RELIABLE reports in circulation are to the effect that three and possibly four brick blocks will be in course of erection on Center street in the near future. One of these is a two-story building to be erected by the Odd Fellows' lodge, which has made an offer to purchase S. S. Federman's seventy-five-foot-front lot on Center street at the corner of Claudina. Mr. Federman some days ago stated he had received two offers for the lot, one from the Odd Fellows and another from a syndicate desirous of erecting a brick hotel. He added that in all probability one of these offers, presumably that of the Odd Fellows, would be accepted by him. Another block is that to be erected by N. Hart on his Center street property, adjoining the Federman lot on the west. These two buildings will have a frontage of 150 feet, and will make one of the finest rows of stores in town. Two other brick blocks are in contemplation on Center street, work upon which will probably be under way by spring. In addition to these are the fifteen modern cottages to be erected by the syndicate which recently purchased the Del Campo property. There are also a number of other residences in course of erection and others in contemplation. Altogether building operations are unusually brisk, and probably during the present year the town will take on a larger growth than at any previous time in its history. Besides this expansion of the city's building enterprises several miles of cement sidewalk and curbing have been laid during the past six months, and the work is still in progress. This sidewalk construction, and the cement work done by property-owners about their residences, totals up considerably in excess of $20,000. This promised spurt in building operations, including the remodeling of the new First National bank at a cost of $24,000, means the expenditure for improvements contemplated here the approaching spring and summer, well up toward the $100,000 mark. SEVEN indictments against Tom Hays and the grand jury which made its report this week to Judge N. Smith of Los Angeles, who sat for Judge Noves. Hays indictments involve operations in the Orchard Growers' bank and Salt Lake railway deals. The indictments are the same that have been previous court and allege the embezzlement of the sums owed $000, $3000, $3000 and $5000, the frauds taking place October and August, 1902. The three Salt Lake indictments are in connection with Salt Lake road affairs and allege confederacy with H. T. Hay obtaining money by false pretenses. It is understood that the indictments do not expressly stipulate Col. Diss obtained money through fraudulent representations of his own but that he at least had guilty edge of the Hays frauds and conspired with Hay defraud the Salt Lake railroad. A bill to provide a State revenue tax on the traffic in California has been introduced in the nature by Senator Hahn of Pasadena. It has been up after a long and thorough study of the subject has been practically approved by Gov. Pardee, intention of the framer of the bill is not in any way interfere with, or attempt to reform, the liquor buildup in California, but the measure is a revenue bill put simple, and is one of the several schemes decided whereby it is proposed to increase the State's many millions of dollars. The bill, in brief, proclaims every person who engages in the liquor business either as distiller, brewer, vinter, manufacturer, chandler distributor or seller, or who offers to sell foreign mestic distilled spirits. wines or malt liquors shall be a special license tax semi-annually, according to following schedule: Distillers, vinters, brewers, distillers and manufacturers; $150 semi-annually; whiskey dealers; $100 semi-annually; retail liquor or $50 semi-annually. It is estimated the measure become law, will net the State $1,000,000 of revenue. Three hundred thousand acres of land lying on the foothills in Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties thrown open to entry by settlers on Tuesday occurred a big rush at the United States land office Visalia of those desiring to file homestead entries land in question was open for entry last September January 31 was fixed as the day when entries were made. The belt is from eight to eighteen nautical miles. Besides this expansion of the city's building enterprises several miles of cement sidewalk and curbing have been laid during the past six months, and the work is still in progress. This sidewalk construction, and the cement work done by property-owners about their residences, totals up considerably in excess of $20,000. This promised spurt in building operations, including the remodeling of the new First National bank at a cost of $24,000, means the expenditure for improvements contemplated here the approaching spring and summer, well up toward the $100,000 mark. A contract was signed on Tuesday between the First National bank of this city and Graham & Eaton of Los Angeles for remodeling the bank's building at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Work will begin immediately, and the cost of the alterations, vaults, safe-deposit boxes and furniture will be $25,000. The building when completed will be one of the handsomest banking institutions in Southern California. Vice President Hartung states that all the work in connection with the new structure will be done by local mechanics. At Sacramento on Monday four members of the Senate were charged with blackmail and seeking brides in an affidavit made before the Senate. The four members are Bunkers, French, Emmons and Wright. The affidavit was sworn to by William Corbin, secretary and general manager of the Continental building and loan association of San Francisco, who had been hauled before the Senate to show cause why Corbin should not be punished for contempt for his failure to answer the summons of the Senate committee on commissions and retrenchment when an investigation of his association was under way. Mr. Eaton of the firm of Graham & Eaton of Los Angeles, who secured the contract for the new First National bank building, was in town on Tuesday and said work on the new block would begin immediately. Construction of the new brick block to be occupied by Miller's hardware store will be first taken up. This building will adjoin the bank building on the south. Work on remodeling the corner building will be taken up as soon as practicable. When completed the new bank building will be one of the handsomest in Southern California. It will be ready for occupancy some time during the coming summer. The hope that the first accounts of damage to fruit and vegetable crops in Florida by last week's freeze in that State might be modified by the correspondents of the commission dealers has been extinguished. A prominent commission firm, which owns numerous orange groves and cultivates vegetables in the frost-visited territory, said that not only were the oranges on the trees frozen as hard as stones, but that fruit in the packing-houses was also frozen, which latter was the first instance of the kind. In response to a question as to the damage as compared with that in the State in 1896, the reply was that it seems nearly as bad. At that time many orange groves were killed to the ground and the yield of fruit reduced from six Three hundred thousand acres of land lying on the foothills in Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties thrown open to entry by settlers on Tuesday. Occurred a big rush at the United States land office in Visalia of those desiring to file homestead entries land in question was open for entry last September January 31 was fixed as the day when entries came into make. The belt is from eight to eighteen m width. Land more valuable for its timber or stock for agricultural purposes is scheduled in tract acres or less at the rate of $2 50 an acre. How entries, after fourteen months' residence, may be muted, or land paid for at the rate of $1 25 or $1 acre. Registrar Stewart said that all persons to file should be at the land office in Visalia at Tuesday morning. The first applicant was given preference. The United States Supreme Court on Monday derided a decision adverse to Swift & Co. and companies in the beef trust in their appeal injunction in the Federal Court of the Northern trict of Illinois, restraining illegal combination restrict competition in the purchase of livestock; the sale of dressed beef. The sweeping injury affirmed with certain minor modifications to conform to the bill of the attorney general. Cision is unanimous. Justice Holmes delivered decision. He admitted that some of the charges specific than is desirable, but said that he had been shown to prove the continuous offer of offenses are of such a nature as to justify ceedings. All Kansas corporations, including the beef harvester combine, the Standard Oil company will be investigated as a result of a resolution in the Kansas legislature. It is aimed against the packing companies doing business in Kansas City, but takes all in. According to language of the resolution, the attorney-general State is ordered to make a complete investigator corporations. If, after the investigation, he they are going ahead under a violation of the anti-trust statute, he is instructed to immediate proceedings against them in the United States. The investigation of the Standard Oil company sidered particularly timely, on account of their in Kansas oil fields against the action of the company in reducing the price of Kansas oil is a bill before the legislature for the establishment a State refinery. It is understood that this will held up until the attorney-general has had time his inquiry into the Standard's affairs. If he company is violating the law, and can make a against it, the legislative matter will probably ped, and the whole matter of Kansas oil discribably threshed out in the courts. Florida has suffered another bad freeze of crop, estimates of the extent of the damage high as $2,000,000. During the freeze of 1894 destroyed the orange trees of Florida, the and vegetable crops in Florida by last week's froze in that State might be modified by the correspondents of the commission dealers has been extinguished. A prominent commission firm, which owns numerous orange groves and cultivates vegetables in the frost-visited territory, said that not only were the oranges on the trees frozen as hard as stones, but that fruit in the packing-houses was also frozen, which latter was the first instance of the kind. In response to a question as to the damage as compared with that in the State in 1896, the reply was that it seems nearly as bad. At that time many orange groves were killed to the ground and the yield of fruit reduced from six million boxes in that year to a quarter of a million in 1897. The matter of damage to the trees cannot be determined immediately and it will be several weeks before it is settled. As to the fate of the vegetable crops in the frosted area, the firm referred to said that "they are practically annihilated." The financial loss is very heavy. An irrigator who was not present at Saturday's annual meeting of irrigators points out the danger of going into pumping-plant projects as was there advocated. He maintains the courts would not permit the water company to pump water at a point several miles up the river and run it down into the valley below, holding that the Supreme Court's decision in the Temescal case at Corona last year covers the case. It would seem that the pumping-plant project advocated by some of the members of the water board should be carefully considered from all viewpoints before committing the company to a policy which might be harmful in the end. Postmaster Littlefield has received a letter from John L. Lecroq of Hanford, Cal., asking information concerning the whereabouts of S. S. Wood, who taught school here in 1886. Should any of our readers have knowledge of the whereabouts of Mr. Wood, a favor will be conferred by notifying Mr. Littlefield of that fact. A bill has been introduced in the State legislature by Senator Muenter of San Joaquin providing for the levying of a tax of not less than 2 nor more than 3 cents on each $100 of taxable property for the purpose of assisting chambers of commerce and boards of trade that are organized by subscription. Santa Ana has sold $100,000 of water bonds, running forty years and bearing 5 per cent interest, to N. W. Harris of Pasadena at par, accrued interest and $9011 premium. The sale is one of the best in the history of the county. Florida has suffered another bad freeze of crop, estimates of the extent of the damage high as $2,000,000. During the freeze of 1894 destroyed the orange trees of Florida, the tree did not descend to as low a degree as it has cold wave, but this time the trees, in growth eral condition, have been dormant, and are unhurt. However, nursery stock has suffered cent. The greatest loss is to the oranges in River section, where the fruit was being held prices. This fruit has been killed, and the growers in that part of the State is great. Levi Mann finds the alley running north of house is ten feet further north, according to Gard's survey for the Olive-street sidewalk, that erected his barn in rear of his contemplated on Hedwig street. The new alley line cuts half and runs close up to the residence on O'really purchased by F. Baum from Mrs. The fence on the south side of the latter's out several feet in the alley. New complications between Great Britain andisia are feared on account of the attack on Consul and Vice Consul at Warsaw on night. Coming on the heels of the placards on the police at Moscow charging Great Britain citing the revolution in Russia, the Warsaw is likely to arouse an outburst in Great Britain may again strain relations between the two. On Monday the Supreme Court of the United States denied the application of Machen, Lorenz for a writ of certiorari in the case against the ing conspiracy to defraud the government with the postoffice department irregular effect is to leave standing the decision of the appeals of the district of Columbia finding guilty as charged. Machen, Lorenz and three were sentenced to two years' imprisonment pay a fine of $10,000 each. Against Tom Hays and three of the record of the Riverside counties report this week to Judge B.

It is understood not expressly stipulate that pay through fraudulent represent that he at least had guilty knowl-lands and conspired with Hays to railroad. State revenue tax on the liquor has been introduced in the legislature of Pasadena. It has been drawn through study of the subject, and approved by Gov. Pardee. The bill of the bill is not in any way to adapt to reform, the liquor business measure is a revenue bill pure and the several schemes decided upon to increase the State's revenue years. The bill, in brief, provides engagements in the liquor business over, winter, manufacturer, chemist, who offers to sell foreign or domestic wines or malt liquors, shall pay semi-annually, according to the foli-illustrations, vinters, brewers, distributors, $150 semi-annually; wholesale semi-annually; retail liquor dealers, is estimated the measure, if it is the State $1,000,000 of revenue. Husband acres of land lying along Tulare and Kern counties were surveyed by settlers on Tuesday. There is the United States land office at being to file homestead entries. The open for entry last September, and was the day when entries could be from eight to eighteen miles in distance for its timber or stone than SQUARE MILE HOMESTEAD BILLS Great Future For the West Depicted by Congressman Mondell. Whether 640 acres as a homestead shall take the place of 160 acres is a question which is being discussed before the public lands committees of the senate and house. Statements have been made showing that a square mile is not too much to allow a man in certain states of the west and that 160 acres is too little. An interesting argument was made Friday before the house committee by Representative Mondell of Wyoming, chairman of the house irrigation committee, in which he took decided ground against any hasty legislation on this subject. "Congress passed a law on this question last session including the land of western Nebraska," he said, "with the understanding that it would be in the nature of an experiment. After a fair trial there, and a careful investigation of its results, it may be wise—may be wise I say—to enact similar legislation for other limited localities; but to forthwith apply the plan to great areas of the west at this time would be a dangerous thing. The Nebraska law has been in no sense a demonstration as yet." Mr. Mondell stated that he had made four or five long railroad trips throughout this part of Nebraska and he had observed no indication of settlement under this law. He saw no new houses nor no evidence of increased population. He admitted that there are vast areas of the west which can eventually be classified as grazing lands solely, irredeemable beyond any process of irrigation, better farming methods or through the introduction of new arid land crops, "but," he said, "we are in no condition at this time and will not be for many years, to intelligently classify all those lands.

There is a great advance being made on the desert today, by which newly discovered crops and methods of culture are constantly making productive and will reclaim millions of acres which a few years ago were supposed to be absolutely unfit for crop growing. It would be a serious mistake to condemn any of these lands which will, as agricultural science progresses more and more, become suitable for homes, to indefinite stock grazing." As an illustration, he stated that in his own county of Weston, lying immediately west of the South Dakota line, some 12 years ago a start was made by himself and friends to grow grain without irrigation. These "agricultural" operations were looked upon by the cow-boys as a great joke. The section was a cow country, and dry land farming. Well there was not even a question that it would succeed. Now a quarter of a million bushels of grain and 25,000 bushels of vegetables are produced annually—wheat yielding from 18 to 25 bushels per acre—and in Crook county to the north, and also west of the South Dakota line the crop production without irrigation is much more. In the northern half of Weston county, twelve years ago an almost unbroken range, there is now an average of between two and three farms on every square mile. "This," he said, "shows the advance we have made in twelve years. Why have we any reason to believe that we will not make as great an additional advance in the coming twelve years and bring lands under cultivation which are now looked upon as worthless for farming?

To eat pate de fols gras is luxury, but to prepare the delicacy for the table is prolonged torture—for the goose. The Humanitarian league of England has issued a pamphlet on the subject. "We behold," says an eyewitness, "innumerable geese in this torture chamber, bound fast to the table. They lie on their backs as if crucified. We watched how the women pressed some new victims against the tables so that the hinder parts should hang over the edge." Two months of terture for the goose are considered necessary before its liver is sufficiently diseased to be marketable. The fowls are fed to repletion with salted malze, and by this means the liver is increased to the abnormal weight of two or even three pounds.

Every favor received and clivility shown deserves to be recognized, and the smallest acknowledgment the recipient can make is to say or write, "Thank you."

FOUND. Odd Notice in Prominent Southern Paper of Interest to Anaheim Residents. One of the best known newspapers in the South is the Guide of Dunn, N.C. Its publisher, J. P. Pitman, sends us the following clipping with request to publish: Found,—by the editor of the Guide, a bootle of Hyomel, the wonderful treatment that cures catarrh without stomach dosing. We can speak in highest praise of its remarkable power to cure and relieve catarrh of the head and throat. This mention is made not as an advertisement, but in the interest of those who suffer the torture of that terrible disease, catarrh. In sending the clipping, Mr. Pitman wrote the following letter: I enclose a little piece from my paper, issued to-day. You will see from this that I desire to push the selling of Hyomel as far as possible. I am using it in my own family, and find that it gives the desired relief, so that I take pleasure in spreading far and near the knowledge of this sure relief for catarrh. W. B. Hutchinson, in preparation for the catarrhal troubles of this season of the year, has ordered a large stock of Hyomel and sells it under guarantee to refund the money if it does not relieve. The complete outfit costs but $1 and extra bottles can be obtained for 50 cents. Ask him to show you the strong guarantee under which he sells it. This remarkable remedy medicates the air you breathe, soothing and healing the mucous membrane of the air passages and making a complete cure of the worst case of catarrh.
