Business men report a better holiday trade than at any previous time in the history of the city. Not only was a greater volume of business disposed of, but a better quality of goods offered resulted. Saturday was probably the banner day, there being more people in from the country on shopping tours than ever before. Our merchants have offered them a wide range of imported and domestic goods and it is safe to say that nowhere else in the county were better or more comprehensive stocks to select from. By the way, have you noted that more people are coming to Anaheim to trade than ever before? Anaheim comes well into the limelight in the report upon the development of underground water just issued by the United States geological survey. We publish in more and more attention and statesmen at the national cares President Roosevelt is an entrant upon such subjects of reparation and water supply, placing them as second to no other prize now before the people. That heim takes such a prominent place in the subjects outlined by gineer Mendenhall is indeed for congratulation. Congress is in holiday re- and no word has come of the pointment of a postmaster for city. Meantime the incumbers busies himself at sawing wood Mr. Duckworth's supporters express confidence their man is bound win. Backers of Mr. Littlefield he cannot lose, and there you It's a case of "yous pays your money and yous takes your choice. Representative McKinley this state has introduced in house a bill providing for the clusion of Japanese and Koreans along with the coolies of the Ferry Kingdom. It is not thought the bill will be seriously considered at Washington. Advices from national capital are to the effect that the president spoke very pliably to Senator Perkins regarding measure, assuring him he would veto the bill if it should pass. ANAHEIM comes well into the limelight in the report upon the development of underground water just issued by the United States geological survey. We publish in another column a lengthy excerpt from this document, which we hope will be perused attentively by our readers. The author, Eugene W. C. Mendenhall of the government survey, says in his introduction that irrigation engineering and water development are further advanced in California than elsewhere in the Union, and that in no other part of the state has the scientific study of water conservation, distribution and application been carried out so fully as here in Orange county. The report contains two half-tone photographs of scenes upon the Anaheim upper ditch, one a section of uncemented, the other a piece of cemented conduit, as well as the photographs of the upper Orange canal and the crest of the submerged dam in Santiago canyon. Accompanying the report are several maps showing the number of bored wells and pumping plants in the county, together with the irrigated lands, canals, artesian areas and water levels in the Anaheim and Santa Ana quadrangles. Each pumping plant is designated upon the maps, as are the bored wells also, together with the name of the owner of the pumping plant, date of boring well, depth, flow, cost of well and machinery and other data, given in tabulated form. In the Anaheim quadrangle the number of bored wells is placed at 1410 and the number of pumping plants at ANDREW CARNEGIE has thrown the influence of C. C. Chapman on the city trustees announced willingness to appropriate $750 for the erection of a library building at that place, providing citizens procure a free site and city authorities obligate themselves to appropriate $750 a year for running expenses. This the city board has already done and money is now being raised for the purchase of a site, which will cost $1000. Our enterprising neighbor has set Anaheim a good example. Our appropriates about $500 annually for the support of the present public library, and if Mr. Carnegie can be induced to favor us with his erality, we feel assured all his conditions can be met. We suggest the city trustees take the matter and communicate with the philanthropist. Gov. Higgins of New York now the leader of the Republican party in that state. Ex-Governor Odell's complete rout as leader was accomplished when Col. George Dunn, former chairman of the Publican state committee, accompanied by Representative J. Sloc Fassett, Representative J. Dwiggs Assemblyman Sherman Moreland handed out the following statement: "In view of the repeated declarations of President Roosevelt and other leading Republicans that for the welfare of the party it w pumping plant is designated upon the maps, as are the bored wells also, together with the name of the owner of the pumping plant, date of boring well, depth, flow, cost of well and machinery and other data, given in tabulated form. In the Anaheim quadrangle the number of bored wells is placed at 1410 and the number of pumping plants at 177. In the Santa Ana quadrangle the number of wells is given as 1372 and the pumping plants number 25. Santa Ana is a good second to Anaheim in the number of bored wells, but her pumping plants are woefully insignificant as compared with ours. Engineer Mendenhall was in this section early in the present year, since which time many new pumping plants have been installed, the total number in this district being probably in the neighborhood of 250. Every month sees a number of these plants installed. Anaheim is thus in the center of the section where the scientific study of water conservation, distribution and application is being carried on more extensively than in any other part of the United States. The study of irrigation and water conservation are two of the most important now before the American people, and are each day engaging more attention among the national capital. Roosevelt is an enthusiastic subject of reforeswater supply, placing bond to no other project the people. That Anauch a prominent place ects outlined by Enenhall is indeed cause ation. is in holiday recess, has come of the apa postmaster for this time the incumbent of at sawing wood and th's supporters express their man is bound to s of Mr. Littlefield say e, and there you are.

The record-breaking sale of or-anges in New York during the past season was that made by Puhlman & Co. on their last car of Mr. C. C. Chapman’s “Old Missions.” This car grossed $3,657,10, making the general average for the car $9.93 a box. Six boxes of 112 size sold for $14.50 each, and 37 boxes of 126s for $14.37½ each. Fancy grade, 113 boxes, averaged $11.92 per box; choice grade, 193 boxes, $8.58 per box; standard, 107 boxes, $6.12½ a box. Though orchid plants were sold in New York for $50 and $100, according to the number of flowers, and American Beauties for $30 per dozen, more potted plants and cut flowers were ordered in the eastern metropolis for Christmas this year than ever before. The increase in sales from other seasons has been more than 10 per cent, say leading florists, and they have been unable to supply the demand. The increase is owing to greater population, the good business conditions and to the fact that flowers of all kinds have been less expensive and more plentiful for the holidays. As the season approaches for another turn with sugar beets, the question of seed will be uppermost. Three years ago all the seed was imported.

As the season approaches for another turn with sugar beets, the question of seed will be uppermost. Three years ago all the seed was imported. Last year 80,000 pounds were produced in Washington, 50,-000 pounds in California and 32,-000 in Utah, a total of 162,000 lbs. But this is a small portion of the sugar beet seed used annually in the United States. In 1904 5,000,-000 pounds were planted. As to the quality American seed has produced beets testing 24 per cent sugar, while the average test from American grown seed for 1903 was over 15 per cent, the average factory tests for the whole country being a little over 11 per cent sugar. It now seems but a short time before American seed will have supplanted the foreign, as the factories have been purchasing the home-grown product extensively. Last season the factories purchased 35,-000 pounds, and a number are negotiating with the American growers for contracts to supply all the seed required. With visions of housewives paying 60 cents a dozen for "strictly fresh eggs" at this season of the year, all because Mistress Hen declines to lay, Prof. Jaffa, nutrition expert at the state university, smiled as he announced some results of experiments he is conducting to induce the hen to lay eggs, according to program, instead of according to her own will. These experiments will not be completed until the end of December. Hitherto, the hen has always decided to begin moulting in the middle of the expert at the state university, smiled as he announced some results of experiments he is conducting to induce the hen to lay eggs, according to program, instead of according to her own will. These experiments will not be completed until the end of December. Hitherto, the hen has always decided to begin moulting in the middle of the summer and has continued the process into September or October and November, while eggs climbed to a dizzy height in the market. Prof. Jaffa began experiments three or four months ago, and the results justify him in believing that eventually the hen’s moulting process will be subject to human control. Santa Fe Holiday Rates.
