MR. PIEROTTI'S IDEAS ARE GOOD ONES Stockholders in the Water Company Adopt His Views Relative to Issue of 1000 Shares of New Stock. No article of recent moment has excited the interest among stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company more than that of Mr. Pierotti, favoring immediate issue of 1000 shares of stock, which appeared in our columns last week. Mr. Pierotti's views have in them the ring of sincerity, and his qualification to speak upon questions affecting the internal affairs of the water company imparts to his observations an inherent interest which should command attention. Having been company zanjero, then superintendent, and later chosen director of the company, he has risen step by step until he is as well informed upon the water situation as any orchardist in the district. Much that he has said is of such absorbing interest at this time that, in deference to almost universal desire, we quote from his letter again: The sale of the 4000 shares at $50 per share would bring the company $200,-000; with $75,000 of this we could cement the main canal its entire length; by so doing we would gain at least 150 inches of water during the months of June. July and August, and during the other nine months increase the capacity of the ditch to 3000 inches instead of 1000 as it is at present. With $20,-000 we could extend the main canal from the present intake up to "The Narrows," where by careful measurement it has been proven that there is 270 inches more water than there is at the present intake, half of which belongs to the S.A.V.I. company, leaving us a gain of 135 inches. With $40,000 we could build what is known as the "Yorba reservoir," including the extension of the ditch to it, and the outlet to connect with the Anaheim ditch, the latter being cemented. We have been assured by competent engineers, namely: Kellogg and Schuyler, also by the late Mr. Sorenson, who was good authority on irrigation. GEN. MILES A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT? Thinks He Could Sweep the Country With Himself and Schley or Dewey as a Running Mate. General Miles is said to be an open candidate for presidential honors. He has long had an inclination in that direction, but since he was reprimanded by the President for his interview on the Schley case, the commanding general of the army has made little if any concealment of his intention to win the Democratic nomination two years hence, if he can. He is actively playing his cards with that end in view. It is said to be a part of his program to embarrass Mr. Roosevelt. The national capital is full of most interesting gossip concerning this latest phase of the Schley controversy and the plan of General Miles to make a political issue of the Schley case, with himself as the central figure. General Miles would like to be nominated for President in 1904, with either Schley or Dewey as his running mate. He believes a ticket reading Miles and Schley, or Miles and Dewey, would bring victory against President Roosevelt or any other man the Republicans could put up. General Miles is very much in earnest in his candidacy for the Presidency. He talks of little else to his intimate friends, and already by anticipation is enjoying a victory over the President, who dared administer him a severe public reprimand. Naturally, General Miles has not forgiven the President for this affront, and he has gone gunning for the President as a scheme of revenge. He will retire from active service in August, 1903, in good time to make his race before the National Democratic Convention. General Miles believes the President did him good service in administering that reprimand, as it has given him a popularity which he never had before. He receives many letters of sympathy from all parts of the country, and the press-cutting bureaus, to all of which he is a subscriber, supply him with large quantities of valuable comments. COUNTRY'S CONDITION PROSPERITY Drought Affected Deciduous Fruit Tree Good Reports Come From Other Industries. Prosperity in a larger degree ever before seen in this country the New Year. Trade is active prices generally are at highest in many years. The past year has been the year in its financial activities that country has ever seen. Railroad earnings were higher known. Bank clearings aggrear ahead of record of 1900. trade was maintained at higher yet known. In our immediate district tha has been one of progress. It haired letter year to most of the industries of this section. The three years of successive seem to have affected disastrous deciduous fruit industry. I places trees are being uprooted land put into other crops. The dustry, also, had a set-back development goes on and a reeled for soon. Generally ffa have been harvested and many satisfactory figures. The citrus crop was larger carloads—but the surprise of was the olive crop now being haunted. It is enormous—nothing like in California. It ought to bring oil approximately close to the imported article, as olive sold for $30 to $35 per ton for against $45 to $60 hitherto. The bean crop was much larger that of 1900, but not up to a year. Barley was largest crop 1897, although many acres died and were cut for hay. The beet sugar campaign wiht the most prosperous ever knowing quite an increase over last year. The walnut crop was fail have not moved as freely as lain and were priced about one-half lower. The raisin yield is about pounds less than last year. The ket t is firm with an upward trend. Frosts and big demand for lessened output of cured fruits "The Narrows," where by careful measurement it has been proven that there is 270 inches more water than there is at the present intake, half of which belongs to the S.A.V.I. company, leaving us a gain of 135 inches. With $40,000 we could build what is known as the "Yorba reservoir," including the extension of the ditch to it, and the outlet to connect with the Anaheim ditch, the latter being cemented. We have been assured by competent engineers, namely: Kellogg and Schuyler, also by the late Mr. Sorenson, who was good authority on irrigation systems, that the site is first-class for a reservoir, and that we can store sufficient water here to give us 528 inches for ninety days, or 264 inches continuous stream, night and day for ninety days. With $15,000 we can put in a pumping plant at the head of the Anaheim ditch, as planned by the late Mr. Fay, which would give us 250 inches of water for ninety days; the S.A.V.I. company would be entitled to one-half of this by paying half the cost. There are several similar places for developing water between this point and The Narrows, which may later be utilized. By summing up the gains made by these improvements we have the following: Cementing main canal, 150 inches; by extending the main canal to the Narrows, 135 inches; by building Yorba reservoir, 264 inches; by pumping plant, 125 inches, making a total of 674 inches. During the months of June, July and August last year our daily average of water was 560 inches; therefore by spending the sum of $142,-500 we can more than double our water supply. The above figures are on the basis of selling 4000 shares of stock, but my proposition is to offer only 1000 shares for sale, and to protect the irrigators during the coming summer I would suggest that the sale of stock should not begin till Sept. 1, 1902. This would give us time to complete the Yorba reservoir, and be ready the following summer to supply water to any stock that might be sold. I think it a mistake to stick to the proposition of selling no stock until we have a surplus of water, for the following reasons: 1. As soon as irrigators have more water than they need they will offer the surplus stock for sale, and thus cause it to depreciate in value, as it was ten years ago. As long as there was floating stock the company could sell none. 2. It would delay the growth and development of the company, and probably take us twenty-five years to accomplish what we should in the next five. 3. We have thousands of acres of the richest land in Southern California in our irrigating district, today lying idle because we have no water stock for sale, and desirable settlers have to go elsewhere to locate, where land is higher priced and water is not so plentiful. Thus we are shutting down the doors to progression. 4.

In fact he held a reception of his own in the east room,and hundreds of men and women pressed forward for a chance to shake his hand. These things are very agreeable to General Miles,and he believes tide public sentiment is running with him,and that he may be able to ride upon it into the presidential chair.His not only willing,but eager,and spends most of his time talking about it and laying plans. He writes many letters to Senators and Representatives,and has a well organized press bureau to promote his popularity.

The time has come when we must go ahead, develop and take what be longs to us, for the eagle eye of capital is ever ready to grasp our rights and make us pay dear for them. There are several points we should not lose sight of. One is that if we continue our improvements we might develop water power which would be worth thousands of dollars to this valley. Another point is that as soon as we have our main canal cemented, our expenses will be reduced to about one-fifth of what they are now.

Trade is active and prices generally are at highest point many years. The past year has been the greatest war in its financial activities that this country has ever seen. Railroad earnings were highest ever known. Bank clearings aggregated ahead of record of 1900. Foreign trade was maintained at highest level known. In our immediate district the year has been one of progress. It has been used letter year to most of the great industries of this section. The three years of successive drought from to have affected disastrously the deciduous fruit industry. In many acres trees are being uprooted and put into other crops. The oil industry, also, had a set-back, but the development goes on and a reaction is looked for soon. Generally fair crops have been harvested and marketed at satisfactory figures. The citrus crop was large—24,000 orloads—but the surprise of the year was the olive crop now being harvested. Is enormous—nothing like it before California. It ought to bring price oil approximately close to that of the imported article, as olives have sold for $30 to $35 per ton for olive oil, against $45 to $60 hitherto. The bean crop was much larger than that of 1900, but not up to a normal year. Barley was largest crop since 1997, although many acres did not fill and were cut for hay. The beet sugar campaign was one of the most prosperous ever known, showing quite an increase over last year. The walnut crop was fair. They have not moved as freely as last year, and were priced about one-half cent lower. The raisin yield is about 20,000 pounds less than last year. The market is firm with an upward tendency. Frosts and big demand for fresh fruit ensured output of cured fruits for 1901. COUNTY'S CASH SHOWS GAIN Payment of Taxes Sends Public Funds Up Toward High Water Mark.

The same action has been taken in a half hundred smaller mines resulting in 500 mines. FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the industries and Resources or this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 104½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Railroad Building It is given out in Salt Lake that it is purpose of the Oregon Short Line to do all in its power to reach Los Angeles.

The walnut crop was fair. They have not moved as freely as last year, and were priced about one-half cent lower. The raisin yield is about 20,000 pounds less than last year. The market is firm with an upward tendency. Frosts and big demand for fresh fruit ensured output of cured fruits for 1901, and quantity cured was considerably below the average. A good spring trade is looked for. The year was a good one for the bee men. While the output was not up to the best of former years, it reached 200 carloads. Prices realized were good. The bees multiplied rapidly, and another year ought to see honey equal, if not surpass, its best records. What this section now needs is rain. The ground is getting very dry, and blowing has ceased in most places. The season of 1901-2 citrus industry opened with excellent prospects of large crops, but recent windstorms and a period of continued low temperature will materially decrease the season's output. In some portions of Southern California one quarter of the crop suffered. It is estimated now that 15,000 carloads will not be exceeded. About 2,800 carloads have gone forward, and as usual at the holiday season of the year, enough poor and immature fruit was shipped to demoralize the market. The holiday trade is considered a good criterion of prosperity of any section. Trade was unprecedented in all lines. Los Angeles merchants report from 50 to 200 per cent gain. It was a record-breaker. The city has had a year of phenomenal but healthy growth. The volume of business has been large; many new business enterprises have been established and old ones extended. An increase of 65 per cent in building permits over last year is recorded. Many causes are given for the city's wonderful progress, the most generally accepted being increased trade with Arizona, which territory is developing rapidly; opening of coast road; new schedule of rates in San Joaquin valley, and increasing population due to advantages offered the home-seeker. Failures in our district in December, 1901, 6; liabilities, $5,000; assets, $1,000. Same month in 1900, 12; liabilities, $117,000; assets, $115,000. Failures for the year, 86; liabilities, $182,000; assets, $83,000. For 1900, 128 failures: liabilities, $715,000; assets, $324,000. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. There are nine fraternal organizations, including Masons and Odd Fellows; seven churches, embracing the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Railroad Building It is given out in Salt Lake that it is the purpose of the Oregon Short Line to do all in its power to reach Los Angles long before it will be possible for the San Pedro to do so. Not many persons believed a year ago that the Short Line people were in earnest in their effort to get to the Coast. At that time things looked very much as though it was a clear game of bluff played for the purpose of feigning the promoters of the San Pedro from attempting to carry out the project, but it did not take long for Harriman to discover that Senator Clark could neither be bluffed nor scared. Another thing he apparently found at the same time was that the road which he had been making the people believe they were going to build had actually to be built; also, that the Southern Pacific, which has its eastern connection with the Union Pacific at Ogden, and its western connection at San Francisco, would not be sufficient to compete with the speed and carrying power of the San Pedro alone in transporting transcontinental and oriental freight; that there was a mighty gateway near Los Angeles that must be looked after. That is why Los Angeles will get the Oregon Short Line. And that is how Senator Clark will in reality give Southern California two roads—his own, which he is building, and the Short Line, which he is compelling Harriman to build. Active building operations on the Short Line will be inaugurated in the early spring months and pushed rapidly forward.

Get the Most Out of Your Food You don't and can't if your stomach is weak. A weak stomach does not digest all that is ordinarily taken into it. It gets tired easily, and what it fails to digest is wasted. Among the signs of a weak stomach are uneasiness after eating, his of nervous headache, and disagreeable belching. "I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla at different times for stomach troubles, and a run down condition of the system, and have been greatly benefited by its use. I would not be without it in my family. I am troubled especially in summer with weak stomach and nausea and Hood's Sarsaparilla invaluable." E. R. Hickman, W. Chester, Pa.

Some such look you notice on the faces of those who have suffered, and still suffer, much physical pain; people subject to heumatism, gout, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumbago, or pain from some old lesion. This pain habit puts its marks on them, as the custom of handling ropes crooks a sailor's fingers; or as too much riding of a bicycle stamps a worried expression on certain faces. No wonder people said of the Italian poet as he passed along, "There goes THE MAN WHO NEVER LAUGHS." The complaints above named all yield to the action of Benson's Porous Plasters, and quickly too. Not only those, but colds and coughs, kidney and liver affections, all congestions and muscular strains, diseases of the chest, asthma and all ailments which are open to external treatment. It is frequently said that Benson's Plaster is Pain's Master. It cures when others are not even able to relieve. For thirty years the leading external remedy.

Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh.

It seemed as though I would die with pains in my back and stomach. I could not stand at all without fainting. Had given up all hope of ever being cured, when one of my friends insisted upon my trying Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. With but little faith I tried it, and before I had taken half a bottle I felt better. Now I have taken two bottles of 'Favorite Prescription' and one of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and I am entirely cured, and in two months' time when all other medicines had failed."

THE HAIRY AINOS AND THEIR RESERVATIONS IN THE EMPIRE. Odd Customs Practiced by These Aboriginal People of Japan. Unique Styles In Baby Names. Their Resemblance to Our Indians. The Ainus, generally known to Americans and Europeans as "the hairy Ainos," are the only aboriginal people now living in Japan. They are called "hairy" in contradistinction to the smooth faced Japanese, Koreans and Chinese. Their present home is in Hokkaido, or Yesso, the most northerly part of the empire, although it is supposed that in earlier times they occupied most of the entire country. Ancestors of the Japanese of today found them in possession and by force of superior arms and civilization gradually drove them to the north, much in the same way as the savages were driven back toward the Pacific by the early settlers in America. The Ainus live today pretty much as the Indians on their reservations in the west. They are still for the most part half savage, and the Japanese name for them, "Yesso," means barbarian. They are very skillful in hunting and fishing, which are their chief occupations. They are under the protection of the imperial government and are entirely separated from the Japanese. The latest census showed that they number very nearly 17,000. Among the many curious customs of the Ainus perhaps the quaintest is their method of naming their children. They observe a peculiar economy in giving names. The infant must go without a name until it shows itself worthy of bearing one. If it is sickly and not likely to live, it is not considered worth while to waste a name upon it. As each child must be immemorial custom have a brand new name, used by no one in the community, names are scarce and must be guarded. If the child should be given a name borne by someone else, the ghost of the former possessor of the name may come back from the underworld to avenge the slight. It is customary to take a name from some incident that occurred at the child's birth or it is left to the parents What She May Expect. The Goal of Love is Marriage and the Goal of Marriage is Maternity. When a young man and young woman are very much in love every step of life they take is timed to the music of the wedding march. The happy consummation may be years away, but down the path of the years the clear eyes of love discern the spot which some day they shall call home. And when the marriage is consummated and the home founded another thought begins to fill the minds of wife and husband, a thought that lies too deep for words, the thought of a cooing baby voice, of the patter of tender baby feet and the music of happy baby laughter. If the love of man and woman leads to marriage, and marriage looks to motherhood, what is the plain and obvious duty of the woman about to assume the obligations of wifehood and motherhood? It is her duty to prepare herself for her own sake and the sake of the children that may be given her, as well as for the sake of her husband and her home. HOW TO PREPARE. The first thing to do is to cure diseases of the delicate organism which undermine the health and strength. Regularity should be established, disagreeable and weakening drains must be stopped, weakness must be cured. "I have taken six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Miss M. Fyfe, of Orilla, Simcoe Co., Ont., "and two bottles of the 'Pleasant Pellets,' as you advised for congestion of the uterus, and for weakness, and can safely say that your medicine has been the means of restoring me to good health." THE NEXT STEP In wifely preparation is to prepare for motherhood. Preparation by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will give bodily strength and mental cheerfulness. It will banish that feeling of fear and apprehension which so many women suffer from at this time. It will encourage the appetite, induce refreshing sleep, and make the baby's advent practically painless. "I was pleased that Dr. Pierce answered my letter," writes Mrs. C. W. Young, of 21 South Regent Street (Lee Park), Wilkesbarre, Penna. "I had several mishaps before my husband persuaded me to take your medicine. My back used to almost break when at work and I would get sick at my stomach and have such headaches I did not know what to do; they used to set me nearly crazy, and I used to dread to get up, I felt so bad. Then I began taking your medicine. When baby was expected I took it all the time I was that way. I felt fine all the time and I never get those dizzy spells now. I hardly ever have a nervous headache any more. I have a perfect romp of a boy; he is the light of our home. I am now twenty years old and my baby is almost eight months old. I feel well, and weigh 180 pounds, and the baby 23½ pounds. We feel very grateful for the good your medicine did for us. We are both hearty, thanks to Dr. Pierce's medicine." FOR BABY'S SAKE the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is advised for all expectant mothers. It not only helps the mother but helps the child. All the child's strength must come from the mother. "Favorite Prescription" gives the mother strength to give her child. There is no alcohol in "Favorite Prescription" and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. Women suffering from chronic ailments are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All letters are privately read and privately answered and the written confidences of women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in his personal consultations with women at the Invalidis' Hotel and Surgical Institute.

If it is sickly and not likely to live, it is not considered worth while to waste a name upon it. As each child must by immemorial custom have a brand new name, used by no one in the community, names are scarce and must be guarded.

It is customary to take a name from some incident that occurred at the child's birth or it is left to the parents afterward to choose one for it. Should the infant come into the world with a smiling face it might be called Ikishimaburu, which means a smile, or fond parents may call it Kannoisage (a pulling rope of the gods) if they wish their child to be in the special care of the gods. From the age of 7 to 10 Ainu children of either sex have their heads shaved, but after 11 they are allowed to have long hair and wear the same clothes as grown persons. They wear no clothing unless the weather is very cold. The favorite and almost exclusive ornament is the earring, usually made of metal. What clothing is worn is made of straw. They never wear shoes or other covering for the feet except as a great luxury and mark of distinction on ceremonious occasions. The men carry small knives and tobacco pouches, and the women carry small looking glasses and knives. The knife is used as symbolic. The malden wears it with the blade bare, but when she marries it is worn in a sheath. The women also paint their faces, using a kind of ink for the purpose. The Ainu live mostly by fishing and hunting. They hunt the bear and deer, catch salmon and other fish and grow potatoes and millet. Whenever they can get it they eat rice, which they regard as the best food, though they do not raise it themselves. Both sexes smoke tobacco and drink liquor. The marriage customs differ widely from those of the Japanese. The question is first settled between the youth and maiden, who then refer the matter to their parents through a mediator, who should be a relative of the prospective bridegroom. The man must send a present of laceured ware, which is regarded by them as one of the most precious things in the world. This, however, is reclaimed by him if his wife afterward seeks a divorce. Ainu lives in dwellings of about the same class as those of the American Indians. The rude hut has two windows, one of them for ordinary earthly use; the other reserved for the entrance of the gods. Woman is rarely treated and held in deep respect. The man is not allowed to enter the house when the woman is in it alone, and he is not permitted to walk behind a woman. When a man meets a woman, he must salute first, by smoothing his beard and rubbing his hands. Then she responds by touching her nose with a finger of her left hand. During October the Ainu hold a religious fete, which is called the bear festival, because they sacrifice a bear which has been carefully fostered for three years. Judicial punishment among the Ainu consists of severe heating with a name until it shows itself worthy of bearing one.

Woman is daily treated and held in deep respect. The man is not allowed to enter the house when the woman is in it alone, and he is not permitted to walk behind a woman. When a man meets a woman, he must salute first, by smoothing his beard and rubbing his hands. Then she responds by touching her nose with a finger of her left hand. During October the Alnus hold a religious fete, which is called the bear festival, because they sacrifice a bear which has been carefully fostered for three years. Judicial punishment among the Alnus consists of a severe beating with a stick administered to the culprit. The crimes are generally theft—stealing articles or the wife of a neighbor. As there are eight men to one woman the majority of the males are not married, and wife stealing is very common. The accused is subjected to a long examination by the chief of the community and is then compelled to resort to the ordeal of fire. He must take a stone out of boiling water. If innocent, the Alnus think he will not be injured. If the question cannot be settled in this way, the principals in the dispute must fight it out. The Alnus are polythelists, though they limit their gods to two, a god of fire and a god of water. The first is called Kabekamol and the latter Hato-kamol. They, also, like most peoples who have a religious system, believe in some sort of heaven and hell—Japan and America.
