MARTIN, Proprietor THE AGILE OSPREY. A Hungry Bird and a Tragedy of a Trout Stream. A big brown and white bird came sailing up the trout stream, his long wings stretched far out to right and left. He flew slowly, for he was looking for something—something that he wanted very much. He was doing his family marketing. Up in the top of a big pine tree—a mile away his wife was sitting on a nest full of eggs, and it was both his duty and his pleasure to find a supper for her. Suddenly he stopped short. He had caught sight of the thing for which he was searching—a dusky, shadowy shape, with an outline like that of a submarine torpedo boat, lying moveless in the clear water. For just an instant he seemed to hang poised in the air, but it was only long enough to change the direction of his motion; then down he went with a rush and a swoop. The brook trout saw him coming and tried to dart away, but it was too late. With a mighty splash the osprey struck the stream and went clear under and out of sight, while the water boiled and surged over him. He could not see for the commotion about him, but his aim had been true, and his out-stretched feet touched a slippery almy, wriggling body that was just beginning to gather headway. Quicker than a wink his toes closed about it and his sharp talons sank deep into the trout's flesh. Then up he came, rising out of the stream like some fabled monster of old and shaking the water from his feathers in a shower of flying drops. Every thread of muscle in his wings and breast was with all its might to lift that F. BACKS, UNDERTAKER And Dealer in FURNITURE.

Up went the bird's great pinions till they were straight above him; then down they came, lashing the air like whips. Up again and down, up and down, up and down, harder and faster and fiercer, and little by little he and his victim rose from the stream till at last they were clear of the tree tops, then straight away to the nest in the old pine, where the wife was waiting to make them both welcome.—W.

When finally rejected by her he flung a package upon the table, exclaiming, "Well at least take this!" and disappeared. The parcel proved to contain a very beautiful jewel. The actress was not long permitted to retain it. She saw no more of her persecutor, but did not remain under any sense of obligation to him. The gem was stolen from her before she quitted the United States. She forgot all about it in the course of the years that followed. A very long time afterward she was in Italy. A peddler displayed the contents of his pack before her at Sorrento. There lay the long lost jewel. Through whose hands it had passed there was nothing to show. A Magnate. "Is he very rich?" "Rich?

In the Canadian Senate last week Sir MacKenzie Bowell, the leader of the opposition, asked for information concerning the Alaskan boundary award. Mr. Scott, for the government, replied that the most important reason why the Canadian commissioners did not approve of the award was that it was not a judicial decision. Lord Alverstone had, in the first instance, agreed that the center of the Portland canal should form the boundary lines. The four islands should have gone to either the one country or the other, depending upon the position of the line through the Portland canal, consequently Lord Alverstone deflected the line so as to throw two of the islands into the United States and two into Canada, that is, Wales and Pearse Islands went to Canada and the two smaller to the United States. Sir Mackenzie Bowell said that it was unfortunate that in every case when negotiations have taken place between the United States and England, where Canada was affected, the United States diplomats had succeeded in securing islands which command most important points of the Dominion. There was the island right opposite the harbor of Port Arthur. In case of difficulty, he said, that island would have to be secured by the British people, for if forfeited, it would command the entrance to that harbor. Unless that evidence of a violent death. On the left side of the skull, low down and well to the rear is a hole such as would have been made by a bullet, and on the opposite side the bones are badly fractured where the bullet crashed out of his brain. Bones over the left eye also are fractured as by a heavy blow. The mute evidence of the shattered head bones leave no doubt that the person, whoever he was, was shot from the rear by some one whose identity is as great a mystery as is that of the murdered person whose bones have brought the the tragedy to light. The most puzzling part of the whole thing is why the bones were preserved as they are and why at this late date they have been incased in an old cracker box and hidden on a ranch. As a climax to the hearing of the application of the probating of the will of the late Philo S. Bennett, accompanying which was a sealed letter which William J. Bryan last week testified was a request that he accept $50,000, Judge Stoddard, who represents Mrs. Bennett, declared that if Mr. Bryan insisted upon receiving the fund she would contest the will. Mr. Bryan, in reply, said that not one cent of the money would he allow either his wife or his children to receive unless Mrs. Bennett were willing. He, however, did intend to ask the court to decide the validity of the bequest, so that in case it was declared legal he could distribute the money among educational and charitable institutions.

Although hence has quite fully demonstrer merits (or lack of it) of practi the well-known varieties, the qhowever, under discussion is important one. It requires a nu years of expensive attention in setting of a grove to its yieldin a grower therefore conti The prosecution of Ellsworth S. Bevans for infringing the prohibition ordinance of Santa Ana took a new turn when Bevans filed suits against City Marshal Maxwell and Officer Baker for $5025 damages for injuries alleged to have been received on September 23, when arrested by Officer Baker, and also for the reason that the arrest is alleged to have been made to embarrass and annoy him. The attorneys for Bevans assert that the damage suit will be prosecuted to the end. At the time of his arrest Bevan's left hand was slightly injured and for this he asks $25 damages, while the rest of the claim is for the embarrassment and annoyance he claims was caused him. Bevans' trial for the illegal dispensing of liquor commenced last week, and a few jurors were examined before a continuance was granted on account of the illness of Earl Rodgers, Bevans' counsel. An attempt was made to invalidate the whole of the first venue of jurymen. CONSIDERABLE excitement was caused at the coroner's office last week when a box containing a skeleton with all the bones perfect arrived at Santa Ana from the Lomita ranch, about fifteen miles west of the city, where it had been found the day before by one of the workmen engaged on the Lomita Land Company's premises. The box also contains pieces of parish that in every case when negotiations have taken place between the United States and England, where Canada was affected, the United States diplomats had succeeded in securing islands which command most important points of the Dominion. There was the island right opposite the harbor of Port Arthur. In case of difficulty, he said, that island would have to be secured by the British people, for if forfeited, it would command the entrance to that harbor. Unless that was done, the United States could secure it, and with the guns they have at present, would be able to destroy the whole connection between East and west. It was the same with the island of San Juan, another secured by treaty negotiation. "Now," said Sir MacKenzie, "the United States will command Fort Simpson. In every case, Canadian interests were sacrificed." Senator McMullen said that the decision would create as much dissatisfaction in Canada as existed in the Transvaal and in Ireland. The United States has gained its commercial treaty with China, relating in part to a section of China which has ceased to be Chinese. Russia occupies that particular part of China, though the time agreed on for evacuation has passed. Both Russia and Japan are maneuvering for position on the borders of Korea, with the evident purpose on the part of each to check the other in attempting to get possession of that locality. Each has an interest in keeping the other out. Only the Yalu and the Tu Man rivers separate Korea from Manchuria, which is now as much Russian as is the Amur province or Trans-Caucasia.

During the hearing Mr. Bryan introduced a mass of correspondence between himself and Mr. Bennett. He read a number of the letters aloud in order to show that Mr. Bennett repeatedly made offers of financial assistance to him. On four occasions, according to the witness, Mr. Bennett sent him money to aid him, the amount in all aggregating $3,500. He related that in May, 1900, Mr. Bennett came to Lincoln, Neb., to discuss the provisions of his will, and told Mr. Bryan that he wished him to accept a bequest of $50,000, believing that he would need it later. Mr. Bryan at that time suggested that if Mr. Bennett so desired he could embody it in a request to Mrs. Bennett in a letter to be left in trust to himself to distribute among educational and philanthropic institutions. After Mr. Bennett returned East he executed his will and sent a copy to Mr. Bryan of what he said was the letter which he left for Mrs. Bennett with his will.

The box also contained excelsior, pieces of partially decomposed rags, supposed to be part of the clothing of the dead, a rusty trousers buckle, a piece of leather from the toe of a man's boot and an extra bone, supposed to be that of a sheep. Coroner Smith of Santa Ana was notified of the find and took the remains in charge, removing them to his office, where they are now on exhibition awaiting the discovery of possible information which will lead to their identification. At present the matter is a complete mystery. From the state of the remains it is uncertain whether the bones are those of a person who died five or twenty years ago, the length of time depending entirely upon how they have been kept meantime. It is certain, however, that they were put into the cracker box recently, possibly a year ago, and that they have been in the spot where they were discovered less than four months, as this year's grass has been covered up and pressed down by its weight. Probably the skeleton is that of a man, as the buckle and leather would indicate. His height was about five feet seven inches, the perfect teeth would show an age of not more than forty, and a few hairs still clinging to the skull are of a black color. The most interesting thing about the whole remains is the skull, which gives indubitable part of each to check the other in attempting to get possession of that locality. Each has an interest in keeping the other out. Only the Yalu and the Tu Man rivers separate Korea from Manchuria, which is now as much Russian as is the Amur province or Trans-Caucasia. Only the straits of Korea divide Korea from Japan. If Russia gets a foothold in Korea she will be in a position to dominate the politics of Japan. H. Japan gets control of Korea, Kissia's further advance in Asia will be stopped, for a time. Naturally, each of these two powers has a far more direct issue in the Manchuria-Korean matter than any other nations can have. Until a quarter of a century ago Korea was a hermit nation, as Japan was until a quarter of a century earlier. The United States brought Japan out of its isolation, and secured the first commercial treaty ever negotiated by Japan with any other power. Japan performed a like service for Korea, and received a like concession. The trade treaty with Korea in 1876 was the first that the latter ever entered into with any country. Since then Korea has become connected diplomatically with nearly all the great nations, China being the second and the United States the third which gained the privilege of commercial intercourse with her. While Russia has endeavored several times to establish something like a protectorate over Korea, the government and the people of that country lean toward Japan, for ethnological and other reasons, and Japan's influence is potent in it. When the story was published the other day of the entrance of a strong body of Japanese troops in Korea to guard against a contemplated movement of the same sort by Russia, or to gain a position by which Japan could bring pressure on Russia to get out of Manchuria, the people of Korea were represented as being pleased. Probably they were pleased. Their sympathies very likely are with Japan in the fight with Russia for dominance in the peninsula, but it is the heaviest fleets and not the feelings of the Koreans which will decide the issue as to the possession of Korea should war take place.

VARIETIES OF ORANGES; THEIR RESPECTIVE MERITS Paper by C. C. Chapman of Placentia Read Before the State Fruit Growers' Association The California fruit-grower is among the most enterprising horticulturists in its or any other country. He keeps close touch with the markets, receiving daily telegraphie reports from leading cities of the country. The brightest indication of a want by a market for any particular fruit or special variety is quickly noted by him, and straightway he sets about endeavouring to supply the demand thus indicated. Not always even does he wait the consumer to make known his desires in this respect, but frequently creates a demand for his product there is, however, one unfortunate feature in this attempt to meet such demand. Every fruit-grower is kept well posted by attendance upon farmers' clubs and institutes, through the numerous horticultural journals, that there is at once a movement all along the line to grow fruit to meet the public want. The uttermost parts of the earth are called upon to supply a stock from which to make the start, the genius of some grower develops from his own orchard the desired fruit, one that meets favor with the trade. It is quite natural that every orchardist should want to grow fruit which meets the most ready demand at consumative prices. Although experience has quite fully demonstrated the merits (or lack of it) of practically all the well-known varieties, the question, however, under discussion is an important one. It requires a number of years of expensive attention from the setting of a grove to its yielding a crop, grower, therefore, contemplating ducing section, to grow only the best fruit, and the Australian Navel does not possess merit sufficient to warrant any grower in retaining it in his orchard, especially since it has been thoroughly demonstrated that large trees may be successfully budded. Recently the Valencia Late has won favor with both the grower and the trade. In fact, from the phenomenally high prices received, especially last year, it may be said that it has become famous as a profitable orange to grow. Not only in Southern California has the Valencia Late won favor, but growers north of the Tehachipi have been attracted by it. The result is, this variety has perhaps been more extensively set out during the last two years than any other. Especially is this true if we are to take into consideration other varieties which have been rebudded to it. We may, therefore, soon expect a very large annual increase in the yield of this splendid orange. We are not prepared to predict with certainty just what the marketing results of this will be. It is certain, however, that there must be a large increase in the demand for a summer orange, or there will be serious disappointment among Valencia growers. I may be charged with selfishness in expressing such pessimistic views with reference to the future of the Valencia. As I have little to fear of an overproduction as any other grower, I believe I can speak on this subject with a reasonable degree of honesty. Conditions, however, may radically change, and I trust they will. While I am convinced that a greater demand than now exists may be created for this orange, as indeed we have seen it rapidly increase during the last two years, yet I doubt that the demand will keep pace with the enormous increase in production which we must look for. The Valencia is not a heavy annual bearer. While I regard the Valencia grown route MAY BE ABANDONED Garden Grove Ranchers Refuse Diagonal Easements Through Their Property for Electric Railway The mass meeting held at Garden Grove Saturday evening in the interests of the proposed electric road from Santa Ana to Los Angeles was well attended by residents of the Garden Grove country and also by Santa Ana delegates from the Chamber of Commerce and City Council. Dr. W. H. Head presided and B. F. Beswick acted as secretary. The report of the committee on right-of-way appointed at the last meeting was first given showing that of the 102 acres to be traversed in the county, free concessions had been granted over only 25, and that for the remaining part of the property owners wanted about $28,000 for right-of-way for the road. With this statement of the case the committee recommended that its report be received, the committee discharged and further effort in securing the line for that route be dropped. Questions brought out the facts that only 20 per cent of the acreage was offered free for the line, and that the prices for right-of-way asked by owners varied from $50 to $800 per acre. Further discussion was held and a motion made that the committee be instructed to interview the Pacific Electric Railway Company in regard to obtaining the road through the Westminster country, instead of through Garden Grove. This motion failed to carry, however, and it was finally decided to continue the committee ten days and allow them to decide whether at the end of that time sufficient encouragement had been shown to make further effort worth while, or whether the entire project of a route through the Garden Grove district should be abandoned. Subcommittee stock from which to make the start, the genius of some grower develops from his own orchard the desired fruit, one that meets favor with the trade. It is quite natural that every orchardist should want to grow fruit which meets the most ready demand at commerative prices. Although experience has quite fully demonstrated the merits (or lack of it) of practically all well-known varieties, the question, however, under discussion is an important one. It requires a number of years of expensive attention from the setting of a grove to its yielding a crop. A grower, therefore, contemplating setting out an orchard or the rebudding of one already in bearing, is considering a question of great interest to him. He should carefully weigh the merits and weaknesses of the various varieties from all the essential points marketing conditions during the interval from the setting of an orchard to its bearing may radically change, or a prospective favorite may develop a weakness that will make it wholly unsustainable. This has been the experience of many growers who have seen their coveted wealth gradually and slowly but surely vanish. To avoid these expensive and exasperating mistakes growers should do a little careful thinking and thinking for themselves. It will not do to follow blindly and enmesse in the footsteps of any grower who may have made something of a success along some particular line. There are varieties of citrus fruits which may be grown to a limited extent with profit, but would result in disaster if very generally cultivated. Take, for instance, the Tangerines, the Satsumas, the Kumquats, the Malta or Ruby Blood, or grape-fruit. There is a demand, at good prices, for a limited quantity of these varieties. In the brief discussion of the merits of the various varieties of the orange grown commercially in California, I shall not attempt to give a description of either the trees or the fruit. The mere mention of the names, I take it, will be quite sufficient, their characteristics being well known. The Washington Navel has justly won its title to be called the "King of Oranges." It is the ideal California orange, being especially adapted to conditions as they exist here. The splendid quality of the Washington Navel has won for Southern California favorable recognition throughout this country and England as an orange district. The tree is an early as well as a regular and heavy bearer, and the fruit is of attractive color, desirable size, a good keeper, and is susceptible of exceedingly high development along these lines. We may have other excellent varieties introduced into California, but I believe that the Washington Navel will continue to hold the first place as California's standard growing and shipping orange. While it is an imported variety, yet commercially it is distinctly a product of Southern California, and has no competitor in Florida, Louisiana, or in any foreign country. It is marketable at a season when an orange is most needed and meets with overproduction as any other grower. I believe I can speak on this subject with a reasonable degree of honesty. Conditions, however, may radically change, and I trust they will. While I am convinced that a greater demand than now exists may be created for this orange, as indeed we have seen it rapidly increase during the last two years, yet I doubt that the demand will keep pace with the enormous increase in production which we must look for. The Valencia is not a heavy annual bearer. While I regard the Valencia grown under favorable conditions as the best orange, all things considered, known here or elsewhere the world over, it has its objections as a standard orange for the general grower, or as the best orange suited to the most favorable marketing period, and these are conditions which must prevail if we expect to make the culture of the orange uniformly profitable. In many districts where it may be grown, so far as the abundance of crops is concerned, the Valencia can not be held without deteriorating, until there is a demand for it at remunerative prices. It loses color, flavor, and fineness of texture, and thus in all the essentials of a superior orange becomes a failure. It comes to its best after the markets have been supplied for six months or more with other varieties, and when both California and Eastern deciduous fruits and berries are in greatest abundance. People therefore naturally turn from the orange and thus materially reduce the demand for a summer orange. In order that we might get a correct idea about prices received for the Valencia, and also to remove false impressions created by the high prices obtained during the close of the last two seasons, I have estimated the average price received from shipments I made during the months of July and August for the past six years. I take these months, because practically the entire crop is usually shipped by the first of September, and also because with most growers it is necessary to ship by that time, the fruit deteriorating if left on the trees longer. Judging from "Fruit World" reports I believe that during these years the prices I have received have on the average been the maximum. As these were the returns with a limited supply upon the market and when every other condition was the most favorable, the growers can speculate as to what they will reach when the supply is greatly augmented, as it must certainly soon be. The average price received for fruit shipped during the time above mentioned was $1.64 per box on the tree. Some of this fruit was sold in New York as late as September 20th. This is a most excellent showing, and could be maintained ought to satisfy the most grasping. Yet it seems not to be as much as many growers have the impression the fruit brought. Occasionally a car would sell at high prices, and it was such reports that made the false impressions. The average, however, gives the correct basis from which to judge of its merit as a marketing. Further discussion was held and a motion made that the committee be instructed to interview the Pacific Electric Railway Company in regard to obtaining the road through the Westminster country; instead of through Garden Grove. This motion failed to carry, however, and it was finally decided to continue the committee ten days and allow them to decide whether at the end of that time sufficient encouragement had been shown to make further effort worth while, or whether the entire project of a route through the Garden Grove district should be abandoned. Sub-committees were also appointed in different sections to aid the main committee in its work. Seven Years William Odell, charged with rape upon the person of Myrtle Zackman of Anaheim, pleaded guilty in the Superior Court to a charge of assault with intent to commit rape, and was sentenced by Judge West to seven years at San Quentin. Odell was sent north on Saturday. The crime for which Odell will spend seven of the best years of his life in prison was committed at Anaheim on September 7. At the preliminary examination he confessed his guilt, but later in the Superior Court entered a plea of not guilty, and had his trial set for October 26. Since that time he again changed his mind, and decided to plead guilty to the modified charge of attempted rape. Odell is about 23 years of age. CABAZON WANTS AID The first instance in the state where an Indian has appealed, to the county board of supervisors for aid occurred a few days ago at San Bernardino. A petition from Chief Cabazon was filed with the clerk of the board. Cabazon is now over 100 years old, and crippled with his weight of years and rheumatism. In the early days he was the most powerful chief of Southern California Indians, and frequently displayed great bravery in protecting the white settlers from massacres at the hands of Mexican outlaws and renegade tribes from Nevada. On one occasion he and his captain, one Antonio, with a handful of warriors, surprised a band of outlaws who were collecting in San Timoteo canyon, northeast of San Bernardino, intending to raze the settlement. After a sharp battle Cabazon's band routed Mexicans with great loss. Forty of Cabazon's tribe were killed and many wounded. Only a few years ago the bones of those slain in this battle were gathered by the pioneers and given decent burial. All the pioneers and their families of the San Bernardino valley have signed Cabazon's petition for aid. "The sins of the parents are visited upon the child." "Yes, indeed. They heir their domestic relations that way, as a rule."—Jugge. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's guests are much annoyed at the announcement that time no longer waits for them at her recent We may have other excellent varieties introduced into California, but I believe that the Washington Navel will continue to hold the first place as California's standard growing and shipping orange. While it is an imported variety, yet commercially it is distinctly a product of Southern California, and has no competitor in Florida, Louisiana, or in any foreign country. It is marketable at a season when an orange is most needed and meets with a general demand throughout the country, and so far as present indications point it will be difficult to produce more of this fruit than the markets can take care of at reasonably profitable prices; provided, however, that the growers send to market only a superior article, such as the Washington Navel is capable of being made; and further provided, that the transportation companies will deliver them promptly and with the least possible injury. The Australian Navel was introduced into Southern California at about the same time as the Washington Navel. As every grower knows, the tree of the Australian is a more vigorous grower than the Washington, but is a shy and irregular bearer. It is not the province of this paper to enter into a discussion of the difference between the Washington and the Australian Navel, and how these differences may have been brought about. Suffice it to say that there is a radical difference in the shape and growth of the tree as well as in the character of the fruit. Unfortunately the Australian has been well scattered through the orchards of Southern California. In the early days it was supposed by many to be identical with the Washington Navel, and no particular care was taken in securing buds for nursery stock. Orchards generally were thus badly spotted with the Australian; but many orchardists have very wisely rebudded to the more popular variety. The continued demand for a better orange is imperative, and it behooves every grower, in order to make his business a success and to keep California in the lead as an orange-producing area, as it must certainly soon be. The average price received for fruit shipped during the time above mentioned was $1.64 per box on the tree. Some of this fruit was sold in New York as late as September 20th. This is a most excellent showing, and could it be maintained ought to satisfy the most grasping. Yet it seems not to be as much as many growers have the impression the fruit brought. Occasionally a car would sell at high prices, and it was such reports that made the false impressions. The average, however, gives the correct basis from which to judge of its merit as a marketing orange. In discussing the merits of the Valentia Late it should be understood that I embrace the orange known as Hart's Tardiff, for if there be a difference between the two it is but slight. I also notice the tendency of growers and shippers of Hart's Tardiff to abandon that name, evidently preferring that of the Valentia Late, it, for the present at least, being the more popular. Nurserymen who have heretofore advertised the Hart's Tardiff have also fallen into line, and now from the same stock are able to supply the trade with the Valentia Late. One of the best oranges in many respects, and one of the most profitable that is grown in Southern California, is the St. Michael. There are at least three distinct varieties called the St. Michael. One, however, the Red St. (Continued on page 4.) Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. 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 infirmed 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 condition of the mucous services.
