SAN BERNARDINo, March 49,
We have had no rain sirce Febru-
ary 5th, and unless it comes soon
the grain on the mesa lands will
be an entire failure. Owing to the
extensive facilities for irrigation
aud the large quantities of natural
damp land the grain on the low
lands promises abundant harvest.
Large shipments ofour fine oranges
are being made to San Francisco
and to Arizona.

SAN FRANCISCO, March l9.-
For several days past the Mayor
and Finance Committee of the
Board of Supervisors have been in
vestigating what was supposed to
be u forgery Of the Dupont street
improvement bonds, aud as they
declined to state the facts, it was
rumored that duplicate bonds to II
large amount had been issued, but
it is now ascertained that the fraud
consists in the double payment of
warrants. The books of the Treas
urer and OF the Secretary of the
Dupont Street Commission have
been examined, and it is said the
er-payments are very large, but
tue exact facts cannot at present
be ascertained.
Land Olics Decision.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10th.-A
decision was received at the Land
! Oilce this morning from Commits
siOner Williamson, in the case Cf
G.. w. Neece, in which he holds
= that title to homestead is not com.
y pleted by occupation for grazing
purposes without cultivation.
Crops ia Auanein.
ANAHEIM. CAL, March 19.-The
crop prospect is highly unfavorable.
Much of the grain is suffering for
moisture, and as it is improbable
that there will be more rain, it is
safe to predict a very small crop.
The corn crop will also be light,
and the area planted will no. be as
large as last year. The land in An
aheim and vicinity being irrigab!e
does not suffer, but those portions
which depend upon natural NOS =
ture are in decidedly bad
!. fix. The weather has been
cloudy and threatening for
the past four Of five days, but
the weather-wise predict that the
raius are over. The vineyardists
are expecting and hoping for a
\ large crop of grapes, the high price
paid for wine this year bas stimu-
lated vine planting and much more
attention is paid to the careful and
thorough cultivation of the vine-
yards as a result. The ciean.pruned
vineyards, with the vines jUst be
= giuning to put forth, are very
pretty sights to those unaccust omei
to them.
