached Charlottesville party had a glimpse of the old President Madison at Montpellier pillars of the old mansion were discernible through the treetrees there was an assembly at the station. Tenders lined up alongside the tractor gave the President three cheers and a tiger when he made appearance. From the platform car the President spoke as follows: "It gives me very great pleasure receive the greeting of the president Charlottesville and the cheerful young men of the University ginia. (Applause.) Your insistence is linked with great men and deeds and has influenced both pleause.) What an array of names Virginia holds in her dreadful us of lofty patriotism statesmanship and noble achievement (Applause.) To no other State American Union belongs such to preserve and cherish and share amples to inspire and emulate (Applause.) May the young men State of Virginia prove worthy their noble ancestors and contribute the future as they did in their well being and honor and republic. (Great applauses) THIRTY-ONE billion dollars is the aggregate of the national debts of the world at the close of the nineteenth century. This is ten times as much as in the closing years of the eighteenth century, according to expert statisticians of the Treasury bureau devoted to this work. This bureau has just issued a statement on the subject, it apparently being suggested by the recent announcement of the new British loan of $300,000,000. In 1793, at the beginning of the Napoleonic wars, the national debts of the world amounted to approximately $3,500,000,000; in 1900, they were, according to the best information obtainable, $31,000,000,000. In general terms, it may be said that the world's national indebtedness in 1900 aggregated ten times what it did at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Meantime the population has increased 150 per cent, and gold and silver, which form the basis of the money with which debt payments are made, 300 per cent, though the proportion of existing gold and silver which is turned into coin is now much greater than at the beginning of the nineteenth century, while the utilization of various forms of credit as currency may have increased the world's circulating medium quite in proportion to the increase in its national debts. The wealth of the United Kingdom is deceived in this triplet business, and as a necessary precaution he has demanded the certificate of the attending physician along with the affidavit from the parents. THE PRESIDENT STARTS ON HIS TRIP. WASHINGTON, D.C., April 29.—With the cheers of ten thousand people ringing in his ears, the President started his westward tour this morning. The train was thronged by a crowd eager to see him good-bye and god-dened, and the people gathered about when he stepped from his carriage to he could hardly force his way through them to the steps of his car. He reached the station but a few moons before the scheduled time for start. Every one else was already on the train and it was only waiting for the President and his immediate city. A number of friends drove down the station to see the President stay on his journey and they joined the people surging around the train and lent their own farewells to those of the crowd. Mrs. McKinley was escorted to the town by Dr. Rixey, upon whose arm leaned as the President made his way from the carriage to the train. As soon as they were on board McKinley stepped out on the rear platform, while Mrs. McKinley took her at one of the windows, and as she in drew slowly out the President and his wife bowed their acknowledgments to the enthusiastic cheers and wavings that testified to the esteem of the people. The train was scheduled for a start at 10:20 o'clock. The cars had been brought out from the Pullman shops, where they had been refitted and renamed for the trip, and had been standing on a sliding in the train yards when they were rolled into the station holding there was already quite a crowd of people who, determined to pass none of the going away, had come only to see everything that happened. One was allowed to enter the train except those of the Presidential party and their friends, and some of these gained entrance to the Olympia, the President's private car, and decorated the rooms with flowers. Roses, smilax and violets transformed the little apartments so veritable bowers, and the scent of the blossoms flavored the air with a touch of spring. And then the other seek another host, if not more hospitable, less formidable than the one that greeted us here. (Laughter.) It is a happy time for me to visit Lynchburg now, the war over, no exchange of greeting with shot and shell as then, but with the friendly welcome of all the people, which typifies the respect and regard and good will which subsists between all sections of our common country." MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 30.—The presidential party passed through the heart of Dixie today, and at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon reached Memphis on the banks of the Mississippi. This was the first resting place of the tour. After descending the mountains, last night, the train today skimmed along through northern Alabama, and the valley of the Tennessee river, and touched at Corinth, Miss., where General Grant worsted Forrest in his campaign to cut the confederacy in two. The fresh green Southland, with its fruit in full blossom and its infinite variety of wild flowers in the fields and forest, was a great change from the backward spring which the party had left behind at Washington. The heat was rather oppressive, but the weather was not so warm as the President's welcome. The hearty greetings extended to him along the route testified how completely he had captured the hearts of people of Dixie. Confederate veterans at all the stopping places were among the President's most enthusiastic auditors, and that he was impressed with their marks of love and esteem was evident after the brief speeches he made at Untsville, Decatur, Tuscumbia and Cornith. During the morning at the regular hour for the cabinet to assemble, the President summoned his advisors to the observation car and there, behind closed doors, the first cabinet meeting on wheels was held. No important advice had been received from Washington which required action, but the foreign dispatches in the papers were talked over and some of the details as yet undetermined were discussed. At Memphis the party received a wonderful welcome. A committee headed by Senator Carmack met the train at Cornith and escorted the party to this city. A national salute of twenty-one guns, fired from the river bluffs, signalled the approach to the city. At the station Governor McMillan and others, reinforced the greetings to the party. ITEMS ABOUT IRRIGATION The Ganges Canal, the largest irrigation ditch in the world, is 180 feet wide, and 10 feet deep. It carries 6,780 cubic feet per second. This is a Government work. Few people who have never seen an irrigated field have any correct idea of its value. Some think irrigation is only a substitute for rainfall. In truth, rainfall is only a substitute for irrigation. The finest, largest, and most luscious fruit, the best quality of potatoes, vegetables, and cereals are raised upon irrigated lands. And furthermore a crop is assured every year. It is surprising to note the interest the metropolitan papers take in irrigation in the West and the conversion of flood waters which run unchecked to the sea. This should lead to an education of the people in correct lines, and result in beneficial and needed legislation. That it is more and more the subject of editorial comment in the city journals is cause for congratulation. The time should not be far distant when every irrigation possibility will be utilized to the utmost capacity. An ancient civilization has recorded in our Southwest its belief in irrigation, and if any one doubts its value let him read the lesson taught by the ruins of great cities and mighty peoples, once living where now a desert reigns supreme. Until we equal the record of the past, an education is needed in irrigation matters. In the great Empire of China, notwithstanding the vast antiquity of her alphabet and records, the distribution of water by canals dates back into the fabulous period. Forty centuries of recorded history do not describe the methods first in use, which even then were old. Chinese irrigation of to-day, though entailing enormous labor, yields three full crops a year and the soil asks for no interval of rest. A thousand years before the birth of Christ, the Chinese record has it, the monarch Wou-Weng caused to be constructed hydraulic machines of simple design and working, which were successfully used for filling storage reservoirs, and as a consequence agriculture flourished. Some 800 years later, or about 250 B.C., the great Teheng-Ko canal was constructed to divert the waters of the King River by which fully a million acres of acid land were created.

The result would be that getting shaved three or four weeks, or even every day." When they were rolled into the station hiding there was already quite a widow of people who, determined to pass none of the going away, had come only to see everything that happened. One was allowed to enter the train except those of the Presitial party and their friends, and some of these gained entrance to the Olympia, the President's private car, and decorated the rooms of his flowers. Roses, smilax and viros transformed the little apartments so veritable bowers, and the scent of the blossoms flavored the air with a much of spring. And then the other wars were decorated until the train removed a flower garden. About a half hour before the start the members of the party began to arrive. They came in ones and twos and trees, with secretaries and porters and coachmen and baggagemen, with links and parcels and hampers and dises, for, although everything possible had been done to have the property the party safely on board in good one before the start, still late baggage proof against any rule, and traveling without handsatchels is out of the question. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., April 20.—The Presidential train with a tiny flag the pilot of the engine denoting that the Chief Magistrate of the nation is on board arrived at Charlottesville on schedule time. The run from Washington was made without incint. A brief stop was made at Alexdria. A big crowd had assembled the station and the President anpers. McKinley appeared on the platform to make salutes. Speeding through Virginia to this town, famous the seat of the University of Virnia and the home of Jefferson, people athered at every town, village and road roads to see the train go by. At anassas, Culpepper and Orange the bows were especially large. As the train approached Charlottesville the party had a glimpse of the old home of President Madison at Montpellier. The bills of the old mansion were plainly discernible through the trees. At Charlottesville there was an immensesemblage at the station. The students lined up alongside the train and gave the President three rousing beers and a tiger when he made his appearance. From the platform of his or the President spoke as follows: "It gives me very great pleasure to receive the greeting of the people of Charlottesville and the cheers of the young men of the University of Virginia.

(Great applause.) Let young gentlemen that At Memphis the party received a wonderful welcome. A committee headed by Senator Carmack met the train at Cornith and escorted the party to this city. A national salute of twenty-one guns, fired from the river bluffs, signalled the approach to the city. At the station Governor McMillan and others, reinforced the greetings to the party. A military parade, with a company of grizzled confederate veterans, in their old uniforms, acting as the guard of honor, escorted the party in carriages through the principal streets and around the custom house, whence a view of the Mississippi, now almost overflowing on the Arkansas side, was obtained, to Court Square. The city was elaborately decorated with flags and bunting. Not a residence or business house seemed to have escaped from the desire to decorate in honor of the President's coming. Banners were stretched across the streets bearing such inscriptions as "Mr. President, the city is yours;" "The Nation's President." The cheering through which the procession passed was tremendous at points along the route. In Court Square, where the reception took place, the platform was so hedged around with roses and other blossom as to make a flower show. Over 10,000 people were packed into the square when the President was introduced to Mayor Williams. In response to the cheers which greeted him the President made the first really notable speech of his trip. His theme was the resistless power of a great, united people, and was delivered in his best vein. When he referred, in closing, to the noble record of the Tennessee volunteers in the Spanish and Philippine wars, Governor McMillan led the cheering. The President said in part: "I reciprocate the sentiments of good will and fraternity expressed by your honored mayor and shown in the cordial reception on the part of the people of Tennessee: I don't misinterpret this demonstration: I do not appropriate it, but accept it in its true spirit, and recognize its true significance to our common country. It is representative of that good feeling happily existing between the people of the United States, which is not bound by state, political or geographical lines. It is not perfunctory or superficial, but deep and heartfelt. It is hearty, honest sentiment of honest people, loving their country and proud of its institutions, and determined that both shall be maintained. It is powerfully influencing our national life and development, and completing that unification so essential to national security and so indispensable to our national strength and influence. What mighty, resistless power for good is a united nation of free men. It makes greater than at any time in the world's history. Irrigation has already achieved miracles in the Far West and it is only in its beginning. Millions and millions of people will find beautiful homes on what are now arid plains. Water will make the deserts bloom like a Garden of Eden, just as it has at Anaheim and other places in California.

Bad For the Business "Yes, I had to let him go," replied the boss barber to the regular customer when the latter asked an explanation of the absence of his pet barber. "Why?" "Well, he insisted on raising whiskers." "Raising whiskers? Great Scott! Isn't this a free country, where a man may raise whiskers if he so chooses?" "Yes, this is a free country, and a man can do pretty much as he likes, but there's one thing we can't do and work for me, and that's it." "Why do you object?" "For three reasons.

Sometimes this works out the man's career in a manner quite incomprehensible to him. For instance, Night Watchman Brown is shifted without cause that he can fathom from one division to another. How should he know that rumors of trouble in that division have reached the presidential ear and that he himself, being down in the president's little book as a speaker of weight and a counselor of conservative methods, has been shifted over to act as unconscious agent in checking a dangerous tendency?

Members of It In Every Department From Yardmen Up—Curious Complications When Spotters Unknown to One Another Cross Lines. "Probably the most perfect spotter system achieved by any private corporation," says S. H. Adams in Alnlee's, "is that of one of the big eastern railroads, which is to some extent modeled on the secret service system Some of the admiring coworkers of the head of this system declare that in two minutes' reference to his collected funds of information he can unroll the family history of the woman who washes the windows of car No. 41144X and tell whether, in her estimation, he himself is an oppressor of the downtrodden or a perfect gentleman. "Where so many invisible lines radiate from the same office it is inevitable that some of them should cross. Curious complications result from contact between spotters as unknown to each other as they are to those whom they watch. "Several years ago at a time of general labor troubles a certain railroad got no less than five reports from its confidential men informing them that an employee who was several degrees higher in the secret service of the road than any of them, had they but known it, had been making incendiary speeches. "This was true. Matters had so shaped themselves that the man accused had to appear as a radical in order to gain admittance to inner councils where the important questions would be finally decided. To the chagrin of the authorities they were obliged to transfer him. Had they not done so the suspicions of the men who make the reports would have been aroused. That spotters should know each other as such is held to be highly undesirable. There is always the chance that they might work in conjunction instead of acting as checks on each other."

Some of the admiring coworkers of the head of this system declare that in two minutes' reference to his collected funds of information he can unroll the family history of the woman who washes the windows of car No. 41144X and tell whether, in her estimation, he himself is an oppressor of the downtrodden or a perfect gentleman. "Where so many invisible lines radiate from the same office it is inevitable that some of them should cross. Curious complications result from contact between spotters as unknown to each other as they are to those whom they watch. "Several years ago at a time of general labor troubles a certain railroad got no less than five reports from its confidential men informing them that an employee who was several degrees higher in the secret service of the road than any of them, had they but known it, had been making incendiary speeches. "This was true. Matters had so shaped themselves that the man accused had to appear as a radical in order to gain admittance to inner councils where the important questions would be finally decided. To the chagrin of the authorities they were obliged to transfer him. Had they not done so the suspicions of the men who make the reports would have been aroused. That spotters should know each other as such is held to be highly undesirable. There is always the chance that they might work in conjunction instead of acting as checks on each other."

RAILROAD SPOTTERS. THE SECRET SERVICE THAT ONE BIG SYSTEM MAINTAINS. Members of It In Every Department From Yardmen Up—Curious Complications When Spotters Unknown to One Another Cross Lines. "Probably the most perfect spotter system achieved by any private corporation," says S. H. Adams in Ainslee's, "is that of one of the big eastern railroads, which is to some extent modeled on the secret service system of some of the eastern governments, though by no means so complex. "So far reaching and so direct, however, are its lines of communication that the president of the organization is himself kept constantly informed of the trend of affairs and the changes of sentiment among the employees of every division and subdivision of the whole railway system, and that without the knowledge of any other persons but his own special corps of clerks and secretaries. "Nobody but himself knows the entire personnel of the wonderful service that he has perfected. His agents are drawn from every branch of the road's operating staff. They are engineers, freight brakemen, passenger trainmen, conductors, signalmen, yardmen, station agents, track walkers and even division officials. Should that road have a strike—and strikes are far less likely to occur than they were before the present system was put into operation—the president will have detailed warnings of it from all the storm centers long before the first mutterings find cautious utterance in the newspapers. "While it also acts as a defense against thefts by employees, this system is intended primarily to prepare, so to speak, a diary of the disposition, character, working efficiency and sentiments toward the road of the men who constitute the vast human machinery of the corporation. The feeling which culminates in a general strike is not the result of one act alone, but a slow growth made up of many grievances, real or fancied. "To keep track of the shifting mental attitude of his employees is the aim of this railroad president. If a certain division superintendent has made him know more about books? "Madam, we don't dare be intellectual, for customers would ask us so many questions that we couldn't make any sales."—Chicago Record. To a youth of 20 middle age is from 40 to 45.

There was likewise at this same time also a Violet whose modesty was a matter of universal comment. "What is your system," asked the Bathing Suit, accosting the Violet, "for I would fail be thought modest too?" "Why, I shrink," quoth the Violet, meaning no harm. But when the Bathing Suit shrunk in pursuance of this hint it was only reprehended the more and was finally cast away as being quite impossible.—Detroit Journal. To Rest Her Mind. "Your little birdle has been very, very ill," she wrote to the young man. "It was some sort of nervous trouble, and the doctors said I must have perfect rest and quiet and that I must think of nothing. And all the time, dear George, I thought constantly of you." The young man read it over and then read it through again very slowly and put it in his pocket and went out under the silent stars and kept thinking and thinking and thinking. He only kept on thinking.—London Answers. Unconscious Humor. "You mustn't fall to come to church next Sunday," said the Rev. Dr. Thirdly. "I have arranged to have the Rev.
