The Work of Cartier, Champlain and Others In the Great Lakes. W. S. Harwood writes in St. Nicholas of "The Great Lakes." Mr. Harwood says: Jacques Cartier, who shipped from St. Malo in 1584, explored the coast of Newfoundland and made the circuit of the gulf of St. Lawrence, and he did much else, too, for New France in opening up negotiations with the many tribes of Indians who thronged thousands strong and friendly from all the regions in and about Quebec and Montreal and Ottawa and Kingston. Another mariner of St. Malo—Francis Greene—began the colonization of the land. About 1570, in France, Samuel de Champlain was born, and when he reached the age of early manhood he, too, joined in the new world exploration in the region above the great lakes. The kings of France were much interested in the new land and did all in their power not only to explore the region, but to colonize and develop it. Champlain, in 1615, made an expedition up the Ottawa river and penetrated as far as into Georgian bay, thus touching on the waters of Lake Huron. In 1618 Etienne Brule, an old interpreter, came into Champlain's camp with the news of the discovery of Lake Superior. Lake Erie, with Outario, was probably discovered some time earlier than this. Nicollet, in 1634, started in a canoe from the head of Georgian bay, skirted the eastern and northern shores of Huron and at last found himself at Sault Ste. Marie, or the falls of St. Mary, now shortened to "Soo"—the first white man, it is believed, to reach this key to the noble lake beyond. He went as far as Green bay, on Lake Michigan, and so the various lakes at last came into the actual knowledge of the explorers and were no longer myths. But as these French explorers continued to develop new and hitherto undreamed of possibilities of empire the English began to take deep interest in the region—an interest little less marked than that they were then taking in their schemes of colonization in Virginia and Massachusetts.

Again and again through the years that follow the threads cross and recross, not weaving a beautiful garment of harmony, but tangling in a wretched snarl, a patchwork of disputes between the nations. Entanglement followed entanglement, wars harassed the land, until at last the English were masters of the northern lake region for all time—unless some day we shall see the stars and stripes floating from the heights of Quebec. His Method. The little girl who was visiting at a neighbor's house had gone out to look at the horses. "Here's one of them," she said, "that has watery eyes and coughs and hangs his head just the way papa's horse did last summer." "What did your papa do for his horse?" asked the owner of the animals. "He sold him," was the innocent answer.—Pearson's Weekly. The Grumpy Bachelor.

OF ANAHEIM ANNUAL REPORT OF THE A. U. W. CO. President Discusses the Tuffree Agreement. Yorha Reservoir, Joint Agreement, Financial Condition. Ete. To the Stockholders of the A. U. W. Co.: Believing that it is desirable that the president of this corporation should at the end of each year review the work accomplished during the year for the information of the stockholders, I present this report. I had intended to present it at the first meeting of the board in January, in order that stockholders might have time to read and digest matters of information herein contained, and be prepared to discuss matters of interest at the annual meeting should they desire to do so, but illness prevented. I shall deal with the matters treated of in this report under general heads rather than in chronological order. THE TUFFREE AGREEMENT. The preceding board had entered into an agreement with Col. J. K. Tuffree and wife, by which all the ditches on their property were to be cemented except a small section of the main canal in the northeast corner and the night storage reservoir, located partly on their property, was to be cleaned to the "original level." This work was to be completed by January 1, 1902, but owing to various causes of delay was not completed when the present board entered upon its duties in February. Two items of work were also ordered which were not included in the original agreement—viz., the change of location of the main canal at a point about 1500 feet east of the reservoir, so as to enter the reservoir at the northeast corner at a higher elevation than the former inlet, and the construction of an overflow ditch on the east side of the reservoir to a connection with the outlet ditch. The work specified in the agreement was finally completed, but project as impracticable. An examination was also made at La Habra site on a tract of 400 acres purchased some years ago at a cost of $12,000. Here the conditions were found much more favorable, but no definite conclusion was arrived at. The fact was developed, however, that for an equal expenditure of money, about three times as much water could be stored as at the Yorba site. It seems incredible that some stockholders still advocate the construction of this impossible project, and also the reinstatement of the engineer responsible for this ridiculous fiasco. It may as well be definitely abandoned, as in case any attempt is made to go on with the work, the residents below the dam, as well as many stockholders, will ask for an injunction, and there can be no doubt that they would do so successfully. THE JOINT AGREEMENT. Early in the present year the S. A. V. I. company brought up the matter of the proposed extension of a joint canal. Scully's point, a distance of about 4500 feet above our headgate, and the granting to them of a right of way in our canal for a distance of about three miles below the headgate. As these negotiations have been publicly discussed in detail, a brief reference to them is all that space will allow hee. After several fruitless attempts to arrive at an agreement the matter was laid on the table at the request of the representatives of the Santa Ana company. In the consideration of this matter our board was at a great disadvantage from the fact that five of its members had never heard of the matter except in an indefinite way, as it has been kept secret in the joint litigation committee. No plans of proposed works had been considered or estimates of cost prepared, nor did anything definite appear to have been decided upon except that the Santa Ana company were to have a half interest in the right of way and improve tributing ditches. Several other ditches have been ordered cemented, and also one mile of the main canal. The policy of former boards in cementing important distributing ditches wherever the property owners will haul cement and gravel has been continued. The loss of water in distributing ditches is probably greater comparatively than in main canals, and the improvement of them not only saves water but permits of better service, improves the appearance of the district and thus has a substantial influence on the value of property. The cementing of the main canal should, however, be done as soon as possible. It is estimated that the interest on this investment could be paid by the money annually spent in cleaning, and the value of the water saved would equal the capital expended. REVISION OF RULES. The rules of the company were revised during the year and reprinted. The chief changes were in defining the duties of committees and the establishment of a measurement committee whose duty it is to ensure zanjeros distribute the water fairly. A system of gates has been installed which will insure a more even distribution than has been possible heretofore. OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. The floating debt of the company is now about $84,000, in addition to the bonds outstanding amounting to $125,-000. The auditor's report will show these matters in detail. Our debt has somewhat increased since last year, owing to the large amount of construction work done. Some action should be taken to take care of the floating debt by rebounding or otherwise, and if possible reduce the interest charges. The board in July last appointed a large advisory committee in order that some arrangement might be found satisfactory to all, that could command the necessary vote to carry it through.

This contract for the improvement of the main canal at Horseshoe bend was also entered into by the preceding board. It involved a change of line in the main canal and the cementing of about 3000 feet of the canal, including a tunnel 412 feet long, an inverted syphon 285 feet long and a deep cut. It was afterward found necessary to cover the ditch in this cut with an arch about 300 feet in length. The inability of the contractor to complete his work on time caused much loss and annoyance to the company and irrigators, which it was perfectly possible to have avoided by the proper exercise of his powers by the engineer in charge of the work. The contract was finally completed in a satisfactory manner, and also 1200 feet of cement ditch at both ends of this work constructed under the supervision of the superintendent of the company. There is, however, a very serious defect in this new work. Since its completion this board has had the levels run the entire length of the Cajon canal and a profile made. The most practical and economical grade line for cementing the canal is found to be nearly a foot above the grade of the new work, necessitating an abrupt rise in the grade of 8-10 of a foot at the west end of the new work. The alternative is to continue the grade, make a cut of a foot in the bottom of the canal to a point far below flume 8, and to lower all the large flumes, involving an extra expense of not less than $10,000, the compensating advantages for which to be completed by January 1, 1902, but owing to various causes of delay was not completed when the present board entered upon its duties in February. Two items of work were also ordered which were not included in the original agreement—viz., the change of location of the main canal at a point about 1500 feet east of the reservoir, so as to enter the reservoir at the northeast corner at a higher elevation than the former inlet, and the construction of an overflow ditch on the east side of the reservoir to a connection with the outlet ditch. The work specified in the agreement was finally completed, but not to the satisfaction of Col. Tuffree. Not being able to induce the board to sign new agreements satisfactory to himself, he finally served notice on the board that, not having completed its work by January 1, as per agreement, it had forfeited its rights in the premises. Thereupon the board, desiring to anticipate any possible suit for ejection, brought suit to condemn the reservoir site and the various rights of way for ditches. The final settlement of the matter will be had in the courts in due season. In the meantime the board bought of the Stearns Ranch company 20 acres of land, which includes the northern half of the reservoir site, at a cost of $1100. We also raised the reservoir dam about eight feet, largely increasing its capacity, and cemented 700 feet of the new connecting ditch, which was on a fill. The cost of these improvements has been the largest item in the expense account of the present year. THE DAMRON CONTRACT.

NEW BUILDING ANGELES STREET THE YORBA RESERVOIR. This subject has been so fully discussed in the papers during the past year that a brief mention of the facts in the matter will suffice here. The Yorba reservoir site and right of way for an outlet ditch was purchased by the preceding board, who relied upon the reports of engineers made to the former irrigation district, none of which, however, were on file in this office. The cost, including surveys, etc., was about $6000. The members of the present board had all the information with regard to the matter placed on file in the office. Some doubt having arisen as to the sufficiency of the examination of the dam site, a new investigation was ordered. Accordingly a large number of borings were made and many pits sunk at the dam site, revealing the fact that the previous examination was insufficient and in many respects erroneous. The hills flanking the proposed dam were found to consist largely of pure gravel, completely perforated in every direction by squirrel holes. The question of the practicability of the dam was finally submitted to Mr. Fred Eaton, formerly city engineer of Los Angeles, a hydraulic engineer of the first rank, who, after a thorough examination of all the evidence, unhesitatingly condemned the holder. It depends for its success upon the use of the water power to be developed, and in any agreement that may be made in the future with the Santa Ana company we must insist, as a sine qua non, that the water power be used for the mutual benefit. The contention that the power should be given the Santa Ana company because their water would develop the power is absurd and untenable, for the reason that our right of way furnishes the other factor, which is quite as essential, namely, the head of the fall. WATER MEASUREMENTS. Early in October measurements were made at the division gate and at various points in the Cajon and Anaheim canal. At that time there was little loss by evaporation, and the losses as found may be attributed almost wholly to seepage. The details are contained in Mr. Eaton's report. It was found that there is a loss of not less than 500 inches in the upper part of the canal, one-half of which occurs in the quarter mile between the division and headgate. Between the division gate and a point in the Santa Ana canal about four miles below the loss was but 25 inches, although their water runs in the river bed for three miles of that distance. The conclusion is apparent that the seepage from our canal feeds their supply. It is easily possible to prevent two-thirds of this loss at once at small expense, and eventually the whole of it. The loss in the Anaheim canal was found to be not less than 150 inches. This can be saved by the abandonment of that canal during the dry months, taking the water down the Cajon canal to the Tuffree reservoir and building a connection with the Anaheim canal from Crowther's corner, about 5800 feet. This plan will also obviate the necessity for using night water in Anaheim. Thus it appears that we can increase our summer supply by 500 inches or more at small expense, and this should be done as soon as possible. CONSTRUCTION WORK. Since February 1, 1902, there has been cemented about 2200 feet of the main canal, not including the Damron contract, and about 12,000 feet of dis- If Unwell Try a 50c bottle of Herbine, notice the improvement speedily effected in your appetite, energy, strength and vigor.

Sally Pumpkins—Jerushy Ann says Si Hayrake offered her his hand in marriage. Martha Butterline—Land takes! I don't doubt it! He's so 'tarnal awkward he never does know what to do with his hands! "Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains 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.

PHILIPPINES HAS ITS DRAWBACKS Inhabitants Inflicted by Epidemic of Boils—Mexican Money Depreciating—bbbers Becoming Active DEARHOME PEOPLE: Again a beautiful Suday morning has come, and I will occupy a part of it in writing to you. Once store the wheels of Filipino life are running smoothly. Cholera, with its 100,000 victims, has passed into history and is rapidly being forgotten. I have had two weeks of school since that awful epidemic, and only 80 pupils are in attendance now. There remains much sickness in Alimodian and surrounding towns. Perhaps there are more than 500 sick people in this town alone. About 80 percent of these are suffering from "duengy fever." One suffering from it has a high fever, a raging headache and chills. Often it travels about in the body for months, especially if the sufferer is naturally is often the case. This fever claims many victims among the very old and very young, but few in middle life. Another epidemic now raging among the people here is that of boils, which I think result from the fever. This keeps many pupils out of school, but those who do come to school are doing nicely and I enjoy my work as much as ever and the days pass very quickly. During the past week I have been afflicted with quite a severe cold, taken during the prevalence of a rather cold north wind. For two days it was difficult for me to talk, but now my cold is broken and I am rapidly improving. Aside from this my health is perfect. The home side of my life is much more agreeable to me than formerly, owing to the fact of my maestro and his wife living at my house. His servants look after the providing and cooking of all the food, the cleanliness negrito woman who came to Alimodian to beg, a few coins for Carl and Homer, a "heart" made by my native teacher and worn by all native women and girls on their necks as a symbol of Mary or Christ, etc. One handkerchief is for you, father, and has your initials on it; one is for Carl and has his name on it; the other two are for mother and Ida; the basket is for Ida, as well as the heart. I have two more handkerchiefs, one for Elmer and one for Edith, which I will send soon; they are not very pretty, but they are pure silk and woven by hand machines. I hope this letter will find you all well, and must close now in order to have it catch the outgoing mail. Good-bye. WILFORD W. NICHOLS, ALIMODIAN, Panay, P.I., Nov. 23, '02. MUST BEWARE OF THE WHITE FLY Warning to Orange Growers Against Buying Citrus Trees in Florida The State Board of Horticulture has received reliable information from Florida to the effect that the dreaded white fly (Aleytrodes citri) of the orange and lemon, has now spread to every orange-growing section of that state, and the board wishes to caution nurserymen and intending planters against the danger of purchasing citrus trees from Florida. Until quite recently the nurseries in the northern part of Florida were free from the pest. The young, or larvae, form of white fly resembles somewhat a half-grown soft orange scale. It was formerly classed with scale insects, but in recent years they have been separated, as the females as well as the males are winged, while in the scale insects only the males have wings, and this is one of the reasons for their rapid spread. The decline in the quality of the Florida oranges is ascribed to the pernicious effects of this pest on the citrus trees. It produces more honey dew, In July last appointed a new committee in order that it might be found satall, that could command vote to carry it through. As held and a sub-committee to study the subject and future meeting. This committee yet made no report. Coming board enters upon improvements and develop-ments of raising money in economical manner must be done. I wish to commend the regular employees of the school money from the year, the total sum amount-89. The first apportionment amount has been made to districts of the county, as follows: $335 00 183 00 3800 00 746 00 786 00 719 00 719 00 392 00 319 00 382 00 108 00 349 00 651 00 656 00 1167 00 201 00 683 00 688 00 692 00 346 00 313 00 149 00 685 00 1671 00 3134 00 688 00 348 00 1044 00 322 00 472 00 8885 00 183 00 295 00 1630 00 779 00 751 00 If Unwell bottle of Herbine, noticeement speedily effected in late, energy, strength and touch how it brightens the freedom from indigestion.

Mory prebine, it cured me in two cannot recommend it too those who do come to school are doing nicely and I enjoy my work as much as ever and the days pass very quickly. During the past week I have been afflicted with quite a severe cold, taken durug the prevalence of a rather cold north wind. For two days it was difficult for me to talk, but now my cold is broken and I am rapidly improving. Aside from this my health is perfect. The home side of my life is much more agreeable to me than formerly, owing to the fact of my maestro and his wife living at my house. His servants look after the providing and cooking of all the food, the cleanliness of the house and procuring the water, which is carried from the river, and they also do my laundering, which is no small item here. All this relieves me of much care. As I told you before, for all these services, including house rent, I pay 46 pesos, or a little more than $18 in gold, per month. Mexican money is still depreciating in value. As you will remember, when I first came to the Philippines 210 Mexican dollars were worth $100 in United States money. Then it went to 227 to 100; then 235 to 100; then 246 to 100, and now it is 250 to 100. This last rating of silver is quite a little below the bullion value now in the United States, and it will be impossible for it to go much lower. If a few of the advocates of free silver in the United States could live about one month in the Philippines, and be paid one month's salary in Mexican silver, it certainly would be no fake "cure-all" for them. I have a money sack nine inches long by five wide, and it holds just about two-fifths of my month's salary, including night school, which is about 300 pesos, each peso being the size of a United States silzer dollar. The attendance at my night school is now cut down to about 20, owing to deaths and sickness, but it is progressing nicely. However, I will soon have to close it for a month, owing to the rice harvest. Ladrones (robbers) have been quite active lately in these valley towns. One week ago last night I was awakened by the reports of guns a short distance outside of town. The ladrones and police from a near-by town were fighting, as we learned later. The police were in charge of the senior constabulary inspector of this province, an American, but they had almost no ammunition and had to retreat, leaving one policeman dead and another badly wounded. The same night the ladrones stole a hundred caraboos from a little town through which I pass every time I go to Iloilo. Last Sunday night the constabulary of Alimodian killed a former chief of the ladrones about a mile from this place. Monday morning his body was brought here and buried. For several hours his body lay on the ground in front of the tribunal. He was being taken from this town to another, when he tried to escape and was shot. Last night the same thing occurred again in almost the same place. The ladrone killed this time was a very bad man. In 1900 he killed an American soldier here. For half the day his life until quite recently the nurseries in the northern part of Florida were free from the pest. The young, or larvae, form of white fly resembles somewhat a half-grown soft orange scale. It was formerly classed with scale insects, but in recent years they have been separated, as the females as well as the males are winged, while in the scale insects only the males have wings, and this is one of the reasons for their rapid spread. The decline in the quality of the Florida oranges is ascribed to the pernicious effects of this pest on the citrus trees. It produces more honey dew, and more black smut than the black scale, and is much more difficult to destroy by fumigation or spraying. The same pest is also destroying orange trees in Chile. Sparrows to Eat Moths The apple, orange, olive and lemon orchards of Nevada county have been threatened with extermination for the past few years because of the codlin moth. All kinds of experiments have proved useless. However, it is now thought that the trouble will soon be eradicated by Irish sparrows, a large shipment of which have recently been received at Nevada City from the government at Washington. The birds have been sent to North San Juan, where the pest is thickest, at which point they will be liberated.

Last night the same thing occurred again in almost the same place. The ladrone killed this time was a very bad man. In 1900 he killed an American soldier near here. For half the day his lifeless body was hanging from a bamboo pole in front of the tribunal. It seems now that the American authorities here and their Filipino policemen and constabulary are determined to crush the lawless element that has caused so much trouble of late to the farming class. While I of course look with pity upon these lifeless bodies, yet I realize, as do the authorities, that it is the only way to stamp out ladronism, for it is a common saying among both Americans and Filipinos that "A Filipino once a ladrone, is always a ladrone." It does not reform him to send him to prison for two or three years. Many constabulary, led by Americans, are now in the mountains about fifteen miles back of Alimodian, burning the houses and laying waste the little property owned by these marauders and capturing or killing as many of them as possible. Alimodian village lies on the direct road from Iloilo to the mountains, and all the constabulary pass through here and we get to see and know much of their movements. All of this I am glad of, for it helps to break the menotony of life, and there is of course now no danger to me or to the people here. It is at night that the ladrones do their work. I never leave the center of town after dark, partly because I never have occasion to, and partly because it would not be safe for me to do so.
