POULTRY RAISING
Begun on an Extensive Scale by Cap

&
tain Anderson.
For years past, and especially around
the holidays, there has been a vast
amount of eastern poultry shipped to
this city. This is about to be done
away with, and the many dollars that
Los Angeles has sent away to the east
ern cities in the past will remain at
kets will present much better looking
stock in the future. This will all be due
to the business sagacity of Captain Alex
ander B. Anderson, wealthy and enter
prisng young Englishman who resides
geles, in the beautiful San
recently bought an extensive ranch
about two miles from his home resi-
dence, which he has had prepared in an
elaborate manner for the exclusive pur-
pose of raising chickens. turkeys, ducks.
ranch has already been extensively
market actively begun. There are thir-
the largest one, the Monarch, holds six
HulluIcu tSSs. nc Iulckd 1ncu DatOr,
which is also used, has clock attached,
which turns the eggs every six hours.
In the incubating rooms, the devices for
carrying OF the vitiated air are so per-
feet that 1t Is impossible to detect the
least disagreeable odor.
The brooder or house where the chicks
are kept. is Under the supervision Of
Edwin Wadey, and is 60 feet wide by
100 feet deep. The necessary temper1-
ture here is kept by means of hot water
which is pumped through pipe laid
along under the domiciles of the little
ones, and which can be regulated to
| any temperature. Mr. Handyside, fore
man of the ranch, stated to the HERALD
reporter that they were about to build
two more brooders. He estimated that
80 per cent of the eggs in the in
cubators turned out all right. There
are at present on the ranch
$50 Pekin ducks, from 400 to 800
chickens, and about like number
of turkeys. At present they are hatch
ing upwari Is of 1900 eggs per month, and
when the new improvements are COM
pleted this number will be correspond
! ingly increased. After further inspec-
| ton OF this colossal enterprise, the

Captain Anderson's residence is one
OF the most beautiful of country
homes and is surrounded by fine
orange orchard of forty acres. The
stables in the rear contain thirteen
thoroughbred animals. The captain g
dog kennel is also one of the strikin g
features of the place. This contains
ffty-two dogs. and some OF the best
bred dogs in the world are to be seen
here. The st. Rernards and English
mastiffs are indeed fine looking animals,
and the captain has refused many a
tempting offer for some oithem.

THE reports of the clearing houses this
week show a great improvement over
those of some weeks past. The back of
the panic has undoubtedly been broken.
Panic may be too strong word to use
in this connection, but we are inclined
to think that it is very fitting one, and
that it rose even to international magni-
tude. Its effect on business in the
United States was disastrous in the ex-
treme. The failure of Barring Bros. and
the serious embarrassment of the Bank
OF England caused several hundred mill
lions of dollars worth OF American secu-
rites TO be dumped on urshores. As
these have been picked up at a cheap
rate by Gould, Vanderbilt, and the rest
of that ilk, these gentlemen will now in
all likelihood stand aside and allow val
ues to regain their cid level. This will
also result in some of the coin which
was dispatched to New York from Cali
fornia, to get the high rates of interest
prevailing there, to get back to its right
ful office of developing this state.

sea at Santa Monica?
No one can say that there is not room
for these people, nor can any one say
that $500 an acre per annum as the min
imum figure for the raising OF early veg
etables is not an inducement to the man
with muscle. We pass the $4,000 worth
OF tomatoes raised on single acre as an
extreme figure, although it is veritable
fact. But surely a man can afford to
pay $3.50 to 5000 an acre for land on
which he can yearly more than reim-
burse himself for his outlay by the pro-
ducts OF his purchase?
On with the boom founded on produc-
ton! Subdivide the ranchos. The
multitudes who are about to pour into
Los Angeles need field for their ener-
gies. Give them many fields. We
have them here of far more value than
the field OF Macpelah, for which Abra-
ham paid shekes of silver in the old
days. Develop the matches Cahuenga
valley, with its unlimited ability to sup
ply the east with mid-winter green
peas, string beans, tomatoes, artichokes
and other specialties. Give the east

money.

Remarkable Facts.

Heart disease is usually supposed to be incur
able, but when properly treated a large proper
ton of cases can be cured. Thus Mrs. Elmira
Hatch, Of Elkhart, Ind, and Mrs Mary L.
Baker, of Ovid Mich, were cured after suffer-
ing 20 years. S, c. Linburger. druggist at San
Jose Ill, says that DR.. Miles's Heart Cure which
cured the former, "wors ed wonders for his
wife" Levi Logan, of Buchanan, Mich who
had heart disease for 80 years, saws two bottles
made him "feel like new man." DR.. Miles's

THE old county courthouse was sold
yesterday for $10O,500. This property is
ia and 156 feet in length, the former on
Court street and the latter on Market,
by sixty-fve feet wide. 1t was bought
by Mr. John A. Bullard, Boston capi-
talist, who promptly presented his check
for twenty per cent. of the amount. 1t
was supposed that local combination
had been formed which would secure
the courthouse. 1t is said that Mr.. Bull
lard has given these gentlemen a ninety
days option on his bargain, conditioned
upon an advance of $4,000. The county
originally paid $50, 600 for the property,
has used it for years, and has certainly
made by the operation. 1t is of course a
question as to whether $l00,500 was q
good price for the courthouse, irrespec-
tive of the county's luck with its
purchase. That was certainly not
it shows great vitality in Los
Angeles real estate. A larger, price
could probably have been secured dur
ing the boom; but, as times have been,
it is fair sale. Mr. Bullard has made
bargain. He is Boston millionaire
who came here year ago and bought a
lot of property. He evidently thinks
that this is a good place in which to in
vest money, and his head is as-level as
carpenters plumb. With four fronts
and high building, this ought to be a
very remunerative investment.

Hon. JOHN p. JONES went east yester-
dav to take his place in the senate OF
the United States, body which he has
graced in conspicuous manner. 1t will
be noticed that this enlightened states
man, like his co-adiutor, Senator Stew
art, has no use for force bills. He
despises and deprecates such wretched
expedients to maintain party supremacy.
He does not believe that the intelli-
gence, enterprise and manhood OF the
south should be placed under the heel
of the negro through the aid of bayo-
nets. That measure, begotton of the
insolence of momentary ascendancy Of
the Republican party, is doomed.
Little Benny, emerging from the shadow
of his grandfather's hat, may try, but
he will try in vain, to vitalize it. 1t is
as dead as the mummy of Rameses the
ILL.,, or as one OF the cities OF the plains.
1t has fallen stillborn, and it has fallen,
like Luciier never to rise again. Mr..
Jones is statesman of broad gauge
principles. He has been the verit-
able Corypheus of the movement which
will ultimately restore silver to its
rightful relation with gold in the Cir
culation of the world. He believes that
the United States needs generous
measure of currency to enable it to go
through the proper ordeal OF develop
ment. He believes that this country
should be intellectually and financially
independent of Great Britain, and that
it should receive its tsinspiration from the
great west, instead of from an east which
has been enervated through its depen-
dence on English ideas in government,
finance and social matters. Mr.. Jones will
shortly be elected to the senate OF the
United States for the fourth time from
Nevada. He will go back to the seat
which he has so highly honored practi-
cally without contest. The Democrats
may go through the form OF nominating
some one against him, though this is
doubtful. He is about to receive the
compliment once accorded to Sunset Cox
that of being returned to his exalted
position practically without opposition.

day by Detective Auble, in the act of
attempting to dispose of some harm ess,
for which he was unable to give any ac-
count, and was locked UP in the city

was subsequently identified as the man
who sold part of set of harness stolen
from No. 626 South Main street, few
days ago, and it is believed by the po-
lice authorities that he has for the past
twenty days been carrying on system
attic theft Of portable articles from
various houses in the surrounding
towns. Among other things found in
his possession were coat and vest
stolen from Robert Ingram, some ten

A Curious Efrct of the Coming Passion
Plays at Obera mmergnu.
The BARRIERS and hairdressers at Oberam-
mergau are to their cost finding out the
truth OF the saying that zone man S meat is
another mans poison;" for. while every
body else in the village is rejoicing at the
forthcoming performances, the "artists in
hair" have for some time past been doing
very little business. The TACT that wigs,
together with all other unnecessary 6nery,
are prohibited on the stage where the pas
sion plays are to be given compels nearly
everyone of the actors to allow his hair and
beard to grow for a considerable time before
the performances, in which every male
actor appears with long flowing hair and
beard. Since this decree was sent forth by
the theatrical authorities all the hairdressers
have taken to another trade.
Herr Meyer, the villager who is to take
the part OF Christ in the play, is also under
going an ordeal, the severity OF which can
only be gagged by those who know the fatal
attractions OF Bavarian beer. For the 47
years of his life Mr.. Meyer has been reg
ular attendant at the village inn, drinking
beer and playing at skitiles, but mis- ap-
pearance in public, together with his habit
of drinking beer (even in private), are con-
sidered inffa dig. for the time being, and
the poor man is now paying the penalty for
approaching greatness in the beerless soli-
tude of his cottage.

WE ARE GREAT FISHERMEN.

The Supply of Rods Doesn't Keep Up With
the supply of Anglers.
The manufacturers of fishing rods are in a
state of mind over the fact that the stock Of
Calcutta bamboo poles from which the rods
are made has given out, and it is impossible
to secure another stock of these poles until
next July, which will be too late for this
seasons trade. 1t shows that the anglers are
increasing faster than the rod dealers ever
imagined they would, and the dealers are
totally uuprepared to meet their demands.
The Japanese bamboo is almost as tough
as the Calcutta variety, but the joints are so
close together that it is difficult to cut it up
to any advantage. The action the Japan.
ese is perfect, but the tip is fatally weak and
cannot be used as substitute for the CAL
cutta tip. 1t is not generally known that
Amerios makes the best fishing rods in tho
worlds
