Young chicks are very partial to potatoes, and the adult fowls also eat them readily. Save all the small and unmarketable potatoes and boil them for the hens. It is not necessary to mash them, as the hens know how to eat them without assistance. Turnips also make cheap food for poultry, especially ducks, and will pay as a crop for feeding in that manner. The most successful breeders of ducks use turnips cooked and thickened with bran for ducklings, and they serve as a very satisfactory diet for geese in winter. But little grain is necessary country is well supplied with cooked The Elephant Corps. An English newspaper, in an article on the Siamese army, says: "In one respect the Siamese army is superior to every other, and that is in its elephant corps. Eight hundred of these animals, which are stronger, though smaller, than those of India, are organized into a special corps, commanded by a retired Anglo-Indian officer, and their heads, trunks and other vulnerable parts are protected against bullets by india rubber armor." A Costly Dish. "Oh, mamma, do Christians eat preachers just like the cannibals do?" "Why, no, my child. What put that notion into your head?" "I heard Mrs. Deekon say this morning that she was going to have her minister for lunch."—Brooklyn Life. It Costs Nothing. Thackeray tells of a lord who never saw a vacant place on his estate, but he took an acorn out of his pocket and dropped it in. Never lose a chance of saying a kind word, of doing a kindly act. It costs nothing. The Cost of a Boy. The following good recitation for a boy was found in the Chicago Advance: It does not take as much money to live in the country, or in a small town, as it does to live in the city. I read the other day that it cost $5,000 to bring up a city boy and educate him and dress him well. I said to myself, "That is because everything in the city has to be bought and living is high."

I read the other day that it cost $5,000 to bring up a city boy and educate him and dress him well. I said to myself, "That is because everything in the city has to be bought and living is high." But I began to study the thing, and I found out that even a country boy cost his parents a good deal. When you count what a boy eats and what he wears, and the schoolbooks he has to have, and the doctor bills that have to be paid when he gets the measles or the scarlet fever, he will cost his folks at least $100 a year. I guess if a boy is pretty bad to smash things or to kick his shoes right out he costs more than that. So when I am 21 and old enough to do for myself I shall have cost father more than $2,000. Mother cooked my victuals, made my clothes and patched them, washed and ironed for me, took care of me when I was a little fellow and whenever I was sick, and she never charged anything for that. If she were dead and father had to hire all that done, it would cost him another $100 a year more, and that's $2,000 worth of work mother will have done for me by the time I am a man. Four thousand dollars for a boy! What do you think of that? These are hard times. When parents put $4,000 into a boy, what have they a right to expect of him? Is it fair for a boy to play truant at school? Is it fair for him to play ball, go in swimming or hang around town all of the time, when maybe his father's potatoes are not dug nor the wood brought in for his mother? Is it fair for him to disappoint them by swearing and drinking? Some of our parents have put about all the property they have into us boys and girls. If we make spittoons and whisky jugs of ourselves, they will be poor indeed. But if we make good citizens and substantial men they will feel as if they had good pay for bringing us up.

BANK OF ANAHEIM PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT SHIER D countries BRAND OES ANAHEIM. 20 DAYS as can be found anywhere e certainly great bargains rate the value of this offer d not to rip, and if they leading department in store Editorial Note and Comment LETTER carriers are already laying plans for the campaign in congress next winter to secure the long-deferred passage of the bill to increase their pay. Eugene Loud, who for many years was chairman of the postoffice committee, was defeated for re-election last year, and the carriers believe that with Loud out of congress their chances of getting better pay are increased 50 per cent. Loud was the determined foe of the letter-carriers' bill, believing that these employees are already paid as much as they should receive. E. J. Cantwell, formerly of Brooklyn and present secretary of the National Association of Letter Carriers, purposes to call on Postmaster-General Payne in the next day or two and arrange an interview between him and a delegation of carriers representing the association, as soon as Payne names the date. Cantwell will send for M. A. Fitzgerald of New York, member of the national executive board of the Letter Carriers' Association, and E. G. Gainer of Muncie, Indiana, secretary of the executive board. Together with Cantwell, these men will present an argument to show that the postoffice department should endorse the project of advancing the pay of the carriers. This is something that postmaster generals for the past four or five years have refused to do. deck will extend from stem to stern built of 21 pounds plating with nickel steel of 40 pounds on the flat and 100 pounds on the slope. Vertical twin screw, four cyclinder, triple expansion engines, will propel them and each vessel will be supplied with water tube boilers. The total ammunition of each vessel will aggregate 594.8 tons. MANAGER ALDEN ANDERSON of the California Fruit Distributors, says the prospect is that the shipments of fresh deciduous fruit from Northern and Central California this season will equal those of last season, provided the shortage on cherries and plums be made up with peaches and pears. Cherry shipments will amount to about 160 cars, which is about 40 per cent less than for last season. 1 Southern Pacific has carried fruit to Ogden so far this season on promised schedule time, but there has been much delay on the Union Pacific. The best time to New York this season from Sacramento has been eleven days, two days longer than scheduled time. Manager Anderson thinks the prospects favorable for a good season for California growers and shippers, as advises show much injury to fruit crops and berries in the East. St. Louis has been added to the auction list, making fourteen cities in which fresh fruit from California will be sold by auction this season. Sales of deciduous fruit f. o. b. California will probably amount to 30 per cent of the total of the fresh fruit shipments, which will be BOLDNESS OF ATTACK SPIRIT OF WORKS Mr. Armor Pava Further Respects Infamous Measure The April Water & Forest ear band two weeks ago; but lack of prevention an earlier review. The number is largely devoted to legislation upon irrigation, and is so farhind in its discussion of the subject that it reads like a reminiscence of first two months of the legislature. The latest information conveyed to readers about the Works' bill report of the senate committee, was dated February 25, 1903; the C bill is printed in full and discussed though it was still pending before legislature. Perhaps the most disappointing ture of this publication is its un treatment of the subject. This is manifest throughout and marked out in part as follows: Ifness of attack upon the rights of people is the standard of comparison then the Works' bill is truly "the important measure concerning irritation that was introduced in the California legislature of 1903." "It was finally decided not to press it," after all, of its passage had been abandoned, not because it had "excited such utility." "Those persons and corporations holding possession of water speculative purposes" were not in evidence against the bill; the opposition was begun simultaneously by the users and Mr. Smythe who hold water. "Other owners and users water were (not) induced to join in the holders of unused water;" but themselves began and maintained fight against the bill because of "fear (or rather knowledge) that their rights would be weakened or taken away." It is not true that "they not understand the bill," and a statement to that effect is an insult to Last winter General Payne simply ignored the subject. In view of the presidential order that the employees of the government should avoid the capitol and not attempt to interfere with legislation in any way, the carriers will be greatly handicapped in the campaign for more pay unless Gen. Payne puts his stamp of approval on the scheme. If he indorses it, carriers will go to work with a will to raise public sentiment in favor of the proposition. Petitions will be secured urging congress to pass the bill. These petitions must, of necessity, be forwarded to Payne, who, in turn will send them to the postoffice committee. The carriers want the present law amended so as to create two new grades of pay, one of $1260 for clerks in large cities and another of $1000 for clerks in cities of less than 75,000 inhabitants. The present maximum pay of carriers in large cities is $1000 and in smaller cities is $850. The letter carriers are much interested in the subject of who is to succeed Loud as chairman of the postoffice committee. Were it not for his infirmities, Keechman of New York would get the place by rule of seniority. George W. Smith of Illinois has been talked of for the position of chairman, as has also Representative Cromer of Illinois. Bins were opened last Thursday at the navy department for the construction of the Minnesota, Vermont and Kansas, the three 16,000-ton battleships authorized by the last congress, each to cost not exceeding $4,212,000. The Newport News Shipbuilding company of Newport News, Va., was the lowest bidder for one vessel; the William Cramp & Son Ship and Engine Building company were the only bidders for more than one ship. These battleships will be the most powerful of the American navy. They will have a required speed of 18 knots, a displacement of 16,000 tons, a main battery of four 12-inch gerald of New York, member of the national executive board of the Letter Carriers' Association, and E.G.

These battleships will be the most powerful of the American navy. They will have a required speed of 18 knots, a displacement of 16,000 tons, a main battery of four 12-inch, eight 8-inch, and twelve 7-inch breech loading rifles, and a secondary battery of twelve 4 inch, one 4-pounder, rapid fire gun, twelve 3-pound, semi-automatic guns, six 1-pound, automatic guns, two 3-inch field pieces; two machine guns and automatic guns. Arrangements of battery will be as follows: The 12-inch guns mounted in pairs in two electrically controlled, balanced, elliptical turrets, on the center line, one forward and one aft, each with an arc of fire of about 270 deg. The 8-inch guns in four electrically controlled elliptical turrets; two on each beam, at each end of the superstructure; the 7-inch guns in broadside, on pedestal mounts on the gun deck behind 6-inch armor, each isolated by special inter-bulkheads of nickel steel; forward and aft guns are arranged to fire right ahead and right astern respectively, the other 7-inch guns to have the usual broadside trains. Guns of the seconary battery will be mounted in commanding positions having a large arc of unobstructed fire. They will have 12-inch and 8-inch turrets. A complete belt of armor nine feet, three inches wide, will protect the hull above the water line and the necessary casement armor and protection for ammunition tubes will be provided. The protected The Southern California Editorial Association, at its meeting at Idyllwild Friday evening, adopted a resolution urging that all proper efforts be made to secure for Southern California the meeting of the National Editorial Association in 1905. A resolution was also adopted indorsing the candidacy of J. P. Baumgartner for president of the National Editorial Association. Pror. H. B. Patton, acting president of the College of Mines in Golden, Colo., has held consultation with President Wheeler at the University of California. The Golden college is short of teachers in mining and the Eastern colleges are unable to supply them. Now the faculty turns to California for the necessary men. To those employed in this capacity professorships will be given. After fighting for almost thirty-seven years, Judge Paul J. Corby has been granted a pension. He enlisted in the Confederate army at the outbreak of the Civil war and won rapid promotion, until, in 1863 he changed his views and joined the Union forces, in which he served with distinction. Because of his enlistment in the Confederate army he was refused recognition as a pensioner for many years, but now will receive a small fortune in back pay. The Curtin bill was pocketed by governor before the printing of number of the Water & Forest; but the only apparent reason for publication that bill is to justify the reprintion of the Chronicle's ill-nature marks about the legislature for passing the Works bill. Any one claims that the Curtin bill was drastic than the Works bill is ignorant of, or wilfully misrepresents facts. However as neither bill came a law, a comparison of their grees of badness is incompetent, levant and immaterial. The first editorial in this numb the magazine is labeled, "Clearin Decks for Battle," and begins an lows: "There can be no reform out a fight. The legal reforms in water laws embodied in the bill pared by the commission appoint the association (sic) have just reached the fighting stage." follows a statement of so-called piles, which have been pretty oughly discussed in the camp against the Works bill and need now be considered; but let us zyze this declaration of war. The belligerents are the Water Forest association on the one side the water-users and their friends on other. The association is comlargely of business and profesmen who have no direct interest irrigation. The water-users are not tillers of the soil, who have learn supplement the scant rainfall water drained from the stream drawn from underground reservoirs. The casus belli is the attempt o association to control the manageof all irrigation in the name of state and to deprive the wateruser more or less of their property in and water-rights. This attempt as a matter of course, been resumed and it will continue to be resisted. Gazette. DAINESS OF ATTACK SPIRIT OF WORKS BILL Armor Paws Further Respects to the Infamous Measure The April Water & Forest came to two weeks ago; but lack of space presented an earlier review. This paper is largely devoted to legislation upon irrigation, and is so far begun in its discussion of the subject it reads like a reminiscence of the two months of the legislature.Latest information conveyed to its readers about the Works' bill is the part of the senate committee, which dated February 25, 1903; the Curtin was printed in full and discussed as such it was still pending before the绞架. Perhaps the most disappointing feature of this publication is its unfairment of the subject. This spirit manifest throughout and may be held out in part as follows: If bold-of attack upon the rights of the secrecy is the standard of comparison, the Works' bill is truly "the most important measure concerning irrigation that was introduced in the California statute of 1903." "It was finally not to press it," after all hope passage had been abandoned, but because it had "exoited such hostility." "Those persons and corporal-holding possession of water for relative purposes" were not in evidence against the bill; the opposition began simultaneously by the water and Mr. Smythe who holds no. "Other owners and users of were (not) induced to join with holders of unused water;" but they selfless began and maintained the against the bill because of the (or rather knowledge) that their would be weakened or taken. It is not true that "they did understand the bill," and a state-to-the effect is an insult to their all the means and power the irrigators can command. Had there been no aggression, there would have been no resistance and consequently no war. The motives of the two sides can only be judged by their actions. It looks as though a small clique of promoters were trying to use the name and influence of the Water & Forest association for sinister purposes, for surely no set of men with an eye single to the welfare of the State would think of interfering with the rights of the farmers and fruit-growers of California. On the other hand the water-users, in resisting this attack upon their interests, are but exercising their rights of self-defense. They do this with a clear knowledge of the effect of the proposed changes in the irrigation law and with as patriotic motives as ever prompted resistance to tyranny in any other form. As to the merits of the contentions, a few comparisons will suffice. The lawyers would not allow the doctors to direct what decisions shall be cited in their cases; the doctors would not consent for the merchants to specify what remedies they should prescribe; the merchants would not permit the butchers to regulate their methods of doing business; the butchers would not let the dentists control the manner of preparing their meats; and the dentists would never submit the many nerve-reckling details of their profession to the hod-carriers. Neither should the farmers be subjected to the dictation of these other classes on irrigation and kindred matters pertaining exclusively to their chosen field of industry. When it is understood that, in addition to this interference with the details of irrigation, it is also proposed to confiscate more or less of the irrigators' water-rights, the full enormity of the attempted rape of the water users becomes apparent. As further evidence of the unfair treatment of the subject by this magazine, attention is called to the compli- LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST DEATH OF DR. CRANE. Dr. Julius A. Crane of Santa Ana, well known throughout the state as superintendent of the Agnews asylum for the insane, died suddenly at his residence on Saturday morning of heart disease, from which he has been a sufferer for a number of years. He spent the morning in town attending to matters of business, and upon going home at noon laid down for a brief rest before dinner. When his wife went to summon him a few minutes later he was dead. He was born in 1846 in Portage county, Ohio, and received his medical education at the Charity Hospital Medical College of Cleveland. From 1873 to 1875 he was first assistant physician in the Iowa State Hospital for the Insane at Mount Pleasant, which position he resigned to come to California. After a year in the northern part of the state he settled in Santana Ana in 1876. Of late years he had restricted his practices considerably and during the last three months had done nothing in a medical way. Dr. Crane was superintendent of the Agnews Asylum for the Insane at Stockton for over two years. At the beginning of this year he resigned to return home, and had since lived at Santa Ana, attending various property interests. At the time of his death he was apparently in the best of health, although he was aware that the nature of his disease was such that the end might come at any time. He was one of the promoters of the Orange County Medical Association an honorary member of the Los Angeles Medical Association, and also a member of the American Medical Association. The remains will be taken to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, for interment. "The persons and corporal holding possession of water for relative purposes" were not in evidence against the bill; the opposition began simultaneously by the water and Mr. Smythe who holds no other owners and users of water (not) induced to join with holders of unused water; but they themselves began and maintained the against the bill because of the (or rather knowledge) that their would be weakened or taken. It is not true that "they did understand the bill," and a statement that effect is an insult to their intelligence. "Their fears once roused were not caught napping), they not, in the time given (nor in other time), be convinced that its actions were in their interests," for simple reason that such was not the committee on irrigation in both cases of the legislature were (not) almost exclusively from the detention opponents of the bill." Since at some very few members of the legislature had declared themselves on the act. That the committees became locally unanimous against the mere afterward was no more than expected from intelligent and not men; in fact, it was no more happened to the whole legislature notified by the Chronicle when it that no one could be found to oppose the bill in either house. The consent of the senate, in an interview cited in 'The Los Angeles Times,' that he appointed the majority of committee from the irrigated port of the State, because such members more likely to know some about irrigation, which was certainly desirable on a committee on that point, regardless of the effect on any regular bill.

When it is understood that, in addition to this interference with the details of irrigation, it is also proposed to confiscate more or less of the irrigators' water-rights, the full enormity of the attempted rape of the water users becomes apparent. As further evidence of the unfair treatment of the subject by this magazine, attention is called to the complimentary notice on page 7 of Judge Works' two pamphlets, without any reference whatever to the replies by the president of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company. These replies fully exposed the weakness of Judge Works' arguments and the unreasonableness of his theories; and yet the magazine extols his discredited pamphlets in order to mislead its readers. All this fighting is done, too, at the expense of an association which is partly supported by the irrigators. When this misuse of funds, to make war upon those who helped to contribute such funds, was called to Mr. Thomas' attention, he said the association would fairly represent both sides in its publication of the discussion. This April number of the magazine is a sample of the association's fairness toward water-users. The proverb that a man cannot serve two masters, is verified in this case; and evidently the irrigators need expect no consideration from the Water & Forest association.—Orange Post, May 2d. Fair Commissioners The California commissioners to the St. Louis exposition have arrived at that city to inspect the site set aside for California, and to make arrangements with the fair officials for the proper installation of the California exhibit. The plans of four architects have been secured for a state building on lines suggested by the commissioners, a general limit being placed on the cost, but no selection of a design has been made. The drawings will be submitted to the men managing the exposition, and final choice deferred until the California commissioners have conferred with Gov. Pardee. The erection of a building outside the exposition grounds at St. Louis, in which to make a collective exhibition of California products, will be considered by the commissioners while they are on the ground. It is about settled that the management of the exposition will not permit any exhibit to be made in any state building on the exposition grounds. NEW HIGH SCHOOLS Two new high schools are now in course of formation in Orange county, one at Orange and the other at Westminster.

NEW HIGH SCHOOLS Two new high schools are now in course of formation in Orange county, one at Orange and the other at Westminster. The Orange school will embrace the districts of Orange, El Medena, McPherson, Olive, West Orange and Villa Park; that at Westminster the districts of Garden Grove, Bolsa, Westminster, Fountain Valley, Pacific City and Smeltzer. Petitions are now being circulated in the various school districts to secure the necessary number of signatures and elections to vote bonds for the erection of the school buildings will probably soon be called. Last year the peatlanders made an effort to organize a highschool district, but the matter was dropped after considerable progress had been made owing to irregularities in the proceedings. County School Superintendent Nichols has been in conference with the citizens of that section recently explaining the requirements of the law in the premises. The two new schools would relieve the Santa Ana high school, which is now in an over crowded condition, of 50 pupils. With them Orange county will have five high schools. Thirty acres of land in the Stern & Nicolas addition has been sold within the last week to employees of the oil wells. J. W. Swingle of the Union Oil Company bought ten acres; E. I. Kelley and Ike Swingle, also of the Union company, bought ten acres each, and L. K. Marshall of the Puente wells six acres. PETER WEISEL IN HIS NEW AUTOMOBILE
