New River Mesa Oranges.

Mr.. Charles j. Shepherd, who has for
years handled and packed oranges in
Southern California, has just finished
picking the orchards of Mr.. Nimmock
and of Mr.. Mason, near Fulton Wells.
He pronounces the citrus fruit raised in
that locality as being very fine. 1t is
clean, finely colored and of excellent
favor. He says that there is no reason
why the oranges of the mesa beyond
New river should not take place alor g.
side the best raised at Riverside The
trees, when fairly cared for, turn out
very superior fruit, and he predicts that
the time will soon come when an impulse
will be given to the citrus industry in
that locality that will result in miles upon
miles of as rich orange groves as can be
found in Southern California.

TACOMA, March 1.-THE British ship
Craigend, Captain Hamilton, arrived
from Wales about three weeks ago, and
the vessels colored crew complained to
the authorities of maltreatment during
the voyage. They brought suit for six
months wages, and Justice of the Peace
w. @. Patrick decided in the favor,
libslled the vessel and put Constable
Sweeney and officers aboard in charge of
her. When the stevedores sought to re-
move the ballast from the vessel prepara-
tory to loading her with wheat, the
deputy constables repulsed them, and
Manager Hamilton, Of the stevedore
company, was thrown into the water by
Constable Sweeney, who overturned the
gang plank. The officers subsequently
went ashore, taking the vessels compass,
quadrant and chronometer as security
for the sailors wages. The opinion is
expressed that the Justice of the Peace
exceeded his powers in libelling British
ship, and that the taking of the vessels
property ashore may lead to inter-
national complications.

BUFFALO, March lin the inquest
regarding Thursday's acci dent, Conduc-
tor Haughtaling told about the air coup
lings having broke at Dunkirk, and that
he went ahead without an air brake un-
der the last elk coaches, because
it would delay the train too much
to wait for new coupling to
be found. He admitted that if
the air brakes had been properly
connected all through, the automatic
brake would have stopped the rear Sec
ton when the train parted, or, at any
rate, when the conductor of the sleeper
pulled the inside cord that would have
stopped it. The conductor appeared very
down-hearted. Engineer Moore said if
the air had been properly connected the
two sections would not have been fifty
feet apart when both would have been
stopped.

He had been an invalid two or three
years on account of too close application
to business. A few weeks ago he started
for Southern health resort, but became
alarmingly ill and was brought home.
Some of his friends assert that his fatal
prostration was due to the manner of his
daughters marriage some weeks ago to
son of P. d. Armour. The Testers bad

Y oupg Armour disappeared, and taking

A Wsak AssauIt.

The morning and the evening papers
that are advocating the sewer bonds
with an differentiation that makes
reasonable people wonder at their powers
of sewer absorption, have tried to
answer the powerful presentations against
the ring scheme made by John P. Cul-
yer, civil engineer, by quoting former
publication of his on the same subject.
Their object is to show that
Culver favored an outfall sewer
to the sea by his former letter,
and that he opposes it by his present
letter to the public. The fact is that our
sewer friends have found a mares nest.
In both instances Mr.. Culver has favored
an outfall sewer to the sea. But in both
instances he has raised his voice against
unnecessary extravaganza in securing
those works. As an experienced en-
gineer he gives us the benefit of his
special knowledge to show that if we
vote for the ring scheme we shall vote,
first, for a system that is far beyond
the needs of Los Angeles for twenty
years to come, and far more costly than
the work should reach sven carried out
in the extravsgant proportions it is out
lined to attain by the ordinances. Then,
by facts and figures and by careful
engineering estimates, he shows that the
system which ought to serve for Los An
geles until she has 200, 900 inhabitants,
including the outfall sewer, ought to be
built for 100000 Here is summary
of his estimate:
For the interior of the city proper $500, 900
Ocean outlet ......... .......... 1000
For one storm d ain from Hope street
street, about 1O, 500 feet long ....... 100 900
Precipitation tanks and works ~ $4,000
