Two Feet Of water.

Mr.. Theodore Pickens came to town
yesterday from his highland home, at
the base of the Sierra Madre. above La
Canada. He reports the rainfall to date
at "a inches at his residence. A most
remarkable circumstance connected with
this great rain on La Canada is the no.
ticeable fact that the soil is so absorbing
that it takes in the rainfall most com
pletely. Although tho land is on q
steady inclination towards the south,
and vast amount of water comes off the
mountains on to the land, besides the
two feet Of water that has fallen on the
tract, there il no brook or stream OF wa
ter running over or off the land.
This shows the secret Of the great pro-
ductiveness OF the brush-land near the
mountains. This land is now producing
garden vegetables. green corn, melons
aud berries for the Los Angeles market
at nearly all times Of the year, without
irrigation. The lands are porous, and
not only retain the natural rainfall that
falls on its surface, but drinks in vast
amount Of water that flows on to it from
the mountains. This gives double sup
ply Of water every year for this kind of
land, which is reservoir in itself, and
furnishes perpetual gardens for straw
berries aud tomatoes twelve months in
the year. 1t is altogether likely that
should there be rainfall Of three feet
this season, and . mountain drainage ol
three feet more on this remarkable land
it would absorb it all most easily.

unburied Dead.


The HERALD has called the attention
Of the city officials to the condition Of
the road to the Evergreen Cemetery.
The matter which was bad then is now
still worse. On Friday an attempt was
made 10 bury the remains Of Mrs. Skel-
ton in the Evergreen Cemetery, but the
road was impassable and the heerse re.
turned to the undertaker's with the
coffin.
We are informed that some other cof-
fins are waiting burial. but connot be
taken to the graveyard on account Of
the condition Of the road.
Such condition of things is disgrace
full in the extreme, and ought not to be
permitted for an hour. II the earth is
too soft to permit the passage Of a hearse
over this break in the road, a bridge
should be laid over the place at once.
If the dead must remain unburied be-
cause break in the road cannot be
mended it is time to have change of
policy.

Mr.. +. ). Hahn, cigar manufacturer Of
this city. while attempting TO cross the
San Gabriel river bstwsen Duarte and
Azuna, on ThursdAy last, passed over
the west channel safely. but when he
went into the east channel the trouble
began. The buggy struck . boulder and
upset. throwing Mr.. Hahn and 1000
cigars. valued At 500, into the raging
stream. The cigas stsrted for Los
Nietos and have not since been SEEN.
The buggy became broken. but Mr..
Hahn and the horne wero saved. The
people Of Duarte secured the principal
part Of the buggy. and Mr.. Daniels, Of
that place. gave the half-drowned man
. suit Of clothes, to take the place Of his
wardrobe, which was dreadfully dsmor-
allied from . half hours struggle with

utllizins the Rainfall.

The farmers on the plains below the
city are very wisely at work utilizing the
vast rainfall In the destruction Of squir-
rels and gophers. When farmer sees
a stream Of water at liberty, with no one
to claim its ownership, he seizes hoe or
shovel and directs the stream into the
hole Of den of gophers or squirrels.
The effect is most miraculous and salu-
tary. The little rills glide down into
the nests Of gophcrs and squirrels and
put to eternal rest millions Of the little
rodents before they have learned to
girdle orange trees or destroy wheat
fields.
This action of the farmers should be-
come general Now is the time to get
rid Of these pests. A great many will
be drowned out by the ordinary course
Of the rainwater. but little intelligent
work in directing the flow of water into
the great burrows Of gophers and tquir-
rels will save the farmers and orchardists
thousands Of dollars every year. These
animals are tax on the crops Of the
farmers and fruit growers of Los Angeles
county Of at least $l0,00 year. By
special attention to these animals now,
with but little trouble and no expense
for medicine. millions Of them can be
extermiuated in a short time.
In many localities where streams over
flow, tho work Of determination has been
done very successfully; but in the up
lands and hills great work can be done
by going abroad in brisk shower and
turning the hillside rills into the dons Of
these animals. Every farmer should
make an effort to utilize every heavy
shower that falls in the daytime to the
destruction Of these dreadful pests. In
stead of complaining of too much rain,
the great storm should be utilized to the
greatest possible extent. 1t is good
time to make an underground reservoir
Of every badger, gopher and squirrel
hole. Farmers should not let the water
run across their land to carry of the
soil to their neighbors' farms, but put it
into the soil for future use. Many
farmers are doing this good work, and
all should unite in the same labor and
make the most of our great visitor,
Jupiter Pluvius.

A Peaceful Laborer Turns Out to te
q Murderer and Robber = Two
Men ROBBED in Broad Daylight
and the Villain Escaped.


A rascal giving the name Of H. F.
Hubbard. who has been working for
Messrs. Chandler L Bower for several
weeks past. came to town last week
with two other men. Messrs. Snow and
Kelly, to be paid cf, receiving about $50
apiece. After waiting for the weather
to clear up they returned to Petrolia to
resume work on the oil wells at that
place. Hubbard proved to DO good
worker and was considered valuable
man about the place. till Tuesday last,
when he went into the cabin and stole q
pistol belonging to Kelly. Afterwards
he asked Snow what the number Of his
pistol was. Unsuspectingly he produced
the pistol, which Hubbard took to ex.
anime, but as soon as he bad hold Of it
ts turned il on Snow and Colts re-
volver on Kelly. and told them he was
going to Arizona and wanted their
money to travel with. II they did not
haad over the coin he would kill them
sure. as he had once killed well.known
man in Nevada some years ago.
He kept pistol pointed at the breast
Of each while he told them the story of
his life. and they handed out the money.
He said that Habbard was an assumed
name under which he was now travelling.
After pocketing about sl60 from the
victims he took the cartridges out of
their pistols for his own use and returned
the empty pistols to their owners. He
then took Winchester rifle from his
baggage, and with that in his hand and
two revolvers in his belt. bade Snow and
Kelly good bye. with the admonition not
to follow him for fear Of that full ll-loaded
Winchester.
On account Of the floods in the Coyote
Creek. MIR. Chandler. who went to the
scene as soon as he could hear Of the
robbery, did not. arrive back to the city

was placed in the Sheriff's hands. A

1he ouddy Investigation.

There are always some qusrulous pec-
people in this world, and there are those
who object q the vindication which was
rightfaliy accorded to the Chief Of Po-
lice by the City Council At their meeting
on Tuesesy, the 18th Of February. That
body could not we'll have done less.
Hearssy and animadversion with intelli-
gent people. amount to very little.
There has been. in aweekly pub
LEGATION, an arraignmsnt Of the
course Of City Attorney Stephenson in
this matter-an arrAigument which can
non be sustained in the forum Of an in.
telligent public opinion. The facts are
8 foilows.
A certified copy Of the minutes Of the
meeting Of the Council Of February llth.
1884. reads:
''On motion Of Mr. Niles. tho City At
torney was requested to assist the Coun-
Gil in the matter OF the investigation Of
charges against the Chief Of Police TO-
morrow"
'On motion Of Mr.. BAllade, the Mayor
was alss requested to assist."
1t was the duty Of City Attorney
Stephenson to do al that the Council
ordered in that behalf. and nsihiss else;
and under the above order It was clearly
not more the duty Of the City Attorney
thsn the duty Of the Mayor. and OBJ
viously not the duty Of either officer TO
prosecute T. J. Cuddy. 1t was only the
duty Of the City Attorney to decide for
the Council all legal questions presented,
and to examine the witnesses in an i'm
partial way, so as to elicit all they knew
against the Chief Of Police, and all they
knew in his favor, pertinent to the
charges before the Council.
A reporter Of the HERALD was present
at the examination. and speaks Of his
own knowledge in saying that City At
torney Stephenson examined all the
presenting witnesses in such way -
to afford them every opportunity to state
all they knew against T. J. Cuddy. and
II they withheld anything IL was the
fault Of the witnesses alone.
Mr.. Stephenson informs US that ho
never heard Of any proposal to bring
Col Wells into the case. except in the
columns Of the Times. and that was the
day after the Investigation.

The lumber ordered for the Raymond
Hotel will require four ships to transport
It to San Pedro, and from San Pedro to
San Gabriel it will require 200 railroad
cars to carry the same to its destination.
This freight will make train two miles
long, and would load 1000 teams that
would occupy distance in straight
line Of twenty milea. This is an impress
sivs statement Of the magnitude Of the

CAUSE of the Ischia Disaster

The volcanoes have good deal Of
business put upon them just now, be-
tween earth and sky, but II is doubted in
well.informed quarters u the disaster at
CasAmaccia Wa ct all due to volcanic
Agency. Il il sAid that the delicate ap-
paratus on Mount Vesuviua which is ar
ranged to give warning ct any change In
the liability Of the surface, allowed no
signs Of any perturbation. Tho newer
and apparently better founded theory V
that the ground was undermined by the
action Of hot springs. and that the town
stood upon mere crslst OF earth, which
gave way at the tlne OF the disaster.
