The Boom of the SiIver.Tongued
Tom Fttch-The Los Angeles and

Joseph u. Crawford = Gala
Times-Remintscen
Now that Santa Monica is again com.
| ing into notice, aud the building of a
competing railroad has given it promise
OF new boom, it may perhaps be inter
esting to newcomers to Los Angeles to
give chapter OF the earlier experiences
of the place.
In 1S74-75 Senator John P. Jones, of
Nevada, was at the zenith of his fortune.
He had made millions which were often
rated as high as fifteen in his Crown
Point and other lucky ventures; and,
being man OF irrepressible energy, he
started in to employ than in number
of expansive schemes, all of which
looked we'll on paper, and some of which
had substantial merit. 1t was about
this time that he built the Hammam
baths in San Francisco, bought the
artificial ice-making patents, establish
ing machines for making ice in New
Orleans and all over the United States,
In fact, purchased the st. James hotel in
New York, a three-quarter interest in the
Santa Monica San Vicente ranch, the
Kernville mine and mining claims in
Panamint, and the Lord knows what all,
besides. The Nevada Senator is one of
the most liberal of men, is good hearted
to fault and is withal public-spirited to
the point of imprudence.

THE PANAMINT MINES.

In the winter of 1874-75, Senator Jones
looked upon his interest in the newly
discovered mining claims at Panamint,
as the biggest thing of the kind on the
American continent. He was of the
opinion that untold millions lay there
undeyeloped, and that his mission was
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-03-05


But soon a change came over the spirit
OF the dreams, not only of the people ol
Santa Monica and Los Angeles, but Of
Californians generally. The bank of Cal
ltornia failed in San Francisco, followed
by the failure Of the Bank of Temple &
Workman in Los Angeles. Money be-
came tight. Panamint mines failed to
show good results, and Senator Jones did
not feel like building more expensive
tracks, especially as the people of Los An
geles did not cooperate with him to any
extent whatsoever. Finding that he could
not look for any aid from this quarter the
Senator found it convenient to sell his
Los Angeles and Independence Railway
to the Southern Pacific Company. One OF
the first acts of that powerful
corporation was to dismantle the wharf at
santa Monica, the steamers no longer
stopped there and reaction that lasted
for years set in, involving great hardships
to the people of the City by the Sea.

ILLITRRACY.

ILLITRRACY.
The fruits of this school system are
shown in the fact that the percentage OF
illiteracy is lower than the average of the
country; and there are thirteen states and
territories that show lower percentage OF
persons who cannot read.
Connecticut and Utah have the same;
namely 3.31
Leaving out of view persons of color, the
following table from the last census report
gives the comparison of illiteracy in Utah
as compared with the aggregate of the
states and other territories.

UTAH'S ADMISSION.
The Report Made by the Commit
tee on Territories.
1T is A VERY FAIR STATEMENT,
Br. Springer's Contribution to Our Boom
Literature Facts that are
Beyond Question.

Below is the report from the House com
mittee on territories, as submitted by Mr.
Springer ON March 2:
The committee on territories, to whom
was referred the bill (H. r. 1920 for the
admission of the state Of Utah into the
Union on an equal footing with the original
states, having had the same under consider
alton have instructed me to submit the fol
lowing report thereon:
Utah is asking to be admitted as state
under a constitution some of the provisions
of which, and the circumstances under
which it was made and by whom made, will
be hereafter considered.
DUTY OF CONGRESS AS TO THE ADMISSION OF
STATES.
tits certainly to the interest, as it has been
the policy, of the general government to
create states out of the territory belonging
to the Federal government whenever there
is a population within q defined locality
sufficient to Justify a state government, and
of such a fixed character and possessing
such qualities and interests as to Justify
comforting the exclusive power to control
local affairs. The admission of new states
into the Union adds to its strength as a
nation, and it may be said, therefore, that
it is not merely the privilege of Congress
but the duty of Congress to convert this
public domain into states as fast as popu-
lation and conditions will justify.
THB RIGHT OF THE PRoPLE'OF TERRITORY TO
HAVE A STATE GOVERNMENT.
But tits not only the duty of Congress to
bring in new states; it is the right of the
people to have state government when
the conditions exist.
When Congress creates territory and q
territorial government for the people who
may inhabit it, it is with the implication
that they shall have state government,
and shall be part and parcel Of the nation in
every respect, and especially have voice
in its affairs.
With this promise held out to them, they
occupy and develop part of the public do
main, and when they have fulfilled these
conditions their right to state government
cannot, without bad faith, be denied, unless
there are other conditions existing that re-
heye Congress from the duty that would
otherwise be imperative.
In the consideration of this subject your
committee have carefully examined into
matters relating to the population, re
sources, and mat rial development of that
territory and the soci Il status of the people.
The proponents of this constitution, as
well as those in opposition, have been fully
heard: statistics have been carefully and
deliberately presented and considered, and
the facts about to be stated herein are un-
disputed. They are not only asserted by
the proponents, but they are freely and
frankly admitted by the opponents, and are
fully sustained by record statistics.
The population Of UCah is now about
100000.
The yearly productions may be summar-
lied as follows:

In washing woolens avoid soap with resin
in it; resin hardens wooden fiber.
Equal parts of ammonia and spirits of
turpentine will take paint out of clothing
though it be dry and hard. Saturate the
spot two or three times, and then wash it
in s%Oapsuds.
To clarity molasses, heat over the fire,
pour in one pint of sweet milk to a gal
lon of molasses. The impurities will rise
in scum, which must be taken off before
broken by boiling.
A book defaced can never be restored to
its pristine purity. but stale bread crumbs
will partially remove the imprint of soiled
fnger-marks and stains. Tears NAV be
mended either by deity working a trife of
starch or mucilage into the ragged edges
and drawing them together. or by FASTING
on one side a narrow strip of white tissue
paper. Through it the printing can easily
be d~eciphered.
Lamp chimneys should never be washed
in soapsuds or clear water. If cloth wet
with alcohol was used for this purpose. or,
what is much cheaper, kerosene oil, there
would be a perceptible falling. off in the
manufacture and sale of lamp chimneys. 1t
is really surprising how seldom chimneys
will break. and what a fine polish will be
given them by cleansing them in kerosene
or alcohol.
Fanny Field, the ~wide-awake. poultry
writer for the Prairie Farmer, emphatically
declares that all talk about 1.-The secret of
success in packing eggs is just bosh. She
says there are no secrets about it. Exclu-
sion of air is the main thing. and when you
do that by some means that will not affect
the taste of the eggs, and keep them in a
cool place where the temperature Is even,
they will keep good for a reasonable length
of time-as long as there is any need of
keeping them. No one wants to keep eggs
for a year unless for experiment.
After all powders are tried, genuine
housekeepers are quite likely to go back to
old-fashioued washing-soda for cleaning
floors, sinks, iron, and other metal work.
There is nothing that removes impurities
SO rapidly as boiling hot soda and water,
applied with a long-handled scrubbing-
brush. and rinsed off once with clear water,
and dried with a clean cloth. A large lump
of soda melted over the drain in the sink
keeps the pipe clear from all grease. While
soda is a scrubber's main dependence, it
should never be used by the laundress, as
it seriously Injuries cloeb.
To keep the stove bright q cloth should
be kept on purpose for rubbing it OF. When
used first on a newly-blackened stove the
cloth becomes filled with the surplus polish,
which rubs off so easily. and is then ready
to impart a gloss whenever it is needed.
Another plan is to use old newspapers to
rub off the stove instead of a brush. In
mixing stove polish use vinegar and a tea
spoonful of sugar. To brighten the nickel
plating rub it with whiting and kerosene,
using a wooden cloth. or rubbing it with q
wooden cloth and -four. If the mica in the
stove door has become discoiored by smoke
it can be easily cleaned by washing it with
vinegar.
