Mr. Bird causes a smile when he says in his communication, appearing elsewhere, that, because local articles printed in these columns on the West Anaheim school situation have been unsigned, therefore their truth must be questioned, and that the articles were thus printed to "evade the clutches of the law." Mr. Bird states his case with great particularity, and makes positive statements, not only against Mr. Darling, with whom he has been engaged in controversy for some time past, but against the other members of the school board, whom he charges with neglect of duty, making them liable to dismissal from office and a fine of $500. His letter will repay perusal, as giving his side of the controversy. We aim to be uniformly fair to all parties, and deny no one the right to respectful hearing. Mr. Bird seems to favor division of the school district, although he "objects to having his name used in connection therewith." We do not believe the district can be divided nor do we believe any extended notion exists in the West End for division. But when he states that our references to this controversy have been worded so as to "evade the clutches of the law," the situation becomes as ludicrous as it must have been when, according to Mr. Darling's statement, Bird threshed three boys by mistake, and, on finding his error, requested them to even up matters by threshing him. Our young friend, Horace Head of Fullerton, is personally a good fellow, and he can write a strenuous bit of editorial when occasion offers; but as with American warships? Was it because of their ignorance of the true situation, or was it in the nature of a coup de theatre to mark the last despairing gasp of a dying monarchy? And did not the circumstance of the temporary absence of the commander of the fleet, that Sunday morning off Santiago, prompt Cerbera to attempt such advantage of the situation as in his opinion the occasion offered? Would he not have sunk our fleet if he could? Would he not have been acting in obedience to orders had he done so? A loving cup for Cervera? We hope not. Next we shall hear of gifts to Montojo and Camarra, and all the rest of them. There was no quorum at the meeting of beet-growers at the weighhouse on Saturday, and another effort will be made to get together on August 3d. The meeting is for the purpose of discussing the propriety of selling the scales and the beet-dump to the Chino factory, an offer haying been made by that institution to purchase the apparatus for $250. It cost $855 in 1895, and is in excellent condition; yet, since the purchase of the dump and scales at Buena Park by the Chino people, and the elimination of all charges for weighing and dumping, farmers are of opinion the apparatus should be disposed of. At Benedict beet-growers charge themselves ten cents per ton for unloading. At this point the charge has been seven cents. If Chino will maintain the dumps and unload without the imposition of these charges, it would be money in the farmers' pocket to sell. Chino is acting much more generously to the farmers, and this spirit should be met half way. That several meetings have been attempted and have failed for lack of a quorum, is not as it should be. Let there be a quorum at the meeting on August 3d, and let this matter be discussed in all its bearings. CAN A MAN SERVE TWO MASTERS? Mr. Sherwood Asks Some Questions Relative to the Employment of Mr. Kellogg as Engineer. EDITOR GAZETTE:—I notice in your last number another clipping from the Orange Post, venomously attacking Mr. J. B. Lippincott, the Government engineer of Los Angeles. When I do not know Mr. Lippincott, or exact relations to the U. S. Government, in the interests of fair play wish to say that it is entirely probable that he is permitted to accept private work from any one who choose to employ him, since the Government does not require or pay his exclusive services. There is doubt at all that any information about the possession of the Governments would be furnished to all alike by Lippincott, and that this attack upon him is both unwarranted and undue. Mr. Armor evidently has in mind ancient saying, current about the fact that he evidently acquired some of his ideas, that "a man cannot serve masters," etc. I wish to call his tention to a case nearer home, likely to be of more consequence, proves that the aforesaid ancient has been "passed up." Mr. Kellogg has lately been pointed engineer of the A. U. W. He has hitherto for some years identified with the interests of S.A.V.I.Co. His residence is in S.Ana, and it is to be presumed that interests are centered in that local His recent appointment was made the plea that he knew more about river and the work of the A.U.W. than any one else, which may be true always excepting S. Armor. Now two companies, so it is rumored about to enter upon a joint work considerable magnitude, involving extension of the upper canal through Narrows, the corralling of 800 inches of extra water, which is waiting to run into our canal when completed; and, what is more important, the question under discussion, regarding the reconstruction of a considerable portion of our upper canals. Our young friend, Horace Head of Fullerton, is personally a good fellow, and he can write a strenuous bit of editorial when occasion offers; but as a lawyer he has lots and lots to learn. He stood sponsor for the petition praying for the incorporation of Fullerton, and now that the able District Attorney has pointed out its many legal defects, he asks to have it returned to nim for repairs. Not, however, before the Supervisors, acting upon the District Attorney's advice; had denied the request on account of its irregularity. Head was the legal adviser of the numerous thirst-parlor clubs of Fullerton, which sought, by obtaining a charter from the commonwealth, to evade the county liquor law—as obtuse a piece of legal blundering as we have recently run across. Of course, every lawyer is not always right, to quote the words of a Los Angeles attorney, speaking upon this matter yesterday; but it is submitted that Head ought to have foreseen the result of all this labor and expense to his clients. They could not help but be beaten in the end. This young gentleman is supposed to advise the incorporation of Fullerton on the lines as drawn in the petition prepared by himself. This, to our mind, is the worst advice he has yet given, so far as we have heard. If Fullerton desires to incorporate, let it do so, but not upon the miniature lines indicated in the petition referred to. That will be found, if carried out, before many years to bite like two serpents and sting like a whole lot of adders. Let Fullerton make its territorial lines as large as it can at the start. Anaheim has for years discussed the propriety of enlarging its limits, but it seems impossible to do so. We have hitherto shown why it would be worse than folly to incorporate a town with the tiny limits attaching to this petition; it would not have taxable wealth enough to create and maintain such public works as a city of its class should possess; and there are many other objections to it. Head is a nice young fellow, but he spoiled a fine editor when he went to dabbling in the law. Arthur Bird, a wealthy citizen of New York, has inaugurated a move- Arthur Bird, a wealthy citizen of New York, has inaugurated a movement among the school children of the nation to present a loving-cup to Admiral Cervera. Bird says that Dewey's magnificent dash into Manila bay won him immortal fame, and his heroism has been recognized and rewarded. Dewey's counterpart in the Spanish navy was Admiral Cervera, who, like Dewey, obeyed orders, and in broad daylight steamed from a landlocked harbor to meet inevitable destruction at the hands of the Americans. His heroism, Bird says, should be recognized by the American people in the form of a loving-cup similar to that presented to Admiral Dewey. Every school in the United States should have a share in the contribution, and Bird heads the movement with a large subscription. Donations will range from 1 to 10 cents, thus giving each child a chance to subscribe. We hope not. Cervera has already received his full meek of honors at the hands of the American people. He was treated with profound respect, as befitted his station, by the officers of the American squadron after the Santiago fight, and was cheered the other day by some enthusiastic Yankee globe-trotters at Gibraltar. We have no word to say against this white-haired old man; but this scheme to present him a loving-cup is madness. Let us hear no more of it. This brings up the moot question: Why did Cervera sail for Cuba, or, admitting that his cruise was in obedience to orders, why did the Spanish admiralty send him to inevitable destruction in waters bristling The United Kingdom purchased $408,000,000 and Germany $134,000,000. Our agricultural exports to the United Kingdom were the largest on record, excepting those of the extraordinary year of 1898, when a value of $439,000,000 was attained. In our trade with Germany the exports for 1900 were decidedly in excess of any previously reported and show an increase of nearly 100 per cent. in the five years' period. The principal part of our agricultural reports in 1900 found a market in Europe, sales in European countries having an aggregate value of $739,000,000. With the exception of the phenomenal year, 1898, when they reached $762,000,000, these figures are the largest on record. The ten principal items in our agricultural export trade for 1900 were: Breadstuffs ... $262,714,078 Cotton ... 242,988,978 Meat products ... 173,751,571 Live animals ... 43,585,031 Tobacco ... 29,422,171 Oil cakes and oil-cake meal ... 16,806,202 Vegetable oils ... 16,345,056 Fruits and nuts ... 11,642,662 Dairy products ... 9,226,920 Others ... 31,057,079 Total ... $844,616,530 George Peters, deputy county recorder, returned to his home in Santa Ana from Whittier on Saturday night with his head covered with bandages, the result of his jaw suddenly slipping a coq without any apparent provocation at the dinner table. Peters was eating sliced orange, and when he opened his mouth his jaw became dislocated and looked. All attempts to get it in place were unavailing, and a physician was hurriedly sent for. He was unable to reduce the dislocation, and summoned another physician to assist him. Peters was put under chloroform, and the two physicians finally succeeded in restoring his face to a natural expression. Peters' sufferings were severe. He will be compelled to wear a close bandage about his jaw for several days. Great Caesaruel, how did you and your expo corps of engineers, who were the first-foot contours around the haunch in the Rincon basin, miss this Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars would pay off the debt both companies, buy out New York and hire a special stockholder to the Pan-American Expedition But, perhaps you have explained the series of articles lately published I truly tried to read them, but Rip Van Winkleized each time suppose that you have utilized the information that our laws and engineers have gathered last few years. Be careful that don't "bob up later and give trouble." If the judge before the case comes for trial is not sistant stock, the decision is to rest on what he dreams while argument is going on. How when I get time, I intend to four days, drink seven cups of coffee, and have a band of Indians take me out and tie my stake, with instructions to do worst if merciful Morpheus is in sight—and try again.

MAN SERVE TWO MASTERS? Wood Asks Some Questions Relate to the Employment of Mr. Kellogg as Engineer. FOR GAZETTE:—I notice in your member another clipping from Orange Post, venomously attacking Mr. J. B. Lippincott, the Governor-engineer of Los Angeles. While not know Mr. Lippincott, or his relations to the U. S. Government does not require or pay for exclusive services. There is no at all that any information in possession of the Government be furnished to all alike by Mr. Lippincott, and that this attack upon both unwarranted and unfair armor evidently has in mind the fact saying, current about the time evidently acquired some of his that "a man cannot serve two masters," etc. I wish to call his attention to a case nearer home, and to be of more consequence, that is that the aforesaid ancient says been "passed up." Kellogg has lately been appointed engineer of the A. U. W. Co., hitherto for some years beenified with the interests of the W. I. Co. His residence is in Santa Clara and it is to be presumed that his interests are centered in that locality. Recent appointment was made on idea that he knew more about the work of the A. U. W. Co., many one else, which may be true—days excepting S. Armor. Now, the companies, so it is rumored, are set to enter upon a joint work of considerable magnitude, involving the creation of the upper canal to the rivers, the corralling of 800 inches extra water, which is waiting there into our canal when completed, what is more important to question under discussion, requiring the reconstruction of a consider-portion of our upper canal for Rebekah Lodge. A Rebekah lodge was organized at Fullerton on Friday evening, with thirty members. There were 200 people present from the Rebekah lodges of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Whittier, Azusa, Westminster and Orange. Grand Master, Mrs. Madison of Los Angeles, instituted the new order and the Grand Deputy, Mrs. Theo. Lacy of Santa Ana, installed the new officers. A team from Orange did the floor work. A banquet followed, which lasted until a late hour. The officers elected and installed are: Mrs. C. B. Huggans, Noble Grand; Mrs. F. A. Balliet, Vice-Grand; Mrs. Susie Lyman, R. S.; Miss Ethel Jenks, L. S.; Miss Blanche Soudan, Treasurer; Miss Nellie Rice, Chaplain; Mrs. C. L. Rich, Conductor; Albert Sitton, I. D. K.; Arthur Armstrong, O. D. K.; Sophia Salveson, Warden; F. A. Balliet, R. S. G. N.; Mrs. M. V. B. Lovering, L. S. N. G.; Miss Maud Lloyd, R. S. V. G.; Miss Caroline Theissen, L. S. V. G.; Miss Ida Salveson, Miss Myrtle Harrington, Miss Laverta Wallace, Miss Cora Ford, Banner Bearers. The new lodge will meet on the second and fourth Friday evenings of each month. Mirrors and Birds. "I learned a trick while in the Philippines in the matter of keeping birds out of fruit trees," volunteered a well-known official of the Postoffice department to a Washington Star reporter, "which may be of value to many just now, when so many cherries are being destroyed by birds. It is simple, inexpensive and, as far as I could observe practical. It consists in hanging a small mirror on the top limbs of the tree. There should be at least six inches of string to the mirror, so that it can swing about as it is blown by the wind. The flash of the mirror it appears scares the birds away." One or two 5-cent mirrors hung on a tree is sufficient, though, of course, three or four would be that much better. I was told that this method had been worked in the Philippines successfully for many years, and that the birds do not grow familiar with it, as they do with a scarecrow. Since my return here I find that the mirror scare is not unknown here and that it has been in use by Michigan fruit growers for many years. I have tried it myself in a small way, and it is amusing what a stir it creates among the birds." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

The school census returns for the entire State have just been published, and show a total of 372,945—a gain of 11,792, indicating an increase in population during the last year of over 45,000. The showing of the Southern California counties is as follows: - San Diego: 7,812 - Orange: 6,074 - Riverside: 4,997 - Bernardino: 7,997 - Los Angeles: 50,063 - Ventura: 4,140 - Santa Barbara: 4,793 Total net gain: 3421. San Francisco gains 3619, making a total gain for that city and Southern California of over 7000. The only other counties reporting a large gain are the following: - Alameda: 1473 - Fresno: 1075 - Kern: 405 -Kings: 200 -Humboldt: 274 This accounts for nearly all the total gain, leaving the rest of the State about a standoff. The following counties show a loss: - Calaveras, Colusa, El Dorado, Glen, -Inyo, Lassen, Mariposa, Modoc, Mono, -Monterey, Placer, San Benito, San Diego, -San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Sierra, Sutter, Taulune, -Yolo, Yuba. The wheat growing and mining counties as a rule show a loss. Three districts in Glenn county have been abolished within the last year, and there has been a steady loss in population in that part of the State in the last twenty years. It is the irrigation counties—Southern California, Keru, Fresno, Kings and Sacramento that are making the gain outside of the cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland. Not until water is put on the fertile wheat lands of Central California, and diversified farming adopted, will this loss in population be checked.—Riverside Press.

KANSAS CITY, July 12.—No rain fell today in any part of the drouth striken district, consisting of all Kansas, western Missouri, Oklahoma and Indian territory. Over most of this region this was the worst day of the long hot spell, the temperature being more than 100 degrees and no breeze stirring. Corn, oats, hay and potatoes are so badly injured that even with rain the yield would be short, and as the weather bureau gives no hope of relief the outlook is discouraging. At some places in Kansas there has been no rain whatever for nearly three months. The present is the worst drought since 1860 when New England sent food to the settlers of Kansas. However,the past few years have been very prosperous ones,and even now the farmers of Kansas are harvesting one of the largest crops of wheat in the history of the state.A great many counties send word that rain corn will be a half crop without rain soon no yield.A few say there is yet hope for a fair harvest. Hay sold this morning for $20 a ton,the highest price ever reached in this market.Receipts were very small,and most of the hay which came in was sold some time ago in the county,before the drouth became so serious.Hay is so high here that it can be shipped in from Minnesota or Ohio,或 almost any state in the country that has a crop.Kansas and Missouriwhich usually furnish as much hay as any three eastern states,and at this time of the year are usually shipping train loads of hay to other points are buying this year.In numerous places there is no pastureage and owners of cattle are shipping hay to their farms.Alalfa has yielded well everywhere and will be the salvation of many farmers. For the past five days 110,000 hogs have been received at the stock yardsbreaking all records.These heavy shipments are due to the scarcity of corn. POPULATION.

ALMA PELLEGRIN, JOHN A. EYMANN. Anaheim, July 15, 1901. By a decree handed down by Judge Bellinger of the United States Circuit court, 84,335 acres of land in southern Oregon and Northern California, fenced in and held by the Jesse D. Carr Land & Live Stock company for many years were declared to belong to the government and the United States Marshal was ordered to remove the fences surrounding it. The judge found for the government upon every allegation, and the fence, fifty miles in length, must be removed at once, when the land will be opened to homestead claims. The authorities anticipate trouble in carrying out the court's order, as Carr will probably resist any attempt to remove the fences. Though 87 years old, he is still full of fight. A. Goodwin of Orangethorpe avenue is in Los Angeles undergoing treatment for his eyes, which have troubled him for years. For a long time he has been gradually losing his sight, and is now almost blind. C. C. Chapman is reported to have purchased 275 acres of land in the Jonathan Kraemer tract, from Joseph Messmer of Los Angeles. $87 to Buffalo and Return.

The new census returns of France show a total population of 38,600,000, an increase in four years of only 330,000, of which all but 38,000 is in Paris. France finds but little comfort in the figures that again prove its population to be practically stationary. Since 1850 the population of France has increased but 3,600,000. In the same time Germany has added to its population 21,000,000. England 14,000,-000, Austria 15,000,000 and Italy 9,000,-000.

The proprietor of one of the new apartment houses near Fifth avenue has paid a rather heavy penalty for having a cartoonist as one of his tenants. The artist wanted some changes made in the decoration of his apartment, and the proprietor declined to make them. The proprietor's features are pronounced, and he wears long, flowing side whiskers. His face, distorted to suit the cartoonist's fancy, has appeared nearly every week in one of the comic papers. Sometimes the proprietor figures as the villain and again as the countryman who is bunked every week in the pages of this publication. The cartoonist lets the whiskers grow from week to week; then, just as his victim imagines that they will grow so long that his friend will not recognize him, the artist trims the whiskers down again. The proprietor of the apartment house has concluded that the only way in which he can get even with the cartoonist is to put in a bill for services as model—New York Sun.
