There has been a hitch in the pro-
ceedings 20 secure .he use of the moon

matter stands about thusly, says the

held meeting and apportioned the
amounts to the different counties on the
proposition that the southern counties

published was: Los Angeles county,
$4,000; San Bernardino, $4,000; Orange,
$500; San Diego, $500; Ventura, $500 ;

AT joint meeting of the directors of
the Les Angeles board of trade and Los
Angeles chamber of commerce, held
Thursday, June 18th, 1891, the following
preamble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted and telegraphed to Di-
rector-General Davis, the chairman of
of the board of control and the chairman
of the local board, at Chicago:
Whereas, California has made the
largest appropriation of any state in the
union, proportlonate to its population,
for worlds fair purposes; and
Whereas, California is the greatest
state in the union in the production of
fruits, wines and flowers; and
Whereas, The action Of the director
general in offering the names of two
Californians as chief of the bureau of
horticulture, both of whom have been
rejected, shows that he is convinced that
this state is justly entitled to represen-
tation in that office; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce and the Los An
geles board OF trade in joint session as
sembled, having solely in view the good
of the entire state and the success of the
Columbian exhibit, urge upon Director
General Davis, the board of directors,
and the board of control, the appoint
ment of Hon. j. De Barth Shorb for the
position of chief of the department of
horticulture, viticulture and foricul-
ture, knowing him to be man of ma
tional fame, possessed of all the qualifca-
tions necessary to fill the position with
credit to the nation. He is gentleman
of wide experience in business affairs, of
broad executive ability, of superior ad-
dress and scholarly attainments, and we
are convinced that his appointment and
confirmation would give complete salts
faction to the people of California, and
tend strongly to increase their interest
in the great exposition. We therefore
ask his appointment as a measure of
justice, fitness and good policy.

OcEANsIDE, June 17.-This morning

two silver watches, gold watch and a
gold quartz chain of Marshal Wilson

THE PORT COSTA DISASTER
Caused by the Carelessness of the
Gravel Train Crew.


Gravel Train Crew.
The investigations of the Southern
Pacific company show that Monday 8
accident near Port Costa was due to the
carelessness of the crew of the gravel
train, and particularly to the engineer
and conductor, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The switch was turned SO
as to allow the Los Angeles passenger
train to pass the double track and pre-
vent the work train passing off the sid
ing on to the single track. The con-
ductor twice over mentioned to the
train dispatcher that he would move
out as soon as the Los Angeles train
passed, and said to him: "Kegister me
out as soon as No. 1S gets in." Not
withstanding this the conductor threw
the switch over, the engineer started
out, and not one of the train crew re-
membered the orders which had been
given and which all must have known.
Both men have been with the company
many years, the engineer since 1883 and
the conductor since 1874. In Mr.. Crock
er's opinion both are as guilty of man.
slaughter as the man who fools with a
loaded gun and kills an innocent on
locker. The working system of the
line, it has been ascertained, was in
perfect order, and no one could have
thrown the switch over but the con-
ductor, who must have done 80 delib-
erately or in fit of absence of mind.
Both Conductor Collins and Engineer
Moore have reported to Division Super
intendent Wilder, and can be called as

Sergeant Helwego, of the Indian scouts,
had been killed, scalped and otherwise
i'll treated.
The killing turned out to be myth.
Loco Jim was encountered up small
