Los ANGELES county needs just now
one or two thousand families to settle on
her rich plains, and build up homes out
of the fertile soils on which all sorts of
crops flourish SO luxuriantly. Here is a
climate which is an almost certain as
surance of health to all who dwell under
its benefcent influences. Children have
as good as bond from fate that they
will grow up here robust in body, and
with all the elasticity of spirit and hap.
piness of disposition which come of per-
feet health. Then the family on a
twenty-acre farm under the best condi-
tions attainable here, may live in afflu-
ence, so productive are our soils, instead
of being pinched in |penury, struggling
to exc out a bare existence on forty
acres of wheat, fifteen bushels to the
acre, and worth fifty cents bushel, the
ordinary fate of the Western farmer.

LEGISLATIVE pROGKAMME.
What the Representatives Of the
People WILL do This Week.

WASHINGTON, February 3.-The Sem
ators expect this to be busy week. To-
morrow the Appropriation Committee
will report the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial appropriation bill, and it
will be called up for consideration Tues
day. The Naval bill will be acted upon
by the committee as soon as received
from the House. 1t will probably be
reported by the end of the week. Whe1
the appropriation bills are out of the way
Hale will call up the census bill. To-
morrow afternoon the Pacific Railroad
Funding bill comes up as unfn-
ished business under resolu-
tion introduced by Salisbury. The Com
mittee on Foreign Relations may be ex-
pected, after the meeting on Wednesday,
to report in some form a declaration of
the idea of what is necessary and right
to be done by the United States to main
tain its dignity, and iuifli lis obligations
under the treaty with Samoa. Should
this come in, it will doubtless lead to a
debate OF some length, probably in So
cret session.
From present appearances the weeks
business in the House will be made up
OF patriotic oratory and routine hard
work, the former being called forth by
Edmunds' Panama canal resolution, and
the latter occasioned by tho necessity for
disposing OF the remaining appropriation
bills. Strenuous efforts will be made to-
morrow by many members to get their
bills before the House under suspen-
sion of the rules.

IT will be matter for profound con-
graduation to all concerned that the re.
lations, somewhat strained between this
nation and Germany, are to be restored
to their normal friendly lines. We have
never come into any collision with the
rulers of the Fatherland before, but on
the contrary, during the existence of the
Republic, the most cordial relations have
usually existed between the two nations.
Indeed, this is true of our dealings
with all the nations of Europe. with the
one exception of our own mother country
and of late years there has been but little
to ruffle the placid peace that has reigned
between us and Great Britain. Ger.
many has a large contingent of hel
brave sons in our land. They are
among our most valuable citizens. taking
most kindly to our institutions, and te-
coming patriotically attached to the
country of their adoption. 1t would be a
matter Of grave concern to these ardent

Melancholy Ending of New

Playful Jest.
Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
CHEYENNE, February 3.-News was
received here to-day Of a singular fatality
by which four Cinnamon lost their lives.
They were in Canyon City, near the yell
lowstone Park, and Yet Sing had estab-
lished wash.house in tent directly
over the boiling spring. He had hot
water constantly on hand and was doing
good business in the new mining town.
On Wednesday he and three other Mon
golians, who came from the mining
camps, celebrated Chinese new year.
They burned fire-crackers and offerings
to Joss, and wound up by getting drunk.
Yet Sing had been cautioned about the
boiling spring and told that it might be
slumbering geyser. For this reason his
wash-tubs were kept on the other side of
the tent, 30 that no soap might disturb
the quiet OF the boiling water. No one
knows how Yet Sings box of laundry
soap got overturned into the boiling
spring, and it is more than probable that
some mischievous miner emptied
the soap into the slum bering gevser.
That night there was sudden spouting
OF boiling water sent flying through the
air and some piercing yells. The miners
rushed up and found the geyser pouring
water to the height of a hundred feet.
The bodies of four Cinnamon, scalded to
death, were found later some distance
from the scene. The geyser spouted for
three hours, and then subsided.

The past month was typical one in
the matter Of climate for this section.
January is not marked in the almanacs
outside of the semi-tropics as period
when clear weather is to be expected
with any great degree of certainty. But
with us the skies of January are az
bright as those of June in other lands.
The month just closed is credited with
no less than nineteen perfectly cloudless
days. There were only six days out Of
the thirty-one in the period on which
rain fell at all; and the other six
days are set down as partly cloudy.
There were an unusually large number
of days in the month in which q suspi-
cion of frost was found for an hour at
daylight. The mercury on these days
sank only to the freezing point of water.
Not one of them marked even one degree
OF frost. Barely the point of congeala-
ton was touched, and that for mere
hour. During the active hours of the day
the temperature has ranged at from SO to
20 degrees as rule, now and then rum
ming up to 65. Ideal winter weather this
is, indeed.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH,
The Treasurer of San Bernar dino
County Found Dead.

SAN BERNARDINo, Feb 2. - Hardin
Yager, treasurer of San Bernardino
county, was found dead this morning.
Yesterday hc completed his settlam y !
with the State Treasurer, and had also
just completed his settlement with the
county auditor for the months business,
and everything was found correct. To-
wards night he was feeling very poorly,
and his mind was in such a condition
that it was impossible for him TO work.
He left his Office about O'Clock, as is
supposed, to 60 home. He was
seen about an hour later wander
ing in an aimless manner in the
vicinity where he was afterwards found.
AS he did not return home during the
night, his family commenced to search,
and this morning his remains were
found in pool Of water by the side of
the road where he had apparently
stumbled and fallen. Some money and
valuable papers were found unmolested
on his person, and no one suspects foul
play. He was elected County Treasurer
in 1895 and has held the office ever since.
The Supervisors meet tomorrow and will
probably elect his successor.

GRACEFULLY YIELDING.

that America is Right.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
LONDON, February 3.-The Standards
Berlin correspondent says: "In spite oi
the unmistakable friction with the Amer
leans, nobody fears that therei is any dan
ger of the Samoan affair leading to war
between the two nations. Germany will
in fact make friendly proposals which
doubtless the Government atWashington
will finally accept. The German officials
in Samoa are now represented
as having exceeded and mis-
understood their instructions, bui
the last thing that the semi official
organs can be expected to confess is the
paipable fact that, in the presence of the
strong feeling aroused in America, Ger.
many has found it polite to beat re-
treat. The National Zeitung thinks tha,
the knowledge of Prince Bismarck's dis.
avowal of the acts of the German Off
cials in Samoa would come with better
grace from the German than the Ameri
can Government. As for the rest, it says
"The defiant speeches in America will
just as little provoke Germany to take
any unwarrantable step as they will pre-
vent her maintaining her just rights"

STOLEN PROPERTY.
A Medium Describes the Person an d
Kcs1demce of the Hurglar.

Residence of the Burglar.
SAN Josk, February 3.-At intervals
during several weeks past, valuables have
been missing from the Office of the Vi
emma Dye Works, and last Thursday a
valuable gold watch was stolen from a
bureau in the room of Mrs. Patser, vile
OF the proprietor. The lady consulted
a medium, who went into a
trance and afterwards described a
scene in which tall, slender
dark man entered the rear yard of the
works in the night time, assembled g.
ladder to the shed roof, reached in
through the window and departed with a
round object in his hand that looked
like gold watch, and then walked rap.
idly eastward on Santa Clara street,
nearly to Second, and assembled
a stairway, entered q room, and
after atfectionately kissing a dark
skinned woman, retired. The de-
scription accurately fitted the per-
son, rooms and family of Albert johnson
solicitor in the employ Of Patser, and
the rooms were to-day searched under a
warrant, Mrs. Patser and girl in her
employ assisting the officers. The miss
ing watch was found in Mrs. Johnson's
trunk, and ring belonging to customer
in the bureau drawer. Johnson and his
wife, were both taken into custody,
though they were afterwards allowed to
90 on their own recognizance. johnson
denies his guilt and says he is the victim
of. a conspiracy. johnson will be
charged with burglary. He says that
several weeks ago he got a suit, of
clothes to renovate from r. Olarts,
OF Santa Clara. Next day Olarts came
and said he had left ring in the pocket.
Search was made, but it could not be
found, and Olarts requested him, if the
ring turned up, to take charge of it and
return it to him. Several days later he
found the ring in his wagon, and was
keeping it until business should take
him to San Jose.

issue, of any journal in the United
States, or in the world, for that matter.
The issue contains no less than forty-two
six-column pages. Nor is the matter less
important in interest than in extent. OF
the forty-two pages, thirty-four are de-
voted to the exhibiting of the delinquent
tax-list of the county. There are in
these thirty-four pages 204 columns; in
each column there are probably an aver
age of a hundred separate descriptions
of property on which the taxes have not
been paid. This gives an aggregate of
about 10000 pieces of property. The
total amount of money on the list cam
not be ascertained, but it is in the neigh
borhood OF $25O,OO0. 1t may be one-fifth
less than this, but is probably near the
sum set down. There is no doubt that
it will be subjsct of no little interest to
the people of this county. In many
cases taxpayers could not pay taxes, for
the reason that the property could not be
discovered ON the books under their
names. They will scan this big list with
great care to discover what they must
pay taxes on and what not, to keep their
possessions from going under the SheI-
ifs hammer. AS to the arrangement of
the list, that is matter over which the
HERALD could not exercise any control.
We had only a few days in which to
get out this immense job, and it
| tov hn Of II
this Office, but OF the town to
complete it in the short time allowed by
law. The "copy" had to be handled as
it came from the office of the Tax Col
lector. Nor could that official do more
than has been done in the way of arrang-
ing and classifying the list. To attempt
to arrange the whole list in alphabetic
form in the time at his command, would
have been as sensible as an attempt to
fly to the moon. And the effort would
have cost the public a large sum of
money, besides proving utterly abortive.
All that could be accomplished for the
convenience of the bewildered taxpayer
has been done. There has been arranged
at the end of each volume in which the
list stands in the Assessors office, an in
dex of names referring to the number Of
the lot or parcel OF land in the list. The
dazed citizen must rely in this as his
only guide in finding where he stands.
The list will appear in the HERALD for
three times, once to-day, once next
Monday, and once one week from that
date. 1t is served with the paper to all
subscribers on those days, and is sold to
the newsboys on the same days for the
regular price of the paper.

A Blaze in a Brewery.

ST.. LOUIS, February 2.-This forenoon
fire was discovered in one of the great
storage warehouses of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association, and a few
moments later tremendous explosion
occurred, and the north wall OF the ware.
house, 80 feet long and 100 feet high,
was thrown down with. great crash
on the iron and glass roof of the building
adjoining, crushing the building and
covering its contents with debris. The
warehouse contained 100000 bushels OF
barley and malt, and about noon the fire
was gotten under control. The remain
ing walls of the warehouse are in danger
OF falling, but every effort is being made
to prevent further damage. The loss is
estimated at 1920, 900, which is covered
by the insurance on the whole property.

A Runaway Car.

DENVER, Feb. ga serious accident
occurred at North Denver, this afternoon,
on the Berkeley motor liue. A car
started down long, high grade, but,
before going any distance, became un-
manageable and dashed down the hill at
the rate of forty miles an hour. When
nearly at the bottom the car jumped the
track, and was smashed to atoms. The
car was nearly filed with people, all of
whom were more or less injured. The
most serious cases ara: John Berry,
thigh crushed, internally injured, cannot
live; William Greenman, conductor, back
broken, recovery doubtful; Otto Brohm,
Jr.. thigh and arm broken; Mrs. J. R.

Seizure of Sealers.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 3. - The
American schooner Walter L. Rich and
the British schooner Walter Pathfinder,
both sealers and just from Victoria,
were seized by the revenue cutter
Richard Rush while entering port to- day.
They are reported to have been seized
for having no papers of entry, but it is
stated to be the viewsrof the Customs Of
ficials that,as they cleared from Victoria
and their actions had been suspicious,
they probably have on board opium and
other contraband gaods.
The Captain of the Pathfinder states
that on account of gale when off Cape
Mendocino, he put into Drake's Bay, but
that this is the common practice of seal
ers, and that they have often remained
there from three to six days without a
complaint being made.

ALL sections of the country return tt

ALL sections of the country return the
most glowing and encouraging accounts
of the area of land being seeded to all
sorts of crops this year. Thus far, the
weather has been perfect for reaching
the highest possible results in all lines
of agriculture. Just now the surface of
the ground is becoming little dry in
some places, and the plows go heavily
through the crust. About an inch OF
rain during the next ten days would be
. blessed dispensation to the farmer.
Cereals and hay will be in large supply
here next summer. We shall have
plenty to export, and thus make our
farmers rich. The prosperity of the
granger is the subsoil out of which all
prosperity must grow.

A Hay Rarn Burned.

STOCKTON, CAL, February 3.-A large
hay warehouse caught fire this evening
and burned to the ground, along with 800
tons of hay, valued at twelve dollars per
ton. Most of the hay was owned by D..
Miller, farmer living near here. He
also owned the building, which was
valued at $4,000. There was no
insurance. The fire was only
twenty-five feet from the large ware
house known as the Mills ware
house, which is filed with grain
hut the firemen confined the fire to the
hay warehouse. The engine will be kept
at the fire all night to prevent any
spreading. The insurance rate on this
property was sixty cents, and the far
mer preferred to carry his own risk. 1t
is supposed that the fire was started by
two young men, who were seen to leave
the building just before the fire was dis
covered.
