FURNISHING THE COURT HOUSE
Quite a Low Bid Accepted for a
Judges Dais.

JANS~ D0ASs
Some time ago the board OF super
visors advertised for proposals to fur
nish judges bench for department
three OF the superior court, and all the
desks. chairs, railings, etc., that will be
required to equip the county depart
ments which will occupy the upper
story OF the building when it is COM
pleted. Six bids were submitted, all
from Los Angeles parties. The bids
We're opened yesterday and that sent in
by Henry Bohrman, being the lowest,
was accepted.
Mr.. Bohrman proposes to furnish the
rooms in accordance with the specifca
tions adopted by the board for $32l7,
and the first section of his bid is a
Judges bench. screen, platform and
witness platform for $775," price con-
siderably lower than was received by
the Los Angeles Furniture company.
From reading of the specifications it
appears that the upper story will be
furnished the same as the lower floors,
as they specify that the furniture must
be made and finished in such manner
as to compare with the other rooms.
The board spent major portion of it's
session in hearing petitions for the es-
tablishing of new irrigation district at
Glendora. The meeting room was
crowded with people interested in the

THE NEW BOARD.
Proceedings Yesterday Of the Police
Commission.

Commission.
The new police board which was con-
structed by the council Monday in such
the first time, all members except Cap
tain Mackey being present. The alb
sent member sent word that he was ill.
The application for permit for license
of II. Richmond at northeast corner of
San Pedro and Seventh streets was re-
ferred to Chief Glass for investigation.
The city license collector reported
eight delinquents, and the report was
filed, because the delinquents have un-
til today to pay their arrears. The re-
port was finally allowed to be with
drawn, a new report to be rendered at
the next meeting.
The commission then went into the
committee of the whole to hear the
protestants against the granting of
permit for license to Francis z. Francis
at Washington gardens. A delegation
Of eighteen gentlemen appeared before
the board, and the spokesman. DR..
Dodge, read the resolutions passed at
meeting OF 200 property holders held
Monday night, in which resolutions the
committee expresses itself as convinced
that the gardens would not be run in
proper manner. and most forcibly object
to the granting of the license. A dozen
or more speeches were made by mem
bers of the delegation, all of the same
tenor.
The committee of the whole then rose,
retired and reported to the commission
as such. The motion of John Bryson at
the last meeting to reconsider the de-
nial was before the commission, and was
lost. Mr.. Francis's application is there
fore finally refused.
The commission then adjourned.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Daniel Sully, the popular Irish COM
edian, will appear at the Los Angeles
on Monday, presenting his comedy, The
Millionaire, which was seen here last
season. 1t is not easy to understand
what it is that pleases the people who
go to the theaters, but they always make
it quite clear when they are pleased,
and Mr.. Dan Sully is a favorite. He is
a good actor and he makes the railroad
contractor most striking and sympa-
thetic parsonage. There is degree of
realism, too, in the way both author
and actors handle the railroad scene
that is taking.

Mr.. Richard Gird has been heard
from with regard to his dereliction oi
duty as member of the state board OF
agriculture, in the non attendance of
meetings of the board and the state
fair, and on the subject of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Jesse d. Carr as superin-
tendent of the Southern California cit
rus fair. In letter to the secretary OF
the chamber of commerce Mr.. Gird
says in part:
"The urgent business of carrying on
proposition, which is the largest agri-
cultural business operation in the state,
necessitated my presence at home; but
/ have always taken the liveliest inter-
est in the state fair, although there has
been very little encouragement for any
body from south of Tehachapi to attend
the state fair. In years before,
as we'll as this year, there have been
but one or two exhibits, and those very
trifiing from the southern part of the
state. There is very little encourage
ment to either the people or the mem
bers of the board Of agriculture from
this part of the state to go there when
there is nothing to represent their por-
ton of the country. While they are
really going to all this trouble to help
the northern and central parts of the
state, this southern portion ls not reap
ing the slightest benefit.
st is an unjust proposition for us to
pay taxes where we derive no benefit,
and equally unjust for the state TO ap-
point Mr.. Carr to be put in charge of the
citrus fair business of this part of the
state, about which he knows nothing
and probably cares less.
"0f course, these things are very gall
ing to us people of the south, and the
quicker we make some sort of demon
stration and assert ourselves the better.
"While the members of the board up
north are going to the fair and doing
lot of pompous work, the best PROPOSE
tion that am working out myself is an
industrial proposition that is worth four
times more to the Pacific coast than all
the state fairs ever held in it.
"Mr. Hardison, l presume, feels as l
do about it, that it is rather burlesque
to 60 up north and spend our money and
time to attend to the affairs of that por-
ton of the state which is alone repre-
sented.
81 think it would be worth while for
the press and the chamber of commerce
to take cognizance OF these facts"
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES.
San Diego has made its peace with
Los Angeles. A number of olive
branches have been received from the
city of bay and climate to ornament the

NO MORE NON CoMPACTS.
The Armstrong Companies Reinsure
Their Business.

J. X. Urmston, the local manager of
the London and Lancashire Insurance
company, yesterday received telegram
from San Francisco stating that all of
the Armstrong insurance companies had
reinsured with the Lancashire, which,
by the way, should not be confounded
with Mr.. Urmston's company.
The Armstrong; were the only COM
panies in California which were not
members OF the great insurance mo-
nopoly called the compact, and this rein
surance removes the only competition in
pay the full rates or 60 uninsured.

goodsized seal with hook and line. The
hook caught in the animals jaw, and as
1t was being towed in its cries were pit
eous. 1t is now to be seen in tank on
the pier, where it is attracting much at
tention.

NOT SUCCESSFUL.
The Southern Pacific Telegraphers
Strike in this City.

The Telegraphers' strike as far as the
railroads in Southern California are con-
cerned is failure and not man went
out of the Southern Pacific or Southern
California roads offices, and the officers
have no apprehension of any trouble.
1t was stated yesterday that the men
on the Atlantic and Pacific road had all
LETT their offices and that the road was
tiled up" but this could not be veri-
fed. From present indications the
strike will be an absolute failure unless
the discontented operators can induce
the other unions of railroad men to join
with them.

A Very Bold Thief

Wednesday afternoon tramp who
possessed the audacity of prize fighter
and the cheek of a political aspirsnt, and
having no fear of the law, doctors or any
other man before him, burglarized the
house of our fellow -townsman Mr..
Whann, the business manager of Staver
& Walker, and succeeded in making a
haul that would or ought to have salts
fed ID irst-class thief. Upon taking ac-
count of stock, he had stolen about $3.50
worth of jewelry, some Sc in cash, a re-
volver and Mr.. Whann's best articles of
raiment. Upon the discovery of the
theft, the officials were notified and a
search for the thief was instituted, and
after most dilligent search, he was dis
covered short distance above town in a
clump of bushes near the railroad track,
arrested and brought before Justice
Knowles. It being late in the evening
His Honor relegated him to the tender
mercies of Marshal McLachlan, who fur
nished him with fIst-class accommoda-
tions in our city Jail. During the even
ing while the marshal was gone to pro-
vide few delicacies such as angel cake
and shrimps for the aforesaid tramp's
fastidlous taste, he repaid his kindness
by cndeavoring to break jail. He had
in some manner secured a large piece of
a broken bottle, and wrapping cloth
around it, was discovered in trying to
sever some of the bars before his win
dow. He was soon placed in position
where he was perfectly safe. Thursday
morning he,again appeared before JUS
tice Knowles, who bound him over in
the sum of 81 900 to appear before the
grand jury.-GrGnd Ronde Chronicle.

GOING BACK TO THE SEA.

During the past year more interest
has been taken in the development of
our ocean carrying trade than there has
been for the preceding quarter of a CEN
tury. For twenty-five years the nation
has been devoting her energies to inter
nal development. Her main railroad
system is now built and the first hand to
hand struggle for possession of the
wilderness is ended. There is yet vast
room for capital, labor and population
to utilize our agricultural resources, but
the area of rapid speculative conquest is
now ended. In these past years there
have been many reasons given for the
disappearance of the American merchant
marine from the high seas, and, while
one and another of these reasons NAV
have had some justification, it is enough
to recognize the one maine fact that the
United States abandoned the ocean
freighting business at time when inter
nal development offered better remuner-
alton to capital and labor. A marked
change has lately taken place and there
are unmistakable evidences of a strong
disposition to return. to the sea. The
new navy, the reciprocity treaties and
the postal steamship subsidy act are
among the official signs. The CONNER
cial signs are not less significant. The
recent naval maneuvers on the Atlantic
coast have proved beyond question that
we can plan and build war vessels. The
newest of our cruisers and the battle
ships under construction are confessedly
the best of their respective classes in the
world, the cruisers being the fastest ves-
sells ever designed and the battle-ships
being the most powerful. Under the
stimulus of the ocean mail act new
lines of steamers are being projected in
almost every direction. Meanwhile it
is possible that the return of the United
States to the ocean carrying trade may
be accomplished through the rapid
adoption of wholly new model of
freighting craft which, itself, is wholly
the product of American genius. For
year or two the grain and ore carrying of
the CREST lakes has been employing in
constantly increasing numbers, new
form of barge called the "whaleback,
and il has been found advantageous to
use the same model for the propelling
steamer as well as for the towed barges.
The whalebacks have, of all vessels ever
built, by far the largest carrying capacity
for the least cost of construction, the
greatest strength and security with the
greatest ease and economy of operation
and the greatest speed with the smallest
quantity of coal. One of these, the
Chas. w. Wetmore has lately taken
cargo of 100000 bushels of wheat from
Duluth to Liverpool and the trip has
demonstrated her superior seaworthiness
beyond question. She consumed only
ene-third the coal that an ordinary
freight steamer would have used in do
ing Il like service. The whalebacks are
to be built in increasing numbers at
West Superior, by the American Steel
Barge company from steel plates, made
on the ground out of Lake Superior iron
ore. 1t is u novel idea that the typical
water-carriers of the future destined to
be known on every sea and in every port
should be constructed in ship yards as
far inland as Wiconsin and Minnesota.
