themselves the question, which is the
best to adopt for their city.
There is one point which is the most
important of all, in measure, it, practi-
cally speaking, does not make any differ.
ence what kind of pavement you adopt
provided the work is thoroughly carried
out. Are the citizens of Los Angeles, fol-
instance, content with the way in which
First street has been paved? 1t would
be difficult to find work Of the same class
80 badly done.
It must be clearly understood that ]
have no interest whatever in saying
whether First street or any other street
in Los Angeles is well or badly paved,
excepting this, that US become q resi-
dent OF Los Angeles or its neighborhood
1 shall take pride in seeing the city
built up in way that its climate de.
s,rves.
People may not believe, or are unwil.
ling to believe, that it requires as much
engineering skill to construct street az
it does to construct q railway. This let.
ter is written before any new Street Su-
perintendent is appointed. The resi-
dents here may be reminded that il
requires q man of almost equal knowl-
edge to be Street Superintendent as il
does for City Engineer.
Now, to proceed, in my opinion, the
best paving to adopt for Los Angeles is
asphalt; but there are such things as
asphalt and asphalt. Fort street has
been lately paved. The question is, Is
that asphalt good? l have no hesitation
in saying it is not. 1t is not we'll laid,
and in less than three years will be all in
holes. The essence of the strength Of a
building is its foundation. Has the as
phalt which is laid on Fort street any
foundation? My experience in the
world has been that about the thinnest
concrete ever saw put underneath as
pkalt was about four inches. The streets
in London are paved with one solid foot
Of real good concrete before the asphalt
is laid. Now, Fort street has few
stones laid down on the surface. quite
independent of the sinkage which may
occur. Through water, sewers and
other causes, the ground is more or less
bound to sink; but, independent of that,
good asphalt is as hard as the hardest
granite, and l can show asphalt, laid
down in the street before the Mansion
House, in London, which, if you take a
penknife and try to make an impression
on it. it is very much the same as trying
to make an impression upon hard gran.
ite. Further, to lay that asphalt pei
square foot costs less than it does to lay
the asphalt on Fort street.

The Result Of the Trial Of W. More
Young.

The case of w. More Young, oi
Fresno, charged with having made false
returns to the Revenue Department Of
the amount of brandy manufactured by
the Fruitvale Wine Company, of which
he was secretary. was brought to con-
elusion yesterday afternoon. When the
United States District Court opened
yesterday morning, Hon. w. E. @.
Munday commenced his argument for
the defendant, whose wife and child were
in court. He reviewed the evidence
thoroughly, and made mastery speech,
holding that his client had no knowledge
that brandy was being made at the
winery for the purpose of fortifying the
wine, .orthat more was made than had
been accounted for in the reports.
He was followed by United States
District Attorney Denis, who had con-
Quoted the case for the Government
with much ability, and then Judge Ross

had made from those furnished him by
the attorneys. The jury retired shortly

agreement could be reached, but it ap-
pears that a compromise verdict was
reached. There were five counts in the
charge and the jury brought in verdict

Street Paving, and How 1t Should
he constructed.

lBy Edward F. G. Griffith, associate mem Der
Institute Of Civil Engineers; Fellow of Royal
Sanitary Institute of Great ritain.
The paving Of Los Angeles is matter
which concerns every citizen.
Now, at first sight, many may think,
we'll, it is not my business; what can it
matter to me how it is paved?
Now, did it ever strike those who may
thus look upon the question, that it is
one which concerns each individual very
closely? Is it not the case that muddy
streets mean soiled clothes, wet feet,
dirty boots and dirty houses? To clean
the clothes wears them out, to clean
your boots is very expensive luxury,
and one only to be INDUCED in by the
rich to clean the houses costs both time
and labor, besides doing much damage
to carpets, etc.
The amount of paving already executed
in Los Angeles is not very large, and the
question which naturally arises to ones
mind first, is: Do the majority of the
citizens consider that the paving already
done, including that of the sidewalks,
satisfactory, or, in other words, have
they received good value for the money
expended, and if not, why?
Were the question of street paving a
new process, then one would naturally
expect certain amount of failure, but
when the city can obtain the most pre-
else information as to the methods
adopted by other cities, it seems strange
that this city has as vet, not been able
to profit by the mistakes and failures of
others.
1t is q fact that after all the labor and
money which has been expended, the
citizens of Los Angeles would find it diff
ficult to show twenty yards of street paw.
ing, which means from the face of one
house to the face of the opposite house,
that are actually constructed on sound
and common sense principles?
1t must be understood that do not re-
fer to the work which has been carried
out within the past few months.
Now what is street paving, including
sidewalks and curbing? First, it must
be smooth, easily swept. dry in all
weathers and must wear.
In designing street paving there are
many questions to be considered, which
to the uninitiated appear frivolous, but
which at the same time are Of the ut
most importance to the comfort OF the
citizens. Where, except in Los Angeles,
can . man walk at night, and even in the
day, without knocking the heels off his
boots, through one piece of sidewalk be-
ing two or three inches higher than the
other, or fall into the ditch Take as 4
sample the corner of Sixth and Olive.
Climate has an immense deal to do
with tho character and description of the
paving to be used. To express exactly
what ! mean, in cold countries you re.
quire warm paving and in hot countries
you require cold one; in the latter,
however, you have to pay special atten-
ton to !the glare. Few know, except.
ing those that have to live in q city like
Los Angeles, how painful the glare be-
comes. In climate such as this, it is
impossible to prevent the effects Of glare,
but . great deal can be done to obviate
It.
There are many different kinds Of paw
ing and every locality has to choose that
which ID best adapted tothe climate, and
the citizens of Los Angeles have to ask

A Busy Time in the Building-The Pro-
fessors Moving In.

All is hustle and activity now at the Catholic
university preparing for the dedication cere-
monies next week. Furniture is being I'M
packed and put in place and the rooms are be-
ing fitted up for the professors and students,
who will take up their abode in the new divin-
ity building in the course of few days. The
halls are filled with trunks and boxes belong
ing to the professors and, as each one is bring
ing his private library, it makes a very
formidable array. Workmen, under the di-
rection of Father ORION. the librarian. are
busy unpacking boxes of books and placing the
contents on the shelves in the library, which is
situated beneath the main chapel. Eventually
until the library building is erected all books
are to be placed in the library of divinity hall
The university already has collection Of
about 10000 books, which will be put
in place by the last of next week
Workmen are also busy putting up and
tuning the large organ which is to stand in the
gallery of the chapel. Tho main parlor on the
first floor is finished and the portraits are hung
One is large portrait of Pope Leo XIII by
Ugolini. which Pope Leo himself presented to
the university. The pope is represented
seated in the pontifical chair, clad in
the royal vestments of his Office. His
face wears a benign expression and
his left hand is stretched forward as
though he were engaged in pleasant CONVEX
sation. There are also two portraits by Signor
Gregori, one of George Washington and one Of
Bishop Carroll, and portrait of DR.. Thos. F.

PENSION OFFICE REFORMS,
Original Claims Will Have the Prefer.
erence-NO Smoking.

Gen. Raum, the commissioner of pensions,
in the process Of becoming familiar with the
business OF the Office, has gained some inform
alton relative to the character of the pension
claims pending before the Office. He finds
that about half of the entire number
are what are known as original cases, namely,
the claims of persons who have never received
pension. The remainder are claims for in
crease Of pension or a rerating on account of
some error or injustice. He has reached the
conclusion that the most important class of
these cases is that of the original
claims. He thinks that person who has never
received pension is more entitled to prompt
consideration than one who is already in receipt
of pension. 1t is his intention. however, to
give all claims fair and just consideration, but
he proposes to facilitate by all proper means
the consideration and disposition of original
claims. The working force of the Office will
be put upon these claims and the move
ment toward ADJUDICATION will be hastened
The other class OF cases are not to be neglected.
but the commissioner is anxious that more
time be given to original cases and that the
cases now pending be taken up with more
promptness than has been the case in the past
SMOKING PRoHIBITED.
An order was posted up in the pension Office
informing the employees that smoking was pro-
hibited in the rooms and halls of the building.
This is q part of the regulations which Commits
sioner Raum has recently issued in regard to
the care of the building.

THE STATE OF MONTANA.
President Harrison Admits the Forty
first State to tho Union.

President Harrison signed and issued pro-
clamation at 10:40 o'clock this morning admit
ting Montana to the Union as q state. The pro-
clamation after citing the various conditions
proposed by act of Congress in the same form as
was followed in the Dakota proclamations, says:
"And whereas it has been certified to me by
the governor Of said territory that within the
time prescribed by said act of Congress, a con-
stitutiOn for the proposed state OF Montana has
been adopted. and that the same, together
with two ordinances connected Herewith, had
been ratified by majority of the qualified
voters of said proposed state in accordance
with the conditions prescribed by said act
"And whereas a duly authenticated copy of
said constitution ane ordinances; as required
by said act, has been received by me:
snow, therefore, 1, Benjamin Harrison, Pres;-
dent of the United States of America do, in
accordance with the provisions of the act of
Congress aforesaid, declare and proclaim the
fact that the conditions imposed by Congress
on the state of Montana to entitle that state to
admission to the Union have been ratified and
accepted, and that the admission Of the said
state into the Union is now complete.
In testimony whereof l have set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be
affixed" &c.
