NEVER before did folly reach lower
point than in permitting few rich ma
bobs to endanger and destroy the lives
of so many thousands for the sake of
their pastime, as in the case of the
Conemaugh dam above Johnstown, Pa.
This dam was nearly 1000 feet long, and
its total height was about 100 feet. The
pressure on the entire dam was equal to
nearly 100000 tons, and there were
stored in the reservoir over 100, ,000,00
tons of water. The valley below
was filed with industries, represent
ing enormous wealth, and there
were dwelling along the river below this
dam many thousands of poor africans
and laborers. The only purpose of the
dam was io preserve fish, which a few
rich men amused themselves in catching.
1t was decidedly tame way of sporting.
Such dam in such place ought to have
been well built, but, instead, this one
was constructed in utter disregard of all
the rules of engineering science.

A RETROSPECT into the municipal gov
ernment of Los Angeles is occasionally
not without profit, or at least instruction.
Now that the discussion is going on
about the outfall sewer, difficulties are
being experienced as to the right OF way.
The gentlemen who control the route via
the Centinela absolutely decline to per-
NIT its passage over their property, and
condemnation will have to be resorted
to, with payment of damages, to get that
outlet to the ocean. Yet, two years ago,
Judge Silent, and the corporation which
then controlled that portion of the
Centinela Sausal Redondo ranchos,
through which the sewer would go, by
that route, made two highly advantage
GUS propositions to the city, by both OF
which the municipality would not only
have got the right of way for nothing,
but would have received a large
doucew in addition. Judge Silent
first offered to give the city
one thousand acres of the sausal
Redondo ranch for the privilege Of re-
ceiving the city's sewage and using it as
fertilizer. If this proposition had been
accepted the city would have got rid Of
its exuvie, and would, besides, have got
land which, in few years, would have
paid the entire expenses of our municipal
outfall sewerage system. The second
proposition, also made by Judge Silent
and his associates, was to pay the city
$1,000 for the privilege of receiving
and using the nuisance about which such
a large outcry is now being made. AS to
the precise details Of this last offer our
memory is at fault, but we think that the
amount was increased to two hundred
thousand dollars, and that an ordinance
was passed, in some shape, accepting
Judge Silent's proposal, which was
vetoed by Mayor Workman. We have
recited the substantial facts of the matter,
and they show to what an extreme blum
ders can be carried in municipal legisla-
tion. That sewage and irrigation are val
liable factors in the dry lands south of
the city is shown by the fact that, within
short distance of the city line, towards
the south, unirrigated lands rent for So so
an acre, while irrigated lands, which re-
ceive the surplus city water, rent for $25
and upwards an acre. There is great dis
content in Los Angeles today at the pros
pect of wasting the splendid fertilizer
comprised in our sewage and surplus
zanja waters; and, if the outtall sewer
scheme is defeated, it will be owing to
this common sense sentiment. Why are
not city governments always both sensi-
BILE and prescient? Probably this is only
another variation of DR.. Johneon's ia
nous query. "Why is a fox's tail

PERHAPS the pungent communication
of Mr.. J. W. Potts in other columns will
open the eyes of the authorities to the
danger of enforcing arbitrary public i'm
provements that will injuriously affect
individuals. There is no doubt that
there are number Of changes OF street
grades ordered which will in many
instances operate to actually confscate
private property. The lowering of Tenn
pie street at Bunker Hill avenue,
whilst it will doubtless be beneficial
to many property-holders, will also
be ruinous TO others. A gentleman
who has built on Pearl street, near
Temple, told US that the lowering of that
grade involves the raising of the grade at
his property, so that the street will leave
his house in hole, notwithstanding he
had filled in his lot before building to a
level with the old line of the street. He
is one of great many whose property
will be practically coniscated, for the
cost of filling in the street and raising
the lots is more than the property will
bear. Those who cannot pay their as
sessments will be sold out and removed,
and those who can will feel that it is
better to let their lots 60 than pay more
than they are worth to grade the street
in front of them. Messieurs, would it
not be we'll to go slow?

to attach the insurance money. Attach
ments have been granted by the Supreme
Court to the amount of $43, ,431. The
Sheriff has served attachments on about
twenty-five insurance companies in this
city, but most of them are foreign COM
panies who claim that they only adjust
losses on this side of the Rocky Noun
tains and that all Pacific Coast losses are
adjusted in San Francisco. The credit
ors in the latter city, it is said, have
attached all the insurance money in San
Francisco. Their last statement to Brad

Murder Most FOUL

GRASS VALLEY, June 1S.-Last even.
about e O'Clock Flossy Lord, daughter of
James II. Lord, was found dead on the
porch OF the family residence, two miles
west OF Grass Valley. She was shot
through the head, the ball going into the
right temple and lodging under the skin
on the left side. The shooting may have
been accidental, as she used pistol to
fire at birds in cherry trees. A pistol
was found near the body with two cham
bers empty. The girls age was 16 years.
Deceased was in town in the afternoon,
and in good spirits. The inquest is in
progress this afternoon.
Later developments go to show that
the young girl was foully murdered.

THE English sparrow has driven out
the linnet and the other birds that once
abounded in San Francisco, Oakland and
Sacramento. He is the Chinaman OF the
feathered tribe, and has the faculty Of
multiplying and spreading to an unlim-
tied extent. 1t is but question of time
when he will reach Los Angeles, and
when he does, then our mocking bird,
lipnet and oriole will have to go. He
will not only drive away our songsters,
but he will devour and destroy our
fruits. We would advise war of exter-
mination upon these pests just as soon
ss they put in an appearance here.
They are go injurious to fruit up north
that men and boys are stationed in
orchards to pepper them with fine shot
The cherry crop in some places is only
preserved from their ravages by envelop-
ing the trees with nets. The English
sparrow is to the feathered tribe what
the Norman rat has been to the rodent
species of the civilized world. He is the
most belligerent and voracious, and,
therefore, the 'fittest" to survive.

The Forthcoming Illustrated Her.

During the coming week the illus
rRATED HERALD will be issued. 1t will
be the ninth of the series, the first hav-
ing made its appearance about this time
in 1880. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the initial number OF this publica-
ton did more to inaugurate what is
known as the Los Angeles "boom''
than any other single agency.
The current number will COM
prize forty-eight pages, and will
surpass all its predecessors in splendor
of illustrations and copiousness and value
of letterpress. 1t is the frozen truth that
no publication devoted to advertising 6
section has ever been issued comparable
to the Forthcoming ILLUSTRATED HERALD
1t is simply superb. 1t will be sold fol
fifteen cents per single copy, and to news
dealers and others in quantities at re-
duced figure.

Late this afternoon the Indians as

Afraid OF His Horse and Blue Horse
spoke against the bill, and
some of the half.breeds in
favor of it. Red Cloud was very
vicious In his speech, referring con-
stantly to the provisions OF the treaty of
1868, which he said had not been at all full
filled, and saying that they wanted to
be paid what is now due them before
giving up more land. The speeches of
the other chiefs were in a similar strain,
although not so radical. Major Warner
and Gene raj Crook and Governor Forster
spoke at length in reply, explaining again
the provisions of the oil, and why they
should sign. General Crook told them
if they are to live at all they must be-
come self.supporting. In a pond, he
said, the big fish always swallow
the little ones, and when white
men come among the Indians, as
they will do in few years, in
spite OF all the Government can do to
prevent them, the Indians will be
the little fish, unless they agree to the
provisions of this bill and pro-
tect their land by getting patents
on it. He told the Indians that the
trouble. with them was they always get
advice from men who want to live off of

that time it was conformity settled with
the creation of the world that in the year
1889 there should be such person as
Ben Harrison on earth, and that he
should be President of the United
States. All this having been settled in
the musty ages of the past, Harrison
firmly believes that no power could have
prevented his election, and those who
assisted him were simply carrying out
the supreme mandate and couldn't help
themselves. Therefore he owes them
no thanks. Harrison isn't thankful for
ANYTHING or to anybody. Probably he
NAV congratulate the Lord on having
carried out hie part of the contract to
make Harrison President, but it's doubt
ful. | don't say this to criticise Harri-
son. He was horn that way and can't
help it. 1t is necessary to know these
things to understand and appreciate
Harrison's policy since his Inauguration.
If he isn't renominated he will simply
say: We'll, it is the country's misfor-
tunep"
When it is borne in minis that General
Harrisen's administration is as yet only
three months old, and that such en-
phatic expressions of dissatisfaction are
not generally developed until the cele-
brated "off year." the outlook for the
Republican party is certainly not encour-
aging. All the indications are that fac
tional fights of great bitterness will
break out at the coming session of Con-
gress-squabbles that will not end until
in 1892, the Democratic party is restored
to power.

The embankment was mere
" fill," such as is usually made
to carry railway track. The clay was
not even "rammed," but was merely
dumped in a loose state. The face of
this embankment was thinly rip.rapped
with loose stones. There was material
enough in the fill to have made a good
dam bad it been properly placed and
we'll "rammed." A well built dam
"crowns" in the center, thus forcing the
overflow to the sides, the strongest
points, and thus the stream
is separated into two heads.
This dam sagged in the center,
and here the "spillway' was merely the
same dirt heap, faced with the same thin
skin of rip-rap. The "waste" water was
all concentrated where the sag came in
the middle of the dam at the weakest
point, and the moment the spill" be-
gan, also began the erosion of the earth
work. How rapidly the flood swept
away the dam may be gathered
from the fact that in forty five
minutes from the time the "spill"
began the reservoir WAS empty, and the
hundred million tons of water were
laundering down the bed of the creek.
The momentum of such weight of water
moving at such pace is incalculable.
The tame pleasures of the few rich ma
bobs cost the country the terrible de-
struction of property and life which has
shocked the civilized world.

EASTERN people, in a starved condition
as to fruit as regular dietetic regimen,
naturally enough enjoy in marked de-
gree the small quantity they are able to
come by. Such people come to Califor-
MIA and enjoy many varieties of fruit in
unstinted measure. In due course OF
time they get surfeit of fruit as an
article of diet; and then, when fruits OF
all sorts cloy on the palate, they
cry out that California fruits are lacking
in all the best elements of flavor, and are
in fact coarse and insipid. To disturb
the mental equilibrium OF those people
who cling 80 tenaciously to the pleasures
of the imagination as to Eastern fruits,
comes Mr.. J. X. Armsby, Of Chicago
whose house handles, perhaps, more
fruit than any other in the West. He
states that the California dried
fruit is incomparably better thar
that grown in the East. He states
that whereas the dried peaches OF Della
ware last year sold for 4 to cents s
pound, those of California sold for
to s cents, or nearly twice as much
Mr.. Armsby is very encouraging in hi
tone to fruit.growers in the Colder
State.s He tells them to 90 on with
their fruit raising. He tell
new men in the industry not tt
be deferred because they have
not recognized brand to sell their pre-
duct under. He says to these. put VI
your fruit well, send it to good house tt
handle, and it will SELL Fruit, he says
sells on its merits, not on its brand. HI
goes on to say that so suited is thi:
State to fruit culture, and so fine
is the flavor Of that grown here
that it is only question o.
time until California fruit shall drive
all other from the market, and be the
only saleable fruit in the country. This
is the view of an Eastern man who
speaks by the card. There is nothing al
all triste in the view. California Can
bear it. She lifts her sonabrero to you, Mr..
Armsby.
