A MODEL AGRICULTURAL SEASON.

There has been a good deal OF empty
talk about the advantages that might
have ensued to this section if we had
been prepared in the past few weeks to
have made experiments with dynamite
discharges in the air to bring down rain.
1t is argued that the atmosphere is
charged with moisture, and that all that
was necessary to open the fioodgates
was to fire into them. This is all very
we'll. But how long would the precipi-
tation have lasted, even if the clouds
had been bombarded? The north
wind has stood out against a drenching
rain like an ogre of evil. Every time
the atmosphere has clouded up and rain
has fallen, or was imminent, the north
wind has swooped down upon us with
fury and driven the lain and the clouds
to Jericho. If the dynamitards had in
vented some sort of an engine that
at bay, we would have had
all the rains that could have been
desired, and more too. The north wind
has now had its reign, and its disap-
pearance will give Jupiter Pluvius g
chance to have his reign and the grain
farmers their rain as we'll. The indica-
tions are that the north wind has had
its blow out, and if so Jupiter P. will
take his turn and have blowout" too.
But we don't see that anybody should
borrow any serious amount of trouble
about the season SO far. There is plenty
oftime for the grain farmers, who are the
only ones interested, to raise good crops.
Let us only have few inches in Janu-
ary to soften the ground to the pillow
then the seed can be put in, and few
subsequent showers which we are
almost sure to have, will give us an
abundant yield. We may not be able
TO get in as wide an area as usual; but
what we have will come to full-sized
crop and that will compensate
for the smallness of the area
we may be enabled to plant.
Take the experience of two years ago.
That was season OF immense downpour.
J. P. went fairly rampant. Over forty
inches of rain fell that year. What was
the consequence Nothing that was
planted at the beginning of the season
materialized as crop. The late sown
grain only matured, and we got away
with less than half crop. We shall
double discount the yield OF two years
ago if we get-as we believe we will
three or four inches OF rain next
month. Why, there is no reason
80 far, for doubling the good
agricultural outcome OF this season.
We are optimistical enough to believe
that when the harvest time has come,
the season of 1892 will show itself to
have been one OF the best agricultural
seasons We have had in a decade. A
very wet season is a delusion and a
snare. An over-dry season is another.
But season in which a moderate
amount of rain falls in January, with
copious showers from that time on, is
the model season for successful results in
farming.

THE ILLUSTRATED HERALD.

For some days past canvassers have
been out soliciting advertisements for
the ILLUSTRATED HERALD ANNUAL. This
will be the twelfth issue of this invalua-
BILE publication, which has done so much
to develop Los Angeles and Southern
California. Our agents have met a most
gratifying success, and they will remain
in the field until it is time to put the
work to press.

THERE are few persons in the COM
munity who pursue vocation that is
within the sanctions of the law who
practice greater acts of injustice and
heartlessness than those who make it
business to purchase tax titles at de-
linquent tax sales. There may be ex-
ceptions to the rule, but we have heard
of so many instances of downright
"clnching" of poor people who had
been unfortunate enough to have this
tax,title cloud placed upon their homes
that we are satisfied the exceptions are
very rare. Spectators who make a
business of buying tax titles are rarely,
if ever, troubled with such an incon-
venience as q conscience, and the size OF
their demard when redemption is asked
for, is only limited by the amount they
think they can squeeze out of poor de-
linquent who has fallen into their
clutches. A case was cited to us yester-
day in which one of these operators had
the temerity to ask $500 to release the
tax cloud ON widows lot that had cost
him only couple of dollars. Why the
law does not interpose against this kind
OF shameful extortion is one of the
blemishes in our revenue system. These
spectators ought to be allowed interest
on their money, and that interest might
be graduated upwards So that it would
make handsome return to them. But
why the law should leave the amount
to be paid for the release of tax title
optional with the buyer is incompre-
hansihln

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
The Votaries to Indulge in Wiut;
Tennis

The Votaries to Indulge in Winter
Tennis.
The tennis tournament at Santa Men
ica this week promises to be a great sue
cess. The Casino courts were crowded
with enthusiasts yesterday afternoon,
who are doing their best to secure some
of the prizes for Santa Monica.
Great improvement was shown by
several players, notably by Perry and
Livingston, who are several points bet
ter than at the summer tournament,
and should stand good chance of win
ming. The doubles and singles will rest
between I. Coulter, Lester Bumiller,
and Germain, the latter being first
favorite. Theo. Coulter, the champion
of Southern California, is out of prac-
tice, but will have a good chance of win
ming another challenge cup in addition
to the one he secured last August.
Messrs. Severance and Vail have pre-
sented the prizes for the doubles and
Mr.. f. &. Ryan for the handicap sim
giles, whilst in addition to the silver
tankard given by the S. NJ. l.. T. G. as a
challenge cup for the singles, Mr.. w.
Lester has kindly donated silver cup to
be kept permanently by the winner of
this event.
1t was decided yesterday to hold an
event for ladies. This will give an
additional interest to the tournament
as there are SO many lady players in the
country. Mr.. L. Vail has kindly pre-
sented the prize for this event, which
will begin at 10 O'Clock on Wednesday
morning.
The following players from Los An
geles, well known in tennis circles, have
entered for the singles: I. Coulter,
H. Germain, A. Bumiller, III. Routh and
M. Manning, and several others from
Pasadena and Alhambra are expected to
play
Entries for the singles must be sent
to L. Cawston, Santa Monica, before 10
o'clock on Tuesday.
Amongst the visitors at the Casino
yesterday was Mr.. ID. ID. Acker, one of
the most enthusiastic tennis players in
the county. He is now residing here

Ir IS worth while just now for the
student OF meteorological phenomena
to pay visit to the truck gar
dens of the Cahuenga foothills.
The sharp weather we have had
the past several days has had no
effect in that belt whatever. String
beans, tomatoes, peas and alFthe other
dainties of the leguminous kingdom are
thriving as finely as if there had been
no visitation OF desiccating north
wind within hundred miles of the
Cahuenga foothills. At an early hour
yesterday morning the atmosphere in
that warm belt was as mild as it is in
our ordinary seasons, whilst in the low
est parts OF the valley it was cold enough
to suit a hardened hyperborean like
productive resources in our foothills
that have as yet hardly been touched by
the hand of industry. 1t will not be
long before enough water will
be developed in the caflons or
brought from the water courses
to irrigate the entire belt.
Then the aggregate returns from that
region for early vegetables will be some
tning marvellous. We mentioned few
days ago the conversation between
Cahuenga farmer and the agent OF
great produce commission firm. The
farmer said he would give bonus of
5000 an acre for every acre he had, to
any party who would supply his land
with water. He said he could afford to
do this; for, whereas he could now only
make profit of about $3.50 out OF each
acre every year with scant water, he
could increase his production to $500 an
acre with an ample supply.

From the Nel1 York World.
SEBEwAING, MICH. June 18.-George
Beach, a farmer, owned a mule that has al
ways been terror to farriers and never
has been shod except after being thrown.
Fred Heyman, a new blacksmith, told
Beach he would shoe that mule in the regu-
lar way if he died in the attempt Aided
by three men to hold the mule Heyman
succeeded in the task yesterday. Then he
stepped to the window to cool off, when the
mule broke away from the man holding
him and rushed at Heyman, striking at him
with bis forefeet, one of the boots hitting
him 10 the head. Heyman lodged to
get out Of the way, when the mule dropped
on all tours and snapped at him with his
foaming jaws. Heyman attempted to
dodge in corner, but in doing so came
face to face with the mad beast He
yelled TO the others to kill the mule. One of
the men drew his revolver, but before he
could fire the mule had made another snap
at Heyman and bitten off his nose and part
Of his right cheek. Then the shot rang out
and the mule fell dead.
Heyman's nose was sewed on, but be has
only a slight chance for life. He is crazy
from fright, and the doctor says ne is likely
TO die of blood poisoning. If he lives he will
be noseless. The mule nearly killed man
who tried to shoe him about a year ago.

They are Wilde Westmoreland, John Bird
and John eagle, brother-in-law of West

old, giving his name as Sherman Phelps,
came into the United States marshals Office
and related Lis story of the killing of two
travellers by the Westmorelands on Feb
Is, 1896. over a year ago. They
were robbed of their money and
the murderers compelled the boy to throw
the bodies into Salt creek which flows into
the Cameron river three miles from where
it flows into ths Arkansas. The boy, with
q rope around his neck, was made TO swear
| never to reveal the crime, and did not till
in the presence of the United States mar
shall. The matter was kept quiet to enable
the authorities to apprehend the parties,
| which they did on Su 1day morning last at
their home at the mouth of the Cameron,
surprising them in their beds.
The creek Is too high for dragging now,
but will be searched thoroughly as soon as
low enough to admit. For years east
travellers have been known to stop at the
Westmoreland's and have never been seen
again. The bones of three victims were
found in wood near by, pointed out by
eagle to the marshal's party, and near by
were found some good clothing, a lady's No.
