POMONA, July LA good story is going
the rounds about the formation OF the
Pomona Republican club, the other eve
ming. The Republicans had gone there
with blood in their eye, for they wanted
Blaine club, or wanted to die. 1t was
to be Blaine club, Blaine or die, no
Harrison enthusiasm could be aroused,
and on no two things could they agree,
and therefore no club for Benjamin Har-
rison.
Rev. Frazee, an old-time friend of our
towneman, I. D. Holiday and pioneer
of this country, is in the city. Mr.. Fra
zee visited Mr.. Holiday some nineteen

Last week the fruit-growers' union,
which was formed here a couple of
weeks ago, sold its entire crop of april
cots to Sherman, Mari & Higgins of
Chicago for $40 per ton. This firm will
have it's drying grounds on the five-acre
tract on the corner of Crow and Towne
avenues and George G. Coryell, who had
charge of the Haight Fruit company's
drying operations last year, will super
intend the work. The fruit growers
have goud reason to be satisfied with the
results of their organization. They have
sold their apricots for good price, con-
sidering the season, and are having
much better offers for other deciduous
crops than were talked of few weeks
ago.
Apricot picking and drying will be in
full blaet in about two weeks. The warm
weather of the past week has hastened
the ripening of the fruit.

CANADIAN CANAL TOLLS.
The President Sends = Second Messai
ON the Subject to the Senate.

The President Sends = Second Message
ON the Subject TO the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The president
today sent to the senate message upon
the subject OF Canadian canal tolls, to-
gether with communication from
Herbert, acting representative of the
British government, and a memoran-
dunn prepared by Adee, second assist
ant secretary of state, upon the same
subject. The president says:
The position taken by this govern
ment that the canal tolls and regula-
tions are in violation OF our treaty with
Great Britain is not shaken, but rather
orfirmed. There can be no doubt that
serious discrimination against our
citizens and commerce exists, and
doubt that the discrimination Is not
an incident, but the purpose of the Can
adian regulations. 1t does not seem to
me that this is case in which we
should yield to the suggestion for further
concessions ON the part of the United
States with view of securing treaty
rights for which consideration has al
ready been given"
Herbert in his note expresses the de-
dire of the Dominion to maintain
friendly relations with this government,
and says they are willing to meet its
views, so far as is consistent with the
Dominion's position and the interests of
its people. In view of the came ar
rangements have been instituted accord
ing the same treatment to citizens of
the United States regarding the naviga-
tion of the Welland and st. Lawrence
canals; the imposition of tolls and the
granting of rebates thereon, as is given
to the subjects of her majesty without
regard to ports of transshipment or ex-
port, and hoping that the United
States will continue to deal in
like manner with the subjects
of her BIitanic majecty in the use
the existing Sault Ste. Marie canal, and
that the provisions of the article in the
treaty OF Washington granting carrying
powers to vessels belonging to subjects
of her Britannia majesty, as described in
this article, be restored.
Adee's statement reviews in detail the
statements and opinions of the govern
ment. The rebate of canal tolls, he
says, is merely an instrument to favor
export trade from Canadian ports. Con-
Guiding, Adee holds that the Canadian
reply, as whole, tails to meet the just
complaints of the United States.

SAN BERNARDINo, July 1.-The board
of supervisors OF San Bernardino county
met today and authorized the employ
ment of deputy in the Office of the tax
collector and to be paid out of the coun-
ty funds. Attorney Stephenson ap-
peared and made an objection to the
order Of the board, and shortly there
after appeared before the superior court,
sitting in banc, and asked for writ of
certiorari against the board, on the
ground that they had acted without
Jurisdiction. The court continued the
matter until July 9th. This is test
case to. settle the power of boards of
supervisors to employ help in county

Thousands OF Acres Burned Over on the
Haggin Grant.
SACRAMENTO, July Fire broke out
on the Haggin grant, mile south OF
Antelope, at IL O'Clock this morning.
The fire seemed to start in two places,
and, favored by a high north wind,
spread with the speed of a racehorse.
Fields of grass and growing grain and
stacks of hay were swept away. The
losers are John Lsuppe, Thomas Cole
man, j. f. Gardner and William Berry.
The latter lost his house and barn. The
fire swept over territory of 5000 acres,
and the loss will probably aggregate
$4,000. 1t is believed the FIRE started
from sparks from an engine.
A field fire is raging between Mayhews
and Routiers, and fields of wheat and
barley are being consumed. X
