WILL TEST BELLAMY's IDEA.
Cooperative Colony to Establish a Tow
On the Cherokee Strip.


On the Cherokee Strip.
Topeka, Sept 3.-The disciples of
Bellamy have organized a large colony
in southern Kansas, and were granted a
charter by the secretary of state for
their cooperative town company, which
is to be located somewhere in the Chero-
kee Strip on the. day of opening. There
are several hundred in the party. Sew
eral dozen apartment houses have al
ready been built in sections. so that when
moved in wagons they can be easily put
together. One great kitchen will cook
all the food for the entire town, while
the people will all dine from the same
table. The capital of the people of the
town will all be put in one common
fund and the BelIamy idea as outlined
in Looking Backward will be carried
out to the letter. They are all Populists
and believe the co operative scheme will
faa1ly become the custom of the country.
They say they will not sell town prop
erty to anybody who does not conform
to their ideas.

DENVER, Sept. DIR. T. Thatcher
Graves, the convicted poisoner of Mrs.
Josephine Barnaby, committed suicide
in his cell at the county jail Sunday
morning, presumably by taking poison.
On his person was found the following
letter:
DENVER, Aug. %.
To the Coroner of Denver:
DEAR SIR-Please do not hold an autopsy
on my remains. The cause of death may
be rendered as follows: Died from perse-
cution. Worn out. Exhausted.
Yours respectfully,
T. THATCHER GRAVES, NJ. D.
The corpse was quite cold when
found. No direct evidence of suicide
was visible, but the above letter tells
the story. There were also letters to
Mrs. Graves, wife of the doctor, to
Tailor Crews and one addressed to the
public. That the prisoner had long con-
templated taking his own life is evident
from the date of the Ietter-Aug. last.
The letter addressed to Jailor Crews
read as follows:

FOOD FISHES.

The Fishing Industry of the Pacific
Coast.
The fishing industry of this coast is
assuming considerable proportions and
is quite factor in the food supply. AS
there is little or no expectation of fish
from this coast, excepting dried 6sh and
shell fish to China, which amounts to
considerable, the catch is quite sufficient
to supply the markets of the state.
The food fish OF the California coast
consists of about 80 different varieties.
to wit: In the mackerel family there
are the mackerel, Spanish mackerel.
horse mackerel, bonito, albicore and
skip-jack. Then there is the barracuda
or sea pickerel, splendid table fish, and
The sea bass, fine fish, that varies in
weight from Is to 20 pounds.
The following are extra fine fisk and
quite plentiful: Rock bass, rock-cod,
blue-cod, blue perch, green perch.
grouper, white fish, sheep's head
crokers, yellowfn, yellowtail and whit
ing.
OF the small varities of fish there are
the smelt, herring, perch, sardine and
pompano, together with quite number
of other varieties. The pompano is the
rarest and most expensive fish caught
on this coast, the market price being 81
per pound, and the fish Is sold readily
at that price as soon as put upon the
market.
Special attention is lately being di-
reeted to the sardine Of this coast. of
which an almost inexhaustible supply is
to be found about the islands adjacent
to the coast, principally at Catalina and
Clemente islands. They are far supe.
rior to the eastern sardine, and fully
equal to the French sardine, providing
they are put up with the same care as
the French sardine. The outlook is
favorable to great sardine industry on
this coast. Only few years will elapse
before the expectation of salt macks ksrel
and canned sardines from the state of
California will assume vast proportions,
and be an added source of wealth to our
state.
The jew fish is very fine fish, and
very salable. 1t weighs from 70 to 900
pounds. The conger eel is very plenti
tul, and quite delicacy, but for some
reason the sale is somewhat limited.
OF shellfsh we have the abalone,
lobster, crawfish, CLAIMS, cookies, seal
lops, crabs and oysters.
The principal fishing stations south of
San Francisco are, in the order of their
Importance, San Pedro, Wilmington,
San Diego, Santa Barbara, Monterey,
Port Hartford, Santa Monica, Redondo
and Long Beach.
In San Pedro and Wilmington there
are 90 men and As boats engaged in the
fishing industry. The amount of money
invested in fishing vessels and fishing
gear is at a conservative estimate,
about $45, 900. The daily catch of fish
in San Pedro and Wilmington averages
4500 pounds, or 1,350,000 pounds per
year. The cost to consumers is. in
round figures, $3.50 per day, or $145. 900
per year. The above estimates are in
round figures, because the exact statis-
tics cannot be obtained, but the writer
is satisfied that they fall somewhat
below exact figures.

A PERPETUAL HARVEST.
The Production of the Twelve

The Production of the Twelve

vegetables.
June-Cherries, plums, prunee, april
cots, peaches, currants, loquats, guavas,
strawberries, blackberries, raspberries
and vegetables.
July-Figs, nectarines, grapes, apples,
cherries, plums, prunes. apricots,

November and December follow with re-
spectively 15 and 13. Nowhere else in
the United States can such fruitage as
this, or an approach to it, be shown in
the winter time. In the great north

These facts and figures are sifted with
great care from the bank commissioners
report, and may be considered as ac-
curate as any figures that can be
made.
These figures point to Southern Cali
fornia as rich--very rich and rapidly
developing section of our country. They
demonstrate the fact that this section of
the state is possessed of rare natural ad-
vantages which are being rapidly util-
ized and developed by the people, who
are seeking homes here by the thou
sands to escape the rigors of severe
eastern climate, and to enjoy the salu.
brity of a health giving climate that has
no superior, at least no equal, in the civ
ilized world.
The facts and figures here given are
solid in every respect. They are facts
and figures that the cool, calcula atipg
business man, who makes his money on
his Judgment, can sit down and carefully
ponder and study, and the more he pom
ders and studies the more he
will be convinced that the facts herein
set forth cannot be controverted or set
aside.
There ie no use for any man to argue
against the wealth and growth of South
ern California. While some men are
arguing against the country because of

very wormy chestnut, against it's occa-
aional frosts and bad winds, against its

The population of the southern coun-

The population of the state in 1890

banks of the state on July /, 1892, on
the basis OF that population was $l65
per capita. The deposits of Southern
California on the same basis was 500 per
capita, and the deposits of Northern and
Central California, outside of San Fran
cisco, was $65 per capita. In the city Of
San Francisco the deposits were $40
per capita, but this represents money
from all parts of the state, and not from
that city alone.
In San Bernardino county the de-
posits were $124 per capita, which are
the largest deposits according to popu.

Mrs. Webb was the recipient of as hearty
