FATS 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 pens. 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 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, makes 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 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 headgate, flames, drops and small gates, and the distribution of the water, including salaries of necessary officials. Electric Railway. The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce has taken up the matter of electric railway with Epes Randolph. Mr. Huntington's general man and has received a reply from gentleman. There has been a talk lately to the effect that he would run through the Placentis try, and this supposition seems pretty well founded. However Randolph says nothing concerning this matter. His letter is as follows: LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 1, MR. E. I. TOLLE, Santa Ana, Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of October 30th. Santa Ana is one of the points on the Pacific Electric company having expected to reach with its line we should get around to some action looking to the building of line within the next 60 or 90 days.

Great Luck of an Editor "For two years all efforts to 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 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 callings. 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 a 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 nearer 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 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 headgate, flames, 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 was 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 footballs 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 the 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 the surface of the ground and upon the rich sandy loam. The ploneers of Anaheim constructed the first ditch and made the first use and appropriation of water under the provisions of our statutes. The water rights, now so important a factor in the welfare of our horticultureists and farmers, are at present so ingrafted into the statutes of the state, and are so fortified by the decisions of the courts, that none of the principal rights are at all in dispute. Litigation is confined to a few minor privileges.

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 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 days very often clear and beautiful, or with intermittent showers. Yet when it rains, it rains; the elements 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.

Sketch of the industries and Resources on 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 148½ 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.

IN LOVING EMBRACE THEY DIED Suicide of W. C. Rabe and Miss Augusta Busch—Bodies Found in a Church Vestibule Clapsed in each other's arms, lying on the floor of the pastor's study of the German Baptist church at Omaha, on the morning of the 7th inst., Oscar Berndes, janitor of the church, discovered the dead bodies of Rev William C. Rabe, pastor, and Miss Augusta Busch, a missionary and assistant to the pastor. Death had been caused by asphyxiation. The room was filled with gas, a jet and a burner of a small stove being partly turned on. The bodies were lying on the floor when found, the woman's head being pillowed on some cushions. They had evidently been in that position for several hours. The bodies were rigid and stiff, and death had evidently occurred during the early hours of the previous evening. The coroner's jury took charge of the remains. Miss Busch roomed at the home of Janitor Berndes, and Rev. Rabe lived at the home of Harry Dicksen. On the morning before the bodies were found, Miss Busch went to the Dicksen home and remained there all day, and until about 9 o'clock in the evening, engaged in sewing. She left for her home at the Berndes residence alone, and it is thought probable that she met the minister returning home, and that the two then went to the study in the rear of the church, where the tragedy occurred. They had always been good friends, but no stronger feeling is said to have made REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION Furnished by the Orange County pany.

"Parson," he said, "what is the best way to heaven?" "Turn to the right and then keep straight ahead,' replied the preacher without an instant's hesitation." It is a great affliction for a woman to have her face disfigured by pimples or any form of eruptive disease. It makes her morbid and sensitive, and robs her of social enjoyment. Disfiguring eruptions are caused by impure blood, and are entirely cured by the great blood-purifying medicine—Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It removes from the blood the poisonous impurities which cause disease. It perfectly and permanently cures scrofulous sores, eczema, tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by the blood's impurity. It increases the action of the blood-making glands and thus increases the supply of pure rich blood. "For about one year and a half my face was very badly broken out," writes Miss Carrie Adams, of 116 West Main Street, Battlecreek, Mich.

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. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties: No farms. Acres: Los Angeles: 65777 895,663 Orange: 2888 569,436 Oranges: 2888 569,436 Riverside: 2840 427,097 San Bernardino: 2350 219,132 San Diego: 2098 809,419 San Diego: 2098 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties: Acres: Los Angeles: 85,644 Orange: 41,549 Riverside: 32,947 San Bernardino: 37,877 San Diego: 16,072 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square smiles. 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. An English Author Wrote: "No shade, no shine, no fruit, no flowers, no leaves—November." Many Americans would add, no freedom from cataract, which is so aggravated during this month that it becomes constantly troublesome. There is abundant proof that cataract is a constitutional disease. It is related to scrofula and consumption, being one of the wasting diseases. Hood's Sarasptilla has shown that what is capable of eradication scrofula completely curses catarrh, and taken in time prevents consumption. We cannot see how any sufferer can put off taking this medicine, in view of the widely published record of its radical and permanent cures. It is undoubtedly America's greatest medicine for America's greatest disease—catarrh. Wanted Good teamster. Must be experienced man.[oct16-tf] Apply at this office.

CURRENT EXPLAINED Huntington.Cervantes THEDFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT THE ORIGINAL LIVER MEDICINE A sallow complexion, dizziness, billiousness and a coated tongue are common indications of liver and kidney diseases. Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, but liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at the start, are much harder to cure. Theford's Black-Draught never falls to benefit diseased liver and weakened kidneys. It stirs up the torpid liver to throw off the germs of fever and ague. It is a certain preventive of cholera and Bright's disease of the kidneys. With kidneys reinforced by Theford's Black-Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yellow fever. Many families live in perfect health and have no other doctor than Theford's Black-Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor. Mullins, S.C., March 10, 1901. I have used Theford's Black-Draught for three years and I have not had to go to a doctor since I have been taking it. It is the best medicine for me that is on the market for liver and kidney troubles and dyspepsia and other complaints. Rev. A. G. LEWIS. This is the month of coughs, colds and acute catarrh. Do you catch cold easily? Find yourself hoarse, with a tickling in your throat and an annoying cough at night? Then you should always have handy a bottle of Ballard's Horehound Syrup. J.A. Anderson, 354 West 5th St., Salt Lake City, writes: "We use Ballard's Horehound Syrup for coughs and colds. It gives immediate relief. We know it's the best remedy for these troubles.

I took many a bottle of different 'Patent medicines' without effect. I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and ten months afterward I gave birth to a ten-pound boy. All physicians had stated as a fact that I never could bear a child. Both the baby and myself were strong, and I got along splendidly—thanks to your medicine. I do my own work and feel very much encouraged. I wish all suffering women would thoroughly try your 'Favorite Prescription.' IS A WOMAN'S WORD GOOD? Upon the answer to that question depends the value of statements such as those made by Mrs. De Ford. She "doctored with many physicians—some specialists," without benefit. She has "twice been in hospital." Her "case was regarded as a hopeless one." She turned to the use of "patent medicines without effect." And after all this suffering and the failures of the medicines and doctors, she was cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Any woman who can read such a statement as Mrs. De Ford's and doubt its truth casts a doubt upon the truthfulness of women at large. For this testimonial is only one of thousands written by women glad and grateful for healing by the use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. But if Mrs. De Ford's testimony be accepted as true, what an avenue of hope it opens to the suffering of her sex, even to those who have seemingly exhausted all medical skill and medicinal means of cure. "Over one year ago I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce for advice," says Mrs. R. M. Clites, of 1205 Williams Street, Omaha, Nebraska. "Had been doctoring with two of my home physicians for blood poison. They did not do me much good—only for a short time. Dr. Pierce recommended his medicines and I took three bottles of his 'Favorite Prescription' and two of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and now I feel better than for more than ten years. I am so very thankful that I heard of Dr. Pierce's medicines, I cannot thank him too much for his kind advice to me." FOUNDED ON FACTS. Every claim made for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has a cure right behind it. And behind this cure are thousands of other cures. "Favorite Prescription" establishes regularity, dries offensive and weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It is the best preparative for motherhood; 9 block A, Benedict's subdivision of Halladay tract; $2000. Peter Berg and Eva Berg to FJ Heil—SEI of nwf of swl, section 12-4-10, 10 acres; $10.

Why should not the story of such as these make appeal to human sympathy and stir men to organized effort for their relief. RELIEF IS READY. More and more with every month of every year women are learning that a call for help in their weakness and sickness will be promptly answered by Dr. R V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y. Of the average of five thousand letters received by Dr. Pierce each week in the year a large number are from weak and sick women who ask for relief from pain, rescue from the loneliness and desolation of a life which disease has robbed all its brightness. Every such letter is regarded as a cry for help, and the Ravida's Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N.Y., of which Dr. Pierce is chief consulting physician and surgeon, is organized for the rescue of just such weak and sick women. With his staff of nearly a score of physicians, each man a specialist, Dr. Pierce responds to the appeal of suffering women as promptly as the crew of a life-boat respond to the appeal of distressed mariners. By his medicines and advice hundreds of thousands of sick women have been made well. "I wish to add my testimony to hundreds of others as to the value of Dr. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. Ida M. De Ford, of Latona, Hubbard Co., Minn. "Have doctored with a great many physicians—some specialists; have twice been in a hospital for treatment. My case has been regarded as a hopeless one, and they knew not what the trouble was. Heart was bad; stomach all out of order; tired out, severe pains in all parts of the body; sinking spells and nearly every ailment a woman could innutrition annually?
