SUPPLY COMMITTEE.

The Members Consider the Matter OF
Fire Department. Supplies.
A special meeting of the supply com.
mittee was held yesterday morning at
10 o'clock, at which the bids for hose, a
fire engine and hose wagon, which had
been recommended by the fire commits
sioners and referred to the committe by
the last meeting OF the council were
considered.
1t was unanimously decided to en-
doree the recommendation OF the fire
commissioners in regard to the hose and
the engine, but on the question of the
hose cart the committee were divided.
Dir. Innes and Mr.. Pestle were of the
opinion that the contract should not be
given to a San Francisco firm, because
they thought q wagon could be built
here as we'll as there and they were in
favor of patronizing the home indus
tries.
Mr.. Munson believed that his action
in opposing such q departure is q correct
one, as he claimed that no manufacture
er in this city has the plans from which
the kind of hose wagon desired could
be built.
The majority ruled, however, and it
was decided tina + report be made to
the council recommending that the
wagon be built here. The committee
then adjourned.

The people of Santa Cruz have no
mean opinion of the all round ability oi
their representative citizens, as the fol-
lowing extract published in that place
pretty conclusively shows. We repro
duce 1t because it refers TO matter Of
great interest to Angelsfios:
1t has been discovered that on account
OF q slngular omission in the act passed
by the last legitlature prolonging the
time OF municipal bonds from twenty to
forty years, the act ae it now stands
virtually knocks out the twenty-year
water bonds voted by Los Angeles last
November and now being negotiated.
The usual saving clause in the amenda-
tory act was not inserted, and the opinion
10 freely expressed that to Issue legal
bonds Los Angeles must again 20 through
the entire routine and Issue forty-year
bonds as prescribed by the law now on
the stature books.
Los Angeles should consult Santa Cruz
II 1t wants everything regarding water
works to be without any legal bitches.
II Mayor Jeter, ex-Nayor Bowmsn, o.
J. Lincoln, w. Finkeldey, DR.. T. W.
Drullard, Henry Wiley, E. Il. Garrett
or W. D. Storey were consulted they
could give Los Angeles more points in
an hour Of how to issue bonds legally
than most lawyers could in month. II
their advice ia followed no trouble would
be experienced regarding the validity of
bonds or the construction OF frat-class
water system.

INTERNATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

Irrigation is today the most importani
eubiect in which Caliiornians are inter.
ested. The prosperity of this great
state depends largely upon the econom.
ical saving, storage, and use of the
waters OF our streams. Irrigation was
practiced in the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona many hundred
years ago by race now extinct. Hun
dreds of miles Of irrigating bitches that
were built by those people have been
discovered in the great desert region
covered with sand and volcanic lava.
Irrigation on large scale in modern
America ia of quite recent date.
Twenty years ago about one million
acres we're being irrigated in the United
States. Ten years ago this quantity
had doubled. Today there are 20, 900, 900
acres under water bitches, about one
half of which are under cultivation. In
California alone there are over 5000, 900
acres under ditch, nearly 100000 of
which are under cultivation.
The next International Irrigation Con.
gress Ia to be held in Los Angeles on the
tenth day of October next. 1t will be a
most important meeting, and will be at.
tended by several hundred delegates
from ell the western states and terrific
ries, from several of the southern states,
and from foreign countries interested in
this important subjsct.
Our citizens will, OF course, reap
benefit from the few thousands OF dol
lars that the delegates will spend here:
but Southern California will reap a BEN

states and countries some of our match
Less resources.
Our people must see to 1t that theee
visitors are royalty treated. They must
be Hospitality entertained and shown
over our orchards, vineyards and farms.
Then each man of them will become a

preach OF the paradise he saw in South
ern California. The result will be that
a correct knowledge of this section will
be disseminated in localities where, at
present, but little is known Of Califor.
mia.
The few hundred dollars necessary to
the succeas of the congress will, we are
sure, be cheerfully subscribed by our

THE indications are that there will be
q lively real estate market in Los An.
geles this summer. This activity will
be followed by something phenomenal
In the fall and winter. The idea that
financial disturbances in the east should
affect California is not proved BY the
experiences of the last twenty years.
The great panic of 1873, which followed
on the failure of Jay Cook & Co.,
brought thousands and tens OF thou
sands of persons from the east to settle
on this coast, and particularly to South
ern California, where there were great
opportunities for profitable investment.
History will repeat itself in this in
stance.

GRANGE IN THB CIRCULATING DRPART-
MINT OF THE RRRALD,

This morning two energetic young
men, the Messrs. John B. Franklin and
Martin B. Levering, will take charge of
the circulating department of the
HERALD. They are both very we'll
known in this city, having distinguished
themselves as business men by honor
able and upright conduct. An early
service of the HERAID will commence
in few days, when the new carriers
become familiar with their work. We
warmly commend them to the people of
Los Angeles and feel assured that their
energy, industry and desire to oblige
will, in connection with the merits OF
the paper, assure them large measure
of success.

done much to advance the interests OF

rior character OF their exhibits. In
fact, their work is the only thing that
shows there to any advantage from this

that there is at least one agency at work
to assure for this section creditable rep

A grand complimentary concert was
rendered to Prof. r. L. Kent last even

consisted of alternate vocal and instru-

The two soprano solos By Mesdames

the tenor solo by G. 8. Walton, deserve
special mention. Mr.. Tom Barnes also
made recitation in a graceful and i'm

The latest news from the California

more encouraging character than we
have been used to. Mr.. L. J. Rose re-
turned there after short visit to New
York, and was very sgreeably disap-
pointed ut the progress that had been
made. The litter had been cleared out,
the aislee were open, and a great many
of the contributions were arranged in
place. The decorations were nearly
completed and looked fine, and there
was general promise that the whole
building and the exhibits would be in
very presentsble shape this week. 1t
is pleasant to hear a change OF tune
like this. Since the opening of the fair we
have been treated to nothing but loud
and continuous wall about the shame

IT may be some consolation to know,
when we are considering the impotence
of the State, in its absolute failure to
get hold of Evans and Sontag, that the
leader of the gang is not, after all,
without his domestic virtues. His let
ters to his wife show that he ia fond Of
kissing bis offspring, while as for her he
sends her "bushels" OF kisses. These
are not absolute civic virtues, but they
go far to make man esteemed or at
least liked amongst his neighbors. 1t is
this latter circumstance that probably
has procured his immunity. One touch
OF nature is apt to make the whole
world kin, in the mountains of Califor-
mia as anywhere else. Still the marvel
OF the day is the ease with viii ch these
men can traverse the state Of California
with apparently no more danger of ap-
prehension than if they had never COM
mitted crime. They seem to be both
ubiquitous and invulnerable.

The latest advices from Honolulu are
to the effect that great uneasiness is felt
throughout the islands az to the course
the United States will tske on the sub
isct OF annexation. The provisional
government, in anticipation of trouble,
is strengthening itself against possible
emergencies. Ex-Minister Stevens was
unwise and ungsllant enough to make q
serious attack upon the ex'queen, charg-
ing her with immoral teachings, ETC.,
and the royalists OF the islands are nat
urslly very indignant about it. The
queen herself, however, disavows any
intention to interfere with the question
of annexation, as she feele that the
United States will not undertake to in.
corporate the islands into the union.
egsinst the wishes of the great MACS of
her own people. The queen may not be
much Of politician or be deep in the
science OF ststesmanship, but she has
very sound views on the subject
of public opinion about annexation
in the United States. We are not
rebCy 10 ny lu bnb IhcB OF our
traditional policy in order merely to ac-
quire a naval outpoet in mid-Paci6c

ating into our system the Ksnska

GRAND OPERA HOUSE. No woman

Miss Maude Granger and worked as
hard as she has, could avoid becoming
80 proficient as to at times be able to
rise above the handicRps OF many sea-
sons and their results on her physical
attributes. That Misc Granger did this
and even more is true of her appearance
as Miss Csrew in a version of Dumas
LIE Demi Monde last evening. In her
heyday Mics Granger was prone to an
excess OF expression rather than resort
to more effective methods OF repressed
action, and as time rolls by her ten
dency to what in a man would be termed
rant is increased, but no fault can over
come her power as an actress. In the
third act where she outwits Osmond st.
Elmo she was st her best and displayed
an acnteness and sense of the inner
nature of the character she assumed
that was thoroughly artistic.
Mr.. Herzog was good Oamond ST..

few of the traits of London man of the
