F. MARTIN, Prophetor Turf as Fuel. Harold Harfagr in the year 888 granted the Islands of Orkney to Earl Eyner, brother to Duke Ronald Normandy. When Earl Eyner came to live in his new possessions he found them quite bare of any trees and producing only a very few stunted bushes. The Orkneys are bitterly cold and wind swept, so when the inhabitants had used up all the wood they could procure they came to their new earl for advice. He recommended them to cut out pieces of turf, dry them and use them for fuel. This they did with such great success that the custom spread to Scotland and thence to Ireland and to many parts of England. Earl Eyner was always known afterward as Turf Eyner. "Peat rights" were defined by march stones with three whelks laid under each and were jealously guarded by the townships or individuals to whom they belonged. Throughout Scotland up to the thirteenth century peat and bogwood were universally used for winter fires and broom and whin during summer. Some etymologists regard the name of peat as almost synonymous with fuel, deriving it from the early English "beten," to replenish a fire. Court Room Repartee.

In a suit relating to brewery property reported in Case and Comment an eminent and very dignified counselor was one day reading to the court some manuscript affidavits which were not overlegible and by mistake read the word "mash" as "wash." Counsel on the other side, who was small of stature and polite in manner, but keen in intellect and frequently sarcastic, was immediately on his feet and, with a somewhat irritating deference of manner, begging his opponent's pardon, etc., asked liberty to suggest that the word which the eminent counselor read "wash" was really "mash." Somewhat nettled, the counselor thus corrected thanked him for the information and added that he was not himself very familiar with terms used in the brewery business, as he had never spent much of his time in a place of that kind. "Are we to understand, then," said his opponent in the suavest manner, "that the eminent counselor wishes us to infer that his early days were spent in a laundry?" "Omit the Third Stanza." Mabelle had been unusually quiet at church one Sunday. She was generally a very restless listener. Her mother, noticing it, asked her: "What made you so good during service this morning, daughter?" "I was thinking," answered the child, "why the people who write hymns always put something bad in them that the minister can't let the people sing. He always says 'omit the third' or some other stanza, and he says it over twice, so they'll be sure not to sing it, so it must be something wicked."—New York Times.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1903 IN A MINOR KEY Twenty cargoes of foods and wines have been rejected by the Department of Agriculture as unfit to be consumed by the people of the United States under the new Foreign Pure Food Law which became operative July 1 last. The list of rejected imports includes two cargoes of Sauterne wines, five cargoes of Rhine wines, four cargoes of olive oil, three cargoes of Frankfurter sausages, one cargo of vinegar, one cargo of coloring matter for foods and four cargoes of canned vegetables. Since the law became operative 205 samples have been taken. Eighteen of the samples are yet to be analyzed; 167 cargoes have been pronounced pure and twenty were rejected as impure. This shows that 104 per cent. of the foods imported into the United States since July 1 has been found impure and unfit for consumption. Disposition has not been made of all rejected cargoes, but it has been decided to allow them to be shipped out of the country or destroyed. In a few instances the order of rejection has been suspended in order to allow the importer to submit additional evidence, but there is no expectation that this new evidence will change the rulings of the Agricultural Department. Most of the shipments were received at the port of New York, but some cargoes were brought in at New Orleans, Charleston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Buffalo. Secretary Wil- 50 per cent. of their value. These bonds were placed in escrow with the San Francisco Savings Union Bank, and they called for $273,075. At the commencement of the present year the board of supervisors of Tulare county placed an assessment of 3.6 cents on the dollar to raise money to pay this amount, and arranged to take up the bonds on October 1. Fearing that the amount raised by taxation would not be sufficient, the citizens of Tulare, at a mass meeting recently, subscribed $10,000 to make up any deficiency. But a small part of this, however, was required. Last Thursday the money was formally turned over to the bank that acted as the representative of the bondholders and the bonds were in turn surrendered to the committee representing the citizens of the Tulare irrigation district. COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS WARE has been doing some figuring to find out what it would cost the government to put into force the recommendations of the Grand Army veterans for a more liberal pension law. He finds that the proposed law would add something like 200,000 pensioners to the roll, and that it would cost in the neighborhood of $25,000,000 to pay the additional pensions. The general subject of pension legislation will take up much of the time of Congress in the coming session, for the Grand Army leaders have announced their determination to inaugurate a vigorous campaign for the enactment of a law to pension thousands of veterans who are not KIEFER'S VIEW FORMER ANAHEIMER THAT FORESTS PREVENT FLOODS Study of a Sierra Watershed State that Forested Area Defects Water to Stream Uniformly Throughout Year. Stephen E. Klefer, formerly a dent of this city, now of the north part of the state, recently read a giving his views upon the subject prevention of floods by forests, by the water and forest association. Have been favored with a copy of same and here reproduce it as follo. Comparatively few of the people our state have any appreciative knowledge of the source of the streams see emerging from the foothills of Sierras into the plains below. Topographical features of the SIerras are peculiar in many respects. The distance of from fifty miles from foothills to summit is up of a long sweep of gradually lit ridges or "divides," very wide comparatively flat on top, between which the main channels of the stream find their way to the valley at the tom of the deep canyons. Up to the 3500 foot level the cover of bushes and timber is comparatively light. From the 3500 to 6500 foot els, approximately, the timber be found. Here the timber is heavy; the soil deep over the summits or divides, and the snowfall will run from about two to nine feet in depth. but it has been decided to allow them to be shipped out of the country or destroyed. In a few instances the order of rejection has been suspended in order to allow the importer to submit additional evidence, but there is no expectation that this new evidence will change the rulings of the Agricultural Department. Most of the shipments were received at the port of New York, but some cargoes were brought in at New Orleans, Charleston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Buffalo. Secretary Wilson has just appointed Prof. George E. Colby of the University of California as special agent to make analysis of food shipments to California ports. Heretofore, under the direction of Secretary Wilson, information regarding action decided upon by the Agricultural Department with reference to food shipments has been withheld pending final disposition of rejected shipments. A new order has now been issued by the secretary, whereby information of the rejection will be furnished as soon as that conclusion is reached. Doubt no longer exists as to the success of the approaching World's Fair at St. Louis, so far as the foreign representation is concerned. Although in the introductory negotiations as Russia and Austria in Europe and China and Japan in Asia declined to participate and the outlook was discouraging for other prominent nations, thirty-five of the forty odd independent nations of the world have now formally accepted the invitation to take part, and many of them have made arrangements in an advanced stage. Besides these thirty-five countries not less than a dozen of the great colonies of European nations are preparing comprehensive exhibits. Moreover, Russia, China and other countries that at first declined to take part, have reconsidered their action and will be represented on an elegant scale. The appropriations already made or officially assured by foreign governments for buildings and exhibits show a grand total of nearly $7,000,000. This exceeds by $1,000,000 the amount correspondingly appropriated for the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, and represents an average of nearly $140,000 for each country. Europe will expend approximately $8,000,000; Asia $2,000,000; Central and South America, $1,000,000; and Africa, $200,000. The Tulare irrigation district is free of debt. The bonds that were found that the proposed law would add something like 200,000 pensioners to the roll, and that it would cost in the neighborhood of $25,000,000 to pay the additional pensions. The general subject of pension legislation will take up much of the time of Congress in the coming session, for the Grand Army leaders have announced their determination to inaugurate a vigorous campaign for the enactment of a law to pension thousands of veterans who are not now eligible for a government bounty. This will be in the way of following out the resolutions that were adopted during the annual encampment in San Francisco. At that gathering it was agreed to ask Congress to pass a law giving a pension of $12 a month to every surviving soldier who served ninety days in the Civil War, and who received an honorable discharge. This is a proposition more sweeping in character than anything which has been proposed since the act of June 27, 1890, was passed, which added more than half a million of pensioners to the roll. Some of the veterans think that the demand of the San Francisco encampment is too mild, in that it does not ask anything for the widows and children of ninety-day roy, editor of National Trial Organ of the Grand Army of the Republic, is advocating a straight service pension of $12 a month to be paid to soldiers' widows and children alike. He thinks it was unwise for the encampment to have gone on record as favoring a more moderate enactment, and proposes to continue his campaign for a more liberal law. More than one hundred thousand Republican voters will be organized under the banner of the National League of Republican clubs when it comes time to cast votes for the next President of the United States. This prediction was made last week by J. Hampton Moore, president of the organization, when he called to order a meeting of the executive committee of the organization at the Auditorium Annex in Chicago. More than thirty-five states were represented at the meeting. The organization now boasts of more than half a million members, several states having nearly one thousand clubs. The purpose of the meeting in Chicago was to lay the preliminary plans for the campaign next year. All the working committees are now filled to the full quota, their business, particularly in the states, being to arouse the voters and get out the vote.

The Tulare irrigation district is free of debt. The bonds that were outstanding against it have been taken up and shortly the documents will make the foundation of a huge bonfire in the city of Tulare, which will signalize the event by a grand celebration, to which Governor Pardee has been invited. On July 1, 1890, the Tulare irrigation district was formed and bonds to the amount of $500,000 were issued. About 300 miles of ditches were constructed and water was carried to about 37,000 acres of land. This territory now includes the city of Tulare. These bonds bore interest at 6 per cent. and were to be taken up at the end of twenty years. The land to which the water was carried was taxed to pay the premium and sinking fund on the bonds, and for about six years the property owners paid the taxes. Then came objections to the assessment, and during the next few years few of the property owners would pay the tax. Judgments were obtained against the land by some of the bondholders and a cloud was put on the titles of all the property in the district. About a year ago the Tulare board of trade appointed a committee to devise some means of liquidating this debt. This committee succeeded in effecting a compromise by which the bondholders agreed to take up the amounts of the bonds that were still outstanding and the accumulated interest at Auditorium Annex in Chicago. More than thirty-five states were represented at the meeting. The organization now boasts of more than half a million members, several states having nearly one thousand clubs. The purpose of the meeting in Chicago was to lay the preliminary plans for the campaign next year. All the working committees are now filled to the full quota, their business, particularly in the states, being to arouse the voters and get out the vote. In Chicago the Hamilton club is the chief representative of the league, and the delegates were entertained there. President Moore said: "While not committed to any candidate, the league is prepared to take an aggressive stand in the field for the national ticket of the Republican party. It is always in line to say something good of the President. In the southwest, particularly, and the west as a whole, Roosevelt clubs are being organized without number." Indianapolis was selected for the holding of the coming convention of the league. Plans were made for party rallies in every state in the Union in the coming campaign to be held under the personal direction of officers and men of the executive committee. An important water right suit has been settled in the Fresno courts by compromise. The suit was that of Miller & Lux and the San Joaquin and King's River Canal and Irrigation company against the Madera Canal and Irrigation company. It was in this action that Miller & Lux set up the direct claim to all the waters of the San Joaquin river and every one of its tributaries. For Rent Furnished front room for rent, inquiry at this office. This snow disappeared rapidly; careful observation during this period failed to show any material increase in the volume of flow in the streams. From this period into the summer these streams showed a very gradual decline, almost unnoticed in some until the middle of July, after time the flow very gradually increased. In contrast to this, the main stems fed from the melting snows of the ren and exposed slopes of the suir zone, maintained its high rate of flood conditions often prevailing about July 1st. After this date the volume of rapidly decreased, and from July 20th there was a sudden drop, the volume of flow from the suir zone did not much exceed that of the timber zone. This decline continued until minimum measurements were made September, when the volume o'from the 125 square miles of the mit zone was less than that from square miles of the timber zone. No further comment is needed; phasize the value of the Sierra as conservators of the water supply. Lumbering operations thus far western Sierra slopes have been fined to limited and most acco areas. However, the day when its stability of the forests was their tion is a thing of the past. The tension of the lumber interests is centered in this state as never and already vast areas have been chased by eastern companies for bering purposes. The timber interests of the state a legitimate place, and a very one, in our commercial life. It is needed and must be supplied there is no reason why the hoests should not supply this news it possible to do this and y serve those features of them which tend to make them fountain-beads of the streams derground channels that keep an industrial centers. As an example of what may be implicated, I call to mind one se KIEFER'S VIEWS MER ANAHEIMER TELLS HOW FORESTS PREVENT FLOODS of a Sierra Watershed Showed that Forested Area Defected Water to Stream Uniformly Throughout Year. Stephen E. Klefer, formerly a resident of this city, now of the northern state, recently read a paper giving his views upon the subject of prevention of floods by forests, before water and forest association. We been favored with a copy of the land here reproduce it as follows: comparatively few of the people of state have any appreciative knowledge of the source of the streams they emerging from the foothills of the basin into the plains below. Geographical features of the Sierra necular in many respects. The distance of from fifty to sixty from footbills to summit is made a long sweep of gradually lifting so or "divides," very wide and relatively flat on top, between the main channels of the streams their way to the valley at the bottom of the deep canyons. To the 3500 foot level the covering shores and timber is comparatively From the 3500 to 6500 foot lev- approximately, the timber belt is Here the timber is heavy and will deep over the summits of the hills, and the snowfall will range about two to nine feet in depth. the Sierras where the destruction has been almost complete, and the operations of one company contemplate a fifty-year campaign into new territory. The means of destruction may be briefly stated as the axe and the fire. Small words with a far-reaching significance! The first means of destruction to be impressed upon me was one that possibly few people know anything about, and that cannot be condemned too strongly. Even those engaged in the business, whom I could get to express an opinion, condemned the practice as a wanton waste of timber that ought to be stopped. I refer to the making of shakes. From the small area already mentioned there goes out each year about 2,000,000 shakes. Nothing but the finest of sugar pine trees are cut for this purpose. If the first length cut from the tree does not split perfectly straight, the tree is abandoned and another cut dow. The probable average production from the trees utilized, making no allowance for the ones thrown away entirely, is not more than 5000 shakes per tree, which represents but a small fraction of the available lumber in the tree. It can readily be understood, therefore, that the waste of timber is great. Passing from the individual operator splitting shakes to the large company operating mills, we find the most important means of destruction. Within this same area there are two companies, one with mills in operation and the other preparing to erect mills, and controlling together about 30,000 acres of the cream of the timber belt. What may be is well illustrated by what has been done by one of these companies. Passing from the shade of heavy forests the traveler will emerge upon an open waste, with here and there a tree of inferior quality or small size standing to tell the story of what has been done. MILLS DISSENTS NEW ARGUMENTS BROUGHT OUT AGAINST WATER MERGER Losses Shown to Have Been Sustained by Water Company Through Incompetent Engineering—Law suit Result of It EDITOR GAZETTE: It would seem that enough had been written on the proposed water deal, and yet it is evident that many stockholders do not grasp the danger of the situation. Certainly Mr Bradford's last article shows that he is either ignorant of what the resolutions of the board means or that that he is attempting to wilfully mislead the stockholders. Under the resolution passed by the board of the A. U. W. Co. the S. A. V. I. Co. is not bound to ever put in one dollar's worth of cement or any other work on the canal even below the division gate, say nothing of making and cementing a new canal above this point. The inference, of course, is that they will be willing to proceed to improve, with us, that part of the canal below the present division point and the S. A. V. I. Co. intake, but there can be no inference, either reasonable or unreasonable, that they will be willing to proceed to go above the present division gate. What is more, if the deal be consummated in accordance with the resolution the S. A. V. I. Co. can not only refuse to do a bit of work below or above the present division point, but could prevent us from ever making The distance of from fifty to sixty miles from foothills to summit is made by a long sweep of gradually lifting tiers or "divides," very wide and relatively flat on top, between the main channels of the streams their way to the valley at the bottom of the deep canyons. To the 3500 foot level the covering shores and timber is comparatively low. From the 3500 to 6500 foot levapproximately, the timber belt is here. The timber is heavy and will deep over the summits of the tiers, and the snowfall will range about two to nine feet in depth. Over the 6500 foot level the timber belt is to fall off in size and quantity, slopes become steeper and come out of exposed granite ledges, and snowfall reaches its maximum for range of mountains. Finally stated, the Sierra slope is up of three zones—the foothill,umber and the summit. The stream upon which the follow observations were made is one of main branches of a principal tribunal to the Sacramento river, and lies within the timber and summit tributary watershed is about 200 square miles. The eastern boundary of this area is summit line of the Sierra, with a minimum elevation of nearly 11,000 and the western boundary is a drown across the timber zone near western limit at an elevation of eight. The 200 square miles, approximately zone, and 120 square miles on the summit zone. The entire area has a snowfall during winter, the snow generally disappearing from the lower levels during month of March. From the 75 square miles of timber lateral streams feed into the main stream, and above this area the contributions from the 125 square miles are ordered as being concentrated in the channel. When first observed in March, there was at the lower levels was nearly from snow, and the lateral streams the timber zone had reached nearly normal rating. The discharge of the main stream, from the summit zone, was quit form from day to day, but very fully five times the combined escheduled discharge of the lateral streams the timber zone. During the latter part of March two storms covered the low levels to a total of one foot each. This snow disappeared rapidly, but usual observation during this period did to show any material increase in volume of flow in the lateral streams. From this period into the summer streams showed a very gradual rise, almost unnoticed in some cases, in the middle of July, after which the flow very gradually increased contrast to this, the main stream, from the melting snows of the barren and exposed slopes of the summit, maintained its high rate of flow, conditions often prevailing, until suddenly changes of weather are especially trying, and probably to none more so than to the scorchful and conducive means of destruction. Within this same area there are two companies, one with mills in operation and the other preparing to erect mills, and controlling together about 30,000 acres of the cream of the timber belt. What may be is well illustrated by what has been done by one of these companies. Passing from the shade of heavy forests the traveler will emerge upon an open waste, with here and there a tree of inferior quality or small size standing to tell the story of what has been done. On the ground the way is blocked by vast numbers of saw logs prepared for the mill. Practically a clean sweep has been made of the forest. Various misfortunes prevented getting the logs to the mill, and a great portion of them will prove a total loss. At the time of my visit last summer fire swept a portion of this area, and the vast quantity of refuse from the felled trees, that had been drying for years, made an ideal fuel. The ground was baked, and that spot will lie barren for a long time, if it ever develops a new growth. The damage to the forests from fire is almost beyond comprehension. The reproductive power of the coniferous trees is remarkable, and if fires could be prevented the new growth that would rapidly spring up would have more value as a conservator of moisture than the mature forests. In year before a fire sweeps through them. Only the large, mature trees can withstand the flames, and with their passing a lot of dry, dead spears are left to cumber the ground and still further choke down the next attempt of the forest to restore itself. The causes of forest fires are generally the neglected fires of strolling campers, and the identification of the guilty parties is rarely effected. Without entering into the legal phases of the subject, I should say, theoretically, that the proper steps to take to preserve the forests would be to extend the forest reserves wherever practicable, and where private ownership prevails, to call a halt on the indiscriminate and wasteful cutting of timber, and regulate the cutting on scientific principles and under direction of experts. The lumberman should not be allowed to efface the forests any more than the hydraulic miner is allowed to fill up the channels of the streams with tailings. For the prevention of fires an effective patrol should be provided and records kept of the movements of campers and shepherders, so that those who cause damage could be traced and identified. Let prospective offenders know that their movements are kept track of, and live ashes in an abandoned camp ground will never be found. The Royal Mohth and the Royal Disease Sudden changes of weather are especially trying, and probably to none more so than to the scorchulous and conducive means of destruction.

One is to go on as we are now. The division gate to be put in and then; as was discovered this spring; current found running strongly to S.A.V.I.C.O. puts in a wing dam; and then; with more or less soundings of trumpets and glint of arms and rattle of picks and shovels; she S.A.V.I.C.O. tears wing dam to shredds. Next a meeting of two boards at division gate with engineers; etc., another dam which all agree is correct thing. Yet owing to seepage and diverse currents it is asserted that S.A.V.I.C.O. gets more than half water and they have and do positively forbid that we measure their stream to find out if they division gate is properly dividing water. Another way would be to put in contract just how they water is to be divided and that either party may at any time measure their streams below their division gate to be certain that they division gate is correct; and that this all be agreed to beforehand so that it may be done in a business-like and orderly way; and so done that correctness of the division cannot be questioned."> But most dangerous feature of whole affair is time that water is likely to be out of our canal. We hard troubles enough of our own." This snow disappeared rapidly, but the observation during this period led to show any material increase in volume of flow in the lateral streams. From this period into the summer the streams showed a very gradual rise, almost unnoticed in some cases. In the middle of July, after which the flow very gradually increased contrast to this, the main stream, from the melting snows of the bar and exposed slopes of the summit, maintained its high rate of flow, conditions often prevailing until July 1st. After this date the volume of flow suddenly decreased, and from July 15th there was a sudden drop, until the volume of flow from the summit did not much exceed that from timber zone. This decline continued until final maximum measurements were made in December, when the volume of flow at the 125 square miles of the summit was less than that from the 75 square miles of the timber zone. Further comment is needed to emphasize the value of the Sierra forests conservators of the water supply. Numbering operations thus far on the eastern Sierra slopes have been conducted to limited and the most accessible areas. However, the day when the inaccessibility of the forests was their protector is a thing of the past. The attention of the lumber interests is being referred to in this state as never before, already vast areas have been pursued by eastern companies for logging purposes. The timber interests of the state have legitimate place, and a very large commercial life. Lumber needed and must be supplied, and there is no reason why the home for such should not supply this need. But it is possible to do this and yet preserve those features of the forests which tend to make of them the great contain-heads of the streams and underground channels that keep alive the industrial centers. As an example of what may be anticipated, I call to mind one section of For the prevention of fires an effective patrol should be provided and records kept of the movements of campers and sheepherders, so that those who cause damage could be traced and identified. Let prospective offenders know that their movements are kept track of, and live ashes in an abandoned camp ground will never be found. The Royal Mohth and the Royal Disease Sudden changes of weather are especially trying, and probably to none more so than to the scrofulous and consumptive. The progress of scrofula during a normal October is commonly great. We never think of scrofula—its bunches, cutaneous eruptions, and wasting of the bodily substance—without thinking of the great good many sufferers from it have derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla, whose radical and permanent cures of this one disease are enough to make it the most famous medicine in the world. There is probably not a city or town where Hood's Sarsaparilla has not proved its merit in more homes than one, in arresting and completely eradicating scrofula, which is almost as serious and as much to be feared as its near relative—consumption.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed co dition of the mucous services.
