MATTERS POLITICAL—A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE THE picture drawn by our esteemed pro-Caldwell contemporary, in effect that Orange county will have three candidates for state senator in next year's convention, while Riverside, combining solidly on Caldwell, walks away with the persimmon, is important if true; also amusing. As a matter of fact Orange county will have but one candidate before the convention, if we read the signs of the times aright, and Riverside, as reported about two months ago, will not insist upon Caldwell's renomination. Republicans in that county who were old at the business of doing politics long before Caldwell's committee clerk acquired a vote in this district are not so ambitious as to claim the senator's renomination when they know full well that it is Orange county's turn at the wheel. So the game has been played since the organization of the old Thirty-ninth district. First one county, then the next, followed by the third, named the senator. This has continued for twelve years, and up to the time Caldwell's committee clerk took it upon himself to change this plan and show the voters how the thing ought to be done. This plan was agreed to in the first place, not for the sake of merely rotating the office between the counties as such, but to place a bar upon anyone fastening himself in the office, term after term, to the exclusion of candidates from the other counties forming the district. This is what Caldwell's supporters seem to be intent upon doing, precisely. If he be renominated next year, what is to hinder his renomination again when his second term shall expire? Riverside will not ask for Caldwell's renomination except on two conditions, one that his renomination be made by unanimous consent of Orange county, and second, that it be made, in that event, with the understanding that Orange county will continue in its support of Congressman Daniels next year. This is according to advices from Republicans at Riverside. THAT PRELIMINARY DRAFT OF AN EPITAPH MR. SHERWOOD in one of his latest publications concerning matters of interest to gators, brushes aside his favorable attitude toward the Yorba reservoir by denominating it "the preliminary draft of its epitaph." We have already seen his attitude toward the reservoir, during the admission of another engineer, was sufficiently hostile viewed in the light as of one engaged in digging a for it. So long as another engineer was employed up work, he "bucked the proposition from the When, however, he succeeded in displacing that and substituting himself in the position, prince came over the spirit of his dreams, and his tude was one characterized by extreme friendliness the records will show. This gentleman was during the greater part summer so favorable toward the construction of reservoir that, when his "advisory committee" assists in joint session with the board of directors, he, aident of the company, announced that construct the reservoir was one of the things for which desired to raise funds, along with cementing the ditch and making other internal improvements. The advisory committee had been appointed with the board in raising funds for these better terms. Mr. Sherwood laid before that committee planning the various items of expenditure, and most anxious to take up the work of constructing reservoir. Why did the "advisory committee" become footed and side step, finally dropping the matter gether, even though the president of the council argued eloquently in favor of his plan? Did it so preliminary draft of the epitaph, or was it because lack of confidence in the board? Now we are told this gentleman favors the plan," which, we are informed, contemplates structuring a tunnel some two miles in length. Scully's and costing $350,000! We doubt if those holders want any of it, but their ear is to the awaiting the first sounds of the preliminary draft of its epitaph. fastening himself in the office, term after term, to the exclusion of candidates from the other counties forming the district. This is what Caldwell's supporters seem to be intent upon doing, precisely. If he be renominated next year, what is to hinder his renomination again when his second term shall expire? Riverside will not ask for Caldwell's renomination except on two conditions, one that his renomination be made by unanimous consent of Orange county, and, second, that it be made, in that event, with the understanding that Orange county will continue in its support of Congressman Daniels next year. This is according to advices from Republicans at Riverside usually well informed as to politics. The congressional honor is more highly prized at Riverside than that of the state senatorship, and, there is evidence that Daniels is not himself averse to promotion in the political game, and that if his course at Washington be successful, he may get in the running for the United States senatorship at some time in the near future. Daniels is laying his foundation securely, and his recently-published interview at Ventura shows him to have a clear insight into the present struggle for the seat of Bard. Were Daniels a trifle older in service—had he received the nomination at Newport Beach—it is entirely probable that he would now be an aspirant for the United States senatorship. He is rich, likes politics and has as many friends in Southern California as any other man occupying a place in the public eye. He has his political enemies on the run, and may have a hankering to get higher up in the political saddle. So it will be seen that so far as Riverside county is concerned, all is not Caldwell thereabouts, not by a great deal. Daniels cuts a far greater swath, and this swath points directly to an Orange county man for the place held by the younger Riversider. And there will be no unseemly scramble for the place—no three candidates with claws in each other's hair. All will be serene, and Daniels will be there, smiling as ever and holding out the glad hand to all and sundry. ROBERT Oxnard was in town a few days ago, the guest of former Senator T. J. Jones. Mr. Oxnard is vice-president of the American Beet Sugar Company, which runs sugar mills at Chino, Oxnard and at various points in other states. His residence is in San Francisco. He is a brother to Henry T. Oxnard, who is an active aspirant for United States senator, to succeed Senator Bard. Mr. Oxnard drove through the beet fields with Senator Jones and returned to his home in the north the following day. His visit here was purely a business one, and when asked relative to his brother's candidacy he referred to it in a manner indicating that he attached no great importance to the matter, and rather evaded the issue. His presence here at about the same time Frank Hatton appeared at Santa Ana, in the capacity of manager of his brother's candidacy started the story that Mr. Oxnard was here on politics bent. But this, we are informed, is unfounded. Mr. Oxnard's visit was purely a business one, so Senator Jones informs us, and he did not talk politics while here. JUDGE BLEDSOR of San Bernardino has remitted decision in the case of the two Orange water companies versus O. B. Fuller, a side farmer, cattleman and politician, who are two ago constructed a ditch and appropriated inches of water from the river, which water property of the irrigators in this valley. Judge Soe's decision is in favor of the water company every point, and is the best piece of news our heard since he rendered his own law points in the case, denying Fuller's merits non-suit, along in December last. Since that court has heard testimony in the case, and for some weeks had the issue under advisement. The decision comes as no surprise to the versant with the points of the judge's decision motion for non-suit. One of the youngest judges upon the bench in this state, the decision regarded as the most luminous exposition of a plex law relating to water rights that had been derived in this state in years. The same points he in the judge's final decision in favor of the vampers. The decision will be found published other column of this issue. Fuller tapped the river to the extent of 100 of water, reducing the supply of the lower inflow by that quantity. The latter brought suit for porary injunction restraining him from such action, but Judge Noyes of Riverside denied such holding the irrigators had failed to show that they sustained loss by Fuller's diversion. The case was finally heard by Judge Bledsoe San Bernardino, sitting for Judge Noyes, to write irrigators objected as a trial judge, and then fought out before that jurist last winter. The tortors were represented by Judges Pope and H.Los Angeles, Richard Melrose of this city and Keech of Santa Ana. The case was ably handled from the start, not a single point being over Fuller was represented by able counsel, the issue meaning much to him. Testimony gave case was to the effect that he irrigated 1000 alfalfa land with water thus diverted from the river and that this land was worth, without irrigation per acre; with this stream of water flowing testimony showed, its value rose to $150 per acre; this water is now flowing into ditches of the irrigators, and may it long continue. The short course in dairying, offered by this site from October 6th to December 17th. It strengthened by revision of the plans. More be given to the subject of "milk production." E. J. Wickson will give twelve instead of six leagues "grasses and forage plants," and Professor E. Witt lectures on "feeding farm animals" and on "brine breeding" will be twenty instead of twelve breeds of dairy cattle will be represented in this site herd, excellent material will be available students to use in judging live stock. Of the new was purely a business one, and when asked relative to his brother's candidacy he referred to it in a manner indicating that he attached no great importance to the matter, and rather evaded the issue. His presence here at about the same time Frank Hatton appeared at Santa Ana, in the capacity of manager of his brother's candidacy started the story that Mr. Oxnard was here on politics bent. But this, we are informed, is unfounded. Mr. Oxnard's visit was purely a business one, so Senator Jones informs us, and he did not talk politics while here. According to the latest year book issued by the United States department of agriculture, the entomological problem of Smyrna fig culture in America is solved and the honor of being the original home of the industry in this country belongs to California. Thousands of figs containing the fig fertilizing insect were introduced into California last year and successfully withstood the winter climate so that an unlimited number of fig insects were available at the proper time for caprification this spring. The results have been gratifying from a commercial point of view. Since it has been demonstrated that the fig insect successfully hibernated at Niles there is no longer any danger of its dying out. Dr. Wiley, chemical expert of the United States government, has satisfied himself as the result of official inquiry in London that only a small proportion of the European wines sold in America are genuine Wiley made the following statement: "The American government will probably have to pursue practically the same policy as the British government under the Merchandise Marks Act in order to secure immunity from fraud in the importation of foreign wines. The English markets before that enactment, were flooded with French wines bearing false labels. The most competent wine expert in London told me that the United States was the dumping ground for all kinds of inferior, mislabeled wines that are unmarketable in Europe. These wines are not only usually of poor quality, but are sold under names which add immensely to their selling value." The Los Alamitos Sun after a brief career of a few weeks has suspended publication. Editor Hopper found the field too limited in extent, and the new publication succumbed to the inevitable. The short course in dairying, offered by the city from October 6th to December 17th, is strengthened by revision of the plans. More students be given to the subject of "milk production." Dr. E. J. Wickson will give twelve instead of six lectures on "feeding farm animals" and on "breeding" will be twenty instead of twelve breeds of dairy cattle will be represented in the city herd, excellent material will be available students to use in judging live stock. Of the more a large proportion will come from the university and it will be possible to give attention to the nature of fancy grades of cheese. Practice in the facture of dairy products will be even more than in previous years. The growing important manufacture of commercial starters necessitate more attention to this side of the work. A separate weeks course in general agriculture and horticulture be given throughout the same period. The courses will be instruction in "California horticulture" by Professor Wickson, "in plant propagation" by Professor Stubenrauch, in "injurious insects" by Mr. Woodworth and Mr. Quayle, in "insecticides" by Professor Colby, in "farmers' business methods" Colmore; and in "sugar beet culture" by Professor Gifford Pinchot, head of the forestry of the United States government, will visit the next week and will deliver three lectures on "of the bureau of forestry in California," "a proper est school for California," and "the forest reserve in California." The football season has begun with a hundred dates for the team on the field every afternoon. Whipple, '00, last year's coach, has returned charge of football, after a summer spent in Alameda mining engineer. Percy Hall, captain of the team will be assistant coach. The increase in numbers detests has compelled a reorganization of the mill department of the university. Hereafter the students be organized as two regiments of nine company Guard-mounting will be performed daily by assigned companies, in addition to the regular Monday and Wednesday mornings. PARTIMINARY DRAFT ON EPITAPH D in one of his latest public uttering matters of interest to irrition aside his favorable attitude to fair by denominating it "the prelimmary."

Preceded in displacing that official himself in the position, presto! a spirit of his dreams, and his attitized by extreme friendliness. That was during the greater part of last year toward the construction of the "advisory committee" assembled on the board of directors, he, as president, announced that construction of all of the things for which it was being along with cementing the Cajon for internal improvements. The committee had been appointed to join in funding funds for these betterments.

Since that time the testimony in the case, and has the issue under advisement. Lines as no surprise to those contents of the judge's decision denying it. One of the youngest superior in this state, the decision was luminous exposition of the com­munity water rights that had been ren­ewed years.

Of the milk used, He gives the following reasons why he is opposed to co-operation, which I shall briefly answer as I restate them: 1. The price to be paid for our right of way is too small.” Farther along he says: “Its commercial value does not depend on its value for agricultural purposes.” That is only partly true. Land may bear a higher value for some other purpose, but its value for agricultural purposes quite often forms the basis for rating. For instance, the Pacific Electric, I am told, has been offering different prices per acre for its right of way, according to the value of the land for agricultural purposes. Reservoir sites harder to find than rights of way; hence the price should be proportionately higher for the former than for the latter. The A. U. W. Co. paid $62.50 per acre for its reservoir site, yet some of its stockholders are not satisfied with $100 per acre for the Cajon right of way! Lest an attempt be made to discredit the reservoir site in order to weaken the argument, I wish to call attention to Schuyler's approval of that site years ago; also to the fact that he still adheres to that opinion. Quite recently he expressed surprise that any one should condemn it, and said there must be some politics back of the opinion. It is certainly worth more, acre for acre, than the Cajon right of way. 2. The construction of a joint canal with its accessories would cost us much more than a separate canal." Sherwood's admissions to Bradford do not bear out this claim; besides it is contrary to the experience of the whole world. You cannot manufacture two pint cups as cheaply as you can one quart cup. 3. That there are serious difficulties in the division of the water." Two or three times Sherwood has admitted that these difficulties were not insuperable and therefore not serious. Bradford naively puts it that if Sherwood can furnish the solution, then other engineers can do the same. 4. That we are not adequately protected from loss during the period of construction." There isn't a particle of ground for this fear. It is necessary for the A. U. W. Co. to enlarge and regrade the ditch for its own use, in case the two companies do not unite. If they do unite they can, with double men and means, do double the work in the same length of time. Our company has always expressed itself as willing to let the other company choose the time of year for the work, and, if need be, take two seasons for its completion. 5. That the Irvine rights are no use to us, with the exception of the right of way, and with that exception should be settled wholly by the other side, including the watering trough proposition." After all that has been said on this point, Sherwood here talks like a simpleton. The right of way, without the water rights, would be no use to any one because the water could not be taken from the river to show that he understands it to mean more than what he says.

That the Irvine rights are of no use to us, with the exception of the right of way, and with that exception should be settled wholly by the other side, including the watering trough proposition." After all that has been said on this point, Sherwood here talks like a simpleton. The right of way, without the water rights, would be of no use to any one, because the water could not be taken from the river to the right of way. There is no more reason why we should acquire Irvine's water rights and present the A. U. W. Co. with a half interest free of charge than that we should receive a half interest in the Cajon free of charge. Such methods of acquiring reservoir sites for half price and valuable water rights for nothing, and at the same time charging four prices for a right of way, may not be "devoid of business principles" for Sherwood, but they certainly are "devoid" of everything for us. 6. That we would be shut out from developments in the upper basin of the river and from saving the water now lost above the headgate." That is a li—kely story. The agreement already made provides that each side may develop water to its heart's content, subject to sharing with the other on receipt of half the cost of developing. The new agreement would supplement the old with more particulars, but not take away any rights. As shown last week, there would be no water "lost above the headgate" after the improvements were made. The answer in the preceding paragraph will apply to all of Sherwood's tommyrot about the S. A. V. I. Co. being "so anxious for our right of way, because they must have the water out of the river bed to construct and operate their "bleeding ditches and drainage galleries and get that 500 inches of water." A man who would deliberately put forth such insinuations to mislead unsophisticated stockholders, would incontinently lie about any other business transaction if he thought who insisted on his pound of flesh and removed the bell.

One of the curious things that men of science have discovered in their innumerable efforts to measure and map the earth with the least possible error is the fact that there are places where the direction of a plumb line is not vertical. Irregularities of density in the crust of the globe may produce this phenomenon. A remarkable instance has been found in our new island of Porto Rico, where the deviation from the vertical is so great that mapping the island the northern and southern coast lines as shown on the older maps had each to be moved inward half a mile. The Columbia. It might be just as well to treat the Columbia with considerable respect. The designers have been theorizing a bit with the Reliance, it seems, and have adopted a broader beam, while the Shamrock III. has been given a narrower one. The foreigners have been following winning designs, while our constructors have taken the other tack. So, after all, the Columbia should not be slighted. It wouldn't be surprising if the Herreschoffs have done their best work in her. She may be needed.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
