WilI Bore for Oil.

Harry McPhaul is in receipt of let ter from the CaliJornia parties who are preparing to prospect flor oil up the Colorado river some ten miles, and the statement is made in the letter that the boring machinery has been shipped from Los Anoeles to Ogilsby and that work would begin as soon as-the outfit is in place. Several parties here have made oil locations in the vicinity and it is to he hoped that a thorough test will be made. The ground to be prospected is on the California side, but obviously, if oil is found there it can also be found on this side. The indications of oil in this section are so strong and so plenti- ful it'is strange thing a search for the fluid has not heretofore been made.

22,OOO Cars of Citrus Fruits.

Estimates from the Southern Cali fornia citrus crop are from 10000 to 22, GOO car loads of oranges and lemons for the season soon to open, which means some fifteen per cent more than were grown last year. The increase generally is in the oranges, and the to- tai lemon output will not greatly ex- ceed last years crop. From all parts of the citrus district come reports of prospects of extra fine fruit, both as to size and quality. The railroad compa- nies are already preparing to handle the immense crop and it is thought that there will be no difficulty as to that score.

Ire.and,s Population Decreasing.

The recent census of Ireland shows a marked decrease in it's population, which has been largely attributed to the famine throughout the island, causing the death of thousands of peo- pie, and forcing many others to emi- grate. This brings to mind quite forcibly the absolute necessity of hay ing plenty of good food if we would prolong life, but after all it is not a question of the amount eaten that makes the people strong and healthy, but the way it is digested. Dyspeptic people cannot enjoy their meals, and consequently always feel depressed, irritable and nervous. They should try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at once. It is a specific remedy for fatu- lency, belching, indigestion, dyspepsia and nervousness, and is backed by record of fifty years of cures.
