EDITORS HERALD-Will you kindly
give this place in your DAILY HERALD
and help the farmers?
ASHES AS A FERTILIZER.
Having read some years ago an article
from the experience Of many farmers
from the cotton belt in the South, and
particularly from Georgia, where much
OF the land is very poor, that ashes was
fully equal to any fertilizer that could be
bought for $40 per ton, and being myself
at that time farmer in this county near
Compton, where the land is very rich.
l saved my ashes from the stove and put
them in boxes and barrels until spring,
and then scattered them ,one large spoon
ful Oh each hill of pumpkins and corn.
The result was remarkable. The plants
grew more III four days than they had
before in ten days. l am now trying
| them on young fruit trees set out this
spring, with a result that would surprise
anyone who will try it. The young
limbs are so tender that l have to use
great care in handling them. The
find finds it ,f equally ally. good odd on n,.nsl all
Is,
and flowers, and especially good Oh
lawns. Sprinkle them on the leaves OF
trees quite thick, the same as you would
of land plaster, and you will find them
better, as the ashes will also keep off
insects. l hope men who are planting
young vineyards and orchards will try it
and report through the HERALD. There
are m any furnaces in the city OF Los An
geles to collect from, brick kilns and the
Los Angeles Dessicating Works, which
must be throwing away tons every day,
and all furnaces that burn no coal can be
| gathered ffom. Let not any farmer think
his land is rich, and he don't need them I;
for the ashes contain properties that his
land does not. Try it with a shovelfull
from your stove on each alternate plant,
then go in five days and see ior your
self. J. H.

Fourth of July Fireworks.

EDITOR HERALD have lived in Los
Angeles three years, and have estab-
lished mandatory of fireworks and
blasting material.
Upon reading this mornings papers 1
was surprised to learn that the commit
tee had decided to order fireworks from
New York without even giving anyone a
chance to compete for the work.
1 made display for this city two
years since which was unanimously pro.
nounced the best ever seen here. re-
ceived 5000 for the display, and not $500,
as stated on Thursday.
I employ five hands and buy all my
material in this city, and think home
industry should be patronized, if possi-
ole.
All ask is that the work be awarded
by com mpettion. and to Pacific Coast fac
toriee preferably, as there are three
good ones. W. H. WILSON.

THE BANTA CASE.
Mere witnesses who Say He Drauk
Heavily.

In the BaEta case yesterday in Depart
ment No. of the Superior Court, the
evidence offered was in the same strain
as that given on Friday. Nearly every
witness testified that Banta was during
the lsat years of his life drinking man
Richard Coukling stated that in 1886
Banta said that Pierce, his son-in-law,
would not have any of his money to
spend. Witness had seen Banta num-
Der Of times, and he was usually under
the influence Of liquor.
A. ID. Caldwell said that in March,
1887, he bought lot of Banta, and
when ne took the papers to Banta to
sign, Banta had his wife read them to
see if they were all right. Banta was o
heavy drinker, and seemed to have no
confidence in himself.
II. n. Rust said that Banta had been
under the influence of liquor every time
he met him during the last three or four
years, 80 much 80 tina. witness did not
press Tor subscription to the Library
fund.

ing. Mrs. Banta did business for the fam.
lily.

hard drinker, Witness sent men to
Bsnta's to work, and on two occasions

Several other witnesses testified in a
similar manner and the case was con.
| tinued until tomorrow.

RenOYattng Naples.

NAPLES, June liking Humbert, ac-
companied by Queen Margherita and
the Crown Prince, assisted at the inau-
guration today OF the work Of improving
the sanitary condition of the city. Under
the plans adopted, the poorest districts,
where the cholera epidemic of 1887
made such ravages, will be thoroughly
renovated. Seventeen thousand houses
will be demolished, new streets opened,
and the main street from the central de.
pot intersect the district which now con-
tains the lowest and most pestilential
dwellings. 1t will take ten years to COM
plete the work.

Found Dead.

SANTA Rosa, June 15.-The body Of a
man named Mayes was found Thursday
morning in cabin, on the Bail ranch,
two miles from Geyserville, where it had
lain since death, which is supposed to

The Southern Pacific yesterday issued
the following notice: On the 4th of
July the Southern Pacific Company pro-
poses making half rates for the round
trip from Santa Monica, San Pedro,
Santa Ana, Cotton, Sangus and interme-
dates, good for the return trip July 4th
or 5th. In the order named, the return

time during the ensuing week. Mr..
Storey says that as soon as the right Of
way is obtained, his road will so right in,
and that trains will be running by his
line to Pasadena inside of four weeks.
There is plenty OF rolling-stock on hand I,
and special train service will be ar
ranged in addition to the connections
with the Monrovia line.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-16
THE RAPID TRANSIT.
The Also street Terminus to be
opened Today.

The Also street terminus 10 De
opened Today.
Today the Aliso-street line of the Mon
rovia Rapid Transit road will be opened
to the public. This will, therefore, alter
the present city terminus, and instead of
running to the Mission road the omnibus
communication will be made at Also.
The new quarters are situated at the cor
ner OF Anderson and Also streets, on the
north side of the bridge, and is, there
fore, only about half the distance
that it has hitherto been neces-
sary to traverse before the cars
can be reached. The company has
secured four acres Of land at the new ter
minus, and will at once put up sta
tion and freight warehouse. Before this
work is done, however, it is trusted that
the Council will have had the street
graded, for at that point Also street IS
a. present four feet below the established
level, and is therefore unsightly. The
plans OF reaching the plaza have by no
ried through later on. The Alisc street
station will, however, always be main
tanned, and will be the company's city
freight depot.
THE PASADENA LINE.
AS for the new line that ia being con-
structed from Shorb's to PaHadena, the
grading is done, the track-lsyers are
werk and the southern limits Of Pasa-
dena will be reached in twelve days. A
special meeting of the Council Of the
"Cfown Of the Valley" was held yester
day to deliberate on matters regarding the
right-of-way for the Monrovia road into
town. Tie original request By
the company was to enter by
Broadway, but this proving i'm
practicable, an appeal WAS made
for admission w the alley between Fair
Oaks and Company. This is, however,
she route by which Mr.. Cross desires to
bring in the Cole-Rodgers road, and
complications have thus aT;Scc .hat will
probably end IN zoe alley being widened
and the roads admitted side by eide. At
the meeting of the City Fathers yester--
day several amendments offered
by the Monrovia road were
heard, but adjournment was
taken without action. The matter
will probably be settled, however, some
