Would Have His Rights.

There is nothing like standing mp for
your rights. A man in Chicago was
watching the circus men put up tent,
and was warned that it was dangerous
to be near, as the poles were liable to
topple over. Ee refuced to go away,
because the ground belonged to the city,
and he, as citizen, had right to he
there He had hardly finished speaking
when he was instantly killed by the pole
falling upon his head and left shoulder.
But he stood up for his rights to the
very last moment.

The Meaning Of Settlement. "

In deciding a contested land case be-
tween man named McInnis and another
named Streyell, the Secretary of the
Interior makes the following difinition
of the word settlement as used in the
pre-emption act
Residence is not essential to a pre-
emption settlement. A settler is one
who does some act on the land indica-
tive Of an intention to claim the benefits
of the law. Although the erection of a
house and residence therein may mani
fest such purpose, in connection with
other acts, yet there may be valid
settlement without residence. To fell
trees, to plow or fence the land or lay
the foundation for house, or do any
other act which clearly manifests pur-
pose to convert the land into a home,
will if followed by residence, give the
party presumption right which relates
back to his first act No definite time
within which residence must commence
is fixed by law 1t must, however, be
within such reasonable time as to mani
fest a purpose to comply with the re-
quirements Of the law and to retain and
not abandon the tract. In such cases
his right will not be forfeited. Although
Strevell did not commence his residence
until after the date of Mclnnes' alleged
settlement, he had done acts which con
stituted him settler under the W, and
he preceded with such reasonable dill
gence to follow up his settlement by
improvement and subsequent residence,
as to rebut any inference of his bad faith
or OF an intention to abandon the tract
He was the prior settler, and he who is
such and not ne who is the prior resident
has the better pre-emption claim.

LUyN1NG A CORNER IN RELIGION

RUNNING A CORNER IN RELIGION.
A man from Chicago went into coun-
try church where they were auctioning
them and bought every seat in the build
ing. They thought him a religious
crank until he offered to sell at 10 per
cent. advance, when they became aware
that he had rented the building for q
year and that no seats could be got
without applying to him. A meeting of
the congregation was held and o plan
was deci led upon. Seats were quietly
purchased until little more than half
OF them were taken. The speculator
then found that he had half the seats on
his hands and it would require IN army
of policemen every Sunday to keep peo-
pie from occupying them. He offered
to sell off at cost; then at discount;
but there we're no takers, and the smart
Chicago man went back home convinced
Sthat the Lord wasn't on his side that
time.

A Complete Success

The system of tunneling the Sierra
Madre mountains for water, which has
been persistently advocated in these col
umns, is being carried out with unvary-
ing success. Yesterday the HERALD an
nounced that Mr., James Noel had struck
water in the tunnel which he was MAX
ing into the mountains, and to-day we
have the pleasure of announcing that
Mr.. c. c. Hastings who owns a tract OF
1000 acres of high mesa land next the
Sierra Madre Villa tract has struck a
lovely stream of pure soft water, at a
distance OF only 100 feet, This remark
ably successful tunnel was begun where
there were no signs of water and has
been made in about three weeks by two
Cinnamon, at a cost OF about $50.
The tunnel is about six feet high and
three feet wide, and sends out twelve
inches of cold mountain water, worth n
gold mino to its fortunate owner. The
property of Mr.. Hastings is destined to
rank amoug the finest of the fine Sierra
Madre ranchos of Los Angeles county,
II consists Of l 900 acres of the frost-free
brushland, situated directly north and
overlooking the ranches of Messrs. L. j.
Rose and 4. b. Chapman, aud commands
view OF the whole San Gabriel valley.
There is q spring of water that supplies
the beautiful mansion that was built
last year, at cost OF about $20, 900.
About 200 acres of land are planted to
vines and trees, and forty-Iive men are
now at work clearing off the brush from
coo acres more to be planted next winter
TO trees and vines.
MIR. Hastings is a merchant millionaire
al San Francisco, who is making for
himself one of those charming typical
homes that can only be found in South
ern California. The distant readers of
the HERALD will sec by this sketch an
indication of the energy that is being
displayed in Los Angeles county, aud the
progress that is being made in its indus
trial development. The-people take no
step backward and their forward march |
never ceases.

DURING their inspection OF the Los

number OF them avowed their belief that
at some not remote day California
wines would be exported in large quan.

II may not be generally known in this

wines has enhanced enormously Of ia'e
having even more than doubled during
the past i've or six year, While their
quality has really deterioratel. These
