not THOU, BUT I.

It must have been for one q US my own
TO drink this cup, and eat this bitter bread,
Had not my tears upon thy face been shed.
Thy tears had dropped on mine; If alone
Did not walk now, thy spirit wonld have
Ny loneliness, and did my feet not tread
This weary path and steep, thy feet had bled
For mine, and thy mouth had for mine made
moan.
To think of thy eternity of sleep,
To know thine eyes are fearless though mine
weep;
And when this cups last bitterness drain
One thought shall still it's primal sweetness
keep;
Thou hadst the peace, and l the undying pain.

with that of the white pasha' as given by
the natives who reported his presence in the

M0rmons 1T Work.

Attention has been called to the arrival at
New York of a party ofMormon converts from
Sweden by the rescue of a young girl from
the party by her sister. Emma Nilsson. aged
fifteen, and q typical Swede as to purity of
complexion and yellowness of hair, ad been
sent on her way to Salt Lake City by her
parents, who intended to follow her later;
but her elder sister Ida, who had lived in
Brooklyn a year or two, induced the Castle
Garden authorities to deliver the fair
convert into her charge temporarily,
but Emma declares her answering
devotion to Mormonism and means
to get off for completion of her journey to
Utah as soon as possible. ''Are you engaged
to marry Elder Hagsberg, the man who tried
to keep you with the Mormon immigrants"
she was asked. II cannot answer that ques-
tion." Emma replied. 1--WE were all pledged
not to say anything to outsiders about
matrimony while on the journey" But Ida
Nilsson asserted positively that Emma was
afianced to Hagsberg, as were two other
young women in the party. There were sew
enty=two of the Swedish converts, and they
were accompanied by 149 freshly made Nor
mons from other countries, principally Eng
land. They have gone on their journey to Salt
Lake. The Swedes were from the province OF
Blekings, and were brought to an acceptance
of polygamy by the preaching of Hagsberg,
native of that section, who has been two
years tnere ab the WORK. lie ndu le1G
Sweden widower about twenty years be-
fore. but lie had taken three wives in Utah.
Five of the women whom he converted.
according to Emma's confession, were to
become members of his household. really his
wives, although in order to evade prosecu-
ton they would purport to be hired work
ers. A curious instance of conjugal irregu-
larity was in the English contingent Elder
Abram Johnson, who had charge of the en-
tire company, had been six months proselyt-
ing in the southern counties of England. and
about half hundred of the immigrants were
his personal converts. Most of the dozen
families brought over by him to tho faith
had come with the understanding. between
the husbands and wives, that polygamy was
not to be INDUCED in. But there was one
remarkable exception. John and Charles
Laird, brothers, were accompanied each by
wife. John did not propose to practice the
Mormon doctrine OF polygamy, but Charles
accepted it as obligatory. 1t happened that
Charles Wife would not consent to sharing
husband with other women, while John
wife had no objection to it. The arrange
ment was therefore made that John and
Charles should swap wives, and they did SO
upon setting out upon their voyage to
America.

Corruption at Alaska.

Chester Seeber, formerly United States COM
missioner for Alaska at Ounalaska, sent to
the house committee on merchant marine
a letter concerning the Alaska company
and the seal fisheries which the committee
now has under investigation. He claims
that the company. uses the powerof its con-
tract with the government to monopoli3e the
whole trade of Western Alaska, to oppress
the inhabitants of that country .and to re-
tard its Development.
he says, "Is done through the rivers and
Behring SEQ Mt the instance of the company,
and any vessel found there is searched and
any furs which it may be found to contain.
in whatever manner obtained, are seized and
sold. This prevents trade with the country,
and results in most cases in irreparable loss.
Mr.. Seeber also accuses the company OF
freezing out a competitor by raising the
prices of skins above the London price, and
lowering them again when the competitor
had been driven from the field.
The company, he says, prevents the de-
velopment of the adjacent country by dis
couraging prcspectors and miners and re-
fasing to sell them food when they are In
need.
The letter was read before the committee.
Mr.. Mcintyre. superintendent of the company,
said that the company had paid rather
high price for fur when a rival appeared in
the field. but he thought this legitimate. He
said that Seeber owed the company ~, 900
for rent and money borrowed when he left its
employ.
Alonxo Y. Hyde, of Salt Lake City, was
found half crazed with liquor in Pickctt's
Hotel, at New York. When arrested he was
violent. Two policemen were hardly able to
drag him to the station house. He had 5000
in his purse. In the court next morning he
said that he came to New York one week ago
with SIS, 900, which he spent in doing ..'the
town." Mr. Hyde is q member of the famous
Mormon family of Hydes.

ported to grain lying in stacks in the field,

A damnable plot to destroy much vaIu-
able property, and in all probability
human life, was that accidentally discoy-
cred yesterday afternoon by man
named Burt, proprietor of little fruit
store on the west side Of Main street.
four houses from the corner of Washing
ton street.
Recently three new stores have been
built at the point indicated. A saloon.
drug store and Burt's fruit store occupy
the premises. In the rear of Burt's store
he has had erected little frame stable
and therein has been won't to house his
valuable horse, wagon and different ar
ticles of merchandise, boxes and the like.
Fearful that q fire might occur on his
premises on the Fourth, Burt removed
his horse and wagon on the previous
night to stable up street. After the
Fourth Burt concluded to move his rig
back. Pending doing SO he proceeded t.
thoroughly clean out the stable, come
|mencing this work at little after thres
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. When hs
started in to clean out the manger in TIA
single stall of his stable, Burt was sur
prised to End can slowed away under.
meath the feed-box. He lifted out ths
can and was startled to find piece q
fuse hanging from its side. Burt
carefully opened the lid of the
can and found It filed nearly
to the brim with giant powder. The can
contained fully three pounds of the terri
BILE explosive. He carefully placed the can
and fuse back where he had found them
and then notified Police Head quart
ers.
Chief Cuddy despatched Officers
O'Brien and Luis Arnaz to the scene.
The Main street beat is partrolled by
Officer Dunno. When O'Brien and
Arnaz reached Burt's place they found
the can and fuse just as Burt had left
it. They determined to lie in wait for
the would-be anarchist, and telling
Dunno to keep away from Burt's prem
ises, they concealed themselves. Much
to the chagrin of the officers they found
that Dunno persisted in towering about
the place. Ttey waited until past
midnight and then, assumeing that the
guilty party had noted Dunn's appear
ance and fed, they returned to the
Police Station, bringing with them the
fuse. The can of powder they stored
away at the fruit store.
Questioned regarding who might have
placed the deadly stuff where it was
found, Burt said he could not even
imagine. He knew of no man who was
his enemy. His business had prospered,
and he said he had reason to believe he
was popular tradesman with the neigh
borhood. His horse and wagon he
estimated worth $3.50.
Had the fiend who placed the terrible
explosive there, been able, undetected to
ignite it, calamity the awful result of
which can be far better imagined than
described must needs have followed.
Chief Cuddy says he is determined to
sift the matter to the bottom, and to-day
detectives will go to work on the case.

Yesterday member OF the HERALD's
staff had occasion to visit Downey City.
AS his business required but little time to
transact, and as he had to wait several
hours for the afternoon train from Santa
Ana by which to return to the city, he
took the fine opportunity offered to get a
little data about the place. And when
you want to know about the resources Of
town, where do you go but to the rail
road station and get the shipments Of pro-
duce and the receipts of merchandise
If you know that the agent at such
town is Mr.. J. X. Banks, or any
man of his intelligence and courtesy you
go all the more confidently that you
will get what you want, get it in good
shape, and get it without any trouble.
Finding Mr.. Banks in the office, the
newshunter made known his desires and
at once was furnished with the following
exhibit of the business done by the
Southern Pacific Company at that point

Merchandise ..................... LASS, ,76O
Here is q grand total of 1924 1886
pounds Of produce shipped from Dow
ney City in six months. That is at the
rate of 1925, $50 pounds for year.
The receipts Of merchandise aggregate
1891, ,105 pounds.
RICH RESOURCES.
But elaborate as the above statement
is half it's force is lost unless the reader
observes intelligently what large part
of the produce consists Of. There are
three wineries in Downey. These crushed
z, 500 tons of grapes last year. The av-
erage output Of wine is $50 gallons to the
ton of grapes. Here is no less than
3S4, 900 gallons of the precious
juices Of the generous grape. Sound
wines are worth 18 cents per gallon.
The value then of the grape crop of
Downey is nearly $4,000. How many
Western wheat farmers will it take on
the average to pocket gross sum of
$4,000 for single crop of one year? ?
But the story is still left half told. A
large part of this wine was distilled into
brandy. By this means another incre-
ment Of value was added to the product,
SO that in all certainty Downey people
got in all not less than 500, 900 for their
grape crop of the year 1887.
How much an acre will grape-growing
return to the grower? Seven tons
to the acre is q fair aver
age. At $50 gallons to the ton we get
1850 gallons to the acre. At IS cents q
gallon there is an income of $3.50 per
acre. But do the wine-growers get this !?
Yes they do, if they are enterprising
and as intelligent as those about Downey
City. These vignerons have co-opera-
grapes and make their own wine. More
this way they make 5000 an acre profit
| Nor has the count yet exhausted the
riches of Downey City. Besides the
products Of their vineyards, the people
Of this fertile section shipped away no
less than twenty carloads of walnuts.
The aggregate was 400, 900 pounds. The
return in cash was over $50 900. A good
walnut orchard will pay interest-big in
terest on 81 800 an acre.
Has Downey City anything more to
boast Of in the way of crop? Well, yes
q little. There are now in the warehouse
/ at that place 100 carloads of last years
corn. This means 1000 tons
of corn, and in centals it num-
bers 10000. The corn is worth
$25, 900. This is merely the fag end Of
the crop which has been carried ovel
/ from last autumn. It is only fraction
of the crops grown on these rich lands.
Many Downey farmer harvests $5(
worth of corn to the acre. On these
same lands the farmers cut six crops o
alfalfa a vaar The ot1tnvft ia NOT lesi
{ than two tons to the acre per crop, O
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-06
twelve tons per year. 1t is worth $40
per ton-a snug income OF $50 per acre.

NEVER HAD BOOM
Poor Downey! She never had a boom
and she is not likely to have. When other
people were breaking their necks to sell
land to the tenderfeet, the Downeyites
would not sell at any price offered. They
saw prices 60 up to $25 an acre with per-
feet composure. The values got to $50
an acre, the Downey people went on
planting vines and walnut trees, growing
pumpkins and potatoes in the even tenor
OF their way. Others wondered when
lands got to cell for 500 an acre, but
the solid people of Downey were not
staggered. The prices rose to 5000, still
the farmers along the damplands went on
pocketing that much per year per acre, and
would not sell their farms. They are
not selling yet. They will not sell
much for sometime to come. These
lands will in no long time DO worth $500
per acre in their natural state. With
vines and trees they will be worth twice,
three times and four times that figure.
WHAT DowNEY HAS.
There are about 700 people within a
mile OF the postoffice at Downey City.
There are four, perhaps six times as
many more in the immediate vicinity.
There are churches, schools, a bank,
stores and such like concom-
itants of a fourishing neighborhood.
The Southern Pacific Company
has recently built here one of the pretti-
est depots in the State. It is 206 feet
long by 46 feet wide. 1t has a large
freight room, waiting room, baggage
room, etc. 1t is in charge Of Mr.. j. X.
Banks, most courteous and efficient Of
fetal.
One of Downey's latest acquisitions is
big Democratic club. There are
100 voters on the roll. When
the Steve White welcome-home
takes place they will all be in the
city in uniform, with torches, banners
and transparencies, and they will whoop
it up in great style for Cleveland and re
form, for Thurman and the old bandana,
and for Steve White and the st. Louis
Convention. Keep your eye on Downey.
The Nation is going to hear OF it politi-
cally and materially. Downey is all
right!
