California Wealth.

The reports made by the saving ba nks
of San Francisco recently show deposits
of sI56,8I7,637. This immense sum
exceeds the record of all former years,
and represents about $4,000 per capita.
AS this is more than three times the
average savings bank deposit per capita
for the whole United States, it is certainly
good showing, nor is it confined to
San Francisco. The returns from the
banks of the state, save National banks,
show an aggregate Increase Of assets for
the year of fs55,37o,o24. This exceeds the
highest former record of gain by s34,47I,-
497, very satisfactory state of affairs.
California is not simply land for the
tourist but for the investor and the farmer
Perhaps no other farmers enjoy so large
an income as California farmers. A rate
per cent on the investments that would
satisfy the Eastern farmer is considered
very meager here. Fruit farming has
always been profitable; fortunes have
been made in oranges and the yield of
alfalfa makes dairying paying industry.

Work Of the Reclamation Service In NortF,
Dakota,

The engineers of the United States
Geological Survey are rapidly taking the
field in order to continue field work in
the various irrigation projects authorized
by the irrigation law Of June II, 1902.
North Dakota is one OF the States includ.
ed within the provisions Of the law, and
as it has at present considerable fund at
its disposal for the construction of works
plans have been made to take up active
field work in the Immediate future.
A number of engineers will be in the
state by the first Of April, studying the
generaliopography:and investigating any
irrigating projects that may come to their
attention. If the preliminary examina-
tion warrants taking action, field parties
will be organized and active survey work
prosecuted in order to obtain data for
estimates of cost, lfthese estimates show
that any particular project is feasible,
that is, that the water supply is adequate,
that there is a sufficient area of land
available tor irrigation, and that the cost
OF bringing water to it is reasonable,
recommendations for construction will
be submitted to the Secretary of the
Interior sfor his approval. The present
Investigations will be largely confined
to the western part Of the State and will
consist of examinations for diversion of
the main missouri River, although
they will also include examinations of its
tributaries in the northern and southern
parts of the state.

Union Freight Handlers at Duluth Out
on Strike.
Duluth. April 15.-Over 300 union
freight handlers, working on the docks
in this city, went on strike during
the day for higher wage scale.
The men ask 40 cents an hour on
piece work and 80 cents an hour for
steady work. They also say they will
not work later than midnight. The
men were getting Is cents an hour
for steady work and 80 cents an hour
for piece work when they struck.
This strike will greatly interfere
with the work OF this port and the
contract made with a large company
here by the Northern Pacific railroad
to load and unload all of it's trains and
boats.
One of the employers said that they
could not afford to grant the demands
of the men, as all their contracts for
this season were made on the old basis
and no allowance was made for an in
crease.
The tugmen and marine tlremen,
who are out on a strike, are elated
over the action of the freight handlers
in going out, as it means the tying up
Of commerce at the Head Of the Lakes.

Chicago, April 15.-On the result of
meeting to be held today depends
the question Of strike which may in.

Lakes. An ultimatum on wages is to

of the Lake lines and labor contrac.
tors who supply men for dock work

backed by the International Long

Workers association.
For month the Chicago Package
Handlers have been in dispute with
w. ]. ConnoFs, a labor contractor, and
the agents of the Canada Atlantic and
the Rutland Transit lines. A week
ago the workers sent to the executive
board of the Longshoremens' associa-
tion at Buffalo, a resume of their de-
mands and Of the offer made by the
employers.
William Balm. president and busi-
ness agent of the Longshoremen has
received a reply from Buffalo. A meet
ing with the employers will be held

The Longshoremen demand 80 cents
an hour for ten-hour day, IS cents
an hour overtime and 40 cents an hour
Sundays, besides pay for time lost dur
ing the shiftingbf steamers from dock
to dock. The employers offer 80
cents an hour fiat. The men and EN-.
ployers agree on the wage scale for
warehouse workers.
The companies whose boats will be
refused assistance at Chicago in the
event of strike are the Lehigh VAL
ley Transportation company, Anchor
Line. Western Transit company, Rut.
land Transit company, Union Steam
boat company and the Canada Atlantic
Transit company. w. j. Connors. the
principal party to the dispute on the

AND TRAlNMEN SIGN AN
AGREEMENT.
Company Grants Demands Of the Men,
the Principal One of Which Was for
the Abolition of the DoubIe.H eader
Train-AIthough the Wage Question
Was Not an Issue the Employees Are

Was Not an Issue the Employees Are
Granted Increases.
st. Paul, April 15.-A settlement
has been reached between the North.
ern Pacific officials and the trainmen.
By the agreement just signed the
company grants all the demands made
by the men, including the abolition Of
dcuble-header trains.
Other concessions granted to the
men are an advance Of Is per cent in
wages to freight trainmen; IL per cent
increase to passenger brakemen and
conductors and the establishment of
the new Chicago scale for yardmen.
which Is an increase of one-half cent
an hour over the St. Paul schedule.
The settlement was reached when It
looked as if all negotiations between
the men and the company were about
to be declared off. However, after
further consideration of the question,
the Northern Pacific officials offered
the settlement ON the basis above
stated. The company's proposition
was at once accepted by the men.
At no time during the four months
that the committee of trainmen and
Northern Pacific officials have been in
conference has the wage question been
at issue. From the start the company
was willing to grant the advances in
wages asked by the men. but it was
loath to abolish the double-header
train system.
However, the double-header matter
was the paramount issue with the men,
and for several weeks they have argued
no other question with the officials.
