MONEY IN FIGS.
A Man Who Has Raised Them Says
So

EDITORS HERALD: l read an article,
the other day, in your most valuable
daily paper, taken from some other pa
per, that beg leave to correct. In the
first place, 1 shipped my figs from Ri
vera instead of Downey, as first stated,
and have but about 3 acres instead OF IA
have never made any statement of what
year, and am only too sorry I have no
more land to set in figs.
Having been requested by many OF
the readers of your paper to give an es-
innate of about what 10 acres set to figs
would produce when in full bearing,
for their benefit and others also, 1 make
this statement, after II years of cult
waiting and handling the fig one way and
another:
1t is easily grown on most any soil we
have in Southern California; it is very
prolific and comes into bearing fruit
quicker than any other fruit; it will
yield when to years from setting
from so to 100 pounds to the tree, while
trees from to 10 and II years old will
give from 400 to 800 pounds to the tree !;
this, any one knows, who is familiar
w lpi oliO LIZ L ithVliiS ViCCS ~ lOCO CdCli
way you have 10S to the acre. The
White Smyrna will mature and ripen
much more fruit at that distance than
will the White Pacifics or Adriatics.
For well developed trees when s, 10 and
II years old the amount of fruit stated
is not exorbitant, for have gathered it
frequently myself. By figuring little
from this statement you see that from
one acre you have q tons of fruit and
some left for the birds. Allowing the
present prices, that is $50 per ton, you
have the handsome little sum of one
thousand and fifty dollars per acre.
Were l going to set an orchard out
should not advise with nursery men
what variety to plant. would go to
the factory where they handle all the
best varieties, and consult them and learn
of them the best fig for commerce. If
they talk to you as they do to me they
will tell you tine white Smyrna is the
fig for profit. JAMES STEWART.

ACTIVE DEMOCRATS.

The regular meeting of the Iroquois
club was held last evening, with j..
Khurts in the chair. An invitation was
received from the Democratic. club of
Santa Monica to attend their ratification

All members of the club should be at the
Arcade depot in time to take the 6 80

ocracy will be we'll represented by the
Iroquois, Tammany, Alliance and Jack
son clubs.
A meeting OF the Dem ocrats Of the
Fourth ward was held last night at the
corner of Olive and Twelfth streets, for
the purpose of organizing ward club.
j. Shirley Ward was elected president,
R. G. Carlton vice president, General +.
r. Mathews treasurer, and Hugh V.

SANTA FE EMPLOYEES.
THEY ASK FOR AN ADVANCEMENT
OF PAY.
They Hold Conferences With General
Manager Wade-Their Wishes Will
Probably be Granted-The Terminal
Company at Work.

General Manager X. H. Wade of the
Southern California railroad was yester-
day engaged by means of conference
in trying to settle the demands of the
train and yardmen of his road. Their
complaints are about the same as those
recently brought by the employees of
the Southern Pacific company, and
which were granted. The men say that
their pay and runs have not been
adjusted since the Santa Fe company
took the road, and that they should
be put on the same basis
as their fellow workers on the Southern
Pacific. The railroad officials state
that there has been no suggestion of a
men will be consulted with and the mat
ter adjusted to their satisfaction. All
the train and yard employees are inter-
and fremen, who had their rates of pay
settled when they brought General
Manager McCool to terms by a strike at
San Bernardino.
There appears to be no evidence of i'll
feeling on either side, and the chances
are that the requests OF the men will be
granted.
The Terminal Road.
The Terminal company yesterday
started its pile drivers to work on the
east side levee. The contract for the
construction of the earth work on the
levee was let to Charles Copeland Of
Pasadena. BY the terms OF the fran
chise the work must be completed by
January as far as Also street from a
point between the Beuna Vista street
bridge and the Santa Fe railway track.
The permanent location of the line to
Rattlesnake island will be determined
on by the 18th of October. Four or five
lines have been surveyed; the selection
of the final one will be determined by
the facility of securing rights of way.
Local Freight.
The Southern Pacific yesterday sent
east five special freight trains aggregat-
ing 125 cars, of which fully ninety per
cent. were loaded with local products
such as fish and dried fruits, wine, grain,
blooded horses, etc. This sort of thing
has been kept up for several months,
and the returns from these shipments
are already causing better times COM
mercially.

ALL BROKEN UP.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AT
LOGGERHEADS.
A Campaign of Trickery Mapped Out
Ward Heelers Already Organized
Some Current Gossip.

Never in the history of Los Angelo S
has the Republican party been split up
so much as it is at the present time.
The better element of the party do not
hesitate to say that they will support the
Democratic nominee if the machine
tickets go through on Saturday. A bit
ter fight is being made in every ward and
there are no less that five tickets in
the field in the third ward. A prominent
Republican politician last night
stated to a HERALD reporter that
it would be well to look over the great
register for aliases that it was the inten-
ton of the ring which includes one or
two county officials, to resort to every
trick to accomplish their end, and that
at least sixty men were held in readiness
to vote in every ward in the city under
aliases.
The better element state most en-
phatically that the success of the ring
means the sure defeat of Mark
ham, and that he will not even carry
his own county. Several influential
Republicans are knitting Markham, and
their headquarters are not very fan
away from the Nadeau hotel.
Doctor Cochran has put up slate in
the third ward. The opposition are
making bitter fight against the ma
chine slate. The old soldiers are lay
ing low for Jim Mendell especially, on
account of certain derogatory remarks
which he is alleged to have made to a
G. A. R. man rejecting on the Grand
army. A big gang has been retained
to travel from ward to ward, and plenty
of crooked work can be expected, and
it is almost certainty that the better
element of the Republican party will
be shut out.

THE CATTLE CENSUS.
A Special Agent Invites Returns From
Cattle Associations.

D. H. Recarte, the special agent of
the census office for the collection of
statistics of live stock on the ranges, is
DESTROYS of obtaining tull and reliable
statement OF the present status of this
important industry. Cattlemen, who
might believe that their statements may
be used for taxation purposes, Mr.. Re-
carte says, may rest assured that their
answers to the questions of the schedules
which will be presented to them by him,
will be held strictly confidential, as the
government imposes severe penalties
upon special agents for the violation of
their obligations. Mr.. Recarte is at the
Hollenbeck hotel where he would be
pleased to receive information upon
and the names of all cattle associations
of this county.

WASHING MACHINES
Which Caused the Arrest of Young
Agent.

young man ma ned j. A. Barthoio-
NEW was arrested on South Spring
street yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Constable Cass Cline, on two warrants
charging him with embezzlement. The
first complaint accuses Bartholomew
with having, on the Doth of June last, en-
bezzled the sum of SIS collected from
Mrs. w. w. Taylor, as agent for VIM. s.
Allen, furniture dealer. The other
complaint charges him with having sp-
propriated to his own use twelve New
Era washing machines, valued at $120,
also the property of w. S. Allen. The
complaints were filed on the 9th of Aug
ust, but the young man had disappeared,
and it was not until yesterday that the
constable was told of his whereabouts.
Justice Savage set both examinations
for the 30th, and in default of 5000 bail
the defendant was sent to the county
Jail.

A SHOOTING MILKMAN.
The Case of Bryant, Who Winged
John Walsh.

The examination of William Bryant
for an assault to commit murder on John
Walsh occupied the best of the day in
Judge Austin's court yesterday. The
facts in this case have already been pub
lished in extenso.
Bryant drives milk wagon, and
claims that he was attacked by high
wayman at O'Clock on the morning OF
August 2S, and that he shot the sup
posed highwayman, who turned out to
be Walsh. Walsh admits that he was a
little under the influence of liquor on
the eventful morning, but claims that
he made no attempt to rob Bryant and
that the latter fired without provoca-
ton. The case will be continued today.

BRUINS RUSE.
BY Means of Which He Obtained
LIQUOR and Cigars,

Charles Dillman yesterday swore out
acomplaint against Diedrich Bruins accus-
ing him of having obtained liquors and
cigars from Dillman q Co., of this city,
valued at $3.50, by means of false pre-
lenses. The complaining witness alleges
that Bruins, who is a resident of San
Pedro, obtained the goods by represent
ing that he had two lots of land and a
house in the city of San Pedro which
were worth $500. Dillman now says
that he has discovered that Bruins has
no real estate at all.
