We understand, from what we deem
reliable authority, that the owners of
tract of about eight thousand acres
of land lying on the shore Of the Bay
of San Diego, and altogether the finest
large tract of land lying on the Bay,
are about to enclose a part or the
whole of it with rabbit proof fence,
subdivided into five and ten acre lots,
approached by wide streets and sell on
the installment plan, price TO be low
and time easy; and also that water for
purposes of irrigation will be furnished
and delivered into reservoirs on each
tract of five acres, at the rate of about
one dollar for filling ten thousand
gallon reservoir. We hope the public
will hear more of this matter at once.

PoStmaster,s Salaries.

The Postmaster General has sent to
Congress for the use of the Appropria-
ton Committee communication con
tanning the plan of a scheme for the
adjustment OF. the compensation OF Post
masters. The, purpose of this scheme
is to remedy somelof The Irregularities
in the present postal law, and ito effect
a saving to the revenue. This is an out
line Of the PLAN The Postmasters are
divided into four classes substantially
the same astas present. FIRST, $4,000
and upward i second. from 80, 900 to
So, 600, third, from 81 GOO to- ~, OQO /;
fourth, less than 1000. Exclusive of
commission, the basis for this ascertain
i11aelit. iof, the salaries is found IN the box
rents and, In the general business at OF
fees where the boxes are owned by the
Postmaster. The limit Of income from
box rent is $4,000. At other offices,
where the boxes are not owned by the
Postmasters, the limit from this source to
the Postmaster is 81, 600, provided that
where there are letter carriers, box-rents
shall not be estimated at less than $l, 600
annually. i In all tter-carrier cities the
salaries of Postmaster shall be equivalent
to $4,000. The commission on all other
revenues of the Office is limited to- 81 800.

The Cost of War.

The cost of. the war of 1870, accord
ing to an article in the Atlgenae6oe lei
tonag, was comparatively small. On the
part of France it amounted to ST. $780,
0OO,OOO, to which the sum of 1866, O00,-
900, may be added as the value of the
coded territory. The amount spent by
Germany was, of course, less, the troops
operating in the enemy's country, no
towns having to be victualed, and the
commissariat being much better man
aged than with the French. The cost OF
them North German ConfederationIhas been
officially stated as 1926, 100000 When
the truce was concluded the German
Treasury was empty, and but for the con-
tribution levied on Paris, and the first
instalment of the indemnity, new loan
would have been necessary. The $780,
600, 900 of the German war-chest and the
1920, 100000 of the war loan must have
been exhausted. Contemporary wars
have been, proportionately, far more
costly. Brazil expended $61, 900, 900 in
its war against Paraguay the American
civil war cost $1,000, 900, 900 the Cri-
mean war cost England $500, 600, 900 ;
the Abyssinian Expedition, $40, 000,-
600; and the Ashantee war, 81, 900, 900.
The cost of the Franco German war is
all the more moderate, inasmuch as pri-
vate compensation is included $$35, OOO,-
600 on the German, and $120, 200, 900 on
the French side.

A Mound Story from Florida.

The Palatka (Fla) Herald gives the
following statement concerning the
opening of an Indian mound, but it
must be considered as among those sto-
ries which require corroboration: eve
learn that the Indian mound on Muir
phys Island was opened, or rather en-
tered, by party on Wednesday last.
This mound is one of the largest on the
river, and has excited more than ordi
nary interest among our scientific visi-
tors. But Col. Hart, proprietor OF the
island upon which the mound stands.
heretofore persisted in his refusal to
have this relic of past ages disturbed.
On Wednesday, however, party from
the Putnam, with others, took steamer
for the island. 1t was agreed to open
the mound at its base. After making a
breach of thirty-fve feet, they discov-
cred hard wall made of coquina or
shell rock. This wall was cemented, and
was ornamented with various figures of

HYgienic Suggestions.

The winter has been disastrousay pro-
life in its crops of diphtheria, pneu-
monia, all kinds Of lung and throat dis
eases, and low fevers, especially in the
cities and large towns. The summers
deposit of decaying matter still satu-
rates the uncovered ground and fills the
warm moist air with malaria. The damp
fog THAI has filed the streets of most of
our large towns this winter, instead OF
clear, frosty air, has been heavily laden
with poison. Very few persons make
use of proper prevenhves of cold In
change of clothing, etc. The servants
to whom we usually give the sole con-
troll of the air we breathe never heard OF
a thermometer, and have no very def
mite ideas of hygiene. Winter is winter
to their notion, and the only safety lies
in keeping warm. In consequence they
heap up the furnace fires and bring our
houses and places of public assemblage
to the condition of their own sleeping
rooms or garrets In tenement houses.
What they are, and what an antipathy
the least intelligent classes of Americans,
Irish, and Germans have to pure air, we
all know.
Railway conductors are men OF better
education than the janitOrs or kitchen
maids who regulate the atmosphere Of
our houses and places of assemblage
and which of us (who has preference
for inhaling air and not POISON has not
waged lifelong battle with them for a
chance TO breathe in their cars at all {?
All talk of wholesome air, oxygen or nj
trogen, is regarded by them as it was by
Franklin's bedfellow when the philos-
opher insisted on opening the window,
as new-fangled tomfoolery." They
shut the ventilators, pull the windows
close, heap on the coal In the red-hot
stove, and sit down content while the
car fills with fetid poison, and the patient
American public drinks it III without q
word.
Another common mistake, and one
which has been most pernicious In its
effects this winter, is the putting on
of heavy underclothing and wearing it
whether the thermometer mark sixty-tive
degrees above zero or six degrees below.
The thick winter clothing which we have
carried as burden through these warm,
muggy months opens every pore by per-
SEPARATION, relaxes the system and makes
it liable to attacks of cold and fever.
There is much talk of hygiene, of this
mode of practice or of that the weather
and his health are the two subjects which
the average American never wearies OF
discussing. But they are the two con-
corning which he acts with the least
pra ctical sense and the blindest reliance
on fate and luck. Nea0 York Tribune.

with bows and arrows, and

warriors with bows and arrows, and
various reptiles. After much difficulty
q breach was made In the wall, and, by
the light of the torch, several OF the
party entered. Much surprised, they
found themselves within a vault eight
feet high, with room twelve by fifteen
feet long, with armed warriors eleased
in inches, all in a state of petrifaction.
This is certainly a most wonderful dis
covtry, and has produced a profound
sensation In view. Of this important
discovery Col. Hart has stationed q
guard to prevent parties making way
vita these wonderful objects. Murphy's
Island will, no doubt, become the M coca
of the St. Johns River.

A Wonderful Wheat Country.

We have been in the habit of sup
posing that the Wallamet Valley was the
greatest wheat groW1ng country on the
inhabitable globe, and have felt like IN
duLging in an indefinite amount of vain
glorious Boosting over the record OF
fields producing so bushels or more to
the acre, and whole farms averaging 80
or 40 bushels. But our beautiful valley
and our farmers must look to their
laurels henceforth. From a gentleman
Of undoubted veracity, carefulness and
accuracy, we receive some information
concerning wheat-raising In Eastern
Washington Territory which surpasses
the best showing we remember to have
seen in this part of the country.
G. Mailer, living near the base of the
Blue Mountains, in Walla Walla Valley,
in 1873, raised on 60-acre field, 1920
bushels of wheat, an average OF 81 bush
els to the acre and III 1875 from 6O-
acre tract 3, 400 bushels, or 81 bushels to
the acre. N.aa
Mr.. Masterson, residing four miles
south of Walla Walla, raised on 10 acres
$50 bushels, IS bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Kennedy, whose farm is on Dry
Creek. six miles from Walia Walla, har-
vested 5,252 bushels from $50 acres, 80
bushels average. and this was volun-
teer crop-that is, the second crop from
one sowing.
These crops, says our informant, were
produced on ordinary wheat land land
that is considered good, " but no better
than hundreds of thousands of acres now
lying vacant in Walla Walla and Whit
man Counties especially north of Snake
River, where there is a country vast
enough to produce more than 5000, 900
bushels per annun, and where failure
has never been known. "-PortI0qad Ore

look, which she thought must be born of

kissed it, the soul had fed. Her white

pERSECUTED STATESMEN.
VINO would be United States Senator p
Isadgered by OfIce- Hunters.


Badgered by Office hunters.
When the doors of the Senate were
closed on Thursday in executive bust
ness lively and interesting discussion,
which was entirely unanticipated,
sprung up.
Mr.. Hamlin, who has been In the SEN
ate on and off for full generation, is a
great stickler for traditionary customs.
He complained that custom was grow
ing up by which unpriyileged persons
were constantly gaining access to the
floor of the Senate, crowding the sofas
and chairs and the retiring rooms, and
interfering with the comfort of Senators,
until, he said, "we are getting as bad
as that mob at the other end of the Cap
itoI." He lectured the youthful Pres1-
dent pro tenn, Mr.. Ferry, very severely,
and said. he was responsible in admitting
people to the floor who had no right
there that he should not be assuming
prerogatives which did not attach to
him.
Mr.. Ferry demurely responded that
he had only followed the precedent set
MIN by former occupants OF the chair.
Other Senators followed, and said they
were prosecuted to the verge of distrac-
ton bv bummers and otfice-hunters,
male and female /; that many OF these
people pursued them even into the Sen
ate Chamber, and If they desired to put
their noses outside they were surround
p9 ana badgered so that they did not
know where to turn.
Mr.. ConkIing said that recently he
had taken account one day of the num-
Der of cards brought to him, and had as
certained that if he respondedsit would
have given him just about five minutes
of the whole days session.
Gen. Ransom, whose seat is near one
of the doors, said that he was made a
messenger of that men and women
poked their heads In at the door and
asked him to call this or that Senator.
Mr.. Conkling referred to the fact that
the late Senator Sumner made it an I'M
perative rule to refuse to see visitors
while he was engaged in official duties.
When q card was brought to him, no
matter whose name was omit, his 1nvar1a-
BILE reply was, I" tell him Tor herr the
Senate is in session.
Senator Cameron remarked that he
was much less annoyed by the visitors
and the cards than he was by the blather-
skite speeches Of Senators. -
Finally, on motion of Mr.: Merrimon,
the Committee on Rules were instructed
to prepare a rule which will prohibit the
annoyance to Senators, occasioned by
the sending of visiting cards while the
Senate is In session. The reception
room of the Senate is crowded during
the who'd day with persons waiting to
interview Senators, most OF them after
place, and the persistence which they
show, especially the females, would
scarcely be credited by those who are
not eye-witnesses.- 0ttG7710re San. ,f.s
