Of her husband, the Hon. George VIII.

which mortals may count upon, but it il

1t will be matter of great surprise to
many Of the readers Of the HERALD to
know that powerful lion was this week
killed on Crescenta Canada, in full view
Of the City Of Los Angeles. Since the
lion is dead the settlers think "a living
dog is better than dead lion," and all
brag about having had part and lot in
the killing Of the King of Beasts.
The facts about the demise Of the
great lion Of La Canada appear to be
these: Mr.. silas Briggs. brother Of the
proprietors Of Crescenta Canada, and q
Nimrod Of tho royal line. on Tuesday
took walk near the residence of DR.. B.
B. Briggs in search Of game, and when
the Doctor heard the crack Of his broth
er's rife he hurried up the heights to
help bring in deer or mountain sheep
for his fine sanitarium, and took the
Chinese cook along to help bring in the
toothsome venison or sturdy steaks oil
bear, knowing that "brother 81" never
wastes powder and ball. Before they
had proceeded far they heard the ago
nizing roar of wounded lion that was
struggling and writhing in pain and
showing two rows Of ivory that had NO
need for dentist None Of the party
were anxious to investigate ths
matter at short range till the
quadruped lost his vilslity, when
he was taken down to the HOUSE
where all the Cinnamon at work In the
neighborhood congregated and discussed
the lion question. When tho skin of the
monarch was removed the Chinsmer
were enthusiastic in praise Of the deli
licious and shiny meat. Heap goodr
me Ike him ale same chicken" "Belly
good"
The Mongolians manifested such An
affection for meat ''alle same chicken,
chat the carcass weighing two hundred
pounds was given to the heather for
an Inheritance" and they made great
feast Of lion soup, roast lion, lion fricassee,
lion o. 10 mode, lion stew, and boiled lion
and rice, till their chop sticks wore oul
with exercise. The whole camp lionized
three days on the savory meat, while the
white man got only the skin Of the beast
for his risk and trouble.

The passengers. all men, jumped from
the stage before the speed Of the horses
had become great, and escaped unin
jured. The driver struggled with the
maddened animals, but all his Efforts to

ting their speed. Finally at place where

REFRIGERATION ASSOCIATIONS.
Coed Progress Rsporred-w Work Laio
Out.


The recent meeting Of the Executive
Committee comprising the immigration
Association was for the transaction OF
general business and to receive state
ment OF its work thus far. Commissioner
R, H. Hewitt gave detailed statement
Of everything which had been done, let
ters written, documents mailed, moneys
collected, etc., since the beginning Of the
Association. The report was accepted
and filed. A large number Of letters had
been written to prominent citizens in
Southern California, urging the co-opera-
ton of all sections; in all cases the re.
plies received were favorable, and there
seems to be no doubt that when the OBJ
jects OF the Association become more
thoroughly known 1t will receive COR
dial and good financial support.
The amount Of publicity so far given
10 the Association has brought great
number Of letters Of inquiry from all
parts of the country requesting reliable
information In regard to Southern Cali
fornia. These inquiries come from Cana
do and England as we'll as from every
State in the Union.
The Association secured for the month
Of August subscriptions to the amount Of
Sl4S; OF this sum Sl4l were collected and
deposited with the Treasurer. Bills ag.
gregating $77.70 were ordered paid by
the Executive Committee. leaving $63. 30
to be applied for general purposes.
The committee afterwards made o fur
ther canvass OF the city and were we'll
received, they meeting with liberality on
the part Of those approached. The com.
mittee propose making another visit
among the business men.
1t was the unanimous opinion Of the
committee that the best way to expend
its surplus would be to advertise in
twenty or thirty Of the principal news
papers In the Eastern States and Canada,
calling attsntion to Southern California,
its attractions Of aoil, climate, etc., re-
queuting all who desire further particu-
lars to address X. H. Hewitt, Commis-
sioner Of Immigration. The association
will also, from time to time, publish
uh8tboHb uCooIiRttVO VI 9outuofu OoAthoA
mia, accompanied with pictorial illustra-
tions, arrangements for which are now
being made.
Il is . fact not generally known to the
public that em'grants going north
through Los Angeles are all ticketsd to
San Francisco, with no lay-over privi-
leges. II is the intention Of the CON-
mittee TO request the railroad company
to grant emigrauts in transit fifteen
days lay-ovsr here, and obtain the en-
dorssment OF the Board Of Trade to the
petition.
Commissioner Hewitt sent ont requests
to ell newspaper publishers in Southern
California to furnish q copy Of their pa
per to. file in the Office Of the Commits.
sioner for public use. Many have re-
sponded and the papers are now ON file.
The members Of the committee report
themselves as well pleased with the out
look, and mean to push the work just ~
far ~ the public will endorse it.

HERALD reporter happened TO bs passing
Jsvne's, where they were sOld, and found
that there were one hundred and ten
sacks, averaging one hundred and fifteen
pounds to the sack, which, at ninety
cents psr hundred pounds, amounted TO
sII3S5 far a single load. These pota-
toes were raised from ten-acre field, the
remainder OF the thirty-Acre farm being
mostly devoted to profitable winter veae-
tables. There is big coin in these brush-
land farms. as all their products the year
around are sold at top pricss TO our best

EprroR HERALD:-I find the follow
ing In your esteemed contemporary, the

Col. II. H. Markham Is beginning to
reap the fruits Of the campaign. A
thronR of visitors call upon him each

This Is eminently correct, Colonel
Markham is beginning to reap the fruits
Of the campaign and also, beyond a
doubt. it Is beginning to grow wesri-
some.
This week. II : high Republican
source Il to lie believed. no less than
three men who are publishing newspa-
pers In this district pulled tho Colonsl's
latch string and also made determined
effort to loosen his ''sack" string.
MARKHAM resisted these attacks upon
his sack" and there is great tribulation
in the kspublican camp in consequences.
Some Of the faithful are reared upon
their hind legs and emitting fearful
bowls. They do not hesitate to say
that the fight in the convention was be-
tween 'sbrains" and "sack," that "sack"
won and now that they want the afors-
said receptacle Of coin produced. Yes,
Markham finds the campaign very wsa-
risome and will, instead Of having latch
string hanging out, protruds shotgun
from the main entrance of his domicile.

The Camphor Tree.

At the Bellevue farm may be seen
fine specimen of the camphortree. iaurus
camphoro or camphora oficinarum of
the variety that, principally furnishes
the drug of commerce. 1t is about
eighteen feet in height and beautiful,
thrifty tree, greatly resembling the
laurel, the family to which it belongs.
The camphor OF commerce is procured
largely from the Japan islands, portions
of the East Indies and China. where the
climate is similar to this. The tree
grows to considerable size and is OF q
highly attractive and ornamental ap.
pearance. There is no reason why it
should not be extensively propogated
here. Every part of the tree is I'M
pregnated with the aroma of the gum,
and to procure the gum, in commercial
form, the leaves, bark and wood are
chopped into small pieces and undergo
a saturating and distilling process.
Many rare trees and plants may be seen
in gardens and grounds in this county
indicating the useful and beautiful com
bination that might be brought together
and cultivated il there were persons
among us curious in such matters
