ELECTRIC RAILWAY TALK AT WHITTIER H. E. Huntington and Party Visit that Town Looking After Right of Way and Other Matters. H. E. Huntington and party of railroad associates paid an official visit to Whittier one day last week and revived discussion of the early beginning of work upon the electric railway to run between Los Angeles and that town. With him were G. E. Pillsbury, chief engineer; Epes Randolph, L. H. Johnson and W. J. Hole, the latter being in charge of the work of securing right of way through the upper valley. Huntington drove over the proposed line from Los Angeles to Whittier, and after luncheon drove over the route through the La Habra valley as far as Brea canyon. Huntington said that while he did not like to be held down by specific pledges, yet his plans were big and would greatly benefit Whittier, and "as far as passenger traffic is concerned Whittier will be on the main line." He further stated that most of the right of way from Los Angeles to the San Gabriel river had been secured and some of it from the river to Whittier. When asked as to the time required to build the line he first turned to Manager Randolph with a question as to the amount of material on hand, and then replied that sixty days after the right of way is settled the road would be practically complete. The Long Beach line is longer and that took seventy-two days to complete. It is the plan of the syndicate to grade the Whittier line for a double track, but pending positive knowledge of the amount of business to be had from this point only one track will be built. When found that the volume of business will warrant it the second track will be put in. The Whittier board of trade held a meeting with some of the valley ranchers the afternoon of Huntington's visit to discuss ways and means to hasten the settlement of right of way problems and the building of the road. Jurors Get Fees The constitutionality of the legislative enactment allowing jurors a fee of $2 for each day's service in criminal cases was affirmed by the supreme court on Saturday in the suit of Andrew Jackson against Auditor Baer. Mr. Armor Dissects Bill Continued from First page would dominate its appointments, if the members were not already predisposed in favor of his political preference. This Board is given almost unlimited power to appoint deputies in every county of the State by Section 69 of the bill. As a rule water is not very potent in politics; but it would be, if this system were inaugurated, and that, too, without its usual cleansing effect. On the contrary, if the irrigating water of the State must be filtered through the filthy pool of politics, then, in the language of our friend, William E. Smythe, "God help the unfortunate farmers, who depend for their small ditches upon the waters of a stream placed in the hands of 'deputy engineers,' employed by great private corporations but acting under the power of the State in 'regulating such supply and the use and the manner thereof.'" "Every concession in the bill to local self-government has a string to it, whereby it may be withdrawn. For instance, Section 45 graciously permits persons or corporations supplying water for irrigation or domestic use to fix and establish such rates as they may deem reasonable and just; but it immediately adds that ten percent of the users under any system may have the rates changed. Now any one can see that it would be an easy matter to persuade ten per cent, or even twenty-five per cent, of the users under any system to ask for a change. The law permits a majority of a city to incorporate; but it requires two-thirds to disincorporate, which is right. It ought to be made easier in the law to organize than to disorganize, to build up than to pull down. Assuming for the sake of argument that the Board can fix rates when asked to do so, why make the necessary percentage on a petition so low? Supposing that the users have sufficient data to determine whether the rates are reasonable and just or not, which is not always the case, such rates cannot be very oppressive, when at least a majority of the users do not object to them. It is denied, however that this bill, or any other..." Jurors Get Fees The constitutionality of the legislative enactment allowing jurors a fee of $2 for each day's service in criminal cases was affirmed by the supreme court on Saturday in the suit of Andrew Jackson against Auditor Baehr of San Francisco. It is held that the state Legislature has a perfect right to fix the compensation of jurors in any sort of a case. It is also decided that $2 must be paid a juror for every day of attendance at a trial, even though he perform no jury duty. A mileage of 15 cents is also allowed for each mile traveled by a juror in going to a trial. A juror is defined as "any person selected and summoned according to law to serve in that capacity, whether the jury has been actually impaneled and sworn or not." Another act passed at the same time as the foregoing and providing that all persons who had served on juries in criminal cases since 1895 should receive $2 for each day of duty was declared unconstitutional. The suit was brought in the name of Roland Powell against James D. Phelan as mayor of San Francisco. Had the claim been allowed many thousands of dollars would have had to be paid from the city treasury for back fees. The court holds that this previous service at the time it was rendered had been considered gratuitous, and that the Legislature in passing the law violated Article IV of the State Constitution, which says: "The Legislature shall have no power to make any gift of any public money or thing of value to any individual, municipal or other corporation." The court adds in conclusion a statement to the effect that if the claims for back fees were allowed, jurors who had served at any time in the history of the state would be entitled to recover public monies. Money in Walnuts The Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers' association, controlling the district contiguous to Santa Ana, some days ago declared a final dividend of $26,000 to its stockholders and closed its packing house after one of the most successful seasons in its history. A total of $143,828.49 net has been disbursed to members of the association during the season. Total shipments of the year amount to 78 carloads of ten tons each, or more than 1,560,000 pounds. The cost of packing has been $5,050. Record-breaking prices were received, first-grade soft shells netting the grower 9.44 cents a pound and hard shells 8.90 cents. Second quality sold for 78 cents a pound. The total walnut crop of the Santa Ana valley amounted to 1400 tons and of Orange county more than 2600 tons, for which the growers received in excess of half a million dollars net. Section 5 leaves blanks for the Legislature to fill in with the salaries of the chief and assistant engineers; but the commission, in its report, recommends that such salaries be made liberal. Section 7 allows deputies to be appointed at the expense of the irrigators, and Section 69 authorizes their appointment at the expense of the State. Section 64 gives a list of fees that must be paid by appropriators and others; but this list, formidable as it may seem, is a mere magatelle compared with the expense of the Board of Engineers and the order of deputies, who will go up and down the State like task-masters and acquisitors, spying into this and asking about that, ordering one thing to be done and forbidding another. Just what that expense will be some of the engineers, who have not yet been appointed deputies, can tell better than; but with my limited observation along that line I can readily believe that it will be simply collossal. All this expense, too, is additional to the cost of supervision, construction and maintenance of works and to the expense of running the water. Jones, we pays the freight;" every dollar of this unnecessary expense will fall upon the irrigators and taxpayers of the State. Section 85 of the bill repeals twelve sections of the Civil Code of this State, some other acts and all other laws and parts of laws in conflict with it.' As a matter of course, all of the precedents of the decisions under these laws would be swept aside as inapplicable to the new order of things. These decisions have cost an average probably $10,000 a side. Some time ago my daughter was severely cold. She complained in her chest and had a bad cough according to directions she she was well and abc school. I have used this remedy family for the past seven have never known it to fail.

Sir Theodore wrought enough to make a cautious hand of the poem, and he gave notes as danger signs passages of doubtful propriety. The marked copy changed to the hands of a rather court lady. "I have so wonderful work," she said "and it has been such an ad read it after the queen," placed marks against the main parts, and oh, what exquisite dear queen has!" she added; she dangered signals of Sir Thinne. Arts and the Stage Mr Albert Chevalier, 'coaster' impersonator, was recipient of a letter from who had heard him singong, "My Old Dutch." Impudent wrote that when he theater that night he had become divorced from his longing to constant disagreement with her, but the song him that he resolved to do sort, but to make an effusive newer and better life.

Aching Joints In the fingers, toes, arms, and other parts of the body, are joints that are inflamed and swollen by rheumatism—that acid condition of the blood which affects the muscles also. Sufferers dread to move, especially after sitting or lying long, and their condition is commonly worse in wet weather. "It has been a long time since we have been without Hood's Sarsaparilla. My father thinks he could not do without it. He has been troubled with rheumatism since he was a boy, and Hood's Sarsaparilla is the only medicine he can take that will enable him to take his place in the field." Miss Ada Doty, Sidney, Iowa. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Remove the cause of rheumatism—no outward application can. Take them. "Section 85 of the bill repeals twelve sections of the Civil Code of this State, some other acts 'and all other laws and parts of laws in conflict with it.' As a matter of course, all of the precedents of the decisions under these laws would be swept aside as inapplicable to the new order of things. These decisions have cost an average probably $10,000 a side and represent the gleanings from the laws and decisions of every State in the Union. At such enormous expense certain conclusions have been reached and certain principles established that are eminently just and fair, and are well understood by the people. Some writers blame the laws on the cause of the litigation; but no law is considered absolutely valid until it has been tested in the courts. The good book tells us to 'prove all things and hold fast that which is good.' The proving has been done with the present laws; why should the knowledge and experience be thrown away? The same process will have to be gone over with any new law; the more unreasonable its provisions the more litigation it will provoke. On this point Mr. Smythe says: Talk about the litigation under the present system! Talk about shotgun methods in the distribution of water! Wait until the lawyers have a chance to tackle eighty-five sections of this law and you will see litigation! And wait until the deputy engineers paid by such person, company or corporation, begin to distribute the water at the expense of the people who cannot afford to employ such private police and you will hear the voice of the shotgun in the land." "The people of the State cannot afford to throw away all the knowledge and experience, acquired in the last half a century at such a fearful cost, and then experiment with a deadfall like the proposed irrigation bill. It should be defeated at all hazards." THEY WANT ALFALFA Arthur May & Co., 124 Main street, Johannesburg, South Africa, are in need of more alfalfa, as the following note to the California State Agricultural Society will show: "I applied to the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington for particulars of the chief centers in which alfalfa or Lucerne hay is grown. I am favored with their reply, giving me Central California." "We buy this stuff in rather large quantities (cargo lots.) We have been buying chiefly from the Argentine, but are now looking for fresh sources of supply. "I shall be much obliged if you will kindly inform me whether or not there is a sufficient quantity grown in your state for export in large quantities, and if so, I shall be glad if you will give me the names of some of the best firms for handling this business. I much prefer dealing with the pressers themselves, rather than through some coast commission house." "Should your official capacity prevent you from giving me the names of any of these houses, I shall be glad if you will refer me to some guide or directory from which I can get the names." "Thanking you in anticipation of an early reply, yours truly, (Signed) "A. C MAY." "Please address reply to this letter to room 18, 58 William street, New York City." The Spirit of Winter The Spirit of Winter is with us, making its presence known in many different ways—sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, and sometimes by driving winds and blinding storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in making bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder, fingers sharper, catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of colds are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these all-night. The medicine that cures them is Bood's Sarsaparilla—is easily obtained and there is abundant proof that it comes are radical and permanent. So Jack is engaged, is he? Ana is Lucy the bride-to-be?

I Ten Poor Boys William McKinley's early home was plain and comfortable and his father was able to keep him at school. Millard Fillmore was a son of a New York farmer, and his home was a humble one. He learned the business of a clothier. Andrew Jackson was born in a log hut in North Carolina, and was reared in the pine woods for which his state is famous. John Adams, second president, was the son of a grocer of very moderate means. The only start he had was a good education. Grover Cleveland's father was a Presbyterian minister with a small salary and a large family. The boys had to earn their living. Ulysses S. Grant lived the life of a village boy in a plain home on the banks of the Ohio river until he was 17 years of age. Abraham Lincoln was the son of a wretchedly poor farmer in Kentucky and lived in a log cabin until he was 21 years old. James K. Polk spent the earlier years of his life helping to dig a living out of the farm in North Carolina. He was afterward clerk in a country store. Andrew Jackson was apprenticed to a tailor at the age of 10 years by his widowed mother. He was never able to attend school and picked up all the education he ever had. James A. Gardfield was born in a log cabin. He worked on a farm until he was strong enough to use carpenter's tools, when he learned that trade. He afterwards worked on a canal. A Cure for Lumbago W. C.

Sketch of the industries and Resources or this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 41 miles from the foot-hills, and 148 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 or hand 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. Annaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, estrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. "Some time ago my daughter caught in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well and able to go to school. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," says Jas Prendegast, merchant, Annato Bay, Jamalaea, West India Islands. The pain in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly ward off by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. Sold by all druggists. Queen Victoria's Marked Poem. Here is a funny story told of a happening at the English court: Sir Theodore Martin had been requested by Victoria to read aloud from "The Ring and the Book." Sir Theodore was courtier enough to make a cautious study before hand of the poem, and he placed marginal notes as danger signals against passages of doubtful propriety. The marked copy chanced to come into the hands of a rather thoughtless court lady. "I have so enjoyed this wonderful work," she said to a friend, "and it has been such an advantage to read it after the queen, for she has placed marks against the most beautiful parts, and, oh, what exquisite taste the dear queen has!" she added, pointing to the danger signals of Sir Theodore Martin—Quitter. Merrals and the Stage. Mr Albert Chevalier, the famous 'coster' impersonator, was once the recipient of a letter from a gentleman who had heard him sing his famous song, "My Old Dutch." The correspondent wrote that when he entered the theater that night he had intended to become divorced from his wife, owing to constant disagreements and troubles with her, but the song so affected him that he resolved to do nothing of the sort, but to make an effort toward a newer and better life. Mr. Chevalier stated that the note evidently came from an educated man, and he had every belief in its genuineness. When Hawthorne's celebrated "Scarlet Letter" was being performed, a young man wrote a very impressive letter to the management. "I entered the theater last night," he said, "with a very great sin in contemplation. I need not go into details, but it will suffice to say that the deed I had in my mind would have ruined a home in this city. But when the play was over I saw only too clearly how terrible are the consequences of sin, and I thank God that I can now affirm that I have put it out of my mind forever."—London Standard.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One or 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: 6777 865,063 Orange: 2888 569,430 Riverside: 2440 427,097 San Bernardino: 2500 219,171 San Diego: 2088 869,419 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: 83,644 Orange: 41,549 Riverside: 37,947 San Bernardino: 37,747 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 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. Rev. Carlie P. B. Morton, LL.D. Waverly, Texas; writes: Of a morning, when first rising, I often find a troublesome collection of phlegm, which produces a cough, and is very hard to dislodge; but a small quantity of Ballard’s Horehound Syrup will at once dislodge it, and the trouble is over.

The jury returned a verdict of accidental death on the man who fell from the window ledge on which he had fallen asleep. But the death was really due to carelessness which made the accident possible. There are a great many lives suddenly terminated as a result of carelessness, although the medical certificate may read "heart failure." When a man takes chances with his stomach and neglects the warning symptoms of disease, he is carelessly inviting calamity. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of food, which makes strength. It stimulates the liver, cures biliousness, and removes bilious impurities from the blood. "I had been troubled with a pain in lower part of my stomach for three years, so severe I thought it would kill me in time," writes Mr. Aaron Van Dam of (Russington) 259, righ St. Chicago, Ill. I could hardly work; it felt like a big weight hanging on me and rot so bad that I had to take medicine. I used Stomach hitters for a time, but it did no good so I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce for advice, which he gave me immediately. I followed his directions; used two bottles of his medicine and was cured. I had a torpid liver which was troubling me instead of cramps (as I thought), so Dr. Pierce told me. I have pleasure in living now; have gained in weight 15 pounds since then." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They do not beget the pill habit.
