 Between tho first day of september 1901 and the third day oi December nearly 9o.000 acres Of Delta land have been filed upon and water rights sc cured for ihc same
 In order that the public may know just how the work has progressed. we give below a list of those who have thus secured land io the extent of l6S nlers
 These people represent 57 cities and towns in the State Of California
 A summary Is also gwen showing the number of acres taken by people from each town or city, also how the acreage is distributed among the prin- cipal counties of Southern California.

It Is estimated that in a good al- falfa country to be found in SO many localities in California. that two COWS can be maintained in good shape to the acre. or that an elghty-acre farm will support in good condition lGO COWS. This Is low estimate for such land as Is to be found in the Imperial Settlements. The rancher will find that eighty acres will prove to be good sized, large and profitable farm if properly cared for.

SUMMARY OF SALES BY CoUN.

The large number of filings made un- der the head of Imperial. Is due largely to the fact that many move in from Arizona and other outside localities. and then register as from Imperial in- stead of the places from which they come.

There are two good papers-the

Mr.. Greeley's editorial abilities
are most likely well known, but 1
would like to break it gently to
the public Of his talents as an
impersonator. It's a very simple
matter for him to entertain a COM
'pany from a scene in Hamlet to
the homely Old Mother Hubbard,
SO diversified is his use Of his gifts
in that line.
The Hon. w. F.Street, Of whom
we read so much Of as an aspirant
for congressional honors in the

unusual amount Of business. As.
sociated with him are Messrs.
Crawford and Gibbons, both
lawyers Of brains and push. Mr..
Street is having surveyed town
sixteen miles distant from Be-
midi to be called Wheelock. He
has been most successful in the
business, having owned
and operated several that are now
good, fourishing bergs. At
Wheelock it is expected that two
branches of railroads will run
through, in which event the place
will receive a rapid growth.
The public school is of red

throughout. There are eleven in

becoming to that young lady. OF
Miss Katherine, | was informed

Explorer Returns from Uganda Land
with Stories of Wonder

Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston. spe-
cial commissioner for the Uganda pro-
tectorate, has returned to London
after an absence of two years. He
brings stories of Uganda rivaling
Henry NJ. Stanley's description of
| Darkest Africa"
Sir Henry relates that the country
surrounding Moantelgon is totally de-
populated as result of intertribal
wars, and is consequently marvelously
stocked with big game that are as
tame as English park deer. Zebras and
antelopes can be approached to within
ten yards, and there is no sport in
killing them. Elephants and rhinoce-
ros are also abundant, and, according
to Sir Harry, lions in Uganda are too
busy eating hartbeest to notice pass
ing caravan. The prehistoric giraffe
has been discovered in this country
by the commissioner, who proposes to
maintain the region referred to as a
national park.
He photographed race of ape1men
in the Congo forest differing entirely
from Stanley's pigmies, and secured
phonograph records of their language
and music. Sir Harry says that IL va

olution whose social position entities
them to know the current gossip.
When Mrs. c. w. Fairbanks, president
general of the ID. A. R., concluded her
speech Mrs. Daniel Manning, of All
bany, whose husband was in Cleve-
lands cabinet. presented to her SOL
dier's wreath, making pretty little
speech. Mrs. Fairbanks replied grace
fully, and in turn presented the wreath
to Mrs. John Miller Horton. head of
the local body of the d. A. r. Mrs.
Fairbanks innocently supposed she
was doing thing which would be ap-
preciated by both women, for Mrs.
Manning is sister of Robert L. Fryer,
whose wife is niece of Mrs. Horton,
but it appears that Mrs. Horton and
Mrs. Manning do not speak. and it Gre
ated much comment that the wreath
Mrs. Manning intended for the presi-
dent general of the d. A. r. should
thus pass to Mrs. Horton.

NEW FASHION IN DUELS.
tatOrs and Police Are Present
to Preserve Order.

new departure in French duels
has been taken. In the famous fight
between an Italian maitre d'armes,
Signor PM, and NJ. Thomegeux, a
well-knOwn Paris amateur, they first
set the fashion of duel with gal
lery. In the duel between Prince de
Sagan and Able Hermant the pho.
tographer first came on the scene.
But it was reserved for the sensa-
tional duel between NJ. Max Regis
and M. Labardesque to bring half a
dozen ladies on the scene, and to
have score of police keeping order
outside the cycle track, where the
duel was fought, and many inside in
specting the cards of the privileged
spectators.
The duel, however, was not "pour
rire.' Of the half dozen encounters
recently seen it was the one in which
the two men meant business, and it
was with a sigh of relief that the
spectators saw the slight wound, in
ficted by pure accident, which put
an end TO the encounter.

TIKI CHICAGO OF CHINA.
Hankow second In rmpcrtance OF the
Treaty Forts ON the xanstse,
Coming After Shanghai.

Hankow, the Chicago of China, i!
the subject of an elaborate discus
sion in a recent number of the Brit
ish Board of Trade Journal in which
he presents certain facts that will
prove of Importance to Americans in
terested in the trade with China
Hankow is city of over million
| inhabitants, situated about 600 miles
in the interior of China, but reached
by ocean-going steamers which pass
up the great Yangste river to that
point. Located MS it is in the very
heart of the most productive and
densely populated section of China,
it is one of the most important trade
centers. The article in question
says;
"Of the treaty ports on tho
Yangtse, Hankow is second I'M impor-
tance, coming only after Shanghai,
which latter, from it's position near
the mouth, should be regarded more
as a sea port than as a river port.
The total import trade of the eight
treaty ports on the Yangtse has
been as follows: In 1897, 113,0sO,519
hail<wan taels, of which the value of
25, ,18O,24s entered at Hahkow; in 1898,
1O9, ,446,696 tsels, of which 22,S15, ,794
entered Hankow; and in 1899. 144,-
553,474 taels, of which 29,733, ,666 taels
entered hankow. The total export
trade of these eight ports in the
same year has been as follows: In
1897, los, S,454, 600 taels, of which the
value of 24,54O,3s2 taels left China
through Hankow; in 1898, 102, ,4SS,3S2
taels, of which 3O,o53,651 taels in
value was exported from Hankow,
and in 1899. 141, ,536,355 taels, Of which
81 ,453,3S5 taels value was exported |
from Hankow. From the above it
will be seen that as regards exports
the trade of Hankow is greater than
that of all the other six ports of the
Yangtse, exclusive of Shanghai,
whose export trade in 1899 amounted
to 7O,s22,474 taels. The value of the
Harkwan tael ranges between 70
cents and iS cents.
