"People often ask me the meaning of the apparently crazy hieroglyphs and figures that are stamped on the inner side of the uppers of ready made shoes nowadays," said an F street shoe dealer. "As every shoe manufactory has a secret stamp code of its own and there is, therefore, no possibility of the general public learning more than that such codes exist. I may as well tell you that the vanity of modern mortals, and especially women, is at the bottom of these peculiar stamped characters and figures. You'd be surprised to know, for instance, how many women there are who imagine that they wear a No. 3 shoe when in reality their size is a couple of figures larger. A shoe sales man who understands his business can tell precisely the number of the shoe a woman customer wears at a glance. But as often as not a woman whose foot is a No. 5 calls for a shoe a couple of sizes smaller, and the mysterious stamped bierglyph scheme was devised for the purpose of encouraging her in the belief that her foot is a couple of sizes smaller than it really measures in shoe leather. "When a woman calls for a No. 5 to fit a No. 5 foot, no shoe salesman of this era who cares anything for his job is going to say,'Madam, your foot requires a No. 5.' He simply breaks out a shoe of the style she requests that he feels confident will fit her comfortably and lets it go at that." What She Wanted. "Papa," said the millionaire's beautiful daughter, as she put her arms around him affectionately. "Papa, won't you buy me—won't you buy me?" She hesitated, and he hastily interrupted: "Oh, you've got all the bowwows you need. This dog show is driving every one array." "But I don't want a bewow," she said petulantly. "You've always been so good to me, you know. You bought me a pony cart, and a lot of Paris dresses, and a summer cottage and a sailboat, and a footman, and a coachman and an opera box for the season—and—Oh, I know" The Weekly Gazette.

"A sealskin sock then." "No." "A steam yacht and another trip abroad." "No." He saw that his beautiful daughter was determined, and he sighed. "Well," he said at last.

Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1903 Editorial Note and Comment It sometimes pays to get killed in a railroad accident. One woman has secured a verdict for $100,000 against the New York Central for the death of her husband in the Park Avenue tunnel disaster of last year. If the late lamented is so placed as to be informed of, and take an interest in, the affairs of this mundane sphere, he probably derives considerable compensation from the thought that he did not live in vain. One hundred and fifteen out of 167 votes cast at one precinct in Butte county were cast out upon a recount in a contested election case. There is something the matter with the election law, the Supreme Court's construction of it, or with the voters. Probably all three causes combine to create the awful muddle which the last election left us in. If the present Legislature succeeds in straightening out the tangle, it will by that act alone cast a mantle over the multitude of sins it will probably commit. One of the most gratifying evidences of the increase of real estate values in Orange county is found in the case of the Tuffree tract in Placentia. We doubt whether in the history of California, or elsewhere, there can be found another such record. Less than a year ago, a number of choice parcels, the cream locating and constructing reservoirs and other irrigation works will be done by the Geological survey. In order to obtain a better understanding of the present extent of irrigation, the location of the areas irrigated, and to gain other information useful in this work, the Fifty-seventh Congress authorized the Director of the Census to bring down to date the irrigation statistics obtained in 1904 by that office. Letters of inquiry and schedules are now being sent out to secure the necessary information. All interested in irrigation should answer as fully and is promptly as possible any inquiries they may receive so that the merits of the various sections of the country may become known. Irigators who do not receive blanks within a reasonable time should notify the Census office at Washington and they will be supplied. It is interesting to note in this connection how much it will mean to the country at large to have the arid lands of the west reclaimed. According to the census of 1900 the total improved farm area of the United States was 414,800,000 acres. It is conservatively estimated that the reclaimable area is not less than 50,000,000 acres. Its reclamation, therefore, will add nearly one-eighth to the actual crop producing area of the country and will exceed by a liberal margin the tillable land of all the states, except New York, on the Atlantic Coast from Maine to Florida. Allowing 40 acres, the average size of irrigated farms, this area will make 1,250,000 farms, or a little less than one-fourth the number in the PUBLIC LAND ABSORPTION MENACES IRRIGATION ACT Land Tributary to Irrigation Projects Being Filed Upon—Leasing of Cattle and Timber Land—Hawaii Irrigation and Land Question The government engineers who have in charge the execution of the National Irrigation Law are not a little perturbed over the discovery that the land tributary to the various irrigation projects which they have been surveying since the passage of the act has been largely filed upon by private parties in anticipation of government construction. Not only this, but the absorption of these best lands is constantly going on by speculators and land stealers. If the lands were being entered by bona fide settlers and prospective no-seekers who simply wanted to be on the land when the irrigation works are constructed, there would be no harm, as actual settlement is what is desired; but most of these entries are known to be fraudulent, made by "dummies" who immediately transfer title to big speculative and stock interests. This is shown by the fact that in many sections where large areas have been entered, there is absolutely no increase in the population. There is a growing sentiment in favor of the repeal of land laws under which such abuses are possible, and if the people of the country thoroughly understood what perjury, fraud, and stealing is being enacted, Congress would suddenly find the repeal of these laws the burning question of the hour. This is not in any sense the cry of alarmists; it is facts, shown by the records of the government and by the personal official investigations of the irrigation engineers. A TREACHEROUS PLEA IN FAVOR OF One of the most ratifying evidences of the increase of real estate values in Orange county is found in the case of the Tuffree tract in Placentia. We doubt whether in the history of California, or elsewhere, there can be found another such record. Less than a year ago, a number of choice parcels, the cream of the tract, were sold for $200 an acre, which at that time was considered a fair and reasonable price. But in the short space of twelve months the price of land in that tract has jumped to $3400 an acre as we learn from an inspection of the sworn answer filed by the defendants in the suit brought by the Anaheim Union Water company to condemn lands for a reservoir and rights of way for ditches. The reservoir site contains 9.80 acres, and the owners say it is worth $50,000. The area occupied by the distributing ditches comprises 7.86 acres, and its value is placed at $10,000. We congratulate those purchasers who got in on the ground floor before this phenomenal rise in value. Senator Perkins is in favor of the Cuban reciprocity treaty and Senator Bard is opposed to it; but Perkins, in explaining his position, writes that if the Legislature of California passes a resolution requesting him to vote against the treaty, he will do so. He is like the schoolmaster who, on applying for a job, was questioned by the trustees of the school "deestrict" as to whether the earth was round or flat. "Some says its round" he replied, "and some says it is flat, I'll teach it any way youse fellers want." The accommodating Senator, explaining his reasons for supporting the proposed treaty, says: "It is estimated that in consideration of our country making a rebate off our tariff to Cuba of say six millions of dollars per annum, she, in return, gives us eleven millions of dollars per annum off of her tariff, for merchandise imported into that country from the United States. It opens a market for the products of our soil, our manufactures, our meats, canned fruits, preserves, wines and liquors, that are now purchased in Europe. It does not injure any industry of this country, and it morally binds our government to make no further reduction in our tariff on sugar to any foreign country for the period of five years." "The beet-sugar growers from the United States was 414,800,000 acres. It is conservatively estimated that the reclaimable area is not less than 50,000,000 acres. Its reclamation, therefore, will add nearly one-eighth to the actual crop producing area of the country and will exceed by a liberal margin the tillable land of all the states, except New York, on the Atlantic Coast from Maine to Florida. Allowing 40 acres, the average size of irrigated farms, this area will make 1,250,000 farms, or a little less than one-fourth the number in the United States in 1900. The occupants of these farms will add directly to the population 6,250,000 and indirectly, in the accompanying mercantile, professional, manufacturing and industrial classes at least 3,125,000 more, a total increase in the population of the United States of 9,375,000 more, or nearly twelve and one-half per cent. The total value of all the farms in 1900, including all improvements except buildings, was $13,115,000,000. At $42.50 per acre, the average value of irrigated land, the 50,000,000 acres to be reclaimed will add to the value of farm land $1,250,000,000. If buildings are included, the value will be increased $785,000,000 while the augmented wealth through railroads, cities, mills and factories is beyond estimation. The annual value of all farm products in 1900 was $4,379,000,000. The average value per acre of products of irrigated lands was $14.81. At this rate the area to be reclaimed will add products worth $740,000,000 an addition of nearly one-sixth of the life sustaining powers of the country. The number of irrigating canals and ditches in operation in the United States exceeds 20,000 and their combined length is not less than 59,000 miles. It joined end to end they would reach twice around the world. Formed into one they would constitute a navigable canal such as the Erie, thirty feet wide and five feet deep, extending from San Francisco to New York, a distance of over 3900 miles. The figures of the last census show that the works required to irrigate 7,263,273 acres cost $64289,601 an average of $8.85 per acre. At this rate the expenditure required to reclaim the area proposed would be at least $450,000-100. After the government has performed its part there will be no delay by the farmers in carrying on the work. While the initial expense is enormous, it is not comparable with the value of the crops which will be grown on the lands reclaimed. The total cost of all the irrigation works in use in this country is only three-fourths the value of the crops produced. There is a growing sentiment in favor of the repeal of land laws under which such abuses are possible, and if the people of the country thoroughly understood what perjury, fraud, and stealing is being enacted, Congress would suddenly find the repeal of these laws the burning question of the hour. This is not in any sense the cry of alarmists; it is facts shown by the records of the government and by the personal official investigations of the irrigation engineers. A TREACHEROUS PLEA IN FAVOR OF Irrigation. It is a preposterous argument to say that the land-stealing and questionable entries should be winked at because they are bringing large amounts of money into the irrigation reclamation fund. What is the use of a large fund for irrigation construction if the lands which the government hoped to irrigate are all to be absorbed into great estates, by which the home-seeker and the settler have been left out of consideration? Twenty million acres of the best remaining arable government lands passed into private ownership last year; it is conservatively predicted that at the present rate of entry, 30,000,000 acres will be absorbed during this present year. If the desert land law, and the commutation clause of the homestead law, should be repealed today, the filings already made would result in an actual fund of $20,000,000. “Twenty million dollars,” said a prominent irrigation official of the Geological Survey，“is enough money for this reclamation fund for the next ten years. It is ample. Moreover the repeal of these miserable laws would by no means cut off receipts from land sales. This would still amount to over $1,ooo，ooo a year. But it would be better that the revenue from land sales should entirely cease at once than that the land should be grabbed before the government can take any action in the matter.” The American people, under these laws, are selling their birthright for a mess of pottage. That the remaining public lands of the west should be held in trust by the government for the use of future settlers and men and women who want homes, has been the demand of the great majority of the people of the country for a decade. Every attempt to secure the cession of this land to the states has been overwhelmingly rejected, and yet the apology of this inheritance is going on now,surely and swiftly with almost no realization by the country of what is being done They are slipping from the nation’s grasp and the people will suddenly wake up to the fact that they have been squandered. LEASING OF GRAZING LAND. Senator Dietrich’s bill providing for leasing of the public lands of No braska to cattle interests for a long period of years has raised such a flame of opposition not only from the country at large,b but from people of No braska themselves,a as to make it The beet-sugar growers from the different States, in convention assembled in this city, favored the ratification of the treaty as amended by the Senate committee. The Platt amendment, socalled, gives the United States important control over the affairs of Cuba. The administration therefore believes we are under moral if not legal, obligations to establish friendly commercial, as well as political relations with Cuba. It is, therefore, a question of our national honor, as well as one of policy and expediency. I am very desirous of carrying out the wishes of the good people of California in this, as well as upon all other questions affecting the welfare of the people of our State and country." The acceptance by Congress of the principle of federal aid in the construction of irrigation works in western states has given a great impetus to every industry in that section of the country. The people of the eastern states are just beginning to realize the opportunities offered in the territory to be opened up. As the proposition develops, a tide of immigration will inevitably set in and this region will become one of the most populous and prosperous in the country. With large areas of reclaimable land California especially will be benefited by the measure.

Not content with attempting to secure the control of land, water and forests in the United States, some of our legislators seem bent upon carrying their operations into our outlying territories. Although every one must admit that our present land laws are not what they should be, the Senate subcommittee, composed of Senators Mitchell, Foster and Burton, which officially visited Hawaii last summer, has made a report recommending the extenuion of our land laws to the islands. This would do Hawaii a tremendous injustice, since her present land laws, which were the laws of the Republic before she applied for annexation, are administered with considerable rigidity and are sufficiently safeguarded to protect the real interests of the territory. Arable land and water for irrigation are of immense value in the islands. In addition to this the committee recommends, among other things, the passage of a bill by the Senate granting a valuable franchise to a private ditch company without restrictions. According to the laws of the territory such franchises are sold at public auctions, under such restrictions as the territorial officials see fit to impose. The committee recommends that Congress hand this franchise over to the Hawaii Ditch company, gratis, without restrictions. The committee's action has resulted in a personal cablegram from Governor Dole to President Roosevelt vigorously protesting, and the dispatching of a special representative of the territory to Washington to fight the measure. This irrigation bill was in some way slipped through the House last session, and now determined efforts this session have been made to quietly pass it in RECORD PRICES FOR WALNUTS The Deciduous Fruit Association of Anaheim Secure Record Prices—Figures Prove the Assertion The report of the Deciduous Fruit Association of Anaheim, which appears below, makes decidedly the best showing yet reported by any walnut association, and shows what may be done by marketing on the exchange plan. The walnuts were all sold by agents of the Southern California Fruit Exchange at prices ranging from 10 cents to 12 cents f.o.b. California, for No. 1 softshells, and, as appears from the report, the growers received the benefit in prices which have never been paid to growers before by any association. The Anaheim Association takes the walnuts from the growers as they come from the orchard and does the bleaching, grading, etc., at a cost of 18 cents per 100 pounds, which is rather more than the cost to some associations having larger crops to handle, and which cuts down the net price by the amount of their expenses above that of other more favorably situated associations, and makes a very noticeable difference where the growers grade and bleach for themselves. If the Anaheim growers had done their own bleaching and grading, they would have received $10.03 per 100 pounds for No. 1 softshells, and if the reserve had been paid, a total of $10.03 per 100 pounds would have been paid them; but this grading and bleaching is done cheaper and more uniform by the association than can be done by indi viduals. The Anaheim Association has shipped for the past five years through the California Fruit and Produce Exchange, which has control of the marketing, and the walnuts have been sold by the agents of the Southern Californi- Growing sentiment in repeal of land laws under houses are possible, and if the country thoroughly that perjury, fraud, and being enacted, Congress may find the repeal of these question of the hour.

Mr Dietrich's bill providing for the sale of the public lands of Nebraska cattle interests for a long period has raised such a flame not only from the countryside but from the people of Nebraska themselves, as to make its sale of enactment into a law very recent. The expressed idea was to "try to graze states. Any leasing which ever gets through Congress must be drawn on different lines in Nebraska bill, and will have only protect both large and small areas, but provide, if that is possible opportunity for every settler to come into the State and a homestead, or for every irrenterprise, to proceed unreliable and unhampered. Forest reserves were created purpose of protecting the source of all water supply, and to prevent the destruction of No Congress passes that effective made to control of these areas regardless of the intent preserving acts. Representative has introduced a bill, H. R. which provides for the leasing forest reserves for grazing purposes. No plan could be imagined would do more harm to the forestry policy of the government than to give leases of the reserves grazing purposes. Permits or license now given by the Interior department for grazing on these relics. The merit of the present system the government is that it is flexible temporary and leaves the government in absolute control to immediately correct any abuse of the privilege. Did not matter what the terms of proposed lease might be, if once the grazer would have a foothold which it would be almost impossible to dislodge him, no matter how the terms of the lease might be The following formula is for winter use upon deciduous fruit trees for pernicious scale, curl leaf, peach moth, etc., and if properly carried out will produce effective results, so says the Pacific Rural Press: Unslacked lime, 40 pounds. Sulphur, 20 pounds. Stock salt, 15 pounds. Water to make 60 gallons. Directions: Place 10 pounds of lime and 20 pounds of sulphur in a boiler with 20 gallons of water and boil over a brisk fire not less than one hour and a half, or until the sulphur is thoroughly dissolved; when this takes place the mixture will be of an amber color. Next place in a cask 30 pounds of unslacked lime, pouring over it enough hot water to thoroughly slack it, and while it is boiling add the 15 pounds of salt. When this is dissolved add it to the lime and sulphur in the boiler and cook for half an hour longer, when the necessary hot water should be added to make the 60 gallons. Follow the above directions carefully, particularly the boiling. Use this remedy as late in the season as possible. The best results will be obtained by spraying just before the peach trees burst into bloom. On cloudy, moist days the blossoms will not be injured by this wash, but in dry weather with a north wind the bloom will be damaged if full strength is used. Cancer Cured Mr. W. W. Prickett, Smithfield, Ill., writes, Sept. 10, 1901: "I had been suffering several years with a cancer on my face, which gave me great annoyance and unbearable itching. I was using Ballard's Snow Liniment for a sore leg, and through an accident I rubbed some of the liniment on the cancer and it gave me almost instant relief. I decided to continue to use the liniment on the cancer. In a short time the cancer came out, my face healed up and there is not the slightest scar left. I have implicit faith in the merits of this preparation, and it cannot be too highly recommended." 25 cents, 50 cents and $1 at Hatzfeld's. WOULD YOU? Mrs — It isn't necessary to raise your hat to the housemaid. Mr. — Well, I can wink at her, if you prefer. Feed pale girls on Scott's Emulsion. We do not need to give all the reasons why Scott's Emulsion restores the strength and flesh and color of good health to those who suffer from sick blood. The fact that it is the best preparation of Cod Liver Oil, rich in nutrition, full of healthy stimulation is a suggestion as to why it does what it does. Scott's Emulsion presents Cod Liver Oil at its best, fullest in strength, least in taste. Young women in their "teens" are permanently cured of the peculiar disease of the blood which shows itself in paleness, weakness and nervousness, by regular treatment with Scott's Emulsion. It is a true blood food and is naturally adapted to the cure of the blood sickness from which so many young women suffer. We will be glad to send a sample to any sufferer. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., New York.
