tling over our thoroughfares, and too
late will we have discovered our error.
Los Angeles is growing rapidly. Al
ready $1,000 to 10000 inhabitants are
crowded together in the area formerly
occupied by one fifth their number.
1t is manifest the sanitary regulations
which afford ample security but a few
years ago are inadequate now. On all
sides are evidences of uncleanliness,
and the foul odors which greet the
nostril here and there, indicate the
presence of disease germs. Let our
officials bestow some attention to this
subject, and see that the sanitary of.

forcing the ordinances for the preser-

A Lasting Fertility

In former edition we elucidated a
theory explaining the absence of rain
on this coast in the summer, and ac-
counting for the delightful tempera-
ture which makes life so enchanting.
Coupled with the climate, however,
are severe conditions. The dryness
ofthe land which renders it so healthy
imposes the labor Of irrigation, and
urges all the ingenuity Of a highly in
telligent people to the development of
additional water facilities. But the
land which is brought under cultiva-
tion will last forever. We have at our
doors a mass of the finest fertillzing
material that the labor Of the whole
human race could not produce in a
million years. II our mountain sides
have decayed and filled the valleys
with a porous soil that must forever
prevent rain by retarding solar evapo-
ration, they will for countless ages
keep furnishing fresh material to en-
rich the plain. As each block of gran
ite decays, and rolls down the noun
tain side the inhabitants below get a
ton of fertilizing material more per-
feet than science could manufacture.
Not until the last rock is gone will the
land begin to become sterile. The
gold they have scattered over the
plain sinks into insignificance when
we consider the agricultural wealth of
even an unimportant range. The San
Gabriel mountains will yield to pos
terity corn and wine and oil OF great
er value than all the gold ever COL
lected in California. In every cubic
mile of them there is the material to
grow millions of tons of wine. While
other countries see their soil washing
from the barren clay, and sterllity is
slowly sapping the strength of the ma
ton, while millions of human beings
mourn because they have no spot of
earth to bequeath to their children
that will return reward for labor, the
sentinels of everlasting prosperity
range themselves in serried ranks
along these shores to guard our happi-
ness for untold ages. AS long as they
send their gushing waters and hurl
down their huge bones to enrich the
plain plenty will crown the labors of
the husbandman and boundless pros.
perity shower blessings upon the
dwellers by this Western sea.

Mining Stock Gamblin 9.

IA wife, writes to the San Francis
co Chronicle that her husband has Wis.,
tied faro room until FIVE thousand
dollars-the accumulation of years of
toll and economy-has been swallowed
up, and now she and her three chill
dren are destitute and know not where
to obtain the means of living. This is
sad picture, yet it is but one of thou
sands that San Francisco might hold
up to the public gaze. Nor have
these thousands ofpoor families reach
ed the level of destitution through fa-
70, monte or any other game played
with cards. NJ lining stock gambling
has been the curse of the poorer clas-
ses of San Francisco. Gambling with
cards is science-a profession-and,
saying nothing about the percentage
which all banking games have over
the bettor, the novice who matches
himself against professional is as GER
tain to lose his money as science and
skill are certain to triumph over mere
chance luck. The chances are still
greater against the small outside gam
bier in mining stocks. He iscomplet-
ly at the mercy Of those who deal the
game. His Judgment is worth moth
ing for the reason that the intrinsic
value of his stock has nothing to do
with its rise and fall in the market.
The managers-those on the inside
elevate or depress as their interests
demand. Mining stock gambling is
steadily impoverishing those of small
means In San Francisco, and as stead
lily conce ntrating the earnings of the
masses in the hands of the few. Fa-
70 has robbed "a wife" of the means
of support for herself and children,
but mining stock gambling has re-
duced thousands of poor wives to the
same deplorable condition.

ing under the wire first in 2:3l, with
VOORHEES, second. After the second
heat the pools changed, Bruno being
the favorite. On the third heat the
horses got good start, with Bruno
slightly in the lead, which he held to
the first quarter, where Voorhees,
caught him. They ran pretty even all
the way around the track, passing un.
der the wire together in 2:32. The
Judges decided this dead heat-May
Davis distanced. Fourth heat.-This
was still finer heat than the previ-
Gus one, Bruno leading to the stretch,
when Voorhees, took a run and col
Jared Bruno down the stretch, who,
however, beat him by head in 2:31.

Allen winning by head in 2:3O;
Whipple second and second money,
Maid third, Frank fourth and third
money.
In the unfinished race of yesterday
the horses were called up for the 9th
heat shortly after IL o'clock. Ned and
Gates sold about even in the pools,
with Clark selling very low as second
choice. On the 1st heat Clark took
the lead and kept it to the quarter,
where Ned collared him, but breaking
badly Gates passed him on the turn,
with Clark second. Ned again recov-
cred himself and caught Gates on the
home stretch, both coming under the
wire neck and neck, the Judge decid-
ing it dead heat between Gates and
Ned. Clark was ruled out. On the 7th
heat Ned took the lead and retained it
to the last turn when Gates passed
him and got under the wire half
length ahead. winning the race. Time

An Interesting Fight.

We like to see fight in which we
take the same interest that the woman
did who witnessed the struggle between
her husband and the bear-don't care
which wins-and we are just now
watching such a contest. His Honor,
the Mayor, is one of the combatants
and the City Council the other. For
some time past the Council has fallen
into the habit of meeting and adj ourn-
ing without transacting any business,
and the people are wondering thereat.
Here is the secret: The Mayor has
prepared and has ready for delivery a
veto of the ordinance locating the de-
pot of the Los Angeles and Indepen-
dence railroad on San Pedro street.
Now it is known that the requisite
eight-two thirds of the Councilmen-
are ready to pass the ordinance over
the veto, but owing to the absence
from the city of one of the eight, ad-
journments are in order until he re-
turns. We take no stock In this strug-
gle nor do we care to the value of one
cent where the depotis located so long
as point near the business center OF
the city is selected. We however
hold that the Mayor has right to ex-
ercise his preogative and knowing the
man we will stake q small sum of
money that he does exercise it if the
Council ever holds session. The
Mayor has our sympathy, not that we
are prepared to say that he is either
right or wrong in his views as to the
location of the depot, but because un-
der the law he has right to veto this
ordinance and we are in favor of every
man enjoying his rights and privileg-
es, even to the extent of cutting off
his nose to spite his face. The inside
history of this depot location business
is rather amusing to one who does not
own hill lots and Is not concerned in
the bonded property down on San Pc
dro street. We take 1t for granted
that both the railroad managers and
the members of the Council are the

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1Sth-The

cisco Stock Exchange Board to its
members: "You are hereby directed,
by the special committee of the Board
appointed this day, to take up all
stocks coming to you before IL o'clock

to comply with the same will necessi-

the Boards, and that many prominent
brokers and heavy operators favor
such move, but nothing definite is

There Is nothing new in regard to
the Bank of California except a state
ment made by member of the syndi-
cate that Michael Reese has become
subscriber to the guarantee fund, to
what amount it is not stated. AS re-
CARDS the time of re opening it is stat
ed by member of the Board of Direc-
tors that previous to resumption, a
meeting Of the stockholders will be
called, and statement of the conji.
ton of the Bank will be presented to
them. AS ten days notice is required
for meeting Of stockholders, it would
seem, unless resumption proceeds the
report of the Directors, that the Bank
could hardly reopen before the first of
October. Arrangements are said to be
progressing satisfactorily and possibly
the Bank may begin paying to small
depositors before making any state
ment.

Our Sanitary Regula tions.

LIE euJoymenC OI lie IS so largely
dependent upon physical health that
the average man Is always in search
ofa locality where disease does not
lurk. The healthfulness ofa country
therefore is one of the first considera-
tions of those who are about to choose
a new abode. In no quarter of the
world does man find all the conditions
of perfect health in conjunction as up
on this coast. The pure air of the vast
ocean watts no poisonous exhalations
on its wings; no miasmas from swarm
ing cities, decaying forests or reeking
morasses fly upon the breeze. The
porous soil of the coast with its per-
feet drainage can breed no pestilence.
But with man comes the elements of
disease. Each vineyard and orchard
detracts from the hygienic condition
of the country. Each town and city
accumulates filth that poisens the air.
The human race collectively is less
inclined to protection against disease
than the lower orders of animals. In
fact, it is only in very modern times
that science has taken steps towards
protecting the health of cities. Hy-
gienic laws are but imperfectly
understood at the present day, even
in enlightened countries. The fright
full mortility of cities indicates the
carelessness of government and the
disregard of human life. The law at
tempts to protect the body of man
from the dagger of the assassin and
bullet Of the enemy, but little effort
is made to ward off the attacks of dis
ease, and the mournful procession
winds toward the graveyard from
morning till night bearing the VIC
