among the important new features is
the special study of the birth and death

in twenty-four of our largest cities; the
special study of the inflences of race upon
fecundity and mortality, and the special
study OF the relations Of occupations TO
death rates and to particular causes of
death.
An inquiry regarding the names of or.
carnations, and the length of service of
surviving veterans of the Rebellion who
served the United States will call for a
report OF eight volumes of 1000 pages
each.
The statistics of agriculture, il is ex.
pected, will be more compile than ever
before. and may include some new feat
ures in relation to irrigation, dairy and
poultry products, ranch cattle and the
number of animals other than those on
farms. The preliminary work in the
division Of manufactures indicates that
the statistics will be more complete and
accurate than the country ever had be-
fore.

Letting Useful Statistics.
WASHINGTON, November 9.-The re.
port Of Robert p. Porter, Superintendent
Of the Eleventh Census, concerning the
operations Of the Census Office since June
l, 1889, explains in detail the vast
amount Of work that has already
been done preliminary to the
active field work that will begin
next year. The method inau.
gurated by the Office, and approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, will NOT
only bring about the best work, and
leave the Superintendent to act with
great rapidity when the demand ia the
greatest for clerks, but it is in the line OF
practical Civil Service reform.
Several important reports OF the Eley.
enth Census will be ready for publication
during the fall and winter Of 1890, and
the Superintendent makes a suggestion.
which, If adopted by Congress, will se-
cure, he thinks, the publication of the
volumes speedily after they are ready for
the printer. The plan is to have the vol
umes printed by private contract, or by
having the Census Office print and pub.
lish them itself.
The work preliminary to enumeration
is well In hand. A population schedule
has been prepared, and, in addition to
the information called for by the Tenth
Census. the schedule will ascertain what

ground OF the port of Redondo Beach.
The soil is rich beyond expression, and
innumerable gang plows are preparing it
for fruitful story of agricultural devel-
opment during the coming season. These
lands-those of the Centinela and 9ausal
Redondo-have already demonstrated
that they are Independent Of seasons.
In the famous year Of drouth, 1876-77e-
when only 4s5 inches of rain was all
that was recorded for the entire season
splendid crops of wheat and barley were
gathered on this superb domain.
But the real development begins when
one reaches the oceans brink-the al
ready we'll known and shortly to be
famous Redondo Beach. There one en-
counters progress which can only be
explained by the magical action Of
millions of dollars upon possibilities of a
clearly defined character. In our issue
of yesterday we indicated the possibilities
Of this eclectic region. We shall recur to
it tomorrow.

A VERY interesting letter on the sub
ject of railroads between Salt Lake and
Southern California appears elsewhere
in today's HERALD. 1t is from Tlioma
Taylor, who has taken deep interest in
this matter. The new President of the
Union Pacific has given out that two
hundred miles of road will be built to
Phoebe, Nevada, and thence to Pahrana-
gat. But this last is probably a blind.
Pahranagat would be out of the direct
line 1875 miles, unless the intention
is to go to the Needles, which would be
an absurd railroad proposition to COM
pany that desires to reach the Coast on
its own rails, as the Union-Pacifie evi.
IDENTITY does. But there will doubtless be
g number of side-plays made in the
course of planning the route, for the pur-
pose, perhaps, of deceiving rival corpor-
atoms, and also, perhaps, to induce in
terested objective cities to come down
with material aid to the projectors.

THERE seems to be two sides to the
sweeping accusations made by the Grand
Jury against the San Diego officials.
The Supervisors have declined to resign
as requested, and have given out their
intention Of clearing their regulations in
the courts, where ex parts statements
will not prevail. Mayor Douglas Gum,
who was also denounced by the
Grand Jury, sent letter to
the City Council demasding an
investigation; but that body refused
to take official notice of the mat
ter, holding that there was nothing to
investigate. The general impression
prevails in San Diego that the Grand
Jury was precipitous, rash and inconsid-
crate in its sweeping accusations, and
that whilst there were perhaps just
grounds for impeaching the integrity Of
some of the officials, yet there is no rea-
son to believe that they are all robbers.

HE organization Of the vignerons of
this county yesterday under the name of
the California Viticultural Protective
League is move in the right direction.
The object of the movement is to secure
organized action to prevail upon Congress
to repeal all legislation inimical to the
wine industry. The present revenue
laws, their Interpretation by the Bureau
aud the manner of their enforcement is
destructive to the sweet wine interest.
The vignerons all declare that the bust
ness cannot be carried on un.
der the difficulties that are now
interposed by the Revenue Bureau,
which is controlled and Influenced in its
hostile attitude to the vine producers by
the great Whiskey Trust. One manu-.
factarer said that he had not made 6
gallon of wine this season, preferring to
go to the wall in inaction rather than to
be ruined by the present mode Of admin.
istering the Revenue laws. To this pass
has an important industry been brought
by bad laws gallingly enforced in the In
serest OF colossal whiskey ring. 1t is
to be hoped that the vignsrons all over
the State will organize, and compel Con-
gress to take action upon their griev-
ances.

AcxIIVIe experience OF the Bile.
card In New Mexico.
DENVER, Colo, November 9.-The
Republicans Trinidad special says: The
bodies of John Martin and Henry Miller,
the cowboys who were frozen to death
near Sierra Grande, last week during
the blizzard, were brought to Folsom for
burial. Their two companions, Charlie
Wier and Henry Jolly, were taken to
Ration for medical treatment. Jolly will
lose all his fingers, but otherwise will
not suffer greatly. Wier will lose all
his fingers, and one Of his feet is
horribly frozen. -Four other men
belonging to the same party are missing
and it is feared they are dead. Their
names are Charlie Rand, Mama, Ed.
Jaeger, Joe Evans, and two Mexicans,
names unknown. 1t is reported by par
ties who know that at least twenty men
are missing from their homes, and it is
feared that many of them will be found
dead.
jolly and Weir tell a heart.rending
story Of their sufferings. They say the
blizzard struck them Wednesday night
OF last week. They were holding q herd
of $500 cattle. The wind became
q hurricane before morning, and
when Martin and jolly Went to
the last guard about 8 a. m-, the storm
was 30 binding they could not hold the
herd. Jolly started to camp for help.
In the meantime Miller and Weir had
LETT the camp to assist holding the cattle.
jolly could not find the camp, and Miller
and Wier could not find the herd, All
three were drawn together by shouting,
and wandered around until dayliohf'
when they found Martin. The cold was
so bitter that the men entered an arroyo.
and, after fastening their horses, took
their saddle blankets and buried them
selves in snowdrifs. This was at about
: O'Clock in the afternoon, and by only
the greatest effort Wier and Jolly sue
ceeded in keeping awake. They were
slightly apart from Martin and Miller,
and had difficulty in talking to each
other. The snow piled upon them in
such immense weight that they were
compelled to seek another drift.
About O'Clock Friday morning Miller
called Jolly and Wier and told them they
had all better 60. And when they crawled
out they made search in the drift for
Miller and Martin. The latter only was
found, and he was dead. They took
their horses and started, leading them a
few rods. when they found Miller on his
knees with his bleeding face against the
blast, swaying to and fro, his horse
standing in front of him, as though
trying to protect him from the cold.
He YVES asked to get I'D and
go With them. He was unable to rise
and was assisted to his feet, but could
not walk. jolly started to get assistance
while Wier remained with their dying
companion. Both Wier's hands were
frozen and he was helpless to render any
help, and was fast becoming insensible
himself, when Mexican found him and
took him to Rhodes' ranch, a few miles
distant. The men returned to where
Miller had been left and found him life
less.

sentences of two years each for perjury.
A year ago stage was robbed in that

was offered for the arrest and conviction
of the highwayman. The reward was a

"A Great Mevement of Development.
At time when it was supposed that
Los Angeles county was going behind,
and when we were resping the reaction
resulting from wild schemes engineered
by people hailing from Kansas City,
Minneapolis and Chicago; in other
words. at the aphelion of the boom, the
Mes re-. Ainsworth and Thompson pur-
chased the interest of Judge Silent
and others in the Inglewood and
Redondo Beach properties. They bought
these properties at bedrock prices, an d
they bought them because, after a full
inspection OF the country and the situa.
ton, they could make money out of the
venture after scheme of improvement,
involving millions, had been carried
out. They knew they had the millions,
and they knew that the country had the
outcome.
Anyone who will take the care, by the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, to
Redondo Beach, will be treated all along
the route, as soon as the city limits have
been passed, to incidents of local devel-
opment of q most gratifying character.
Passing through region of exceptional
horticultural richness, they come first
upon the works Of the Southern Califor-
mia Pipe Company. This notable indus
try, which has passed from the self
sustaining to the remunerative point,
was an incident of the extension
OF the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railway to Redondo Beach. The clay
which makes the fine vitrified and
eemented pipe which is now coming into
use all over the State of California is
brought on the cars of the Santa Fe's
California branch from Elsinore to this
city. The next interesting development
is the endless brick kiln of Mr.. Dan
Freeman. In this ingenious patented con.
trivance yen are putting in bricks at one
end while you are taking them out at
the other. The quality Of the bricks il
excellent, and the process almost illas-
trstes the idea of perpetual motion.

IN striking degree, the miracles of de-
velopment which characterize the rich,

Recommen dati0ns of she sewer
Com missi0n.

Recommen dalfons of she sewer
Commission.
The Sewer Commission fnished their
labors yesterday, and will make their re-
port to the Council tomorrow. The
gentlemen composing the commission
have carried out the work assigned them
faithfully and earnestly, and deserve the
thanks of the community. Of course
there is great diversity of opinion as to
what is the best system of sewer
age to adopt for q city like
Los Angeles, which covers go large
an area of territory, and which
is geographically SO peculiar. But. out
side of few impracticsls, who never
learn and never forget, there is a unanim-
ity of opinion in favor of the utilization
Of the sewage on the porous and poor
lands below this city. An effort has
been made to raise popular preju-
dice against the utilization of the
sewage as q fertilizer on the ab-
surd claim that the products of soils
thus enriched are liable to injure
the health Of consumers. We doubt,
however, whether any sensible person
has been.imposed upon by this ridiculous
assumption. Experimental science has
long eince disposed of this relic of preju-
dice aud ignorance, and some of the
chief cities Of Europe are now supplied
with vegetables from soil fertiliEed
by the wastage of their sewers. The
commission has fully recognized the
value Of the sewage as q fertilizer. and
kept that important point in view in ar
irving at its conclusion. The report that
will be presented to the Council recon-
mends In brief:
l. That publication works be estab-
lisned at some point south of the city
limits, the publication to be effected either
by filtration or precipitation.
2. That the city construct on outfsll
sewer to the publication works, tbs cost
Of which and the works, with 40 acres Of
land, not to exceed $10O. 900.
8. That the right of way for an out all
sewer to the ocean from the publication
works be obtained, either by purchase or
condemnation.
A. That an interior system be con-
structed, for which 100000 shall be
raised by bonds, and the balance, about
100000, by some other method to be de-
cided upon by the Council.
5. That storm drains be constructed
to relieve the present necessity at cost
not to exceed $4,000.
These recommendations cover the
whole ground, and if carried out will give
US a system that will answer every pur-
pQEo.

The Silver Convention, which Is to
meet in st. Louis ON the 26th instant,
will be in position to bring direct and
positive influence upon the next Con-
gzess in favor of the reconciliation Of
the discredited metal. Some of the
ablest advocates of the double standard
vii be present, and food of light will
DO thrown upon the injurious policy of a
silver-producing country joining with
the non-silver producing powers to de-
monetize a metal which we can pro-
duce in unlimited quantities from
our mines. There is evidently
well-grounded apprehension that
Congress will act favorably on the sub
ject of increasing the coinage of silver,
Tor 9 large bullion firm has just made
An offer to give one thousand dollars for
. three months option on one hundred
thousand ounces of silver at the rate OF
one dollar an ounce. This firm has GER
tain Senatorial connections, which favor
the idea that it has received hints on the
subject Of probable legislation that will
be in the interest of the silver market.
However that may be, it is evident that
throughout the West and the Pacific
States the silver question has assumed q
very formidable shape, and that the gold
bugs of Wall street will be met in
the next Congress by power
Of public sentiment which they will be
unable to overcome. The volume oil

greatly expanded there is danger of a
widespread and disastrous money panic.
To take off the shackles with which CON.
gress has hampered silver, will afford
instant relief. The very least we can
lock for at the next session will be the
increase of the monthly purchases Of
silver for coinage under the Bland bill
from two million to four million dollars.
This will undoubtedly be done, and it
will have the effect of fsvorably
influencing the price of silver,
10 that the next step would
be made comparatively easy. II
the United States will relieve silver Of
it's legislative shackles and place it on
it's feet as money standard, the mono
metalists of Europe will be compelled to
follow suit. The demand for silver
money is on the increase not only in this
country but all over the world. The
opening Of the interior of Africa to com
merce and to civilization is beginning to
absorb great deal of currency, and
the development of interior commerce in
India consequent upon the extension OF
railroads has created an immense de-.
mand for silver coin. 1t needs only for
