!. Mr.. FREEMAN, chairman of the Pasa-
dena boulevard com mittee, has sent out
word for meeting of the whole commit
tee at the rooms of the cham Der of COM
MERGE tomorrow at 2 p. M, to consider
the subject for which they were APP
pointed. 1t is to be hoped that the COM
mittee may see their way to take some
practical action at this meeting by
which work on the proposed boulevard
may be started. II that improvement
is to be carried out, it should be COM
menced at once. The unemployed OF
this city are in distress, and their relief
is an important object that should not
be delayed a moment longer than is abb
solutelY necessary.

TIE merchant winedealers OF San
Francisco are pursuing a policy that
bids fair to throttle the vineyard indus
try in this state unless some means are
soon taken to meet the evil. AS it ia,
the wine growers are only getting from
to 10 cents per gallon for their wines,
and if that state OF affairs continues
much longer, there will be general
tearing up of vines all the way from
Siskiyou to San Diego. Just at present,
with the French and German vineyards
in their worst possible condition and all
Europe clamoring for pure and healthy
wines, this state of things is intolerable.
The only remedy we can see ahead is
for our wine growers to form an organi-
cation to make their own shipments to
London and Paris. This process has
been carried out with success by our
citrus orchardists.

THE PRoSPECT0RS SAFE.
MILLARD'S PARTY DID NOT PER-
ISL ON TEE DESERT.
They Are st Present ~ ths Lost
Horse Affno In Automatically
Psrishsd Fer the Lack of
water.

The dispatches yesterday morning
made the announcement that Nathan
Willard and party Of Ell Campo were
supposed to have perished on the desert
while on q prospecting tour.
By the arrival in this city yesterday
OF J. ]. Fife of Arizona the story
is proven untrue and the Millsrd
party still lives. Mr.. Fife talked with
the entire party less thsn six days ago.
He 10 employed by the e. e. Holland
Mining and Milling company, whose
minea are located In ths Lost Horse min
ing district.
Six days ago Mr.. Fife Was at the Lost
Horse mine, when the party OF Nathan
Willard, his son Charles, q man known
as Diamond George" and negro
came into camp. The men had crossed
the desert through q most dreary waste,
and were nearly exhausted for lack OF
water. Their animals had little or NO
water during the whole trip after leav-
ing Mesquite lake. One or two OF the
animals and q wagon had been aban-
doned, as told in the dispatches from
San Diego yesterday morning.
Mr.. Fife says that he heard from the
party three days ago. They lett the
Lost Horse mine for q day or two, re-
turning about last Friday. He went to
Yuma and boarded the train for this
city on business. and was greatly sur
prised on learning or the anxiety OF
relatives for the missing prospectors.
The region whore the party 10 now stay
ing Is 60 miles from a telegraph station
and there is NO communication except
by horse and wagon, hence the men had
not yet heard that they were supposed
to ha dead.

OUR NORTHERN SISTER.

The Angelefio, living in a cloudless
vista of perennial sunshine, can form no
real or accurate idea of the havoc and
devastation wrought by the floods in the
three northwestern states and the ad-
joining territory of British Columbia.
Sixty miles OF track under water keeps
the northern Pacific from reaching its
terminus at Portland forty-eight miles
of the Great Northern between the
British line and Elliott bay are sub
merged 30 as to keep that road out OF
Seattle; and the Union Pacific, or Ore
gon short line, as it was originally called,
is overhowed in spots for distance OF
1856 miles, from Portland to Umatilla,
thus necessitating return to the steam
boat business OF the Columbis's earlier
days.
But that is nothing to the condition
of affairs in the city of Portland, which
is overlooked by bsckwster from the
Willamette, larger river than the San
Joaquin, until the entire wholesale por-
ton of the city is under water and more
than half OF the retail part. For the
past three days laboreru have been get
ting from 50 to rs cents per hour in
transferring merchandise out of build
ings in the lower part OF the city, and
the river is still slowly rising. For the
benefit OF those who have never been
there we will endesvor to give the situa-
ton accurately without diagram. Ii
ia the same as if Los Angeles were
flooded eleven blocks wide at the San
Fernando railway depot, extending as
far south as Fifth street, at which point
it would extend east aud west as far as
from Hill street to Los Angeles street.
All the electric and cable power houses,
which are situated ON or near the bank
of the river, are so far under water that
the street cars, above the flooded line,
can only be operated by horse power.

In ordinary freshets, with water from

depth OF over four feet at all points OF
