Three ships, the A. P. Jordan, La Gironde and H. Stephens, have crossed the bar at San Pedro and come up to the Wilmington wharf to discharge cargo. As one of the ships draws 14 feet of water, it will be seen that the government appropriations for the improvement of this harbor have not been spent in vain. Charles G.

S OF LONG AGO Uned Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1902 On New Year's afternoon, as Ed Morgan and Otto Hussman turned the corner at Stern's store, they saw a volume of smoke issuing from the warehouse situated some distance in the rear of the place. Running thither, they found a blaze making some headway against the hay. They broke open the door and extinguished the flames. One of the boards in the partition separating the hay from the oil room was found to be quite badly charred. The fire is supposed to have been started by some one carelessly throwing a lighted match through an aperture in the side of the building, which ignited the loose straw on the floor at the foot of the baled hay. Had the fire communicated to the oil room, probably a bad fire had resulted, but that some one with incendiary intent was responsible for it, as was stated in a Los Angeles paper, Mr. Stern is not disposed to believe. A meeting of the stockholders of the Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers' Association was held on Monday to conclude the season's business and to declare a final dividend to stockholders.

The total receipts of the season were $122,930.96, more than double that of last year and far in excess of anything previously handled by the association. The cost of handling the 75 carloads was only $589.49, or 40 cents per 100 pounds.

Her horse was killed by the engine, the buggy demolished, and she suffered several broken bones and was at first thought to be fatally injured. Her age being 70, it was feared recovery was impossible. But she has pulled through in fine shape and will doubtless soon be able to leave the house. The many friends of this excellent old lady will be rejoiced to learn of her convalescence and probable complete recovery. Chester Holcomb, who came in from Indio to spend the holidays with his family, has great stories to tell of the wonderful productiveness of the soil of the desert, once water is applied to it.

Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 67 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and raspberry oils. While he knew (but constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little ills), he constantly advised mothers to give only a harmless laxative which would help to establish natural bowel "regularity." In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin mothers have a regulating laxative which they can depend upon whenever a child is constipated, billious, feverish or sick from a cold, indigestion or sour stomach. All children love its pleasant taste.
