THEIR POINT SUSTAINED.
Judge Benedict Makes New RuI
ing in Admiralty Law.

ing IN Admiralty Law.
BROOKLYN, n. Y. July S.-United
States District Judge Benedict. sitting
in this city, made a ruling in admiralty
law this morning that puts a new con-
structtOn on the law allowing persons
to sue navigation companies for
personal injuries. Fifteen persons
who were injured at Cold Spring har-
Dor, Long Island, in 1891, sued the Min
ers' Excursion Navigation company for
100000. The defendant claimed that
the suits could not be maIntained.a as the
barge upon which the persons injured
were at the time Of the accident was
worth only $500, ana that the statute
limits the sum they could recover to the
worth OF the vessel. The plaintiffs held
that as this vessel was not seaWOrthy.
and was propelled by another vessel,
the case did not come under the statute.
Judge Benedict argued that this point
was well taken, and ruled that the
plaintiffs could recover also to the
amount CT the towing vessel, which was
worth about $4,000.

but ask central to connect with such 4
name as he desires, thinking it is no
trouble for central to hunt Tor the num-
Der in the telephone book, and don't
stop to consider that several others may
at the same moment be waiting for con-
nectionS.
An instance of this kind was carried
to the United States court in an Eastern
state. 4 certain subscriber, who by the
way was a Justice of the peace and
should have known better, persisted in
calling for connections with the phones
OF parties without giving the numbers.
The exchange determined to reach the
squire" 4 lesson and refused to make
the connection under the advice OF the
manager, unless the number desired
was asked for. The esquire" began ten
suits in the federal court against the
telephone company, alleging damages
for failure to give the service demanded.
The court decided that the telephone
company had the right to make reason
able rules for the conduct of its bust
ness, and that q rule requiring the call
ing for connections by numbers was a
reasonable and convenient one. The
cases WeIe accordingly dismissed and
the squire was obliged to call by num-
bers instead of names thereafter.
There are cases where a telephone Is
out of order. and then it may be ad-
justed by the company. There are
other cases where the lines are inter
fered with by proximity TO noisy ma
chinerY or other wires that make the
service bad, and complaint does not
/ secure the remedy very speedily. If at
all. AT times atmospheric conditions
interfere greatly with the service. Many
instances have occurred where practi-
| cal jOkers get in their work on the
| phone. Ghost dances are performed on
| the line. and men and women are led on
| wild goose chases or have their cred
| ulty imposed upon.
Taken all in all. the telephone Is a
| grand convenience to the world, and an
! evidence Of a higher civilization. We
/ would not be without it, because there
/ is nothing to eftectually I'LL its place.
The Editors Trouble.
The city editor thought the matter all
over, and made up his mind 10 have q

an acquisition were the only points he
considered. and never thought of the
disadvantages entered his fertile brain.
| In due course of time tie little instru-
ment was put in, right alongside his

the same time was SO unobstrusiVe. and

EDITORS face as he thought of the new

cred in paying quantities and the in
dustry is being developed. Natural gas
is indicated in many sections, and at
Summerland, five miles from Santa Bar
bara, strong flow has been obtained,
and is used throughout the town for
domestic purposes.
Olives, walnuts, oranges, lemons,
lines, guavas, beans, wheat and barley
are among its principal agricultural
products.
The climate of Santa Barbara is re-
markable for the absence of rudeness,
for its mildness, its evennest. The
mountains protect from the winds OF
the north and west; the trade winds,
that would otherwise sweep in from the
ocean. are held at bay by the channel
islands. A gentle breeze is expected
every day. but high wind from any
quarter is rare. To these same channel
islands is it indebted for comparative
immunity from fog; for there is much
less OF it than at less protected localities
along the coast.
Santa Barbara is the principal town
and county seat. Here is the old Fran
ciscan mission, founded in the year
1884. The building was erected in 1920.
The town is the present terminus of
branch of the Southern Pacific rail-
road running from Los Angeles city.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.

Its Favorable Situation for a Mild Gil.
mate and Its Natural Wealth.
Santa Barbara county borders on the
Pacific ocean, and is crossed by the 35th
parallel of latitude. 1t is one of the
original counties of the state, having
been organized in 1850. 1t is traversed
by the Santa Ynez mountains, whose
general trend is very nearly east and
west. The county is thus divided into
portions, northern and southern, OF
which the former is much the larger.
The former portion is comprised of four
valleys, for most part shut in by noun
tains and foothills. The southern por-
tion throughout it's entire extent is open
to the sea. There are are also embraced
withia the county two islands. 2S miles
off the coast.
Its area, aside from its islands, is 20
miles in length by 35 in breadth. 1t
embraces, therefore, on the main land
2450 square miles, to which the islands
add lSO more.
There is the following acreage avail
able for practical uses: The Santa Ma
ria valley, with the valleys that open
out OF it and-pertain to it and the slopes
OF its foothills that bound it, $50, 900
acres; the Los Alamos valley, 10000
acres; the Lompoc valley, 230 600 acres /;
the Santa Ynez valley, 200 900 acres !;
the Santa Barbara valley, 108,000 acres;
two islands, $50, 600 acres.
The first four are the four northern
valleys. The Santa Barbara valley is
the tract between the mountains and
the eea.
The population is from $4,000 to 49,
600, of which something more than half
are gathered in the city and suburbs of
Santa Barbara, 30 it is plain they are
not crowded.
OF natural wealth, apart from the
productions of our soil, there are mines
OF quicksilver, of which the yield has
been abundant, but which are now not
worked by reason of the extreme cheap
ness of that metal. There are large
quantities Of asphaltum and btu minous
rock. Sulphur is abundant, and i'm
pregnates several mineral springs with
medicinal virtue. Extensive beds OF
gypsum are being worked for the manu-
facture of plaster of paris. Clay is in
abundance, from which an excellent
brick is made; limestone also, from
which may be obtained lime for use in
the mechanic arts. Gold, silver, copper
are here, but 30 far as yet discovered in
small quantities. Oil has been discov-

Area 1O,156 square miles.
Population in 1890, 3544.
Assessment, 1892, $ ,543 53i.
The county of Inyo was created in
1866 out of the counties of Tulare and
Mono. 1t has an area of 10,156 square
miles, and includes the famous Death
valley, which is 159 feet below sea level.
Owens river rises in Mono county and
flows southerly about 100 miles, and
empties into Owens lake. which latter
is 5000 feet above sea level. From this
river over 153 miles OF canals are either
finished or in course of construction,
which will bring about 343, 1000 acres
under irrigation. The ISpulation ia
mostly in Owens valley. The mineral
resources of the county are very great.
Gold, silver, copper, lead, antimony,
marble, borax and soda mines are nu-
merous and rich. Keeler, Bishop, Big
Pine and Independence, the county seat,
are the principal towns.
The location of the county and it's
topography make it naturally part OF
Southern California; it joins San Ber-
udruiuu COuuby Ou JHo boubu, anu 10 put
73 miles distant from the north line of
Los Angeles county. Yet, because OF
an Enclosed gap of 120 miles of railroad
from Keeler to Moiave, the county is
barred from its natural outlet to Los
Angeles, and it's only outlet by rail is
over the deserts of Nevada to Reno, and
thence to San Francisco by the Central
Pacific railroad, distance of 600 miles,
over two ranges of mountains each 1000
feet high. Although land is cheap,
water abundant, and it is as fine a de-
ciduous fruit country ss can be found
anywhere, yet theisolation of the county
hinders settlers from going there.
The people of the county know the
fertility of the soil and the pleasant cli-
mate, and their faith has never weak
ened that an outlet by rail will some
time be given them to Los Angeles; and
with this will come very great prosper
ity. Sustained by this faith they have
built canals and invested large sums in
bitches, till at present all is in readi-
ness for irrigating many thousands of
acres of excellent land, and it only
awaits the coming of settlers to utilize
the land and the water.

San Diego county is one OF the original
counties of the state, having been organ
lied in 1850 tits the extreme southern
county of the state, and the southwest
ern of the United States. To its south
is Mexico, west is the Pacific ocean,
north are Orange and San Bernardino
counties and east is Arizona.
The Sierra Msdre divide the county
running north and south. About two
thirds OF the county lies to their east,
and is known as the Colorado desert. 1t
is vast V-shaped basin, with its apex
to the northwest, hemmed in on two
sides by high mountains and opening
southeasterly toward the Gulf of Cali
fornia. The general slope of this basin
is towards the northwest. 1t gives every
evidence of once having been an inland
sea, possibly an arm of the gulf, and
certainly at one time received the waters
OF the Colorado river. But repeated
floods deposited detritus 30 as to COM
pletely bar out the river and perhaps

tense. The only inhabitants are few
villages OF Indians scattered here and

by date palms and email forests of mes
quite.
West of the Sierra Madre, which have
an altitude of 5000 feet, the land falls in
a succession of small valleys and table
lands to the ocean.
| The shore line is indented by two
bays, Mission and Tia Jusna, and by
San Diego harbor, one of the finest land
locked ports in the world.
Farming and mining are the two chief
pursuits Fine lemo ons, raisins and olives
are raised on the lowlands, besides the
common cereals, while the uplands grow
the choicest apples.
Mines of gold, asbestos, gypsum, fire.
clay, cement, salt, sulphur and coal
are profitably worked.
San Diego is the county seat. and is
the principal town south of Los Angeles,
with which it has direct connection by
the Southern California railway. Nation
al City, Otav, South San Diego, Coro-
