SMALL POTATOES THEN.
A. REMINDER OF WHEN THE CoUN-
TVS WEALTH WAS SMALL.
The County Assessment Roll of Forty
Years Ago-The Taxes Then and Now.
Don Coronel the Compiler Of the List,

County Clerk Ward has unearthed
some very interesting old public records
since the removal of the clerks Office
into the new court house, and now has
several men at work sorting and arrang-
ing them so that they can be found if
they are ever called for in the future.
The basement Of the old county build
ing before the removal was filled with
boxes OF these old records which were
fled away pronaiscuously yaars ago and
have remained untouched through sue
cessive administrations up to the present
time.
When the new court house was COM
pleted these papers were all unpacked
and the herculean task bf arranging
them into some sort Of order is now un-
der way.
The first assessment roll of
Los Angeles county, compiled in 1852
by Don Antonio F. Coronel. at that time
county assessor, was discovered. 1t is a
book of about twenty pages, 42x12
inches in size, and is written in Span
ish. The document is we'll gotten up,
and so good quality of ink and paper
was used that, Notwithstanding
the nearly forty years which
have elapsed, every word and figure
is still perfectly legible. The cover Of
the book is handmade affair, and was
manufactured by pasting calico over
paper with common -four paste. The
calico is of antique design, and cactus
figure running through it indicates that
it is OF California manufacture.
The total valuation of personal prop
erty in the county is given in the roll as
81, ,l83,89S and the total valuation of
both real and personal property amounts
to $2,234, ,451. The county taxes for that
year (1852). were $11, 172.17, the state
taxes, $721.20, and the poll tax 1927 80.
The assessment book for the present
year offers an interesting comparison
with these figures. In 1862 Los Angeles
county included what is now Los An
geles, Orange and San Bernardino coun-
ties and portion of Kern. The assess
ment for 1891 in Los Angeles is $69, ,675,-
l57; in San Bernardino, $21 ,O37 ,29O; in
Orange, $9,014,585 Kern is assessed
for$l0, ,792, SIS. The total assessment for
this year for the section included in Los
Angeles county in 1862 is therefore some
thing like 105,000,000 Quite raise
from $4,000, 900 in forty years
Clerk Ward has also found portion
of the first statement of claims allowed
by the board OF supervisors of this coun-
ty. It includes the period between July
II, 1850, to September 18, 1851, but as
only fragment can be found, the total
allowance has not been ascertained.

could do with the flags and heliograph,

could do with the flags and heiograph,
and won great praise for the
high degree of proficiency shown. De-
tails were made each morning bright
and early, and before the sun was many
hours high the flash of their mirrors
could be seen on one Of the hills eight
or ten miles distant, and messages few
back and forth from headquarters co the
outpost during every morning OF the en-
campment.
The general verdict is that the short
time spent at Camp johnson was of
greater benefit than an entire year of
armory drill.
The guard is as yet in it's infancy in
this part of the state, especially, and
considerable difficulty has been encount-
cred in getting uniforms and equipments,
and if such good results can be obtained
under conditions which, to say the
least are discouraging, the National
Guard Of California, when it receives
sufficient appropriation and is accorded
the recognition it deserves, will compare
favorably with the militia Of any state
in the union.

A woefal State.

One of Philadelphia's most prominent
physicians, while in Virginia recently,
wandered into a village courtroom where
o trial was in progress. AS he entered a
dispute which was being carried on be-
tween the prosecution and defense as to
the advisability of admitting certain let
ter as evidence was ended by the Judge de-
string that the letter be given to him in
order that he might decide the matter
When the letter was handed to him he put
on his spectacles, turned it first inside out,
then upside down, then sideways, examin-
ing it carefully all the time.
Whats the matter with the judge"
asked DR.. Blank of bystander. "Why
doesn't he read the letter."
"Pshawp' said the individual addressed,
with world of contempt in his tone, che
can't read readin' readin', let alone writin'
adin'."-Harper's Magazine.

Decorations at q Ball.

At recent English ball the floral dec
orations were beautiful and very origi-
nal In the middle Of the two large
bathrooms hung large parasol formed
by wire frame and covered with pink
La France roses with their leaves, the
crook handle being tied with pink rib
bons. There were also numbers Of imi-
tation chandeliers hung from the cell
ing and staircase made entirely Of flow
ers and leaves. Gilt rustic baskets were
filed with Japanese honeysuckle Of
glowing colors. The pillars on the land
ings and the large mirrors were covered
with long trails Of stephanotis, the whole
effect Of the decorations being remark
ably luxuriant and charming.-Ex-
change.

A Novel Fabric.

A foreign textile journal records the
invention of new kind of looped fabric
which has a novel and beautiful effect,
with durability never before attained.
The popularity about it is that worsted
is used for the thread forming the figure
Of the design and alpaca or mohair for
the threads forming the ground Of the
design. The contrast between the lus-
trous and beautiful threads Of the mo-
hair and Of the worsted, it is said, forms
an effect that is strikingly novel.

to the peaceful Pacific; or it may be
attracted by the SUMS rays in such a
manner as to find its way after a time
into the stormy Atlantic, and so with
human lives. We often stand on the
great divide and one step may bring
us to fame and glory, while step the
other way may lead US into darkness,
ruin and defeat.
There are times in every mans life
when he must look beyond the present
and take good strong hold on the
future. IL is true that circumstances
alter cases. Early training, education
and associations all go to make up the
destinies of human life upon which is
built the character that will Outlast
the marble shaftor the bronze column.
The young man of today should look
well to it that he takes the side of
everything that is good, honorable,
virtuous and manly, for these are the
attributes of manhood, and without
them he must fall by the wayside,
unheard, unwept, unhonored and
unsung, but mourning forever in all
the bitterness of his desOlation.

MARRIAGE

The papers of late have had a great
deal to say about marriage, and among
them the matter seems to have been
resolved INTO business proposition.
and one that every young man and
woman should carefully look into be-
fore they form an alliance. There is
altogether too much marrying in haste
to repent at leisure.
The mother is often to blame for
the unhappiness of her daughter and
the father is often responsible for the
misguided Judgment of his son.
When a couple make up their minds
that they are to become partners for
life it is question for each one to
carefully consider and weigh well. Is
he able to support a wife and will he
love and cherish her? Has she been
brought up in such a manner as to live
within his income; willing to start at
the bottom of the ladder, and hand i'm
hand with her husband, try to reach
the top.
The married people who have made
mistakes in their choice of life-part-
ners-side partners, so TO speak-are
today demoralizing the courts and
society with divorce cases. Every
conceivable excues is furnished, and
on any pretext person can procure a
divorce.
For the first seven hundred years in
the Roman Empire divorce was
never granted, and during this period
Rome became mistress of the world.
Marriages were very much favored by
the laws of the Romans, severe penal
ties being visited upon those who re-

An IMPORTANT MEETING

The petition for the improvement
and construction of road from Fair
haven to the southern boundary of the
county will be presented to the board of
county commissioners at their session
to be held tomorrow, Monday, morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The proposed road
is Of great Importance to Fairhayen
from a commercial point of view. 1t
will tap one of the richest sections Of
country in the state, and will open for
the merchants of Bellingham bay a
new avenue Of trade. The Samish
valley or flats to which the road will
lead is ole of the most productive and
most promising sections, and is being
rapidly developed and thickly popu-
lated. The principal town is Edison,
and the people residing in the valley
are without adequate communication.
At present all the freight and sup
plies come from Seattle and Tacoma,
and is landed at SamiSh island and
from thence transported in small
boats to Edison. BY the building of
the proposed road the thousands of
dollars paid by the residents of this
fertile section for supplies, will be di-
verified to its natural channel-to Bel
bingham Bay. In addition to this
there are many people on farms and
in logging camps along the pro-
posed line of the road, who would
visit and trade in Fairhaven if the
proper means of communication were
established. and il is to be hoped that
the commissioners will make a favOra-
BILE disposition of this important
enterprise.

manned single. At one time the CEN
sors obliged all the young bachelors to
make oath that they would marry by
a certain time. Augustus afterwards
increased the tariff on bachelorhoOd
and bestowed rewards on those who
were the parents Of numerous OIL
spring.
In America some "sassiety'' seems
to have endeavOred to make it vulgar
for an American woman to have chill
dren. Many of the American
mammas remind one of Nabis, King
of the Greeks, who had an image in
his palace which represented his own
wife, who was very beautiful. The
image was clothed with magnificent
garments, such as were proper for a
queen to wear, but the breast and
arms of the image were stuck full of
sharp iron spikes, which, however,
were hidden by the rich clothes.
When King Nabis wished to extort
money from one Of his wealthy sub
jects he invited him to his palace and
led him up to the image. No sooner
was the stranger within reach than
the image put out its arms and
squeezed him close to its breast. This
was done by means of machinery. The
poor man might struggle as hard as he
pleased but he could not possibly get
away from the cruel embrace Of this
lovely woman. There he remained
with the iron spikes sticking into his
flesh until his agony compelled him &c
give the monarch as much money as
he asked.
Many of the young women Of today
are used by their mammas and some
times by their thrifty papas to catch
rich men and hold them for the money
there is in them. This doesn't make
the squeezOr or the squeeze, happy

OUR YOUNG MEN

Riches are among the supreme goods
of the human race and, within reason,
excite the admiration of the gods and
men, not in themselves, but for what
they bring.
1t is noticed by the strangers who
visit our young and prosperous COM
monwealth, that many Of the most
responsible positions are held by the
young men. And it may be said the
business generally of this state is con-
Quoted and managed by our young
men. This can be assigned as one of
the reasons why the great west is
thoroughly alive, pushing forward and
reaching out for supremacy.
The very rush, hustle, push, energy
and perseverance Of our young and
growing cities on this coast, can be
accounted for 10y the youthful blood
infused into it from young America.
How different is this picture from
that seen in the East. 1t matters not
nv" mum Va BaNlb0 bht NbullE uldu
may have in the East, or executive
ability to manage large firms or great
institutions, he is told politely to take
back seat and remain until others,
who are older than himself, have been
promoted or have died off, thus max
ing room for him.
1t is not to be wondered at. there
fore, that young men love the West,
where they have an equal chance with
all mankind in the great race for sue
cess and fame. 1t is here that the old
and young work side by side, each one
looking after himself, and the man
having the natural ability, wit com.
nonsense and good business judg.
ment, generally comes out ahead in
the race.
Young men, middle-aged men and
old men, you are all welcome; but t.
succeed it will be necessary for you t.
