GREAT MEN RECLAIM POOH LAND.

The San Francisco papers are poking
iiun at certain class of homeseekers
who recently went into Ventura county
to take up land on a forfeited railroad
grant that had been restored to market
again. Those papers deride the country
as barren waste of chemisal and sand /;
but what was Bakersfield before her
canal system was completed? Nothing
but desert. What was Fresno and
what was Ontario? The came applies
to all. Without water they were moth
ing, but with water they contain no end
of valuable properties. If the careful
observer will review the history of the
Pacific coast, he will find that the places
which have gained the most wealth in
the past forty years, are those that b ad
the least natural advantages.
Forty years ago the men who sought
to begin agricultural life and give up
mining on this coast, located either in
the valley of the Sacramento or of the
Willamette. Those two regions have
stood still, comparatively, while sections
apparently less favored by nature, have
progressed beyond the most sanguine
hopes of their promoters. Take the
town OF Chico, as fair sample. 1t had
about 1000 people in 1880, as against
a1,311 for Los Angeles. Now it has
about 5000, as against $4,000 for this
city. Oui growth is attributable to a
happy combination of fine climate
and fecund soil, with a superb irriga-
ton system. Everything connected
with our uradvancement as people, shows
a continuous struggle against natural
disadvantages. Walled in by high
mountains on three sides, and the sea on
the other, we are today two-fold great
er railroad center than San Francisco.
And so will it ever be where men OF
pluck and energy locate. to wiring victory
out of the frowns of defeat and triumph
by sheer energy and will power. The
lazy and conservative element are out
of place in a moving and energetic COM
munity that builds up cities out of des'
ert wastes and converts tswny sand
dunes into blooming gardens. The
greatness of Southern California is in a
large measure due to fertile soil and
balmy climate, but there is some credit
to be paid to her broad-minded and
clear-headed population. Such men
are the builders of great commemorative
in Europe and America alike. Nothing
is allowed to .daunt their splendid
energy or overthrow their. superb cour-
age. America can be proud OF them
and say like the Roman matron of old,
"These are my Jewels"

TIE MAJESTIC, with her experimental
cargo of California fruit for England, is
now away out on the Atlantic ocean.
The fruit reached New York in excellent
condition, and if the steamers refriger-
ating apparatus ia in good repair, she
ought to land it in excellent condition
in Liverpool next Wednesday morning.
This may all amount to nothing, and it
may mean great deal. If it builds up
any trade at all it viii greatly augment
the value of orchard lands in this state.
Englishmen don't mind paying big
prices for good fruit.

Our worlds Columbian Fair Illustrated
Edition.

The HERALD will issue worlds Columbian
fair edition OF the ILLUSTRATED HERALD. Ar
raneements have been made with the most fin
ished artists in America to insure the greatest
perfection of detail to the illustrations. A
quarter Of q million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. IL will be printed
on heavy book paper, and win be distributed
by uniformed boys during the progress of the
exposition, and the distribution will be under
the dire ction of an intelligent superintendent,
who will see shat each copy shall go where it
win do the most good. 1t will be devoted to
Southern California, every portion of which
will be treated impartially. In a few days &C
credited agents of the HERALD will start out
on the work OF canvassing the people in the
Interest of this mammoth enterprise
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do SO, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or dis
tributed at the worlds fair through the HER
AIDS agency. There Is ne reason why the
greatest boom ever known in the history of
Southern California should not follow in the
wake of the ColMmbian worlds fair. 1t Is the
mission of the HERALD to see that this shall be
the case. The high standard of previous edi-
qsions of the HERALD Is q guarantee that this
supreme effort will be of exceptional merit.
Tine aim will be to make it nonpareil. 1t will
be noted that in this ambitious edition all the
counties in Southern California arefe be in
.cluded We bespeak for this enterprise the
generous patronage which will undoubtedly be
accorded to It, and which in reality viii only
bebread cast upon the waters, which will re-
turn before the lapse ofmany days. Thists the
missionary era In southern California. We
need people, and the HERALD proposes to see
that they shall get here in great numbers and
of the right kind.

CANEEzRY owners in San Francisco are
very much incensed at the new method
of dispesing of fruits by auction, as it
will and does bring them into competi-
ton with the small retailers. However,
that has nothing to do with the fruit
growers. They are not in the world to
make other people rich. They send
their fruit to market and give the buy
ers the benefit of peremptory sale. If
competition increases the price, these
primary producers ought to have the
benefit thereof.

THEY are having great racket over
the question of tin or no tin in the
Temescal mines of San Bernardino,
1t seems that the easiest way to settle
the question would be for the tin COM
panY's agent to publish the receipt Of
the railroad company for ore shipped
away in their cars, together with the
dates of shipment. That would show,
beyond any doubt, whether they have
any tin there or only hole in the
ground. For the good of all concerned,
it might be good idea for somebody to
tell the truth.

THE PFAESTER MYSTERY.

An Old Case of Peculiar Disappearance
Revived.
The detectives of the police depart
ment are working on the disappearance
OF John Ulrich Pfaester, who has been
missing from No. 941 Boston street since
1890. He was a quiet old man of "a
years, of some means, and shortly before
dropping out of sight had drawn $4,000
out of bank. The details of the case
were published in the HERALD at the
time. After the old mans disappear
ance Public Administrator Field took
hold of the case and found that the cash
deposit had been drawn from the bank.
All the documents that the public
administrator could get were three GER
tifcates of title--one to the house and
lot and the others to two vacant lots.
The properties are in the A. G. Shafer
subdivision of block 6, lot s, block SO,
Hancock survey; lot 8, block 7, Park
tract; lot 10, Dunnigan tract.
The case was taken up at first by the
police, but gradually worked out because
there was no clue discovered to
lead to a solution of the mystery.
The officers, however, failed to find any
evidence whatever.that Pfaester had left
the city, and of late they have again
gone to work on the case, because there
have been some wild rumors of foul
play. Before Pfaester disappeared, he
roomed at the number mentioned with
F. Goetler, barber, who, since the dis
appearance, has acted as the agent of
Pfaester in the control of the realty de-
scribed above. Goetler says that
Pfaester left town without any instruc-
tions, except verbal ones, about the
property.
1t seems that police detectives have
lately been digging in Goetler's back
yard, but found nothing.

Coast Notes.

The weeds on the monitor Monad-
mock, which vessel has been lying for a
year near the ferry-gate entrance to the
Mare Island dock yard, were found to be
from three to twelve inches in length,
and it required considerable labor to get
them off the hull.
The passengers on the Redlands mo-
tor, this morning, were treated to an
exciting race between q 2-month's old
colt and the motor, near San Bernar-
dino. The colt, striking two-minute
gait, managed to hold the motor level
from Tippecanoe to the schoolhouse on
