manner than heretofore. New associa-
tions will likely be formed and possibly
new cannery will be constructed be-
fore another summer season rolls
around.
The greatest improvement of the year
in the city in any one line has been the
erection of so many neat cottages and
residences, ranging in price all the way
from $500 to $500.
In the districts outlying the city limits
while there have been many acres put to
orchard, perhaps the greatest and most
important progress has been in the mat
ter of developing water on scores Of
ranches by sinking wells and putting In
pumps operated by gasoline power. In
this manner great many permanent
wells with from fifteen to twenty-five
inches of constant supply can be pumped

domestic purposes.

cially so when the times are as hard as
now. Pomona college has commenced
her tenth year and this with her great
good fortune in reaping so large an en-
dowment the past year, calls for more
than passing notice at this time.
Pomona college started in Pomona, in
a small dwelling house, in 1888. 1t had
a faculty of five. three college students
which decreased to one the next year,
and total enrolment of fifty-five. In
five years the faculty had reached fiji
teen, college students forty-seven. with
total attendance of 149. There are now
over 100 college students, over 200 total
attendance, with faculty of sixteen
members. The schools of music and art
are not included in the above figures, but
numbered about 100 last year. 1t must

To the absolute devotion and heroic
sacrifice of the late president, DR.. C. G

success and prestige. The president

ton there are none more favorable, on
the southwesterly slope of the Puente
hills, IA miles east of Los Angeles and
twenty miles from the ocean, affording
as near a "frostless belt" as this part
of California can boast. Let no one be
misled by thinking Whittier is the re-
form school-that is state institution
located west of town, and not Whittier
affair, though we have occasionally been
advertised in not the most savory way
by the unfortunate mixture of names and
location.
The crude oil industry has been devel-
pping in the hills north and east of town
the past year, some $4,000 having been
invested in wells, machinery, etc. by the
Central, Home, Mutual, Whittier and
East Whittier companies, mostly by the
former. The Central company is now
able to produce from six wells about 200
barrels per day. Oil from the Whittier
field runs from IS to "a specific gravity,
and has brought an average of SLIP per
barrel the past year. Most of the oil in
this field is capable of being refined.
During the year 1897 thirty new resi-
dences have been built and church I'M

of the buildings in Whittier for the year

Even the Nation, n. Y, forgets for a

"tyrants and pirates" who now domin-
ate these Islands, and shows a warm
side towards benevolent despotism. in
the following statement:
There is not a somnolent line in
Mr.. Charles F. Lummis's The Awak-
ening of a Nation: Mexico of Today.
Mr.. Aummis has made it his task,
in this volume, to show how in Mexi-
co the past score of years has projected
a vast new structure against the his
toric background. His record is a vivid
one of municipal adornment and sani-
tation, of educational and industrial
development, of political solidification
in period of unprecedented peace.
When one reads of a moral quickening
rivaIling the material, and is given to
understand that the corrupt officials of
the recent past have disappeared ut
terIy, one remembers his Memo re-
pente, and remains in a scepticism
which may not be healthy, but is in
evftable. Certainly if Diaz has been
so astonishing a moral Regeneration of
Mexico, as we'll as her paciffcatOr, the
cry for such a benevolent tyranny as
his will become exceeding great and
bitter in other lands
Perhaps the Council of State may be
able to devise a method, by which,
without violating the Constitution,
contract may be made with some bene-
VIOLENT despot to govern these Islands
for ten years, and who will introduce
a variety of wholesome industrial food,
and balance up our industries, without
injuring, and in fact putting the sugar
industry on a better basis; one who
organizes, for a while, a disciplined
force, instead of permitting the politi-
cal militia to march in confusion, get
lost in the woods, and fire into each
other.

CUBA AND THE AMERICAN ELEC.
TIONS

President Mckinley is confronted
tion of the Republican party. The
hatred of Spain, and the desire TO liber-
ate Cuba is so intense, among the mas
ses of people, that the Fall elections
though there is a large and strong
peace party, in the country, it is not
peace at any price party, and cannot
hold it's own against the masses, whose
blood is up. 1t is evident that the
President does not intend to make any
error. His purpose is a fixed one, the
freedom of Cuba. But he knows that
many forces are at work in Europe,
that are slowly bringing the Spanish
Government to an acceptance of the in
dependence of Cuba, if it desires to pre-
serve the Philippines, the remaining
islands of the West Indies, and, more
than all, get some guarantee of the
Cuban debt of $500, 100000. Should
Spain, at the last moment, concede it,
even after Intervention is declared, it
will be magnificent triumph of the
Presidents policy. War may be said
to be inevitable, but even after inter
vention is declared, it may be stayed.
This is possible, but rather improbable.
The Republican politicians fear the de-
feat of the party in November, if the
President makes an error. So does the
President fear it.
