THE INTEREST OF THE STATE.

The inhabitants of San Francisco gener-
ally understand what are the objects in
striving to array one portion of the popula-
lion of the State against another. In the
Legislature this policy has been pushed to
the injury of San Francisco bv boodlers gen.
orally. This object has been to tax our citizens
inordinately by a corrupt body of men while
claiming that San Francisco desires to eS-
cape paying its proper proportion OF taxes.
Whenever a Legislature assemblies we are
almost certain to have the cry raised that
San Francisco in various ways is striving
to injure the balance of the State. Even
San Franchises bOodlers, who generally
have a large representation in the Senate
and Assembly, seem quite willing to have
our interests prejudiced in this way. We
have recently gone through an experience
with tue Board of Equalization, the mem
beTs from San Francisco being seemingly as
ready to misrepresent us as were the in
terror members. We have any number of
mtei ests which the bOOdlerS strive to cinch,
which means to extOrt money from those
interests. If certain enterprises require
legislation they must pay for it, nd II they
do not require legislation some member in
PRODUCES what is termed a einch bill, which
the members threaten to pass unless they
are paid for strangling 1t. Recently a new
movement has been agtated. 1t comes
from an effort which is being made among
our business men to obtain a reduction OF
freight charges on merchandise to and from
the Atlantic States. This movement is
good one. and it is quite as essential for the
prosperity of every portion Of California rs
it is for San Francisco. Lower freight
charges for our merchants and for in
terror merchants means lower prices for
imported commodities, and lower freights
rates on fruits and other agricultural prod
ucts means more money for every portion
of the State-to the people at large; but,
strange as it may seem, an effort is being
made in a certain quarter to create the I'M
preston that movement for lower freight
rates for San Francisco means an effort to
injure the interior. a poor estimate of the
intelligence Of the people must be held or
such an argument would not be put forth TO
embarrass tine assembling Of a convention to
consider the subject of a reduction on

THE QUEEN STILL LIVES.

The Examiner had an exclusive bit OF
news the other day to the effect that the
Queen Of the Hawaiian Islands had but few
days to live, and that at her death an effort
would be made to establish English influ-
ence over the islands. Later intelligence Is
that the health of the Queen is not bad and
that there is no present cause for apprehen-
sion of her death. Mr.. Cleghorn, the father
of the heir presumptiVe of the throne, does
not think that an English protectorate, or
anything resembling one, can be establish ed
over the islands, even if the Queen should
die. In this opinion Mr.. Cleghorn will be
supported by vast majority of the Am eri-
can people. An English protectorate over
the islands could only be established by
successful war.

A BIG SCHEME.

Two Hundred Thousand Acres OF Fertile
Land Under Water.
Governor Wofey of Arizona, who has
been visiting San Diego during the past
week. was met at the Brewster the other
evening and gave some information con-
corning his biz irrigation scheme in Ari-
IONA. 1t is a gigantic proposition. and one
likely TO result successfully and TO the very
great benefit of the Territory. The propo-
stion is TO construct a diverting dam
across the ella River, at point about
twenty-five miles above ella Bend Station,
on the line of the Southern Pacific Rail
road, where the stream has cut through
mountain range, leaving the rocky bar
riers standing opposite each other and at q
distance comparatively short. The site
chosen for the dam Is a good one and
affords conditions which could not be
obtained any other place on the river
The dam will be 1900 feet in length
aud about twenty feet in height
at the channel. TIE dam will be con
structed Of piling and earth work. 1t is not
intended As retaining dam to impound Il
vast quantity OF water, but simply to divert
the water from its channel and convey il in
a great canal to the lands below the dam,
which consist of 100000 acres OF as fine
agricultural land as can be found in the Ter
ritory OF Arizona. The overflow of the
dam is to be 600 feet wide, though the natural
channel is only go feet in width. The
water will be taken out at point above the
highest overflow.
The canal will reach the railroad at ella
Bend station on the line of the Southern Pa
cifc. At that point turns west and lateral
canals will be run out to every available
point ON the ella River mesa
1t is one of the largest irrigation schemes
on foot to-day, and will cost less money than
any of those in California The dam is esti-
mated 10 cost $4,000 aud will be completed
by the 1st of February.-San Diego Union.

REVISING THE ROLL.
The Assessor VIII Give Real Estate soI
I'll

The Assessor VIII Give Real Estate Some
Modern Valuations.
The Assessor has undertaken a task.
There has been no genuine and thorough re-
vision Of the assessment roll for upward Of
ten or twelve years. and very naturally it is
at odds with the true valuation from one
end of the city to the other.
Assessor Siebe is now at work revising
the entire roll, and the magnitude of the
work can best be appreciated when it is
known that every piece OF property in the
city must be visited personally ana inquiry
male into the present valuation.
The work first commenced on the fifty
vara district lying within Market and Lar
kin streets, which is now nearly compl eted.
The 1O0-vaTa district will next be under
taken. Present indications are that next
years valuations will be surprisingly I'M
like anything of late years.

A FORGER TRAPPED.
BE Trusted Too Much on the Credulity
of the Hotel Clerk.

BE Trusted Too Much on the Credulity
of the Hotel Clerk.
William HIGHLAND, tall. slender young
man, who claimed the occupation of book
keeper, was arrested recently at Seattle by
Officer Leckie upon a charge of forging the
firm name of Shepard, Henry & Co. to a
cheek for S64 70.
For some time past says the Post-Intelli-
gencer HIGHLAND, who has been drinking
heavily. has made his headquarters at the
Chicago Hotel and represented that he was
in the employ of Shepard, Henry 81 Co.,
railroad contractors, who have offices in the
Haller Building. He always paid his bills
promptly in cash at the hotel until few
evenings since, when he presented check
for S64 70, signed by Shepard, Henry
u Co., and asked for loan on it
for day or two. The clerk suspected
nothing wrong and let him have the money.
He subsequently was given several smaller
another loan day or so after it occurred to
the clerk that before any more money was
paid out it would be wise policy to learn
If the check was genuine. Accordingly an
emplOye of the hotel was sent to the Puget
Sound National Bank, on which the money
WAS drawn, and the check was presented 10
the paying teller. The teller suspected that
the check was forgery and, teiephOnlng to
Shepard Henry x Co. he learned definitely
that they did not know any person named
Hogaud, nor did they ever issue check to
him Tor any amount.
Comp amt was Immediately made at po-
lice headquarters, and Officer Leckie was
detailed to make the arrest. He watched
the Chicago Hotel for Hosand to show up,
and when the young man finally did appear
at II o'clock the officer attempted to catch
him. Hogland eyaded him anu started
down Railroad avenue as fast as he could
run, but Leckie succeeded in catching him
after a chase Of several blocks. HIGHLAND now
sits disconsolaie i'll jail and refuses to talk of
the affair
