BUSINESS CONTINUES GOOD. R. G. Dun's Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for November in Southern California. Business activity throughout the country is in excess of previous years. Prices are well up to highest points in eighteen months and liberal consumption sustains the prices. Cereal crops are large. There will be liberal surplus for export. Producers are certain of profitable prices, which is not usual in years of heavy product. Railway traffic continues congested. Foreign commerce is unusually large. In our immediate district the conditions and prospects are all that could be reasonably desired. Farmers are busy plowing and seeding. The walnut season ended during the month past was most satisfactory both in yield and price. In some instances growers received 112 cents for selected softshells. The sugar campaign also closed most successfully with sugar output aggregating 45,000 tons. Bean market is active. More than ¼ of crop of limas is out of growers' hands. Whether or not the holders can make any appreciable advance on present price of 4.25 f. o. b. remains to be tested. Demand for early celery exceeded the supply. Prices ranged 6 ct-doz higher on carload lots. It is being shipped this year f.o.b., not consigned. Induced the early estimates of growing orange crop were optimistic; there is not nearly so much fruit grown as last year. However, indications are that the season will be a record breaker in prices realized. Planting and shipping for holiday trade is at its height. Fruit is well colored and good size. Prices for lemons have fallen off. The market is settling to usual winter level. Dried fruit market is in excellent shape, no over supply in any line. Shipments were very heavy in November. Market is quieter now and will probably continue so until after first of new year. Southern California has probably 40 carloads yet unshipped. There is good demand for holiday raisins and demand for seeded continuity in heavy that seeders are refusal. Bledsoe Denies Fulter's Nonsuit Continued from First page an extent which cannot be compensated in damages or could not be computed by the most intelligent and learned expert. It would seem to me that the gist of the proposition is this—the lower riparian proprietors have a right to have the water flow down the stream of the Santa Ana river except in so far as may be necessary for reasonable use by the upper riparian proprietors on riparian lands. If they have a title to that water it is as much their property as is the soil which forms part of their estate. In fact, as the Supreme court has said, it is "a part and parcel of their estate." If Mr. Fuller can irrigate his lands which are non-riparian to the river, and put the water to a more beneficial use than can the plaintiffs on the Durkee lands, then for the same reason he can come down and take a parcel of their other property if he can prove he could make better use of such property than they can themselves. It seems to me that the proposition resolves itself into the question whether or not a court of equity can award the property of one person to another because the other may make a better use than the person in whom the title is vested. There is no magic in a court of equity which will allow it to take property from one person and give it to another who can make better use of it, even if thereby the waters of our arid region are saved. A man has the right to the enjoyment of his property whether in that river or not; and to say it can be taken away and given to somebody else because somebody else can make a better use of it, is to strike at the very foundation of the laws which have for a thousand years guaranteed the right of private ownership of private property. It has been suggested that there has been no showing here that plaintiffs have been injured. They have been injured because a certain proportion of the water which they are entitled to have flow down past their premises has been taken away from them by one not entitled to take it—by a stranger, by one who has, to use a rather strained expression, no privity with them; a non-riparian owner. It is not a case where a non-riparian owner, a straager, or water from the river in an inappropriate form were calling attention to one of the richest men of the working in his garden like a laborer for his health's sake and same cause living abstemiously or which a laborer would despise. A conspicuous example of the people whose success seems almost impossible was found in this newspaper. Dried fruit market is in excellent shape, no over supply in any line. Shipments were very heavy in November. Market is quiet now and will probably continue so until after first of new year. Southern California has probably 40 carloads yet unshipped. There is good demand for holiday rains and demand for seeded continues so heavy that seeders are refusing for present to book further orders. The association made 1 cent advance in prices during the month. There is a fair demand for canned goods. The pack will be about 500,000 cases less than last year. Stocks are already badly broken. The outlook in oil industry continues to brighten. The market demand is overmaking supply and prices are advancing. It begins to look as if field work might soon be resumed without the restraint in production that has characterized past months. Locally the volume of business is seasonably large. Building activity continues. November permits made baner record of the year. Demand for money is active, caused by marked business and real estate activity. There is money enough to meet all legitimate demands. Failures for month, 8. Liabilities, $7,500. Assets, $2,500. For same month last year, 4 failures. Liabilities, $9,000. Assets, $3,500. The Christmas Dinner In spite of the fact that the word dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the Christmas dinner with little appetite and end it with distress or nausea. It may not be fair for any to do that—let us hope so for the sake of the cook! The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hood's Sarasparilla. It gives the stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates appetite and makes eating the pressure it should be. School Funds. Superintendent of Schools Greeley has announced the following apportionment of school funds derived from the first payment of county taxes. The apportionment is made on the basis of $235 per teacher on the school census for the year ending June 30, 1902: Alamitos, $233.50; Aliso, $233.50; Anaheim, $2583.50; Bolsa, $468.50; Buena Park, $468.50; Centralla, $468.50; Chico, $233.50; Cypress, $233.50; Delhi, $233.50; Diamond, $233.50; El Modena, $703.50; El Toro, $233.50; Fairview, $233.50; Fountain Valley, $468.50; Fullerton, $1173.50; Garden Grove, $703.50; Laguna, $233.50; La Habra, $468.50; Laurel, $468.50; Magnolia, $468.50; Mountain View, $468.50; Newhope, 233.50; Newport, $233.50; Newport Beach, $703.50; Olinda, $468.50; Olive, $468.50; Orange, $1878.50; Orangethorpe, $468.50; Peralta, $233.50; Placentia, $703.50; San Joaquin, $233.50; San Juan, $703.50; Santa Ana, $493.50; Silverado, $233.50; Trabuco, $233.50; It must be further taken into consideration that they were not ordinary waters flowing in the stream, but they were unused waters which had come from the swamp and overflowed lands and had been brought into the stream by the reclamation efforts of other parties. The case of Vernon against the City of Los Angeles was decided, as the opinion in the case shows, because the waters in the stream which were diverted by the upper proprietors never could be got down to the lands of the lower proprietor. It appeared in the pleadings and was found as a fact that he intended to divert those very same waters himself for use on non-riparian lands. In that case he had been doing a wrong which took away from the case the very reason for the rule which is to be applied in this case. The waters never could reach the lower riparian lands; consequently could not artificially or naturally irrigate them. They were to be taken away by him before they reached those lands as he diverted them at or near the upper portion of his premises. Then there is also the other case. At the newspapers were calling attention to one of the richest men of working in his garden like a laborer for his health's sake and same cause living abstemiously or which a laborer would despise. A conspicuous example of the people whose success seems almost failure" means heart failure," the kidneys, liver, lungs and an organ, inasmuch as each and every of the body is dependent on the for its nutrition and therefore vitality. For this reason no vitals can ever give the number who fall victims to disease of such ach and the other organs of diet and nutrition, because the cause decease is charged to other organs ceased through the stomach. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH? Is it "weak" lungs, "weak kidney" trouble," liver" trouble ease of any other organ? You think back it originates in a diseased of the stomach and its allied digestion and nutrition. The best of this is that diseases of heart lungs, kidneys, etc., are constantly cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Discovery which is primarily a medicine for the cure of disease stomach and of the blood. And all its organs are sustained properly digested and assimilated when converted into blood for nutrition by which physical life new day by day and meal. The total crop grown for the amounted to 97,605 tons. Of the crop at the commencement the harvest was 90,000 tons 12,407 tons were shipped to the factory. The Chino ranch 16,548 tons, the balance of coming from Compton, Florida minster and other parts of Los Angeles counties. A force of 80 men is now at the cleanup in the factory. A days this will be reduced men who will be retained next campaign opens. Manager Schroeder informs Champion that application tracts for next year are common satisfactory manner. Already cover a large area Compton, and are coming other sections which produce this year. Rights. Ethel — That Jimson girl skirt very high. May — What of it? She hight. Jack — A perfect left, too, “To say a pl To say a plea word to anyone almost impossible I was troubled with female eight years; and suffered more than writes Mrs. Gust. Moser of Owam Co., Mont. My disposition was an extent that to say a pleasant word to anyone was almost impossible. I had two operations performed by one of the most skilled surgeons of the West, but did not get relief. Then, against my doctor's strict orders, I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and also followed the advice given in the Common Sense Medical Adviser. I continued this treatment for three months, and to-day am as healthy and well as a woman can be. I cannot thank Doctor Pierce enough for his kind letters to me." Womanly diseases, as a rule, spoil the "disposition," because of the extreme nervousness and suffering they piness as well as health in the woman whose disease cured by the use of Dr. Pierce Prescription.

The Indian they seem to play with victim, until some day when he has had the height of success and is taken him down, perhaps never to rise or mayhap to drag out the reefer of existence in physical pain orivation. best example of such a malevolent creature is found in dyspepsia and allied of "stomach trouble." Not long after that, but when the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, the nutritive properties are not extracted from food, the blood becomes poor, the body lacks adequate nourishment and the flesh "falls away." The weakness consequent on this loss of nutrition will generally find its expression in some one organ which has been longest starved. Thus as starvation causes weakness, when the nutrition falls short of the needs of the body we may look for the expression of that weakness in some one organ—lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, or any other vital organ of the body. When the diseased stomach is cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, then the diseases of other organs which originated in the disease of the stomach are cured also. WHAT PEOPLE SAY. "Your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy have been of great benefit to me," writes (Prof.) Pleasant A. Oliver, of Viola, Fulton Co., Ark. "Before I used the above mentioned remedies my sleep was not sound; digestion bad; a continual feeling of misery. I now feel like a new man." "I have been taking your medicines," writes Mrs. W. M. Bowers, of Lynch, Boyd Co., Neb., "and I can't say enough in their praise. They have helped me more than all our doctors have helped me in two years' doctoring. I spent dollars upon dollars for my lungs and received no benefit from the medicine I took, until a lady friend advised me to write to Dr. Pierce. I did so, took his kind advice, and am now so well as to be able to do my own work. I also took the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and the 'Pellets' six months for liver disease and indigestion, as the kind doctor advised. I know that they reached the case, as they have helped me so." "I have taken your medicine with the greatest satisfaction," writes Mrs. George Riehl, of Lockport Station, Westmoreland Co., Pa., "and can honestly say Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has cured me of a pain in my right lung that the best doctors could not help. My appetite and digestion have improved so that I can eat anything at all, and I feel better than I have for years. My pain is all gone and I feel like a new person." "I am glad to testify to the benefits derived from Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Miss Mary Belle. FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. 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, 41 miles from the foot-hills, and 1481 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 the newspapers were calling attention to one of the richest men of the age working in his garden like a common farmer for his health's sake and for the one cause living abstemiously on a diet which a laborer would despise. There's conspicuous example of the class of people whose success seems almost failure. But how many people are struck down fatally in the hours of success, man can absolutely say. Stomache means heart failure, the failure of kidneys, liver, lungs and any other organ, inasmuch as each and every organ of the body is dependent on the stomach for its nutrition and therefore for its vitality. For this reason no vital statistics can ever give the number of those who fall victims to disease of the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition, because the cause of their disease is charged to other organs diseased through the stomach. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? Is it "weak" lungs, "weak" heart, kidney "trouble," liver "trouble" or disease of any other organ? You will find in general, if you trace the disease back it originates in a diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. The best proof of this is that diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., are constantly being caused by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which is primarily and chiefly medicine for the cure of diseases of the stomach and of the blood. The body and all its organs are sustained by food, properly digested and assimilated, which when converted into blood forms the nutrition by which physical life is renewed day by day, and meal by meal. Other figures this means that this long, steady stream of beets from our fields was turned into 20,500,000 pounds, or 10,250 tons of fine granulated sugar. Loaded into freight cars of ten tons each, it would take a train of 1025 cars so haul this to market. This would make 52 trainloads of 20 cars each. The total crop grown for this factory amounted to 97,605 tons. The estimate of the crop at the commencement of the harvest was 90,000 tons. Of this 12,407 tons were shipped to the Oxnard Factory. The Chino ranch produced 16,548 tons, the balance of the crop coming from Compton, Florence, Westminster and other parts of Orange and Los Angeles counties. A force of 80 men is now at work on the cleanup in the factory. After a few days this will be reduced to about 25 men who will be retained until the next campaign opens. Manager Schroeder informs the Champion that applications for contracts for next year are coming in in a satisfactory manner. Applications already cover a large acreage about Compton, and are coming in from all other sections which produced beets this year. RIGHTS. Ethel — That Jimson girl lifts her skirt very high.

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 .6577 860,038 Orange .2888 599,486 Riverside .2440 427,067 San Bernardino .2350 219,182 San Diego .2998 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 .85,044 Orange .41,549 Riverside .32,947 San Bernardino .37,877 San Diego .16,022 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 miles. 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. A.J.Snell wanted to attend a party but was afraid to do so on account of pain in his stomach, which he feared would grow worse. He says: "I was telling my troubles to a lady friend, who said: 'Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy will put you in condition for the party.' I bought a bottle and take pleasure in stating that two doses cured me and water lightening plant. Forestry for Farm WASHINGTON, D.C., Dee The farmers of this county about 500,000 acres owe ten times the acreage of all forest reserves. Most of it small wood-lots from which derive their timber supplies purposes. It was to help the farmer for his timberland that Forestry several years ago to furnish him without services of its forests. Proved popular, and applied assistance have far exceedance of the bureau with its training for his timber. Two been employed in the north who have examined and managed several acres of woodland. A great deal of wood every year on the farm for poles and other uses. Of farmer cuts what he thought as to whether he had power of his forest yield its supplies. The forest becomes poor and less able to furnish owner needs. The skillless excises in the management is not of the kind that entitle manage properly his time the services of a forester. Usually, only one visit to the bureau's expert is required with owner. When as occupies a second visit to owner is required to pay and living expenses of the employed at the work. Coughing Spell Causes "Harry Duckwell, choked to death early after at his home in the country." "To say a pleasant word to anyone was almost impossible." "I was troubled with female weakness for eight years; and suffered more than I can tell," writes Mrs. Gust. Moser of Ovando, Deerledge Co., Mont. My disposition was affected to such an extent that to say a pleasant word to anyone was almost impossible. "I had two operations performed by one of the most skilled surgeons of the West, but did not get relief. Then against my doctor's strict orders, I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and also followed the advice given in the Common Sense Medical Adviser. I continued this treatment for three months, and to-day am as healthy and well as a woman can be. I cannot thank Doctor Pierce enough for his kind letters to me." Womanly diseases, as a rule, spoil the "disposition," because of the extreme nervousness and suffering they cause. Happiness as well as health is restored to the woman whose diseased condition is cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. After eight years of suffering and two fruitless operations, three months' use of "Favorite Prescription" restored Mrs. Moser to perfect health.

The farmers of this country own about 500,000,000 acres of woodland, ten times the acreage of all the federal forest reserves. Most of it consists of small wood-lots from which the owners derive their timber supplies for farm purposes. It was to help the farmer in caring for his timberland that the Bureau of Forestry several years ago undertook to furnish him, without cost, with the services of its foresters. The offer proved popular, and applications for assistance have far exceeded the ability of the bureau with its limited number of trained foresters, to answer them. During the season just passed the bureau has accomplished more than ever before in putting small wood-lots under forest management and in teaching the farmer how properly to treat his timber. Two experts have been employed in the north and south who have examined and have put under management several thousand acres of woodland. A great deal of wood is consumed every year on the farm for fuel, posts, poles and other uses. Ordinarily, the farmer cuts what he needs without thought as to whether he is lessening the power of his forest constantly to yield its supplies. The result is that the forest becomes poorer every year and less able to furnish the wood its owner needs. The skill the farmer exercises in the management of his crops is not of the kind that enables him to manage properly his timber. He needs the services of a forester. Usually, only one visit to the farm by the bureau's expert is necessary, and this service is given without cost to the owner. When, as occasionally happens, a second visit is needed, the owner is required to pay the traveling and living expenses of the expert while employed at the work.

Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the menstrual functions and is a most astonishing tonic for women. It cures scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregular and painful menstruation, falling of the womb, whites and flooding. It is helpful when approaching womanhood, during pregnancy, after child-birth and in change of life. It frequently brings a dear baby to homes that have been barren for years.
