A Blaze ON the Canal.

A few minutes after IL o'clock this morn.
Ing fire broke out in a two-story frame
house on West Boundary street, between
Bay and Bryan streets, and, bursting
through the roof, set fire to the next house.
When the tiremen reached the fire it had
gotten under pretty good Roadway, but the
blazs was soon extinguished. The house in
which the fire started is occupied
by Jackson Burroughs, a restaurateur.
He sub-rents the upper stories, and
the story in viii h the fire broke out was
occupied by Albert Ballard. Ballard was
aroused by the smell of smoke, and, getting
out Of bed, he discovered that the kitchen
was on fire. He ran out and cried fire, and
Policeman Lysaught turned in the alarm
from box No. 8.
The fire Quilted the upper stories of the
houses in which it was when the fremen
found it. Not much furniture was
burned, but it was badly
damaged by water. Assistant Chief Mouro
had charge Of the fires, and the fremen
made quick work. The fog was so dense
that considerable difficulty was expert
enced in locating the fire, but once located
it was quickly gotten under control. The
houses are rented by G. II. Dorsett, and are
presumably covered by insurance. The
occupants Of the houses carried no insur.

approximate $3.50 or $780,

SHREWD CELESTIALS.
They are Working a Corner on the
Potato Market.

The potato market Just now is under
going an unusual degree of excitement.
1t is rumored that the Chinese vegetable
men are engineering corner and are
endeavoring to run the prices up to the
highest notch. Nine-tenths of all the
potatoes grown in this vicinity are
raised by Chinamen-as is the case, for
that matter, with vegetables of all sorts.
New potatoes started off at 81 a sack,
but as the crop came on this price
gradually lowered until about two weeks
ago they were down to 80 cents.
About this time the expectation began
on lively scale. The floods on the
Sacramento river have caused great
scarcity of spuds in the northern part of
the state, and San Francisco has found
it necessary to rely upon Los Angeles
for her supply. They were shipped also
to Salt Lake, Albuquerque, Ell Paso and
to Denver in considerable quantities. A
few cars early in the season went as far
east as Kansas City, and one car was
sent to San Diego.
The local crop is large one but, as
has been said, is controlled almost en-
tirely by the Chinese. These astute
foreigners presently got 1t into their
heads that by combination they could
obtain better prices for their product.
They have an organization which is in
the nature of a produce exchange, and
meets daily. AS the demand continued
strong the price was stifened until now
in the midst of the season of largest
production, at a time when the crops
are good, potatoes are bringing $1.25
and 81 .35 per sack in carload lots. The
Chinaman has comprehended the situa-
ton and has formed pool "alle same
Mellican man."
1t is estimated that 200 carloads, or
10000 sacks Of potatoes, have been sent
out of Los Angeles county. At an aver
age of $1.20 sack this is $4S, 900, which
is a very good return for crop from
which not much is usually expected.
During the winter a large number of
carloads OF potatoes were brought in
from the east, but the balance is con-
siderably in favor of this locality. The
only drawback is that the money, for
the most part, goes to Cinnamon instead
OF to American farmers.

THE RAILROADS.
Burglary at the Palms-Various Notes
and Personals.

Yesterday between noon and one
O'Clock, while the Southern Pacific agent
at the Palms was away at dinner, some
thief broke open the door of the station,
and emptied the cash drawer. His
booty was about SIG. The theft was
promptly reported at headquarters, and
detective started out to look into the
matter.
General manager X. H. Wade of the
Southern California, returned from the
east last evening.
The railroads are doing good freight
business, especially in the line of veget-
ables. About 200 carloads of potatoes
have been shipped out of the county.
The cold weather is keeping back
travel to the seaside.
The San Bernardino papers are conf
dent that one OF the first moves made by
the Southern Pacific in Southern Cali
fornia will be the completion of line
from Cotton to their city. They claim
that the plan is to buy the Harlem
motor road, to which a connection will
be built to Highland, Redlands, and
back to the main line at Brookside. 1t
is stated that overtures have been made
to the stockholders of the Harlem mo-
tor line, and a meeting was held last
Friday morning at which the matter was
discussed
