Election of Iroquois Club Offcers-Other
Events of Considerable Local
Interest.

A very pleasant gathering took place
at the rooms of the board of trade last
evening, the occasion being the present
alton of cane to the retiring preside mt,
S. B. Lewis. The affair was planned as
a surprise, and Mr.. Lewis was induced
to be present by being told that the new
board wished to discuss the improve
ment of San Pedro harbor and other
public works, and desired his counsel.
A number of the old and new direct
tors of the board and of the members
were present. President Geo. E. Dixon
occupied the. chair.
III. w. Latham, the attorney of the
board, was called upon to state the OBJ
ject of the meeting, which he did by
saying that charges had been preferred
against prominent member of the
board. L. N. Breed then read full
statement Of these charges, which were
to the effect that Mr.. Lewis had shown
himself an efficient an energetic officer.
He wound up by presenting the gold
headed cane, which he said the men,
bers hoped Mr.. Lewis would find more
ornamental than useful for many years
to come.
Mr.. Lewis was very much astOnished,
but managed to reply in an appropriate
and happy manner.

CAHUENGA PRODUCERS.
They Demand Public Market Place in
the CITY.

the City.
On Monday evening a meeting of the
Cahuenga township producers union
was held in The Pass school house. w.
H. Carlin and F. j. Moll were appointed
members of committee to properly ad-
vertise the resources of the valley. The
following resolutions were introduced by
MIR. Carlin and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The producers of Los Angeles
county, and especially those of Cahuenga town
ship, have been Systematically robbed for
series OF years by sharpers in the city of Los
Angeles calling themselves commission mer-
chants and vegetable and fruit dealers, whose
practice is to defraud the producer and con-
sumer alike by agreements among themselves
to pay for farm products less than remunerative
prices and selling, often at profit of more
than four hundred, and never less than 100 per
cent; and
WHEREAS, The producers have been in this
manner sW1ndled to an extent that they are no
longer able to endure it, and have been COM
pelled, In many instances, to suspend produc-
tlon, and thus necessitate importations from
other states and countries at greatly enhanced
cost, and greatly to the prejudice of everybody
except these same middle men, whose profits
are very much larger on imported than on
home-raised products.
Now, therefore, this association, on its own
behalf as well as on behalf of the consumers of
ranch products, demands of the city authorities
of Los Angeles the establishment of a market
place, under proper regulations, where the pro-
Queer and consumer can deal directly with each
other
A resolution demanding the opening
OF public road from Cahuenga to Santa
Monica was adopted, and the meeting
adjourned.

What 1t Would Cost to Finish the Big
Ditch.
PARIS, May 6.-The report of the spe-
cial commission sent out by Brunett,
liquidator of the Panama Canal Com.
pany, to investigate the condition of the
canal, estimates that it would cost 1885,
100000 francs to complete the canal on
the lock system. To this should be
added 20 per cent for unforeseen ex-
penses and 20 per cent for the expenses
OF the management and interest The
total cost is fixed at 900, 100000 francs.
The report further says it would take
between seven and eight years to COM
plete the canal. The annual cost of the
management is estimated at 10000, 900
francs. According to the estimates of
the commissioners the net receipts for
the first three years after opening will
be 3S,000,0 900 francs annually, gradually
increasing year by year until twelve
years after opening, when they would
amount to 81, 100000. The material OF
the old company and work already per-
formed are valued at 450, 100000 francs.

The Ex-G. A. r.. in Chief
Has a Personal Encounter.
KANSAS CITY, May GA lively per-
sonal encounter between Major William
Warner, eX-commander-in-ch of the
G. A. R., and w. E. Greyston, of
Springfield, Mo-, occurred in Justice
Warthen's court this afternoon. The
two gentlemen are opposing counsel in
the Wrightman murder case. The dis
pute arose over the disposition of
the bones of the alleged murdered man,
and other articles in evidence, in the
course of which Greyston called Warner
a liar. The major advanced toward
Greyston, when the latter thrust his
hand into his hip pocket, and was about
to draw revolver, when the major
pounced upon him and forced him to the
floor in a corner. With his hand on
Greyston's throat the major was heard
to say: If you attempt to draw that re-
volver Pll break your neck" The COM
batants were finally separated

FIRST STREET.
Another Proposition for a Traffic
Grade.

A communication was sent to the
council on Monday by j. F. Humphreys
in relation to the First-street grade. He
thinks grade of one in eighteen should
be established, but no grade of more
than one in sixteen should be adopted; !;
and grade of one in twenty-five would
be better than none at all, as at present.
The advantages of the grade of one in
eighteen would be many, he thinks, for
then there would not be so large tun-
mel for the people to come through, and
the grade would still be suitable for
traffic. Ii a grade of one in ten should
be established, he thinks the street
