AIden,s Manifold Cyclopedia.

Volume XIV takes this important
work from Exclude to Floyd. In general
makeup it resembles the preceding
numbers of the series. There is the same
skill in the selection and treatment OF
topics, and the same careful editing
which has characterized the work from
the beginning. In fact, as it progresses
its great merits become still more con
spicuous. The combination OF diction-
ary and cycopedia is an excellent idea,
and is being well carried out. The judi
cious use of illustrations is helpful
feature, and the treatment of subjects is
clear, direct and practical. Thus, while
it is of great value to professional men,
it is also thoroughly serviceable and
helpful work for the masses of the
people. Among the subjects treated in
this volume are Excommunicate,
pages; Exodus, 2 pages; Extreme Unc-
ton, page; Eye, 20 pages; Factory, 2
pages; Factory Acts, pages; Faith and
Faith Cure, each over l page; Fallacy,

am informed, through your valuable
paper, that movement is on foot to
compel orchardists to clear their orchards
of red, white or black scale, or woolly
apis, if any of the trees should be found
infected. The orchardists of this COM
munity fully believe that spraying is not
the proper means of ersdicating these
pests. Whole orchards have been ruined
more by spraying in six months than by
any or all these pests in two years. There
are orchards here by the side of each
other, that became infected at the same
time, and those that we're sprayed have
long since stopped bearing, while those
that were not had a good crop of oranges
on this season. We believe the only real
and possible way to exterminate these
pests is to inquire into their origin and
their native ailments and enemies. No
matter how thoroughly tree may be
sprayed, it is impossible to kill every in
sect, and very short time will suffice
for very few insects to colonize whole
orchard. Experience teaches these facts.

RI HYDER HAMMOND.
he County is to 60 for the Va
auerO,s BOndsmen.


A few days ago the Board of Super
visors passed resolution calling upon
the District Attorney to prosecute the
bondsmen of El Hyder Hammond, alias
the Vaouero of San Fernando, whom the
Republican party in 1884 elected Tax
Collector, and who skipped within a
year, leaving the county about $4,000
out of pocket by his embezzlement.
Hammond's sponsors in baptism, when
they named him, builded better than they
knew when they conferred on him the
pranomen of Ell Hyder. He is the great
est hider of the times, for since his
departure hence, not leaving a lock
of his hair, the winds that watt over the
seas have never waited a breath of his
whereabouts. Since Ell took flight the
days have come, the days have gone, but
thus far no effort has been made to re-
cover the stolen money from the unfor-
tunate, but trusting gentlemen, who in
an evil day put their names on the bonds
of the festive vaquero Of the San Fer
nando plains. To be sure the amount
distributed over the total assessment Of
the county would be a very small per-
centage. 1t is only little infnitesimal
part of mill on the dollar of
assessed value, and only a cent or
30 on each dollar of the taxes
paid into the County Treasury. Nor
will it come hard on the beguiled bonds
men to pay their just quota of the
amount stolen by the defaulting Hyder
and squandered on worthless women in
the bagnios of this angelic city. 1t is a
pity that proceedings we're not pressed
in due and diligent style, for the recovery
of the cash. 1t may at this late day be
hard to catch all the bondsmen, or catch
ing them to find their coin. Some of
them had more money during the boom
than they could gather up today. How
ever, some of them are very sufficient"
men as Shylock sizes up bondsmen.
Here is the list in full:
L. Bi6by, $500; B; F. Porter, o$2,500;
lothian Bixby, 5000; 6ana Chss. Maclsy' $1,000;
s. 900 K !. s. coof, 5000 $ G. H. BonebraGe,, naNe,
$4,000 F Holbrook, SIS 900; E. F. Spence
$1,000; Albert Brown, $1,000; Ralph Rogers,
5000; H. H. Boyce, So 900: 8. c, Hubbeil,
$4,000: J. w. Lord, $5 900; Z, Bouton, $2 900;
=. W. Stoll. $5 900; W. T. Williams, $500;
M. White, So, 900; E. P. johnson, $1,000; A. T.
Currer, So, 500; Phillip G. Stoll, $1,000; Phil
Hirshfeld, $4,000; J. NJ. Thomas; $4,000;
total, $105,000,
The total deficit calls for only $l1 on
the 81 900 of the bond. Those who
promised that Ell Hyder was UP to par
in honesty, and staked their ducats to
back their views, should not hold it a
hardship to be obliged to pay only $l1
for each 81 200. Most men have to
meet their obligations in larger ratio.

A QUEER LAW.
Collecting Mileage ON n Summons

Collecting Mileage on n Summons
Sent by Mail.
There is queer state of things exist
in this commonwealth as an incident OF
changing from one system of laws to
another. Some years ago-indeed, until
recently-nearly all the county officers
were paid in fees. All the laws were
framed by the politicians with an eye
singly to the swelling of those fees. A
fee was charged citizen for every turn
the Sheriff or clerk made in his behalf.
When the fee system was done
away with and the salary system put
in it's place, a good many things
were overlooked that ought to
have been reformed. Here is one OF
them. The Sheriff has summons to
serve at Santa Monica or Elizabeth Lake.
He puts it in an envelope and under a
three-c cent stamp sends it to his deputy
at the given point. The deputy meets
his man on the street and duly serves
the paper. There are fees and fees and
fees to pay from the time this paper
is first drawn until it is served. !.
The queer fact is that the Sheriff
charges mileage on it from this city to
where it is served, just as if his deputy
had gone over the ground and spent two
or three days in serving the paper. While
the officials got the fees for pay, nothing
was heard of the matter. Now it goes
into the County Treasury. The officials say
it is a question. Well, it is.

settles down to a steady business. Num-
Der ID, the last we'll on the list, is now
down 100 feet. 1t will have to be bored
to between 800 and 1000 feet to find oil,
if the stratum dips as it is supposed to at
the point where the hole is being made.
Number 8 has been an excellent well,
giving up good quantity of oil each day
since the pumps were set at work in ii
many months ago. 1t is down to q
depth of $50 feet, and, from its situation
in the cafion, it looks as if q better flow
might be had 1,100 or 1900 feet. The
drills are now at work, sinking The hole

THE q. P. RAILROAD.
Being Footfrce In Oregon, Will
Build Here?

bu1id Here!
The Union Pacific Railroad has had a
big fight on hand up in Idaho and Oregon
with the Northern Pacific and Oregon
Navigation interests. For long time
the road has thought it would be forced
to build to Portland in order to guard its
Oregon interests. All this, however, has
been settled, and the plan of building to
the webfoot metropolis is put aside in
definitely.
This matter has vital interest to
Southern California. All signs have
indicated that the Union Pacific system
was very desirous Of getting to tide-water
in this section. But the road knew it
could not build to Portland and to Los
Angeles simultaneously. Hence it has
put off doing anything in this direction
until that matter up in Oregon should be
adjusted. That being done it is not too
much to say that developments in this
direction may be looked for.
day or two ago a HERALD reporter
met business man of this city, who is
known to be closely related to those who
have the Union Pacifc's interests in
hand, and the circumstances outlined
above were discussed. He said: "The
Union Pacific las secured trackage over
the Santa Fe lines from Barstow to Los
Angeles. expect now that the road is
footfree from the Oregon imbroglio, to
hear of the letting of contracts all along
the line to Barstow from Salt Lake at any
time. 1t is my opinion that within a
year the road between the two points
Just named will be all finished.
"The Utah Central and the Utah
Southern roads have formed censolida-
ton, and the bonds are up to 55 per
cent. 1t looks as if capital had become
confident that there was good invest
ment in this new line. Look out for
news at any day.

The Division Superintendent.

A day or two ago the HERALD mem
toned an intended meeting of all the
Division Superintendents of the South
ern Pacific system, to take place at San
Francisco about the middle of this
month. The purpose for which these
officials are to convene is to formulate
a new set of rules and regulations for all
employees of this road. 1t will include
all the Superintendent from San Fran
cisco to Portland, from Ogden to Los
Angeles and from Los Angeles to El
Paso. There will be about a dozen OF
these gentlemen present at the meeting,
and the mileage represented will be
4 ,244 miles. That is the length of the
Pacific system of the Southern Pacific
Company.
