We HAVE received circular from
Prof. E. W. Hilgard, of the University
of California, enforcing the claim OF the
ramie plant upon the farmers of Cali
fornia. He states that there is every
reason to believe that it will flourish in
the Kern valley and other portions of
Southern California. 1t supplies fiber
very valuable in commerce. Under
previous conditions it could only be
utilized by cheap hand labor. 1t is
claimed now however, that a machine
has been invented which divests it of its
gummy environment and makes the
fiber as available as when freed by the
hand process. Its yield can be greatly
increased where facilities for irrigation
exist. We doubt, however, whether
land with good water right ought to
be surrendered to ramie, an uncertain
experiment, at best, Such land can be
made to yield from six to eight crops of
alfalfa yearly, and that is product
with vastly more money returns than
ramie could be made to yield under any
circumstances. However, those who
feel an interest in ramie would do we'll
to communicate with Prof. E. w. Hill
gard, who will gladly supply them with
all the desired information.

the following telegram:

Secretary Proctor and party will leave
Wilcox at pm March 31st, and will
reach Los Angeles at or 2 o'clock pm.
on April 1st in a special train.
BAKER, A. d. G.
The mayor, when seen by HERALD
reporter, stated that he would like to
meet the chamber of commerce at 2
O'Clock this afternoon. He has tele-
graphed the secretary as to his recep-
ton here, and he will have reply
ready to lay before the chamber at the
hour mentioned.
The mayor thinks that possibly the
secretary will consent to public recep-
ton at the city hall. The Redondo
hotel management have offered to the
chamber of commerce its hospitalities
for dinner to the distinguished guests
tomorrow evening, with special trains
there and back, and various other
methods of entertainment have been
suggested.

The imperfect tenure by which Eng

lustrated by the fate of 700 troops
slaughtered in southern India by the

LONG BEACH seems to be forging to the

of the hotel the place has been to some

the Terminal railway at that point has
quickened the interest in Long Beach,

The Destruction of the Ice Factory
Plant by Fire.
PALATKA, FLA, Dec. 2.-The Palatka
ice factory was Quilted by fire yesterday
morning at o'clock. The fire was burn
ing fiercely in the middle of the building,
which is of wood with tile roof, when the
alarm was made. and alth ough the hose
companies got there promptly they found a
big fire to fight. Three streams were put
on it and Chief Gay. by the exercise of good
judgment, soon had the fire under control
aud prevented the burning of the Macon
Brewing Company's establishment, next
door. The machinery. valued at $4,000, is
almost useless. and the loss is probably $15,-
900 to 1000. The origin of the fire is un-
known, as the factory hands quit work at
$50 the previous evening, and no one was
in the building. The owners, L. c. and L.
j. Canova, will at once rebuild. The es-
tablishment was very fine one, employing
q number Of hands.
The insurance was placed in the eight,fol-
lowing companies, each of whom carried
81, 500: Pennsylvania, Liverpool, London
q Globe, Continental, German American,
American Of New York, Niagara, Spring.
field and Western Of Toronto.
The loss to the companies in this city this
year had not been over $500. and the agents
here were expecting to MAKE a fins record
this year, and they would have done so in all
probability had it not been for this fire.

Ssndersville Prisoners Put In the New
Structure.
SANDERsvILLE, GA, Dec. 2.-The old
Jail of Washington county was burned this
morning at $3.50 o'clock. There were three
buildings on the premises. an old-fashioned
two-story jail, the jailer's residence imme-
diately In front, and the kitchen. The fire
originated in the latter. The wind blew the
flames toward the jail, which was soon
ablaze. An effort was made to save the
residence, but it was only about twelve
fest from the Jail and the fire was so hot the
bucket brigade could not successfully combat
it. The prisoners, three in number, were
removed to the new Jail, now in course of
construction. They called Justify when the
fire was first discovered, but they were
taken out before the Jail caught fire. All
of Sheriff Wallis furniture was saved. He
