Look Mt Your CELLARS

Do not forget in the great hurry of spring
work TO look after the sanitary condition Of
your house and surroundings. Ifyou have u
cellar see that no vegetables are left to decay
in it-a peck Of potatoes and a cabbage head
or two can get up just as big case of malaria
as hundred acre frog swamp that may lie
handy to help the chills to get hold of n
farmer and his family. Cleanliness and tidi-
ness about place are worth much more than
than the good looks they bring it-thcy are
q great help to good health.

he may put in or what industry he
may prefer to try, there is good de-
mand for local consumption for all he

man who buys ten acres OF good soil

five years to come. 1t will cost him,
as stated above, $4,000. AT

SOUTH CALIFORNIA offers to-day the
best opening in the Union tor large
number of experienced, practical far
mers who will each take up small por-
tion of her most excellent soil, and j,
making his home on it, proceed to
tickle the soil judiciously, in order to
cause it to smile in prolific and profit
able crops. Five to ten acres is all
one wants to handle. To secure good
results the buyer must be careful and
select good soil, indisputable rights to
water, and in place not too far from
. railroad station. He can get all
these elements of success and not
pay more than 5000 or $3.50 per acre
for the land. Suppose he pur-
chases ten acres for $4,000, and has
another $1,000 to put up small
house, get a horse. COW and other
little havings. We heard of a man
yesterday who had bought such a

why" said Bill Yates TO HER
AID reporter yesterd ay, it's perfectly
awful the mud in our streets. As Il
vent into Susand's to get shaved this
morning truck loaded with goods
was stalled in front of the barber shop
and crowd of fellows were prying it
out OF the slough with heavy pieces of
scantling. An hour or two afterwards,
as l passed down Spring street in front
of.Phillips' new building, 1 saw the
same truck again stalled and another
gang OF men trying to extricate it from
the bog in which it had again got
fastened. 1 shall pass along First
street tomorrow morning and keep a
sharp lookout, for 1 expect to see the
same truck somewhere along there in
another dilemma. If that truckman
has far to 60 there will be dearth of
merchandise in the store to which his
load is consigned before it is de-
liyered.

CITIZENS of the third ward of this
city will learn with much regret of the
retirement Of Mr.. G. r. johnson from
the City Council. Mr.. johnson has
always enjoyed the confidence of the
people who knew him. In the coun-
Gil he has always developed intelli-
gent views in all municipal matters.
He has been known as perfectly sim
cere in all his actions therein, and he
has been useful member of such
comm ittees as he served on.

A PROPOSITION which has been for
mulated by the City Council to sell a
couple of the new school bonds in or
der to test the legality of issuing these
tokens OF municipal Indebtedness, is
the proper thing to do. The only mis-
take in the matter is that such step
should have been made months ago.
There seems no good reason to doubt
that the city has perfect right to is
sue these bonds and the sewer bonds
too. But the fact that question has
been made of such right, is al
ways sufficient to prevent cap
ital from being invested in such
securities. The only way to
dispel all doubts is to submit the
matter to the proper courts. Taking
this view Of the matter, we lcng ago
suggested the mode of procedure now
proposed, and we are glad to see the
Council at last take the matter up for
such action. The need OF more school
room is very pressing, and will be
more SO next year. The sewers are
prime necessity, the neglect of
which for any length of time will be
disastrous.

SECRETARY OF State Bayard is
greatly misrepresented by the Re-
publican press, and by the Republi-
can politicians. To take their view of
this member OF the Cabinet one would
get very erroneous impression OF
his abilities. In the matter OF Chinese
restriction he comes much nearer see
ing the question from Pacific Coast
point of view than any man from the
East has seen it heretofore. Even
should the proposed treaty fall
through there is every reason to think
Mr.. Bayard will be able so to
modify the present practical working
of the old convention as to pre-
vent the illegal entrance OF
the Mongol which is now nullify-
ing the Restriction law. He very
perth emily points out way to ac-
complish this. Under the present
methods when a Chinaman wishes
to return to China, a certificate is
made out which entities the holder TO
return again to the United States. This
paper contains, among other things,
an accurate description Of the holder
thereof. This is taken to China,
where in case of fraudulent sale of
it, a person can easily be found who
bears a close resemblance to the
description. Secretary Bayard sug
gests that this is working the
matter in the wrong direction.
He would hold the description of the
returning Mongol in this country.
The certificate would contain merely
a check by which to identify the doc
ument retained in our port. 1t is easy
to see that such change in the meth
DDS of dealing with this. business
would greatly increase the difficulty
Of fraudulent entries. With the de-
scliption here, and no way Of ascer-
tanning in China what marks or fea-
lures were incorporated for the pur-
pose of Identification, it would be hard
to find suitable counterfeit present.

AMONG the most significant signs of
the times is the fierce and persistent
war being waged all over California
upon the vermin which have infested
the State. The climate proves its ex-
cellence in the way OF elements most
favorable to lie in ways that are not
always advantageous. The same cir
cumstances which make it possible
for us to raise two crops year, which
produce the biggest yield of corn and
wheat in the Union, and the fastest
horsefesh in the land, which enable
us to pick ripe Strawberries in mid
winter, and big oranges all
the days of the year, are just as IA
vorable to the breeding and multiply
ing of insects harmful to vegetation,
and of vermin pests which prey upon
our crops, making the work of the
farmer and orchardist more difficult
than should be, and the reward OF
labor less than they would be. Rabbits
and squirrels multiply and devastate
the earth as they do in no other sec
ton. Trees, vines and grain crops
all alike suffer from these little ma
rauders to such an extent that young
vineyards are sometimes actually
destroyed by them, root and
branch. The old settler did not
make much of an effort to rid his
ranch of timid bunny or the robust
gronnd squirrel. His acreage was OF
SO wide extent that few acres more
or less devoured by vermin did not
matter much. With the subdivision
of the big ranches into well titled
farms of ten to twenty acres each, and
with the later planting of trees and
vines, this is all changed. On these
small holdings every acre, yes, every
square foot of land comes to have an

squirrel must 60, and all over the
State parties are being organized for
systematic war on the pests. Cam
paignes are made from time to time.
and in some cases many
CT rabbits are killed in a
few hours. A tight fence enclosure is
ma e from the entrance to which
wing fences are carried out, Hanging
for a mile or so. Five hundred men
and boys turn out in some of these
parties, and drive all before them,
first within the fences and finally into
the corral where indiscriminate
slaughter is practised upon the prey.
This is good movement and
ought to be taken up in all sections of
the State where agricu ture is becom-
ing of so great importance. With the
rabbit the ground squirrel should be
attacked with the same persistent and
merciless war. Other portions of the
Union has had similar difficulties, but
such pests a infested them were dis
posed OF by one means or other. We
can rid our State of all such vermin if
we will keep up this determined at.

REPORTS of the most terrific snow
storm of the season as prevailing over
many of the eastern States, blockad-
ing railroads, prostrating business in
general, and tanning the people cold,
details OF which may be found in the
HERALD this morning, contrast most
unfavora bly, for that region with the
really ETHEREAL mildness which we are
experiencing in this section. Our
March days not only know no touch
of frost, but, going far beyond that
negative point, our weather at this
period advances to pitch of absolute
perfection, such as blesses no other
portion of the footstool OF
the Most High. The days are
bright and sunny, the thermometer
reaching at midday into the seventies,
and sinking at night not below 45
degrees. 1t is now getting rather late
in the season to look for such ex-
treme weather as that reported in our
dispatches. Winter fingers in the lap
of spring with rather dire results
under such meteorological conditions
as these. The matter is here referred
to in order to call attention to the ele-
ment in our life which will
most assuredly do in the
future what it has done for us in the
past. While so great difference, eli
matically, exists between the Atlantic
and the Pacific coast, we may look
for just such an influx Of people in
quest OF homes as has been filling up
our waste places SO rapidly during
the current decade. Mark it'io letters
OF vermilion where he who runs may
read: There will he no returning ebb
in this flowing tide of immigrants
such as has been seeking the semi
tropics, until there is no more room
for another millionaire, who, having
made his fol tune, wishes to find
peace from battling with Arctic
winters, and until the last opportunity
OF making a living by supplying these
people has been seized upon by that
other larger class Of citizens who still
are obliged to earn their bread by
work OF head or hand. Equally all
classes will wish to rest here, or, if
rest is not obtainable, to work il a
cline which does not exhaust ones
energies and means at once in fierce
fight for life.

SOME new Daniel come to judgment

SOME new Daniel come to judgment
tries to make out in an evening con-
temporary that jefferson was not the
ia ther and founder OF the Democratic
party. The Presidential election Of
1900 was thrown into the House, and
the Republicans, which was the name
of the party of liberal eas at that
time, elected Jefferson. In 1905,
during Jefferson's second term,
the Republicans dropped their name
and accepted that of Democrats" "
In all their earlier strifes they had
been charged by their ponents with
desiring to run to the extremes of the
democratic or "mob rule," and fear
of too general belief in the truth of
the charge had led them 10 denials
and rejection of a name which Jeffer-
son, the father of their party, had
ever shown q fondness for. From
the Ninth Congress the Jefer-
sonian Republicans called themselves
Democrats, and this it has remained
down to the present time. The un-
derlying principles of the party have
never changed however they may
have been misrepresented at times by
false leaders and false exponents.
The rule Of the majority, popular
SO vereignty, conservation of all the
rights of the States not relinquished
to the Federal Court, taxation for
revenue with incidental protection are
some of the cardinal principles that
are now and have ever been tenets OF
the Democratic party.

s'Thc Gypsy Baron" at The Op.
era House.


Conried's English Opera Company
appeared for the first time in this city
at the Grand Opera House last night,
with Johann Strauss Gypsy Baron
as the attraction. There has been no
opera company heretofore in Los An
geles which has made so artistic at
tention to the points-the costumes
and the setting of a piece. There have
been more gorgeous dressing many
times, but none more true to the reali-
ties and demands of the occasion. The
dressing of the Gypsies is very real
istic; the setting is quite as COM
mendable. 1t was a rest to the eyes,
so long tired of looking at the same
scenes, to dwell for an hour on the
charming pictures -pxesented in the
Gypsy Baron.
There was a little flaw in the cast
last night, owing to the illness of Nj.
Gustavus II. Hall, whose place
was taken with rather in
different success by Mr.. Harold
Leslie, whose place was filled
IA tui IL Wy 6iA AiOlh ollC CllOt uo
who, by the way, made an acceptable
''Ottocar."
The voice of the company is the
soprano, Miss LouiselBianchi. This
young lady has a very pleasing stage
presence, and she sings remarkably
we'll. She made neat hit in one oi
the airs she sang last night
The next most prominent figure in
the cast is Jacques Kruger-who does
not know him and his Fun in Pho.
tograph Galleryf AS the pig raiser in
the Baron, he is as irresistibly funny
and as artistic il his comedy as he was
of yorc in his Gallery.
The parts OF a Gypsy Baron which
call on the services of the chorus
are well done by this company
The chorus is large, and they are not
dummies. In all the ensembles-and
there are score of them-they made
a big concord of sound.
The house which greeted the initial
performance is doubtless but har-
binger of similar crowds for all the
nights of the week. The Baron
holds the boards tonight.

any rate, Secretary Bayard is develop
ing an interest in this matter, as well
as a wisdom in dealing with it which
are very conspicuous as compared
with the Indifference of his predeces-
