COMMISSIONER KERCHEvAL says thai
there need be no apprehension felt thai
the Uedolia will die out. 1t has passed
the winter in admirable form, and is
spreading wherever it can find it's natural
food, the white scale. 1t is case of the
survival of the fttest. When the last
scale is devoured by the last uedolia then
we may look for the latter's extinction,
unless, in the meantime, he should culti-
vate taste for some of the other tree
pests, and turn in and rid US of them.
The red scale is kept down in our local
orchards by frequent spraying of the
trees. Indeed that process industriously
applied is bringing out some of our old
orchards in fne style. Mr.. George
Dalton's place now presents what is con-
sidered the cleanest and finest orchard
in or near this city, his fruit being large
and finely colored, and bringing much
higher price than that of his less enter
prising neighbors. Frequent spraying
with the solution recommended by the
Board of Horticulture has brought this
about. It is the same with Major
Knowlton's trees, and Mrs, Dorsey had
crop of fine clean, large fruit, the result
OF constant spraying, which sold for an
extra price. 1t pays to spray, not only
in the immediate returns from the fruit,
but in the gradual effect Of wearing out
the red scale and ultimately getting rid
of 1t altogether.

Is Waterman First, the Rest No.
where >,

The San Bernardino Courier quotes ap.
provingly the article in the HERALD in
regard to Governor Waterman's candi-
dacy and adds: "And vet but a few
weeks ago, when the Courier declared
that Waterman was by all odds the lead
ing and favorite Republican candidate in
the field, the HERALD was insisting that
his candidacy Yves a farce, and his nomi-
nation impossible. TGreat changes in
Republican sentiment have taken place
since that time-ED. HERALD. The
truth is that Waterman has, from the
moment he announced himself as can
didate for the nomination, been growing
steadily in the favor of his party. AS the
Republican field stands at present,
Waterman is first and the rest nowhere.
He is strong with his party in the north,
strong in the middle counties, and
stronger still in the south. So far, he
has practically had the field to himself.
Out of sectional necessity, as we'll as out
OF choice, he will have an overwhelming
support from the five southern counties,
for Waterman ia the only southern man
who can get the Republican nomination.
The appearance of any other southern
man before the convention would simply
be morally reasonable strategic dem
onstration in behalf of the north, and the
people know it."

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Public Building Measures Under
nstderatiOn.

WASHINGTON, March SIN the House
today the morning hour was consumed
in the discussion of the bill for the com.
pulsory attendance of witnesses before
Registers of Land Offices. The House
then, in committee of the whole, re-
sumed consideration of public building
measures.
The first bill called up was that in.
creasing from $3.50, 200 to $3.50, 900, the
limit of the cost OF the public building al
Newark, N. j., and making an appro-
priation of $500, 900 increase.
Blount raised the point of order that it
was not within the power of the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
to recommend an appropriation.
After long discussion, the appropri.
alton clause was stricken out, and the
bill, as amended, was laid aside with a
favorable recommendation.
After several other bills were consid.
cred, the committee arose and reported
the bills to the House, which immedi-
ately found itself in a email deadlock
There was no quorum to pass bills, and
the friends of the measure wouN Aol
consent to an adjournment.
Finally the previous question was or.
dered on all the bills, and it was agreed
that they should be considered Tuesday
morning.
Adjourned.

THE SAILORS RETURN.
Kemp and Busch Found safely
Guarded at Catalina.


The Sheriff's bluff to get the missing
sailors given up told like charm.
When the seven men found themselves
behind the bars charged with the MUIR
der of the kidnapped men, they weak
ened, and yesterday some of the gang at
San Pedro whispered it around where
the men were, and Captain Anderson,
deputy sheriff at that place, lost no time
in getting over to Catalina island, where
he soon found Busch and Kemp safely
guarded by man named Fred Ente-
woldsen. The men tell their own story:
They were taken from the Nettie Lund-
borg, on the night of Wednesday, Feb
ruary 26, in boat to Rattlesnake island.
There they were kept for some time,
and then the men who had them
on Catalina took them to Portuguese
bend, or Carolina harbor, as Colonel ].
K. Tuffree calls it now. Here they were
kept all Thursday, and then they were
taken to Catalina island. They state that
the first thing the boarding party of kid
napers did was to put out the light in
the cabin. After they had taken them
from their hunks and placed them in a
little sailboat lying alongside of the Net
tie, the kidnapers held a consultation in
one end of the boat. At this time Kemp
and Busch had not been given an oppor-
tunity to get their clothes, and they had
concluded that it was going hard with
them. They determined, however, to
sell their lives dearly. and as each man
had knife, he prepared himself to use it
in case OF an emergency. But the emer.
gency never came. The sailors were
treated without any cruelty by the kid
napers, as they offered no resistance,
but did as they were told.
Entewoldsen has been added to the
number of the men locked up for The
kidnapping.
F. G. Kiel, the ringleader of the gang,
appeared before Justice. Lockwood at
8: 80 O'Clock yesterday morning for pre-
liminary examination upon the charge of
having assaulted j. E. Johnson with a
deadly weapon, at San Pedro, on the
26th ult., but material witness for the
prosecution being sick in the hospital at
San Pedro, and therefore unable to be
present, the case was continued until
Thursday morning next.

Home manufactures.

Here is straw which indicates the
most favorable wind that has blown this
way for long time. Mr.. W. E. Hughes,
Chairman of the Committee on Manu-
factures of the Chamber of Commerce,
has taken a great deal of interest in his
branch of the work of the organizati IN.
| The work of the Cham Der is not without
results by any means. We learn through
the committee referred to that tannery
on large scale is about to be put in
operation in this city. The most i'm
portsnt feature Of this enterprise is that
it will be set on foot entirely by home
capital. The people who are engaged in
this business are men of the highest
business standing and of very ample
means. For some time the matter has
been under investigation, the re-
suit of which has been that
arrangements are about complete
to take steps for beginning the industry.
1t is found that a most inviting opening
is found here for the manufacture of GER
tain grades of leather, and the services

already made reputation for the max
ing of these very grades of leather,
This industry will have these very sat
isfactory affects. II will use up large
amount of the raw products of this Sec
ton. 1t will give employment to a large
number of resident laborers, and it will
keep the profits of the business at home
to 60 into other enterprises, instead of
these profits going abroad as is the case
when development is effected by the use
of foreign capital.
1t is a most encouraging sign of the
times to see local capital being
Invested in local industries. If
other capitalists would look as
carefully into the situation as
these have, other branches of industry
would be discovered where quite as good
openings as this exist. True, there is
much temptation to loan money at high
rate of interest, but there are local enter
prises the profits of which might be made
greater than the usufruct of money even
at the high rates ruling here now.

A Union Pacific Rumor,

A rumor was in circulation yesterday
to the effect that the Union Pacific had
made purchase of fifty acres inside the
city limits, to be used as depot site.
The origin of the rumor was traced to a
Main-street real estate firm, who pro-
fessed to have information in which they
placed the utmost confidence, but the
source of which they refused to divulge.
Their statement was that an agent for
the company had signed papers for the
purchase of the Keller property, a tract
which lies between Alameda and Spence
streets, and between Sixth and Seventh
streets. It was said that the Union Pa
cifc intended to build long bridge over
the river and the Santa Fe track to enter
their property near Sixth street.
I. w. Hellman, who is executor of the
Keller estate, was seen by reporter
last night, and affirmed that there was
no truth in the rumor, and that he knew
of no negotiations looking to the pur-
chase of the land by the Union Pacific
Company.

BUENA VISTA STREET.
People i'm a Hole want to Get
ont.

EDITORS HERALD-Apropos of the es.
tablishmsnt of the grade of Buens Vista
street from Temple street to Bellevue
avenue, which has been pending before
the Council for several months, and
which was recently vetoed by his Honor
the Mayor, it seems that the Mayor hae
been actuated by considerations wholly
for the high part of the historic ground,
and has forgotten the history of the lower
lands.
Mrs. Slotterbee and myself have paid
taxes for many years on property located
east of the street, and have laid our plans
with the hope of some day having rea.
sonable grade established. We are sub
ject to overflow from the water that comes
from the higher side of the street.
The fence or wooden wall built in front
of Judge Hall's place is liable to be
washed down, and all the mass of loose
earth behind it will be precipitated on
our property. Our houses are in danger
OF being thrown down, and our lives are
not secure.
We work and try to protect ourselves,
but to no purpose.
w I'LL SoOu graue Oh Clo 6tre6t We
would be protected and our property
would have value. We know that when
the grading is done the damage to
property on the high side of the street
must be paid, end we are willing to bear
our proportion. Those who wish to
maintain the present state of affairs and
keep our property of little value and in
an unsafe condition, do not offer to com
pensate US for the damage. We are
down in hole and they would try to
keep US there. The street has two sides
they consider one.
| If the Council sustains the veto of the
Mayor, and refuses to give US a good
grade, will the city be responsible to us
If our houses are washed away. The
lands on the west side of the street
when sold, were bought for trifing sums
because Of the fact that Buena Vista
street would, at some time, have to be
cut down.
| earnestly hope that the City Council
will not be influenced by considerations
ior the wealthy alone, or by the interest
of one end of the street. Take view ol
the whole street, gentlemen, and remem
Der those of us who are compelled to live
IN the low lands.

AT THE CAPITAL.
The Montana Senatorial
Contest.
REPUBLICANS TO BE SEATED
Committee Reports on the Question.
A Prolonged Debate in
Prospect.

Associated Press DISPATCHES TO the HERALD
WASHINGTON, March S.-The Senate
committee on privileges and elections,
after long session today, finally reached
a decision in the case of the contested
Montana Senatorships, and by a party
vote, decided to recommend to the Sem
ate that Power and Saunders, the Repub-
lican Senators, be seated.
The ground upon which the majority
of the committee takes its stand as q
basis for its recommendation is that the
Republican House of Montana was the
legal House, as its members held certif-
Gates of election from the election officers,
and was recognized as the legal House
by the State Senate.
The report of the committee will not
be made for several days, as it will be a
long document, discussing both the law
and the facts in the case. Gray, it is
expected, will prepare minority report.
The presentation of the reports will be
| the signal for an extended debate, and it
may be several weeks before the Senate
will reach vote on the subject. Turpie
is of the opinion that no election has
been accomplished, and the case should
be remitted to the State of Montana for
action. He may make an Independent
report to that effect.
| THE CHANDLER-CALL DIFFICULTY.
| The Senate committee on privileges
and elections today considered the reso
luton offered by Chandler regarding the
Interpolation by Call of certain remarks
in his speech on the murder of Deputy
Marshal Saunders, in Florida. The
committee decided to recommend that the
Record shall contain report of Call'f
speech according to the notes of the
official reporters. On the question oi
the limit of the debate within parlia
mentsry bounds, the committee will rec
ommend that it be referred to the com
mittee on rules for definition. The com.
mittee will also ask that the committee or
rules be requested to report an amend
ment to the rules by which the columns
of the Record be protected from any
Interpolation.

ALTHOUGH the efforts OF the Young
Mems Christian Association to raise
money to meet the debt upon their build
ing have not as yet been as successful as
they ought to have been, yet the SUBJ
scriptions have brought the total down
to nearly thirty thousand dollars. Be-
tween this and the 18th there ought to be
a grand, united effort made by all our
people to save this fine property to the
Association. If enough money should
be subscribed to bring the debt down to
say, $4,000, the property could be saved.
We have many wealthy Christian people
in our midst who canno OF afford to let this
movement fail. 1t would not only be
discreditable to them as Christians to
stand by and let the property be lost,
but it would be a reflection upon our
whole city to permit the Sheriff to place
it under the hammer. Now is the time
for everybody to lend helping hand.
