County boundary Line.

Surveyors Wood and Wright have
completed the map of the boundary line
between Orange and Los Angeles coun-
ties. All that remains to be done at
present is the monumenting. The d.
viding line runs very closely along Coy
ote creek, and deviates little either way.
This was done so that 40.acre tracts ly-
ing along the boundary line should not
be divided, throwing a small part into
each county. For seventeen miles after
leaving the creek the line runs in d.
rect route, first some three miles due
north, and then easterly to the San Ber-
nardino county line, distance of four
teen miles. For greater part of the
way the country is very mountainous,
rendering work exceedingly difficult. The
expense SO far is $1,000, which will be
considerably increased by the iron mon.
uments, forty-fvs of which will be placed
at intervals along the line. The expense
is borne equally by the two counties.-

Vineyard Planting.

The planting of new vineyards will
come up next spring as very interest
ing question. If it can be assured to the
people of this section that the vine dis
ease is thing of the past, or that it's
spread can be arrested, a great many
new vineyards will be planted here in
tine spring. In this connection the fol-
lowing letter will prove both interesting
and encouraging. It is written to the
Anaheim Gazette by E. r. Collins OF that
place:
Those desiring to plant vines and
wondering if it be safe so to do, may be
interested in knowing the present status
of my vineyard, planted this spring.
Twelve hundred rooted Muscats arrived
from Riverside in the uncommonly hot
weather of the latter part of April. They
were given what may be truly called "a
crucial test" standing sacked for two or
three days while the ground was being
prepared; then planted in hot SAM y
soil, which waited for two or three days
longer the coming of water. purposely
selected the lightest soil had TO test its
value for vineyard. In spite of all
these unfavorable circumstances most of
the vines took root and fourished till the
hot weather of midsummer, when some
discoloration of leaves appeared. Fear
full of disease, they were sprayed with
the lime and bluestone remedy Tin which
they were dipped before being planted)
and again irrigated, when no more dead
leaves appeared. 1 think now the
change was merely owing to the heat and
dryness, the roots not having attained
great depth. At the present time (Oc-
tober 8th) those vines which the rabbits
have not molested have made vigorous
growth and are green as in midsummer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The democratic
senators were in caucus an hour this morn
ing trying to arrange a scheme for an order
of business during the remainder ct the

who presided over the caucus, should CON
fer with Senator Sherman, representing the
republicans, and endeavor TO secure a
favorable place for such measures US the
democratic senators hold to be of superb or
importance. There was also some talk
alb ut the condition of the nominations.
Different senators related their experience
in their efforts to secure reports from the
committees on nomi ations now hung up,
and much dissatisfaction and indignation
was expre> sed, but no formal action was
taken.
FOUR HUNDRED ON THE HOOK.
1t was said that there are now about 400
nominations which have been mad9 in the
regular course of executive business a rait
ing action by the Senate Although no
such purp) )se has been proclaimed by the
republican senators, the belief was ex-
pressed by democratic senators that it is
the intention of tho republicans to delay
action on the G eater part Of these nomina-
tions until after March in order that the
vacancies thus arising may be filed by Gen.
Harrison.
AN UNUSUAL COURSE.
Such a course of procedure, it was
stated, would be entirely unusual, and a
contrast was drawn between toe action or

SENATE TARIFF SCHEDULES.

The House Committee Turn Them
Over to the Treasury Experts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The House con-
mittee on ways and means this morning
held it's first meeting for several months for
the consideration of the Senate amend
ments to the tariff bill. According to ex-
pectation, after very little discu sion, the
bill and amendments were referred to the
trea'ury department in order to secure
computations as to the effect on the revenue
Of the proposed changes in law.
Inasmu uch as the calendar year
has expired sincs the bill was
reported to the Senate it is possible that
former calculations, which were based on
the imports Of the preceding year, may be
found inaDplicabe at this time. There ap-
pears to be wide difference of opinion be
tween the Senate finance committee and the
WAYS and means committee in regard TO the
effect of the Senate amendments.
WON'T EFFECT A REDUCTION.
Mr. McMillin, a member of the last
named committee, est mated that the bill
as reported to the Senate would in its tariff
sections increase the revenue $13, COO OG1
Since that calculation was made the sugar
b u nty / as been provided for and the tariff
raised on tin, woolens, ETC., so that in Mr..
McMillin's Judgment there is fair
reason to doubt whether the bill
would result in any ret reduction
Of the revenue. The democratic member
Of the committee believe that it will take
only two or three days for treasury ex-
perts to report the probable effect OF the
Senate bill upon the revenues as they have
heretofore estimated the effect of the bill
a, reported from 9 Senate finance com-
mittee. The committee will begin their
consideration of the measure next Thurs
day. even if the report Of ths treasury ex-
perts be not then ready.
NO DIssENsIoNs.
There is no truth in the reports sent ont
from Washington Of di sensions among the
democrats OF the ways and meqns COM
mittee over the Sc ate substitute tariff bill.
Differences OF opinion exist among them as
TO the treatment to be given this bill, Just
as differences Of opinion existed among
them as TO the features of the Mills bill,
but tyese differences will no more lead to
dssensions than did tho e. Mr.. Mills thi1ks
that the committee should recommend
non-concurrence by the House in the Sen
ate substitute as a whole. Some of his demo-
crat colleagues agree with him, w. G.. P.
Breckenridge thinks that the House should
concur In some features Of the Senate sub
stitute and non-colcur in others. Some of
his democratic colleagues agree vita him,
hut all the democrats Of the committee will
act together In harmony on this as on other
matters.
