Federal Labor Test In order to test the capacity for work of Italians, Chinese and Japanese, and also the contract method of securing and handling laborers, the Panama Canal Commission has decided to import 2000 men of each nationality for a 500-day contract, subject to renewal. Proposals for furnishing these The horticulturists and farmers organized into the Anaheim Water company, a corporation of six hundred stockholders, with capital stock of one million two red thousand dollars, representing twelve thousand shares, of which thousand have been issued, the four thousand remaining in their custody. Thus we see that the people selves own the water, the land "water-stocked," and each holding a proportion of stock expense of irrigation is confined extending and improvement of ditch keeping in repair the headgate, drops, and small gates, and the creation of the water, including some necessary officials. In addition crew of men is employed almost stantly in cementing the lateral es, in order to facilitate the dry of the water, and reduce the water minimum. During several months of this the main canal is inadequate to down the large amount of water river, which is wasted by flow down to the ocean. Even if they could all be brought down, there yet no place prepared to store summer use. It is intended, however, that during the next two years difficulty shall be removed by larger and cementing of the portion of the Cajon canal, and construction of storage reservoirs. County Assessor Frank Vege announced the following figures: the acreage of agricultural ponds and the number of fruit trees in the county, as compiled from ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1905 will be issued.

Laborers going to the spot not be entitled to enter states, because of an act congress which made the laws of the United States persons coming from the United States.

City Assessment Assessor E. B. Merritt has kindly furnished the following figures of the city's assessment for 1905-06. Comparisons are made with the assessment of the year before.

Oil Wells on the local groundday afternoon. The score waived in favor of the Oils. It had vertised that Phil Knell, the southpaw would do the twirl the visitors but he could not Bob Simonds was put in. And the foothillers found Robert's was frightful. He stayed in until the seventh when Howard forward. He was not considered at all at any stage of his career and was hammered for single doubles a-plenty until the field tired chasing them. And when knocked the ball away over the fielder's head that worthy swatched the ball in its mad fusing even to field it properly by permitting Guy to gallop way around. Oh, it was fierce as for Ferguson on third? S friend ought to break the news gently and tell him to quit sack. Indeed, he did get a set of frigid feet in the eighth swing wanted to quit, but they told back. And this all happened the Christophers tried to beat Wells, fresh from the Venture victory with the amateur crew of these parts hanging. RIGATION part of a fertile, alluvial delta of the Santa Ana river, Anaheim is a rich sandy loam to work, with a gradual rise in the ocean, which facilitates annual rainfall twelve months a year. The dry plains of this area burr clover, alfilaria, and other native grasses bring a moderate amount of a favorable season a full year may be produced without harm, indeed, is invariably the big outlying grain ranches. Though and regular irrigation lands produce abundant fruit any variety. Culturists and farmers are into the Anaheim Union many, a corporation of near-renowned stockholders, with a total of one million two hundred dollars, represented by land shares, of which eight have been issued, the other still remaining in the treasury. this year foots up $649,384, an increase of $12,355 during the year: Improvements on real estate other than owners, this year, $6748; last year, $6478; increase $270.

Dirt Flying At Waterville station on the electric railway, seven miles west of this city, a gang of graders with 125 mules is making dirt fly on the line to Santa Ana. At the latter place a gang of graders with 100 horses and mules have just come up from Newport and are at work upon this end of the line. Two other gangs of graders, one having 60 mules, are at work near Buena Park and Artesia. Preparations are being made for the construction of bridges over the river and at Coyote Creek and trestle work at Los Alamitos. Electric cars will be running into Santa Ana by October. REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER After Trying Other Treatments, Hyomei Was Used with Perfect Success J. F. Forbes, a well known Western railroad man whose home is at McCook, Nebraska, writes: "I have never had any relief from any remedy for hay fever, even temporarily, until I discovered the merits of Hyomei. I always recommend it when occasion requires." There is no offensive or dangerous stomach dosing when Hyomei is used. This reliable remedy for the cure of all diseases of the respiratory organs is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, so that the air taken into the throat and lungs is like that of the White Mountains or other health resorts, where hay fever is unknown. The fact that W. B. Hutchinson agrees to refund the money to any hay fever sufferer who uses Hyomei without success, should inspire confidence in its power to effect a cure. A complete outfit costs only $1.00 and extra way around. Oh, it was fierce as for Ferguson on third? S friend ought to break the new gently and tell him to quit sack.

The output for 1904 was 29,649,434 barrels, with an average value of $279 per barrel. Texas is not far behind with 22,241,000 barrels, and the Texas oil is worth $367 per barrel. The other oil producing states are Oklahoma and Indian Territory, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Indiana. The total oil production of the United States for 1904 was 117,063,421 barrels.

McKinley has roof, barn and fence paints, all colors; made of the best and most durable pigments known, so combined with linseed oil as to form a permanent and impervious coating for all structures exposed to the elements.

Ocean avenue is 100 feet wide, oiled and will never be invaded by a railroad. It has a six-foot cement avenue on the side next the town, and its outer edge looks down on a beautiful stretch of beach. The location has given it value from the opening of the town, and at no place on its extent to Twenty-third street, the length to which it has been surveyed, are lots sold lower than $2500 the pair. The company contemplates building the pier further out than it has ever extended, the accident which swept away 50 feet of it last Monday precipitating their plans in this respect. Originally it was 1200 feet, and it may yet be completed to 1500 feet, which will not only enable it to offer better resistance to the tides, but will add to the pleasure facilities of the resort and make wharf fishing still more popular. The normal value of good beach property is illustrated by those of Huntington Beach. The growth of the town practically commenced when the Pacific Electric connected it with Los Angeles on July 4, 1904. Since then some property has changed hands several times at good profit, there has never been a fluctuation in value, and while new tracts have been opened by the promoting company they have been put on the market at an increase Oh, it was fierce.

The deeds to lots carry guarantees of certain civic improvements, which are rapidly going under way. The Methodist conference grounds will be the scene of substantial improvements, the building of an auditorium and club houses being the first ones that will take form, and ground soon will be broken for these. Wesley Park tract was held back from the general public until the first of this month until ministers of this denomination had secured their preferred home sites. Mrs. Roy Shaver caught the record surf fish of the week Friday. Its weight was five pounds. Constable G. A. Reynolds, the local peace officer, scouts the idea that "blind pigs" prevail here. He says the few cases of drunkenness which he has encountered have been caused by liquor brought in by holiday makers. There is no calaboose here, and arrests are liable to embarrass the officer as much as the prisoner, as each one entails a long trip to Santa Ana, and the incurrence of considerable expense to the county. Sunset Beach A Los Angeles corporation has recently been granted a franchise for the erection of a gas plant to serve residents at Sunset Beach. The work is now under way and connections will soon be made with every lot.
