George W. Goldsmith. of Detroit.
Michigan. went into hotel in New
York, few days ago. took poison, and
then ooolly wrote as follows to his wife:
''Tho poison is taken, and can even
now feel it coursing through my body.
The sensation is only one of deep rest
md peace. I know that death is com
ing nearer and nearer every moment,
but feel no fear. can hardly believe
that this is the death that so many
look upon in terror. I can cry in
deed. 'O.deathi where is thy sting?'"
The letter then gives directions as to
the future of his little boy "Chuckle, I"
and toward the conclusion says: II
begin to feel faint and week. I know
that death is coming. A last good
bye" Pity he hadn't specified the Pc
culiar poison, 80 that others similarly
afflicted could profit by his experience.

. Potatoes of large size are said to he
produced by q monk in France by cut
ting two side shoots from each stalk
when it is Ave to seven inches high,
and setting them in good rich, mellow
garden soil. In a few days they send
out roots and form tubers about as
early ana in as large quantities as the
original stalk, while the latter does not
seem to be ipjured by the moderate
pruning. The experiment also seems
to have been successfully tried else
where previously. The plan may be
found especially serviceable in the
propagation OF new and rare varieties
for seed." s'' iNh ''"

How to Build Cheap Dams.

AS the season for irrigation APP
proaches the question of constructing
cheap dams to turn the water of the
rivers into the irrigating bitches arises.
We propose the following as the cheap
est and most effectual dam that can be
constructed for rivers with sandy beds:
Construct boxes out of rough redwood
say two feet high and two feet wide by
ten feet long. Each box will cost
about 50 IS. Construct enough of
these boxes to reach across the
stream. Put the box lengthwise
across the stream, fill it with sand and
nail on the lid; place the next box end
to this one, fill with sand and nail on
the lid; SO on across the stream. Each
of these boxes will be as firm and as
heavy as solid block of stone 2x2XlO
feet. Imagine dam Of solid stone
blocks across the stream and you will
have some idea of the strength of
dam made of sand boxes. The boxes
may be made of any size or shape, as
may be required by the stream. Boxes
2x2x4 feet or six feet in length may be
used for lower row placed parallel to
the current. On top of this row may
be set a row of boxes 2x2xl0 feet
lengthwise across the stream. This will
give dam four feet high, width of
box four to six feet, width of top two
feet. A dam of any dimensions may
thus be constructed. The cost per foot of
a dam two feet high by two feet wide
will be about q cents. When the ir-
rigating season is over take the lids
off the boxes, empty out the sand and
pile up the boxes on the shore. They
will be ready for use the next season,
and will last with care at least five
years. The cost per foot per year will
therefore be about six cents.

The San Antonio Creek Scheme.

A Washington dispatch of March
25th says: Colonel Alexander, before
the House Committee yesterday, said
the proposed San Antonio Harbor
would be to San Francisco what the
Brooklyn Atlantic Docks are to New
York. Conger, an able and influential
committee man, replied: "But Con-
gress was never asked to construct the
Atlantic Docks.o Sawyer concurred
that it would be unwise to inaugurate
federal system of making harbors
other than for refuge. In response to
inquiries, Alexander admitted that
there are various points on the bay
where railroad can reach deep water
without expanding millions for MAX
ing harbor, but they are thirty miles
from San Francisco.
Conger-"That's immaterial. The
railroad won't reach the city in either
case, and for shipment to Europe what
difference does it make?n
Alexander did not seem to think the
railroad wharves insecure, except from
the danger of cars running off the
track. The toredo is not bad on the
east side of the bay. In response to
Luttrell, Alexander said: "Northern
California could ship wheat better
from Vallejo or Martinez than at Oak
land; while the south would be better
served at San Francisco
.aSawyer suggested that the San An
tonic scheme would be for the benefit
of the railroad. Alexander assented.
Conger asked why Antioch would
not serve the middle portion of this
State, Vallejo the northern and San
Francisco the southern? Highly esti-
mated that one third of the State
would be better served at Oakland
Conger, Luttrell and Clayton showed
that very small area was necessarily
dependent on Oakland as shipping
point. The remainder could use the
rivers and bay. Luttrell wanted all
the main rivers improved before aid
ing San Antonio real estate specula-
tors. The scheme is dead for the pres
ent session.

ing only with the outgoing tide. Back
at the head of the slough, which has
been walled in by the roadways, run
another line of fioodgates sufficiently
extensive to fill the tide-basin. Do
not fill the roadway here with earth,
but simply bridge the space necessary
for the gates like an ordinary wharf.
Let this second series of floodgates
open only with the incoming tide.
The basin can now only fill by the
current rushing up the length of the
slough, carrying with it the soft mud
of the slough. The water then spreads
out over the small basin, depositing,
as it gains state Of rest, the mud held
in suspension. When the tide turns,
the gates back into the slough close
and the water empties itself gently
through the floodgates which open
upon the main channel. In this way
the slough will rapidly be swept out
and then kept clean for all time with
no further expense for dredging. The
mud, too, will be left upon the flats
where it can do no harm, instead of
sitting back into the main ship chan
mel to shoal depth and create bars. The
description of the work seems compli-
Gated and elaborate-the work itself is
simple and inexpensive. The cost of
one such wharf as that at Santa Bar
bara or San Diego, with berth room
for only two or three ships, would here
give room for twenty or thirty. Then
the work is permanent, with almost no
expense for repairs, instead of the
costly structure of a wharf, needing to
be renewed every few years. All Of
these facts prove still more completely
the statement made repeatedly by en-
gineers-that they had never before
seen place where nature had done so
much for the making Of first-class

The Herald M ap.

We present our readers to-day with
map prepared at considerable cost
showing the commercial position of
Los Angeles. 1t also shows the south
ern system of tran-scontinental rail-
roads on the Pacific coast. One rail-
road from Los Angeles north to Della
no, then dividing, one branch running
over to the coast and up by Salinas
valley to San Jose. There again di-
viding, one branch running to San
Jose and one running to Oakland and
thence to Stockton and Sacramento.
Coming back to Delano the other
branch runs down the San Joaquin to
Sacramento or San Francisco. AT Sac
ramento the roads form junction with
the system of railroads of the entire
north part of the State and across the
continent.
The proposed road to Cerro Gordo
and Lone Pine is also indicated.
A bill has just passed the Legisla-
ture incorporating the road. 1t is in
the hands of wealthy men who will
build it. The present amount of freight
passing over this route at 50 per ton
will it is estimated in five years time
pay for the road-a narrow gauge.
1t will be seen that the 35th and 32d
parallel roads must come through the
San Gorgonio Pass. After entering
the pass the road will reach the ocean at
Wilmington. To terminate at Will
mington will save running 100 miles
to the next nearest landing south of
Wilmington. At some time in the
future railroad will be constructed
from Los Angeles by way of San Cor
gonia Pass to Salt Lake. Such road
will bring Salt Lake, by commercial
distance, 400 miles nearer the ocean.
An examination of the map shows
the immense mineral region which
must forever remain tributary to Los
Angeles. This map shows the COM
mercial necessity Of developing fully
the capacity of the harbor at Will
mington.
Look at the map. Study it we'll.
See the insurmountable range of
mountains north and south of San
Gorgonio Pass, forcing all the rail-
roads to this place. Then dream of
the future greatness Of our grand
valley-a dream that will be realized
before some people wake from their

One of the women of the future is
supposed to be the Chicago girl who
settled row in street car short
time since. A brace of roughs came
in putting clouds of tobacco smoke
and wouldn't stop. A gentleman
pulled the cigar stump from between
one fellows teeth, and they went for
him. Not far, however, for the girl
we mean stopped one of. the roughs
with his pistol half out Of his pocket,
by putting a cooked revolver to his
ear and quietly stating that it would
be unpleasant for him to make any
disturbance. The two agreed very
promptly and there was no row in
that 'bus-or roughs either.
