FACTS CONCERNING ANAHEIM Extracts from the Chamber of Commerce Pamphlet Descriptive of the Boss Place on Earth Midway between the mountains and the ocean, in the center of a rich and level plain, the little city of Anaheim is located. Mountains, snow-capped in winter, to the north, mountains to the east, with the nearer green hills and the adjacent orchards, vineyards and farming lands, extending far in all directions, make a landscape that not only pleases the eye but conveys to the mind a suggestion of thrift and plenty. Situated in the northern portion of Orange county, twenty-seven miles south of the city of Los Angeles, it has easy communication with, and makes ready market in the Southern California metropolis. It is connected with the city just named by means of two railroads, the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific, and the traveler between the two places has a choice of six trains daily, which, with commutation rates in case of frequent travel, makes easy access to a metropolis. In addition to these facilities for traffic, it is probable that electric cars will soon be running, with the usual frequency, between Anaheim and Los Angeles. The franchise for the projected electric road has already been secured, and the railway will without doubt be in operation within the next twelve months. The location of the prosperous town of Anaheim is ideal, lying as it does in the center of so fertile a country, that the capacity for diversified crops is almost unlimited. The history of Anaheim is unique and has been the theme of many years ago—something less than half a century—fifty men, all native Germans, at that time residing in San Francisco, formed a corporation known as the Los Angeles Vineyard society. They were not farmers or fruit-growers. They pursued their various avocations in the northern city, chiefly those of the mechanic and tradesman. But they had dreams of a different and more congenial approach to prosperity. They purchased 1165 acres in Southern California, the site of the present town of Anaheim. The tract was subdivided into fifty twenty-acre lots and fifty house lots. A manager was selected, and under his supervision know how to conduct themselves without thunder and lightning they attend strictly to business. They give ample warning, and when they subside they do so with no threatening, no grumbling; and the merchant and the fruit grower smile with the sun, for they know what irrigation means to the sun-kissed land. Even though the temperature may rise on a few particular days far above the average, the oppressive, sultry humidity of the eastern "hot spell" is entirely absent, and it must be remembered that the nights are always cool. HEALTH GIVING PROPERTIES. The sanitary conditions of the city of Anaheim are excellent, as shown by the low death rate. Epidemics are comparatively unknown and cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever, quite uncommon, are always of a very mild type. The balmy air, devoid as it is of extremes, make it an ideal climate for all suffering from catarrhal diseases of the respiratory organs. The citizens of this town have reason to feel proud of its supply of good water; it is clear as crystal and as pure as can be obtained. Space is not allowed here for a full discussion of the many advantages to be derived, physically, from a residence in this particular salutary spot. Yet what can be better for the invalid than a moderate, equable climate, plenty of sunshine, the best water and, seemingly, all the other essential conditions for the convalescent; only such a region as this can supply them. IRRIGATION. Occupying a part of a fertile, alluvial plain, the delta of the Santa Ana river, the soil is a rich, sandy loam, easy to work, with a gradual slope toward the ocean, which facilitates irrigation. The average annual rainfall is twelve inches, so that the dry plains of this locality produce burr clover, alfalfa, wild oats and other native grasses, thus furnishing a moderate amount of pasture. In a favorable season a full crop of grain may be produced without irrigation, as, indeed, is invariably the case in our big outlying grain ranches. With thorough and regular irrigation the same lands produce abundant crops of almost any variety. The horticulturists and farmers are organized into the Anaheim Union Water company, a corporation with nearly six hundred stockholders, with a capital stock of one million two hundred crops, which commands the highest price in the eastern market, been removed from the trees, when the English walnut crop engages the attention of the horticulturist. Anaheim has walnut trees growing in the full splendor of their luxuriance that are more than forty years old, and the young orchards in full bearing are extensive. Orange county produces one-third of all the English walnuts grown in the entire state. Many of the more productive trees yield nuts annually to the value of $80. This section is a suitable home for the walnut. It thrives naturally in this environment. In the coming years it is destined to become the great money-making staple of the soil. Our new possessions in the West Indies, while in a degree they may compete with California in the production of citrus fruits cannot become her rival in the production of walnuts. The trees require particular conditions of soil and climate which are here found in all their perfection. The superiority of climatic conditions not only renders the valley mistress of the citrus and walnut yield, but in the production of all kinds of fruits and vegetables Orange county takes easy precedence over neighboring sections.

In no country are there more diamonds to be found than in the United States, according to the population. It is estimated by a leading Maiden lane (New York) diamond dealer that there are upward of $500,000,000 worth of diamonds in this country Moreover, this vast amount is increasing year by year. Until quite recently diamonds were a century—fifty men, all native Germans, at that time residing in San Francisco, formed a corporation known as the Los Angeles Vineyard society. They were not farmers or fruit growers. They pursued their various avocations in the northern city, chiefly those of the mechanic and tradesman. But they had dreams of a different and more congenial approach to prosperity. They purchased 1165 acres in Southern California, the site of the present town of Anaheim. The tract was subdivided into fifty twenty-acre lots and fifty house lots. A manager was selected, and under his supervision eight acres of each twenty were planted with vines, which were cared for by him during a period of three years. In the meantime the members of the "Vineyard Society" continued to live in San Francisco, pursuing their various calings. At the end of the three years the property was divided by lot and each member received a deed to twenty acres and a house lot. About the same time the majority of the land-owners arrived in Anaheim and took possession of their several estates. They began making improvements which soon transformed Anaheim into a community whose fame became world-wide both as a successful experiment in colonization and as a wine producing center. Time has wrought the usual changes. Few of the original colonists survive, and from a distinctly German settlement it has become as cosmopolitan as any city in the State. The vineyards, which for more than twenty years were the special pride and glory of the pioneer, have given place in great measure to walnut and orange groves. But there remains enough of the original settlement to give the stranger an idea of the appearance of the "German Colony," as it was called at a time when it was the only settlement worthy of the name between Los Angeles on the north and San Diego on the south. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS. As has been stated, Anaheim is most favorably situated midway between the mountains and the sea. In round numbers, it may be described as lying twelve miles from the ocean and four and one-half miles from the nearest foothills, being about 150 feet above sea level. Just far enough from the sea to avoid the cold winds of winter, it is yet near enough to enjoy the cool breezes of summer. Far enough from the mountains to escape any excessive heat of summer, it is yet near enough to benefit by the clear mountain air as it descends toward the sea. As a natural consequence, the climate is at all times devoid of extremes. The winters are warm and the summers cool when compared with the same seasons elsewhere. The nights are at all times cool, yet even in winter frosts are of rare occurrence. The seasons are frequently designated as a dry and a wet season; yet the latter term does not convey an at all definite idea of the winter season. It need not be supposed that it indicates a steady downpour of rain or even perinches, so that the dry plains of this locality produce burr clover, alfalfa, wild oats and other native grasses, thus furnishing a moderate amount of pasture. In a favorable season a full crop of grain may be produced without irrigation, as, indeed, is invariably the case in our big outlying grain ranches. With thorough and regular irrigation the same lands produce abundant crops of almost any variety. The horticulturists and farmers are organized into the Anaheim Union Water company, a corporation of nearly six hundred stockholders, with a capital stock of one million two hundred thousand dollars, represented by twelve thousand shares, of which eight thousand have been issued, the other four thousand remaining in the treasury. Thus we see that the people themselves own the water, the land being "water-stocked," and each farmer holding a proportion of stock. The expense of irrigation is confined to the extending and improvement of the ditches, keeping in repair the head gate, flumes, drops and small gates, and the distribution of the water, including salaries of necessary officials. In addition, a crew of men is employed almost constantly in cementing the lateral ditches, in order to facilitate the delivery of water and reduce the waste to the minimum. The source of water is the Santa Ana river, which is fed by springs and melting snows of the adjoining mountains and is brought down from the headgate through a large ditch, fifteen miles in length, known as the Cajon canal. During several months of the year this canal is inadequate to bring down the large amount of water in the river which is wasted by flowing on down to the ocean. Even if the water could all be brought down, there is as yet no place prepared to store it for summer use. It is intended, however, that during the next two years this difficulty shall be removed by the enlarging and cementing of the greater portion of the Cajon canal, and by the construction of one of the two large storage reservoirs, the sites for which have already been purchased by the Anaheim Union Water company at a cost of $21,000. While the rapid development of the country creates each year a demand for more water, this call has been met by the continued improvements in the irrigation system, supplemented by a constantly increasing number of private pumping plants, drawing their supply from never-failing wells on individual ranches. The remnant of a low range of foothills can be seen skirting the present coast a few miles southwest of Anaheim. This range, continuing as a subformation, checks the flow oceanward of underground currents and creates an artesian belt of flowing wells along the landward side of the ridge. On very rich soil a few miles inland owing to the slightly increased elevation, these wells no longer flow, and irrigation from the company ditches must be done, or power must be used to pump the water from the wells to progress they must look to the Republican party for it. DIAMONDS IN AMERICA. Half a Billion Dollars Worth Owned Here—Amount Rapid Increasing. In no country are there more diamonds to be found than in United States, according to the population. It is estimated by a leading Maiden lane (New York) diamond dealer that there are upward of $500,000,000 worth of diamonds in this country Moreover, this vast amount is increasing year by year. Until quite recently diamonds were rarely cut in this country, but American inventors have developed a process for diamond cutting which is vast superior to that done abroad. The loss in weight through cutting is sometimes fully one-half, but the value is increased probably more than twofold. The Dutch city of Amsterdam has been the greatest diamond cutting center of the world from time immemorial and up to a few years ago over 12,000 people in that place were directly or indirectly dependent upon this trade. But it was not reasonable to suppose that Amsterdam should continue to hold a monopoly of diamond cutting. As one of the greatest importing cities of the world, New York gradually offered inducements to diamond cutters, and an industry has been gradually built up here that is now very flourishing and profitable. In 1858 Henry D. Morse of Boston invented a machine for cutting and polishing diamonds, and since then improvements have been made upon it that are very important. The foreigner continue to polish their stones by hand, but in this country machinery is largely used. A famous gem expert places the total value of all the diamonds in the world at over $1,000,000,000, of which $850,000,000 worth are in the hands of dealers, carried as stock. All of the other diamonds are in the hands of private individuals, and the question naturally arises, who owns them? This is not easily answered, except in the case of large and world famous gems.—Godey's Magazine. ENGAGED. Marriage is very largely an accident. In few cases do men or women set up a standard of manly or womanly excellence and choose by it. In most cases people become engaged as the result of pro-pinquity rather than because of any deep rooted preference. And so it often happens that the wife enters upon the obligations of maternity just as thoughtlessly as she entered on the marriage relation, because no one has warned her of the dangers she faces. Thousands of women become invalids for lack of knowledge of themselves. It is to this large body of women that Dr. heat of summer, it is yet near enough to benefit by the clear mountain air as it descends toward the sea. As a natural consequence, the climate is at all times devoid of extremes. The winters are warm and the summers cool when compared with the same seasons elsewhere. The nights are all times cool, yet even in winter frosts are of rare occurrence. The seasons are frequently designated as a dry and a wet season; yet the latter term does not convey an at all definite idea of the winter season. It need not be supposed that it indicates a steady downpour of rain or even persistent clouds and rain. There may possibly be fewer rainy days in one year in Southern California than in a single month of inclement weather in an eastern state. To be exact, there are, on an average, about three hundred days in the year during which the sun shines and a much greater number than that are free from rain. Seldom is there even a slight shower during the summer months, rarely any rainfall from May to October. The first showers may possibly occur in October; the heavier rains may appear in December, or the greatest rainfall may be deferred until January or even as late as March. The earlier rains are necessary to start the grain, the later ones to mature it. You will never hear the California farmer growling in regard to rainy weather. He knows there will be no more than the needed supply of water. During the season, there are heavy showers, seldom a steady downpour. The rain has a convenient way of descending by night, leaving the day very often clear and beautiful, or with intermittent showers. Yet when it rains, it rains; the elec Stricken with Paralysis "Henderson Grimett of this place was stricken with partial paralysis and completely lost the use of one arm and side. After being treated by an eminent physician for quite a while without relief, my wife recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured.—Geo. R.

It is a preparation which deserves full public confidence." Two Sizes, 25c. and 50c. There is only one Pain-Killer Perry Davis.' FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources in 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 148¼ 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. 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. That Reservoir Site The construction of the Yorba reservoir, which was once looked forward to with a good deal of interest by irrigators in this valley, may just as well be set over into the limbo of forgotten things. Much as we should like to have seen it built; weighty as is the opinion of engineers in approval of its construction, yet we doubt if the stockholders will consent to its building in face of the positive antagonism to it by Engineer Eaton, who has absolutely dismissed consideration of it even for a moment. With the Yorba reservoir in this conjuncture of affairs might just as well go, for the present at least, consideration of the water-impounding scheme at La Habra. Its great cost, the objection of a considerable number of stockholders to it on account of the danger of the dam's bursting, no less than the doubt in the minds of many that the reservoir, while it has approval now, may one day be found to fare no better than the other reservoir further up the valley. An irrigator, speaking of these things a day or two ago, averred he could go into Los Angeles and secure the services of eminent engineers—all engineers are eminent—whose views on matters of this kind are pretty tolerably well understood to be for or against the measure beforehand. Perhaps we are stating his position too strongly; but it amounts to the same thing. He said if he desired a favorable report on such an undertaking as the Yorba reservoir, for instance, he would go to consult one engineer; if he desired an unfavorable report, he would consult another. Indeed, that has been just the experience of the company up to the present stage of the game. Whether the president of the company had in view this psychological fact when he suggested the employment of Mr. Eaton, or having it in view, was led to believe his (Eaton's) mind hinged the other SOME CLOSE CALLS INSTANCES OF NARROW ESCAPE TOLD BY RAILWAY MEN. A Locomotive's Remarkable Jump—The Sleeping Car Passenger on a Round Road—Trains That Left the Track and Returned Running at Full Speed. There is no question that well-treated cases are on record where disastrous wrecks of railroad trains have been averted by almost seemless miracles. James E. White, general manager of the railway mail service at Washington, relates the particular of a remarkable jump of 28 feet made by a locomotive. As Mr. White told the story, it was on the 1st of September, 1892, when a New York and Chicago mail train on the New York Central Railroad, which was behind time and running at a very high rate of speed reached New Hamburg, where a 28 ft draw of a bridge was open, which opened space it is claimed the engine cleared and landed safely on the main port of the bridge, the rest of the train being down through the opening. When the engine, it is said, made the leap 28 feet in safety, the engineer and men not having time to jump were both killed. John H. Cain, a post clerk was killed, and M. E. Townclerk in charge was seriously injured after other post clerks escaping unharmed. While none of the local railroadmen knows of any locomotives that are good jumpers as White's or that do bounding jockey act, some of them know of miraculous and hairbreadth capes. Carlton Paris of the old Ohio Mississippi for many years and recently with the B. and O. S. W. that he and Ed Swift a number of years ago were riding on a train over Ohio and Big Sandy road when an incident was narrowly averted. But Paris tells the story: "The road was about the roughest that time I had ever ridden over. They were only a few passengers on the train Swift and I were in the forward coil talking to the conductor when she tary sleeping car passenger came staggering in and said: 'Mr. Conduit your road is so rough I can't sleep my berth. I have been pitched on my berth twice in the last quarter an hour. There must be something matter.'" "The conductor picked up his land and said, 'Come on, and I'll go back with you and see what's wrong.' So I sat at where we were talking very soon we saw that the bell was being very violently pulled and an engineer was whistling for brakes."

By the law of mutation of initial consonants peculiar to that tongue the root words fadd and medd are convertible terms. Their essential meaning is possession; transitive or intransitive, possession of something, or the act of being possessed or engrossed by some occupa-ing on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: orange, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. 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. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties.

Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Derivation of Fad.

The derivation of this word is possibly traceable in the Welsh language. By the law of mutation of initial consonants peculiar to that tongue the root words fredd and medd are convertible terms. Their essential meaning is possession; transitive or intransitive, possession of something, or the act of being possessed or engrossed by some occupation or vice. Welsh medd, and Irish Sanskrit, and English mad, have similar meanings and are probably kindred words. The word mad is not common in Teutonic idioms, so that the Anglo-Saxons probably borrowed it from the Welsh. Fad is therefore equally derivative from fredd. Proximately, of course it comes from the midland dialects and ultimately from some root word common to many members of the Aryan family of speech. It would be strange if the two words, mad and fad, having a similar meaning, should be traceable to the same root.—Notes and Queries A Typical South African Store O. R. Larson of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty five miles from the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the population is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the last twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by all druggists.

One of the results of the investigation of a special committee of the Society of Arts into the question of book-binding goes to show that sheepskin is often used by bookbinders under very different names. They found books bound nominally in Levant morocco, hard grain morocco, straight grain morocco, pligskin, calfskin, crocodile and alligator leathers, all of which on close microscopic examination were found to be the ordinary common sheepskin on which had been stamped the special grains and markings of the skins they were got up to imitate. The committee, however, were satisfied that in many cases both the book-binders and the librarians had bought these leather under the impression that they were buying the genuine article—London Globe. How Russian Peasants Live. Most of the Russian peasants pass a great deal of their lives in workshops, where they work, eat and sleep. The same room sheltering a number and probably a pig in the bargain. There are few beds. Instead, all around the four walls of the room is fixed what may be literally described as a bench. It is made of wood, and at this works the peasant by day, and on it he sleeps by night, each man at his own spot. The conditions of the Russian workshop or factory and the Russian prison and military barracks, so far as interior arrangements are concerned, are skim. Chairs there will also be and a table, rudely fashioned, as a rule, by the men themselves.—Saturday Review. Twentieth Century Medicine. The twentieth century has almost a free field in medicine. Although much has been accomplished in the treatment of diseases, the science is still largely experimental, and there is room for a vast discoveries. Perhaps by the time this century is ended there will be a lymph or an antitoxin or some sort of treatment for every ill the flesh is their to, so that a few vaccinations and other treatments will guarantee innumentation.

"Here are half a dozen prescriptions I would like to have you fill as soon as you can," wheezed Rivers. "I can see they are all for the cure of a cold." remarked the druggist, looking them over. "It's this way," explained Rivers. "When I had the other cold, I tried all these. One of 'can cured me, but I can't remember now which one it was.'—Chicago Tribune." In recent terms, "I mentioned the other day as a baseball term that had fallen into decay," said Mr. Biflerly, "the 'goose egg.' This term, time honored and once commonly employed, is now no longer heard. Two other terms, once as familiar and almost as commonly used, but now put away on the same shelf with the goose egg, are the 'redhot grounder' and the 'daisy cutter.'" "The daisies grow now just as they did then, for which let us be duly grateful, but the baseball is a daisy cutter no longer. The balls are heated now as redhot as ever—if anything, a little botter—but such a ball is no longer described by the phrase, once familiar, a 'redhot grounder.' The extreme warmth of the sphere is now referred to in some other manner." "The fact is that in baseball, as in all things else, fashions change, and phrases that today seem to glow with descriptive fervor may tomorrow seem dull and spiritless indeed."—New York Sun. Worrying the Cow. A rough, quick tempered man should never be tolerated around the cow stable. The cow loves quietude. Any disturbance which excites her lessons if it does not stop the secretion and flow of milk. It is very easy for an employee by kicking and beating a cow just before or while he is milking, to lessen her milk flow by one-half. This is called "holding up" the milk. It is really a prevention of milk secretion, and the milk thus lost does not come down at any subsequent milking.
