LARGE LAND DEAL.
1t Involves Over 10000 Acres in
MERGED.
Croker Huffman Land and Water
Company Passes Entirely Under
Control Of the Croker Estate.

San Francico Call.
The Croker Huffman Land and
Water Company of MERGED County
has passed entirely into the hands
of the Croker estate, or at least
the transfer will be made in a few
days, the signing of the necessary
papers being the only thing now
requisite to complete the deal. By
the transfer of the property G. H.
Huffman will retire from its active
management.
The transaction comprises the
control of 10000 acres of land in
MERGED County, the Croker Huff
man canal and the Commercial
and Savings Bank, besides $500
acres of land which Mr.. Huffman
individually owned.
The price paid approximate 3d.
100000, and it is estimated that
nearly 100000 has been ex-
pended upon the property during
the last few years in the way of i'm
provements.
The policy pursued by Mr.. Huff
man in regard to disposing of water
rights has been subject to- much
criticism. When the canal, which
is twenty-four miles in length, was
built, enough water was diverted
from the MERGED River to irrigate
100000 acres of land, and the bulk
of this water was held in an i'm
mense reservoir called Yosemite
Lake. from which large number
of little feeders conveyed the water
over the contiguous territory.
The conditions imposed by Mr..
Huffman required the landowners
to sign perpetual contract to take
the water at rental of 81 an acre
per annum. No water rights were
sold outright, and as consequence
the landowners rebelled aud re-
fused to avail themselves of the
privileges offered them by the canal.
After the completion Of the canal
a widely advertised sale Of the land
possessed by the company took
place, and to which many visitors
from distant points were attracted,
but the sale proved failure owing
10 the conditions attached, and the
lands have remained without buy
ers ever since.

London Globe.

According to a Foreign Office report, the
productions of lead pencils which Is conSid-
cradle in Bavaria, is much affected by Aus
trian competition. The high tariffs in many
foreign countries have contracted the export
markets. and the consequence is a glut or
pencils in Bavaria and Germany generally.
1t may be of interest to give the substance
OF statement by Mr.: Johann Faber. the
says that the price of cheap sorts of pencils
has so fallen that in many cases work is
carried on without profit, and some facto-
rieS have had to stop work.
1t is asserted that the Austrian pencils,
taking Hardthmuth'S as q type, are in no
way superior to the Bavarian product, and
yet are ousting the latter from Bavarian
towns and schoolS-a fact which leads to
many complaints In almost all directions
export is checked abroad, in Spain land

and the United States by the competition of

cheap American pencils to such an extent
that the Nurnberg article has no chance of
finding a sale. American cedar pencils are
sold in England at Is Sd TO Is Sd per gross
German manufacturers can, therefore. only
compete in the middling and best sorts. He
further complains of the inconsistencies and
anomalies of the German end Austrian
tariffs and OF the veXatious provisions or
the Mckinley law.
In the branches of optical and other scien-
tific instruments the reports from Nurnberg
and Munich manufacturers are somewhat
better than in other lines of industry, al
though great complaints are made of the
gripping effects OF foreign tariffs. particu-
larry in Russia and the United States. In

able falling off in the three important
events in mans life-birth, marriage
and death. This is true of every CIV

was a general feeling of dlsappoint-

last census did not show greater in
crease in population. 1t has long been
known that the BIRTH rate in France is
rapidly decreasing. There were 49,
900 fewer births in tnat country in
1890 than in 1889; 200 fewer than
1887, and $4,000 fewer than in 1885.
Between the years 1870 and 1890 the
birth rate fell in France from 25 per
thousand, to 81; in Belgium, from 81
to %; in England. from "a to 80; in
Germany, from SO to SO. In France,
where more exact statistics are kept
on these subjects than in any other
country, there has beea a similar de-
crease in the number ofs marriages,
which were fewer by 10000 in 1890
than in 1886. The decreased number
of deaths is, of course, due to the adj
