CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A Number of Additions Made to the
Exhibit

radishes, three in number, weighing
eight pounds, exhibited by John w.

A SMALL beginning has been made to
invest the beautiful Yosemite valley
with something of the Importance as re-
spects the state with which nature has
so literally endowed it. 1t is possible
to make out of this unique region the
most interesting resort in the world.
Nowhere else can be found such an
array of wonders within such a COM
paratively short circuit, and, in fact. the
scenic display isabsolutely unexampled.
Standing in the center of the valley,
Clouds Rest rises to a height of 99l2
feet, lesser points ascend to almost
equal heights, and the crowding pano-
rama of cascades and enchanting
ramparts crowds on one in scores
of formations that have be-
come famed all over the world. The
heights of the Yosemite fall proper
aggregate 254S feet-nearly half mile
and are made up of 1902 feet for the
Upper fall, $50 feet for the Middle fall
and 4S7 feet for the Lower fall. Sentinel
fall leaps the prodigious distance OF 1910
feet. Taking this unspeakable aggrega-
ton of wonders, and supposing them to
be lit up with thousands of electric
lights, the power for which would be de-
rived from the falls themselves, and the
most dazzling spectacles on earth would
be presented. With the lovely valley
laid cut on artistic lines, and luxurious
hotel accommodations provided, there
is no reason why the Yosemite should
not become the most captivating resort
on earth. The extension to Wawona of
the railway which now stops at Ray
mond would be all that would be needed
in the way of additional transporta-
ton facilities. The several horseback
excursions would always remain inter-
esting features OF the trip, and the re-
duction of the stage travel to twenty
seven miles would remove all objections
of fatigue, and leave agreeable memo
ries in the minds of tourists of slight
obstacles that had been easily overcome.
No state which is happy enough to pos
sess such an incompatible drawing at
traction as the Yosemite valley should
fail to improve its opportunity of call
ing the travelling world thither. To
that end art should be made to assist
nature, the fatigues OF the trip ought to
be reduced to mere circumstance and
the cost of transportation should be
greatly reduced. What Switzerland has
been for ages to the continent of Eu-
rope the Yosemite can be made to the
American continent through liberal
policy of the state, with private enter
prise cooperating.

THERE is one thing that should be
thoroughly understood by every official
in the city of Los Angeles, and by every
one from the mayor down who can in
fiuence municipal legislation, and that
is that the people demand retrench-
ment. They insist upon the looping off
of all unnecessary salaries, the dismissal
of supernumeraries and an all around
municipal fumigation. The man who,
whatever may be his position, shall
stand in the way of this universal pop
ular aspiration will never be forgiven.
He will be followed by the execrations
of the baffied taxpayers, and, though he
may be long-lived, he will not outllve
the resentment of his recreancy to the
real need OF the hour in Los Angeles.

STAND IN.

1.-THE following poem by L. E. Mosher was read
at recent meeting of the chamber of COM

In the giddy game offortune, whether mons or
Fate can easily be conquered, never matter how
she frowns,

Or as the street phrase has it: If we all "stand

In the days when clothes were scant and grub
~ was scarce at Valley Forge.
And the patriots of the colonies were massed on
Father George,
How was it that so easily they shed tn mon
Why, they simply said we'll do it, then they
lsi all-"stood in"
What is it makes Chicago the eighth wonder of
the world,
And sends her name reSounding where'er our
flags unfurled?
It's just because each resident gets in and
makes din
About the. glories OF a. city swhere they al

LOOK how they stocked the cards and won the
world Columbian fair!
See the acres that she covers and how high she
is in airl
And it all has been accomplished by the liberal

Mixed with music of the jaw bone, and the
( fact of standing in"
You remember when, the other day, we had a
citrus fair
And talk was had bout going east, but the.weak
ones didn't dare,
Yet the rustlers said, "We1l do it," then they
let the work begin
CT moving on Chicago, cause the nervy ones

Here lies land unparalleled beneath the skies
of blue
Whose riches lie within the grasp OF every one
of you:
But wealth will come almighty slow-and here
just stick pin
Unless you join the chorus of-"we'll all stand
in"
Out outl upon the souls that pinch the eagle
till he screams;
May their days be full of scale bugs and their
nights be bad with dreams!
May their brick blocks fail of tenants and their
interest rates grow thin,
Unless they join the rustlers, and everyone

"stand in" yes, that's the shibboleth, in unity
is strength,
Let's make the thing unanimous s--combine and
go our length
Declare hard times a fallacy, face the future

And in the resultant happiness we'll all

THE COURT HOUSE.
A DISMISSAL OF THE BELL CLAIM
EXPECTED.
Some Proceedings in the Matter Yester-
day-The Action Taken-The Stoddard
Heirs Will Press Their Claims.

On June 18th the district attorneys
Office served on Henry Blocker, attorney
for James Bell, subpoena summoning
him to appear before Friend +. Lacey on
the 23d inst, with his client, in order
that the defendants in the case OF Bell
VS.. the county Of Los Angeles might take
the deposition of the plaintiff and ascer-
tain on what grounds he lays claim to
the title OF the property on which the
new court house now stands. 1t will be
remembered that about year ago James
Bell began a suit in the superior court to
quiet his title to the old High school
lots. The complaint merely recited that
the plaintiff has title in fee simple to
the property, and demanded that the
county make an appearance and state on
what grounds it lays claim to it. No
summons was ever served on the county,
and the nature of Bells claim has not
been officially made known to the de-
PENDANTS in the case.
Therefore, in order to press the suit to
a conclusion, the district attorney asked
and obtained from the supervisors con-
sent to make an appearance in the
case without summons. Notice was
then served on Bells attorneys, and
yesterday Henry Bleeker, John G. Rob-
erts and the plaintiff appeared before
| Notary Lacey, Waldo M. York repre-
senting the district attorney.
Bell would not enter the office, and his
attorneys objected to his deposition be-
ing taken. AS the law makes it COM
pulsory for the plaintiff in such case
to make known his grounds of action to
the defense, the district attorney now
considers that the county is entitled to
dismissal of the action, and Judge
Clark will probably so rule, guided by
numerous precedents, when the case
comes before him.
The complaint in the case of the Stod-
dard heirs who claim the county Jail
property and half of the court house lot
and building is now being prepared and
will be fled in few days. 1t is conced-
ed that the claimants have clear title
to the property through the transfers on
record, and the question hinges on the
point if the title was transferred to them
through an error and that error be es-
tablished, whether the deed will hold
good or not.

THE FLEMING DIVORCE.
Judge Mckinley Seems to Think 1t
Should Be Secret.

Judge Mckinley Seems to Think 1t
Should Be Secret.
The decree of divorce granted Mrs.
Minnie-Lyman Fleming last Saturday
from Rev. s. j. Fleming, by Judge Nc
Kinley, was filed yesterday with the
recorder. The decree awards Mrs.
Fleming lots A and 5 and the west one
half of lot of the G. HI. Bradley tract
and certain personal property as ali
mony, and authorizes her to adopt her
maiden name, Minnie Lyman. Strong
efforts were made to keep The fact that
a decree had been granted from becom-
ing public property. and those inter
ested to this end were aided materially
by Judge Mckinley, who heard the
case on Saturday at an unusual hour in
the rooms of department six, after
Judge Shaw had adjourned court for the
day and when the reporters for the daily
papers had passed through that depart
ment. When the fact that decree had
been granted appeared in the
HERALD and Times yesterday
Judge Mckinley called on the
county clerk and made an extraordi-
nary complaint against one of the
deputy clerks for "divulging the secrets
of the court" but the gentleman ac-
cused of making known what should by
rights have been on the public records
of the court proved that he had not
"divulged the secret"
1t is the opinion of manv good law
yers that no court proceeding can le-
gally be held in secret way, and it is
the opinion Of the public at large that
the necessity of secrecy is indicative of
weakness.

A GROWING ISSUE.

President Harrison has lately become
irnbued with the idea that he is the Ju-
piter Tonans of American politics. Be-
tween him and his promising son, Rus
sell, there is little need for anybody else
attempting to put in an oar in the shap-
ing OF current issues. A dispatch from
Washington states that the president
still adheres to his silver views. and
that he was instrumental in giving form
and expression to the silver plank OF the
Ohio platform. 1t is added that Mr..
Harrison stands as in the past, and that
he will veto any bill for the free coinage
OF silver. The Republican party may
thus be accepted as opposed to free coin
age, and as taking the Ohio attitude on
the matter, which is, in substance, that
we have all the silver legislation required.
Unless we are egregiously mistaken,
this utterance alone will lose Mckinley
twenty thousand votes, and render his
election very problematical, notwith-
standing the apparent unity amongst
the Republicans of the Buckeye state. AS
to Mr.. Harrison, it may be assumed
that his views on silver are certainly
damaging to his party now; and, If he
were renominated, they would cause
tremendous defections from it all ovel
the United States. There is powerful
element in the Republican party whose
influence should not be underestimated
1t is represented by such statesmen as
Senators John p. Jones and William
M. Stewart. 1t is true that both OF these
gentlemen hail from the rotten borough
state of Nevada. But as matter o.
fact, they have more political sagacity
and closer appreciation of the popular
impulses than any two other men IN
their party. They are worth twenty
people OF arrested development like
George Frisbie Hoar and-speak it not
in Gath nor whisper it in Askelon-the
mighty mite from Indiana himself, oc
cupant of the white house though he
be. If the Republican party shall ac-
cept the dictation of the president,
who desires to see the sill
yer resolution of the ONO platform
copied into the Republican national
platform OF 1892, the Republican party,
no matter what may become of the
Farmers Alliance-whether it shall
shrink or expand-may as well bid good
by to its contingent of western states on
the silver issue alone, if the Demo
Gratis shall do their duty and take the
proper and popular stand on this over
shadowing issue. A Campaign of edu-
cation" has been going on on this silver
issue, and its true Importance is seen on
all hands. Woe betide the party that
shall, in the election of 1892, group
itself as the superserviceable tool OF
Wall street!

PROFESSOR IRA MORE, president of the
Los Angeles Normal school, says in his
annual report that the growth of the
school has been greatly retarded for the
lack of complete chemical laboratory.
The last legislature was asked to make
an appropriation of $4,000 for this pur-
pose, but refused todo so, notwithstand-
ing the normal school at San Jose re-
ceived an appropriation of $37 1000 and
that at Chico of $4,000 for the same
purpose. This end of the state is good
enough when it comes to paying taxes
into the treasury, but when it wants an
appropriation it is incontinently sat
down upon. The northern and central
counties can be depended upon for a
combination of forces against the south
ern counties in all cases where an ap-
preparation which they want them
selves is demanded by us.

PERHAPS the most amusing thing cur
rent of late is the attempt to maintain
the theory that there is belligerent
tone in Secretary Blaine's so-called
vigorous administration of the state de-
partment. He has figured in the Italian
affair with perhaps some approach to
the ordinary standard OF an American
secretary OF state of the Webster or
Marcy order. He probably shrewdly
concluded that Italy's big war tubs were
intended for home use, might sink in
mid ocean, and were IN little danger of
yenturing on trip across the Atlantic,
to be blown up by some cunning Ameri-
can torpedo boat When it came to
England, however, this twister
of the tail of the British lion had moth
ing to say of any special
moment except to impress upon Sir
Julian Pauncefote the fact that the ne
gotiations must be very, very secret, and
secret because if their tenor were pro-
claimed the American people would be-
come very restive indeed. The latter is
our own Interpretation, of course, and it

THE expectation of cattle to the east
from this part OF the state has COM
menced in earnest. A train of sixteen
carloads was sent from San Juan Capis-
trano yesterday, it being the second
train dispatched in ten days by the
Santa Fe company. The price of beet
cattle has gone up in Chicago, and the
railroad people expect to dispatch a
train load every week from San Juan
for some time to come. The Marguerite

As THE board of managers of the Sol
diers' Home passed through this city
yesterday from the east to Santa Monica,
we shall look for session of unusual
interest. The board will, without doubt,
take action upon many suggested i'm
fprovements. especially in the erection
of new buildings and planting out trees
in the spacious grounds of the Home.
1t will also discuss the question of es-
tablishing an experimental agricultural
station there, and if such a thing could
be brought about it would not only
prove local but a general benefit to

THE RAILROADS.
THE SANTA FEE TO RUN TRAINS TO
YSIDORA.
But the Temecula Canon Route Will Not
Be Rebuilt-Notes of Interest About
Railroad Matters.

The Santa Fe company has decided to
open its Temecula cailon road from its
junction with the Surf Line route, as
far as Ysidora, distance of two miles
north from the junction. This will en-
able some of the ranchers of that local.
ity to forward their products by rail.
The portion of the track referred to was
not washed out with the rest; it extends
only to the canon where the waters did
the damage.
The remainder of the canon route will
be permitted to remain in its state OF
desuetude. 1t never did pay, and the
company has no desire to rebuild it
every year.

that it remained for the jingo secretary
