JUDGE OSTER has declared the County Government act unconstitutional, holding that the Legislature has not the right to reduce the salaries of Constables and Justices during their terms of office. An upcountry Superior Judge has also held the act to be unconstitutional on another point. If these decisions should be upheld by the Supreme Court, the unconstitutionality of the act would mean that the high salaries adopted for Orange county officials in the Hasson bill would be nullified. Thus, as we said some weeks ago, would good come out of evil. The present salary schedule of Orange county foots up $22,000. This Dr. Hasson's bill (which was incorporated into the new County Government bill) raises to the unheard-of figures of $30,000 and upward. The Santa Ana gang engineering this salary-grabbing scheme through the Legislature, by Dr. Hasson's aid, succeeded in hoodwinking that otherwise shrewd and estimable gentleman, and the measure was put through before the taxpayers of the county had an opportunity of protesting against it. But now that the County Government bill is in prospect of being nullified, what will be the resultant effect upon Orange county? It cannot revert to its present salary schedule, because that has been repealed and superseded by the new bill, which has now in turn been declared invalid. Persons conversant with the subject lean to the opinion that the county will retain the classification of the new bill, having the required population to entitle it to its separate and distinct class, notwithstanding the provisions of the salary part of the bill are declared unconstitutional. In that case incorporation was simply to regulate the liquor question; that two saloons would be licensed at $600 each per year, and that would pay the entire cost of the municipality. It seems to us that the soberminded citizens should think twice before incorporating with such small territorial limits. It is difficult to increase city limits once they are located, and any future taxation for internal improvements must necessarily fall heavily upon taxpayers within so small an area. Moreover, to suppose that $100 will pay all the expenses of the city is erroneous. Three times that amount will probably be nearer the figure to start with. A City Clerk and Assessor, City Marshal and City Recorder must be elected, and these cost money. Let Fullerton incorporate if she desires it, but let her citizens count the cost of it before hastily adopting illy-considered lines, selected for reasons other than that of the greatest good to the greatest number. CHRIS BUCKLEY has come south to groom Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles for the Governorship. Snyder would be a puddin'. In the language of Mr. Stanton of the section gang, "tapioca" is the word. It has been suggested that a Society of Pioneers be formed in Anaheim. The idea is a good one. There are many Pioneers hereabout, and an association of them would insure many a pleasant as well as profitable meeting. Probably a meeting with this end in view will be called at an early date.

Well, here I am in Buffalo, a city of 200,000 inhabitants. Everything is electricity, and it is everywhere—finest electric car system I have ever seen. Well, to go back and look over my trip to the Queen City. We left Los Angeles at 7 p.m., June 3, with thirteen cars and two engines; crossed the Desert, and arrived at Needles at 8 a.m. The only things of interest we saw were several acres of yucca palm in full bloom, which we passed just before entering the Desert, and a grand view of an extinct volcano and its vast lava beds. Mojave Indians were in evidence on every side at the Needles. Had a splendid view of the needle-like mountains, from which Needles derive its name. Crossed the Colorado river on a steel cantilever bridge, 2500 feet long, the center span being 672 feet. The next sight of interest was at Williams, Ariz., and comprised grand mountain scenery. Williams is the junction of the Grand Canyon road. A very large lumber mill is situated here, with large yards full of hard pine lumber. The air is delightful and the grass is beautiful emerald. Flagstaff is most pleasing to the eye Here we saw will rose bushes. This closed day on June 4. On the 5th we reached New Mexico; rather barren country. Crossed Diablo Canyon, meaning "devil's canyon," on a steel bridge, 500 feet long 225 feet to bottom. Saw first flock of pure white sheep at Grants; first andmals since leaving California. Saplenty of skeletons, however, along the road. From here we followed the Rio Grande river valley up to Albuquerque, on each of which the soil is tillled by Mexicans and New Mexico Indians. The latter have many villages of adobe. The land is irrigated with water taken from the river. It divided into small holdings of one quarter to three or four acres. The villages are clean, and some of the houses are two-storied, the second story being reached from the outside by a ladder. The chief product of the soil are grapes, which do finely, and are pruned same as in California. A falfa is the principal hay crop, although some wheat is raised. Saw apricots apple, peach and pear trees in small lots. The ground seems good, of a reddish hue outside of the valley.

In that event, Orange county, being in the twentieth class, will pass into the salary schedule now operative in Placer county, which is lower than that of the Hasson bill by $9000. Under that schedule, the Sheriff receives the princely salary of $6000 per annum, while many of the others receive smaller salaries than are paid the present officials.

Many of the members of the company have sent word that they would be here in their private capacity, but that the company will parade as an organization is to be doubted. "Orange county is plenty large enough for two celebrations," the Santa Ana wiseacres tell us; but, all the same, here is an instance where they deliberately interfere, not only with our celebration, but, at the same time, debar many members of the Talbert company from participation in exercises, invitations to which many of them had previously accepted. What the average lot of these Santa Ana fellows getting up their celebration do not know in the gentle art of breaking one's word, is not worth knowing. They are a scaly lot of fellows, and the better the people of the county know it, the better it will be all around. There will come a time, however, when they will get their just deserts, and all good people will have an opportunity of pulling on the other end of the rope. FULLERTON is talking of incorporating its limits to be confined to a few city blocks, the idea being to draw the lines so that there may be no danger of a prohibition vote. We are informed the extent of the incorporation will be less than half a mile square.

The University of California proposes to offer a special dairy course during the fall of 1901, beginning early in October and continuing for eight or ten weeks. The course will be especially designed for persons who wish to prepare themselves to manage and operate creameries, skimming stations, cheese factories, and such ranch dairies as use modern machinery. The instruction given will consist of practical work in operating dairy machinery, in butter and cheese making, and in testing milk for fat and adulterations. Lectures and recitations will also be given on milk and its various products, breeds of dairy cattle and principles of breeding animals, feeding animals, dairy chemistry, dairy bacteriology and veterinary science. An announcement giving detailed information in regard to the dairy school will be issued about August 1. This announcement will be mailed free to all requesting it upon addressing the College of Agriculture, Berkeley. June 7 followed great drainage canal into Chicopee. This canal is wonderful and cost endless amount of money, as it 66 wide and 30 feet deep. Drives through the solid rock for miles and the material removed makes mountains along. Steel bridges cross it, all bridges for traffic. This canal carries the drainage from Chicago, yet water looks clear. Arrived at the station at 7:30 a.m. Put up at the Western Hotel; weather very cold Saw Lincoln Park with its 400 acres and beautiful drives, many status This is situated on the lake. As look out we see three cribs a mile two out in the lake, where the city lies its water. Chicago river runs through the city with many steel bridges Much traffic by boats. I visited sonic Temple, the highest building in the city, 22 stories high. Four elevators go up to the 19th story, other three you climb by stairs grand sight to look from the top of building and see the city for me around. June 8 left Chicago at 3:30 m over Wabash R.

ITEMS ABOUT IRRIGATION Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, who has developed a strong interest in irrigation, is stated to be preparing a report to the President, endorsing a system of irrigation dams for the arid lands of the West and recommending legislation by Congress along this line. The Western trip made by the Presidential party graphically demonstrated to the members the great need of irrigation dams, and showed the benefits derived from the work already accomplished. It has been further intimated at Washington that in his forthcoming message to Congress the President will recommend an appropriation for the construction of storage reservoirs in the arid West. Secretary Hitchcock is now prepara- ing a lengthy brief on the subject of irrigation legislation; and will, it is stated, recommend a first appropriation for the Gila river dam in Arizona. He is basing his report on the surveys and recommendations of the Geological Survey of his Department. An ingenious plan of storing water for irrigation, where no rivers are available, is pursued by the Russian Government on its great steppes. Dams are constructed across valleys and gullies, thereby forming reservoirs in which rain or melted snow is collected and stored. From these ponds it is an easy matter to run the water to and spread it over lower levels. After all, this is not far different from our own western plan of building storage reservoirs to catch the water of some rivers which at the period of melting snows are torrents, and later only dry sand beds. Irrigation in America is the magic wand which has reclaimed thousands of acres of arid land for the use of the husbandman, and has transformed waste plains into numberless tidy, well kept farms occupied by a happy and contented people; and the art is in its bare incipiency. A recent dispatch from The Hague indicates the enterprise of the Hollanders in the matter of land reclamation. The government, it is stated, has introduced a bill in parliament for the reclaiming of 113,666 acres from the Zuyder Zee, at an estimated cost 95,-000,000 florins. The scheme will add 2,000,000 florins, or about $800,000, to the budget annually for the next fifty years. One of the Presidential party, on the recent Western trip, made the observation upon his return to Washington REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

One of the Presidential party, on the recent Western trip, made the observation upon his return to Washington that the irrigation sentiment in the West was something of an astonishment to all, and that he noticed that any allusion to the subject caused greater applause and enthusiasm than mention of the nation's triumphant arms or our expanding commerce or prosperity, one or all together.

The following resolutions have been passed by the Villa Park Horticultural Club: WHEREAS We, the Villa Park Horticultural Club, believe that the improvement of our roads and the naming thereof is of vital importance to all classes of citizens; and that, as a "farmer" club," we heartily sympathize with the agitation of the subject by the various papers of Southern California; and we also indorse the action of the Los Angeles County Wheelmen on the subject; therefore, Resolved,(1) That we request the Orange County Supervisors to appoint a committee "to arranges the roads for naming, to suggest names, and to report upon the value, the desirability and the cost of having the roads blocked and the houses numbered, with suggestions for beautifying the streets and planting and maintaining suitable shade trees thereon." Also, Resolved,(2) That we invite the other "farmers' clubs" of Orange county to join in in this request, and in such action as may be practical for the systematic improvement of our roads, and such naming, blocking and numbering as will be most beneficial to the general public. Further, Resolved,(3) That all bicycle paths at present existing, or that may hereafter be created, either by public or private enterprise, are entitled to the protection accorded them in other places, and that we deem it the duty of the proper authorities to enact such laws as shall make it a misdemeanor to drive or ride a horse upon them, or intentionally injure them in any manner.

Fifth and Main sts., Santa Ana, California. IMPORTANCE OF IRRIGATION Land in Southern California improved From $20 to $1800 an Acre. Prof. Elwood Mead, former State Engineer of Irrigation of Wyoming, and now expert on irrigation of the Department of Agriculture, testified before the Industrial Commission at Washington some days ago concerning irrigation and its relation to western farming. Prof. Mead believed that irrigation was destined to one day play a leading part in national affairs in the United States. He called attention to the enormous added value that would be given the arid lands of the west by an extensive system of irrigation canals. Until very recently, he said, irrigation had been considered purely sectional, but the experience of the last fifteen years had shown this was a mistaken idea. In southern Louisiana and southeastern Texas an area larger than several of the Eastern States had been increased in value from $2.50 or $5 an acre to $50 and even $100 an acre by means of irrigation. These results indicated that in the course of another decade this country would export instead of import rice. All along the Atlantic seaboard irrigation was becoming an essential factor in market gardening, the regulated application of moisture having been found to be of as much benefit as the use of a fertilizer. In two-fifths of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, the ability to grow crops was dependent upon irrigation. And this was not because the land was arid and devoid of fertility, but solely because of lacked moisture. As soon as water had been applied by irrigation, this same land had become exceedingly productive. Unlimited Appreciation OF THE CALIFORNIA LIMITED Mr. Perkins of Colorado says: "The 'California Limited,' a misnomer, for this train in unlimited in everything that tends to speed, comfort, pleasure and luxury in travel." An appreciative passenger, T. C. PERKINS, Durango, Colo. This Great Train Runs Every Monday and Thursday on the SANTA FE touched, and their waters ran unused to the sea. There was great need, Prof. Mead thought, for an irrigation code, and the growth of irrigation would be greatly hastened by a definition of its status and the enactment of adequate laws. Then it would be time to consider vast projects of too great extent to be undertaken by private enterprise. The Squire and the Summing Up. At a lawyers' dinner in Buffalo one of the best stories told was of Squire Murray, who weighed 300 pounds and who was born in Ireland, was in the whisky business here and held his court on the Terrace. The courtroom was like a courtroom in Ireland. The bench was five feet from the floor, with a chair whose back reached to the ceiling. The trimmings of the room were all green. Mr. Lockwood and Judge Beckwith were trying out a case before the squire. There was no jury. At the close the squire paused. "Do you wish to sum up?" he asked. "I leave it all with your honor," said Mr. Lockwood, who advises young lawyers with a ticklish cause and friendly face on the bench to do likewise. "I'll sum up," said Judge Beckwith. "Very well," replied Squire Murray. "While you're at it I'll slip down in Murray Bros.' and have a drink with Lockwood. But I'll be back before you finish." The squire and Mr. Lockwood went out. The squire was in search of the spirit of the law at the root of the law. Mr. Lockwood thinks they had a drink. On the stairs, half way back to the courtroom, with the echo of Beckwith's NOTICE.

In two-fifths of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, the ability to grow crops was dependent upon irrigation. And this was not because the land was arid and devoid of fertility, but solely because of lacked moisture. As soon as water had been applied by irrigation, this same land had become exceedingly productive. Denver, Salt Lake, Los Angeles and many other towns of lesser importance, Prof. Mead said, were the creation of the irrigation system. Without the winter forage which was grown on the irrigated portions of the stock ranges of the West, the losses of range cattle and sheep would every year be enormous. Owing to the lack of accurate records, it was impossible to determine the number of miles of irrigation canals and the area of the tracts watered by them. There were in Colorado alone 10,000 irrigation ditches, and in Wyoming 6000, and Prof. Mead thought that there were at least 75,000, all told, in the United States, representing an outlay of at least $200,000,000, besides an additional $500,000,000 expended in preparing the land for irrigation, in building fences and erecting dwellings and farm buildings. Land thus improved in Southern California had increased in value from $20 to $1800 an acre. A right to 50 inches of water in California was recently sold for $50,000. The value of water rights in Colorado he estimated at $90,000,000. The arid land that had been reclaimed was vastly less than that remained arid. The Missouri Yellowstone, Snake and Colorado rivers were as yet practically un- "Do you wish to sum up?" he asked. "I leave it all with your honor," said Mr. Lockwood, who advises young lawyers with a ticklish cause and friendly face on the bench to do likewise. "I'll sum up," said Judge Beckwith.

The squire was in search of the spirit of the law at the root of the law. Mr. Lockwood thinks they had a drink. On the stairs, half way back to the courtroom, with the echo of Beckwith's voice sounding in their ears, the squire stopped. "Lockwood," said he, "you've won your case." Then they went in and heard Beckwith finish summing up—Buffalo Express. Methodical Punctuation. Speaking of W. H. ("Coln") Harvey, a Chicago man said: "An amusing incident took place while Harvey was editor of Coln, a paper which he published in Chicago. Harvey, in talking to one of his partners, took exception to the want of punctuation in the paper. 'There isn't enough punctuation,' he complained, and Coln doesn't look right without it. There ought to be a comma once in so often, then so often a colon, and all the rest. Don't you think so?' he wound up appealingly. "'I do, indeed,' heartily replied the partner, who was not wholly devoid of humor. 'That's a great idea of yours, Harvey. If I were you,' he suggested. I'd draw up a rule to that effect.' Harvey thought it over, and the thought commended itself. The next day, therefore, a rule reading somewhat as follows was posted in the office of Coln: 'Hereafter it is the rule of this office that articles appearing in the columns of this paper must be punctuated as follows: Every 12 words shall carry a comma; every three lines a semicolon; every four lines a colon; every five lines a period; exclamation and question marks may be used as heretofore. The employees of this paper will please observe this order.'"—New York Tribune.
