AN ERA OF PROSPERITY R. G. Dun & Co's Review of Trade Conditions for March in Southern California. The first three months of the current year have been months of great prosperity throughout the whole country. The volume of business showing a decided increase over the first quarter of 1906. In our immediate district reports from all sections tell of prosperity and progress in every line of endeavor, more factories established, more mining camps opening, more orchards planted. Nurserymen reported unusual demand for citrus and walnut stock. It has been a record breaking year for the planting of fruit trees. The heavy and constant rains have retarded farming operations. It is estimated only one-half usual acreage will be put into late cereals. Sugar beet planting has been curtailed but unused beet land will probably be planted to beans or corn. The wet winter has caused serious damage to apricot orchards and inconvenienced shippers, but has filled the sources of our water supplies, storing up surplus for time of need. A wet season in the long run has always proved most advantageous to Southern California. The citrus crop this season is proving a good money maker, March market conditions were never better. Shipments have been hampered to some extent by washouts and car shortage, but this fact seems to have worked to benefit the growers. To April 7th about 1200 cars less have gone forward To labor and team work on let ditch for March..... To labor and team work Palm street pipeline at Anaheim..... Cleaning— To cleaning Anaheim mainnal from Anaheim to intersection of new cement drive above China gardens.... Cleaning Anaheim laterals... Fullerton and Placeen...

Anaheim, Apr EDITOR GAZETTE.—If I do little space in your paper, I to answer the remarks made me by Mr. Fiscus before the City Trustees on Thursday March 28, and reported in of April 4. As I was unable to be p knew nothing of the vicious attack that was being made take this opportunity of some impressions that may made in the minds of Anaheim. In the first place, let me say that I did not tender any or refusal to act at a time when gion was threatening the ceceived the appointment from Trustees on January 14, and ary 30 I sent them the follow in which I positively and fi that I would not accept th without some remuneration. Anaheim, Cal., Jan To the Board of Trustees, C heim, DEAR SIRS: I hav vor of Jan. 14, notifying me our water supplies, storing up surplus for time of need. A wet season in the long run has always proved most advantageous to Southern California. The citrus crop this season is proving a good money maker, March market conditions were never better. Shipments have been hampered to some extent by washouts and car shortage, but this fact seems to have worked to benefit the growers. To April 7th about 1200 cars less have gone forward than last year to same date but this condition has been offset by absence of market gluts and resulting high auction prices. Prices have ranged high all the time, reaching $4.20 as highest point. Navels are bringing $2 orchard run, f. o. b. orders are plentiful and held at $2.35 to $2.50 for extra fancy. Lemons are in good demand, bringing fine prices, quoted $3.25 f. o. b., few going to auction. Prospects are that sugar campaign will be a short one at Oxnard, as less than one-third usual acreage has been put into beets in that district. The loss to deciduous fruit crop by recent storms cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty, but there is scarcey doubt that apricots suffered severely, in some districts the crop is practically ruined. Peaches were damaged to some extent but a fair crop is looked for. Prospects for other fruit crops are good. Bean market has lost its apathy by reason of flooding of the river growing districts and prices for all varieties except limas have advanced sharply and are firm at higher quotations. Business is not being forced in cured fruit market either by buyer or seller. The few holders of apricots are not offering spot goods at any price. Peaches are not so firm, quoted down to 10 cents for choice. Supplies of spot raisins on coast are nearly exhausted, seeded have advanced to 10½ cents, options are being taken for new crop at 4½ cents. The output of olives, both green and ripe, also oil will be smaller than for several seasons. Prices have advanced. Petroleum industry continues active, the production reaching 150,000 barrels daily. The demand is growing and price of oil increasing. Locally business in all lines keeps up good par, with every assurance of present activity being maintained well into summer. There is plenty of money, but commercial demands are so strong, rates by that I did not tender any or refusal to act at a time wagon was threatening the company received the appointment from Trustees on January 14, and any 30 I sent them the followin which I positively and finally that I would not accept without some remuneration. Anaheim, Cal., Jan. To the Board of Trustees, Chelmson, DEAR SIRS: I have vor of Jan. 14, notifying me ment as City Health Officer to me that this position should reasonable compensation are not pleasant, and will supply more or less time. Therefore, I respectfully ask consider the matter, and de either a salary or grant contract for such services as are rendered. I cannot accept the appointing less a satisfactory remuneration with it. W. H. SYR At the next meeting they simply laid the matter over lected taking any action Trustee Fiscus remarking "had better go to Fullerton for officer." There are other in Anaheim beside myself to Fullerton? Through the negligence oftees in this matter, the city left for nearly two months health officer, and now, at althey find it necessary to have Fiscus tries to shift the res from their own shoulders to If I were asked to give to some city project give it, but through professional work comes my livelihood, and I cannot should be asked to give my that line, especially when paying for its work in otherional lines, and when other paying their health officer never sought this position the character of the work makes it very undesirable. physicians all realize that for lic safety somebody must ad readily see that the enfor quarantine and the arbitration ple's backyard quarrels, in of abating nuisances, is quite a detriment to a man! After the manner in whichtees have handled the matter say that now I would not a position under any considera The output of olives, both green and ripe, also oil will be smaller than for several seasons. Prices have advanced. Petroleum industry continues active, the production reaching 150,000 barrels daily. The demand is growing and price of oil increasing. Locally business in all lines keeps up good par, with every assurance of present activity being maintained well into summer. There is plenty of money but commercial demands are so strong, rates are a trifle higher for real estate transactions. Bank clearing for March show gain of nearly three millions over same month last year, and postal receipts show gain of 20 per cent for same month. Building permits were issued to value of $1,273,156 which was considerably below last year's March record. This is due to increased cost of building materials. Failures for the month 17.

The first iron steam vessel was built by the Horsley company for the river Seine and called Aaron Manby, after its projector. He took out a patent in France for iron steamships in 1820 and formed a society for the construction of such vessels. She was put together in London and took a cargo of linseed and iron castings to Havre and Paris. If, however, a Dutch tradition is to be credited the first iron vessel that ever floated was the famous Flying Dutchman herself. She was launched in 1657, and her fate was supposed to be a judgment on the impiety of those who violated the order of nature by making iron float.—London Graphic.
