THE EXPERIMENT STATION.
1t Is Proposed to Use the Citrus Fail
Fund for It.

The plan for an agricultural expert
ment station at Pomona seems likely to
meet with success. A scheme has been
suggested for obtaining the necessary
amount for the erection of the building.
AS was narrated in the HERALD of yes
terday, the people of Pomona have
raised nearly 81, 900 in cash, in addition
to providing 200 worth of land and
water. The total amount needed is
$4,000. 1t is now proposed to use the
money left over from the citrus fair.
The sum was little over $4,000. 1t has
been lying in the bank since the fair
took place last March, and the commit
tee which had it in charge has thus far
come to no conclusion with regard to
what use to make of it.
The committee consists of the follow
ing: Captain f. Edward Grey, Frank A.
Kimball, c.. M. Wells, Eugene Ger
main, J. f. McComas, Fl. X. Snow,
Frank A. Miller and Richard Gird. A
meeting has been called, to take
place next Wednesday, at which time
the matter will probably be decided.
Such OF the members of the committee
as could be seen yesterday, announced
themselves, without exception, in favor
of appopriating the money for that pur-
pose. 1t was the original plan of the
committee to use the money, in what
ever way presented itself, for the
furtherance of the interests of the citrus
fruit industry of this country. Inasmuch
as the citrus fruits are the chief product
OF this section of the state, it is reason
able to suppose that the experiment
station, when established, will devote a
good deal of attention to them. If the
money is used for the founding of this
station, it will be, therefore, quite in
the line Of the purpose of the committee.
The sum, together with what has been
raised in Pomona, is sufficient to con-
struct the necessary buildings.

who, in his address, stated that during
the biennial period just closed, the
country had enjoyed great degree OF
prosperity, and the financial affairs of
the kingdom were on a sound basis. He
recommended that the credit of the
kingdom be pledged for the placing of
the Hawaiian harbors in condition to
furnish accommodation for the great in
crease of commerce which would follow
the probable completion of the inter-
oceanic canal, and the promised ex-
tension of lines ofsteam communication /;
also towards arrangements for Pacific
cable line.
The opening of the legislature was at
tended by no disturbance. The National
Reform party secured control of the
organization of the house.
Reports of the Ministry.
The reports of the Hawaiian ministry
were presented shortly after the open
ing of the Legislature. The report of the
minister of foreign affairs states that in
consequence of the Wilcox rebellion of
July 80, 1889, the kings guard was re-
duced from sixty-two to thirty-two men,
while the second battalion Of Hawaiian
volunteers was disbanded. The most
important treaty negotiated had been
the parcels-post convention with the
United States, which was ratified Jan
uary Goth. The report states that since
March /, 1888, when the Chinese re-
striction act took effect, S14 permits to
enter the country had been issued to
Chinese; over five hundred of these are
yet outstanding. The excess of depart
ures over arrivals in 1SS8-S9, was over
nine hundred.

Childs's Motion Denied.

WASHINGTON, June THE secretary
of the interior has rendered a decision
in the case of Samuel r. Childs, of the
Los Angeles, Cal, land district VS..
the Southern Pacific railroad, in which
he denies Childs's motion for a review

a private land claim of quantity within
larger out-boundaries, only SO much
of said larger tract is reserved for the
adjustment of said claim, as may be re-
quired for the satisfaction thereof, and
lands within larger out-boundaries of an
INDICATED claim of this class are subject
to the operation of railroad grant at
the date when it becomes effective, ex-
cept as to the quantity annually re-
quired to satisfy said claim.

The New Water COMPANY.

1t has transpired that a portion of
Mrs. Turner's ranch in the eastern part
of the Canada, comprising 169 acres,
has been sold, says the Pasadena Star,
and that the purchasers are the Shorb
water manipulators who have been op-
Grating in the Arroyo and vicinity for
some time. The agreement to buy was
made ten days ago, and contract has
since been executed.
While this purchase was not made in
the name of Mr.. Shorb or his syndicate,
there is no doubt that it was affected in
that interest, and that it is to be held
for water storage or carrying purposes.

Ex-cHAIRMAN BASIL GORDON.
His Health Improving and His Complete
Recovery Assured.

Honorable Beverley B. Munfordre returned
10 the city Yesterday from his trip to the
Adirondacks, where, with party OF VIZ
ginia people. he has been spending part
of his summer vacation.
Mr.. Munford brings the good news that
Honorable Basil b. Gordon. who is now
guest at Paul Smiths, on Lake NJ. hegls.
has greatly improved in health since last
spring. when. under the advice OF his phy-
sician, he went to the Adirondacks.
Mr. Gord9h was the chairman OF the
Democratic State Committee III the iast
rubernatorial canvass, and directed the
forces of the party in that great campaign
which resulted in the complete overthrow
of Malone. The labors of that campaign
in hrs then weak physclcal condition
proved too much for him; and so. after
several ATTEMPTS to discharge his duties a.
a State senator (to which position he had
also been elected), he finally yielded TO the
advice of his physician and friends and
sought rest and strength in the bracing at
mosphere of the Adirondack mountains.
II will probably be some time yet before
Mr.. Gordon can return home and resume
his duties as a senator. but MS present con-
dition is such as to afford MS TRENDS the
assurance that his complete recovery can
only be matter of time.
The Dispatch knows of no announcement
which will be more gratefully received oy
the people of Virginia than that OF Mr.
Gordon's improved health and the prospect
of his complete recovery. The old Com
monweaIth has few more devoted sons, ana
there are few for whom her people enter
