Drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c. size. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y. The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, relieving immediately the painful inflammation. With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever. STATE'S IRRIGATION STATISTICS No Other Commonwealth Produces Such a Variety of Crops as Countries of Southern California. The United States Census Bureau has given out the following preliminary statement concerning irrigation in California in 1902: California, the second largest state in the union, has a land surface of 99,827,200 acres, of which a little more than 1.7 per cent was irrigated in 1902. Its coastwise position, length, width and variety and extremes of elevation combine to give it climatic conditions peculiarly its own. Of these, that condition of a wet season during the winter months and a dry season during the summer months has more to do with the need of irrigation than any other. No other state produces such a variety of crops and in no other state have agricultural lands, as such, reached the selling price of the semitropical fruit orchards of Southern California. On nearly all of the lands that are irrigated some crops will grow in ordinary seasons without the artificial application of water. The more valuable crops, however, usually require irrigation, and with it the yield of all crops is greatly increased. Except the arid southeastern portion and the humid northwestern portion, California lies in the semi-arid strip west of the distinctively arid region of the United States, and the annual precipitation is sufficient, were the wet and dry seasons reversed, to render irrigation unnecessary in more than the southern half of the state. As it is, there is no county where irrigation is not practiced. The principal irrigation acres, representing 6,644 farms, from wells. The construction cost of the 2,419 steam-systems, including 6,831 miles of main canals and ditches, was $18,280,560, an average of $11.24 per irrigated acre; the 304 spring-systems, with 179 miles of main canals and ditches, cost $701,504, or $56 per irrigated acre; while the 3,294 well-systems represented a construction outlay of $5,390,093, an average of $32.81 for each acre irrigated. This report shows that the number of acres irrigated from wells increased from 152,506 acres in 1899 to 164,283 acres in 1902, while the construction cost of the well systems for the latter year was $5,390,093, or $936,505 less than that of the former. This apparent decrease is attributable to the fact that in the report of 1899 the cost of plants that pumped water from streams was included in the cost of well-systems. DRAINAGE BASINS The greater part of California lies west of the Sierra Nevada mountains and is drained by streams entering the Pacific ocean within the state boundary. A small area in the southeastern corner is drained by the Colorado, and a narrow strip along the eastern border belongs to the great interior basin. For purposes of comparison the state is divided into eight subdrainage basins, as follows: San Joaquin river and tributaries, Pacific ocean streams below San Francisco bay, Sacramento river and tributaries, Pacific ocean streams above San Francisco bay, other San Francisco bay streams, independent streams in Southern California, independent streams in Northern California, and Colorado river. Of these divisions the streams, wells and springs within the drainage basin of the San Joaquin river supply more than half of the irrigated area of the state, while the total cost of construction of the irrigation systems therein was 38.3 per cent of that of the entire northern portion of the state. River, its principal headwater turkey, drains Goose lake in the northeastern corner of the state. The stream traverses the northern portion of the great central valley in a gentle southerly direction and discharges San Francisco bay through Suisun San Pablo bays. Its important tributaries are Feather, Pitt and American rivers, all entering from the east. California Polytechnic School Special Correspondence. SAN LUIS OBISPO, May 28. Alumni Association of the San Luis Obispo High School have agreed to give loving cup to the winner of at least two of a series of three annual debates to be contested between the High School and the Polytechnic School. The first debate was held recently resulted in a victory for the Polytechnic School. The question was "Is solved that the United States is uninclusive of Chinese from this general territory?" The affirmative question was supported on behalf of the High School by Misses Harke Darke and Kathryn Stewart and Mann Mehlman. The negative support for the Polytechnic School by Messrs. Floyd Tout of Dime Charles Emmert of Arroyo Grande George Coonradt of Lotus, El Doe Co. The judges were Rev. Harry Lard. Their decision was unanimous that the Polytechnic School had for the negative. The Polytechnic team was praised for the large amount of hard work which they had evidenced put upon the debate. An important event in the history of the school occurred on Tuesday when a farmers' institute and barn picnic was held upon the Polytechnic School grounds. Fully 250 people were present—the most of them being from the region round about San Obispo. Addresses were given by W. Clark. President of the local B... In ordinary seasons without the artificial application of water. The more valuable crops, however, usually require irrigation, and with it the yield of all crops is greatly increased. Except the arid southeastern portion and the humid northwestern portion, California lies in the semi-arid strip west of the distinctively arid region of the United States, and the annual precipitation is sufficient, were the wet and dry seasons reversed, to render irrigation unnecessary in more than the southern half of the state. As it is, there is no county where irrigation is not practiced. The principal irrigation districts, however, are in the San Joaquin valley and southern portions of the state. The two mountain systems, the Sierra Nevada or Snowy Range along the eastern boundary, and the Coast Range near and parallel to the coast, are the prominent topographic features of California. These mountain systems are joined by transverse ranges in the north and in the south, between which extremes they swing wide apart and form the great central valley of California drained by the rivers Sacramento and San Joaquin. The soil is very fertile, and many extensive areas are peculiarly adapted to various high priced products, particularly citrus and deciduous fruits. Irrigation has for this reason reached its highest stage of development in California, especially in the southern portion. In the number of irrigated farms and the total construction cost of irrigation systems, California holds first rank; in total area irrigated it is second only to Colorado. WATER SUPPLY The annual precipitation varies from 23.5 inches for San Francisco, and far greater in the extreme northwest, to 14.6 inches for Los Angeles and 10 inches for San Diego. For six months after the first of May rain is practically unknown, except showers in the high mountain regions. In 1902 the average precipitation was 1.6 inches above the normal. Irrigation water was plentiful during the early part of the growing season, but, as usual, there was a scarcity during July, August and September. With the exception of a few of the larger rivers, the greatest mean monthly discharge of the streams is for the late fall, winter and early spring months, a natural result of the ordering of the wet and dry seasons. Many streams are dry during the period when irrigation is most needed, and great reservoirs have been built to impound the winter and spring floods and augment the ordinary water supply. There are throughout the state a number of rivers of large volume whose waters are not completely utilized. Most of these have their sources high in the mountains, the slopes of which have been included within the various forest reserves. Reservoirs can be constructed on many of these and the waters held for the reclamation of large tracts of arid lands. While the rapid development of the country creates each year a demand for more water, this requirement has been met, to a insula as follows: San Joaquin river and tributaries, Pacific ocean streams below San Francisco bay, Sacramento river and tributaries, Pacific ocean streams above San Francisco bay, other San Francisco bay streams, independent streams in Southern California, independent streams in Northern California, and Colorado river. Of these divisions streams, wells and springs within the drainage basin of the San Joaquin river supply more than half of the irrigated area of the state, while the total cost of construction of the irrigation systems therein was 38.3 per cent of that of the entire state. SAN JOAQUIN RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN San Joaquin river and tributaries drain the southern half of the great central valley of California. The main stream rises in the Sierra Nevada mountains on the south slope of Mt. Lyell, flows southwesterly to the valley trough, where it turns northwesterly, entering Sacramento river a few miles above Suisun bay. Several rivers of considerable importance, the largest of which are Kern, King and Kaweah, have their sources in the Sierra Nevada mountains farther south and drain the higher portion of the valley. They discharge their waters into several shallow lakes, including lakes Kern, Buena Vista and Tulare, but during the excessively high stages of water the overflow reaches the San Joaquin. The Merced, Tuolumne, Stanislaus, Calaveras and Mokelumne rivers are important tributaries of the San Joaquin in the lower part of the valley. There are no large tributaries from the west. The small streams issuing from the eastern slopes of the Coast Range are intermittent and seldom reach the main streams. The San Joaquin and its eastern tributaries are fed by the melting snow and ice in the high mountains, and consequently furnish a better supply and at a more opportune time than any other streams in the state. In 1902 water from all sources in this drainage basin was utilized through 1,064 systems to irrigate 932,931 acres belonging to 9,717 farms. The irrigation works and 2,473 miles of main canals and ditches cost $9,103,242, an average of $9.76 per irrigated acre. Thirty-five systems diverted water from the main stream to 906 farms. The construction outlay for these irrigation systems, including 219 miles of main canals and ditches, was $1,504,-238, or $11.60 for each of the 129,647 acres irrigated. Of the tributaries King river and its tributaries irrigated 596,091 acres, representing 6,007 farms. The 164 systems with an aggregate of 1,334 miles of main canals and ditches cost $2,976,688, or $4.99 per irrigated acre. DRAINAGE BASINS OF PACIFIC OCEAN STREAMS BELOW SAN FRANCISCO BAY. That portion of California lying south of San Francisco bay and west of the Coast Range of mountains is drained by several streams, the largest of which is the Salinas river, a stream about 125 miles as follows: San Joaquin river and tributaries, Pacific ocean streams below San Francisco bay, Sacramento river and tributaries, Pacific ocean streams above San Francisco bay, other San Francisco bay streams, independent streams in Southern California, independent streams in Northern California, and Colorado river. Of these divisions streams, wells and springs within the drainage basin of the San Joaquin river supply more than half of the irrigated area of the state, while the total cost of construction of the irrigation systems therein was 38.3 per cent of that of the entire state.

Fully 250 persons were present—the most of them being from the region round about San Jose Obispo. Addresses were given by W. Clark President of local Boford Trade Prof. E.J.Wickson officiating University of California Hon. S.Smith of Bakersfield,and Prof. H.Roberts of Cornell University.A table was set in the dormitory where guests spread their lunches on this campus during domestic science service delicious coffee. At this annual meeting of The Board Of Trustees,May 23rd，Prof.I.P.Certzof Cornell University was elected a special lecturer on horses and livestock implements. Prof.Roberts is expected to spend a month of each year on this school. The students are constructing poultry house as part of their institution in carpentry. When this is completed they will begin work on an working shop 40x100 feet which may be ready for use in September. School closes June 24 and opens its second year Sept. 15. Commerce Growing The value of the commerce on United States and non-contiguous territory shows a slight increase in present year as compared with last year. For this full fiscal year it seems likely to aggregate $100,000,000. The same nine months ending with March，1904，total of merchandise is $66，781，218，和the domestic received from Alaska $5，806，501 resulting a total of $72，587，719。The total merchandise about $2，000，000 that for this period last year in which total was $64，843，095.OF this gross total merchandise with an aggregate of $13，234 miles of main canals and ditches cost $2，976，688，或 $4．99 per irrigated acre.

There are throughout the state a number of rivers of large volume whose waters are not completely utilized. Most of these have their sources high in the mountains, the slopes of which have been included within the various forest reserves. Reservoirs can be constructed on many of these and the waters held for the reclamation of large tracts of arid lands. While the rapid development of the country creates each year a demand for more water, this requirement has been met, to a large degree, by the continued improvement of the irrigation systems, supplemented by a constantly increasing number of private pumping plants. Although many of the small streams sink beneath the surface at a short distance from the mountain source, there is an underflow of considerable volume which, when tapped, gives flowing wells or wells of large supply. In some instances this underflow is secured by drying tunnels into the sides of hills and mountains to penetrate the water-bearing gravel. The limited supply of water has given it a high value and compelled the strictest economy in its use. Many systems of pipe lines and cement-lined ditches have been installed to avoid loss by evaporation and seepage. GENERAL STATISTICS Irrigation in California has made remarkable progress since 1899. In 1902 the area irrigated from all sources of water supply aggregated 1,708,720 acres, an increase of 262,848 acres, or 18.2 per cent since 1899. This is an average increase of 87,616 acres per year, while the average increase per year for the decade 1889-99 was only 44,164 acres. In 1902 there were in operation 6,017 systems with an aggregate of 7,010 miles of main canals and ditches. The total construction cost of which was $23,172,157, or $13,91 for each acre irrigated irrigation was reported on 30,404 farms. The increase in number of irrigated farms is 18.7 per cent since 1899, and in total cost of construction 23.9 per cent. Of the total irrigated area, 1,526,500 acres belonging to 23,383 farms were watered from streams; 17,928 acres on 377 farms from springs, and 164,283 acres irrigated. Of the tributaries King river and its tributaries irrigated 596,091 acres, representing 6,007 farms. The 164 systems with an aggregate of 1,334 miles of main canals and ditches cost $2,976,688, or $4.99 per irrigated acre. DRAINAGE BASINS OF PACIFIC OCEAN STREAMS BELOW SAN FRANCISCO BAY. That portion of California lying south of San Francisco bay and west of the Coast Range of mountains is drained by several streams, the largest of which is the Salinas river, a stream about 125 miles in length. Among those of most importance for irrigation purposes are Santa Ana, San Gabriel, Santa Clara and Pajaro rivers. Nearly 40 per cent of the irrigated area in this division was supplied from wells. The average number of acres per farm in this division is 22.7, which is less than that of any other division. This indicates the intensive character of the agricultural operations, since the semi-tropical fruit orchards have here reached their highest development. In 1902 there were 279,519 acres belonging to 12,317 farms irrigated from streams, springs and wells in this part of the state. The I,943 systems employed had 774 miles of main canals and ditches and represented a construction outlay of $9,509,767, an average of $34.02 per irrigated acre. Water from wells was utilized to irrigate 111,179 acres on 4,687 farms. The I,525 well-systems cost $4,348,325, or $39.11 for each acre irrigated. Santa Ana river and tributaries supplied 55 systems and irrigated 70,492 acres belonging to 3,976 farms. The 266 miles of main canals and ditches and other irrigation works represented a construction cost of $1,999,531, an average of $27.23 per irrigated acre. San Gabriel river and tributaries were utilized through 29 systems to irrigate 33,766 acres on 1,581 farms. The total construction cost of the 91 miles of main canals and ditches and other irrigation works was $772,597, an average of $22.88 per irrigated acre. SACRAMENTO RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN The Sacramento, the largest river of California, derives its water supply largely from Mt. Shasta and the surrounding high ranges in the extreme acres irrigated. Of the tributaries King river and its tributaries irrigated 596,091 acres, representing 6,007 farms.

NUMBER 32 LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Insurance Rates Raised Because the Fullerton Trustees refused to strike from a newly adopted ordinance which imposes a license of $5 a year on each insurance company doing business in that town, the companies with headquarters in Los Angeles have increased the insurance rate 10 cents on $100. The leading policy holders throughout the section are wrought up over the increase, and a large majority of them state that they will pull out of the combine and go into other companies, as they think the small tax imposed just, considering the fact that the insurance companies take many thousand dollars out of Fullerton annually in premiums. Governor's Reply Lafayette Gill, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of River-side county, is in receipt of a communication from Governor Pardee in reference to the vacancy on the Board of Supervisors, from which he extracts some hope and confidence in the appointment of a Democrat. The governor's letter is as follows: Lafayette Gill, Chairman Democratic Central Committee, Riverside, Cal. Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of the resolution passed by your Committee on May 21st with reference to the vacancy on the Board of Supervisors of Riverside County. Very truly yours, GEORGE C. PARDEE. Boys Drowned In Reservoir Ray and Gerald Powell, aged eight and ten years, sons of W. D. Powell of Corona, were drowned in Pedley's reservoir a mile northeast of that town a few days ago. Four little boys were swimming in the reservoir and while which is to meet in Cleveland, Ohio in September. Bishop Horn was chosen as alternate. Pastors were assigned as follows by Bishop Bowman: San Francisco district, San Francisco station, F. W. Fischer; San Francisco mission, W. H. Althouse; Napa, H. W. Lueckenmyer; Sacramento, F. T.

Vernon Water Company bringing action against the Fontana Development Company to enjoin the latter from changing the point of delivery of 50 inches of water in Lytle creek from the Campbell box to the Lord gate, the latter point being at a much lower altitude than the former. The issues involved in the suit are similar to those which confront the action soon to be instituted against the same defendant corporation by the city of San Bernardino. The defendant corporation bases its right to change the point of delivery and also of substituting Lytle creek water for pumped, upon an agreement entered into years ago between John L. Campbell and the Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company, predecessors in interest of the Fontana Development Company. The latter corporation desires to give San Bernardino and the Mt. Vernon Water Company pumped water instead of Lytle creek water. The agreement giving the right for substitution, in order to exercise which delivery must be made from Lord gate, stipulates that the substituted water must be equal in quality and purity to the Lytle creek water, and the plaintiffs allege that The judges were Rev. Harry Hill. Their decision was unanimous the Polytechnic School had won the negative. The Polytechnic was praised for the large amount of work which they had evidently done on the debate. Important event in the history of school occurred on Tuesday last week at farmers' institute and basket grounds. Fully 250 people present—the most of them being the region round about San Luis Obispo. Addresses were given by E. Park, President of the local Board of Bakersfield, and Prof. E. J. Wickson of the University of California, Hon. S. C. Poeffel of Cornell University. A long was set in the dormitory where guests spread their lunches and mass in domestic science served us coffee. The annual meeting of the Board of Steees, May 23rd, Prof. I. P. Roberts-Cornell University was elected special lecturer on horses and farm animals. Prof. Roberts is expected to spend a month of each year at school. Students are constructing a new house as part of their instructional carpentry. When this is completed they will begin work on an iron shop 40x100 feet which must be ready for use in September. School closes June 24 and opens for another year Sept. 15. Commerce Growing Value of the commerce of the United States and non-contiguous territories shows a slight increase in the last year, as compared with last year. For the full fiscal year it seems to aggregate $100,000,000. For some nine months ending with March, 1904, the total of merchandise $781,218, and the domestic gold used from Alaska $5,806,501 make up total of $72,587,719. The total of landsease $66,781,218, exceeds by $2,000,000 that for the corresponde period last year in which the was $64,843,095. Of this grand of commerce with the non-contiguous territory of the United States shipments thereto aggregate $25 million in value, and the shipments those territories to the United aggregate $40,974,597. Comments to the Hawaiian Islands nine months ending with March were valued at $9,072,680 against 499 last year. Porto Rico shipwere $8,360,883 in valu against 844 last year; merchandise re-against $6,531,574; against $6,944,441 preceding year. To the Philippine shipments in the nine months ending with March, 1904, were $3,651,-1003,692 last year, and the merise received from the islands valued at $9,863,183, compared with 1972 in the same months of last year. To Guam and Tutuila, the cents were $123,870 in value, but $58,957 in the corresponding cents of last year. GEORGE C. PARDEE. Boys Drowned In Reservoir Ray and Gerald Powell, aged eight and ten years, sons of W. D. Powell of Corona, were drowned in Pedley's reservoir a mile northeast of that town a few days ago. Four little boys were swimming in the reservoir and while playing on an improvised raft fell into the water. Two of them reached the bank, the others losing their lives. The others notified a teamster of the occurrence, but the man paid no particular attention, thinking it was a joke. The boys then returned to Corona so badly frightened that they said nothing about the matter. As two of Pedley's men were on their way to town in the evening they went to the reservoir to see if there was any truth in the boys' story. They discovered the little fells' clothing on the bank and after a short search recovered the bodies. Bard is Willing Senator Thomas R. Bard has returned from Washington. He expresses himself as highly pleased with the outlook for Republican success in the coming presidential campaign; he belives President Roosevelt will have no opposition for nomination to succeed himself and that he will be the unanimous choice of the Republican convention. When asked whether he would be a candidate for re-election as United States Senator from California, Mr. Bard said: "I am not seeking re-election and I am not an active candidate. I believe I have made that plain before, but if the people of this state desire that I should serve them another term in Washington I would accept with pleasure and I would consider it a high honor to receive again the confidence and endorsement of the people of California. But I am not making an active campaign nor asking my friends to do so. While my stand may be an impracticable one, there is a way in which the people can express themselves." Abducted Her Daughter Mrs. Ella B. Allen of Orange, swore to a complaint in Justice Smithwick's court at Santa Ana charging James Hester with abducting and enticing away her daughter Mary. Hester is 30 years old and lives near Anaheim, and the girl, according to Mrs. Allen, is 15 years old. For about a year Hester has been paying attention to the girl with Mrs. Allen's knowledge and consent. Tuesday she alleged abductor appeared at the Allen home and went away with the girl ostensibly for a little pleasure excursion, but they failed to return to the maternal roof. Mrs. Allen believes they have secured a marriage license in another county under false repre- Aftiens a Public Charge New York state is supporting nearly ten thousand aliens in the various and charitable institutions of commonwealth. This fact has developed by an inquiry that the missioner-general of immigration being for the purpose of ascertainment proportion of the occupants public hospitals, asylums and retreats is made up of aliens currently arrived in the United States. progress of the investigation ear has convinced Commissioner general Sargent that congress could afford to draw the lines a little in excluding aliens who promote become public burdens. He has that a goodly portion of the occits of the penal and charitable institutions throughout the country are inmers, who have only recently held in the United States. The shortage of aliens in these institutes naturally larger in the big cities and in the coast states. New probably has a larger burden of land to carry than any other state. To the fact that New York city is the great port of entry for immigrants, the total number of aliens confined to state of New York at present 143, of whom 2193 are in penal institutions. Of this number, nearly half or 1090, are located in New York City. There are 6148 insane in various asylums of the state, of them charged against the inmates of New York City, and 1924 various other parts of the state. In homes, almhouses and similar institutions, there are 2901 aliens, and hospitals there are 1136. German Evangelists The annual State Conference of the German Evangelical Association closed a three-days' session at Santa Ana on Monday. At this forenoon's session Rev. F. C. Harder of the Oregon conference was received into the California conference as an itinerant elder. A vote was taken upon the recommendation of the General Conference that the time limit of ministers be changed from four to five years. The recommendation was voted down, Rev. Alt-house and Rev. C. Gruen, who were elected presiding elders at the sesson of Saturday afternoon, were assigned to the northern and southern districts, respectively. Rev. Gruen is a resident of Santa Ana. Rev. C.
