has appropriated large sum for the
improvement of Humboldt Harbor is
q great inducement, and Mr.. Hun
tington is credited with saying before
his departure for the East, that the
road would certainly be constructed.
The question now is, which rou'e to
take. Red Bluff is considered the
most feasible spot to start from and
an offer has been made by Mr.. AL
bert Gallater to construct the road
from that point over his property of
so, 900 acres at his own expense on
conditions that the Southern Pacific
operate and extent the line. As
he is warm personal friend OF Mr.
Huntington, it is probable that this
offer will be accepted. This route
would follow the stage road to the old
Indian reservation, twenty-five miles
away, then go along the banks Of Red
Bank creek and into the coast range
south of Yallo Valley Peaks. There
are several good passes then to the
Eel or Mud rivers.

THE WHITTIER ROAD.
what Baldgin,s Recent Grant
gHeAns.

The right Of way conveyed by f. J.
Baldwin ON April both to the Long
Beach, Whittier and Los Angeles
Company Railroad through the
Ranches La Merced, Posrero Grande,
Potrero Chico and Potrero de Felipe
Lugo was not, as was surmised,
intended for the Whittier road.
The incorporation papers of this line
read over number Of routes and on
one OF these is to be constructed the
Southern Pacific's new main line from
the Wolfskill depot to FL Monte. The
right-of-way granted by Baldwin is
therefore for the Southern Pacific and
gives that line connection with the
present main track at FL Monte.
When work will be commenced on
this line is not yet settled, as there
are several details yet to be attended
to. The Whittier line proper will be
extended to connection with this
new overland rack which misses the
Quaker City" by only three or four
miles.

The Divorce Evil.

The divorce laws Of most of the States
are very lax, and probably in no two States
are they alike. Those of South Carolina
are more stringent than those of any other
State In that State it is difficult to obtain
a divorce. but in about all of the other
States one can be obtained easily and
quickly.
These loose divorce laws are injurious to
society. They detract from the sacredness
of the marriage tie, and are productive of
untold misery in the shape of wrecked
homes and ruined families
There is a great deal of comment in Louis
vile, KY, just now about the large number
of divorces granted in that city. The time
of the courts is largely consumed by them
One day last week five absolute DEGREES
were granted and three new suits filed, and
on the next day three suits were added to
the list. Litigation Of this nature is all
the time increasing in Louisville, and it is
said that statistics for the past five years
show the proportion to be much greater
than in other cities. One reason of this is
that people so from other States to Louis
vile to get divorces. They remain there
only long enough to obtain them. A REM
edy for the divorce evil is quite generally
demanded, and Louisville is said TO favor
a general divorce law There isstrong OBJ
lection to interference by Congress, the
chief of which is that federal legislation on
the subject would tend to centraliza-
ton. 1t is probable, however, that the
people will gradually become recouciled to
it, finding that the different States fail to
put proper restrictions upon the growing
evil The interstate commerce law has the
same tendency, but its enactment seemed
TO be expedient and its operations have
been productive of good. Congress may
not pass general divorce law very soon,
but the probability is that it will do SO in
the near future. The Kentucky Legisla-
ture which is now in session should amend
the States divorce laws. The people of that
State would doubtless approve of legisla-
ton of that kind.

Why They Leave the Farm.
From the Homkeye.

''Why do the boys leave the farm" walls
writer in agricultural journal. Well, dear
brother, there are several reasons. One is be-
cause the boy is not 65 years old at his birth
Then. if there is a hoe on the farm weighing ID
ounces, bright as nickel-plate and sharp as a
razor and another hoe weighing somewhat less
than breaking pillow, with an edge on it like a
hammer, and sapling with the bark on it for
handle, the hired man takes one and the boy
gets the other, and every man in America
knows which is the other Did you ever stand
with such hoe in your hands away down in a
corn row some aireSs, still. hot summer day,
twenty acres Of corn blades and tassels whiting
about you, standing fourteen inches higher than
your head, shutting out every last trace of
breathable air, and then hear locust down in
the edge of the timber strike up his long, str-
dent, monotonous call to m Ike it ten times hot
terg And all this time cool creek not mile
away, lettering in deep, silent pools in shady
places in the woods or breaking into merry
dancing ripples over the pebbles? Aud in the
deep holes, the fish just lying around waiting
for boy? Well, then, you know why some
boys leave the farm. Still, boys can be kept on
the farm and made to stay there all their lives.
You drive long spike through a boys abdomen
and through hive oak tree, and clinch or bolt
it on the other side, and then saw off the boy
legs and break his back, and he will stay on the
farm Yes, there are some other ways we know,
but this is the only infall;ble method

Cotton Fires.

The Liverpool journal Of Commerce of
on The Spontaneous Combustion Of
Cotton In the article the question
Of the probability of cotton becoming
ignited from spontaneous heating is dis
cussed at length. and the conclusion reached
that cotton fires are not due to that. The
theory that the fires are caused by matches
carelessly dropped in the cotton from the
pockets on hair Of those engaged in slowing
1t is considered, AMI while it is admitted
that there is something to support it, the
weight Of opinion, based upon investigations
and experiments, is thought to be against 1T.
After discussing the spontaneous conf
bustlon, the match, the spark, the oil and
other theories without finding any of them
satisfactory, the article continues: 1.-The
actual cause of cotton fires must be looked
for in other directions altogether. We could
enumerate nineteen reasons why cotton
should be burned. Money is made by these
CONGREGATIONS, Mr.. Stanley Metcalf, Score
tary of the North Of England Indemnity
Association, in an affidavit produced at the
inquiry by Mr.. Cough, of the solicitors
office in the Board of Trade with
reference to the ship Horseguards, men
toned that the commission of ~ per cent.
for collecting the general average was, &C
cording to usage, a proper charge. In prac-
tice the charge was customary, and was
an emolument Of the ships agent, whether
he or the adjuster made the collection.
Then Mr.. Metcalf deposed that custody
commission was charge made by ships
agents at the shipping ports or ports
of refuge, and for which he had known
agents to claim 5000 or 41,000 for
services which would have been amply
covered by fee of five or six guineas
The custody commission, therefore, offered
a strong inducement to the ships agents TO
influence the master TO consent to the dis
charging of his cargo; and the 215 per cent
commission for collecting general and spe-
cial charges was another strong inducement
to a ships agent to have a cargo broken up
at the port of distress. In confederation of
that statement, Capt. Reaveley, of the Res
olute, was called, and he certified that the
cost incurred by the owners of that ship in
consequence of the fire was S2S 900, of
which $1,000 was claimed for custody
commission But cotton takes fire in
warehouses, on wharves, and at presses, and
in a most suspicious manner; and there are
so many people to reap advantages from
fires that we repeat our former suggestion,
to the effect that the United States govern
ment should engage experts to probe the
whole affair"

The Weighing Machine Beaten
From the Baltimore Herald.


1t happened the other day in a well-known
Light street saloon. A party of four gentleman
had just taken very close observation through
the bottom of some fine cut glasses, when one
of them happening to look around saw few
feet away one of those little machines with a
sign containing the legend: Drop nickel and
get your weight"
Machinery lays over everything" he remark
ed philosopically. Now you couldn't beat that
scale
Yes, you can, spoke up one of the others.
Bet You can't" retorted the first speaker.
diving his hand into his vest pocket.
al take that
A bet was quickly arranged. The man who
thought he could beat the machine then asked
the bartender for s0pe mucilage and put a
thick coating of it on the nickel. The piece of
money thus prepared was dropped into the slot
ana instead Of sliding down after releasing the
spring which controls the mechanism stuck
fast.
Within the next minute each of the four gen
tlemen knew how much he weighed without
dropping nickel every time, and the machine
was still open for business.
