The question of woman's suffrage
and prohibition are receiving alto
gether too much consideration and it
is possible that in the convention
matters of greater Importance will
not receive that attention they de
serve. The women of the territory
and their friends cannot have the
good of the whole at heart or they
would not be pushing their so-called
claims, when they know the fate of
the constitution depends on keeping
woman's suffrage and prohibition out
of it. We are confident that there
will lie many delegates in the con-
Yention who will endcavor to have
these clauses inserted in the consti-
tuition aud that much valuable time
of the convention will be taken up
thereby. The matter should be sum
marily disposed of. Give us wo-
mans suffrage and the growth and
prosperity of the territory will be
retarded. What is to be gained by
granting to women the right to vote
VIII politics be purified? VIII the
laws of the country be better admin
istered?
If the convention desires TO act
wisely, let them insert in the consti-
tuition the educational qualification
Compel men to know how to read and

The question of our hotel facilities
has been broached to us by number
of prominent gentlemen and it has
been suggested by them that the
Chamber of Commerce should take
hold of the matter and induce either
some of our monied men here, or Sc
cure out side capital for the purpose
of erecting large hotel. The pres
ent accommodations are not sufficient
to meet the increasing immigration.
This is question that should not be
permitted to slumber. We need a
large hotel in the immediate busI-
ness center of the city; one that can
be reached without much trouble
and with as little waste of time as
possible We are surprised that our
capitalists have not taken hold oi
this matter long before this, for the
reason. that outside of the benefit
that Port Townsend would derive
the money invested would bring q
handsome return. This matter the
Chamber of Commerce should take
hold of and push with vim.

RATTLEsNAKE ISLAND is being made
the subject of a good deal of active
negotiations just now. 1t is not violent
inference to assume that the recently
strongly developed tendency of the Union
Pacific Railway to build to tidewater on
the Pacific Ocean is at the bottom of this
ACTIVITY. The Utah Southern is to be at
once pushed to Los Angeles, and Rattle
snake Island is the obvious terminus of
that system. This is independent of the
statement made in yesterdays HERALD
that the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany have also agents in the field here
looking to the acquisition CT railway
which will afford them communication
between the ocean and this city. Alto
gether, the prospect is for lively times
bereabouts, notwithstanding the immin-
ence of summer. To enliven matters
generally, real estate values are now so
low in Los Angeles county as to warrant
investment with a view to an early up-
ward turn in prices.

Col. j.. j. Beane, however, still re-
tains his confidence in the ultimate dis
covery of oil or gas. He says one or
the other is there without doubt.
Colonel Beane is also enthusiastic lust
now over the reported appropriation by
the Legislature of $4,000 for the fur
ther development of the oil field at Stock
ton, OF which he was the discoverer.
Information was received to-day of a
big proposition to pipe natural gas all the
way from the fields in Kern county TO
San Francisco.
Colonel SAKE, of San Francisco, who
has been here for some time, is interested
IN this scheme, and says that $350,000
for carrying it out are now on deposit in
the bank at Bakersfield, the county seat
OF Kern. The distance from Kern to San
Francisco is about 800 miles, and makes
some difficulty, but that obstacle can be
overcome by the location of pumping
stations at intervals.

IT is to be hoped that there will be no
Oklahoma rush of American settlers to
get slices of the sixty miles of territory
in Lower California which it is said was
left by error on the Mexican side of the
line. An examination of the Treaty of
Guadalupe de Hidalgo fails to make any
mistake in the boundary line apparent.
The treaty says nothing about the
line running from the mouth of
the Colorado river. On the con-
trary, it says clearly that the
line shall take the middle of the Gila
river to its junction with the Colorado,
and run thence straight line to the Pa
cific Ocean, which it shall reach at point
one league below the southernmost point
of the port of San Diego. In 1S49 the
Boundary Com mission, under Colonel
J. B. Weller, ran the line and established
the boundary where it now is, and where
it will remain until Mexico and the
United States find it to their interest to
change it.

The great crops which will be grown
in California this year are double bene-
faction. The wheat crop of the United
States will be short. Dakota, instead of
contributing thirty or forty million bush
els to the stock, will be in the market as
a purchaser for seed and food. All the
conditions point to high prices. Los An
geles county will produce an enormous
crop of cereals this year, barring some
unlocked for visitation of Providence.
Some estimates place the acreage sown
in grain as high as three hundred thou
sand, and thirty bushels to the acre
would not be an extravagant estimate
The way some of it is stooling out, sixty
bushels will be recorded. On the most
conservative basis we may look for five
or six million bushels of the cereals, and
that means that we shall have tremen-
dous surplus for export. Fortunately for
our people they have learned the lesson
that production is the truest source of
wealth, and they have learned it thor
oughly.
