ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1904. SENATOR PERKINS' VIEWS OF RECENT CONGRESS Talks of Appropriations and Offer Matters of Interest to California—Nation Ahead of the World. United States Senator George C. Perkins returned this week from Washington, having stopped en route at the St. Louis exposition. Perkins spoke highly of the work by Congress and paid a compliment to his Republican colleagues from California. Of legislation the Senator pointed particularly to the enactment that will continue to bar Chinese coolie immigration. "This was a Republican measure, prepared by a Republican State Department, indorsed by a Republican Attorney General, introduced into the House by Congressman Hitt, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, and in the Senate by Perkins, also a Republican, and signed by a Republican President," said Perkins. "Though the treaty with China lapses in December, this law will do the work of protection." The Congress which has just closed has been characterized by a more careful and business-like consideration of appropriations than usual. This was not due to any fear of Democratic criticism, but the natural result of that conservative spirit which yearly becomes more evident in the Republican party as it is called upon to consider questions of greater and greater importance. That our expenditures are increasing is only another way of saying that our country is increasing in becoming self-dependent, and capable of assimilating our own ideas which lead to prosperity and well-being, and Congress has taken steps in the legislation to which reference is made to assist them as fast and as far as circumstances warrant. The work of developing the resources of the islands will soon begin to give results, and the Filipinos will be encouraged and assisted by all needed legislation to make the best use of the sources of wealth which are so abundant. During the past session the great project of an isthmian canal has been got into shape for the commencement of actual work. The transfer of the property of the French company has been, control of a canal zone has been secured, and a law for its government has been enacted. The commission that has been appointed—on which our State is represented—has now only to formulate a plan of action. Preliminary work in the way of sanitation will be very soon commenced, and in a few months the great enterprise will be well under way. What this means to the Pacific Coast every producer and merchant well understands. It will virtually bring the markets of Europe ten thousand miles nearer those who raise our bulky and cheap products, and the result cannot fail to be stimulating to the business of our farmers, canners, and others who prepare our produce for consumption. In the appropriation bills are found many appropriations in which our agriculturists and horticulturists—especially those of California—are immediately interested. Money appropriated for the use of the Agricultural Department produces a return which grows greater every year, and in which all who have to do with the soil participate. It is perhaps the most immediately useful of all the departments of the government, and comes closer to the people. The study of plant life in FAVORABLE CROP PROSPECTS R. G. Dun's Monthly Review of Traction Conditions for April in Southern California. The month of April brought conditions favorable to Southern California crop prospects. Enough rain has fallen to remove apprehension of suffering of trees and vines and to materialize help irrigation supplies. The land sown barley will make grain. The hay crop, while not heavy, will be abundant for home use. Harvest is already active. The beet growers are planting and factories look for a good cash price, although acreage will be below the average. Lima bean planting has begun, but it is too early to make predictions as to the crop. Deciduous fruit trees are blooming freely. Apple cots give promise of a good average crop. Citrus trees are blooming heavily. Large shipments of early vegetables are being made and the prices turn are unusually good. Los Angeles county will put in about 10,000 acres to beans. Ventura's average age is believed, will be much smaller than last year. The bean market stiff, under small jobbing business. Even in large quantities limas are no offered under $3.75. The market fall will be in shape to absorb an unusually large crop. The orange market was strong during the past month. The expected price advance did not develop, because there was little competition from other orange producing territories and markets absorbed oranges more readily. Shippers are confident that figures for late Valencias and St. Michaels will improve greatly the average for these seasons now come directly from The Congress which has just closed has been characterized by a more careful and business-like consideration of appropriations than usual. This was not due to any fear of Democratic criticism, but the natural result of that conservative spirit which yearly becomes more evident in the Republican party as it is called upon to consider questions of greater and greater importance. That our expenditures are increasing is only another way of saying that our country is increasing in population and business. With growth and prosperity our needs increase, and these must be met with increased appropriations. So the necessity for the exercise of that careful scrutiny which every business man gives to his affairs is becoming yearly more pronounced, and chances for charges of extravagance are becoming fewer. Appropriations authorized by the session just closed aggregate $781,574,-629. Of this sum $83,301,843 was for deficiencies for the current and preceding fiscal years and the sum for application to the sinking fund, the latter being $56,500,000. Thus the amount for the current expenses of the Government for the fiscal year 1904-05 is $698,-272,786. This is well within the estimated revenue for that fiscal year, which is placed at $704,472,060. But it being a well-established fact that the actual expenditures are about 5 percent less than the appropriations, it is probable that there will be a surplus of about $35,000,000, or a total excess of over $40,000,000 in appropriations. Thus all deficiencies are more than likely to be covered by that sum, and a large amount left for the sinking fund. The great departments of the Government submitted to Congress at the beginning of the session estimates calling for $642,502,386. These figures were cut down by Congress to $612,300,966—a reduction of $30,000,000 only. The appropriations in the Indian and Post-office bills exceeded the estimates, the former by $2,000,000 and the latter by about $6,000,000. The army estimates were cut down $7,000,000; District of Columbia, $2,000,000; fortifications, about $5,000,000; legislative, $1,200,000; navy, nearly $5,000,000. The grand total of estimates was $83,794,206; the grand total of appropriations was $781,-574,629—a reduction of $50,000,000. It will be noted that the appropriations for 1905 exceed those of the current year by $28,000,000. This increase is composed of the following items: For the District of Columbia,$2,383,643, which provides for the abolition of grade crossings, a new highway bridge, a filtration plant costing nearly $1,000,000, and a municipal building; fortifications, less than $400,000; Indian service,$1,000,000; legislative,$1,100,000; military academy,$275,000; navy,$16,-100,000; of which $7,000,000 is for new construction;$2,500,000 for new buildings at Naval Academy;$2,463,600 for public works at navy-yards and naval stations; postoffice,$19,199,600; of which $8,0ooo,ooo is for letter-carriers, clerks at sub-stations and rural delivery service. There is also an appropriate bill is found many appropriations in which our agriculturists and horticulturists—especially those of California—are immediately interested. Money appropriated for the use of the Agricultural Department produces a return which grows greater every year, and in which all who have to do with the soil participate. It is perhaps the most immediately useful of all the departments of the government, and comes closer to the people. The study of plant life in experiment stations by the Bureau of Plant Industry, by the Bureau of Soils, etc., has been of inestimable value to our farmers, and its uses become more varied and valuable as knowledge is gained through the experience of trained observers. We have established a seed garden at Chico for the study and development of the best kind of seeds for the agriculturist. We have appropriated money for the study of California vine stocks with a view of securing a vine that will resist the phylloxera and save our existing vineyards, while rendering it possible to plant others. What this means to a land so suited to grape culture, few besides those directly interested realize. The Secretary of Agriculture is also about to take up the scientific study of the sugar beet, which is a source of great profit to the farmer and the foundation of a great growing interest. The variety of beet best suited for the purpose will be ascertained, or new and better varieties will be actually created by scientific methods beyond the reach of the farmer, and he will receive free all the scientific benefits which will accrue. The study of animal life in health and disease is also being prosecuted scientifically,and its results are fully appreciated by those who possess or raise stock. Scientific study is also given to means through which crops may be protected from injury by their many enemies; orchardists are assisted in making the trees more profitable; even the weather is studied with a view of benefiting the farmer through a knowledge of different conditions and their bearing on growing crops. And in connection with this the Interior Department is manifesting great energy in studying the irrigation problems in different states, which is of particular importance to California,and is reclaiming lands that are now barren for lack of water. It is also very active in going to the original sources of our streams, protecting them from destruction by the establishment of forest reserves and national parks. Without such care not many years would elapse before irrigation would be impossible,and regions now fertile would be turned again to desert. Necessary authorization has been given to extend our system of fortifications,these are as necessary to our safety as is our navy,and in time we shall be protected on land by adjuncts to our fleet,their first line of defense against an enemy-for there will be none from the land side.In In the appropriation bills are found many appropriations in which our agriculturists and horticulturists—especially those of California—are immediately interested.

There is also an apparent increase of $8,800,000 in permanent appropriations, but this is on paper practically, most of this sum being for the national note redemption account, and is a simple bookkeeping matter. There is another increase of $2,250,000 in the reclamation fund, which goes for reclamation purposes. There is also an item of $750,000 which represents the increase for the supply of arms to the national guard and militia. The sum of these increases, less the reductions made, gives the net increase for the next fiscal year. It will be noted that the principal items refer to the navy and the postoffice—two branches of the public service which are of the greatest importance to our well being. Investigation for immigrant station authorized, investigation for Oakland harbor authorized, and investigation of condition of landless Indians of California authorized. In addition to the appropriation bills there has been much very important legislation during the past session. The first was that granting reciprocity to Cuba, which was promised by us, and which we were in duty bound to grant so far as it does not interfere with any of our domestic producers. The treaty as arranged is, and will prove to be, of mutual advantage, while at the same time it places our neighboring republic on a sure financial foundation, thus relieving us of the danger of dangerous complications which would have followed if the island had fallen into difficulties. We have also passed laws that will be invaluable to the people of the Philippines in establishing a stable government, which is now only a matter of education and of time. The Philippine people have shown themselves to be tractable, ambitious SEEGAR ESTATE The struggle over the will of the late Mrs. Leta M. Seegar resulted this week in the appointment by Judge West of Mrs. Katie Besser and B. G. Balcom to be guardians of the estate and person of Paul Seegar, incompetent, the widower. This practically carries out the wishes of Mrs. Seegar, as expressed in her will, and involves the denial of the petition of Alfred Leech of Orange, representing the contesting heirs, who wanted other guardians and a redistribution of the property made. Mrs. Seegar left nearly all her property to her children by a former husband, cutting off Mr. Seegar's heirs from a share in what they claimed was community property between Mr. and Mrs. Seegar. We commonly say that the police need points toward the north. The poets tell us how the needle is tried to the pole. Every reader, however, now familiar with the general fact a variation of the compass. On our eastern seaboard and all the way across the Atlantic the north pointing to the compass varies so far to the west that a ship going to Europe and making allowance for this deviation would fly herself making more nearly for the North Cape than for her destination. The "declination," as it is termed in scientific language,varies from one region of the earth to another.In some places it is toward the west,in other toward the east. The pointing of the needle in various regions of the world is shown by men of magnetic maps.Such maps are published by the United States coast survey whose experts make a careful study of the magnetic force all over country.It is found that there is line running nearly north and south through the middle states along where there is no variation of the compass.To the east of it the variation is west to the west of it the east.The most rapid changes in the pointing of the needle are toward the northeast and northwest regions.When we travel to northeastern boundary of Maine,the westerly variation has risen to 20 degrees.Toward the northwest the earlier variation continually increases till in the northern part of the state Washington it amounts to 23 degreesSimon Newcomb in Harper's. PITH AND POINT. Faith defies fate. Duty is always divine. A muzzle is not a cure. The time to boast is when you need to. He who cannot bear humility can wear honor. The best kind of hope is that will lends a hand. An empty dignity is as valuable a hollow dollar. The work of this life writes lease of the next. Mitch your wagon to a star, don't sell your mule.

POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL The second annual catalogue of the California Polytechnic School has reached this office. The school is located at San Luis Obispo and is known as "A secondary school of agriculture, mechanics and domestic science." The school is a state institution established under the act of the legislature of 1901. The government of the school is vested in a board of trustees, consisting of the governor and superintendent of public instruction as ex-officio members, and of five persons appointed by the governor for a term of four years each. "The purpose of the school is to furnish to young people of both sexes mental and manual training in the arts and sciences, including agriculture, mechanics, engineering, business methods, domestic economy and such other branches as will fit the students for the non-professional walks of life." The desire of the board of trustees regarding the school is set forth in the following resolution, adopted in February of this year: "Resolved, That it is the intention of this board, so far as its present membership is concerned, to use every effort to make the California Polytechnic School a useful institution for the young people of California, to the end that it shall ultimately afford them instruction along mechanical lines and become, in every sense of the word, a thorough Polytechnic School. It is the intention of the board to so conduct the school that it may produce educated farmers, stock-raisers, dairymen and orchardists, cultured matrons and homemakers, as well as skilled mechanics, all of whom may be an honor to California and the nation. As the school grows in years we feel confident that its usefulness and popularity will become clearly apparent to the whole state and the Pacific slope. As the legislature meets the demands" FIGURES FROM THE SCHOOL CENSUS County Shows a Gratifying Increase in Number of Children—Anaheim's Increase, Counting Loara, Is 100 Complete returns from the census of school children in Orange county show an increase of 445 school children over last year between the ages of 5 and 17. Santa Ana gains 109, the entire number of school children in that city being 1652. Figuring at the usual ratio of 4½, this would make the present population of Santa Ana 7434. Anaheim loses 16 pupils by the cutting off of Loara district. Combining these two would show a gain of just 100 for Anaheim. A new district, Savanna, was also formed, taking in portions of Centralia and Cypress, and accounts for their apparent loss. Pacific City has made the largest per centage of gain in the county. Of the more important towns Orange makes the best showing. The greatest surprise, however, is at Fullerton with a loss of four. Surely, something must be wrong in the figures, for the splendid growth of Fullerton is apparent on all sides. DISTRICT 1904 1903 Gain Loss Alamitos 59 42 17 ... Allso 12 12 ...

Commonly say that the pole of needle points toward the north tells us how the needle is true pole. Every reader, however, is familiar with the general fact of motion of the compass. On our seaboard and all the way acrossantic the north pointing of the pole varies so far to the west that going to Europe and making no trace for this deviation would find making more nearly for the escape than for her destination. Declination," as it is termed in the language, varies from one re-tecting the earth to another. In some it is toward the west, in others it is toward the east. PROHIBITIONISTS The prohibition state convention for the election of delegates to the national prohibition convention at Indianapolis has been called to meet in Hamilton hall, Oakland, on May 26, at 10 a.m. It was the original intention of the state committee to plan for an informal convention comprising only enough delegates necessary to transact the little business that has to be done at this time, but the attendance and interest in the coming meeting is growing so rapidly that special preparations are now being made by the local committee for a big time. This speaks well for the constant agitation and organization that has been carried on during the past two years. Speakers have been kept constantly in the field, and the prohibition papers have been greatly increased in circulation. In addition to this there are now over 75 local prohibition alliances in the state which keep up local agitation and help to provide financial support for the general work. The leading prohibition speakers are to be in attendance at Oakland, including the Rev. J.W.Webb of Fresno, Rev.L.M.Ewing of Ukiah, Rev.T.P.Reed of Gridley, Rev.C.J.Hall and wife of Los Angeles, Major Calderwood, Rev.Flora T.Thompson, Rev.Joseph Ellison of Willows, Mrs.Mae Guthrie Tongier and many workers of the rank and file. Rev.T.J.Bauder, presiding elder of the United Brethren church will conduct the music of the convention. In the evening an address is to be given by Prof.Samuel Dickie, president of Albion college, Mich. Prof.Dickie was formerly the national chairman, and is acknowledged to be a speaker of great force and eloquence. A one fare rate has been secured on the railroads, and the local committees are now at work on the local arrangements.

Chapman, chairman of the congressional executive committee has promised his aid to bring the convention to this county, and favorable replies are looked for from other members who will have the selection of a place in charge.
