1t may also be necessary to so regulate

KANSAS CITY. Mo, July 27,-United
States Deputy Marshall Hicks Thomas,
who had been sent into the Comanche
Nation, Indian Territory, with a warrant
for the arrest for murder Of JET Logue,
one Of the territory outlaws, met his man
near Anadarko yesterday and ordered him
to surrender. For reply the outlaw fired
on Thomas, but missed him, The onicer
returned the shot with fatal effect Logue
fell and was apparently dead, but when
Thomas went up to him TO examine the
body. Logue raised his pistol and, eH-
claiming, I'm learn you TO be a little more
careful how you approach a gentleman TO

him through the left arm. The next
moment the outlaw was dead.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

President J. B. Atherton an
nounced the following officers OF
the Society for the ensuing term
President, Alex. Young; Vice-Presi-
dent, j. B. Anterior; Treasurer, F.
NJ. Swanzy; Secretary, W. o Smith
Auditor, w. NJ. Gifard.
The subject Of the Indebtedness of
the Company, amounting to $4,000,
resulted in the assessment of two
cents per ton to be levied on the sugar
for 1889 80; and, if not sufficient, the
assessment to be increased to three
cents.
Mr.. Hugh Morrison read report
on fertilizers, and Mr.. J. n. S. Will
liams one on the manufacture of
sugar and machinery. They were
ordered to be printed in the Planters
Monthly.
At 9:15 O'Clock, this Tuesday
morning, Hon. G. n. Wilcox, chair
man of the Labor Committee, will
present his report.

Culture. Letters had been sent to
Cuba and Manila, but the commdttee
had not succeeded in obtaining any
information. The intention to lay
before the meeting specimens of fine
tobacco was also unhappily frustrat-
ed by an accident to the plants.
There does not seem to be much
prospect of finding a market for our
tobacco in the United States, in view
of the high duties imposed, unless
our tobacco should prove to be of as
good quality as that of Havana or
Manila.
MIR. w. o. Smith said there were
many parts of the Islands where
tobacco grew luxuriantly and well.
There seemed to be no reason why
it should not become an important
export. 1t was very undesirable
to go on depending entirely on
sugar.
MIR. Swanzy thought on a small
scale the industry would not prove
remunerative, as some little machin-
cry was necessary. 1t would be
better to contine ourselves, at the be-
ginning at all events, to raising and
curing the tobacco, without trying to
make cigars, etc.
Mr.. W. o. Smith did not think
there would be any success until
some one with proper means went
to tobacco countries and made
study of it and secured the services
of an experienced cultivator.
The Secretary read a communica-
ton from Mr.. D. NJ. Crowley on the
subject of Chinese immigration.
The Company adjourned until $50

Minutes of preceding dayread and
adopted.
The report of the committee ap-
pointed to consider the question of
importing Chinese laborers was read.
Mr. Marsden moved the report be
adopted and committee appointed
to draft bill in accordance with its
recommendations and present the
same to the Legislative Committee.
Mr.. Walker inquired whether
Chinese merchants were willing to
assume any responsibility for the
Chinese laborers.
Mr.. WR.Castle stated they would if
the planters dealt directly with them,
just as now with the Chinese bosses.
The Chinese think it would be well
to deal with the United Chinese So
ciety, which is recognized by the
Chinese Government, otherwise some
disappointed contractor would write
to a society in Hongkong which is
all powerful there, and would prevent
us from getting any laborers at all.
1t was the opinion of the Chinese
merchants that the photographing
provision would prevent any laborers
coming at all.
Mr.. Marsden's motion was carried.
A vote of thanks was passed to
Mr.. Neumann for his valuable SER
vices in the matter of the Japanese
immigrants.
Mr. Schaefer inquired whether the
committee to draft bill were to re-
port to the Labor and Supply Com
pany. He would move that when the
bill was drafted it be reported back
to the company in printed form. Car
ried.
Mr. w. r. Castle thought he could
have the bill ready tomorrow morn
ing.
Some discussion then took place
on the subject of East Indian labor.
MIR. Schaefer moved the trustees
be instructed to inquire into the
subject of East Indian labor.
The Secretary read a communica-
ton from Mr.. Marques denying that
he had Inexperienced any con-
tracts,or nearly brought the company
into trouble.
Mr.. ". 0. Smith said Mr.. Marques
reports were SO exceedingly sanguine
and he was so sure that he could OBJ
tain large number of laborers on
the contract prepared by the COM
pany that the company nearly au-
thorized him, but found at the last |
that he had thought the |
contract was for food in addition to
the wages named.
MIR. Hackfeld made confrmatory
statement.
Mr.. w. 0. Smith read an extract
rom the correspondence. and stated
hat the correspondence could all be
ooked at. He had not intended to
10 Mr.. Marques any injustice.
Mr. Schaefer moved the Secretary
,e instructed to draft reply to Mr.
Marques letter. Carried.
The meeting adjourned at 1920 to
80 Thursday morning.

THE demand of the Iroquois, Alliance
and other Democratic clubs of Los
Angeles, that the primaries should be
held under the state law, will doubtless
be conceded by the Democratic County
Central Committee. If the Democracy
of this county hope to win in the coming
county election they must invite the
cooperation of all respectable citizens.
The slightest sign of rowdy ruel will
repel the class of voters that it is de-
sirous that we should conciliate if we
desire to have the tleast earthly show
OF winning. All the circumstances are
propitious for victory in both the guber-
material and the local fights, and the
only thing needed to assure absolute
success is the presentation, through
reputable methods, of a good ticket.
The Republican local leaders are in bad
odor with the people. The peculation
and maladministration of the Republi-
can party Of, Los Angeles, in both city
and county, smell rank to heaven. The
only thing that could save that disgraced
Los Angeles herald., 1890-08-27

of whole range of other delicious fruits
which the worldcannot well do with
out.
What then-the question naturally re-
curs-are such lands, with an assured
water right-worth? Whatever they are
worth, we may be well assured that
lands capable of producing these multi
form and exquisite fruits are not now
selling for one-third of their real value.
In many cases they may be had for one
ten,thof what they will bring two years
from now. There are lands in the neigh
borhood OF Redlands that were selling
for IS an acre in the height of the Los
Angeles boom that can not be bought
for less than $500 an acre now.
These facts are quite naturally hav-
ing their effect. The enormous produc-
ton of this year, the really extraordin-
ary profits made by the fruit growers,
taken in connection with the climatic,
geographical and railway advantages Of
this section, are resulting in numerous
real estate transactions in the country,
which are based on the productive and
not speculative value of fruit lands.
The country is genuinely prosperous.
1t is enjoying a veritable boom based
on production that will be perennial.
The tide of prosperity is creeping slowly
and surely towards the city. Let no
man doubt but that at an early day this
brave town of the Queen of the Angels
will be in the swim. AS well doubt the
advance and retrocession of the tides or
the diurnal progress of the earth around
the sun. The bedrock has long been
passed in Los Angeles, and we are on
the upgrade toward pleasant uplands.

organization from overwhelming local de-
feat would be the feeling that in going
to the Democracy the voter enamored of
reform would be jumping from the fry
ing pan into the fire. We must not
offer him the alternative OF Scylla and
Charybdis. The best citizens of the
party must be allowed to control the
coming county convention, and it's best
men must be placed upon the county
ticket. This assured, and victory is
certain. The Democracy can get pos
session of the county government from
turret to foundation stone if it's real
leaders are allowed to run the County
Convention.
