the port of New York.
The Secretary of the Navy has notified
the President of the Columbia Iron
Works, Of Baltimore, to have the gun.
boat Petrol, recently tried by the official

The suggestion of a wine trust in the
East with view to acquiring the vine
yards of California has more to recon-
mend il than would appear at first sight.
Trusts are odious, and when they oper-
ate to crush out individual capital en-.
gagged in leading industries they are not
only to be deprecated, but to be sup
pressed. 1t is notorious fact, however,
that there is a lamentable lack of capital
in California engaged in the work of
storing and grading wines and brandies.
Here is field of a most inviting ampli-
tude for the gentlemen who affect syndi-
Gates and trusts, and which we would
content to see them occupy in regions
where there is most lamentable lack of
local capital. There would be in such
an arrangement the further advantage
that members of trusts and syndicates
can afford to drink the wines they have
made and maIured, and would doubtless
do go to a considerable extent.

QUITE important developme nts are
quietly going on here in Los Angeles, in
the line of railroad building particu-
larly. The Redondo Beach narrow
gauge road is waiting only for the arrival
of the motors to set their twenty miles
or more of new road in motion. The
Los Angeles and Pacific road has just
secured a right of way which will bring
their terminus close to the Plaza, the
absolute center of the city. The
work of extending the road to
this point will be done at once.
Active movements are making all
the time in the matter of the Cross
road from this city to Pasadena. But it
is pretty certain that these local develop
ments will be somewhat sclipsed in a
very short time by the definite announce
ment that work will be begun on the line
through Southern Utah and Nevada,
and thence by way of the &c ;ert
and over the mountains to Los
Angeles. This will give Los
Angeles another transcontinental rail-
road, and at the same time it will
open up very rich territory to our mer.
chants between here and Salt Lake.
The Carson and Colorado road will be
extended from it's present terminus at
Keeler, near Ovens Lake, to connect
with this overland line. That will open
up still another fine territory for busi-
ness.

The Council just now is engaged in the
admirable work of inauguratlng regime
OF retrenchment, and is seeking for the
best means of bringing that desirable
result about. The most infallible way oi
accomplishing this salutary reform is by
looping off all unnecessary officials and
by mourning as few expenses as possible.
The extraordinary sum of 1922, 900 is
supposed to separate the receipts of the
current fiscal year from the expenditures
OR the estimates, more properly speak
ing. Amongst other matters, the light
ing of the city ought to be carefully
locked into. A rigid inquiry as to
whether we are getting our moneys
worth is needed in this department, and
the question is whether we have not
been too ambitious in extending our sys-

The Dockmen,s strike.

LONDON, September 4.-There was a
marked increase this morning in the
mum Der of dockmen resuming work.
John Burnes delivered an address to-
the strikers today at Tower Hill, and
denounced arbitration. He denied the
reports that the dockmen we're going to
work, and said it was expected that
strikes would be inaugurated in Glasgow
today and Southampton Thursday.

LIVERPOOL, September 4.-The strike
here has ended, the employers having

LONDON, September 5.-The Strike
Committee sat until 2 O'Clock this
Thursday morning. It was agreed
that the committee would consent to the
men resuming work at any wharf paying
six pence an hour, ordinary time, and
eight pence an hour overtime, the "plus''
in piece work to be equally divided be-

for Cause.
CHICAGO, September 4.-The work OF
securing jury in the Cronin case was
resumed this morning. The only matter
of interest developed was a ruling by
Judge Mcconnell, excusing TalesmanW.
P. Turner for cause. Turner testified
that he was member of the American
League, or Independent Order of Depu-
ties, whose object is to prevent members
of the Roman Catholic church from
holding or controlling political Offices in
this country. The talesman, however,
thought that this would not influence his
action, and that he could give the de.
fendants fair trial even if it were shown
that they were members of the Clan.na-
Gael. The defense challenged him for
cause and the Court sustained the chal.
lenge.
A number Of other talesmen were ex-
amined. Two were temporarily passed
and recess tax en- until tomorrow morn
ing in order to give the defendants' coun-
sci an opportunity to consult as to
whether they will turn the four men now
in waiting over to the State for ac-
ceptance.

CALIFORNIA sent out her first carload
OF raisins to the East yesterday. If it
weighed, as is probable, about twelve tons
net Of fruit outside the packages, that
would be 24,000 pounds, and at 10 cents
pound they are worth $2,400. A
whole train load of wheat would not be
worth more than that one carload oil
fruit. That quantity Of raisins is easily
grown on ten acres of vines, whereas
wheat OF that value could not be grown
on an average on less than 300 acres OF
western land. That is about the rela.
tive value Of their land and ours, and
the relative sp3rpfts of their crops and

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1859.

Our correspondent at Catalina yester.
day recorded fact in fishing which will
place that island in the list of the best
resorts in the world for those who delight
in the festive pastime. Within two
weeks the little harbor of Avalon has
twice swarmed with the best and gami-
est variety of fish in the Pacific waters
the yellow-tail, or as they are styled in
the United States reports, the amber
fish. These fish run all the way from
twelve or fifteen pounds piece to forty
and even sixty pounds. We have here
tofore iikened their action, after taking
the hook, to the bluefsh of the East
ern waters. Our Catalina correspond
ent, however, who is an authority
on the subject, says the yellow-tail are
even gamier on the line than the blue
fish. When one considers that in three
hours on Monday morning, men, women
and children, within stones throw OF
the hotel. caught nearly two thousand
pounds of these fish, it is safe to say that
no watering place in the United States
can compare for sport with Catalina
Island. Enthusiastic disciples of Izaak
Walton would go thousands of miles for
such a days fishing, and the fact
that these catches are possible at
short intervals will prove an at.
traction to Los Angeles county that will
cut no small figure in inducing persons
of wealth and leisure and sporting pro-
clivities to plant their homes here. But
there is q commercial consideration
which we ought not to overlook in treat
ing of our local fisheries. The channel
which lies. between our coast and the
island possesses possibili les for the
building up of q great fish industry
which can hardly be overestimated. The
season commences as early as April OF
May. At that time barracuda begin to
swarm in the channel and in the waters
adjacent to the island. They are prime
table fish, and are 30 abundant in the
season that the catch could be made
almost unlimited. There is market
everywhere for good sailed or
dried fish, and certainly none of the
staple fish of commerce surpass in favor
and taste and fine edible qualities the
barracuda. Before the barracuda have
ceased to run, the yellow-tail season
comes in, and lasts into October. What
we have said anent the edible qualities
of the barracuda will apply to the vel.
low-tail, with preference in favor of the
latter. These fisheries could be devel.
oped into very profitable trade, and we
have no doubt that the time will soon
come when We shall see very consid-
cradle capital invested in them. In the
meantime, however, we may justly claim
that our immediate waters offer lovers of
sport the finest and best fishing runs in
the country.

In ALL respects excepting the develop.
ment of the stipulated 1000 horsepower
in her engines, the cruiser Charleston
seems to be an excellent ship. She
develops high rate of speed, and the
best of staying" qualities. In view OF
her generally fine qualities as ship, ii
seems somewhat hard to exact the $50, ,000
penalty from the builders because OF her
failure to develop the full amount ol
power in her engines. If, as her build,
ers allege, this defect is the result Of the
faulty plans furnished by the Govern.
ment, then some relief is certainly due.
But one might 60 still further. Congress,
in letting the contracts for these new
ships, set a limit to the cost, and the
price paid is conceded to be very close
one, leaving but little margin of profit to
the builders. Then we are new at this
business OF building ships such as the
Government requires, and inexperience
and lack of proper plant must
add to the expense Of the ships
to the builders. Now it is most
desirable that we should have both facil-
tiles and skill for this work. The enter.
prise that led San Francisco firm to bid
for this work is worthy of encourage
ment. American enterprise is always
ready to grapple with anything within
the bounds of reason. 1t is not reason.
able for the Government to expect to get
a navy built at less than the cost to the
ship-builders. To develop the facilities
and skill for turning out fine ships
at half q dozen points in the
country is worth more to the Nation
than few hundred thousand dollars
represent. We would not advocate the
Government hoisting the national flag
over poor ship, if it could be had for
nothing. But it does seem to be the
proper thing for the Government to
encourage, by all fair means, the build.
ing of good ships in our own yards. Toe
niggardly policy will defeat this desir-
able end.

by some of them as genuine. In fact l

This reminds us Of an incident in that
line that occurred in certain city in this

present month. A collector for bust
ness house in the city alluded to. called
upon one of its local customers to collect
a bill. The debtor filed out check on
the bank through which he transacts his
business, but instead Of signing his name,
inscribed April First" The collector
receipted his bill, took the check and de-
posted it, together with other collections
in checks and cash, in the bank W here his
house does business. The irregularity
was not discovered until the check in ques
ton was returned to the bank ON which
it was drawn the next day, where it was
endorsed by the cashier, No funds on
deposit here to payee's credit.
