Dated this 18th day of April, 1902. MARY LOUISE WILSON H. W. CHYNOWETH, attorney for the estate. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1902. Editorial Note and Comment The subcommittee of the Republican state executive committee, appointed to prepare a call for the state convention, met in San Francisco on Saturday, there being present Chairman George Stone, Chadus Bundschu, W. M. Cutter, W. S. Wood and Judge E. C. Hart. The call, as framed by Senator Cutler and J. Steppacher, was reviewed and indorsed and will be submitted to the executive committee on Friday evening, and to the general committee the next day. The call provides for holding primaries for election of delegates in all parts of the state. The election will be by assembly districts. Two lines of apportionment will be submitted to the general committee, one on the basis of one delegate for every 250 votes and major fraction of that number. This will give a convention of 665 delegates. The other is on the 200 votes basis, and produces a convention of 829. The larger convention seems to be favored. Sacramento is in the lead as the convention city, and Monday, August 25th, seems to be the most satisfactory date. It has been thought advisable to open the convention on the first working day of the week, so that there may be sufficient time to transact the business. The Democrats formally opened electors, if they choose four sets of delegates at the same time, will cast 2000 ballots, Republican electors would cast the same number of ballots and the 200 scattering voters would cast from 800 to 1600 ballots, or a total of from 4800 to 9600. In some primary election precincts there will be more than 500 votes cast by the different political parties. It is argued that it will take the election officers from twelve to twenty-four hours to count, string and seal the ballots in some precincts. It is also contended that if each elector is required to make up eight different ballots, or even four ballots, which is the least number that can be arranged for under the new law, hundreds of voters will be denied the opportunity of voting. If electors are crowded into the polling booths and vote their tickets at one minute all day long it would mean the casting of only 600 to 700 votes is any precinct during the time the polls are kept open. This would mean, so it is claimed, that in some precincts hundreds of voters would not get a chance to cast a ballot. KAISER WILHELM WILL PAY US A VISIT He Has Reard So Much About the Country from Prince Heinrich, He Wants to See It Himself. Emperor William of Germany intends visiting the United States next year and will be in Washington at the time the statue of Frederick the Great, which he proposes giving to the United States, is unveiled in that city.

A census bulletin on agriculture California has been issued which veals an enormous gain in the material wealth of the state. The farms of California June 1, 1902 numbered 72,542 and had a value $707,912,960. Of this amount, $77,400, or 10.9 per cent. represents a value of the buildings and $630,960, or 89.1 per cent. the value of land and improvements other buildings. On the same date the farm implements and machinery were valued at $21,311,670 and live stock at $67,325. These values added to that of farms gives $796,527,955, total value of the farm property. Products derived from domestic imals, poultry and bees, including imals sold and slaughtered on faecal products." This value for was $131,690,608. The total value farm products for 1900 exceeds that ported for 1899 by $44,657,316, or per cent. California, the second largest state in the Union, has a total land area 155,980 square miles, or 99,827,200 acres of which 28,828,951 acres, or 28.9 percent, are included in farms. The diversity in soil and in climate in California renders possible a great variety of agricultural products can be found in any other state in Union. Of the 72,542 farms, 11,958,837 are improved and 16,870,114 were proved, the average size of a farm ing 397 acres and the percentage land improved 41.5.

It has been thought advisable to open the convention on the first working day of the week, so that there may be sufficient time to transact the business. The Democrats formally opened their campaign on Saturday with a meeting of the state executive committee in San Francisco. T. C. Sims, chairman, announced that the object of the meeting was to take preliminary action for the issuing of a call for the state convention. The following were appointed a committee to prepare the convention call: R. M. Fitzgerald, Alameda; James H. Budd, San Joaquin; A. Caminetti, Amador; Nicholas Bowden, Santa Clara; C. O. Dunbar, Sonoma; A. M. Seymour, Sacramento; Thomas E. Curran, San Francisco. It was announced that Sacramento, Stockton and San Francisco desired the convention. It is understood that Sacramento will be selected. The state committee was called to meet Saturday morning, June 7th. If Governor Benjamin Odell of New York decides to accept a nomination from the Republican party next fall, he must decline an offer in the world of railroads and finance which entails a salary of $100,000 a year. Governor Odell made his trip to the Pacific Coast, permitting a number of important matters to await his return, one of them being the appointment of a finance supervisor for state charitable and reform institutions, in order, it is said, to confer with E. H. Harriman in regard to an offer to become the eastern representative of the Harriman interests. Since Harriman had his recent financial battle with J. P. Morgan, he has felt the necessity of an eastern representative who could command respect from all quarters and be of especial use through his knowledge of politics. Governor Odell made a record as chairman of the Republican state committee, and also as Governor that has attracted national attention, and it was felt that he could fill the position offered by Harriman. The offer from Harriman to the Governor was known only to a few personal friends, and they have been watching with interest what he will not get a chance to cast a ballot. KAISER WILHELM WILL PAY US A VISIT He Has Beard So Much About the Country from Prince Heirarch, He Wants to See It Himself. Emperor William of Germany intends visiting the United States next year and will be in Washington at the time the statue of Frederick the Great, which he proposes giving to the United States, is unveiled in that city. This news comes directly from diplomatic circles, and the fact that William intends coming is well understood by the President and Cabinet, having been privately communicated to them at the time that Emperor William sent his message offering to present to this government the statue of its illustrious ancestor. The whole matter of his visit to Washington is still in the embryo state, but the intention to make the trip is firmly lodged in his mind, and he has strongly intimated that he will come if affairs of state can be arranged to permit such a visit being made. There is no intimation as to when the statue will be unveiled here, if accepted by this government, but it is estimated that it will take about a year to cast a bronze statue such as the Emperor proposing, get it, to the United States and arrange the necessary details for the ceremonies. Even this does not contemplate that an original statue shall be made, but merely that a replica of some already existing statue of Frederick the Great shall be cast. There are a great many such statues, of splendid proportions, in Germany, and Germans believe that William will choose to present a replica of an existing statue rather than trust to the uncertainties of an original. In his message to the President, Emperor William did not say whether the statue would be original or not, merely designating it as "a statue in bronze." Emperor William's contemplated trip was discussed at considerable length at a recent Cabinet meeting, and there naturally was a good deal of speculation about its purpose. Whether it is a spontaneous impulse, or whether there are deep diplomatic designs over this great display of friendship on the part of Germany is not yet revealed to Washington statesmen. The President will at an early day ask Congress for authority to accept the statue on the part of the United States, and he will also ask Congress to provide a site upon which it can be erected in the city of Washington. There will be no opposition, so far as can be ascertained, to the entire program, and one of the best sites in the entire city will be picked out for the Emperor's gift. Denials are fully expected to follow the publication of the fact that William intends coming, because it had not been intended that anything should reach the public on either side of the water until the plans are well developed. Whatever denials may come, the cold fact remains that the intention exists and has been communicated to Washington. NEAR-BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS. California, the second largest county in Union, has a total land area of 155,980 square miles, or 99,827,200 acres of which 28,828,951 acres, or 28.9 percent, are included in farms. The diversity in soil and in climate in California renders possible a great variety of agricultural products that can be found in any other state in Union. Of the 72,542 farms, 11,958,837 are improved and 16,870,114 proved, the average size of a farming 397 acres and the percentage land improved 41.5. The rate of off-farmed farms in the last decade was 37 per cent. The average of the farms has decreased as external cultivation has become more genetically advanced in the value of farm fertility for the last decade was one per cent. On this point the busy says: "The small increase is less due in part to financial difficulties in 1893. The value of plants and machinery increased per cent and that of farm produce per cent. In the same period there was live stock increased 11.7 per cent. The total area of farm land in state is 34.5 per cent greater than 1890. In Tuolumne, San Francisco Mono, Orange, Kern and Inyo cooled the farm area more than double decreases shown, the largest with Colusa and San Bernardino cooled A lower value of land and buoyed than in 1890 is reported for all crops except Los Angeles, Ventura and Barbara in the south, San Jose Calaveras and most of the counties deriving upon San Francisco bay central part, and Sierra Plumas sen, Modoc and Siskiyou counties north. The value of implements and materials has increased since 1890 in county except Colusa.; Amade Yuba, which show a decrease in 18.5, 14.8 and 10.7 per cent respectively. The total value of live stock increased 11.7 per cent, the largest increase being in Tuolumne County. The general agriculture gross of this county in this years has been very marked. From 1850 to 1900 the population California increased from 92,545,053 or sixteenfold, while the number of farms increased from 8542 or over eightyfold.

The number of owners increased by owners increased Governor Odell made a record as chairman of the Republican state committee, and also as Governor that has attracted national attention, and it was felt that he could fill the position offered by Harriman. The offer from Harriman to the Governor was known only to a few personal friends, and they have been watching with interest what he will do. With his political influence and his knowledge of the financial world, Odell would be invaluable to any financial interest, and Harriman was quick to appreciate the fact. In view of what has developed, it is regarded as almost certain that the Governor will not be a candidate for renomination, but in the future will be actively concerned in Wall street affairs. The new primary election law provides that delegates to state, county, township, congressional, senatorial, assembly, supervisoral and judicial conventions shall be elected on the second Tuesday in August. This means, in the opinion of a wise man recently referring to the subject, that each political party will have from four to eight different ballots in some precincts in the event separate conventions are held for the nomination of such officers. One set of delegates can be chosen to one or all conventions, but the law explicitly states that they cannot be combined on one ballot. Separate ballots must be provided for each political subdivision. If one or more general election precincts are combined for economy's sake it will mean that a ballot-box of enormous size will have to be provided.

DERFUL WEALTH OF CALIFORNIA Shows Notable Increase in All Uses of Products—Large Expenditure for Labor. Census bulletin on agriculture in California has been issued, which re-enormous gain in the material of the state. Farms of California June 1, 1900, hired 72,542 and had a value of $22,960. Of this amount, $77,468, or 10.9 per cent, represents the value of the buildings and $630,444,-89.1 per cent, the value of the land improvements other than farms. On the same date the farm items and machinery were valued at $311,670 and live stock at $67,303.-These values, added to that of the gives $796,527,955, total value of farm property. Products derived from domestic anpoultry and bees, including anpoultry and slaughtered on farms, referred to in this bulletin as "anil-products." This value for 1899 is $131,690,608. The total value of products for 1900 exceeds that reported for 1899 by $44,657,316, or 51.3 percent. California, the second largest state in Union, has a total land area of 50 square miles, or 99,827,200 acres, which 28,828,951 acres, or 28.9 per cent included in farms. Diversity in soil and in climate California renders possible a greater variety of agricultural products than are found in any other state in the country. The 72,542 farms, 11,958,837 acres improved and 16,870,114 unimproved, the average size of a farm beating 97 acres and the percentage of improved 41.5. The rate of gain in the number of farms in the last decade averages 37 percent. $84.85, sweet potatoes $84.39, Irish potatoes $62.65, tropical fruits $42.16, sugar beets $37.59, hay and forage $8.68, cereals $8.41. The orange groves were reported chiefly by Southern California counties, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange counties containing more than four-fifths of the trees. In 1900 the number reported was nearly five times as great as it was in 1890. All counties reporting oranges shared in the increase, except Lake and Santa Barbara, the production showing a still greater gain. Grapes were grown in 1899 by 13,064 farmers, who obtained 7,214,334 cents of fruit from 70,686,458 vines. The total value of grapes, including the value of raisins and 5,472,216 gallons of wine made on farms, was $5,622,825. Of the quantity of grapes reported, the raisin grapes contributed 3,403,368 cents of wine grapes 3,191,727 centsals, and grapes for table use 619,239 centsals. Of the fifty-seven counties in California all but five reported grape vines, and nearly one-fourth of the counties had over 1,000,000 vines each. Fresno, Sonoma and Santa Clara are the leading counties in viticulture, reporting in 1900 more than one-third of the vines of the state. The value of all vegetables produced in the state in 1899, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions and sugar beets, was $7,182,318. Of this amount 37.2 per cent represents the value of the potatoes. In 1899, 863 farmers devoted to sugar beets an area of 41,422 acres, an average of 47.8 acres per farm. They sold from this land 356,353 tons of beets, an average yield of 8.6 tons per acre, and received therefor $1,550,346, an average of $1,796 per farm,$38 per acre and $4.35 per ton. The total expenditure for labor on farms in 1899, including the value of board furnished, was $25,845,120. Fertilizers purchased in 1899 cost $937.050. In 1899 the total value of the local jottings of interest Mr. Botsford's Generosity W.F.Botsford president of the California bank has made an agreement with the Los Angeles chamber of commerce whereby all questions as to ways and means of erecting a chamber of commerce building on the chosen site has been laid at rest. The building will go up on the site selected by the board of directors on Broadway between First and Second streets. Mr. Botsford agrees to negotiate a bond issue of $175,000 to $190,000 to furnish the funds for the building which is to be five stories in height. If after ten years the chamber of commerce should wish to change the location of its headquarters Mr. Botsford agrees to take the property and assume indebtedness. Another agreement on his part is that if at the end of ten years or any time previous the rentals of the building fail to pay the fixed charges such as taxes insurance interest maintenance etc., he will make up the deficiency. The chamber is to pay a monthly rental of $300 for its quarters. Mr. Botsford's offer was so acceptable to the directors and so business-like that it was immediately accepted. Clark Sues for Damages J.Ross Clark has begun suit in Los Angeles courts to recover $50,000 damages from Simon J.Murphy for failure to fulfill a purchase contract by which he was to come into possession of a water system belonging to the East Whittier Land and Water company together with its entire capital stock valued at $65,000. Failure of Murphy to carry out his side of the contract is alleged to have prevented plaintiff from closing the deal and taking advantage of a plan he had in mind to improve the property; make it yield a larger supply of water and thus make an additional $50,000; and at the same time retain possession of the entire The value of implements and machinery has increased since 1890 in every county except Colusa; Amador anduba, which show a decrease of 43.7, 15.4, and 10.7 per cent respectively. The total value of live stock increased 11.7 per cent, the largest relative increase being in Tuolumne County. The general agricultural process of this county in the past ten years has been very marked. From 1850 to 1900 the population of California increased from 92,597 to 1,550,053, or sixteenfold, while the number of farms increased from 872 to 722, or over eightyfold. In other words, from 1850 to 1900 the number of farms, and hence the number of persons operating them as owners or tenants, increased faster than the population. This statement applies also to the decades. In the last decade the number of farms, and hence of owners and tenants, increased 37.1 per cent, while the total rural population increased but 12.7 per cent. This indicates that in the last ten years, unlike two decades preceding, the number of persons operating farms as owners or tenants increased faster than the number of those who worked for wages. There has been a marked improvement in the last two decades in the social and economical condition of the California farmers. During this period great additions were made to the rural population. The number of farms operated by owners increased 93.6 per cent. In the state of California irrigation statistics accompanying the agricultural report, the following facts are taken: In ten years ending with 1899 the number of irrigators in the state increased from 13,732 to 25,675, or 87 percent, and the area irrigated from 1,004,233 acres to 1,446,114 acres, or 44 percent. Of the total improved acreage in 1900, 12.1 per cent was reported as irrigated. In 1889, 26 per cent of the farms were irrigated and in 1899, 35.4 per cent. In 1899 there were operated 1913 ditches receiving water from open streams, lakes and springs by gravity, and used chiefly or solely for irrigation purposes. The total cost of the construction of these ditches was $12,855.012, and the area irrigated was 1,248.178 acres, making the average cost of construction per acre irrigated $10.30. The total length of the main ditches was 5,106. PROF. COOK WRITES ABOUT BEETLES Eat Cuttings of Grapes Just Set Out as well as Grape Vines—The Remedy. Messrs. C. A. Loud, Pomona, and A. W. Danforth, Anaheim, each send me a small shining beetle, with the report that it is eating the cuttings of grapes just set out and also the young grape vines. Later the same report comes from Pasadena that similar ravages are being wrought there. Mr. Loud speaks of millions of pests in his vineyard east of Pomona. This is the first I have received or seen of these little beetles, but at once recognized them as very similar to the grape flea beetle of the Eastern States, which has long been a serious pest. That is Haltica chalybea. Prof. Hall, who is an expert in this order of insects, tells me that this one is Haltica caranata, and has previously earned the reputation of a vineyard pest in California. This is one of the family Chrysomelidae, of leaf beetles. Many like this one are metallic in color and taster, hence the first name. They all feed on plants, both in the grub or larva state and as mature beetles; hence leaf beetle is appropriate. The potato, cucumber and imported elm leaf beetle all of the East are members of this family. Our little yellowish-green 12-spotted beetle, so troublesome on melons, is also of this family. These shining green or bronze beetles are small, less than one-fourth inch long, and have large shanks or femora to their bind legs.

This indicates that in the last ten years, unlike one two decades preceding, the number of persons operating farms as owners or tenants increased faster than the number of those who worked for wages. There has been a marked improvement in the last two decades in the social and economical condition of the California farmers. During this period great additions were made to the rural population. The number of farms operated by owners increased 93.6 per cent, and the number operated by tenants 135.3 per cent, the former showing greater increase from 1880 to 1890 and the latter from 1890 to 1900. The tables show that 1,607, or but 2.2 per cent of the farms of the state are operated by colored farmers. Of the white farmers, 72.9 per cent own all or part of the farms they operate, and 27.1 per cent operate farms owned by others. The Chinese farmers are nearly all tenants, and, as a rule, pay cash rental. Indians generally own the farms they operate. The total value of all live stock on farms and ranges June 1, 1900, was $67,-242,112. Since 1850 the number of dairy cows has increased more than seventyfold, but a decrease of 3.1 per cent is shown for the last decade. It is probable that this decrease is more apparent than real, as many of the 304,450 "cows and heifers not kept for milk" were doubtless milch cows dry at the time of the enumeration. The fact that the production of milk has increased 38 per cent since 1890 supports this view. The number of horses, mules and asses has steadily increased since 1850, the rates of gain for the last decade being 5.4 per cent for the former and 61.6 for the latter. The number of sheep increased until 1880, since which date it has decreased, the loss for the last decade being 70.3 per cent. The number of swine has fluctuated. The total value of dairy products in 1899 was $12,128,471. Average values per acre of the principal crops were as follows: Flowers and plants $864.06; nursery products $191.60; small fruits $143.46; hops $134.-28; hemp $90; miscellaneous vegetables This is one of the family Chrysomellidae, of leaf beetles. Many like this one are metallic in color and luster, hence the first name. They all feed on plants, both in the grub or larva state and as mature beetles; hence, leaf beetle is appropriate. The potato, cucumber and imported elm leaf beetle all of the East are members of this family. Our little yellowish-green 12-spotted beetle, so troublesome on melons, is also of this family. These shining green or bronze beetles are small, less than one-fourth inch long, and have large shanks or femora to their bind legs. This enables them to leap and so they are named flea beetles. Haltica striolata is a serious enemy of radishes and potatoes East. These beetles are difficult to manage. It is to be presumed that Paris green will kill them if eaten by them. In case Paris green is used, one pound to 200 gallons of water is the right proportion, and to this five pounds of lime must always be added to prevent burning of the plants. Yet when there are millions of beetles the remedy is often unsatisfactory. In case of a very near relation which one year did serious damage to the potatoes in the experimental gardens of the Rural New Yorker, a strong tobacco decoction was the only practical means found available to save the plants. The tobacco used was the dust and coarse stems, and so was a cheap article. These beetles are likely to persist through the season. The fact they have not attracted attention in previous years makes us hope that this present onslaught will be exceptional and not long continued. Another remedy I would suggest for trial. Kerosene is very repugnant to all insects. Gypaum or land plaster will readily hold or absorb this. I would add a pint of kerosene to two gallons of the plaster and dust the mixture on the plants. It may do no good, but I feel sure it will not damage the vines, and it might repel the beetles.—Prof. Cook in Cultivator. Old Soldier's Experience. M. M. Austin, a Civil war veteran of Winchester, Ind., writes: "My wife was sick a long time in spite of good doctor's treatment, but was wholly cured by Dr. King's New Life Pills, which worked wonders for her health." They always do. Try them. Only 25 cents at all druggists. Blood. We live by our blood,and on it. We thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor. There is nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high, we are being refreshed, bone muscle and brain, in body and mind, with continual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we are starved; our blood is poor; there is little nutrition in it. Back of the blood, is food, to keep the blood rich. When it fails, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the whole body going again—man woman and child.
