Half a Billion Dollars' Worth Owned Here—Amount Rapidly Increasing. In no country are there more diamonds to be found than in the United States, according to the population. It is estimated by a leading Maiden lane (New York) diamond dealer that there are upward of $500,000,000 worth of diamonds in this country. Moreover, this vast amount is increasing year by year. Until quite recently diamonds were rarely cut in this country, but American inventors have developed a process for diamond cutting which is vastly superior to that done abroad. The loss in weight through cutting is sometimes fully one-half, but the value is increased probably more than two-fold. The Dutch city of Amsterdam has been the great diamond cutting center of the world from time immemorial and up to a few years ago over 12,000 people in that place were directly or indirectly dependent upon this trade. But it was not reasonable to suppose that Amsterdam should continue to hold a monopoly of diamond cutting. As one of the greatest importing cities of the world, New York gradually offered inducements to diamond cutters, and an industry has been gradually built up here that is now very flourishing and profitable. In 1858 Henry D. Morse of Boston invented a machine for cutting and polishing diamonds, and since then improvements have been made upon it that are very important. The foreigners continue to polish their stones by hand, but in this country machinery is largely used. A famous gem expert places the total value of all the diamonds in the world at over $1,000,000,000, of which $850,000,000 worth are in the hands of dealers, carried as stock. All of the other diamonds are in the hands of private individuals, and the question naturally arises, who owns them? This is not so easily answered, except in the case of large and world famous gems—Godey's Magazine. A "Queer" Preacher. Rev.

Mr. Hagamore, to whose memory is a slab in the church at Catshoge, Leicestershire, England, was "a little queer." It seems that the reverend gentleman died in January, 1886, leaving all of his property, valued at $3,500, to a railroad porter. This queer old preacher kept one servant of each sex, whom he locked up every night. His last employment of an evening was to go the rounds of his premises, let loose the dogs and fire off his gun. He lost his life in a curious manner. Starting out to let out his servants, the dogs fawned upon him and threw him into a pond of water. The servants heard his cries, but being locked up could not render assistance, so the old man was drowner. When the inventory of his property was taken, he was found to be the owner of 80 gowns, 100 pairs of trousers, 100 pairs of boots, 400 pairs of shoes, 80 wigs (although he had plenty of natural hair), 50 dogs, 96 wagons and carts, 30 wheelbarrows, 249 razors, 80 plows, 50 saddles and 222 pickaxes and shovels. He surely was "a little queer." LIABILITY OF POSTMASTERS Judge Walter Evans, in the United States court here, has ruled that men in charge of postoffices must pay to the government any amount or amounts burglaries may steal from the offices. The decision is considered important as establishing the liability of postmasters for funds and supplies which are lost by reason of burglary or other causes. For Sale.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1903. BANK OF ANAHEIM Editorial Note and Comment The two commissioners, J. A. Filcher and Frank Wiggins, recently appointed by Governor Pardee to look after California's interests at the great Louisiana Purchase Exposition, which is to open on the 31st of April, next year, have lost no time in getting down to active work. They are both experienced men in exposition matters and they realize very keenly that they have a stupendous task in front of them and no more time than is necessary for successful accomplishment. They have opened offices at the state board of trade rooms in San Francisco and in the Los Angeles chamber of commerce in Los Angeles. E. B. Willis, for fifteen years managing editor of the Sacramento Record-Union, has been installed as secretary and already the state is receiving their circulars and letters urging the different counties and communities to earnest action in the matter of collecting exhibits for California's display. The harvest is upon us, and the commissioners realize that products now in season which are not collected now, cannot be secured at all, as when the same products come in next year it will be too late. The commissioners are asking supervisors to appoint county World's Fair committees and they are asking boards of trade and chambers of commerce and other representative bodies to begin at once to collect to Europe from 15 to 20 cents. Suppose we could trade with the Asiatics to the extent of 1 cent per capita per day, it would amount to $4,000,000 a day in China alone, or $1,500,000,000 a year. The development of carrying lines on the Pacific is the key to the situation. To bring us this trade, the government should begin as systematic a campaign as that of our commercial interests, resulting today in the proud position of our iron and steel trade." Since the beginning of 1903, the Harriman interest has sold outright 540 miles of Oregon Short Line, and a half interest in the Houston and Texas Central, 692 miles; Texas and New Orleans, 304 miles; and Houston, East and West Texas, 231 miles. In addition, the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass road, 687 miles will be sold within a few weeks. The grand total of the mileage upon which a hold has been relinquished is therefore 2,654 miles. This delopment is the most complete surprise that has occurred in the railroad year of 1903. Hitherto it has been an axiom that the Southern Pacific must hold the Gulf safe, and that therefore the Harriman lines were not for sale. Yet within three months Harriman has sold mileage enough to make a small system. The reasons are about as follows: First—To avoid the construction of parallel lines so powerful as to insure the ruin of the Harriman road. Second—For the concentration of effort on east and west traffic for the Southern Pacific, practically under a guarantee that the Rock Island will can be found anywhere certainly great bargains be the value of this offer not to rip, and if they ing department in store M GAZETTE COUNTY end For Sample Copv Weekly Gazette. lished 1870.

The harvest is upon us, and the commissioners realize that products now in season which are not collected now, cannot be secured at all, as when the same products come in next year it will be too late. The commissioners are asking supervisors to appoint county World's Fair committees and they are asking boards of trade and chambers of commerce and other representative bodies to begin at once to collect seasonable vegetables, seasonable fruits, grasses and forage plants, grains in straw, and other things which must be had now or not at all. The St. Louis show is going to be the biggest ever held in the world, and yet the commissioners have at their disposal only $130,000 of state money as against $350,000 appropriated by the state for the Chicago World's Fair. At the latter fair the counties helped very materially, contributing in the aggregate $203,000, and it remains to be seen what the counties will do in this instance. They ought to get right in behind this work. California cannot afford to default in any particular that would impair its reputation for doing something grand and attractive. Commissioners Filcher and Wiggins will get as much out of a dollar as anybody who could have been appointed, but whether they can make a bigger show with $130,000 than was made at Chicago with $350,000 is doubtful, and yet from the tone of their circulars we are given to understand that if the counties support them liberally and effectively, each according to its means and facilities, they will make a showing at St. Louis that will be creditable and satisfactory to our big and powerful state. This paper believes in keeping to the front, and we assure the commissioners that whatever we can do to promote their great undertaking in urging the co-operation of their citizens, will be done cheerfully. Every active citizen interested in the welfare of the state ought to enlist in this great undertaking, and with the backing and direction of our commissioners, and the money at their disposal there is no doubt but the efforts of the state will be crowned with a triumph that will result in lasting benefit and add luster to California's fame. The United States should bend its utmost efforts to the development of foreign markets for her agricultural products, says J. J. Hill, presided over by the western roads form the subject of the coming inquiry, the investigation is really an outcome of the fight of the government against the beef trust, and in a way is closely connected with the effort of the commission to break up secret rebates, cuts and other unfair advantages that the roads were formerly in the habit of Pacific must hold the Gulf safe, and that therefore the Harrimau lines were not for sale. Yet within three months Harriman has sold mileage enough to make a small system. The reasons are about as follows: First—To avoid the construction of parallel lines so powerful as to insure the ruin of the Harriman road. Second—For the concentration of effort on east and west traffic for the Southern Pacific, practically under a guaranty that the Rock Island will not attempt to interfere with this, but will confine itself to north and south trunk-line traffic. Third — The interference of the Texas legislature with the economical operation of all Texas railroads, and especially the Harriman lines. Possibly the shifting of the headquarters of trans-Pacific trade from San Francisco to Puget Sound ports, necessitating the direction of Harriman's efforts in this direction, unless the Union Pacific is to go backward. The United States Interstate Commerce Commission has decided to continue its fight against the increased freights rates recently imposed by the railroads of the country. Eastern roads were called to account a few months ago, and now the commission has ordered the principal roads west of the Mississippi to give reasons why they should not cut down their rates on grain and beef products. The roads that have been called upon to prove to the commission they are not imposing unreasonable rates are the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, Chicago and Northwestern, Chicago and Great Western, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Illinois Central, Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, Wabash, Chicago and Alton, M. K. & T., St. Louis Southwestern, St. Louis and San Francisco and Missouri Pacific. Each of these roads is to send delegates to meet the interstate commission at Chicago on June 17th to answer the charge that their present rates on grain and grain products are unreasonably high, and in violation of sections 1, 2 and 3 of the interstate commerce act.

J. Hill, president of the Northern Securities company. He says: "The United States should take steps to strengthen the pockets of the farming class. Dollar wheat is a good cry, but the way to get dollar wheat is to make wheat scarce by opening foreign markets to absorb our crop. The timeliness of the effort in the orient is apparent. Unless we act at once, we are going to get left. "The question of the market is as important as to raise the commodities. If we try to sell our wheat in Europe, we are met by hostile legislation. To sell in Russia would be carrying coals to Newcastle. We must find our future market with the people who are not consumers of wheat. One-third of the population of the earth are rice eaters. These people will eat the products of our flour if we give them the flour. "The question arises, and I have been asked how the people who work for 15 cents a day can afford wheat from the United States. If they can't afford it all the time, they will take it when they can. One bushel per capita sold in China and Japan means the consumption in a year of 450,000,000 bushels. "If we can increase our exports of wheat to the orient by 50,000,000 bushels, I predict that it would advance the price of the wheat we send to answer the charge that their present rates on grain and grain products are unreasonably high, and in violation of sections 1, 2 and 3 of the interstate commerce act. While the grain rates imposed by the western roads form the subject of the coming inquiry, the investigation is really an outcome of the fight of the government against the beef trust, and in a way is closely connected with the effort of the commission to break up secret rebates, cuts and other unfair advantages that the roads were formerly in the habit of giving to members of this trust. This inquiry is not occasioned by complaints lodged with the commission, but is the voluntary act of the commission itself." The special election in Stockton on the 18th of May on the proposition to issue $160,000 for a municipal electric lighting plant, resulted in favor of the bond issue. The vote was for the bonds, 1837; against the bonds, 662. It required a two-thirds vote to carry the proposition. It was a hot contest with the business men generally divided and the labor forces generally favoring the bond issue. The total vote cast at the city election a week ago was 31.11, and Thursday the vote was 2499. The California Fresh Fruit Exchange, headed by A. R. Sprague, and the California Fruit Distributors, headed by Alden Anderson, were merged at Sacramento Thursday. They will together handle 96 per cent of the fresh deciduous fruit shipped out of California. The fierce competition hitherto existing between these organizations will cease, and they declare the result will be beneficial to the fruit-growers of the northern part of the state, as there will be no glutting of the eastern market, as hitherto, by shipments of fruit. For four long years the conflict raged, during which time battles were fought such as were never before fought, and which have no parallel for bravery and deeds of heroism. Here were engaged the very pride of our citizenship, contending against the very best of the youth and pride of the South, both alike thoroughly lauded with the righteousness and justness of their cause. They were not waging war for place or power, nor for conquest, but for principle honesty entertained. But the end came at Appomattox with the surrender of the brave and brilliant Lee, to that old patriot and commander U. S. Grant. Then people of the North and South and the East and West, the mothers and fathers of the boys who wore the blues as well as those who wore the grape soldiers and sailors and officers who were sick, wounded and dying, as they who were yet in arms, heard to glad tiqings so long hoped and prayed for, peace, peace, peace. How like music of a heavenly choir, borne to waiting, expectant, sad-hearted people, on the wings of that spring-time morning sun. Don't you remember you fathers and mothers of '61, as you caught the joyful news as it flash through forests young with April be o'er meadows green and plain carpet with myriads of wild flowers? Do you remember how your heart throbbed with emotion, and the teeth fell thick and fast when you heard a message, the war was ended? Of course you do, because such wars burned into your memory by excess joy. You father, mourned the loss a son, but grief was tempered by knowledge that the Union was saved. You mother, lost a husband, but your sadness was lessened by the fact that liberty yet lived. You father a mother, lost all the boys you loved tenderly, and were left childless; you rejoiced that the old flag was there brighter and far more beautiful than ever because baptized in blood of your own household, and Gazette. 003. NUMBER 32 WORD'S MASTERFUL ELOQUENCE A Day Address to a Large Concern of People at the Cemetery. President, ladies of the Relief Veterans of the Grand Army, new citizens: A mighty surging, all but its ocean of thought leaps into and with the incoming of this co-mengling of joy and its sunshine and shadow, its smiles. Stably we retrace our footsteps and a nation for forty years. In 1860 found the people of this present smiling and happy, possessing the elements of material that peace within our own bordon terms of friendship with all of the earth. A national existence of nearly two hundred years, we had come to be a people, and to be recognized governments of the world, that is the grandest, most enlightened and most enduring government in all the world. The land of the home of the brave,ulum for the appressed of sons. Where no unnecessary was placed upon the shoulder citizen, and honest endeavor in life remained unhampered by legal enactment. Much conditions, real and ideal. Men's anthem, "Peace on Earth Will to All Men," was heard and sea. The sailor sang it as and the anchor of ship freighted merchandise for those of other the manufacturer sang as the product came forth from the hills; the lumberman as he plied and saw in the great forests; or as he picked and blasted the precious metal hidden away in caves and canyons; the farmer reaped, reaped and garnered the results of his labor, all these the nation's emblem and symbol of liberty. And the people of the nation heard and sang: "Hall, Stars and Stripes, red, white and blue, We stand enraptured at thy view. Lo, proud on high thy blue does stream. Thy starry wreaths on waters gleam. Foreer to thye we will be true. Pure as the snow on mountain white, Thy white, truth's symbol, sheds its light. Thy laws knew master not, nor slave. And human rights thy emblem gave To all thy children--not the few, Flame out thy red over land and sea. That beacon light of liberty. And must it be, our heart's blood red For thee and glory we will shed Out of the love that is thy due. Hurrah! hurrah! red, white and blue; Hurrah! red, white and blue." There may be some who believe and publicly announce that the constitution of the United States is "a covenant with hell and a league with death," and "not five cent. of the people of the South were glad of the success of the Union Army and the preservation of this Union," but you and I do not, will not, believe such to be a fact. Oh, no! Let us rather believe and cherish the thought that the people of this great nation, regardless of geographical position, are glad and joyful that on the threshold of this eventful century we are each and all under one government, one constitution and one flag; that this, our beloved country, sits proudly at the head of the avenue of all nations on earth, grand in its conception, grand in its fulfillment and immeasurably grand in its future; that when the people of the North let their eyes sweep over the immensity of this republic the first in vision are the great states of the sunny South, with fields of cotton, cane, waving corn and grain, its mountains of iron and coal, palatial homes with their wealth of flowers and suggestions of hospitality and ease, its hundreds of places made historical by the matchless heroism of a matchless people, and as the eye rests on this picture, we say in honesty, with pride NARROWLY ESCAPES RATTLERS' BITE John Johnson Has a Call From a Varmint at His Mining Camp at Dale. John Johnson returned some days ago from Dale and reports more than usual activity in that mining district. A sale of a number of claims to a Chicago syndicate for $50.000 is one of the transactions of note. Mr. Johnson has a number of valuable gold and copper claims, and while he has been asked to set a price upon some of them announces that he is not yet ready to sell. He is one of the pioneers of the Dale district and prophesies a town in the camp the coming winter. He says the Gould road from El Paso to the Pacific will pass within a short distance of their camp, and this, he says, will make it one of the biggest mining camps in the West. Mr. Johnson says the heat on the desert for May broke the record. The thermometer rose as high as 110. Not half an inch of rain fell during the winter and the summer promises to be warm. However rain may fall during the rainy season in Arizona, which may moderate the temperature. Rattlesnakes are more numerous than ever. On going into his tent one day Johnson narrowly escaped being bitten by a huge rattler which had climbed up into a wall of loose rock which had been erected as a protection to a forge in a corner of the tent. Johnson was about to start up the forge and put his hand in a small barrel to procure some coal. His hand was within a few inches of the rattler, which was up in the rocks two feet from the ground. A sharp rattle, a hand jerked rapidly out of harm's way, and the head of the serpent rose in the air in its deadly strike.

Oh, let us rather cultivate and foster the belief that all the people of our glorious country, from Alaska's snow and ice-bound coast to this, our own, incomparable California,, sitting with her head crowned with the everlasting green of the north, her lap filled to overflowing with the fruit, cereal and vintage of the valleys of the Sacramento and San Jose, with her feet nestled amidst the orange and lemon groves, the dalsies and poppies of this Sunny Southland, from lakes to gulf, and between the limits of the great oceans on the east and west, are glad that the Union was preserved, the Republic lives, and over all floats Old Glory, brighter and more resplendent than ever, because in its defense an army of brave officers and heroic soldiers shed their life's blood. If there were this day presented to you two pictures, illustrative in/ all respects of the condition of the North and the South through the effect of a permanent separation from the Union, one painted from a pronounced optimistic standpoint, bright, radiant and attractive; the other drawn by the trembling, suspicious, nervous, fretful hand of a pessimist, dark, dismal, repellant, no sunshine, all shadow,and were asked which were the truer. In your judgment, you would answer me: I do not know. I do not now care but this I do know, for my eyes behold its truth—this is the greatest grandiose in a corner of the tent. Johnson was about to start up the forge and put his hand in a small barrel to procure some coal. His hand was within a few inches of the rattler, which was up in the rocks two feet from the ground. A sharp rattle,a hand jerked rapidly out of harm's way,and the head of the serpent rose in the air in its deadly strike. "It was the nearest I've come to being snake-bitten in my life," said Johnson as he told the story. "The next evening I killed another near my camp. That made three that I got within a week. One man told me he killed three big rattlers with one swipe of a stick. They had their heads up together in a bunch. A vigorous swipe sent the trio on their way rejoicing." Mr. Johnson says that after his experience with the varmint in his tent and hearing this story he thought he was about due near the coast where the thermometer does not get up quite as high as on the desert. Positions in Philippines This war department is giving serious consideration to a proposition that has come through Colonel Edwards chief of the bureau of insular affairs from General Henry Allen chief of the Philippine constabulary looking to the improvement of that service. General Allen believes there is a fine career as officers in the constabulary for graduates of the American military schools who have afly special aptitude for military work. He believes that fifteen or twenty such young men annually could be placed in the constabulary as officers to the advantage of the service of those selected. While at first the men appointed would not be as valuable as the highest grade of non-commissioned officers. General Allen feels that in long run they would be superior to the class of men who are now entering the service. The pay and emoluments are to be increased. At present the pay runs from $800 to $900 for a third lieutenant to $1200 to $1500 for a captain,besides which the allowance is ample for house rentand there are no hospital expenses. Owing to the number of stations,the percentage of officers in the constabulary is large. Their duties are much more responsible and varied than those of corresponding grades in the regular service.Heretoforethe department has pursuedthe plan allowingthe Philippine government to select all its constabulary officers.preference being given to discharged soldiers who have picked up a knobwedge of Spanish and Tagalog and have become acquainted withthe country through their-military service. It is not intended to depart from this policy to any considerable degree,但it is probable that General Allen's suggestions will be accepted as a meansof elevatingthe personneloftheconstabulary.

Mothers and sailors and officers who kick, wounded and dying, and were yet in arms, heard the ings so long hoped and prayed peace, peace.

Don't you remember, mothers and mothers of '61, as you the joyful news as it flashed in forests young with April bud, shadows green and plain carpeted by bridges of wild flowers?

I do not now care, but this I do know, for my eyes behold its truth—this is the greatest, grandest, best government and people on God's green earth, rich in its was, splendid in its now and glorious in its will be. And then with the scream of tens of thousands of steam whistles, choir of bell, and brass, and pipe, from Maine to Oregon, from Texas to Florida, aye, from Porto Rico to Manila, seventy-five million people will sing: "Our father's God to thee. Author of liberty. To thee we sing: Long may our land be bright. With freedom's holy light. Great God our king." Mr. President, I do not speak of the period in our history and its happenings to which I have just referred, for the purpose of discussion. There are pages in the recorded history of nations, like that of individuals, that were better had never been written. But in the reading of both, we find more of sunshine than darkness, more of gladness than sorrow, enough of the good, and grand and noble, to swallow up the evidence of folly and misconception. What a marvelous thing it is, and blessing too, that we have memories, the faculty of running our minds back over years and years so swiftly passed, decade beyond decade, some almost if not into the sunrise of the eventful century just past, and call to mind the happening of an eventful life. It is no less marvelous, and perhaps more of a blessing, that in and through the divine economy, we have the power to forgive the wrongs that memory unwilling retains. So today, while we speak of the war of the rebellion, it is not to upbraid, not to censure. The mellowing influence of more than a third of a century has softened our hearts. erased all bitterness and made us one people, one nation, with one ambition. The wonderful example and manifestation of magnanimity and Continued on second page. Visiting Agriculturists A. J. Peters of Washington, D.
