B. D. HYAM DEAD.
He Was Once Prominent Mason in
California.

The news of the death of B. D. Hyam on
Wednesday al Garfield Hospital, Washing
ton, d. c., reawakens memories of the
early fifties, when he was a resident of
this State. In 1852 he won unenviab BILE
notOriety BY his administration of his office
as the third grand master of the Grand
Lodge of Masons of California. His esti-
mate of the powers that were vested in
him by virtue of the exalted station which
he occupied was considered so totally at
variance with Masonic law that he was
requested to abdirate. But this he de-
clined to do, yet when the committee that
bad been selected to investigate the alle-
cations of his abuse OF power held its ses-
sion he absented himself from the State
and would not meet them. He returned.

Mr.. Hyam's reply to the allegations was
based upon his construction of the Ma

the position he took on this question of

A TARIFF GHOST.
California Fruit-GrOWers
Alarmed.
MEETING IN PIONEER HALL.
Prominent Orchardists Describe the
Perils Which Confront a Great
California Industry.

A convention of California fruit-growers
assembled in Pioneer Hall yesterday to
present such facts respecting their indus
try as might enlighten Congress in is re-
vision of tariff duties upon imported fruit.
The attendance was not as large as was
hoped by the projectors of the meeting.
About forty gentlemen occupied seats in
the hall, but they were terribly in earnest.
Fresno County had no delegates present.
Notwithstanding the California raisn in
dustry is in great peril of hostile legisa-
ton.
Ellwood Cooper. president of the State
Board of Horticulture. called the meeting
to order at 10 A. NJ. The following COM
mittee was appointed to nominate officers
and arrange the order of business: Will
liam Johnston, Courtland; j. L. Howard.
Pomona; j. I. Bogue. Yuba City; II. w.
Hathaway. San Lorenzo. and Professor G.
II. Allen, San Jose.
Upon their report the convention organ
lied with the following officers: Presi-
dent, Ellwood Cooper; -presidents-A.
T. Hatch. j. l.. Rowland and G. H. Allen I;
secretary, b. NJ. Lelong; treasurer. r. &.

Upon assuming the chair Mr.. Cooper
said: I'VE have many things to suggest.

protected. We want tile duty on olive oil

by competition and good methods of
handling the product. Money, however.
would still be made. Ii we could always
command market better class OF immi-
grants could be attracted to this country.
Professor Allen thought that tariff
which worked no injury ought surely not
be abolished or reduced. He sold his first
prunes for 81 cents a pound. Next year
he received 20 cents. Now he could get
only from to II cents pound. The
tariff had done good. 1t has not only
f0stered industry but it had reduced prices
and given the poor man a chance to eat
prunes. The tariff that had helped CALI
fornians had also helped the poor laborer
in the East. California should demand as
her right higher tariff to protect her vast
fruit interests.
Colonel Hersey suggested that American
markets should belong to Americans.
This ended the discussion, and Messrs.
Frank A. Kimball of San Diego County,
A. II. Hatch of Susun and Colonel Hersey
of San Jose, with the chairman and secre-
tary, were appointed a committee to
formulate the views expressed Ia the con-
ven ton and forward the same to Califor-
MAS represen tatives in Congress.
General n. Z. Chapman d. Red Bluff.
with Frank A. Kimball as his alternate,
was selected to proceed to Washington to
represent the fruit-growers of California
at the meetings OF the committees on the
revision of the tariff.
After authorizing the chairman to ap-
point committee Of three to raise funds
to de ray the expenses of the representa-
tives at Washington, the convention ad-
iOurned sine die.

crop was raised. If these duties were
abolished California would be compelled
to succumb to the cheap labor and CHEAP
freights Of foreign growers.
Mr.. Cooner followed with his experience
in raising English walnuts. He had been
paid IL cents pound for his crop. but last
year the price dropped to cents he also re-
marked that a free tariff means death TO
the Zig industry.
Colonel Hersey OF San Jose was chosen
to defend the prune industry. He said he
had fOrty-five acres In pruneS on his place.
LII the tariff on prunes was removed his
orchard would have to be cut down. The
prune-sro"ers had to contend against
freight determinations. Freight in this
country amounted to S2S or $50 ton.
Inc Mediterranean grower paid from
So 90 to SIS 80 a ton. The difference, to-
gether with the difference in the cost OF
foreign labor. would have to be made up
by tariff. The price of California prunes
has fallen from 90 to ~ cents. With pro-
lection there was no reason why Califor-
MIA should not furnish the entire amount
of pranes used in the United States. The
present tariff of cents q pound was some
help. In the San Jose Valley six hundred
growers were obliged to combine to secure
fair price. Last year they received
81, 10000 for half crop. This year the
Jobbers wanted to pay them only So, 900
Tor tWlre as much. while the growers
would have to pay $4,000 more 10 gather
the larger crop. The jobbers gave as a
reason for their offers the exceptionally
large crop in France. Take the tariff off
and our growers would be forced to accept
2h to cents pound in the field.
There are plenty of cranks in the
country willing to destroy American in
dustres for the sake Of developing their
pet theories. 1t was just such people who
advocated the removal of the tariff on
pruneS."
The subject of the tariff on canned and
prepared deciduous fruits was assigned to
X. q. Keils. He advocated the reten ton
of the duties. He also thought that Ameri-
can producers should be further protected
by compelling foreigners to mark their
labels. The honest California Gamers.
even with the tariff, could not successfully
compete with the adulterated jams and
preserves of European manufacturers.
j. l.. Mosher of San Jose spoke of the
importance of the fruit industry to Cali
fornia. Prices would be made still lower

passed by the last Congress; and whereas,
there is manifested in several States OF our
Union and among leading executive officers OF

A Chilly Experience.

James Medley, son of our est eem
ed Representative, A. B. Medley,
prides himself on being a Cracked
skater-he is, in one sense OF the
word. Saturday he escorted a few
lady friends to the creamery pond
near Rush Hill to exhibit his won
derful feats on ice. On reaching the
pond he comfortably seated the
ladies around the edge on logs roll
ed there for that purpose. No soon
er had Mr.. Medley adjusted his
shiny skates and gotten out on the
ice until a frightful sight was pre-
sented. The young gentleman cut
a beautiful "fgure eight but in
performing the difficult feat his feet
suddenly went skyward and the ice
broke. The bottom of the pond is
thought to be uninjured. Before
Jimmie went down the third time
the ladies actually had presence OF
mind enough to yell murder" and
help responded. Mr.. Medley Was
thoroughly soaked, and has asked
his father to present a bill to the
Legislature prohibiting ladies' or
gentlemen going near the ice until
they know how to skate.

ced and far sighted farmers. The
managers of its Agricultural and
Mechanical Association and Clark q
Potts horse sales, the latter of whom
is President of the State Board of
Agriculture, contributed also their
full quota. The former in connec-
ton with the Horse Breeders Asso-
citation offered and awarded $25 900
to the exhibitors of fast horses. And
at the sales of the latter $50 fine
horses were disposed of for $2S 200.
By such magnificent premiums, by
wide advertisements and the as
sistance of the county press visitors
were drawn from every part of the
Union, furnished an opportunity of
seeing the best animal and art pro-
ducts of the county and induced to
examine into the peculiarities and
capabilities of a section producing
such strong and active horses and
vigorous cattle. The result of all
this was that some of them conclud-
ed to take advantage of what they
saw and by selecting the farms best
adapted to their purposes and pay
ing literally for them gave impetus
to the progress to which we have
been directing attention.
1t would scarcely do to conclude
this article without noticing the
roads of Audrain county. They are
of varied character, good, bad and
indifferent, Is they traverse prairie
or timber lands. In dry weather
many prefer them to rocked or
graveled roads. Usually the prairie
roads are good, or might easily be
made so by proper grading and
drainage. 1t is the roads in tim
bered regions that become almost
impossible in wet weather that de-
mand immediate attention and it
seems to be imperative that these,
besides being graded and drained,
should be either rocked or graveled.
The railroads of Audrain county
form an excellent substitute for
state and county highways. Scarce
ly any one would prefer to travel or
transport commodities along their
routes to using their facilities.
What is needed is good local roads
to enable farmers to carry their pro-
ducts in the easiest and cheapest
manner to the depots and towns
nearest them and experience has
proven that these cannot be obtained
under the operation of prevailing
methods. Theoretically the road
laws of Missouri may be perfect but
practically they amount to little or
nothing. Neither working roads by
overseers or constructing them by
subscription are productive of such
roads as agriculture needs. How,
then, r they to be obtained? This
is the vexed question that gives rise
to many varied sentiments, views and
plans that cannot be reproduced
here in detail. The proposition
that seems most plausible is that
the political townships of the county
take their roads in hand and adopt
such policies in regard to them as
each may deem best. Sectional
jealousy stands in the way of road
improvement by the county and
there seems to be no other mode of
meeting and overcoming it.
