PASADENA.

City council met in regular session
yesterday afternoon. Attorney Gibbon
representing the Los Angeles Terminal
road, was present, and urged the grant
ing Of right of franchise up the alley
between Raymond and Fair Oaks ave-
nue., and also that permission be given
to raise the round trip rates to Los An
geles to 80 cents, and straight tickets to
25 cents, provided that the company
reduce the price of Communication tickets
from 81 to IS. A special meeting will
be held next Wednesday evening to take
action on the matter. No other busi-
ness of special importance was brought
before the board.
An alarm of fire was sounded early
yesterday afternoon, caused by some
hay burning in the southern part of
town. The department responded, but
their services were not required.
Thomas Banbury will spend Sunday
in town.
A Joint meeting OF the directors of the
two water companies will be held tomor-
row evening to discuss the matter of
further developing the water at DEVILS
gate. Some fun is expected.

THE FATHERS DINNER.

A railroad employe, whose legs had beef
crushed in an accident at Cincinnati, was tolt
by the surgeon that he had but ten minutes I,
live. Turning to a comrade he said his littl
boy and girl would be there with his dinner
and begged him to send them away before the,
saw their father bleeding to DEATH
"whati So deaf Bill slipped On the track.
And one of the coaches of eight
Went over himl Tom, you go back
And tell them to bring him here-straight
To the platforml All of YOU men.
Off with your overcoats, and lay
Them right down on the planksl You, Dick;
Run fast for a doctor, and say
That the company wants him Quick

'How bad is it, sir?'' every bad!'
"Will live?" 'I thins that by noon
Your life will be over. Poor lad!
You are bleeding to deathv' $50 soon!
Say, Jimmy; what is the right time?
Five minutes to twelve? 1t can't be!
The children will come on the chime,
With my dinner; don't let them see -"
Then there was silence. Then the stroke
OF noon came ringing on the ear.
And then all listened-till there broke
Teat silence what we feared to hear
And in our midst, the childish joy
On each sweet face, a little pair
Cried: 'Father. here's your girl and boy
And dinner-father, are you there?"

CHINO.

The Southern Pacific depot at this
place is nearly completed. 1t will be
handsome, convenient building, supe-
rior to the depot at Ontario.
Work on the sugar factory is progress
ing with the utmost possible rapidity.
Though great deal of work remains to
be done before the manufacturing op-
erations can begin, it is confidently ex-
pected that the monster establishment
will be opened for business before the
second week in August.
Richard Gird having failed to find
party who will build hotel here, at
present, has boldly resolved to build
one himself, ON the ground set apart for
that purpose, Notwithstanding he has
so many ''irons in the fire." There is
pressing need of more hotel accommo-
dations, as the number of visitors to the
town is increasing daily.
Peach trees in the orchard OF Mr..
Bristol are 30 loaded with fruit that
many limbs are breaking down, and
others would do so if not propped. Yet
few OF the trees are more than three
years old.
IhoSe VINO claim TO know, declare that
the Chino establishment is the largest
beet sugar factory in the world.
New dwellings are springing up in all
directions, both within the town limits
and on the tract outside of the town.
A change is to be made in the mail
service soon, so that two mails, instead
of one, will arrive and depart daily.

PROF. MENDENHALL's VIEWS.
He Does Not Believe the Colorados'
Course Will Be Changed.

OOurSe VIII De SuduSSu'
T. G. Mendenhall, superintendent OF
the Geodetic survey, who is temporarily
sojourning in this city, says the San
Francisco Chronicle OF Thursday, when
shown this dispatch relating to the
flood, said it would be folly to express
technical opinion as to the cause, effect
and probable continuance OF the great
overflow without definite knowledge as
to the source of the water and the
topography of the country.
1.-The information gathered by railroad
employees" said Mr.. Mendenhall, "as
published in the Chronicle this morning,
is the most definite data l have yet
seen, but even they do not yet know the
source of the water. The statement that
even though the river falls the current
to Salton would not be affected, is GER
tainlv an error. 1t might not be pre-
vented, but it would naturally be al
fected by the volume Of water which
may come from the river. Ii there ls
break in the river bank, with current
of four miles an hour, it would be possl-
BILE to dam it, but it would be difficult
task, and irreparable damage could be
done before the repairs could be effected.
"In the event of an inland sea being
formed there is no doubt but that it
would disappear by evaporation in that
climate, unless constant supply OF
water was maintained. see there has
been advanced theory that the water
rises in Salton basin by subterranean
passages. Perhaps that is so, but my
experience has been that whenever the
source of sudden flood or accumula-
ton of water cannot be explained it ls
always attributed to underground chan
nels. 1t is very safe theory for the
time being, for in lieu of actual knowl-
edge it cannot be disproyed.
Given though the present food
comes from the Colorado river, it is ex-
tremely doubtful # the course OF that
stream would be changed by such a
break, for the reason that the escaping
water is merely subsidiary to the main
body in the river, and unless that inland
body of water can find an outlet into the
river at another point, the present main
channel could hardly be affected. l
shall await with interest the return of
the second expedition sent out by the
railroad company, for, as 1 said before,
until definite knowledge as to the
source is obtained it is useless to ex-
press any technical opinion"

REDONDO.

1t was merry party which left the
pier Friday morning early on the
steamer Pelican for trip to Catalina
island, and days fishing. The day
was beautiful one, but if it did not ap-
pear altogether lovely to two or three on
board, it may be attributed to the fact
that they were not old sailors, however
the frequency of the catches over-bal-
anced all i'll effects and great success is
reported. The party consisted of Mr..
William Herring, Misses Herring and
their guests, Mrs. N. Merriam, Mrs. L.
King, Messrs. Frank H. Hereford and
Theo Cuttings.
The euchre party given at the Redondo
hotel Friday evening, proved pleasant
event.
DR.. and Mrs. J. S. Owens, of Los An
geles, are now at the hotel for the sea-

William H. Mansfield, of the popular
eastern resort, Atlantic City, is expected
to arrive here in a few days with large

UNIVERSITY.

1t was predicted in the HERALD Uni
versity correspondence last week that
both University contestants would be
heard from in the Rosedale Athletic
clubs field day, held July 4th. HERALD
tips on sporting matters always go, and
this was no exception to the rule. Ed
A. McCombs, the University pumpkin
roller" beat the Rosedale chaps at 100
yards run, 220 yards run, running broad
jump and potato race. He also got Sec
ond prize on the hop, step and jump.
Had he not been unfortunately barred
out Of the 440 yard race, he would have
won that, and thus have captured the
all-round prize. Mr.. McCombs, in the
hurdle race, jumped the last hurdle
first but didn't know that he must
touch the string few feet further on,
which he could easily have done. This
looks like capturing the enemy on their
own ground.
John A. Gray, another of University's
younger generation, won the 100-yard
race under II, came in second on the
high Jump and made good record on
putting the sixteen-pound shot. Uni

Evidently the hard and solid, al
though thin rind of the Navel weighs
heavier in the balance than the more
"corky" one of the Mediterranean
Sweet, and doubtless outweighs also
that of many seedlings. No. from
Riverside and No. from Pomona, how
ever, show the lowest rind percentage of
any in the series, save, No. 15, st.
MichaePs, Pomona, the genuine "paper"
rind.
Sugar Contents of the Juice-The ta-
BILE shows the maximum of sugar in the
hill-grown Navel from Pomona (No. 81,
but this is approached very closely by
Navel Nos. the Mediterranean Sweet, No.
8, the Malta Blood, from Pomona, Nos.
18 and 10, and the Tangerine, from San
Gabriel. No. %. 1t is notable that the
latter shows at the same time the high
est proportion of cane sugar to be found
in the whole series; the Pomona Navels
and Malta Bloods standing next. To
what extent the proportion of cane su-
gar determines the sweetness to the
taste is not yet fully understood; the
proportion between the other two sugars
(grape and fruit, not yet determined,
being an essential factor in the case.
The average sugar contents of the
Auily IlPC 4NdVClo \EdIucTcu April anu
May from all localities is 1913 per cent.
Against this we find Mediterranean
Sweets from Riverside and Pomona
(Nos. II and IL, gathered in May to av-
erage $40 per cent. only; while the
Seeding from Smartville, gathered in
January, shows little over 10 per cent,
thus indicating very early maturity.
The Valencia orange from Pomona
(No. 2l) shows decidedly lower sugar
percentage, as does the Contemporaries
GUS Malta blood froom Riverside. The
st. Michaels shows the lowest average
of all the oranges (8.71 per cent?, al
though the roundish sample from
Pomona (No. 16) falls only little be-
low 10 per cent.
Comparing these data with those of
previous years, heretofore published, we
find that the sugar percentage of the
navel appears to have risen from 9.S9
per cent. to 1880 per cent. For the
Mediterranean sweet the figure remains
practically identical. For the st.
Michaels it is higher than we have
found it this season.
Acid in the Juice-In respect to acid
we note at once the maximum in the
Malta blood of over two per cent, with
an average of 1.6 per cent. in the three
samples examined. The next highest
figures occur in the early samples of
Mediterranean sweet from Smartsville, a
maximum of 1853 per cent; but the
average of the May samples from River

1t thus appears that SO far as oranges
are concerned, the California fruit draws
materially less upon all the soil ingre-
dients that have to be replaced by fer
tilization; while as regards the lemon,
it approaches closely to the European
standard for the orange, save in the
much smaller draft upon nitrogen.
There is of course no material differ
ence in the relative proportions OF ash
ingredients among themselves, or
toward nitrogen.
Potash is seen to be the predominant
ing ingredient amounting to quite half
of the weight of the ash; it is, there
fore, highly important that the supply
of this substance should be kept up;
but fortunately, as has been shown by
previous Investigations of this depart
ment, the supply of this substance in
Los Angeles herald., 1891-07-12

California soils and irrigation waters is
exceptionally large, so that in many
cases the current demand for the fruit
will be amply supplied in the ordinary
course of cultivation.
Phosphoric acid is not so heavily
drawn upon; but as il is usually present
in our soils in limited quantities only, it
is probable that it should constitute
large proportion of any fertilizer used
in the orange orchard.
OF nitrogen nearly the same may be
said as regards the natural supply
especially in southern mesa soils; but
as the draft made by the orange upon
this substance is very heavy it will
always be among the first to be current
ly supplied.
AS regards other ash ingredients. it
will be seen that lime is the one most
heavily drawn upon next to potash,
although its percentage varies rather
widely (from 1857 per cent. to 27.77
per cent. for oranges.) The supply OF
lime in California soils is almost uni
versally SO ample within the orange
growing region that no replacement OF
this substance in fertilization will be
called for.
The not inconsiderable demand of the
orange for sulphurc acid, as seen in the
table, suggests that gypsum will be ac-
ceptable in this as in other respects, as
fertilizing Ingredient.
A further discussion of the ash ingre-
dients would not be profitable at this
place.
The incompleteness of the data con-
corning lemons renders it inadvisable to
enter upon any extended discussion, the
more as no extended data from the old
world are available for comparison. 1t
will be noted that the most important
ingredient of this fruit, viz, the acid
percentage, considerably exceeds for the
Eureka lemon, at least, the commonly
assumed average, and in the case of No.
26, from San Gabriel, the acid percent
age is extraordinary. This point alone
should insure to California-grown lem
ons high position in commerce.
The relatively large percentage of
sugar shown by the analyses is a feature
which will further commend them to
the consumers taste as against the per-
centages usually reported. 1t will be
observed, however, that very great diff
ferences exist in the proportion of rind
to flesh and extractable juice, In this
respect the lemons OF Pomona and On
tario stand at the head of the list as far
as it goes.
In ash composition there is no mate
rial difference between the orange and
lemons examined; with more extended
series the variations in both would
doubtless be shown to run parallel.
