The writer has within the past six or
eight weeks gone generally over this sec
ton. He has seen the vineyards about
at Redlands, Ontario, Pomona,
the San Gabriel Valley, those
about Glendale, Burbank, Monte Vista
and many other districts. These vine
yards are generally looking as
we'll as ever they did. Tue
new vineyards eet within the past two or
three years are doing particularly well,
At Norwalk, Rivera, Los Nietos and
other places, there are many patches OF
vines in robust health. Those above
Burbank, along the highest bench OF the
mess, are tie picture Of perfect health.
In many cases, vines that had been
looking very bad, are greatly improved
by the use Of the remedies recon-
mended By Professor Dowlin, Mr..
Shorb and others. In some instances
whole vineyards that are now looking
we'll are said to have been badly affected
a year ago. And even in the very midst
of the worst infected districts, at Ana
helm and Santa Ana, there are notable
cases OF small patches of vines that have
shown no sign of succumbing to the
NAL nero. At Anaheim certain of the
vignerons have taken heart of grace and
set out new vines during the past Spring,
This is. OF course, somewhat of an ex,
pertinent, for the reason that it is
almost impossible to be sure one is get
ting sound cuttings. 1t is well known
that similar disease attacked the Ger,
man vineyards ecore of years ago, and
that by cessing to plant until the dis
ease had finally run its course, and then
setting out perfectly sound vines the
vineyards were fully restored. II
is not pleasant to see sectiona
jealousy such as always exists up coun
try against Los Angeles, taking up thi:
new cry OF wolff" to attempt to frighter
immigration away from this part Of the
State. These ungracious. untrue anc
ungenerous methods always prove to be
the worst sort Of bomeraDgs and do the
greatest damage to the unskillful users
who seek to destroy others by these
means.

A RecIsIon Reversed.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The Supreme Court
Of Illinois, today, reversed. in effect, the
noted decision of Judge Prendergaet, of
Chicago, in the big Lindauer litigation.
Judge Prendergast, in that case, enunci-
ated for the first time, the principle that
the preferring of certain creditors, by
confessiDg judgments in their favor,
amounted in law to voluntary assign
ment. 1t is intimated that the Lindauer
brothers and Bernard Kuppenheimer,
who was first appointed IL cir receiver,
will sue Judge Prendergast for trespass.
Kuppenheimer, it will be remembered,
was sent to Jail for twenty-four hours for
disobeying Prendergest's order in the
matter

Murder or suicide?

SAN Francisco, June 15.-A young
woman, named Lena Davis, was found
in room of lodging house on Stockton
street, this afternoon, with a bullet
wound below the left nipple. A pistol
was found on the floor by her side. She
said that thickset man entered the
room, and after shooting her, locked the
door and escaped by the window. The
bullet passed through her body and was
cut out of her back. The police surgeon
says there is but little hope of her re-
covery.
Mr.. Davis, the woman's husband, was
notified of the affair and visited her at
the hospital. He seemed much affected
at the fate of his wife, and gave it as his
opinion that che became tired of life and
committed the deed herself.

An object Lesson for the Senate
Commiitee.

No one can visit Riverside without
being impressed with the amazing pos.
sIuilities of development in this section
of the State. Ten years ago the mesa
which now constitutes the rich orange
and vine plantations of that fiourishing
community was what would be very
properly termed arid lands. Judge
North h ad planted email settlement at
the upper edge of the town, and with
the aid of moderate supply of water
which he had conveyed to his land,
had demonstrated its value for the cult
vation of vines and citrus trees. Then a
large canal was brought in from the
river and carried to the lands for miles
below the town. The place grew apace.
Beautiful homes were built and extensive
orchards were set out. A magnificent
boulevard, lined with trees, was laid out
for several miles. Another canal
was brought in and the area OF irrigated
lands was greatly enlarged. The steady
increase of production and the returns
from the sale of oranges have demon
strated the great value of these originally
arid lands when euppliedwith water. The
fruit year just closed up makes very
satisfactory showing. The total number
of carloads of oranges shipped this
season was 927. These contained 264, ,45e
boxes. They sold in the orchards as
follows: Navels, $2.75@sS5O per box
seedlings, $l.65; budded, $l:90@$2. The
general average would be about 50 40 per
box. That will give a money return of
$69S, 1920. Add to this the return for
lemons, $SS, 200, and we have total OF
$7S6, ,435.20. And yet the industry is
only in its infancy at Riverside. There
are thousands of acres Of new landithere
that viii, be planted with trees and
brought into bearing in the next few
years. The raisin crop has also been
profitable at Riverside this year. and will
continue to be an improving industry
there. If the Senate Arid Land Com
mittee desire to learn in a short OBJ.
iect lesson W hat can be done with the
unirrigated lands of this country, they
could not do better than to come to this
section and see what water has done in
few years for such places as Riverside
Pomona, Pasadena and scores of others
in our region. They will then realize
the tremendous possibilities of this whole
sub-tropical belt with proper systems Of
irrigation.

Crooked Election work.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. , June 15.-The United
States Grand Jury, which has been in
vestigating the manner in which the
elections in the Tenth Congressional Dis
trict have been conducted during the
past four years, submitted their report
10 the court this morning. Indictments
were returned against nearly all the
judges and clerks, some two hundred in
number, of the last election in this
Congressional District The particular
offence for which most of these men were
indicted is for not returning the poll list
and count to the Clerks OF the County
and Circuit Courts of their respective
counties, as the law requires The
remainder of them are indicted for taking
the election books away from the polling
places to conduct the count.

NEVER was the Angelic city in better
situation to attract new population and
to make rapid strides in all lines of pro-
gress than at present. Her future is
now an assured fact. She is to be, as
she now is, for all time to come the sec
ond city on the Coast. She will run the
Bay City hard to outstrip her, or at least
to make honors easy. The blight to the
grape vines has been brought to a full
stop. Some benign influence seems to
have taken its place, like Aaron the High
Priest, between the living and the dead i,
and the plague is staid. The
same is true of the scale pest
which has been destroying the orange
groves. A period is put to his history in
this section. Then the city is excelIently
improved in many lines. Her streets
are good, and she has many miles of fine
sidewalks. There is no longer any need
of her citizeus being lost in the mud in
the center of her public thoroughfares.
The cable system just get in motion is
another great betterment of our conii-
ton. Business people and laborers may
hereafter get to and from their homes in
all parts of the city with dispatch and
comfort. The poor man will be able to
live at some distance from the center Of
the city, and thus secure moderate rents
without being all day getting to and FROM
his occupation. By next winter the
great outfall sewer will be built, and
then the health of the city will be, as the
fine climate indicates it should be, by far
the best of any city in the Union. There
are great improvements to be made all
about us which will give employment to
a large number of people, Railroads are
to be built, wharves will be constructed,
hotels are to be erected, streets paved i,
sewers built, and no end to enterprises
put in motion. All we need at this
moment is that we shall have confidence
in our resources, and dull times will pass
away. II is a matter OF faith out of
which will come works of no mean nature
in the immediate future.

CALIFORNIA will produce this season
about 60,000,0O0 bushels of wheat. AL
lowing the State to contain 1,2O0, 600
souls of all ages and classes, this is fifty
bushels head for every man, woman
and child in this State. At fifty cents a
bushel it is $25 head for each inhabi-
tant. Taking the whole Of the Union
outside of California the average is about
six bushels head, or at the same price
about SO worth of wheat for each inhabi-
tant. 1t is estimated that each per.
son, allowing seed for next year, requires
five bushels of wheat a year. The Union,
outside Of the Golden State, therefore
produces one bushel or so cents worth Of
wheat head for export, while we pro-
duce forty-fve bushels, or $3.50 worth
for export. California is the richest
State in the Union by all odds, and of-
fers by far the greatest inducements to i'm.
migrants seeking for homes or to better
their condition. For wheat is, after all is
said, the product in which we have the
least advantage over the other States.

The Winemaking Industry.

SAN Francisco, June 15.-Reports from
the vineyard districts promise large
grape crop this year. So far no great
damage has been done by pests or in.
sects. The indications are that low
prices for grapes and wine will continue
to rule. Last years vintage is rapidly
pouring into San Francisco. Most of it
is being reshipped to Eastern and other
markets by rail and sea. Since the first
of the year over five million gallons has
been received. Nearly half Of the years
vintage is still in the hands of the pro.

The Chippewa Sensation Arose
From a Drunk en- md ian,s CrIme.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, June 15.-Swan
Magnusson, who was shot at Mile Laos,
was brought here yesterday and placed
in the hospital. Magnusson says that
he has always been on the best Of terms
with the Indian, Wadens, who did the
shooting, and is at loss to account for
the attack upon him, except that Wadena
was crazy drunk. Wadena called him
to the door at midnight on Wednesday
night, and, without a word, fred upon
him. Credible reports brought here this
afternoon from Mora are to the effect
that Magnusscn was the only person in.

Colonel Donahue a Croaker.

CHICAGO, June 15.-James M. Dona-
hue, President of the San Francisco and
Northern Pacific road, in conversation
with reporter today, said that there are
apprehensions that this years wine pro-
duct in California will have to be sacri-
feed at loss Of 80 per cent. or more to
the wine dealers of San Francisco. In
Sonoma county, the great wine district,
he says, every cellar ia full, and as the
present prices are far below cost, the out
look is not promising for the producers.

THE San Diego Sun, like local con-
temporary here in Los Angeles, is eter-
nslly putting Lower California, and de-
Tending that country against the just
criticisms Of the HERALD. There seems
to be sort of gobbling game going on
there. The International Company
gobbled up the lands, and got up min
ing fake to keep up the interest of out
siders then it was in turn gobbled up by
an English syndicate, which has now
gone into the gobbling business on still
more extended scale than its predecessor.
The object, however, from the start has
been to gull the public and sud gobble
up the ducata of the unwary. We have
the authority of the San Diegan that the
Sun thinks it is located in San Diego,
when in fact it exists just across the
Mexican line, near Tia Juans. That &C.
counts for the fact that it always ene:zes
when the syndicate takes snuff.
