WHO HAS MORE MONEY.
Is Louis Phillips the Richest Man in the
County?

rs Louis Phillips the Richest Man in the
County?
"Whom do 1 consider the richest man
in Los Angeles county ?" queried the
wealthy fnancier and private banker,
Harris Newmark, in answer to ques-
ton by Pomona Progress" reporter
in Los Angeles, the other day. "Why
there is no doubt that the richest prop
erty holder in the county today is Louis
Phillips, who lives go quietly out at
Spadra near Pomona. The Hellman es-
tate is generally thought to be the great
est in resources in the county, but
Louis Phillips has for several years had
the largest receipts of any business man
in this part of the State. No one would
ever suspect that Mr.. Phillips received
such royal income as he has.
Several gentlemen in Los Angeles who
have the means of knowing, say that
Mr.. Phillips is worth not dollar less
than $3,000,000. He has rentals in the
city that bring him over $4,000 month,
rentals in Pomona and that locality that
are worth $500 month, and from his
ranch, his wool, honey, wheat and hay,
he gets from 500, 900 to $50 900 annually !,
while his interest rolls up to $25, 900 or
$4,000 more. No one really knows his
income, but it is thought, by careful
bankers here, that Louis Phillips gets
from $130, 900 to $3.50, 900 every year from
his property that is scattered all over
Los Angeles county. He is extremely
fortunate in his selection of real estate,
and every month adds more to the value
of his lands and buildings."- ."-[Pomona

Trade Lang uishing, and No Prospects
for It's Improvements.
LONDON, sept. 20.-At the annual
meeting of the chamber of commerce,
today, Sir Albert Rollit, president, said
he was not able to congratulate the
country upon its trade prospects. The
coal, iron, and steel trades were dull /;
the textile industries harrassed by the
tariff, and perplexed by economic, mon
etary and labor problems. Sheffield and
other manufacturing centers complained
of the destruction OF all branches of busi-
ness by the tariff. Shipbuilding was
little more than remembrance. The
official returns, Sir Albert added, showed
that there was little likelihood OF bet
terment in the present conditions. The
volume of England's trade was declin-
ing. A resolution was adopted in favor
of universal free trade between the col
onies and Great Britain.

CAPTAIN MERRY. of San Fran,

CAPTAIN MERRY, of San Francisco, is
now in this city. His principal mission
here seems to be to present to our busi-
ness men and citizens generally the
scheme by which the Nicaragua canal
company are launching cut their great
enterprise upon the public. Captain
Merry is justly enthusiastic on his sub
ject, and through his energy and persis-
tence he has done much to wake up the
fossil merchants OF San Francisco to the
value to their city of the projected canal.
As we understand Captain Merry's posi-
tion, he says that his company is not SO
particular about the amount OF stock
that shall be subscribed to the enter.

good will Of the people and their active

the attractions Southern California pos
sesses. He has taken measures to thor
oughly advertise the affair through the
east and west, and the result will be
that the influx of tourists this year will
begin couple of months earlier than
usual. While San Diego will be the OBJ
jective point of the newcomers, they
will have to see Los Angeles, and seeing
her in all the autumn wealth of her semi
tropic charms, they cannot pass her by.
Sowe can from practical as well as sem
timental point OF view, heartily express
the wish that the celebration will be as
successful as is pictured in the widest
dreams of the hungriest San Diegan
who counts upon the event to replenish
his resources.

MAJOR MoKINLEY's boom as a protec

be free from the dangers of collapse. Nc
sooner does he cite the tin-plate boom
as evidence OF his pet theory, at Elwood,

stove factory failure at Evansville, in
the same state, situated right on the
bank of the Ohio river, and enjoying all
the benefits that accrue from cheap

JOHN FRITZE'S MISHAPS.

Ribs Broken.

He Has His Spine Dislocated and Several
Ribs Broken.
Yesterday morning John Fritzs, a San
Diegan. was at Yuma. A Southern
Pacific freight train started from that
place for Los Angeles, and he thought
he would save time and money by get
ting on board of it, and made the at
tempt while the cars were in motion.
Last night Mr.. Fritze arrived in this
city on Southern Pacific passenger
train, with dislocated spine and sew
eral broken ribs. He was taken to the
police station and placed in the receiv-
ing hospital for medical treatment. 1t
is expected that he will be sent on to
San Diego today.
The moral of this little story is that
it is apt to be cheaper for a traveller to
buy first-class, unlimited ticket, to-
gether with section in one of Mr..
Pullman's lodging houses on wheels,
than to attempt to get railroad ride for
nothing.

PROF. WoRRA11's SUGGESTION.

The letter as printed Tuesday from
Prof. Henry Worrall to Hon. 7. b.
Mills, in relation to the New Mexico
exhibit Is one that the Territorial
Board of the Worlds Fair should
pay some attention to. An exhibit
on the lines he lays out, topograph-
ical map of about twenty feet square
on a stand eighteen inches to two
feet high, with an exaggerated verti-
cal scale, painted, with some one to
preside over it and point out the
different Localities and advantages of
each locality, and another map with
model of the methods of irrigation
showing canals, laterals, &c, with
running water, these alone would
make an exhibit that would COM
mand the attention of everyone who
beheld it. An exhibit of this kind
would be practical and of practical
advantage to us.
Many persons here want an exhibit
of our old relics, curiosities, DC,
but what advantage or benefit will
be derived from such an exhibit?
The curiosity hunters are not the
class of people who are likely to
come here and invest money and help
develop the territory, but what we
do want is people who are looking
for a good country to invest in and
one where they can find health and
business and these are the ones who
would appreciate Prof. WorraPs ex-
hibit.
As to the professor, he is one of
the most original and unique men
who ever made an exhibit. The
Kansas building at the Philadelphia
exposition was entirely under his
charge and was the most successful
of that exposition and he has also
been very successful in other exposi-
tions and if the New Mexico board
should engage Prof Worrall they
will secure n man who can do the
territory more good for the money
expended than anyone else they can
secure.

suit of increasing attention to the

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes an elaborate state
ment regarding the wool tariff. He
claims that the Mckinley bill can
not be charged with the decline in
wool values, that wool prices in this
country would be lower than they
are but for the present duty on for
eign woods. He also goes on to say
that with free woods the manufac-
turers could not compete in foreign
markets with their goods, for there
would still be against them the diff
ference in cost of labor, interest, etc.
They would be no better off than
under a wisely adjusted protective
duty on both wool and goods; and
under free wool the country would
before many years suffer the loss of
thelarge and to this country very val
liable industry of sheep raising, and
become absolutely dependent on for
eign countries, for mutton, in fact, as
we'll as for wool.
