If THE Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany should adopt and carry out the
policy recommended by Mr.. w. H. Mills,
to purchase the large ranches that are
impeding the growth OF California and
divide them into small farms to be sold
to settlers at fair valuation, it would be
doing a work OF great benefit, especially
to the northern part of the state. AS
Mr.. Huntington has fully approved of
the policy recommended by Mr.. Mills, I'VE
may look for an early division of some of
the extensive ranches in Northern Cali
fornia that are now monopolized by cat
tie or devoted to the growing of grain
Mr.. Mills, in an address he made here
some time ago, said that there were por-
tions of counties in Northern California
where the neighbors were ten miles
apart, and the tendency was in the
direction of wiping out all small hold
ings and adding them to the already
extensive ranches.

The new Democratic national

The new Democratic national conven-
tion will consist of precisely nine hun
dred delegates - eight hundred and
eighty-eight for the states and twelve
for the territories. AS the two-thirds
rule still prevails in the nomination for
president we have thus guarantee that
no man who does not represent the ma
fured judgment of the party will receive
the prize. 1t will require just six hum
dred delegates to name the standard
bearer. The first man who has SHE'D
his castor into the ring, to adopt the
language of profession which lately
engrosses much Of the space OF
the daily newspapers, is David Bennett
Hill. His entry is backed by the solid
seventy-two votes Of the state OF New
York--a good thing to draw to, to em-
ploy parlance familiar in other pro-
Iessional circles. As a-result Of prima-
ries in the Empire state which were

urned up at Albany with 374 delegates

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

BY an arrangement with the Southern Cali
fornia Railroad company the HERALD is now
being delivered to its patrons on the line of
what is known as the "Kite-sbaped track" In
time to reach the most distant point of the
route before breakfast. The towns included in
this service are Garvanza, Raymond, Pasadena,
Lemanda Park, Santa Anita (Sierra Madre),
Monrovia, Azusa, Glendora, San Dimas, Lords
burg, Pomona, via North Pomona, North On
tario, San Bernardino, Highland, Mentone,
Kastberne, Redlands Cotton, East Riverside,
Riverside and South Riverside. The HERALD
has agents at these places to whom orders can
be given. The HERALD publishes the full As
sociated Press dispatches with news from all

land. Naturally he got all the dele
gates to the national convention. The
majority still rules in Democratic con-
ventions, and long may it rule. No
method has yet been discovered by
which twelve delegates can outvote
three hundred aud seventy-four. 1t is
worthy of remark that in rejecting the
dictation of William r. Grace, e. Ever
lasting Anderson, and the other mall
contents from New York, the convention
acted unanimously; even the twelve
Cleveland delegates joining in repudi-
ating this self-constituted iunta of dis
gruntled politicians.

The Mitchell girl who killed Freda
Warde in a paroxysm, as is claimed, OF

who commits suicide because of his

All these abnormal developments of
passion show that there are people 80
constituted that they are not fit to live,
and the sooner they meet their quietus,
no matter how it comes about, the bet
ter for the world. The dime museum

side of the tracks would be improved,
VIII lst tkat portion occupied by the
railroad would remain as it originally

property holders, to improve their street,
make it more convenient for the use OF
vehicles, and increase the value Of the
adjacent property by the added attrac-

PRESIDENT BARILLAs, of Guatemala,
has invented very effective way of se-
Enring his reelection. General Enriquez
was a conspicuous candidate for the
office, and Barillas met his presumption
'by declaring that he was trying to foment
. revolution. So, he sent detachment
of soldiers to his hacienda to put him
down, which they did most completely
by killing him and his two brothers. If
other candidates find that they are
likely to be treated in the same way,
Barillas will probably prove to be the
unanimous choice Of the republic

THE Pacific Gable company have petit
toned the city council to permit their
company to pave their portion of Pearl
and Figueroa streets under the provis-
ions of the ten years bond law. 1t is
optional with the council to permit
street railroads to take advantage of this
provision of the street improvement law
or not. In case the council should grant
the petition of the company, some nice
questions may arise. The law provides
that street bonds shall be secured by a
lien on the property aligning the streets
improved under its provisions, and that
the interest and one-tenth of the princi-
pal shall be levied by the city in the
regular tax levy and be paid every year
with the taxes until the whole amount
has been liquidated at the end of ten
years. But such proportions of the
street as are chargeable to railroad,
coming under the bond act, can only be
secured by lien on the road. Now the
question arises whether any contractor
will be found to bid upon that portion OF
the streetso secured. If the bonds should

of the road included in the work, would
probably be considered a security not
esaily convertible, and hence no reapon-

POMONA, Feb. %.
The Sycamore Water Development
company, OF which Pete Fleming and
Col. Rhorer are principal stockholders,
has tunnel in the sloping mesa east of
Indian Hill extending 5000 feet, and
have started up work on an extension,
and propose to continue during the sum-
mer. They will also resume boring for
artesian water from the surface down
through and below the tunnel. They
have splendid stream of water now
running through their pipes from the
tunnel and will increase it largely in the
next few months.
The luscious fig is raised extensively
in this valley now. Rev. Sheldon has
twenty-seven acres, L. Rhorer has seven
acres, and various other parties have
orchards of greater or less extent and
all in full bearing. The question
now is how to take care
of the fruit. The fruit is extraordinarily
fine, but heretofore much of it has been
allowed to go to waste. This OF itself
seems to indicate the need here of a
crystallizing establishment. As the fig
can be dried, crystallized, picked, pre-
served and iammed, it does seem that
none of the heavy product OF this valley
ought to be wasted or allowed to sour
and rot upon the ground and trees.
