Notwithstanding the prevailing
cool weather of the latter part Of
the week, there has been an excess
of temperature in all districts--
about 3 degrees day in the west

Precipitation has been general and
moderately heavy west of the Con-

local and light as a rule.
The soil continues in excellent
condition, except in localities in
the southeastern quarter OF the
State. Winter wheat, early sown
grains, and alfalfa are good stand
and making rapid growth, and
ranges have started nicely. Ex-
cept at high attitudes, the seeding
OF small grains is nearing compile
ton, and corn and potato planting
is in progress with large acreage
assured. Gardens are thrifty and
making satisfactory advancement
Much land has been set apart for
sugar beets in the Grand, Uncom
pahgre, and Arkensas Valleys, and
the north-central counties; plant
ing is practically finished and
early fields are being thinned and
cultivated. On the western slope,
early fruits are we'll set and late

4 Large humber Of
PeaSioa Bills Passed.

WASHINGTON, D. G. Jan. 12.-Not
since the fifty-arst congress has the
house passed so many private pension
bills at q single sitting as il did yester-
day. The most important one was to
increase the pension OF General A. Y.
Rice from 1880 TO 800.
General Rice was wounded several
times during the civil war and lost q leg
at vicksburg. He was formerly MEM
Der of Congress from Ohio and author Of
the Arrearage Of Pension act. The Sc
nate has passed bill to increase his
pension to 10000 and the honse raised
the amount to 10000.
Today vigorous attack was made
upon the portion of the Army Reorgani-
zation Bill which confers upon the pre-
sident discretionary power to increase
the strength of the army to the maxi
mum limit fixed by the bill. Mr.. Mason
began the attack, and Mr.. Platt, Of Con-
necticut, replied, maintaining that dis
cretionary power ought to be conferred
upon the president and expressed as
topishment that anybody should enter
tain the fear that the power would ever
be abused. Mr.. Bacon declared be
would rather see his party condemn
the universal never ending, bansbment
from political power than to see such
authority placed In the hands OF the

4 Review of

death rate with other recent years, ex-

year of exceptional prosperity, 1900

OF any reduction in working force or

A reflection of business confidence is
shown in larger calls upon banks at
most of the leading cities for funds to
finance new enterprises all over the
country.
In our immediate district the past
year has been one of commercial adj
yancement. In spite of drouth, the
leading products have rolled up an out
put that aggregates an estimated value
of $33 ,S26, O00. Water has been devel-
oped, new orchards set out, population
Increased, and material improvement
made in every city and town OF southern
California. Mining has been conducted
on larger scale than during any pre-
vious year, and the interest in our oil
industry is shown by the fact that dur
ing the past twelve months companies
have been incorporated at the rate of
three or four daily, the value OF the
yield of petroleum being upward of
1900, 600. Aside from the wonderful
water development, the most important
event in agricultural and horticultural
industries for the year has been pro-
gress made in cooperative marketing
of products.
The new year has opened most au-
spiciously. 1t is difficult to overestimate
the benefit OF the rainfall to both the
mining and agricultural interests, while
the value of increased business conf
dence is apparent in every line of COM
mercial activity.
Locally, dealers report the best year
in the commercial history of the city.
Some firms report an increase in bust
ness volume as great as so per cent.
prices have been we'll sustained and
holiday trade above expectations.
Building permits for the year were l47
more than last year, with an increase OF
'$2S9, ISL in estimated value of buildings.
Markets have widened the past year
and general good feeling prevails as
to the outlook for the coming year.
In Arizona substantial progress has
been made for the year in many lines.

her valleys an increased reputation for
productiveness, her cattle industry has
prospered, and her mines have produced
more than ever before.
