Centinela.

Notwithstanding the limited rainfall
there will be fair crops of hay and bar
ley in the Centinela valley. Mr. D.
Freeman has several thousand acres OF
barley that will yield from IL to 20 sacks
to the acre Seven hundred acres were
planted to beans and pumpkins last
month, and the rapid growth of the
young vines gives promise of an abund-
ant yield Mr.. G. II. Rowland OF Ingle-
wood planted rs acres to apple trees a
month ago and all the trees lived and
are growing nicely. Mr.. Freeman 10

Lisbon lemons. 1t has been found by
the experience Of Messrs. Kelso, Tnomp-
son, Cook and others that lemons,
apples, peaches, apricots, etc., will grow
and yield fine fruit in the Centinela
valley without irrigation. The apple
trees, beans and pumpkins mentioned
above were planted on the hill lands
west of nglewood, where no irrigation
is possible. Mr.. Freeman says that
this dry year has demonstrated the
value of the lands lying near the sea
coast, and the value Of summer fallow-
ing. Where the land WAS summer
fsllowed last fall and Gown to barley she
yield OF grain will be from 10 to 20 sacks
to the acre. whereas on lands adjoining,
where no summer following was done,
the crops are very light. The fact is
that it takes a dry year once in a while
to teach Californians the capabilities of
the soil of their state.

Joe Morgan, James MCCARTHY aud Joe

made an Intellectual attempt to escape
yesterday morning.
In the absence of Jailer Coutts, Officer
Woodward had charge of the prison, and
in his rounds he missed three tough
persons from a cell wherein five were
placed the night before. He afterward
discovered that the men were in hiding,
for as soon as he went into the hospital
they scaled an iron door and hid them
selves between the ceiling and the roof.
They must have had some assistance
from other prisoners, az the task WAS in
desd a difficult one.
On finding the men missing, Officer
Woodward and Detectives Auble and
Hawley secured candle and went into
the dark garrett and brought forth the
prisoners. They would certainly have
escaped if allowed little more time.

Vacancies Can Only BE Filled ON the
Date of the Regular Election.
i Some question has arisen as to whether
the Senators to be chosen to fill vacancies
In the States of Montana. Washington,
and Wyoming can be elected upon the
first day the legislatures meet or whether
the elections will have TO be postponed un-
til the prescribed time when Senator's are
elected TO succeed sitting members whose
terms are about TO expire. Senator Dubois,
of Idaho, has been looking up the matter
and has found that Senators elected to I'LL
vacancies must be elected in precisely the
same manner as those 10 fill terms to ex-
pire in the near future. This will prevent
the election Of Senators to fill the vacancies
until the time when the regular Senatorial
elections would occur. Another matter
which he ascertained in looking up the
case was that when these Senators are
elected they will not draw salaries until
they qualify, which is not the case in the
election of Senators elected for full terms.
In the latter case. whether they qualify
on the 4th of March or not their pay be-
gins. Idaho was admitted on July 3. The
Senators elected began drawing pay from
that date. Since then a provision has
been inserted in an appropriation bill pre-
scribing when Senators elected TO fill the
vacancies shall begin 10 draw salaries.

FAMOUS BATTLEFIELD TO BE a
NATIONAL PARK.
Armies of the Southwest to BE as
Well Treated as Their Comrades of
the Esst and Central West-Free
Sugar Bill In the Senate.
Confirms 5000 Acres.

The bill creating q national military
park out of the battlefield of Shiloh has
passed both houses and only awaits the
Presidents signature TO become n law.
The bill ms il passed the Senate appro-
priated $4,000, and provided for a park
of 5000 acres. Ii authorizes the Secre-
tary of War TO acquire possession of the
land included in the proposed limits either
by condemnation of otherwise, but pro-
vides that the present occupants may, un-
der IN arrangement with the Secretary,
remain upon their premises, in which case
they are TO protect all landmarks either
now existing or to be hereafter erected.
The park is to be in charge of three COM
missioners, one of whom shall have
served in the army of the Tennessee un-
der General Grant, another in the army
of Ohio under General Buell., and the
third in the army of the Mississippi under
General A. :. Johnson. The general
purpose of the bill is set forth in the-frst
section, and is declared to be the preser-
yation on the ground where they fought
of the history of one of the most memora-
BILE battles of the armies Of the Southwest,
as has been done for the armies of the
Fast at Gettysburg and for those of the
Central West at Chickamauga.

HANGS IN THE SENATE.
House Free Sugar Bill Can BE Taken
Up at Any Time.

Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and
Means Committee. says no consideration
has yet been given TO further tariff legis-
lation which would overcome the dis
agreements between this country and
Germany, France and Austria, as n re-
suit of the differential duty on the sugars
of those countries. After the German am
bassador had made Il vigorous protest
against the duty. Germany closed her
ports against American meat products.
Denmark followed suit. and n general
commercial warfare between the United
States and sugar-producing countries has
seemed imminent. Under these circum-
stances it was believed that Congress
would take off the differential duty, and
thus restore commercial harmony. The
subject is ready to be taken up whenever
the Senate considers it necessary to get
up an independent measure dealing with
the differental against foreign countries.

Feeding Wheat.

The feeding of wheat to animals has be-
come so general throughout this country
that requests are now constantly received
at the agricultural department for in
formation as to the best methods of feed
ing that grain to cattle. hogs and other
animals. In discussing the subject Sec
rotary Morton said: wheat value as an
animal food is great. But the wheat must
be used carefully, and with due regard to
the habits and environments of the ami
mails, and the forage feed accompanying
it. Growing and fattening animals are
found to thrive upon it. The profit in
feeding wheat when that cereal and corn
are at the same price is greater than in
feeding the latter. Wheat weighs per
cent heavier than corn. Wheat is, weight
for weight, equally good for fattening ami
mails and better for growing animals. The
pork from that feeding is pronounced SUI
perior to any other. The feeding should
be begun by giving very small quantities
10 the animal. 1t should be mixed with
chopped hay or with other grain.

Insurance Law Is Invalid.

At Denver, Col, Judge Graham has de-
cided that the law prohibiting insurance
companies from writing policies on the
lives of children under 10 years of age is
unconstitutional and void. This ruling
will be far-reaching in its effects, as there
have been n large number of convictions
for these offenses. The passage of the
law was procured through the efforts of
the Colorado Humane Society. The Pru-
Dental Insurance Company of Newark,
n. j.. was the principal concern affected
by the law, which was passed in 1893, and
il was in case where the manager, Fred

Seigert, had been arrested that the de-
cision was secured.

The adverse reports of the Secretary or

given in a communication forwarded 10
Representative Ellis, transmitting the
report of the Commissioner OF the zen
eral Land Office recommending the pas
sage of the bill. Secretary Smith does
not concur with Commissioners Lamo-
reaux's views. The third section OF the
act of Sept. 30. 1890, he says, provides
for the right of purchase Of lands within
the forfeited limits by two classes al per
sons. These are citizens of the United
States and those who have declared their
intention of becoming citizens, who pos
sess the forfeited lands under deed, writ

granting act.
