Several hundred cases of apricots part of a carload received from Maryville, Cal., were found by Salt Lake fruit inspectors to be badly infected with San Jose scale. The fruit, which was on sale at several stores, was ordered immediately destroyed. The pest has already made its appearance in Box Elder county, one of the richest fruit growing regions of Utah, where the State authorities are endeavoring to stamp it out, and as a result of last week's discovery rigid inspection will be made of every box of fruit coming into the State. Inspector J. O. Reed of the Montana state board of horticulture reports that examination of fruit shipments arriving from California shows the fruit to be in an exceedingly bad condition, and fruits, especially prunes, being affected with San Jose scale. The condition existing are so seriously represented that it is possible some embargo against the inspected stock will be necessary to protect Montana orchards. The Latest Yarn.

CALIFORNIA IS SLOW, SAYS SECRETARY WILSON, Head of the Department of Agriculture Makes Pointed References After His Trip to the Coast. Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, has often been called the business end of the McKinley Administration. No man in the Cabinet possesses finer analytical ability upon domestic questions. Wherever he goes he is sure to bring back with him valuable conclusions regarding business opportunities of the country through which he has traveled. A year ago he made an extended trip through the Puget Sound country, and his trip with the President through California has given him a view of the entire Pacific Coast. Mr. Wilson is enthusiastic about California and he believes the state may be made a magnificent domain far surpassing its present standing. "When we come to the consideration of the State of California I shall have to say some things that will make your people mad. It is today what Californians claim to be—the greatest State in the Union. It presents the greatest opportunity to its people—and I am talking now about the people of the soil, who are the people upon which all States must finally depend for their prosperity. I hold to the theory that the soil is the source of all wealth, and whoever wastes the soil wastes the real foundation of the wealth of the State. In the matter of soil, of climate, California is the peer of any State, and in no State in the Union, in no country on earth, I suppose, is the opportunity offered by the soil being wasted at the rate that it is being wasted in California. Why is it that the State of California educates none of its young men in the art of getting what is in the soil out of it? From this department today men are in California studying the forests, the water supply, the grasses, the wealth following the pursuit of stamp collecting as a pastime who would not hesitate to pay $1000 to secure a copy. Only once hitherto have the United States undertaken to issue a series of stamps in two colors—in 1869. This series comprised denominations from 1 cent to 90 cents, only the denominations of 15, 24, 30 and 90 being printed in two colors. At the time of this issue a sheet of each of the two colored denominations, save the 90 cents, was printed with a central picture inverted. These stamps are exceeding rare and fine copies sell at $500 and upward. During the past winter a sheet of common one-cent stamps, with the word "Guam" printed across the face slipped through the bureau with the word "Guam" printed upside down. Just how many of these stamps are in the hands of collectors cannot be ascertained, but they are held at fancy prices and few offers at any price. In 1873, when each department of the Government service used its own distinctive set of stamps, instead of penalty envelope, an error was made by the Continental Bank Note company, then having the Government contract for postage stamps. The regular color of the Navy Department stamps was blue, and in some way a sheet of the two-cent denomination was printed in green. These errors of color are held at $40 each, while the same stamp in correct color sells for about 40 cents. The American Bank Note company, in printing the Columbia series of stamps, made a similar error, a sheet of the four-cent value, which was in utramarine shade of blue, having been printed in the steel blue shade of the one-cent value. The entire sheet was captured by a stamp collector. Single copies now sell at about $30 at auction. N. Y. Sun. Graves of Soldiers. Mrs. S. E.

Ellis of Santa Ana, who was last week elected Grand Inside Guard of the Companions of the Forest at San Francisco, spent considerable time while in that city in searching for a clew which would result in locating the remains of Mathew and Peter Ryan, who went from this county to the Philippines, and who were killed in battle on March 27, 1899, within fifteen minutes of each other. Mrs. Ellis's efforts were rewarded by finding that the bodies of both had been returned to California and that they were buried side by side at the Presidio at San Francisco. A sister of the dead, Mrs. Henry Measor, lives south of Santa Ana, near the Delta school-house, and their father resides on a ranch south of the city. Both sister and father learned through the Press dispatches that the boys had fallen while facing the foe, but neither of them knew what became of the bodies. They are, consequently, consolled to learn that their bones rest on American soil. Who commands at Pescara?" he asked a soldier. There are two." What is the grade of the chief in command?" A brigadier general." His name? De Pietramaggiore." His title? A marquis." His age? About 70." Is he well preserved? Does he keep his color? He is thin and pallid." Is his voice strong and many?" It is weak and dull." Is he lively, gay?" Neither the one nor the other." What does he wear on his head?" He is powdered, and his hair is done in locks." Has he boots and spurs?" No; he wears silk stockings, shoes and great buckles." Great buckles! cried Duhesme. Bring up the guns and begin firing! The place is mine! An Excuse For a Pardon.

That is to say Newberry claims comes from seep from irrigation is here shown to from rainfall; hence we may claim of a large supply from turn irrigation as fairly dispensed.The point, too, that all the availabie water has long been used to a beneficial use by the wi irrigating systems within the oi of the stream seems to be igby this claimant. He also see be dominated by the hallucination STAMPS TO LOOK OUT FOR Pan-American Twos Found With the Express Train Upside Down. It has been discovered that a sheet of the new Pan-American series of stamps, of the two cent denomination, was printed with the picture of the express train upside down. This sheet was in the package shipped to the Post-master at Brooklyn, and the stamps were retailled out without the error having been discovered. One of the purchasers, who had secured ten of the stamps, noticed the capsized express as he was about to affix one to a letter and immediately sent one to the bureau of engraving and printing at Washington making complaint. Through the bureau the news of the inverted train came to the ears of a stamp collector, who instantly saw visions of a rarity of the very first water. It is said that this collector, or his representative, went to Brooklyn and after some negotiations secured four of the ten inverted trains. It appears that the purchaser had used four of the stamps, given away two and for the remaining four received $20 each. Could he have secured the whole sheet, his profits would have amounted to $1993 on an investment of $2. It is understood that the Washington man who paid $20 each for the stamps has refused an offer of double that amount. Just what price will ultimately be received for the six copies known to be in existence cannot be foretold. This is dependent upon several contingencies. If there should never be more than those six copies, the holders would be able to get their own price, as there are men of great importance while she was taking the course and she accepted it, and will be in Washington in the fall. He declares he is having letters all the time from people who want to get young men skilled in the science of agriculture, and who are willing to pay $1500 or $1600 a year for such men. He can't find any such men out of a job anywhere, but he can find plenty of young doctors and lawyers and dentists who are looking for jobs at low a salary as $900 a year, and can't get them at that.

AN EXCUSE FOR A PARDON. When the stern Duke of Wellington was prime minister under George IV, he managed the old monarch easily enough, but when he attempted the same tactics with the young Queen Victoria he met his match. She constantly outwitted him. One of his earliest official acts was to bring before her a court martial death sentence which he expected her to sign as a matter of course. A soldier was to be executed for desertion, and as the death warrant was placed before the queen by the duke she raised her eyes, full of tears, to his face, saying: "Have you nothing to say in behalf of this poor man?" "Nothing," said the duke, standing at attention like one of his own privates; "he has deserved three times." "Oh, your grace, think again," pleaded the queen as if she were asking for the life of her dearest friend. "Well, your majesty, he certainly is a bad soldier, but there was somebody who spoke for his good character. He may be a tolerably good fellow in civil life." "Oh, thank you," said the queen in heartfelt tones, and before the astonished duke could utter a word of protest she had written across the paper the word "Pardoned."

The watershed of the San Gabriel range with its 225 square miles, and that of San Bernardino range with its 1150, could not supply the water that is used by the upper irrigationists, they tell us, much less the copious supplies that bubble up from somewhere to water the lands below; but they do." With, then, no other source of supply but the rainfall to draw on, and with the two facts well established, that the entire net proceeds of that rainfall have long been put to a beneficial use, and that, in any case, such proceeds do not equal Newberry's appropriations, how is he to realize on his claims? Of course a much larger temporary supply might be developed, at great expense, from the past accumulations, just as a man might draw all his deposits from the bank at one time; but the figures of the rainfall, for a long period of years, show conclusively that the supply would soon be exhausted. It is also true that some of the surface drainage might be stored in reservoirs; but Newberry has no reservoir sites nor any such plans in his mind. His scheme is to "develop" that which does not and cannot exist and failing in that, to seize upon the rights of others. LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST More Resolutions. At the annual picnic of the Ponoma Farmers' club at Cucamonga some days ago, the following resolutions concerning the system of marketing oranges were unanimously passed: WHEREAS, There appears in a Los Angeles paper a local news item from Placentia, which item has a double column display head worded in such a manner as to create the impression that there is a general demand for the f. o. b. system in preference to the selling delivered plan; and WHEREAS, We, fruit growers here assembled from Pomona, Claremont, La Verne, San Dimas, Corona and Glendora, have hitherto believed the said paper to be free and impartial in its additude on questions involving the citrus industry; and WHEREAS, The said head is very unusual for a local item in that paper: therefore be it Resolved, That we bespeak of this paper (the Times) a fair and unbiased presentation of all the facts, arguments and news offered in said discussion and presented in such a manner not calculated to prejudice its readers in favor of a proposition championed almost solely by E. T. Earl. The following resolution was also unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, There has been considerable discussion and some criticism from certain parties regarding the method of marketing citrus fruits followed by the Southern California Fruit Exchange; and WHEREAS, In a Los Angeles paper there appears a report that the Fullerton Farmers' club, at its meeting held last Saturday, recommeded the return to f.o.b. marketing by the Southern California Fruit Exchange; therefore be it Resolved, By the Ponoma, Claremont, San Dimas and Glendora farmers' clubs, represented at this meeting, that these clubs, representing nearly two thousand carloads of citrus fruits, do most thoroughly indorse the selling-delivered plan now followed by the Southern California Fruit Exchange, and would consider a return to the f.o.b. method the past accumulations, just as a man might draw all his deposits from the bank at one time; but the figures of the rainfall, for a long period of years, show conclusively that the supply would soon be exhausted. It is also true that some of the surface drainage might be stored in reservoirs; but Newberry has no reservoir sites nor any such plans in his mind. His scheme is to "develop" that which does not and cannot exist and failing in that, to seize upon the rights of others. The foregoing figures clearly demonstrate the utter impracticability of what the Corona Courier calls "a mighty irrigating and power system;" and if there are no other obstacles in the way of success, the scant rainfall in the drainage basin of the Santa Ana river would eventually wreck the enterprise. But there are other obstacles a plenty, as Newberry will find before he pockets any profits from his get-rich-quick scheme.—Orange Post. American Beet Sugar.

He says: "Statistics show that Spain, Italy and the Balkan States not only produced all the sugar needed for their home markets, but they also began to export to a small extent; that Egypt, which, up to a few years ago, used to import annually 50,000 tons from Austria, is now exporting large quantities to the United States and India, so the best outlets for sugar are those in the far East. Exports of sugar from Austria-Hungary to East India and Japan in 1900 showed an increase over previous years; but Japan passed a law which went into effect April 1 of this year, providing for a consumption tax which will reduce the demand for sugar, and eventually lead to the establishment of sugar refineries there. "The only consolation, it appears, the Austrian dealers in sugar have is that there is no prospect of abolishing the export premiums paid by Germany, Austria and France. Austria is opposed to the abolition of this tax, because France is the main importer, and especially in refined sugar to England. It is surprising that the United States, with it millions of acres of virgin soil and improved machinery, has as yet such comparatively small acreage planted in sugar beets, and so few sugar factories." A Failure In Coopering. A certain man who was once a prominent Kentucky politician was more a demagogue than a statesman. He was, according to Short Storles, in the habit of boasting that his father was a cooper in an obscure town in the state—that he was "one of the people" and didn't belong to the "kid gloved aristocracy." Work is now well under way on surveying, grading, track laying and bridge work on the new line, and in addition the line between Salt Lake and Uvada is receiving great attention. As soon as rail can be secured, some new track will be laid between Juab and Milford. The Short line, like other roads, is having trouble in securing citrus fruits followed by the Southern California Fruit Exchange; and WHEREAS, In a Los Angeles paper there appears a report that the Fullerton Farmers' club, at its meeting held last Saturday, recommended the return to f.o.b. marketing by the Southern California Fruit Exchange; therefore be it. Resolved: By the Ponoma, Clarémont, San Dimas and Glendora farmers' clubs, represented at this meeting, that these clubs, representing nearly two thousand carloads of citrus fruits, do most thoroughly indorse the selling-delivered plan now followed by the Southern California Fruit Exchange, and would consider a return to the f.o.b. method as disastrous and of incalculable financial damage to citrus fruit growers. Naftzger Gives Testimony. A. H. Naftzger, president and general manager of the Southern California Fruit Exchange, with headquarters at Los Angeles, was before the Industrial Commission at Washington some days ago. The association is purely co-operative, and is in no respect of the nature of a trust. It had been organized to avoid the uncertainties and irregularities of dealing through the commission men, by which process many of the growers had been ruined. The organization handles 50 per cent of the citrus fruit of Southern California, and has been able to maintain a steady influence upon prices. It makes no effort to control production, but members bind themselves to allow the exchange to control their entire production. The railroads, Naftzger said, no longer give rebates, but he was trained to prefer the steady rates. Naftzger said that California ships 50,000 carloads of fruit annually, and asserted that many carloads had been lost last season because of the shortage of cars. He said California fruit-growers favored the Isthmian Canal, and he took positive grounds against the French and Jamaica reciprocity treaties. Union Pacific. The western railway world is excited over the move of the Union Pacific to complete the Los Angeles extension. A carload of engineers was a few days ago rushed from Omaha by special engine, and it is understood they left with orders to have the track to Los Angeles ready for trains by January 1, 1902. This means fast work, as a gap of 300 miles remains. The reason the location of the entire line will take some months to complete is owing to the modern demands of engineering. The old Union Pacific survey will be largely adhered to, and the right of way will be the same, but nowadays the gradient and curvature must be considerably less than that allowed ten years ago. For this reason two large surveying parties are in the field for the purpose of securing a line which will greatly reduce grades and curves, as shown in the former survey. Work is now well under way on surveying, grading, track laying and bridge work on the new line, and in addition the line between Salt Lake and Uvada is receiving great attention. As soon as rail can be secured, some new track will be laid between Juab and Milford. The Short line, like other roads, is having trouble in securing citrus fruits followed by the Southern California Fruit Exchange; and A Failure in Coopering. A certain man who was once a prominent Kentucky politician was more a demagogue than a statesman. He was, according to Short Stories, in the habit of boasting that his father was a cooper in an obscure town in the state—that he was "one of the people" and didn't belong to the "kid gloved aristocracy." The "general's" great failing being his fondness for liquor, it will surprise no one to be told that the more he drank the more loudly he declaimed his political sentiments and the prouder of being the son of a cooper he became. During a political campaign, where his opponent was the southern orator, Tom Marshall, he had been unusually noisy and offensive in his boasting regarding his obscure origin. In reply, Marshall said, looking hard at the general: "Fellow citizens, my opponent's father may have been a very good cooper. I don't deny that; but I do say, gentlemen, that he put a mighty poor head into that whisky barrel." Real Nice Bathing. It may be doubted if a tub bath in Jamaica is a luxury. The bathhouses make a brave show in a row of low brick buildings in the rear of the hotels, each little house with a big stone tank for a bathtub. I went out to see the baths on my first day in Kingston and was surprised to see a sign nailed against the wall bearing the words: "Gentlemen Are Requested Not to Use Soap In the Baths." Why are gentlemen requested not to use soap in the baths? I asked the hotel clerk, a dignified young woman of dark complexion. Because it soils the water and makes it unpleasant for the next bather," she said. But do your guests all bathe in the same water? I asked. Oh, yes," she replied. "You see, the tanks are so large and the pipes are small. It takes all night to fill the tanks, and the water has to last all day."
