A vigilance Committee.

The tramp nuisance has become so
great here in Riverside that our fruit
growers have found il necessary to take
the law into their own hands TO protect
their crops OF fruit. While we deprecate
anything like the administration of JUS
iice outside the prescribed forms Of law,
there occasionally occurs a time when
the end justities the means, and little
lynching il necessary becomes a good
thing.
The move in Riverside is being done
very quietly, and. having got upon the
inside of the movement through pledge
of secrecy, we publish Just what we are
allowed to publish and no more.
One night last week secret meeting
of fruit growers was held, which was
quite well attended by some Of our most
solid men. They resolved to protect
their orchards from the depredations OF
tlamps even though it become necessary
to use violence to carry ont their object
A vigilance committee was formed, and
an executive committee was appointed to
carry out the plans Of the main commit
tee.
They propose that orange stealing shall
stop, aud the first good opportunity that
offers M example will be made.
If some morning our people wake up
and find dead tramp hanging to the
end of rope thrown over the limb of
one of our large shade trees, they may
conclude that on the previous evening
some of our solid citizens were out at.

II there is any way to suppress va

Weather NOtes.

The temperature of yesterday was 80 ,
a most remarkable height for the third
day of December. On the previous day
it was S0.2'. For the month of Novem'
ber the average temperature was 59.5
Only one November in eight years has
been ms warm as the past month. That
was in 1884. when the average tempera-
ture was 500. AT Portland, Oregon,
the temperature was AZ, Olympia 46' ,
Red Bluff So, Sacramento "a, San Diego
IS and San Francisco 81. 1t will be
seen that Los Angeles maintains the
highest average temperature of all the
within-named Signal Service Stations.
In the matter of rainfall, the down
pour for the month was $50 inches for
Los Angeles for November while at
Red Bluff the fall was II inches; at Sac.
ramento, II 80 inches; at San Francisco,
IL 80 inches; at Olympia, TO- 20 inches;
Portland, $50 inches; while San
Diego shows up | 60 inches. 1t appears
that the rainfall of Los Angeles is happy
medium between all the rain stations
mentioned. While the fall here has
been less than at some places it has been
lust enough to thoroughly prepare the
earth for cultivation during the plowing
season, to bring forth a large crop OF
grasses and insure a heavy grain crop.
As the favorite place for rainfall and
even temperature Los Angeles is in the
front rank of cities.

DEEPEST DEpRAyITY.
sad shanneiessness OF "a Mother
and Daughter.


A story gained currency yesterday Of
a young girl in Sonora Town. Of her
mother. and Of gang Of Cinnamon who
frequented the saloon kept by the
mother. The details are too dreadfully
and disgustipgly depraved for publica.
tion in the columns of a newspaper
meant for family reading.
Briefly, the mother is a Belgian,
whose husband died here some years
ago, when the mother returned to
Europe and came back later. bringiog
the girl. She has since kept one Of the
most Objectionable dives in Sonora
Town, resort for Cinnamon in scores.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning
for some reason the girl, who is now
about Is years old, very pretty and re-
markably petite for her age, left the
maternal domicile and took refuge with
a Chinaman.
Here an officer arrested her, put her
in Jail and informed her mother. Later
in the day the girl was released because
there had been no human law
DTOhen. no bui sdhtcu that Suo
had run away because her mother
maltreated her. She freely acknowl-
edged her partiality for the Acknowledged
MongoI. From the reports 1t appears
that the mother has deliberately taught
and encouraged the girl to carry on
most vile and shameless trade with
large gang of these heathen. The par
ticular one in question speaks English
well, an accomplishment he has learned
at the Mission Sunday School. The sa.
cred mysteries of the Christian religion
he sneeringly said he could not believe.
Its moral precepts seem to have been as
Objectionable to his nature.
The girl was turned loose and is now
probably with her yellow paramour. and
It is difficult to see which of the three
in this horrid story is most depraved
and shameless. The whole thing is a
disgrace to our civilization and to our
race

Circulating Library.

We have opened in the Mott Market
House Bazaar No. Circulating Lii
brary on new plan, and great saving
to our patrons. Our system may lie out
lined as follows; The purchaser buys
say, for instance, a 20 cent number of
the Seaside Library, receives with it a
blue check which entities him. on the
return of the book with the ticket and a
payment of 10 cents, TO another 20 cent
number. With this number he gets a
yellow ticket. On the return of the
second book, together with the yellow
ticket, he is entitled to third 20 cent
number free Of chargei This the
buyer is entitled to keep; or, if he
wishes to return it, he is allowed for it
10 cents on another number. etc. Thus
the reading public can see that person
can obtain 80 cents worth of the most
popular reading matter for 20 cents
merely.
Come, everybody. and see us. We
make a speciality of news matter in
every department; take orders for any
thing and everything in our line, and
use pains in filling them with prompt
ness and satisfaction to our patrons.
