DAN t'ift't', WV. ., 1910.
J. ID. Walker arrived last night with
the delegation of Pima and Maricopa
chiefs, en- route to Washington. They
leave on the steamer Orizaba for San
Francisco.
The Mexican who fell at the Mission
breaking both legs, died from the ef-
fects of internal injuries.
The construction party from Fort
Yuma East on the military telegraph
have built thirty miles. Superinten-
dent Haines and Capt Price. started a
fourth party Of construction from Yu-
ma to Maricopa Wells, to-day.
Capt. Chas. Wheaton, commanding
officer at Yuma, sent a sergeant and a
private here with n requisition to the
civil authorities to deliver to them the
man Malcolm c. Walker, the deserter
who robbed DIR. Rose at the Fort and
beat Chinaman nearly to death. He
is held here on Il charge of burglary.
The Union says four prisoners es-
capped from the Jail of del Castillo, by
digging out, on the night of the

by the Governor, pursued and caught
two inside the Mexican lines, the 9TH

is the notorious PanchO Lohese, alias
Fierabras. He is wanted in both

The County and tho Railroad.

The Bulletin urges Los Angeles to
exact guarantee for the completion
of the Southern Pacific railroad to San
Francisco within the specified time,
and of the connection with Anaheim,
before transferring the bonds of the
county. This advice is timely; not
that there is any reasonable fear that
the company will not perform all they
have promised. Their action i'm the
past renders it almost certain they will
keep their engagement in the future.
But, when II private party makes Il
contract, he wishes security, and it is
thought foolish and 'unbusinesslike, If
he neglects all guarantees possible, no
matter how honest aud honorable the
man with whom he is dealing may be.
That course, which it is appropriate for
a private party to pursue, is the one for
the public. Far more guarantees are
required that man may be honest i'm
his dealings with community, than
in his dealings with individuals. Many
who would shrink from wrOnging one
man, shrink not from wronging many
combined. Let our Supervisors in this
look to our common interests.

LETTER FROM SANTA BARBARA.

EDITOR HERALD: Our town is -four
ishing, and we voted against subsidy.
More buildings have been erected
here within the past two months, than
in any other two months of our histo-
ry. Houses are springing up in all
parts OF town with wonderful rapidity.
On State street, adjoining Rice & Por-
ter's stables, Mortimer Cook is erect
ing 4 two-story brick store, % feet
front. }. Nj. AndOnegui's fine two-sto-
ry, iron front, brick building, is fast
approaching completed, and, when fin
ished will be the finest building OH the
street. In the post-otfice block, Ct. w.
Stanley, and DR.. Wood, of the Inder,
are each building, side by side, two
story brick stores, which will add much
to the appearance of that portion OF
State street The Santa Barbara Lodge
of Free MasOns are negotiating for a
lot, on which they hope to erect a
handsome three-stOry brick building,
to be used asa lodge-rOonl, stOre-rOOms
and offices.
After some delay, the Mission Water
Company have made glad our hearts
by introducing the pure, soft Mission
water into town, and the horses respect
fully return thanks for the water
troughs erected at number of street
corners.
Our city fathers-bless 'em!-have
made arrangements for again lighting
State street with gas. In view of this
a meter has lately been put at the posi-
on the corner of State and Ortegs
streets.

EDITOR HERALD:--We think that
the readers of your valuable paper,
may not know that there is such u
place as Gallatin,si situated in the center
of the beautiful and fertile valley of
Los Nietos. This is the Egypt of
Southern California, and We have the
finest corn growing section of country
about here The town of Gallatin is
situated one mile northwest of the Los
Nietos Railroad Depot, and has one
hotel, one wagon and blacksmith
shop, one drug store, one livery stable,
two dry goods and grocery stores, one
boot and shoe shop, two butcher shops,
and fine district school building,
with IA flourishing school of over one
hundred pupils. There are also two
saloons, where, if you should come

The Judicial Election, although close
at hand, is exciting but of little inter
est. McKinstry stock appears to have
am upward tendency. Ihe candidates
for District Judge are well known
throughout the county, and men have
generally made up their minds how
they will vote. King for County
Judge, appears to be the choice OF the
voters of this precinct.
We also have six candidates for JUS
tees hOnOrs, all Of whom are presum-
eel to be good and well qualified for
the position to which they aspire.
Frankell Bros. are opening the largest
stock of dry and fancy goods, clothing,
bOoOts and shoes ever offered in this
this valley for sale.
Corn crops are up to an average,
and farmers are expecting fair prices
for the incoming crop. Barley is
mostly gone, only few crops on hand.
OfpOrk hogs, there is good supply,
but not in the market ON account of
low prices. Hay is to be had in suffi-
eient quantities to supply the demand.

Not Currency at All.

When will the papers which support
the gold system in this State, see that
a paper currency had no more to do
with the financial crisis in the East
than Captain Jack. When will they
discover from their own files, that on
the closing day of the panic a dollar
in greenbacks was worth just exactly as
much gold as it was a week before the
crisis took place. The fact is, the peo-
pie for two great reasons have lost faith
i'm railroad stocks. The first is this:
Credit Mobiliers, Construction Com
mittees, and other swindling corpora
tions have been from East to West,
North to South, over all this wide
land. They have stolen boldly, shame
lessly, and have leagued themselves
with those in power that the due pun
ishment might not follow their crimes.
No department of the Government,
no officer from the President down has
been free from their bribery The
great head and front of many steals
has been the President himself. He
has not hesitated, time after time, to
sell his name and influence for gold.
Legislators, revering the man whom
they suppose saved their country i'm it's
danger hour, have not looked into the
the honesty of the enterprises bearing
his name. The Presidents example
has been only too well followed.
Every petty, political lord, master of
u dozen primary offices, or controlling
some little patronage, has sold his
power, stealing everywhere-hon-
esty nowhere, or SO concealed as to be
scarcely discovered. The second cause
is this: The market has been crowded
with stocks. Railroads have been
built faster than the settlement of the
country has demanded. Their bonds
by stupendous system of advertis-
ing and by great discount from the
face, have been thrown upon the
market, which has been completely
choked.
From these two causes there was no
faith in bonds left in the people. They
were shy to invest in stocks which eXpe-
rience had proved unproductive. They
We're unwilling to trust any mans
word or bond, when they saw corrup-
tion winked at by those in high places,
and stalking unpunished. Consequent
ly, the financial agents who had bur-
dened themselves with bonds, unable
to dispose Of them, unable to pay even
the interest on those already sold,
We're compelled to suspend. They
would have been no more able to sell
if gold had been the currency, than
they Were with greenbacks. They must
have failed under any circumstances.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1873-10-09
Crangers and Railroads.

Whether the Western Changers have
been indiscreet or not i'm the welding
of their immense influence, yet their
bitterests opponents admit the strength
of the organization. If the HERALD
thought that the publication of the fol-
lowing article could for an instant
damage the prospects of the Oranges,
it would consign it to the waste-bas-
ket; but it is SO thoughtfully written,
and recognizes SO thoroughly the good
ofthe Farmers Unions, that its words
of warning as to the care with which
their power should be welded, are not
misplaced. Whether the Oranges has
tened the railroad crisis or not, their
strength for good or evil is not doubt
ed. AS far rs human foresight can pre-
dict, the Changers will never abuse the
influence they are SO suddenly pos
sessed Of:
The sturdy blows given by western
grans ers to railroad interests, all over
the Union, have not been delivered
without producing some reactionary
effect. Immense masses of grain and
other domestic products remain al
most Theoretically sealed up in west
ern granaries and store-hOuses, and
this, too, at the very moment when
they could command the highest prices
in markets of consumption, and when
the whole country is in need of money
to the point of actual, widespread SUI
fering. In killing railroad bonds, and
initiating without sufficient discre-
ton against railroad interests, they
have caused much damage to them
selves and others with whom they are
not at war. If western farmers thought
themselves aggrieved by excessive
freight charges, they were entirely
right and justitiable in addressing
themselves to an abatement OF such
grievance. This reform could and
would have been effected in n natural
and business-like manner, if the power
Of combination and organization had
not led people unused to its exercise
into the spirit of fanatical persecution,
which extended itself to points having
no possible connection with the one
source of complaint. If western pro-
duets were ''corked up in bOttle'-to
use q Presidential eXpressiOn-they
could not be more effectually kept out
of market than they have been by the
grangcrs' onslaught. 1t is all well
enough to say that railroad companies
have been dabbling too much in their
bonds; that Over-speculation plunged
them under; that the rascalities per-
petrated by some prominent compa-
the whole thing was bubble which
everybody knew must burst at some
time, and was only prematurely prick
ed by the grangers. The fact remains
that it was their action which precipi-
tated the crisis at period when we
were least able to bear it, and that they
have seriously injured themselves 10y
| the act.

The Santa Barbara Press says of the
HERALD:
We have received the first copy of
the Los ANGELES DAILY HERALD.
1t is fair, large sheet, containing a
great quantity and variety of reading
matter, and its object is we'll express
ed in the Introductory, as follows:
To help Los Angeles and Southern
California, and to better the condition
tants, is the HERALD's mission. In
this may it receive the best wishes
and assistance Of all well-disposed and
well-minded people.
Without forming Mutual Admira-
ton Society, the HERALD can honest
ly say of the Press, that it is Il good
newspaper, edited with great ability.
1t contains notice to the effect that
Madame Anna Bishop will shortly
visit the South. 7um Miear. She
will be assisted by Alfred Wilkie,
English tenor; l.. G.. Gottschalk,
eminent baritone, and brother to the
late celebrated pianist, and Frank
Glider, brilliant American pianist, all
of whom are spoken Of very highly
by the press.
The Havilah Miner say that it has
new laundry, plenty of trout and
lots of rich ore; goes for Mckee and
after its chief, the world renowned De
Witt c. Lawrence, and objects to sup
plying him with coin to rusticate. 1t
also has the following item about
Hammel & Denker: Mr.. Henry Ham
mel, of the L. S. Hotel, Los Angeles,
accompanied by his wife, has been in
town during the week, on visit to his
partner, Mr.. Denker, Of the Bella In
ion Hotel. Mr. Hammel was former
ly citizen Of our town and is well
known by all old residents. He says
it does him good to visit the old stamp
ing ground occasionally. He returned
to Los Angeles yesterday morning.

The Coming Fair.

1t has been asserted by few indivi-
duals of contracted intellects that the
association is giving too much mo-
ney for horse prizes, and not enough
fOragricultural products. Probably not
one person who is of this opinion ever
subscribed a dollar, or owns a cent of
scrip i'm the association. That the Agri-
cultural Association may from to time
to time make mistakes is probable.
Humdpuna est errure. In this one
point its head is as level as die. Beets,
cabbages, fruits and industries are all
prOpOrtiOnately rewarded, but coun-
try that is celebrated for its blooded
stock stands little higher than one
whose forte is raising pumpkins. The
Agricultural Association has in hand
an immense, stupendOus undertake
ing. Through strenuous. efforts of
members and its Secretary huge debt
has already been paid Off The extra
prizes of such great value are the re-
suit of private liberality, and the SUBJ
scriptions are the voluntary gift of the
best citizens. Comparison with other
fairs shows that Los Angeles and the
South is far ahead of all other states
in its proportional premiums for
native industries and home products.
1t is every citizens duty to lift as far
as can be the arduous duties from off
the shoulders of the spirited stockhol-
ders of the association, and the ap-
pearance of the best horses i'm the State
at the fair is most earnestly to be de-
sired.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1873-10-09
ScaLpinq and RescaIpinq.,

Scalping is a very insignificant ope-
ration, when it is considered that a
little charity will replace the desired
hair. The followidg story, though
slightly Yankee, has been given to the
HERALD rs true:
The narrative says: That for some
time past process in surgery has been
going on at New Haven, Connecticut,
attracting much attention. During
the early part of August Mrs. Ann
Farley, employed i'm Davies shirt fac
tory, was unfortunate enough to brinn
her head in contact with swift re-
vOlving shaft. The set-screws caught
in her hair, and almost instantly her
head was bereft of its flowing locks
and of the flesh which propagated
them. For time it was thought the
poor woman must die, for mental de-
rungement and great physical prostra-
ton followed the scalping, Aftsr II
while, however, the surgeons en-
ployed adjusted the scalp where ma
ture designed it TO be; but they only
succeeded in demonstrating that u
scalp, once taken from the head, could
not by any aid of man be made to at
tach itself again. The patient had
ample opportunities during the period
following the accident to coincide with
that view.
The agony she suffered cannot be told
i'm words. The friends of Mrs. Farley
were anxious to have the hair restored,
and to please them she submitted to
the treatment in question. The sur
geons, Drs. Smith and Park, deter
mined to do what they could, and ac-
cordingly set to work. They took
small portions of flesh from the arms
of such as were willing to make the
sacrifice, and applied them to the head
of the patient. A few days sutiiced to
cause them to knit and grow. This
operation has been performed over 40
times, flesh being taken from rs many
different persons, and the lady now has
much more than One-half II scalp, witt.
good prospects of getting whole one.
The parties contributing the flesh say
the pain attendant on the cutting is
quite insignificant, and after an irrita-
ton of but short duration, the skin
grows over the wound and Orchard is
himself again." Forty persons can
point with pride to the Uranium of Mrs
Farley and say, "a piece of my flesh
adorns that head.n When flesh is
wanted, the doctors advertise the fact,
and the rush, as witnessed Tuesday, is
immense. 1t is yet too early to deter
mine whether Mrs. Farley will live or
die from the effects of her injury. The
operation through which she is now
passing is q novel one, was never be-
lore adopted here, and, by reason of its
novelty, plenty of applicants are daily
found willing and anxious to contrib
ute their mite to the general recon-
struction of the suffering patients
head"
