Fruits and Vegetables.

Our article on the subject of fruits
and vegetables is having its effect.
We hear of men everywherein the val
ley increasing the size. of their gardens
and orchards. This is right; begin
early and plant and re-plant and keep
on planting. Do not think of stop
ping with one crop in Los Angeles
county. Vegetables, berries andfruits
can be raised the year round here.
And all that is required TO make q for
tune at this business is the gift of con-
tinuance. Stick to it, and you will
succeed. Just so soon as the farmers
begin this business with will, the
attention of the world will be directed
to us as the best place to procure these
articles. And as soon as this occurs
we shall have a fixed market with
large dealers, who will pay the best
prices for everything we have to sell.
We know of no country so well adapt
ed for raising and curing fruits and
vegetables as this county, and the time
is not distant when it will produce an
annual revenue to our county of many
millions.

San Francisco News.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 1lth.-
Judge Mckee this morning rendered
his decision on the motion by the de-
fense in the libel suit of J. w. Simon
ton vs.. Fred. McCrellish ct al to strike
out those portions of the complaint
referring to the Bank of California. 1t
motion was made in Judge Morrison's
court in the action brought by Pick
ering, Fitch and Simonton against the
same defendant, and it was granted
therein. Simonton then individually
brought suit against McCrellish ct al
in Judge McIZee's court, for the spe-
cial purpose, doubtless, of again test
ing the same material issue, and Oh
tanning, if possible, an opportunity to
bring out certain alleged facts of i'm
portance regarding Ralston's manage
ment of the bank affairs. When de-
fendant's counsel made the motion in
this court the matter was argued at
length. Now Judge Mckee decides
the reverse of Judge Morrison, deny
ing the motion to strike out. 1t is a
strong point gained for the Rulletin's s
side.
A man named Weaver who is
charged with being an embezzler of

street. The deserter was captured but
not by the officers firing. The latter

Pomona as a Health Resort.

J. A. Johnson of the Santa Barbara
Press, who spent several months lec-
turing in the East last year on Semi
Tropical California, wrote to his paper
from Los Angeles last November re-
garding Pomona, as follows
The discovery of this lovely place
free from fogs, not too hot in summer,
nor too cold in winter, where the pure
and bracing air Is freed from the moist
ure always felt so oppressively by the
sensitive invalid on the sea. shore, was
to me like revelation, and L hasten,
as a duty / owe to so many readers of
the P ess, to report the discovery, for
there are thousands whom addressed
last year that ought 10 be made ac-
quainted with the existence and bright
promise of this three-months old viii

The School Law.
The following is the State law incor-
porating the Board of Education and
defining their authority:


The Board of Education at the close OF each
fiscal year shall submit to the Common
Council of said city written statement of
the amount OF money on hand for school
purposes. and the amount that will probably
be required for the maintenance OF pubic
school for a period of ten months, over and
above the amounts to be received from the
State and county apportionments for the en-
suing fiscal year; and said Common Council
shall levy and collect a tax sufficient to raise
sach amount, in the same manner as other
ci taxes are collected, and shall cause the
same to be paid into the Common School
Fund Ofthe city.
1t has been the object of the HER
AID, in speaking on this subject, not
to object to the law, but to economise.
The law is all right, and with judi
cious and economical Board of Educa-
tiou the school tax can never be op-
pressive upon the citizens of Los
Angeles. 1t is true the aggregate
amount of funds required for educa-
tional purposes, such as building
school houses, purchasing lots and
paying salaries to teachers foots up
large sum, but the tax being distrib-
uted among the entire population does
not oppress any one, and the aggre-
gate amount is not as great as it
would be under the old system of pri-
vate schools. But Notwithstanding
this it is well for us to economist; and
to do so the Board of Education must
take time to inform themselves
as to the amount that will be
required to meet the wants of
the schools during the year. These
extra assessments and collections,
harrass and disturbs the community,
and are very expensive. Men who ac-
cept office of any kind should under
stand that any neglect of duty upon
their part always results in expense
to their constituents. 1t is true the
School Directors are not paid for their
services, only in the gratitude of the
people and the appreciation of a good
conscience. Yet the Office is of as
much Importance to the people asthat
of Legislator, and no man should ac-
cept it with the impression that he can
attend to it or let it alone at pleasure.
We do not make these remarks to cast
any reflections upon the present board.
They are oil good citizens and we hope
under their administration our educa-
tional department will progress pleas
antly. 1t is very evident that all the
difficulties in regard to school matters
in this city, was caused by the neglect
of duty upon the part of officials, eth
er in the Board of Directors or in the
City Council. The disagreement be-
tween the two boards was caused for
the want of information, and the want
of information was caused by neglect
of duty to inform themselves.

County Hospital Physician.

The Republican of the 10th instant
treats US to we'll written article on
the County Hospital. 1t insinuates
that there are grave and numerous
complaints about the treatment of the
sick and wounded, but exonerates DR..
BROOKE from all blame even if there is
neglect towards and suffering among
the patients. The Republican says to
attend to the wants of the institution
properly would require the constant
attention OF DR.. BROOKE. "But 1t is
unreasonable to suppose he can give
much of his attention to the hospital
at $40 per month"; The Republican
further says: 1t seems to us that the
first duty of the Board of Supervisors
is to raise DIR. BRooKE's salary. Just
ice demands that the hospital physi-
clan should be well paid and DR..
BRooKE's present duties entitle him
to ono hundred dollars per month";"
Now we have no sympathy with this
kind of business. DIR. BROOKE knew
before he bid the pitiful sum of $40 per
month what he would have to do at
the hospital as well as he does now.
We presume he is regular graduate,
and If he Is he did not go into this "bad
job" blindly. Everybody well under
stood the object he had in view in
making this low bid for his services.
He was stranger here, and the posi-
tion of hospital physician would be a
good advertisement for him, by which
he would obtain practice in other
quarters. From the article in the Re-
publican it appears 1t has brought him

large practice, so much that he has
not time to attend to the duties of the
hospital any longer at so small sum.
1t strikes us that he is very ungrateful
to an institution that has brought him
to notice so quick and given him so
much practice. He ought really to
pay something to an advertising insti-
tuition like this. We have had enough
of back pay and raising salaries in our
country. We are willing to pay all
our public servants good salaries, we
don't want cheap men, but when
cheap men bid themselves into office
we have no inclination to raise on
them. They are better judges of the
value of their own services than we
are, and If they say forty dollars per
month we say forty dollars per month.
And if they get sick of their bargain
let them resign and we will have a
new deal. There is no law compelling
DR.. BROOKE to keep his position, but
there is law to compel him to do his
duty while he does keep it. The law
of humanity, the law of God and the
law of man all demand of him a full
discharge of the duties of his position.
p. S.-Since writing the above We
have learned that the Supervisors
have raised the salary of DR.. BROOKE
to the sum of $1,000 per amum. We
take back nothing that we have said,
but We add that it is q game of sharp
practice to slip into Office as 'cheap
man" and then get his salary raised.
