They Adopt the Details of Management
for Thcir Association.
The representatives of the various dis
trict boards of exchange of Southern
California held an important executive
meeting at the chamber of commerce
yesterday morning and afternoon. The
meeting was a continuance of similar
gathering held in Riverside one week
ago. At that time q special committee
WAS appointed to draw up the details OF
the plan of management for the boards
of exchange to follow.
That committee presented it's report
yesterday. 1t sets forth in detail the
general plan as layed down in certain
articles that we're adopted by the orange
growers meeting in this city several
months ago.
The meeting was perfectly harmo-
nious and the report was adopted unan.
imously.
Representatives of the press were ex.
cluded snd the exact nature of the de-
tails as presented in the report was not
divulged, for obvious reasons, by any
OF those present.
Mr.. II. B. Chamblin of Riqerside was
on the committee. He has been most
instrumental in perfecting the presen
organization among the orange growers,
and has probably given the subject
more study than any other person in
this section. He wae seen by HERALD
represen tative yesterday evening in re-
gard to the adoption of the report. MIR.
Chambl;n stated that the association
will begin at once to ship fruit under
the laws as eet down in the report in
time for the Christmas markets.

Work has been rapidly progressing during
the past week on the interior fittings of the
handsome jewelry establishment of M. German,
ON South Spring street between Third and
Fourth, to which reference has already been
made in these columns. The artistic counters,
showcases AMI furnishings are in place, with a
large stock OF liable goods, including come
tasteful engra Vings. elegantly framed. IL is
evident, from what may be seen already, that
this is de tined to be one of the show places OF
Los Angeles.
Mr.. German has exercised good judgment in
the selection of a location for his business 1t
is convenient of access to the best residence
section OF the city, and just little south OF the
business center, which is moving steadily III
this direction, from day TO day.
1t should be understood by the public that
tbisis some ethi Gg more than an ordinary jeWery
store. As already stated, over thirty persons
will be employed. Besides the most extensive
ano comp etc stock of first class jewelry 10 BE-
found ON the Pacific Coast, outside OF San

THE SIERRA NRvADAS.

The greatest obstacle in the way OF
San Frsncisco's greatness is the great
Sierra Nevada range of mountains. Like
a mighty wall nearly two miles in height
this range rises up as if to cut off the
bay of San Francisco from direct COM
munication with the east. This lofty
barrier stretches from the Columbia
at the north almost to Los Angeles in
the south, distance of something less
than a thousand miles. 1t ia actually
insuperable for communication nearly
all the year, except at a few points, and
even these can only be surmounted with
the greatest difficulty. Building rail.
road over it at such point actually in
volved the construction OF forty or fifty
miles of snowsheds, through which tne
road had to run. This was new feature
in railroad engineering, and it is safe to
cay the work would never have been un-
dertaken but for the backing of power
ful government, rendered under the i'm
pulse of gigantic war; much like that
which impelled the great Napoleon to
cross the Alps. These long snow houses
were expensive to build in the first
place, and are costly to maintain. They
are, moreover, positively dangerous, be-
ing liable to be broken down by snow
slides at any time, and being fearfully
subject to confiagrations.
From this latter cause trains of pas
sengers are not unfrequently delayed on
the mountain eide for days, if not for
weeks. For many years communication
overland was confined to this route
from sheer necessity. There was then
no line opened by way of Oregon, and
and none south by way of Los Angeles.
The route by the snowsheds was the
only resort.
This huge mountain barrier must al
ways remain a great obstacle to COM
meIclal intercourse between San Frau
cisco and the Atlantic seaboard. This
is unfortunate, since the extra cost of
hauling freight and passenger trains
over it ia very considerable item in
railroading. 1t is equivalent to very
much longer haul over level, or COM
paratively level road. and the distance
overland is practically very much in
creased thereby. How much this in.
crease actually amounts to it will re-
quire engineering skill to determine,
but it ie thought that the distance
between San Francisco and Salt Lake is
practically doubled by this tremendous
lift. This remark has reference only to
the ordinary expenses of operating the
road, and not to that other extraordi-
nary cost OF keeping up the road and
the snow houses.
The nature of this obstacle is such
that it can never be obviated long
tunnel might reduce the difficulty some
what, but that ia an expedient not likely
to be resorted to, on account of the ex-
pense and trouble attending such an en-.
terprise.
So lar as communication between San
Francisco and the country Immediately
beyond the Sierras is concerned, the
Bnowshed route will continue to be used,
but when it comes to landing freight on
this coast, to be transported across the
continent. sonic more favorable place for
The herald., 1893-11-25

the business will be sought. Such a
place is Port Los Angeles, than which
there is no more favorable locality on
the western coast OF this continent, north
of Central America. for such transship-
ment. There is no mountain barrier
back of Los Angeles. and the distance
across to the Atlantic waters is vastly
less there than by any other route on
our own soil, nor is that distance in
creased in effect by heavy gradients of
the railroad. The route is short and
an easy one, and cannot long remain
neglected.

THERE are more projects maturing in
the southern counties today that have
for their object the development of the
resources of this section than at any
time in it's history. They comprise
railways. irrigating canals, mines Of the
precious and base metals and hun
dred other enterprises. One of the
latest undertakings is Il pickle factory
Few people have any idea of the extent
to which this industry has grown in the
east. One celebrated institution east of
the Rocky mountains ships fifteen hun
dred carloads of pickles a year. The
facilities for making the best wine vim
egar in the world exist in unlimited
measure in Los Angeles, and good vine

THERE was an interruption yesterday
TO the programme of the capture of
trains by the tramp fraternity. 1t ap-
pears that railway contractor in Ari-
zona telegraphed to an employment
agency in Los Angeles that he could use
forty mep, and suggested that they could
beat their way out to the ''sun-kissed
land" They made their way out to
Cotton on the Southern Pacific and
walked to a station on the South
ern California road, where they
camped to await the arrival of a
train on that road. They were inter-
viewed by Sheriff Booth and dissuaded
from taking the train. The next day
they walked up to Cajon station on the
same road and held train. Sheriff
Booth and Detective Burns, with a
posse arrived, however. and captured
thirty of them. taking them into San
Bernardino. where they will be prose-
cuted for trying to beat their way with
out paying their fares. This is new
kink in the line of both contractor and
tramp.

lT gives the HERALD great pleasure to
be able to announce that 100000 of the
$4,000 which the management OF the

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Chronicle, occasionally takes up posi-
tion that, to say the least, is peculiar.
Some Tins ago some poor wretches es-
capped from Ssghslien island, in an open
boat, and were picked up by the captain
of an American whaler. These peo-
pie had faced death and stsrva-
tion to escape from the intolerable pri-
vations OF this new Russian penal col
ony. Any one with bowels-nay, sin-
gle gut-of compassion would be inclined
to pity these stranded waiis, but not so
the Chronicle. 1t wanted them handed
over to the Russian government, which.
doubtless, would itself have been
ashamed to receive them, and abuses
Secretary Carlisle for ordering them to
be discharged from the San Francisco
prison in which they were immured.
The secretary of the treasury has done
exactly right in this case, and has
shown willingness to cooperate with
Providence, which directed the almost
miraculous preservation of the poor
Wretches.

AN INTELLIGENT POLICY.

The government OF Italy is said to
have issued document to Italians ad-
vising them not to emigrate to the
United States. This counsel is asserted
to be based on the fact chat times are go
hard in this country that it is better
that the Italians should stay at home.
This will be pleasing intelligence to the
American workingman. For years he
has been subjected to a competition that
has made his lot hard indeed, and that
is largely responsible for the evolution
OF the tramp guild. For years the law
has been violated by the importation,
in immense numbers, OF laborers on
contract from Italy and Hungary. They
have been brought into the United
States to take the places Of American
workiDgmen in the coal and iron
mines and foundries OF Pennsyl
vania and Of the other eastern
states. While we have heard great
deal about the benefits protection has
been to the American laborer, there
has really been no attempt made to
protect the workingman himself. He
has been compelled to submit to COM
petition only less CALLING and destruc
tive than his brother workman has en-
countered on this coast from the Celes-
tial. This is the time OF all Others for
the passage OF az intelligent and con-
avowed purpose the protection of the
American workingmaD, and the Euro
pean wofkingman who is now dom
iciled in this country, from the in
roads of hordes OF contract laborers
from abroad. The law might we'll be
limited to ten years and, at the expira-
tion of that psriod it might be re-en-
acted or allowed to drop, ss experience
should dictate.
Just now such law is scarcely re-
quired, and for reason which is not
understood by most people. The in
dustrial depression which exists in the
United States is very well understood
abroad; and, as result, the immigra-
tion of working people has almost
ceased. But the recupsrative powers OF
the United States are as vast as they are
instant. The country will quickly pass
through the present crisis, as it has the
many which preceded it, and The con-
uncture is thus favorable for the enact
ment OF a wise law which would give
American labor-meaning by this term
Ill laborers who are now in the United
to recover from the disas-
ers of peculiar and destructive COM
petition. There would be absolutely
nothing proscriptive in such a pro-

THE <aAILWAY AND THS MIDWIN TER
FAIR.


1t is quite unfortunate that anything
should have occurred to interrupt the
pleasant prospect that we had entered,
in California, on an era Of genuine Sec
tional good will. in which the southern
counties would pledge to the central
and northern counties hearty smity by
the erection OF a splendid building in
the midwinter fair. and the sending to
the "Sunset City" of q magnificent as
sortment of our special products. When
made up their minds to do everything
in their power to contribute to the sue
cess of the midwinter iai-, they sup
posed. of course, that they would be al
lowed to reap from their enterprise all
the benefits which excursions from San
Francisco to this section would nat
urally bring in their train. An
unex pc cted obstacle has interposed
itself to this natural hope in the
fact that the Southern Pacific rail-
way has shown an indisposition TO con
ceding the stop privileges demand
ed. 1t is TO be hoped that the railway
people will reconsider this determina
ton. Should they fail to do go, how
ever. there is no doubt OF the resolve OF
our people to withdsaw from the enter
prise altogether and to consecrste all
their efforts on getting up magnificent
local exhibit. That this can be made
memorable success admits of no doubt.
The people of the east have enjoyed the
varied and delightful features OF the
Columbian worlds fair at Chicago. and
those OF them who shall come to this
coast will undoubtedly be interested
rather in the distinctive expositions of
our products than in listening to echoes
from the Windy City. We heartily
trust that the discordant notes which
have been heard of late will disappear,
and that there will be no impediment
to the concentration of all our energies
on the Sunset City. The disposition in
the southern counties is perfect if this
element of dissension is eliminated.
