output of sugar and the building of new factories. A special dispatch to the Los Angeles Times gives the fol- lowing statement on the subject:
 "The American Beet Sugar Com pany, of which Henry T. Oxnard is president, had its annual meeting in the Corporation Trust Company's of flee in Jersey City today. Stockhold- CTS received the report of the com pany's progress during 1901, and re- elected the old directors.
 "The report submitted shows the to- tai production of sugar by the com pany for the year was 77,932,5Oo pounds,as compared with last years production of 35,3Sl, ,S60 pounds. The reported gross earnings were $S,S2l,r 0+7.6o as compared with $l,9M, 700 last year. Cost of operating, was S2,oo7,- O29.ls; mainteuauce,,i SSo2. 7l0,9l aud surplus S+91 ,30TS7. From this amount SIPS, ,0OO is deducted for general expen- ses and interest, leaving available for dividends S2o6, ,S07,37. q. ....
 "The surplus for 1900 was S42S,o3o and cost of maintenance S242, $50. The sum of S26o, 507.57 permits dividend of per cent. on $4,OO0, 900 of preferred stock outstanding. and leaves bal ance of about S26, 1000. s9
 "The best idea of the real progress of the company is shown by the diff ference between gross earnings; for 1900 and 1901. The net profits and surplus do not show the actual progress of the business for 1901 because of the large sum charged off, under the head of operating expenses. This item of $2, ,667 ,O24 is two and half times that of last year"

Rent of Alfalfa Land

In Imperial alfalfa land and water can be bought for about SIS all acre, but elsewhere it is different, as wit ness the following from the Ferris Progress:
 'Dr. Payton says that alfalfa fields in the water belt are worth $15 an acre, cash rent; the tenant to pay for pumping. It is claimed that the doc tor has the best stand of alfalfa at Ethanac. It, therefore, ought to bri,Ik a better rent than other similar property. It is also announced that alfalfa land at Ethanac rents for $2O all acre, when the land owner delivers water to the highest corner of the field.
 "Many land owners are willing 10 put down wells and put in pumping plants, but do not wish to farm. Just as soon as land with a pumping plant and ample water rents readily for fair cash rent, then the prosperity of the water belt is assured, for there is abundant capital seeking that kind of investment" %t
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-04-12

feared the limitation would be evaded by merely nominal transfers of title. The President strongly favored all ad- ditional safeguard. He showed through out the interview hit sympathy for the home maker and desire to afford him every opportunity and protection.
 The objectionable exclusive State control clause was also amended by the committee so as to fully recognize and reserve all rights of both State and Federal governments and guard against any possibility of conflict or complication between them. Interstate rights are also fully protected since the conference with the President. Mir. Newlands used every effort to har- monize conflicting theories, and finally succeeded in uniting them on the section, aud now that 1t has been amended to obviate all its ob jectionable features, it is believed the bill will have the Presidents hearty support and the support of the Nation al Irrigation Association, and the pas sage he assured.

Barley-fed Mullets

Any person accustomed to hshing on the wharves of Southern California knows what coru-fed mackeral are, but it it has remained for Imperial to bring forth fish pastured in barley fields. These make delicious eating, particularly the mullets, as can be testified to by many persons who have gone through the barley fields picking up the fish.
 So plentiful are fish in the water used for irrigation that it not infre- quently happens that as the water soaks into the ground a number of fish are found floundering around, from a dozen to twenty having been quite all ordinary find during the last few days.

Angeles. Mention was made of the possibility of an electric line of road being extended as far south as San Diego. His reply was: "We are in- corporated for that purpose. In fact, we are incorporated for the purpose of building electric roads in Southern California from Santa Barbara to San Diego, both included" Mir. Hunting ton said that there was little or no prospect of the lines being extended south of Santa Ana at present, but that if the line ever did want to come through there would be ample power in the charter to permit of it.

SAN DIEGO PROSPECTS,

President Hartman of the Southern Pacific has been here and has gone, says the San Diego Union. He accepted the invitation of Mayor Frary to come and he came. When he went away he said he was glad of it, and so least all who cou d be seen. A ma jor- ity of the members of the party spent the day in pleasure seeking but mi nority of the visitors, and those of the men most interested in the Southern Pacific, devoted portion of their time to a careful study of the railroad situ- ation here.
 They all agreed that their coming to San Diego was more in the nature of pleasure trip than any of the rest of the journey; for while most of the members of the party were on pleasure bent all the time, there were some, who were making the trip over the lines of the Southern Pacific with at least some ideas of business. The trip here was, however, over track which they did not own, and they were looking at depot grounds, wharves and warehouses in which they had pract- ically no interest. In fact, the day was spent out of sight of everything in special train that belonged to the road in which they are principally inter ested.
 For that reason they were pleased to call the visit to San Diego, over the lines of the Santa Fe road, as more of a pleasure excursion than any trip they could have taken over their. own ties and rails. >H
 During the visit there were two or three happenings of more moment than the ordinary run of days events. President Hartman declared that as soon as the survey now being made by the San Diego Eastern com mittee is completed he wanted its curves and gradients as we'll as the re- port of the consulting engineer, re- marking, ''and it will do the project for which you are working no harm. "
 Another remark by Mir. Hartman, which it might be we'll to stick pin in for future reference, was while speak ing of the harbor and of the Oregon Short Line, which is one of the Harri- man roads, and he said: .'The Oregon Short Line is coming through to- tide water with harbor facilities just as quick as the connection can be made"
 A remark dropped by H. E. Hunt ington, the nephew of the former pres ident of the road, which was of inter est was that according to his judg- ment, and that of his uncle, the South ern Pacific road should have been built first to San Diego and then up the coast instead of to Los Angeles and then up the coast.
 Another of his remarks was in re- gard, to his own properties, which at present are electric roads about Los

Oil on the Desert

the northwest, west and southwest, are several drilling rigs at work pros pecting for oil. There is hope that some day all oil field may be developed in this section, but up to date these wells can only be classed as wild cat, and no one can make an intelligent prediction of the discovery of oil until it is actually found. Regarding these wells the Los Angeles Herald says:
 Tt is trite saying that one has to go away from home to get the news, and it is wonderful how news, or what purports to be such, becomes distorted and tangeled out of shape as it travels. As an instance of this may be cited the case of the operations being car ried on by the Cactus Oil company ont on the desert. The most recent re- ports from the Carriso district, in San Diego county, were to the effect that the company was down 300 feet on its second well. The company was under heavy expense for hauling water, but as water had been struck in we'll No. the machinery was moved and the first we'll was being utalized as a water we'll
 "Under the inspiring influence of travel is found set out in glaring type in the Western Investor, published al Chicago, the following statements over t.. s: Dc l,; Financial agent:
 'Ou first we'll is down nearly soc feet, and is in oil. We will have a flowing we'll in next thirty days.
 Our second we'll is down over 300 feet and will also soon be a producer. We own in fee simple 1920 acres of trict. San Diego county, California. Oi, in paying quantities is found here at a depth of 800 to 900 feet, and the highest grade refining oil. Our man. ageme,t is composed of business men of integrity, and every dollar invested with us is used for legitimate purposes on our lands.
 "Commeut on these statements is superfluous. It would almost appear as if the noted Pike x Co. had changed the firm name and moved to the Windy City. But following the above is more concentrated richness. A puff is given to tour president and general manager, Captain Frank Barrett, the original locator of the famous Blue Goose well, which has paid over $200,- 900 in dividends to it's stockholders within two years.
 Captain Barrett claims the prop erty of the Castus Oil company will pay several times better than either of the above companies inside of twelve months.'
 "The screed proceeds by appealing to the public to take advantage of the last chance to buy the stock of the Cactus Oil company at F cents a share, and the long suffering public is reminded that they are to bear in mind that they are not buying stock to start work-which seems reasona bly, certain. The company, it is reiterated, is fully equipped with machinery, camps, drilling rigs. etc, and has two wells nearly completed.

IRRIGATION BILL ASSURED

held an all-day session and finally voted to substitute the Senate Bill for the House Irrigation Bill, and amend the Senate bill in three most impor- tant particulars.
 As originally drawn, the House bill, usually known as the compromise com mitte bill, made no reservation of lands to be irrigated, from speculative entry until contract for construction was let; then and not until then, notice was to be given, after which the lands were to be opened to homestead settle ment only. This defect in the bill was strongly objected to by the National Irrigation Association. It was urged that it would result in the complete failure of the real purpose of the measure, the building of homes by set tiers OH reclaimed lands, because all the lands would be taken up by specu- lators and large stock men before small settlers could get chance.
 When the bill passed the Senate it was amended so as to require notice to be given as soon as the Secretary of the Interior had determined d project to be practicable. This still left the door open for speculators and scrippers to take advantage of the opportunity to locate land after surveys had been made in the field, and while maps and plans and estimates of cost were being prepared.
 In the committee the bill was further amended to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw lands pro- posed to be irrigated when the survey begins. They are to remain open at all times tc homestead entry, but all homestead entries made during the withdrawal are to be subject to charge for water right from the government works.
 As the bill now stands, it effectually safeguards lands to be irrigated from being absorbed by speculators, and will insure the settlement of reclaimed lands by actual settlers in small tracts. This was the most important objection to the bill as originally drawn. It would have defeated the real purposes of the whole national irrigation move ment if spectators and not home builders had secured the irrigated lands.
 It is doubtfuls, whether the amend nent of the bill could have been ac- complished, however, had it not been for the active interest of the Presi- dent i'll the measure. The compromise committee bill did not conform to the recommendations of the Presidents message. That message declared lands to be reclaimed should be reserved for actual settlers only, and the whole spirit of the message was that the reclamation of the arid region should be great national home-making movement for the benefit of the people who wanted land for homes.
 i A conference with the President was held at the White House a few days ago, at which Mir. Mondell and Mir. Newlands and several other members of the House Irrigation Committee were present.

FILLIUS is POPULAR.
It Not, Then All His Political Opponents Must
Have Been "Wooden Men,"

The Beacon Journal declares that it
is all wrong to say that Mr.. Il. l.. Fill
Illus, Democratic candidate for sheriff,
is a popular man. 1t even goes so far
as to say that a wooden man could
have won out against the Republican
candidate for Mayor at Hudson last
spring. The object of the Beacon in
saying so mean thing about Mr.. Geo.
=. Denman, of Hudson, Is not. appar-
ent. However, the fact that Mr. Fill
Illus, a Democrat, was elected Mayor
by a fine majority in town that al
ways prided itself upon its stolid
stand by the G. O. F., is yet taken by
the people of the county as an indica-
tion of popularity Mr.. Denman's
friends say that the Beacon's remark
that wooden man could. have defeat
ed him was as uncalled for as it is
unjust.
Showing this incident aside, let the
people consider the vote given Mr.. Fill
lius, while he was candidate in 1897
against Mr.. Chas. Hatch, at present
superintendent of the Northern divis-
ion OF the canal. Mr.. Fillius won out
for County Commissioner by ma

jority Of nearly 200 votes. The Re-
publicans claim to have much larger
vote in the county than the Democrats,
and If such is the case, would Mr.. Fill
lius' running ahead of his ticket and
overcoming the Republican majority
not indicate that he is popular man?
Or will the Beacon have the temerity
to come out and say of Mr.. Hatch, as
it did of Mr.. Denman, that wooden
man could have defeated him?
In 1900, during a presidential cam
paign, Mr.. Fillius was candidate for
reelection to the Office of County Com
missioner His opponent was Mr..
Eber Hawkins, of Richfield, one of the
best known and most highly respected
citizens of his community. The people
were pleased with the record of Mr..
Fillius as Commissioner, and, although
the odds were greatly against the
Democrats that fall, he ran far ahead
Of his ticket. The plurality of Mr..
Hawkins was smaller than that of any
of the other Republican candidates,
He defeated Mr.. Fillius by only TOO
votes, while Treasurer Fl. Il. Berger,
Republican, had plurality of over

1000. or course, the figures varied
greatly that fall, and Treasurer Berger,
who was running for his second term,
had a splendid record behind him. This
would seem to indicate again that Mr..
Fillius is a popular man. The asser-
tion is a good one to stand pat" on,
unless the Beacon points out that a
wooden man could also have run ahead
of his ticket against Mr.. Hawkins. In
Mr.. Hawkins own township, Rich
field Mr.. Fillius reduced the Repub-
llcan majority. Mckinley received
214 votes in that township, and Bryan
had only 81. Mr.. Hawkins vote was
177 and that of Mr.. Fillius SO.
1t can be shown by figures in every
campaign in which Mr.. Filius was a
candidate that he Is popular. If such
is not the case then, as the Beacon
concludes in the case of Mr. Denman,
all of his opponents during contests
must have been wooden men. Tho
people, however, don't believe it. They
are willing to accept Mr.. Fillius' re-
cord as indicating that he is popular
And the result of Nov. will show the
wisdom of their conclusion. Three
cheers for Mr.. Fillius!
