HERR A PRISONER.

Arrested in LONDON for His Implication
In the Panama Frauds-Too LII to BE
Moved
LONDON, Jan. 21.-Dr. Cornelius
Herr, the blackmailer of Baron Rein
ach, was arrested at midnight on 3
warrant issued on demand of the
French government on the charge
of having been fraudulently impli-
Gated in Panama swindling and cor
ruption. The detectives assigned to
make the arrest found their prisoner
too i'll to be moved, and will remain
with him until they are able to take
him to Paris. Herr, Notwithstanding
his illness, has made energetic
preparations to contest the effort
to extradite him to France. He has
retained Mr.. Lewis, the well-known
solicitor, and Sir Edward Clarke and
Mr. Gill are counsel in the case. Some
surprise is expressed that Herr should
now prepare to contest extradition TO
the last point when before arrest he
had professed his readiness to sur

OLIVE growing, olive picking, and
the manufacture of olive oil have be-
come a highly important industry in
California. This year the industry has
a remarkable boom, and the dealers are
entirely unable to meet all the orders
they have received. This is especially
the case in the Pomona valley. Every
body engaged in the olive trade-grow-
ing, making oil, or acting as brokers
is making unusual profit, and there is a
demand for five times the amount of the
crop. One order that could not be
filed was received at Pomona the other
day from New York grocery house for
twenty thousand gallons of picked
olives. Many orchardists have made
two hundred and fifty dollars an acre
from olives this season, and some have
made a clean profit of three hundred
and fifty dollars an acre.
VANDAL wOodcutterS still work apace
in the western forests, cutting down the
monarchs of ages with never a thought
save of the number of shingles each
will yield. One lumberman visiting
Portland, Ore, few days ago, told
with great gusto how he could get out
timber from his claim, near the Green
basin, that would square four and a
half feet for 40 feet of it's length. He
said he had one tree on his claim that
measures thirty-one feet in circumfer-
ence six feet above the ground, and 170
feet to the first limb, and which he
estimates contains 10000 feet of lum-
6er." W
