EXHAUSTION OF SOIL.

A Writer in "Industry Gives Some In-
 teresting Facts.
 SThere is no country in the world--at least no civilized one-where the ex- haustion of the soil is so little considered as in the United States. Such exhaus- tion is what may be called tremendous fact in national economics--one that has engaged the attention of scientific men and economists in all countries, but has never become subject of popular consideration, except in a few places where, as Malthus says, population presses on subsistence The exhaustion of the soil is measurable or predictable from the amount of solid matter re- moved from it in the way of crops. As a general rule, the effect is as the dry weight of whatever is grown, the water not being counted. When stalks and leaves, as well as seed, are removed, us in the case of tobacco or maize culture, exhaustion goes on faster. There are also certain kinds of crops that create chemical exhaustion, but as rule it is problem of weight. Root crops, such as turnips, beets, potatoes and so on, seem heavy, but are not so if water is not counted. Wheat, barley, oats and other grains are not heavy crops if the straw is not removed, and in this fact the western method of wheat grow ing has a great advantage. Under present methods of harvesting not much is taken from the ground except the clean grain. A feature of the lands of this coast that favors their maintenance is in the depth of the soil. This varies as in other countries, but nowhere else is there such depth as on the sediment ary lands of the largevaHeys of the Pacific slope. In the San Joaquin, Sac ramento and other valleys the soil is from two to twenty feet in depth--in some places much more--and no ex- haustion is possible, except of the sur face, the deposits being great beds rather than soil. The uplands have, as rule, rich soil, but when the covering of natural grass is destroyed and culti- vation begins there is set up rapid waste, especially on steep hill lands, by water erosion, and exhaustion begins
 "The fertility of soil is not, as is often supposed, fixed quantity and quality of the ground, portion is drawn from tho atmosphere in vegetable growth, 50 the seed, as in the case of wheat, may be removed and the straw compensate

The one great fault in making hay on this coast is the long exposure to sun. light, It should be placed in the stack or in big cocks as soon as it is cured enough, a little green rather than too much sun. Some farmers think the sun does not injure hay, but it does. It not only bleaches out its color, but it causes chemical change, rendering it less digestible and not nearly so nutri- tious. Another fault is to allow grasses and grains for hay to become too ripe before cutting. Grain hay should be in the milk for feed. in the dough for sale.

THE BEST YET.
A MAGNIFICENT BOULEVARD EN-
TERPRISE BEING PLANNED.
An Old Project Revived-The Plan as
Outlined-A Chaussee Which Would Be
an Indescribable Attraction-The Pro-
posed Route.

The people OF Cahuenga valley are be-
ginning to show little enterprise in
the form of schemes for the develop
ment of their vicinity, although they
have shown themselves little slow in
action. The latest plan which is being
agitated is one of magnificent proper
tions, and one which is OF interest to the
people of the city almost more than to
any others. This is the construction OF a
boulevard from Westlake park directly
to Santa Monica. The property holders
along the proposed route, it is expected,
will gladly donate to the city and coun-
ty the necessary land, and in fact many
have already announced their willing
ness to do 80. The original scheme
plans road from Westlake park, follow
ing the Seventh-street line over the
Rancho de la Brea, the Rodeo de las
Aguas, the Rancho de Buenos Ayres,
and the Rancho San Vicente to the Sol
diers' home, and thence in direct line
to Santa Monica, total length of thir-
teen miles, through the entire frostless
belt. The roadway is to consist
of three parallel ways, the northern
most a drive of 80 feet, the middle q
paved bicycle road 20 feet wide, and the
southern-most an electric railway. Each
is to be divided from the other by
rows of trees and beds of flowers on the
plan of German chaussees. The trees,
it is expected, will be fruit trees OF diff
ferent varieties, and the income derived
from them will be more than sufficient
to keep the boulevard in fine condition.
Thus, visitors from the east and pleas
ure-seekers from the city could enjoy an
outing in the refreshing sea breeze amid
the mingled perfumes OF flowers and the
sweet aromas OF orange and lemon trees.
Those whose purses are sufficiently pleth-
oric could drive their own spanking
teams, the bicycle fiend could gaily de.
velop his calves, and thepoor man could
at least take front seat on an electric
car and let the brine-laden breeze toy
with his locks. The whole outlay, it is
estimated, would not be greater than
$40, 900, or thereabout. That, of course
does not include the electric road, fol
which it is hoped some company will be
lucky enough to receive franchise
The plan is one OF magnifcence, worthy
OF Chicago or New York, and the
boulevard would be a cheap, yet effec
tive attraction, added to the many nov
at command at Los Angeles. The boart
of supervisors and the city council will
before long, hear more of this grea
scheme

THE COHN CONTEST.
The Dead Mans Relations With
Delphini.

ne Deau IVAN NelaIlQuS w WlIn
Delphini.
The contest over the estate of the late
B. Cohn was resumed yesterday before
Judge Clark.
Mrs. Delphini Cohn, the contestant,
has established the relationship which
existed between Cohn and herself, by a
number of witnesses. The fact of their
intimacy was generally known from
what the witnesses state, and it also ap-
pears in evidence that he acknowledged
her as his wife. Did not deny his rela-
tionship to the children resulting from
his relations with Delphini, and finally
made a marriage contract with her
which was subsequently stolen from
bureau in the room occupied by the
couple by one Mike Stack, an employee
OF Cohn's, who it appears acted under
instructions from his employer when he
committed the theft.
Mr.. Juana Courtenay, who was on the
witness stand when the case was con-
tinued on Friday last, resumed her
story yesterday morning. She was en-
ployed about the house in which Cohn
and Delphini lived and knew great
deal of their home life. Cohn always
treated Delphini as his wife, spoke of
her as such, and at one time told the
witness that they were married. Del

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
San Diego County Will Have the Ex
hibit Here.

The secretary of the chamber OF COM
merce yesterday was notified that the
board OF supervisors of San Diego county
had recognized the chamber as an or
ganization representative of Southern
California, and had passed an appropri-
alton OF $500 to pay for the space in the
permanent exhibit necessary for an ex-
hibit of San Diego county products. Ac-
cordingly, table 80 feet by 3 feet has
been allotted the county named. Maj.
George N. Nolan sent letter at the
same time, in which he announced that
he will soon have fine exhibit ready
for shipment. A feature of the display
will be fine painting showing the har-
Dor and bay OF San Diego.
This leaves one county only to fall into
line, that of Orange. There is little
doubt but that the supervisors there
also will recognize the benefits to be de-
rived from the chamber, and will pass
the necessary appropriation for member
ship. The chamber is now practically
representative of all Southern Califor-
MIA, and will then be actually SO.

''Free Lance" writes from Whittier as
follows: 4
"The grand jury called on US the other
day, and were all dined and some of 'em
wined.
GAS soon az we saw them coming up
the road we bethought ourselves that in
the hurry and hustle of putting on our
best bib and tucker we had forgotten to
run up our bunting, but this little over
sight was soon remedied, and the en-
blem OF freedom waved from our mast
heads. 1t is true the eclat of the pro-
ceedings suffered somewhat from the
TACT that the flag on our palatia] stable
was reversed, serving as an unpremedi-
tated but not inappropriate signal Of
distress.
''They came, saw, and. according to
our official organ, stretched themselves
upon the fifteen-dollar lounge, and were
satisfied. From which outsiders would
naturally infer either that the grand
jurors were not allowed to deposit their
manly frames upon the fifty-fve-dollar
lounge in the Office, the sixty-fve.dollar
lounge in the trustees room, the satin
covered tete-a-tete in the superintend
ent's private sitting room, or that they
were easily satisfied.

statement, and they both seemed to be
very happy.
The witness knew that Cohn was sick
in the house on several occasions and
was attended by Delphini and her
mother. Several other witnesses were
called and testified. They were unani-
nous in declaring that Cohn and the
fair contestant were known as husband
and wife. The case will be resumed
