PRODUCTION of fruit vermin to section

where the letting loose of new pests
amongst our orchards means ruin to
thousands. Indeed we believe that an
embargo should be placed upon the i'm

from abroad. We can now raise all
we require from our own stocks, and it
would be safe for planters to refuse alto
gether to buy stocks from abroad.

AFTER we had written short edito-
rial reflection on the situation in Chile
Sunday evening, dispatch reached US
at a late hour announcing that the ex-
pected battle between the Congressional
and Balmaceda troops had commenced
two days before. The result of the first
days fight was favorable to the Consti-
tuition al army, but the struggle was to
be resumed. We shall probably very
soon know the result. If Balmaceda is
beaten, that will end the rule
of the usurper, for there will
be no organized force to con-
test the passage of the Congression-
alists to the capital at Santiago. OF
course, Balmaceda may fall back, if not
entirely overwhelmed, and try to pro-
long the struggle; but he will have lost
his prestige. If, on the other hand, the
insurgents" are repulsed, they will re-
tire to their ships and transports and re-
turn to Iquique much better off than
they were before, for they will have
consecrated their cause with a we'll
sustained battle of several days dura-
tion, in which they were called upon to
meet 10000 of the enemy with one
third their number, and fell back only
before superior force.

THE COUNCIL HUFFY.
A Member Who Slightly Censures the
Fire Commission.


In March or April last the fire COM
mission found that engine No. was
badly out of repair, and ordered the
chief engineer of the department to have
it repaired, although the amount neces-
sary to pay for the work would exceed
$500, the sum fixed by the charter as
the maximum expenditure for work not
done by regularly advertised bids.
The work was parceled out between
several firms, and to get the acquisitions
for the money with which to pay the
bills through the council, the amount re-
quired, $725, was divided up and put in
the shape of acquisitions by the chief.
Two OF these requisitions, one for $3.50
and one for $500, were presented and
allowed by council. A third one was
put in yesterday, and there was kick.
A vote was taken on the claim being
allowed, and it was relegated to the
pigeon-hole in the clerks desk, where it
will likely remain until an explanation
is forthcoming as to why the matter was
not laid before council in the regular
way.
One of the councilmen voiced the SEN
timent of his colleagues when he re-
marked to reporter: II am not object
ing to repairs being made, but when the
expenditure OF such sum is involved,
no matter how urgent the necessity for
the repairs may be, the matter should
be laid before council. Now, know this
was an urgent case, but there was no
necessity for the commission to dodge
the charter. Had the matter been
explained to council it would have been
put through without delay, and these
people would have had their money long

Submarine Boats.

1t may be of interest to summarize
the results that have been attained up
to the present time in the science of
submarine navigation. They may be
condensed and enumerated as, follows:
1. Submarine boats have been built
in which speed of II knots an hour has
been made for considerable distance
under water, and four or five knots
maintained for several miles.
2. The problem of supplying air to
the crew of submarine vessels has been
solved. afru
3. Submarine boats have been built
which can be caused to descend or rise
to the surface at pleasure, and which,
when subjected to practical tests under
favorable conditions have proved to be
under perfect control of the helmsman
at all depths below the surface.
4. The question OF lighting the in
terror of submarine boats, which was at
one time one of the chief obstacles to be
overcome, has been settled by the eIec-
trio incandescent lamp.
s. Apparatus has been designed by
means of which the commander or
helmsman, while the boat is submerged, ,
can see what is going on above the sur
face of the surrounding water.
6. Electricity has furnished an al
most faultless motive power for SUBJ
marine boats. 4Ns

AN EXPERIMENT THAT SHOULD BE
CONTINUED.

It will be very serious loss to Los
Angeles county if the breeding farm at
Rosemeade is broken up and the fine
stock of brood animals there are per-
mitted to be sold out of the county.
L. J. Rose has built up at Rosemeade
one of the finest breeding farms for
blooded stock in the United States. He
has gathered there some sixty head OF
the best thoroughbreds in the country,
including such sires as Argyle and st.
Carlo. The former is the best stallion
ever bred at the Palo Alto breeding
farm, being sire of two such celebrated
performers as Fairy and Rinfax. st.
Carlo is the most fashionably bred horse
ever brought to California, having been
bred by the late August Belmont. Mr..
Rose has an unapproachable collection
of thoroughbred Australian mares at his
farm. Haggin, Thornton, DR.. Ross, and
other breeders have made large importa-
tions of stations from Australia for the
purpose OF breeding them to Australian
mares, but Mr.. Rose is the first stock
man to have imported Australian thor
oughbred mares to breed to American
stations. The experiment is one OF
great promise, and everybody will regret
that he cannot thoroughly test it before
breaking up his farm. Some of the
finest colts ever seen anywhere are now
on his farm. We do not know
in what hard places Mr.. Rose has
cast his lines that he feels constrained
to stop in the middle OF one of the most
interesting experiments in horse-breed-
ing ever attempted in the United States.
We are sure it is not because his venture
so far is not of the most encouraging
kind, for it is. There are millions in it,
all say who are capable of expressing an
opinion on the subject; and little pa
tience would soon prove the fact that
great and profitable industry was inau-
gurated here when Mr.. Rose established
his thoroughbred farm at Rosemeade. 1t
is the hope of everybody that some ef-
fective steps will be taken to keep this
stock together and to continue the Rose
meade farm on the plan projected by its
owner. 1t offers fine chance for the
formation of a syndicate of our wealthy
men to put money into profitable busi-
ness and at the same time preserve to
this county the nucleus of an industry
which is susceptible of great and unlim-
tied expansion, and which might even
tually transfer to Los Angeles the pres
tige and profit which now adhere to the
stock-breeding magnates OF the Kentucky
blue grass region.

ducement of the blizzard states is cheap
ness of land> Those settlers do not
know that ten or twenty acres of Cali
fornia land will produce better results
to the farmer than 100 acres in any of
the new western states, and can be had
as cheap, comparatively. This kind OF
information ought to be brought home
to the young Americans at the east who
are forming another wave of westward
migration. 1t is only ignorance of the
facts that can cause any young man to
select the Dakotas to settle in instead
of California. The first cost of the land
should cut no figure in the choice. The
right kind OF men can secure land
in any part of this state on terms
they can more easily handle than they can
meet the slightest shortage on farm in
Dakota. Yet they go there to face the
billiards OF all seasons, the winters that
are inexpressibly cruel and long drawn
out, and the exactions of soil that is
inimical to cultivation without the most
laborious efforts are put forth by the
settler. If there is any way to divert
the intelligent American settler from
such inhospitable states to region like
| California, where the climate is serene
and the soil always kind, the immigra-
ton convention ought to put it in opera,
ton. Intelligent presentation of the
facts is the best method, and this course
should be pursued energetically, earn,
estly and persistently.

NOT SEEN THE WHALE.
A MAN WITH AN IRON JAW AND A
BRAZEN CHEEK.
He Headed an Expedition to Capture a
Whals-A Well Known Fakir and His
Latest Act-Something of His Past.

There is good joke on Captain
George Ainsworth, of Redondo Beach,
going the rounds. According to the
story the captain yielded up several
hundred dollars in scheme to capture
whale, which was to draw crowds of
sightseers to the beach. The captain
was imposed upon by fakir known to
fame as Mons. Mrinzo. He secured a
great quantity of rope and all the neces-
sary paraphernalia besides quite little
cash in advance, and that was the last
heard of Mrinzo. There are two
damaged boats, one at Santa Monica
and the other at Wilmington that
Mrinzo induced their owners to rent to
him and that is all that is left of the ex-
pedition.
The great whale capturer is believed
to be at Catalina. He is dark, stall
wart man and came to Southern Cali
fornia as the iron jaw man and did the
heavy weight act at the dime museum.
Mrinzo created sensation about two
years ago by eloping with the Albino
girl at the dime museum. This girl was
only fifteen and was born in this county.
her parents, WHO uVeu aC OOmpCOu, I,
tried to Illustrate the marriage but they
we're too late as Mrinzo had already been
married several hours before the police
were notified. A few weeks after the
Albino wife of the swarthy athlete ap-
peared in a beer garden at the end OF
the Temple-street cable road and did a
thrilling mid air dive" down wire
suspended by her teeth. This buiness
soon failed to draw the ducats and the last
heard of the professor until the present
episode, was at Campo, in San Diego
county, where his travelling shows were
stranded.
1t is probably needless to add that
Mrinzo never had an idea that he could
catch whale, but he managed to make
some little money out of the bluff. All
is not yet tranquil with Prof. Mrinzo by
any means. He is liable to be called
upon to explain matters in connection
with the proposed whaling expedition,
and an expedition has been fitted out for
his capture.

In REPLY to an article in the HERALD
about the business depression in San
Francisco, the Chronicle points to the
increase in assessed value of the prop
erty of that city during the past ten
years to show that it is constantly grow
ing. The HERALD has never questioned
the fact that the bay city is growing
but it has insisted that with its great
advantages and its immense accumu-
lated capital it has not grown as fast as
it ought to have done. That this is due
to the short-sightedness OF its leading
business men and capitalists, there can
be no doubt. San Francisco's property
will be more favorab!y affected
by the building OF the Nj
caragua canal than any other city on the
continent, yet her business men and
capitalists refuse to subscribe to this
great commercial maritime highway.
1t would, of course, be idle to say that
San Francisco is going to suddenly be-
come a modern Thebes or Tyre; but it
is perfectly true to say that she has not
been equal to her opportunities, and
that she is letting trade slip away from
her. or failing to secure trade which is
within her reach, because her merchants
and capitalists are deficient in business
sagacity and courage. As she loses her
interior tributaries she fails to
exploit and develop, as it should
be developed, the vast commerce
that can be drawn to her lap from all
parts OF the Pacific. 1t is no answer to
a fair and just criticism like that to say
that San Francisco has increased her
taxable wealth since 1880 $50, 900, 900
and then to compare that with the in
crease of the wealth of Los Angeles
county and show that she surpassed us
SO, 100000 in thattime. Los Angeles has
developed her present wealth from al
most nothing in 1880, while San Fran
cisco had for thirty years before that
time had monopoly of the commerce
and the wealth of the whole state. Ii,
however, weshould determine the wealth
of Los Angeles thirty years hence by the
ratio of its increase the past decade, our
city would leave San Francisco far be-
hind her.

JUDGE SHAW has decided that the
infected trees imported by the Mes
serves shall continue under the restrain
ing order, with the right on the part of
the defendants to ask for it's dissolution
at any time after having notified the
horticultural commissioners. The de-
cision Is virtually a triumph for the
latter. 1t leaves the importers of the
trees free to do all they can to diveet
them of their insect pests; but it will
devolve upon them to prove to the salts
faction of the commissioners and the
court that the trees have been thor
oughly cleansed and are no longer liable
to spread infection, before they
can have the restraining order dissolved.

THE special water committee of the
council made report yesterday which
was not acted upon, but which contains
line OF suggestion which it would be
well to thoroughly discuss before either
encouraging or diseouraging the plan
proposed. We are rapidly approaching
the time when the franchise of the City
Water company willexpire. One Of the
provisions of that franchise is that the
city shall purchase the plant OF the
company and take possession Of it's works
at the expiration Of its franchise. 1t is
apprehended by some people that the
company will have the city at it's mercy
and can force it to purchase it's plant
and works at an extortionate figure, I'M
less the city is in position to protect
itself. The committee propose in their
report to provide for just such an emer
gency, and recommend that a scheme
be acted upon which will lead to the
construction OF water system that will
place the city in position to purchase the
present works at a fair price or refuse to
purchase them at all at an extortion-
ate price. The proposition is to first
operate for the relief of the hill parts
of the city by taking the water out at
that point on the Feliz ranch where the
woolen mill ditch and reservoir was
formerly supplied from, carry it in pipes
to the highest parts OF the city and
thence to all parts if necessary. The
committee propose that an election be
called and that the people vote upon the
issuance of $4,000 worth of bonds to
pay for the work of bringing in the water
on this plan. The city would erect its
own dam, lay its own pipes, construct
it's own reservoirs and provide for the
distribution of all the water needed by
consumers. The system would grad
ually be extended, so that in six or
seven years from now, when the City
Water company's franchise expires the
municipality would be in a very indie
pendent position to treat with that
company about its plant.
