Agriculture, A Chemical works.

One OF the newest and most interest
ing manufacturing industries in the city
is the agricultural chemical works at 90l
and 903 Macy street. s. M. Woodbridge,
Phi. D., late chemist at the university of
the city of New York, started the in
dustry. The company manufacture and
import all kinds of fertilizers and manu-
facture olive and castor oil. About elk
months ago the old firm of Baruch &
Woodbridge was dissolved, as it was
thought best to form corporation un-
der the name of the Agricultural Chem
zeal Works, with Charles Stern president
and L. Baruch secretary and treasurer.
The fertilizer department OF the business
has so increased within the pact year
that the company has just taken out its
old mill of three-ton per diem capacity
and put in one of the most approved
make of capacity OF 70 tons per day.
The company was the fret to import
from Germany sulphate of potash--that
form OF potash which has given the or
ange growers of Florida the best results.
A visit to their place will we'll repay the
time spent there.
DR.. Woodbridge is an agricultural
chemist who believes in putting the
question to the soil and letting the crops
answer to their needs. In this be OPP
poses Prof. Hilgard, who believes in an
al,zing the soil to find out the irgre-
dients it may be deficient in. The
doctor publishes from time to time bull
letins showing the reeult OF field work,
after the manner of the agricultural ex-
pertinent stations in the eastern states.

Irrigation in California.

The international irrigation congress
which is to meet in Los Angeles on Oc-
tober 10th will doubtless have submit
ted to its consideration the actual work
ings OF irrigation achemes and projects
in California, especially those enter
prises which have been begun and for
warded under the Wright law and Its
amendments. In this connection it is
proper to call attention to the fact that
the fiasco OF the Bear Valley Irrigation
company in San Bernardino county has
no connection in any way with the gen.
eral irrigation system of California.
The Bear Valley scheme was in private
hands and consisted, as nearly as may
be, OF large tract of arid land, with q
storage reservoir attachment. The land
was worked off at fancy price and
charged with water privilege at an ex-
orbitant figure, and the consequence
has been naturally that the property is
likely to pass into the hands OF re-
ceiver.
This instance OF bad management, If
nothing worse, must not be held to
initiate in any degree against the irri-
CATION system OF California, with which
1t has no connection. Districts formed
under the Wright law possess most OF
the incidents of public and political
subdivisions of the state, whereas the
Bear valley property was all held in
private corporate ownership. The fail
ure of that scheme, if it shall be a
failure, should not prejudice any one
against the general irrigation system of
the state.
Ifsioreigners or our own citizens are
inclined to invest in irrigation bonds
they must take the same care and pre-
cautions they take in regard to other in
vestments. They must know what they
are doing, unless they are willing to buy
a pig in a poke. The Wright law is a
general law, but the way in which it is
applied differs widely in different dis
trctB, and the investor in irrigation
bonds is bound to exercise the same
care that he would in buying railroad
bonds and stocks, or real property or
anything else. 1t is more than likely
that the discussions which will take
place at the international irrigation con-
gress will suggest valuable amendments
to the Wright law which may be adopt
ed at the next session Of the legislature.

The shop windows of the clothing

This reliable firm will coon have been 10
years in bueiness in this city, and they
are recognized as the leading houee in
fine and medium clothing and gents
furnishing goods. The boys department
is well supplied with novelties, as well
as staple goods for youths wear. The
phenomenal success in business OF
Messre. Mullen & Bluett is attributed
solely to high standard in their method
of doing business, as they make all pur-
chases for cash. giving themselves the
benefit of all cash discounts, which in
turn they reciprocate to their customers.

a Timely Warning.

As to the organization of the district
under the Wright act itself there is
much to be considered, and every step
lin the organization and management
should be taken cautiously and with re-
gard to the maxim: 'Look before you
leap" Your homes are at stake. What
is done cannot be undone except by a
special act OF legislature. The Wright
act is good thing sometimes, but often
it is monster. It fails many times
because it puts the management of a
great enterprise into the hands of in
competent men. Every man has his
calling, and farmers generally have not
been competent to cope with water
rights, water waye, proper pipe lines,
reservoirs, bond issuance. bond selling,
etc., without many mistakes and great
loss. Let the Neenach Irrigation dis
trict profit by the mistakes of other
districts, and not be led astray by some
visionary notion and we shall hope to
see the water flow and the orchards
grow and the alfalfa fields to mow.--

BIG CANAL ON THE clLA.

The Noted Croton Works Builder Says
the System WIN Cost $4,000. 900.
Chief Engineer B. s. Church OF the
New York water works, who built the
celebrated Croton aqueduct and who
has been at the head OF the water de-
partment there for many years, has
arrived here from Arizona, where he
has been for some time, and Ia at the
Lick, says the San Francisco Examiner.
Mr.. Church has been consulting
engineer in the building OF the great
canals and reservoirs by the South Gila
Canal company, 60 miles eaet of Yuma
on the Gila. He Eayn the engineering
work has been completed, and the con.
tract for constructing the canals and
reservoirs has just been let to g Mr..
Garland OF Los Angeles.
"The canal and reservoirs will, on
the start" he eaid, ''irrigare in the
neighborhood of 800, 900 acres, and the
system may be extended to include
more than 100000. The canal sys-
tenn, 1t ie expected, will cost $4,000, 900.
1t Is q very extensive system; will bring
an immense tract of what 10 now arid
land under cultivation. and will do
much for Arizona.
"There Is to be canal, with levee,
reservoirs and jetties, forming series
OF lakes for IA miles, which give storage
and enable the projectors to overcome
engineering difficulties. The diverting
dam will be OF masonry and earthwork,
and will probably be 30 feet high and
1400 feet long. 1t will direct the water
into. the chain of lakes.
Beyond the chain of lakes it is
smooth going. There are no natural
obstacles. The canal will probably be
80 feet wide and carry eight feet of
water. The whole enterprise is on a
large scale. l do not know that 1
ought to go into details. These are the
general outlines.
1.-The soil Ia very good. There is no
finer anywhere. st. Louis capitalists
are pushing the enterprise. OF course
they must spend much money before
they get any back. The land they have
got is worthless without water, but with
it Is as fine for oranges. other citrus
fruits and crops of the kind grown about
Fresno as can be found in any region OF
the country"
Chief Engineer Church is consulting
engineer in some important work in
Montana and elsewhere in the north.
and will probably go to Montana before
returning to New York.

The Upton district, in Tulsre county.

The Upton district. in Tulsre county,
has juet been completed. The total work
accomplished is 27 miles OF ditch, 60
drops and headgates, 10 public bridges,
6 private bridges, 80 sidegates and $780,
$40 cubic yards of dirt removed. The
district contains 17,040 acres of good
land, which is bonded for $50 900, or cay
$3.50 per acre. The assessment is only
about 25 cents per acre, which is very
email expense for the benefit received.
This is another district in which the
people were practically unanimous in
their demand for irrigation, and hence
found the district system adapted to
their needs.

THE ROADS.
The report goes ON to give the amounts

during the last fiscal year, total OF
$27, ,379, and goes on to say
This grand jury thinks that the above
large expenditures are greatly In excess
OF the benefits derived from the work
done upon the county roads.
They feel that the present road law is
not securing to the people the antic'
ipated benefits.
THE BANK OF ANAHEIM.
We have further, in pursuance ofyour
instructions, made examination of other
banks OF which complaint has been
made to us, and, as to the defunct Bank
of Anaheim, have to report that the
management of said bank had been for
several years before its failure specu-
lstive and imprudent.
We think, ii we may be allowed q
criticism herewith. that the bank COM
missioners are censurable in not being
as searching in their examinations OF
banks under their jurisdiction as they
ought to be.
THE CORONER.
Complaint has been made to this
grand jury that the coroner has created
unnecessary expense to the county by
reason of having held inquests upon the
bodies OF persons whose manner OF death
was plain and upouestioned.
As the cost of holding these unneces-
sarv inquests ia considerable, we think a
better exercise of discretion would be in
the interests of an economical admins
tration of authority in the coroner.
The committee appointed to examine
the work done in the Santa Ana river to
prevent it's overflow of banks by the ex-
pected high waters during the winter,
say in their report "that they think
(from what they observed OF similar pre-

be temporary, and in some places
where wing.dams are located, they
think the engineering might be i'm
proved"
THE IRRIGATION COMPANY.

with the same to be voted upon the day
of said election. as has been customary
heretofore.

vailed to prevent said election of direct.
