MUSIC CO. Santa Ana, California. finest stock of sta- and confectionery CONRAD'S RENT GOES UP, AND NO FOOLISHNESS Spoke Untruthfully of His Landlord, and Now His Rent Will Be Raised $5 Per Month. When Henry Kroeger read the GAZETTE last Thursday morning he was the warmest man in town. He saw himself therein portrayed in an unfavorable light, and all because of the scheming of an unprincipled saloon-keeper. He was hot clear up to the roots of his hair. He had just read the report of the City Trustees' meeting, in which one F. Conrad had represented to the board that, since it had ordered that his sa-loon must be maintained in its present place, and that his license would not be permitted to be carted about from place to place, his landlord had raised his rent. How much the raise was he did not deign to say; but he argued that his grasping landlord having sought to turn the action of the board to sordid purposes, its order should be rescinded, as a rebuke to him. The avaricious landlord referred to was Mr. Kroeger. So, when he read the paper and saw what his tenant was saying of him, and all of it a vile untruth and insinuation against his integrity, he was, as we say, the warmest man in Anaheim. He came down town immediately, and about the first thing he heard was: "How about raising Conrad's rent?" "That statement by Conrad is a bare-faced falsehood. I decline to be placed in such an equivocal light before the people of this city, and repudiate the statement attributed to me. I did not raise his rent, nor have I said or done anything which would give him the least shadow of right to make such a false statement. In fact, the lease of my building was made out for three years at $20 per month; and Conrad IRRIGATION ITEMS. GovernmentSurveys—Increase of Population—Destroys the Source. The Geological Survey is making surveys of reservoir sites in various sections of the arid region. There are many fine opportunities for mountain storage of the waters now wasted in floods, as every western man knows—storage which would later render barren plains and valleys fertile and smiling with crops and dotted with small homes. Against the time when this saving of a valuable commodity must be undertaken, the determination of the best reservoir sites should be made and the sites, with their adjacent drainage basins, should be reserved for such use. This work the hydrographers of the Survey have been engaged upon for some ten years, and hundreds of great natural basins, lacking only dams to be converted into lakes, have been surveyed and reserved by the Government. This is work of the utmost importance to the future of the West and of the whole country, and it should be vigorously prosecuted In the West water is the measure of lard values. It is essential that these sites and their accompanying watersheds should be preserved from deforestation and misuse. Conservative people who have thought the estimates that the western half of the United States would support 50,000,000 if its irrigable lands were all reclaimed, to be extravagant and visionary should not lose sight of the fact that large centers of population result from dense agricultural communities. It is generally admitted that 75,000,000 or 100,000,000 acres of highly productive land can yet be reclaimed through irrigation. Probably more than this acreage can be eventually cultivated since new sources of underground and other water supply SUCCESS OF RURAL FREE DEVELOPMENT Small Appropriations Made and Now Increased to Million Dollars Annually. The following article describes the success of rural free devel- opment from the pen of Charles H. G. M. A., Editorial clerk, division- lications, in the Yearbook department of Agriculture, just after The system of free delivery at the farm homestead is developed in the United States by great success is commonly known as "Rural livery." The first routes be- name were established on October 1896 at Halltown, Uvilla, and town W. Va. Others started and by the close of the fiscal experiment showed satisfactory There were 44 routes in the 1897; this number increased to 1898, and on November 1, jumped to 634. These radiated distributing points and served a nation of 452,735 persons. On 1900, a little more than six later, the number of routes b- to 1214 for a population of 875 in the next four months tha- again more than doubled its tions, showing on November 2551 routes for 1,801,524 per there were also at that date 22 cations for the establishment routes. The whole of the Union is now laid out in four divisions: inauguration and maintenance service, and the work is going with steadily increasing volume.

OSEPH BACKS, ertaker and Embalmer Santa Ana, California. He came down town immediately, and about the first thing he heard was: "How about raising Conrad's rent?" "That statement by Conrad is a bare-faced falsehood. Idecline to be placed in such an equivocal light before the people of this city, and repudiate the statement attributed to me. I did not raise his rent, nor have I said or done anything which would give him the least shadow of right to make such a false statement. In fact, the lease of my building was made out for three years at $20 per month; and Conrad came to me pleading poverty, and said he could not pay that price. I cut the rent down to $15, although a storeroom not a dozen steps away, of the same size as mine, pays $25 per month. "Now, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Since Conrad has so maliciously lied about me, I am going to make him pay for his fun. I am going to make him pay me $20 a month rent, instead of $15." And the old gentleman, who is one of Anahefm's Ploneers, standing high in the estimation of the community, wended his way to locate the man who sought to turn a trick for himself by lying about him. Conrad desires to change the location of his saloon to some point on Los Angeles street, his theory being that as soon as he vacates his present quarters, he may prevail upon the City Trustees to issue another license for the place, and in that event have two saloons handling his beer instead of one. But in this scheme he will be defeated. When he asked for a license to open a gin-mill on Los Angeles street, near the new Southern Pacific depot, a year ago, such a storm of protest arose from the residents of the locality that his application for a license was withdrawn. The City Trustees are, moreover, on record as being opposed to granting any more saloon licenses in the city, so it is to be doubted whether another license would be granted. The city has nine saloons, including one at the brewery, each paying a monthly license of $10. Instead of increasing their number, the purpose of the better class of the community is to weed the more objectionable of them out. Importing Walnuts. The Pacific Commercial Museum, in San Francisco, has received through the State Department valuable information concerning the condition of the foreign nut market, into which California may enter more largely than ever before as a competitor. The most important of the letters received is one from Consul Skinner at Marseilles. He writes that the exports of walnuts to the United States are confined almost exclusively to nuts grown in the interior of country. The trade is in the hands of the commission houses. Their business has been injured by the practice of American importers, who deal with the growers directly and who assume all risks of unsatisfactory delivery. Concerning Persian walnuts, about Conservative people who have thought the estimates that the western half of the United States would support 50,000,000 if its irrigable lands were all reclaimed, to be extravagant and visionary should not lose sight of the fact that large centers of population result from dense agricultural communities. It is generally admitted that 75,000,000 or 100,000,000 acres of highly productive land can yet be reclaimed through irrigation. Probably more than this acreage can be eventually cultivated since new sources of underground and other water supply are being continually discovered, while at the same time the utilization of water is being reduced to a much more economical and scientific basis. Ent the occupation of any great tract of land by small farmers and fruit growers means the development of cities and towns innumerable. Denver, for instance, is a good sized city, which derives its support largely from irrigation enterprises. It is a product of irrigation, and there are hundreds of other such centers, all of which would develop enormously in population with a comprehensive system of irrigation an established fact. This the population of the arid region may be destined to an increase far beyond what the actual increase in western cultivatable acreage might indicate. The change in the face of nature caused by the destruction of the mighty forests of Lebanon has permanently involved the entire region involved. The Judean valley was rendered arid, and Palestine to-day can support but few people because her water courses have been dried up, for the great trees which sheltered the snows and kept the pitiless sun from reaching into the heart of the springs have been destroyed utterly, and are without successors. Homeward. After a day of toil in the field, factory, counting room or office, tired men and women turn toward home with glad steps. It is the one spot on earth that leads the heart and lures the affections with changeless constancy. The paths that reach up to its threshold are rough and repellent, or smooth and inviting by reason of the character and aims of those who make them. It is delightful to go home in the shelter and shade of great trees of one's own planting. Their benigniant arms stretch out above us, their foliage shields from summer sun with tranquil care and the leaves murmur benedictions. With paths thus embowered and flowers blooming on either side, home-going is a special privilege. The elms and stately pines whisper greetings and with the fragrance of blossoms are as human welcome to the weary who walk in such pleasant places. The tulip, the crocus, the fleur de lis, the peony, the rose and the yucca, each in season gladdens the eye and with gorgeous colors and luxuriant growths embellishes the road that ends at the blessed home. But the flowers perish each autumn and the seared leaf drifts forestation and misuse.

The trade is in the hands of the commission houses. Their business has been injured by the practice of American importers, who deal with the growers directly and who assume all risks of unsatisfactory delivery. Concerning Persian walnuts, about which Californians desired to have questions asked, Consul-General Skinner writes that they are not known in France as a local produce. Considerable quantities of shelled Levantine walnuts which grow in Turkey are imported by France and are consumed in the walnut oil trade. As the French walnuts command a higher price than do the Levantine nuts, quantities of the Levantine nuts are sent to the districts where the French walnuts are grown in large quantities, that they may be used in making nut oil. The walnuts grown near Marseilles are small and there is no attempt to export them. The exportation of nuts from Marseilles last year amounted to $400,000 in round figures. Almonds, which represented a value of $238,000, led the list, with walnuts second, valued at $140,000. "The production of walnuts in California," writes the Consul-General, "is much discussed in France, but the market in Marseilles has not been affected by the California walnuts." The reverse is the case in the matter of almonds. While the French almond, the Princess, is of high quality, the California almonds have been sufficiently excellent to replace the French article largely, and the Marseilles trade has been very much injured in consequence. And so this strange mystery called life is only a path leading homeward. In it all the generations are going. From the cradle to the grave is only a little journey and it is better to try and make it along paths pleasant with trees and flowers. Like them, man has his spring time, summer and winter and like them may he not live again and again? Why not make this journey with smiles and embellish it with kind-heartedness, as the walks which lead up to our earthly homes are adorned with foliage, flower and fruits? At the end of the work day, up the avenue, bordered with bloom and cooled with leaves, how beautiful, restful and inviting the dear home stands with open door to receive us. And why not walk through life that we may feel certain of an eternal home whence the arms of the loved and lost are held out to us as we finish our final home-going at the end of this world-journey? We are all going home and the day is not long away where somebody shall say, "all those who were traveling these roads when the century began, have gone home." We may choose paths fringed either with thorns and thistles or garnished with fair flowers and beautiful trees. And the road to the home in this world or the way to a home in the next, is as we make it by our thoughts, acts and character.—Conservative. Piano For Sale.

The following article dealing with the success of rural free delivery is from the pen of Charles H. Greathouse, M.A., Editorial clerk, division of publications, in the Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture, just received. The system of free delivery of mail at the farm homestead is developing in the United States by great strides. It is commonly known as "Rural free delivery." The first routes bearing this name were established on October 1, 1896, at Halltown, Uvilla, and Charlestown, W. Va. Others started at once, and by the close of the fiscal year the experiment showed satisfactory results. There were 44 routes in the fall of 1897; this number increased to 128 in 1898, and on November 1, 1899, had jumped to 634. These radiated from 383 distributing points and served a population of 452,735 persons. On June 30, 1900, a little more than six months later, the number of routes had grown to 1214 for a population of 879,127, and in the next four months the system again more than doubled its proportions, showing on November 1, 1900, 551 routes for 1,801,524 persons; and there were also at that date 2158 applications for the establishment of new routes. The whole of the United States is now laid out in four divisions for the inauguration and maintenance of this service, and the work is going forward with steadily increasing volume. President McKinley in his message to Congress of December 3, 1900, states that "the number of applications now pending and awaiting action nearly equals all those granted up to the present time, and by the close of the current fiscal year about 4000 routes will be set going in October, 1896." CAPTAIN WASN'T MARRIED AFTER ALL Fred Ahlborn Escorts a Lady to Capistrano, and Johnny Haberfellner Starts the Story It's His Wedding Trip. Capt. Ahlborn has been kept busy during the week denying that he is married. Some of his friends persist in thinking he is wedded; some say he's not. It all came about in this way: When the Turners, returning from the San Diego turnfest, arrived at Capistrano, they espied Ahlborn escorting a beautiful young lady aboard the cars. That settled it with Johnny Haberfellner, who was the first to spy out the happy couple. He immediately sought Ahlborn and warmly congratulated him. He shook him by the hand cordially and said he was happy to know that Ahlborn had at last done the right thing. The news spread through several carloads of Turners, and each in turn hunted the happy benedict (supposed to be) and congratulated him. The young lady was rapidly forming the opinion that Ahlborn was the most popular man in the county. Ahlborn all along supposed the congratulations were showered upon him because of the excellent showing of his company at the encampment, and because the boys didn't all get into the guard-house. The news spread through the Turners rapidly that a newly-married couple were aboard, and young ladies from other cars came in to have a look at them. The young lady escorted by Ahlborn was the prettiest one of the lot. Arriving at Anaheim, the band accompanying the excursion arranged a scenade, but the happy couple escaped by a round-about course, took a car- President McKinley in his message to Congress of December 3, 1900, states that "the number of applications now pending and awaiting action nearly equals all those granted up to the present time, and by the close of the current fiscal year about 4000 routes will have been established, providing for the daily delivery of mails at the scattered homes of about three and a half million of rural population." The president describes this as the most striking new development of the postal service, which "ameliorates the isolation of farm life, conduces to good roads, and quickens and extends the dissemination of general information." He adds that "experience thus far has ended to allay the apprehension that would be so expensive as to forbid its general adoption or make it a serious burden; its actual application has shown that it increases postal receipts, and can be accomplished by reductions other branches of the service, so that the augmented revenues and the complained savings together materially reduce the net cost. All these results, the President says, "have come almost wholly within the last year." The first appropriations for the service, $10,000 for the fiscal year 1894, $0,000 for 1895, and $30,000 for 1896, were not used. Subsequent appropriations have been as follows: For 1897, $0,000; for 1898, $50,000; for 1899, $150,000; for 1900, $450,000; for 1901, $1,750,000. The postoffice appropriation bill approved March 4, 1901, carries $3,500,000 for this use in the fiscal year 1902. Undoubtedly the evolution of the rural free-delivery service as it now lists dates back to "village delivery" which Postmaster-General Wanamaker recommended in 1890. The service he inaugurated, however, was not a rural delivery, but an extension of the city delivery system by carriers on in towns with a less population than 10,000, or less gross postal receipts than $10,000, the limit at which city delivery stops under existing law. The road recommendations included in Mr. Wanamaker's report for an abandonment of the old colonial postal system recently most aptly described by Postmaster-General Charles Emory Smith a plan which "required the man to for the mails, instead of the mails going to the man"), aroused public attention, and started an agitation ingress and by the people for an exposition of the free-delivery system into northeastern untried fields. When, on a range of Administration, the village-very experiment inaugurated on Postmaster-General Wanamaker's recommendation was ordered by Congress he discontinued, after a brief experiential existence of little more than years, the movement for free delivery on a broader basis was not suspendbut grew in intensity. Under this authorization, 44 routes were selected in widely different localities in 29 States. The purpose was to make the experiment as general as possible, and to have the result represent the working of the system under as diverse conditions as possible. Fifteen routes were set going in October, 1896, 15 in November, 8 in December, 3 in January, and 1 each in February and April following. Some of these routes were in the foothills of the Alleghenies about Charleston, W. Va., others on the prairies of Kansas and Nebraska: some among the sugar plantations of Louisiana, others among the snow and ice of Grand Isle in Lake Champlain and on the wind-swept plains of Minnesota; some were in the populous old communities of northern Massachusetts and southwestern Maine, others among the fruit orchards of Arizona and the grass lands of southern Washington. The other States represented Indiana, Ohio, Maryland, Missouri, Arkansas, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Illinois Tennessee, and California. It was dead of winter before the work got fairly under way, so that the difficulties were practically at a maximum except that of muddy roads, which would become more impassable as spring came on. The officials who were intrusted with the inauguration of the service were often dissatisfied and unfavorably disposed toward the work, because they had to be detailed from their regular work in such a way as to hinder their probable promotion. Accordingly some of the first reports were quite discouraging. The inspector who laid out the route at Hartsville, Ind., wrote that the people who were reached were not asking for delivery of their mails at their homes. Their correspondence was mainly social, not demanding promptness of delivery, and only farmers living near the postoffice took daily papers. "The importance of the average farmers' mail," he said, "is not such as to make rural free delivery essential." The fact that the farmers near the postoffice took daily papers seemed to give no intimation to this inspector that free delivery would cause farmers all along the route to do the same thing. In consequence of the discouragements just referred to, the new service was so little known when Hon. Perry S. Hearn became First Assistant Postmaster-General in March, 1897, that he learned with some surprise that a trial was actually being made of rural delivery. He took charge of the administrative division to which the experiment belonged, and determined to go into the matter exhaustively. In contradiction of the unfavorable reports from some of the agents, the sentiment of farmers everywhere seemed favorable to a thorough test of their proposal was impracticable, but he added that if Congress chose to make the money available for the fiscal year 1897 he would inaugurate the experiment by the best methods he could devise. The response by Congress was a second doubling of the appropriation, putting $40,000 at his disposal. Under this authorization, 44 routes were selected in widely different localities in 29 States.

When, on a range of Administration, the village delivery experiment inaugurated on Postmaster-General Wanamaker's recommendation was ordered by Congress, he discontinued, after a brief experimental existence of little more than two years, the movement for free delivery on a broader basis was not suspend but grew in intensity. The new agitation took the form, not requesting for free delivery in villages where none of the patrons lived more than a mile or so from their village office, but of a movement to give entry delivery to farmers who lived between 2 to 12 miles from any postoffice, who in consequence had to waste best part of a day whenever they needed to mail a letter or expected to receive one, or desired to obtain a newspaper or a magazine for which they had subscribed. The State granges of Patrons of Husky took up the subject and brought pressure to bear upon Representatives in Congress from agriculturists. A Minister's Mistake. The city minister was recently handed notice to be read from his pulpit. Companying it was a clipping from a paper bearing upon the matter. The clergyman started to read the excerpt and found that it began: "Take up’s Balsam, the best cough cure." It was hardly what he had expected, after a moment's hesitation, he added it over, and found on the other the matter intended for the reading.

Perry S. Heath became First Assistant Postmaster-General in March, 1897, that he learned with some surprise that a trial was actually made of rural free delivery. He took charge of the administrative division to which the experiment belonged, and determined to go into the matter exhaustively. In contradiction of the unfavorable reports from some of the agents, the sentiment of farmers everywhere seemed favorable to a thorough test of the system. Congress was so well satisfied with the success so far attained that the appropriation for 1898 was made $50,000. It must not be supposed, however, that all opposition to rural free delivery ceased with the change of attitude on the part of the postoffice department. It was found by the special agents in charge of the establishment of new routes that considerable sentiment against the change of method was manifested in some communities where it was about to be made. In several cases petitions were sent to Congress making protest, but upon investigation it was found in most cases that this adverse feeling had been worked up in the interest of a fourth-class postmaster or a star-route contractor who was likely to be displaced by the new routes. In some cases the fear of the postmaster was supplemented by apprehension among his village neighbors that trade would go elsewhere. In many instances signers of petitions, when called upon, repudiated the views they had been induced to endorse. They had signed out of good will to their neighbors and with little attention to the meaning of the petition. When the question of free delivery was brought before them on its merits they had little to say in opposition, and when it was presented as a direct benefit to themselves they were active in preventing the choice of some other section than their own for the location of the next new route.
