WEIM WEEKLY GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1904. NOTE AND COMMENT IRRIGATION in the west is manifestly on the up-trend. The first boom in building large irrigation works in the west was at its height fifteen years ago. The investment then was popular and eastern and foreign money readily responded to the call of the promoters. With only a few exceptions every western state and territory received the benefits of this expenditure. But this development proved disappointing on the side of colonization. It was found that arid land, worthless without water, was still without practical value after the water had been provided unless there was a man there to till the soil. And this man did not come in sufficient numbers. As an investment irrigation lapsed into unpopularity and the active campaign of reclamation by means of private enterprise came to an end. Since then two things have happened. The tide of settlement has caught up with irrigation. There is now but little virgin soil open to the homeseeker except in the valleys of the arid region. Furthermore, the people have become educated as to the merits of the irrigated farm. They understand what it means to have their crops insured by the ditch. They appreciate the advantages of self sufficiency and of near neighbors offered by the small, diversified irrigated farm. So they are moving into all the places prepared for them by the enterprise of acres of its lands in the west are endeavoring to distract attention from the real issue by kindling popular prejudice against the railroads, which it is set forth are behind this repeal movement in order that their own lands may become more valuable. But this sort of argument no longer appeals to thinking men, who now realize that the real prosperity of any railroad depends upon the settlement of its territory. Those transcontinental railroads which still own lands, and the acreage is comparatively insignificant along side of the public domain through which they run, are much more anxious to see farmers settling in great numbers along their lines, than they are to dispose of their lands. The building up of their traffic will bring them not only immediate but enduring prosperity. A half dozen great irrigation works, distributed throughout the west, would mean more to the railroads than all the benefit they have ever received from their big grants of land from the government. There was quite a little passage at arms the other day in the senate over the operation of some the land laws, which developed the fact that the land frauds in the west and the maleficent effects of the desert act and other land laws have arrested the attention of some of the eastern statesmen. Senator Warren of Wyoming was defending the desert land act, and while he admitted that it might have been abused and evaded, he stated that he knew it had been a great thing for Wyoming, as he had lived in the west since the WHISTLE-WETTERS IN CLUB Three Safoons Licensed In Wettertion—Everybody Thought Town Would Go Dry Trustees Amerigg, Clark andner of the new city council of ton surprised the natives at th ing of the board on Saturday e last by voting to license saloona new incorporation.

There is now but little virgin soil open to the homeseeker except in the valleys of the arid region. Furthermore, the people have become educated as to the merits of the irrigated farm. They understand what it means to have their crops insured by the ditch. They appreciate the advantages of self sufficiency and of near neighbors offered by the small, diversified irrigated farm. So they are moving into all the places prepared for them by the enterprise of other years. CALIFORNIA is getting many of them. But just how many will not be known until another census is taken. The railroads report that they brought 350,000 people to California during 1908, of whom only 90,000 had return tickets. One hopeful report comes from the newly reclaimed desert in eastern San Diego county. On January 1, 1901, there was not a single white man in the neighborhood. On January 1, 1902, there was only a camp of a dozen surveyors. January 1, 1903, saw a population of about 2000, while January 1, 1904, finds about 6000 on the ground. They are still coming very rapidly and another year is likely to disclose an even larger gain. The beautiful Yakima valley in Eastern Washington is witnessing a similar growth. Indeed, this holds true of many parts of the Pacific northwest drained by the Columbia river and its tributaries, including eastern Oregon and southern Idaho. The Rocky Mountain states are finding a strong demand for their irrigated lands. Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico are gaining recruits very rapidly. And, perhaps more encouraging than anything else is the activity of settlement in the long-neglected state of Nevada. Railroad and mining development have much to do with it, but Nevada is also the beneficiary of the general movement of population to irrigated lands. The lesson of all this is that the inauguration of the new national irrigation policy is well timed and that the duty of saving the public lands for actual settlers presses urgently upon congress. It can no longer be claimed that the people do not crave homes in the west. They are clamoring at the door of this great empire and every acre that the government shall claim will be promptly taken by those who are ready to cultivate the soil in good faith. If we have needed the speculator in the past as sort arms the other day in the senate over the operation of some the land laws, which developed the fact that the land frauds in the west and the maleficent effects of the desert act and other land laws have arrested the attention of some of the eastern statesmen. Senator Warren of Wyoming was defending the desert land act, and while he admitted that it might have been abused and evaded, he stated that he knew it had been a great thing for Wyoming, as he had lived in the west since the passage of this act in 1877. "Wyoming," he said, "almost owes its very existence to this law." Inquiry develops the fact that while Wyoming is prosperous, from a stockman's point of view, but comparatively little settlement and home building on the land can have occurred, since the last census shows a population of only 92,000 for a state the size of the six New England states added to Indiana. ANSWERING Senator Warren, Senator Berry of Arkansas stated that in his judgment there had been millions of acres of public land secured under the law by fraudulent acts of persons who procured men to go upon the land, furnishing them the money, and that they violated the law in order to get holdings of thousands of acres of lands into the hands of a few individuals or wealthy corporations. "The secretary of the interior," he stated, "says the frauds which have been perpetrated in some of the western states under the desert land act, under the timber and stone act and under the commutation clause of the home-stead act are perfectly appalling. The senator from Montana, Mr. Gibson, who made a report in favor of the repeal of these laws during the last congress, recites case after case where lands have been procured from this government by the means which I have named and where thousands of acres are held by single individuals or by corporations, upon which they are grazing sheep and cattle today, and the provisions of the desert land act have never been complied with in a great many hundreds of those cases." Senator Spooner, Senator Beveridge and numbers of other eastern men are giving considerable attention to the public land question in the west, and it is believed that a majority of the Senate, at least would favor the repeal of the land laws, excepting only the original homestead act, and the holding of the remaining public land for settlers only. Fullerton's watchword seems economy in public expenditure; the meeting of trustees City Ruddock appeared and said he had pared his bond, but before he wanted to know what his salary to be; and further, he wished enlightened upon the question why he would be required to do this assessing. He was informed he only have to copy the assessment the county assessor's books, an ordinance provided a deputy who do this work. His bond was acted with W. J. Wickersheim, E. W. Wand Wm. Starbuck as sureties each. City Attorney Marks gave his bond with W. J. Wickersheim E. Ruddock as sureties. Treasurer Ford did not hand bond, but will file the same at the meeting. Officers who filed bonds took oath of office and are new on duty. Amerige stated that Sherwood establish lines in the city and necessary engineering for $5 a day he would not furnish a helper price. No action was taken. An also stated that the sidewalks principal streets were twelve wide. Justice Ford was appointed re- and the amount of his bond will ed by the board. Salaries of officers were fixed low: Attorney, $50 a month first three months; marshal, $50; $25; treasurer, one per cent money paid out. Book Agent In Troops C.C. Flater, agent for the books from an eastern public house, was arrested in Visalia warrant charging him with objection money under false pretenses and rived in Santa Ana to appear in J Smithwick's court for trial. The plaint was issued at the instance Bank of Orange, and the allegation part were that Flater had obey money from the institution by orders from trustees of C school districts in Orange county him as payment for books sold thieous boards of trustees of the district The orders were simply on the school superintendent, and that he is said to have refused to drawrants to honor them on the ground that the books purchased by themtees were not on the accredited school books. Flater, however, to have bunched the orders and them to the Bank of Orange attained the face value for them less count agreed upon. When she found the orders were worthless a plaintiff was sworn to charging with obtaining money under false tenses and his arrest followed. was arrested in Visalia and gave ball for his appearance in court this is that the inauguration of the new national irrigation policy is well timed and that the duty of saving the public lands for actual settlers presses urgently upon congress. It can no longer be claimed that the people do not crave homes in the west. They are clamoring at the door of this great empire and every acre that the government shall reclaim will be promptly taken by those who are ready to cultivate the soil in good faith. If we have needed the speculator in the past as sort of advance agent of prosperity, we need him no longer. The land laws under which he has grown rich should be repealed and a true home-stead law put in place of them, so that no one except the actual settler can get possession of this public property. Those interests which for their own reasons are opposed to the repeal of the land laws under which the government is annually disposing of about twenty-five million of the desert land act have never been complied with in a great many hundreds of those cases.” Senator Spooner, Senator Beveridge and numbers of other eastern men are giving considerable attention to the public land question in the west, and it is believed that a majority of the senate, at least would favor the repeal of the land laws, excepting only the original homestead act, and the holding of the remaining public land for settlers only. It has been decided by the members of the republican state executive committee to meet March 11,and to call a meeting of the state central committee for March 12. At the first meeting a call for the state convention will be prepared and submitted to the central committee the following day. The apportionment will probably be on the basis of one delegate for each 200 votes cast for Governor Pardee, which would provide for a convention of 738 delegates. TREATING WALNUT BLIGHT The following recommendation is to the prevention of walnut are based on several years of experiments by the United States partiment of Agriculture: All infected trees should be carefully pruned to remove all chees showing the action of the disease previous year. Remove the tips of limbs, cutting well back or diseased parts. Also cut away small limbs which show the black scars of the past year's disease. The organism causing the disease ters in the pith cavity. Burn allings. Spray the dormant trees eoughly with bordeaux mixture weeks before the spring growth gins. All portions of the tree should be treated. Spray again as soon nuts are firmly set. Use the following formula: pounds copper sulphate, five pounds good quicklime, fifty gallons of slake the lime in an oak barrel add enough water to make 25 gallons of milk of lime. Thoroughly dilute the copper sulphate in an oak containing 25 gallons of cold water continue to pour one painful each milk of lime and copper sulphate simultaneously into a third barrel holding fifty or sixty gallons all of the solutions are thus used Stir the milk of lime as it is dipped and pour it through a fine wire strung into the mixing barrel. Use fresh. Gazette. 25. 1904. HISTLE-WETTERS IN CLOVER Free Safoons Licensed In Wettest Fulerton—Everybody Thought New Town Would Go Dry Trustees Amerlge, Clark and Gardof the new city council of Fullersurprised the natives at the meetof the board on Saturday evening by voting to license saloons in the incorporation. Trustees Chapman Benchley voted no. At the election in April, when a new board will choosen, it is announced the question of Sunday closing will be submitto the voters for final determination. The matter of Sunday closing seems depend upon certain business men bringing to their promise to close their publishments on that day. It is announced that Stern & Goodman have had to close on Sunday after proming the Ministerial Association so to business houses in Anaheim have seriously closed on Sunday, but probably will not continue to do so if Fulton's largest mercantile house falls close. Members of the Ministerial Association, as well as church-goers in both areas are out-spoken in reference to light value placed upon one's prominence quarters, and say if Sunclosing should be defeated because one or two firms breaking away from agreement, these will be things of a lively degree of interest. Fulleton's watchword seems to be enomy in public expenditures. At meeting of trustees City Clerk dock appeared and said he had preced his bond, but before he filed it wanted to know what his salary was; and, further, he wished to be eightened upon the question whether would be required to do the city QUEER NATURAL HISTORY. Some Curious Eighteenth Century Notions About Animals. Some curious specimens of folklore and natural history are contained in a rare book called "The Sportsman's Ditionary," which was published 100 years ago. The author was evidently a Philistine among Philistines in his attitude toward nature. Of the master musician, the blackbird, he says: "This bird is known by all persons and is better to be eaten than kept, being much sweeter to the palate when dead and well roasted than to the ear while living; sings about three months in the year, or four at most, though his song is worth nothing, but if he be taught to whistle he is of some value, being very loud, though coarse." What an ear and mind! And here is a story of the squirrel with the ring in it of the seventeenth even more than the eighteenth century. It reminds one of the hares of IzanaWalton, that changed their sexes once a year: "It what is reported of them be true the admirable cunning of the squirrel appears in her (where we commonly use 'his' when the sex need not be specified our ancestors often used 'her') swimming or passing over a river, for when she is constrained by hunger so to do she seeks out some rind or small bark of a tree, which she sets upon the water and then goes into it, and, holding up her tail like a sail, lets the wind drive her to the other side and carries meat in her mouth to prevent being famished by the length of the voyage." Of the wild boar we have this: "And what place soever he bites, whether man or dog, the heat of his teeth causes inflammation in the wound. If therefore he does but touch the hair of a dog he burns off—nay, huntsmen have tried the heat of his teeth by laying hairs on them as soon as he was dead, and they have shriveled up as if touched with a hot iron." BENTON AND BAKNUM. How the Showman Got a Free Ad. From the Statesman. James G. Blaine said that after Fremont became famous as a painter Benton who had opposed his marriage with his daughter Jessie because conciled with his wife Skelake and took great pride in his achievements as a western explorer. The square on the southern side of Pennsylvania avenue, now occupied by Center market, was then used as a show ground for circuses and other peripatetic exhibitions. About this time P. T. Bignam was beginning his career as a cowboy, and as Colonel Benton was walking down Pennsylvania avenue opposite this show ground he was attracted by the words "John C. Fremont" uttered in a loud voice by a showman standing at the door of a small tent, in front of which was a garish caricature of a nondescript animal supposed to represent the "woolly horse" discovered by Fremont in the recesses of the Rocky mountains. Benton stalked across the avenue and listened with great disgust to the statement by Barnum, who was his own doorkeeper and solicitor, that inside the tent could be found the greatest natural curiosity in the world, "the woolly horse captured by General Fremont and now on exhibition!" Benton denounced Barnum as an impostor and denied that his son-in-law had discovered any such animal. Barnum, who did not know Benton, told him flippantly to pay his quarter and go into the show or make less notes, whereupon the indignant statesman called upon the police to arrest Barnum, and a large crowd assembled to witness the extraordinary scene. The police refused to interfere, and Barnum received a free advertisement, much to his gratification and profit—George G. Vest in Philadelphia Post. A Problem For the Holland Traveler. In passing through the narrow, crooked little street... ALLERTON's watchword seems to be bony in public expenditures. At the meeting of trustees City Clerk Dock appeared and said he had pre-defined his bond, but before he filed it wanted to know what his salary was; and, further, he wished to be lightened upon the question whether would be required to do the city issuing. He was informed he would have to copy the assessment from county assessor's books, and the finance provided a deputy who could his work. His bond was accepted by W. J. Wickersheim, E. W. Dean Wm. Starbuck as sureties. Treasurer Ford did not hand in his bill, but will file the same at the next issuing. Offices who filed bonds took the office and are new on duty. Amerige stated that Sherwood would publish lines in the city and do the necessary engineering for $5 a day, but would not furnish a helper at the office. No action was taken. Amerige stated that the sidewalks on the principal streets were twelve feet in width. Justice Ford was appointed recorder for the amount of his bond will be fixed by the board. Salaries of officers were fixed as follows: Attorney, $50 a month for the three months; marehal, $50; clerk, $100; treasurer, one per cent on all they paid out. Book Agent In Trouble C. Flater, agent for the sale of books from an eastern publishing house, was arrested in Visalia on a grant charging him with obtaining they under false pretenses and he arraised in Santa Ana to appear in Justice Shwick's court for trial. The complaint was issued at the instance of the book of Orange, and the allegations in were that Flater had obtained they from the institution by means orders from trustees of certain local districts in Orange county given as payment for books sold the var-boardes of trustees of the districts.orders were simply on the county col superintendent, and that official had to have refused to draw warrants to honor them on the ground the books purchased by the trus-were not on the accredited list of book books. Flater, however, is said have bunched the orders and taken to the Bank of Orange and obedient the face value for them less disputed upon. When the bank had the orders were worthless a com-mit was sworn to charging Flater obtaining money under false pro-cess and his arrest followed. Flater arrested in Visalia and gave cash for his appearance in court here. OLD HOUSES ON THE HUDSON They Are Picturesque, but Sadly Lacking In Comfort. Dutch customs still prevail to a surprising extent in the old villages up the Hudson, and the modern house-keeper from the city who takes a picturesque dwelling, built about 1690, for a summer home is confronted by some bewildering conditions. While water and the scrubbing brush were and are much in evidence, the sanitation of the bedrooms does not meet modern requirements. In fact, unless the house has been materially altered there were no bedrooms, distinctly such, but from each of the five rooms on the one floor, kitchen, included, open recesses or alcoves just large enough to contain a double bed, says the Brooklyn Eagle. These used to be filled with "four-posters," having trundle beds beneath, so that a family of twenty persons was easily accommodated, and if necessary more people could be placed in the open garret, generally reserved for storage purposes. Reverence for the past and its traditions may induce the house mistress to put her bed in such an alcove at first, but one night's experience of its stuffiness usually suffices, especially as it is impossible to make the bed unless it is rolled out daily, for no space was allowed for going about it. However, the recesses meet the modern requirements for closet room, and remodeled with hooks and curtains, they fill what would otherwise be a decided need, since the only places prepared on which to hang clothes are three hand turned and extremely fat wooden pegs placed between door and window in each room, reminding one of Matthew Vassar's three pegs at the college, "for bonnet, shawl and Sunday dress." Acquiring a Reputation. Archbishop Howley, who lived in the eighteenth century, most unjustly got the reputation of swearing like a trooper. The explanation is that the Duke of Cumberland, who fought the battle of Culloden and who was unspeakably profane, once went in quest of the primate to get his assistance about a certain bill which he disliked. He returned to the house of lords, saying: "It's all right, my lords. I've seen the archbishop, and he says he'll see the promoters to — before he'll vote for the — bill." As a matter of fact, all the profanity had been supplied quite in the ordinary run of conversation by the duke. His Faux Pas. They were uttering the tender non-benton denounced Barnum as an impostor and denied that his son-in-law had discovered any such animal. Barnum, who did not know Benton, told him flippantly to pay his quarter and go into the show or make less noise whereupon the indignant statesmen called upon the police to arrest Barnum, and a large crowd assembled to witness the extraordinary scene. The police refused to interfere, and Barnum received a free advertisement, much to his gratification and profit—George G. Vest in Philadelphia Post. A Problem For the Holland Traveler. In passing through the narrow, crooked little streets of Leuwarden I chanced upon a sign that held my attention and compelled thought. It read, "L. v. d. Zwaan, Morgen Wekker." This is faultless Dutch for Marring Waker, and it signifies that L. v. d. Zwaan will, for a peltry sum, leave his bed in the frosty hours of early morning and putting sweet sleep behind him, arose his slumberous clients. Truly, a worthy calling! Yet, tell me you who are versed in occult things, who or what in this somnolent land wakes; the morgen wekker? Edward Penfield in Scribner's. A Vicious Fish. In South America there is a small fish that not only attacks its fellows of the sea and river, but is greatly dreaded by the natives, who during certain seasons have to fork the streams in which the caribitos are found. Bathers are often attacked by them, the sharp, chisel shaped teeth taking a bit from the flesh whenever they attack. They are perfect scavengers eating the animals that float down the river dead or alive. Jealous Man. Mrs. Pretty—Isn't it strange? Mrs Beautil has not put on mourning for her husband.

Salt pork is good if a man Salt pork is a famous old-fashioned remedy for consumption. "Eat plenty of pork, was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can teach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food, the consumptive needs most. Scott's Emulsion is the modern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is something about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophosphites in Scott's Emulsion that puts him into the dark parts and has a special treatment for diseased lungs.
