EVERYTHING READY FOR THE
FAIR OPENING.
Interesting Notes About the Exhibits
Which Are Ready-Celebration by the
Pioneers Club.

Special Correspondence to the HERALD
COTTON, Feb. 22d.
The exhibits are nearly all in place.
The finishing touches are now being
put on in all the departments.
Riverside occupies large space in
the front of the main exhibition room,
and is making display worthy of her.
Oranges, lemons, oil paintings, flowers
and evergreens are mingled artlstically.
The Temescal tin mines have large
cob work of pig tin surmounted by a
photograph of the presidential train at
South Riverside.
Redlands shows a fine collection of
oranges and lemons. The tables are
tastily arranged.
f. M. and Geo. Hubbard have two
cases of fine peanuts grown on their
ranch on the terrace. In one case is a
plantation cabin and darkies in the
door, while in the yard are chickens,
pigs, dogs, ducks and pickanninies play
ing. The whole form a comical and
'lifelike scene.
w. L. Hubbard's display of marble
and onyx is very fine, consisting of mon
uments, columns, urns, vases, picture
frames, and specimens from Cotton,
Victor and Arizona.
J. E. Matot has a case of Victor,
Arizona and Cotton marble and onyx
specimens and table tops. For small
display it is hard to beat.
A fine Farrand & Vatey cabinet organ
will be given by Los Angeles firm to
the first couple who will be married in
the pavilion during the fair. This is a
bona fide offer.
Morris & Wilsey, the enterprising Ar
rowhead nursery firm, are on hand with
fine collection of flowers, ferns, shrubs,
palms and evergreens.
Ontario has done herself proud, and
will push the other sections hard for the
first prize. Her oranges and lemons
are as fine as any at the fair.
The art department, under the able
management of Mrs. Sumner Wright,
is rich display of oil paintings, cray
ons, sketches, etc., while in an alcove
fancy work Of all kinds form an attract
i've corner that will be crowded by the
lovers of the beautiful.
Mrs. F. f. Oster is in charge of the
flower booth.
The booth devoted to fruit in glass
jars is as tempting display as can be
found in the pavilion.
A table covered with honey is attract
ing much attention.
Over 100 of the pioneers, Old Boys
Hunting club and the Blue and Gray
held their annual reunion at the city
hall today. George Lord, sr., 92 years
old, was president of the day. At l 80
p. m. they had banquet at the Palace
hotel. At 8 p. m, they adjourned to the
hall, where toasts and responses were
next in order. John Brown, jr., was
toastmaster. The following were given :
The City of Cotton, response by w. l..
Burton; Pioneers, response, w. F. Hol-
comb; The Press, by Will @. Baily, edi-
tor Cotton News; The District Fair, by
| l.. M. Holt. The entertainment wound
up with an old-iashioned dance.
r. w. A. Choate has taken a flying trip
to the City of the Angels.

THERE can no longer be any doubt as
to what the wishes of the Democracy
of the state of New York are as to the
choice of candidate for president. The
Democrats of the Empire state yester-
day, amid unbounded enthusiasm,
adopted ringing platform and instruct
ed the delegates to Chicago to vote as
unit for David Bennett Hill. William
r. Grace was present, with his associ-
ates, representing the Cooper Union
high kickers, and presented their pro-
test. On motion of W. Bourke Cochran
it was unanimously laid on the table.
The Democrats of the United States are
now face to face with wishes of their
brethren of the greatest state OF the
union--a state essential to Democratic
success. If they desire that New
Yorker should head their ticket COM
mon sense, precedent and the instinct
of victory. all imperatively demand that
they should select the standard bearer
the people of the Empire state prefer
with such unexampled Democratic en-
fhusiasm and spontaneity.

CITY MAKING-REDLANDS.

By authentic chronicles the cele-
brated Los Angeles boom burst in the
season of 1SS7-sS. That is to say, it was
running at fioodtide in October, 1887,
and at perceptibly low ebb in January,
1888. Three months marked phenom-
email change.
The same was measurably the case all
over Southern California, with the nota-
BILE exception OF certain portions of San
Bernardino county, whose enterprising
citizens had developed, and were devel-
oping. water. Redlands was dis
tinctive development after the collapse
OF the boom. The land upon which the
city stands could have been bought for
SIS an acre in October, 1887. 1t is
doubtful whether a single acre of it
could be purchased now within the city
limits for less than thousand dollars.
This, of course, looks like an extrava-
CANT statement to those who are not
familiar with the wonderful history of
the place. 800
Redlands is an outgrowth of the Bear
Valley dam. With only scattered resi-
dent here and there in probably
not fifty all told-it now boasts of a
population of over 5000 souls. One
third of the value of the buildings in
the nascent city have been erected since
March of last year.
1t is today the prettiest city in Cali
fornia, barring none. How 30 much and
such elaborate eornamentationc could have
been accomplished within the period of
four years passes belief. The writer
Monday week ago drove over Red
lands and up to Smiley Heights, the lat
ter lovely eminence overlooking the
nascent city. AS matter of prosaic
fact, he found nineteen houses in course
of erection, the least price of any one
of which will be $4,000. The class of
population rushing in there is of the
most eclectic type. A large portion of it
is from the eastern states, notably from
New England. Hartford, Connecticut,
is largely represented at Redlands.
The citizens OF Redlands claim that
they have the true citrus belt Of South
ern California, and that they are in the
frostless zone. There can be no aues-
ton but that the fruit from that section
is of specially valuable kind. The
late cold spell failed to injure any of the
nursery stock. The trees make pos
itively lightning growth, and reach the
remunerative point at very early age.
In addition to possessing multitudes
of handsome houses, the young citrus
plantations of Redlands are elements of
marked scenic beauty.
The public institutions of the young
city are of the most modern and costly
kind. Public spirit runs high in Red
lands. The other day the citizens voted
bonds to carry out scheme of public
improvement. The hotels are handsome,
and are crowded from turret to founda-
ton stone, beds being made on the
floor, SO great is the throng Of incomers.
The revenues from the orange groves
and other orchards is large now and will
Los Angeles herald., 1892-02-23

constantly increase. The transportation
facilities of the place are good now and
will doubtless be added to. They en-
brace the motor line to San Bernardino
and the full facilities of the kite-shaped
track of the Southern California rail-
way. All the indications point to Red
lands having 10000 inhabitants DUR
ing the course of five or six years. In
addition to the hotel proper, the Terra
Gina hotel, placed on a splendid knoll,
is without superior in its appoint
ments in Southern California.
When it comes to Smiley Heights one
of the most unique and picturesque
spectacles in America is presented to
the eyes of the wondering tourist. The
Smiley brothers are the well-known ho-
tel men of the Catskills and the lakes,
in New York. They spend their sum-
mers east and their winters at Redlands.
They have taken fifty acres of
land on the heights looking down
on Redlands and on the San Timoteo
canon, and have created scene OF
beauty that recalls the Arabian Nights
or the vale of Cashmere. They have
planted the slopes in to the orange and
in every variety OF ornamental tree,
plant and flower known to sub-tropical
climate. Their road-making is marvel
OF the landscape artists genius. Its
complexity recalls Ariadne's web, the
we'll built thoroughfares, securely
banked by solid masonry, winding in
and out in an interminable but delight
full intricacy. They have spent hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
ornamentation OF their domain. 1t
would be good thing for the Los Ange-
les board of supervisors to send some of
our halting and inefficient road over
seers up to Smiley Heights to
learn the art of road making.
Enormous reservoirs on the crest
of the hill, supplied from Bear
valley, guarantee an exhaustless supply
of water for the plant life which has
started out so promisingly on Smiley
Heights.
The view from this eminence may
fairly be called Incompatible. Its mount
ain environment is of the first dignity,
including Old Grayback, which rises to
height of $4,000 feet, and many other
noble ranges. Directley opposite Smiley
Heights the Santa Ana river rushes
from its tremendous watershed. I'M
mediately beneath Redlands glows with
a beauty incredible for It's years. The
cities of San Bernardino, Cotton,
and other points figure in the distance.
The view from this noble mount is as
distinctive in its way as that of the
Yosemite from Inspiration Point. In
fact, one is obliged to go to the Yosemite
to parallel it.
Anglefios would do well to go up to
Redlands and Smiley Heights to learn
what enterprise, sagacity and perse-
verance can accomplish in an incredibly
brief space of time. Such visit would
doubtless act as a stimulus to our own
tagging energy. They would come back
realizing the force of the injunction,
"Go thou and do likewise"

The Hon. RICHARD CROKER, who is
generally regarded as the successor of
the late John Kelly in the leadership Of
Tammany Hall, has an article in the
February number of the North Ameri-
can Review on that ancient and puissant
organization, named after the Indian
chief whom Cooper has made immortal.
1t should be read by men Of all PARTIES
by Democrats, who know the splendid
work it has done for good government,
and by those who have listened to the
incessant howls against that noble or
der. Mr.. Croker attempts no defense of
Tammany. In truth, it needs none. 1t
has had black sheep in it's folds-as, in
deed, what order has not-butit has cut
them OFF and cast them behind. No
organization, temporal or spiritual, has
been impeccable. Mr.. Croker claims
that Tammany has given the city Of
New York a splendid, efficient and

Curious Legal Tender.

Almost every age and tribe, as well as
every epoch, has had its peculiar cur
rency or medium of barter and exchange.
Not only gold, silver, copper, brass, iron,
lead and paper, but such out of the way
articles as bits of glass, shells, beads,
stones, soap, bits of various colored cloth
and numerous other objects, some Of
them absolutely valueless to our way of
looking at the matter.
The Burmese, Karens, Hangese and
Ghans have no coined money, lead and
silver in bullion being the ordinary ten
der in trade, weight and purity being the
standard of value. For long time salt
was the ordinary money of the Abyssin-
ians.
Dried fish has long been, and is even
today to a certain extent, the legal ten
der of Iceland. Shad scales are also the
medium of exchange in many of the

DIscoRD IN THE REPUBLICAN CAMP.

Yesterday we noted the fact that the
Wasp has passed into the control and
ownership of Dan Burns, the all-round
Republican athlete and dictator, as one
may say. The publication is to be
nominally under the management Of
Mr.. I. E. Flynn, newspaper man of
some note, formerly connected with the
hebdomadal, under the Burns auspices,
the Burns ear-marks are very plainly
to be discerned. 1t contains a carefully
limned counterfeit presentment" of
the late secretary of state and architect
of Governor Markham's gubernatorial
fortunes. That the redoubtable colonel
had an object in buying the Wasp those
who know him do not for moment
doubt. He has entered the field of
journalism for the purpose of adorning
his belt with the scalp of Mr.. M. H. De
Young, an aspirant for the seat in the
United States senate now filled by Sem
ator G. N. FELTON,. The Chronicle has
not been gracious to Dan, and the war
pigments of Markham's next friend are
of portentous brilliancy accordingly.
The war is opened in the following
sprightly style:
Mr.. Burns was delegate to the last
Republican state convention held at
Sacramento, and was generally recog-
nized as the director of the campaign.
He made a strong fight for Governor
Markham and was rewarded to the ex-
tent of an appointment on the govern
or's staff and as police commissioners
for this city. Those acquainted with
the character of Mr.. Burns are con-
vinced that he is not a politician for
personal emolument. Now the pro-
prietor of the morning paper in which
| these attacks on Colonel Burns ap-
peared, has designs on one of the
senatorial chairs in Washington allotted
to the representatives of this state. he
seems to be confident of being elected If
he can succeed in breaking the power of
| Colonel Burns and j. N. E. Wilson.
This is a hard task, for the two gentle
men would oppose the newspaper
proprietor all their lives and sacrifice
their own fortunes rather than have
California disgraced in Washington.
They showed opposition to the news
paper man all through the last cam
paign, and their promise to keep it up
during the coming one has riled this
would-be journalist and senator. This
accounts for the vicious articles pub
lished in his paper, the headline of one
being, "Dan Burns in JAIL" though the
article itself did not show that the
colonel was in Jail in either Mexico or
San Francisco at that or any other time.
A paid opinion from Robert G. Ingersoll
in regard to the. title to the mine has
also appeared in this morning paper,
under the guise of news article.
tits only too evident that while it love-
ly for political brethren to dwell together
in amity, such beatifc state OF things
will scarcely be witnessed in the sena-
torial contest on the assembly OF the
legislature next year. We are afraid
that our gifted confrere, Mr.. De Young
as United States senator is in the cate
CORY of the Irishman who was dis
charged before he was hired.

THE ease with which millions come
trippingly from the tongues of some
people in Los Angeles is calculated to
appall people who have been used to
modest figures and economical notions.
When it comes to the water system of
Los Angeles there is tendency to talk
of s., ,4O0.0 900 and 100000 as if they
were so many hundreds of thousands.
The good citizens of the City of the
Angels will do great deal of serious
thinking before they will approve of any
precipitate departure ON the water
problem. They will look before they
lean.

Saturday night, as young boy named
Brown was driving briskly down Cajon
street, his horse came in contact with
another one-horse vehicle, which was
trying to pass on the same ground. The

the breast of the Brown horse, which
caused its immediate death. Brown has
failed 80 far to learn the name of the
driver of the other rig as he made good
his escape before being recognized. This

IT IS said that the Union league of
Los Angeles designs erecting a club
house on considerable scale of expense.
This would seem to be work of super
erogation in view OF the fact that the
county, in the shape of the new court
house, has presented that body with a
superb building. What more do they
want? Probably the earth is the limit

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. Grismer and Miss Davies are so
well known here that it is superhuous
to write OF their acting.
Yesterday they played The Burglar at
the matinee and Fernclif in the even
ing.
Among the support is Mrs. Sara
Stevens, who in Ferncliff portrayed an
old Irish nurse excellently. Mr.. Scott
Cooper as Dad Hewins and Miss Della
Macquaid as Hattie, in the same play,
do very finished, creditable work, while
the rest of the support are like fairly
clever amateurs.
In both Ferncliff and The Burglar
Miss Davies has parts which she plays
we'll, roles full of suffering and tears,
and mistakes which it takes to the last
act to remedy; but in The Beacon
Lights, which is billed for Thursday, if
memory serves right, she has quite a
jolly role and plays it delightfully."-.
Mr.. Grismer is always conscientious
and earnest, and plays with the success
which he has always achieved.
Tonight, Ferncliff.

ONE of the peculiarities of farming in
