FULLERTON

| FULLERTON, Aug 4.-(Regular Corre-
| spondence) Secretary Holcomb of the Ful-
lerton Walnut Growers association re-
ports having received estimates of this sea-
sons crop from two-thirds of the members
OF the association, and now states on good
authority that there will be about three
fourths of a crop of soft-shells and half Z
crop OF hard-shells. On account of young
trees coming into bearing this year. Mr..
Holcomb says there will be as many car
loads of walnuts shipped from Fullerton
this season as last year. The entire crop
of this section sold for $4,000 last year, but
as 1t is generally believed that the grow
ers will receive fully two cents pound
more this year, it is estimated that the
coming crop will bring at least $100, 900 into
this section the coming season. The crop
in the few sections in Southern California
that produce walnuts is reported light this
being the reason why the growers will de-
mand higher prices for their product this
season.

that he is so occupied in his busness-the

vote to the citys interests. The trustees

yICTORIA'S REIGN.
Great Britain Has Constantly Grown
Since She Became Queen.

While no great wars have marred the
considered as the most glorious period in
the entire history OF Great Britain, il one is
to judge by the growth of the area, popu-
lation, aud, above all, Of the wealth of that
empire upon which the sun never sets.
The population of the United Kingdom
alone has well-nigh doubled, as has also
the number Of her maiesty's lieges IN India
and in her colonial dependencies, the grand
total of those who now accord her a willing
allegiance amounting to the colossal fig
ures of $50, 600 900, In 1897 the area of
the British Empire amounted to 2,o00,000
square miles, whereas today tits five times
that size, its SuperficeS exceeding 10000
900 square miles. The aggregate property
of the people of the United Kingdom, cal
culated on the basis of the income tax fig
ures, has treblcd in the last sixty years, as
has also the revenue OF the state, While the
advance In the foreign trade of Great Brit
ain during the same period has been r?Iore
than 450 per cent.
The output OF coal today is exactly
twenty-five times as large as it was when
her majesty ascended the throne, and
whereas at that moment the annual con.
sumption of cotton barely exceeded 5000
600 pounds, the returns for the last
year show q consumption OF more than
four times that am cunt. And all this addi-
ton in lapd, In wealth and in population
has been acquired not by great and san
