Salt River Valley lrrlQatiOn.

The Phoenix Republican of May 3, publishes a list of canals on both sides of the Salt River, showing the number of acres under each canal, both cultivated and not cultivated. From this report is appears that there are on the north side of the river 73,529 acres cultivated and 97,661 acres not cultivated On the south side of the river there are 50,1O6 acres cultivated and 56,525 acres not cultivated, or a total on both sides of 123,635 acres cultivated and 154,186 acres not cultivated, giving a grand total of 277,947 acres under all the canal systems of that valley. Before more acres are cultivated more water must be obtained, as there is not now enough water there for the acreage already under cultivation.
 There is more water now ready for use in the Imperial Settlements than there is in the entire Salt River Val ley.

Demurrer Sustained.

Referring to the mooted question of annexing Arizona to San Diego, which will probably never get beyond the talk stage, the Riverside Press says:
 We should really be sorry to lose our neighbor on the south, with it's Coronado Hotel, tent city, beautiful bay, and splendid climate. We don't presume San Diego people would re- fuse the citizens of Riverside and San Bernardino an opportunity to take their usual summer outing there, but some how we cannot bring our selves to think of going to Arizona to cool off. Really, San Diego seems to be doing pretty well in California; and for one, We wish to file a demurrer to the application for divorce.
 The demurrer is sustained. Call the next case.

California Fruits.

The California Cultivator, a paper usually we'll posted in fruit matters, has been led to publish fruit statistics taken from Assessors re- ports that are so wild in every respect that we are surprised that Brother Godwin's keen eye did not detect the wild figures, which are as follows:
 From the reports of the various county assessors of the State, some interesting figures are shown regard ing the number of the different kinds of fruit trees grown in California.
 Riverside leads in orange trees, re- porting the immense number of 773, 900; Los Angeles is second, with ESQ., 900; Butte third, with 308,000, and Ventura fourth, 67O00. Only fifteen counties in the State do not raise oranges
 In lemon trees Los Angeles leads with 179,O00; San Diego is second with 100000; Ventura has 9600O and River side 75,000.
 Orange county has the largest num- Der of walnut trees, the amount being 95,000, Los Angeles has 93,00O and Ventura 48,000.
 Santa Cruz has 530,OOO apricot trees, SOnoma 399,000 and Ventura 342,OOO Ventura leads in olives, Monterey in apples, Santa Clara in cherries and prunes, Placer in pears and Contra Costa in almonds.
 The idea that Ventura county should be placed fifth in the list of counties in the orange industry while San Ber- nardinO County, with it's Redlands, it's Highlands, Cotton and Ontario, is not mentioned is too glaringly wild for anything. We have not the figures at hand to correct the above statements, but will not some paper having the data take up this matter and give correct figures?
