THE JuRY,s vGEp1or,

tho Disaster.

Rodger Ryfkogel Reid Responsible for
tho Disaster.
MONTEREY, April 2S.--Bagby's opera
house, where the inquest on the victims
OF the Los Angeles disaster was held,
was crowded with people and
there was the greatest excitement
when the jury retired. This excitement
was intensified when the Jurors returned
their verdict to the coroner and that
official refused to make their decision
public. He was perEistent in his deter
mination, and the excited thronS hung
about the opera house until late at
night. Finally the verdict was an
nounced.
The jury found that the five victims
of the disaster met death from exposure
and drowning, and that by disobeying
the orders of his superior officer, the
third officer. Rodger Ryfkogel, In charge
of the watch at the time of the diasaster,
was thereby guilty OF criminal neglect
and carelessness, thereby being the
direct caHse OF the deaths.
The GAUGE of Coroner Morgan's with.
holding the verdict was then apparent.
Soon it became known that warrant
had already been issued for Ryfkogel' o
arrest, and by the time the verdict of
the jurT had become generaliy known
the accused third officer had been taken
into custody by Constable Diaz.

Freight Rates on Wheat.

The papers throughout the Palouse
country are taking up the cry fer re-
duced freight rates and advocating a
.,oncentr 4ted effort by the farmers and
Vising if need be, resort to the courts
TO secure a reduction of rates, and. in
the event of failure to secure relief from
this quarter, the demanding of the
passage of restrictive legislation. The
indications are that the agricultural
sections will insist upon Legislative can
.iidates putting themselves on resord in
the matter. The democratic press is
TAXI g the matter of grain rates up and
il may become an issue in the coming
campaign.
The idea prevails that a grain rate of
50 90 per ton from the Palouse country
10 the coast would allow reasonable
margin Of profit to the roads, and a
higher rate than this, it is claimed,
places an unjust burden upon the asri-
cultural classes, There are approx
.nataly 100000 acres OF grain in the Pa
lause country and an average yield Of
twenty bushels per acre is anticipated
or 5000 900 bushels in all. The crop at
present prices is worth at the warehouse
between $4,000 and $l,750000,
which, it is calculated, will not cover
cost o. producing same, allowing the

farmer the expense OF threshing, sackiug,

ling and fail interest on the value of

The railroads would make money by a
more liberal policy toward the wheat
grower To do the roads justice, they
have pursued fair policy toward flour
milling nserests here, and Spokane
would welcome reduction of wheat
rates to the coast, provided the existing
milling and transit rate on flour from
Spokane be maintained. A resort to
the courts or the Legislature ought not
to be necessary in such case. 1t is to
the interest of the roads as much as the
eople to encourage the great agricul-
tnra interests of the inland empire. -

Farmers Who Have No Sheep.

Farmers Who Have No sheep.
The people of the United States con.
sumo annually, under normal conditions
a little over 900 100000 pounds of WOO
n the unwashed basis With less thar
100000 sheep now in this country
only about half the needed W Jol Is FRO
duced by American flocks, and the other
half is imported in the form of wool and
oolen manufactures. How does this
importation affect farmers who have nj
sheep?
Every pound of wool imported is
equivalent to an import of the grass,
hay, corn, oats and other feed that make
wool Thus, when wool Is imported
these farm products are in effect i'm
ported, to come in competition with the
similar products of American farmers
and thus reduce the price ard impair
the ability to patronize mechanics, mer-
chants, grocers, schools, colleges or
churches
We need an addition to our Aocks of
65,O00,000 sheep. With an adequate
pro ectlve tariff for wool we will soon
have this increase, which would make an
additional demand for at least 100000
bushels of corn, or an equivalent In corn
and oats for stock sheel and for 10000
900 additional mutton sheep prabably
about 100000 bushels more feed
would be required. 1t would make An
increased demand for pasturage, and
thus utilize lands now unemployed. 1t
would also increase the demand for hay,
oats, etc.
Mr.. John Reimers, an intelligent Ger
man of Grand Island, Nebraska, who
has a ranch of 1000 acres, has STATED,
that large numbers of sheep we're pas
tured in Wyoming and then driven into
Nebraska to be Nintered on hav, fodder
and corn raised there, and that the
sheep owners of Wyoming shipped into
that state large quantities of corn from
other states for winter feed for sheep,
especially for those to be sold for NUT
ton.
Thus the farmers who own no sheep
a e deeply interested In sheep husbandry.
Free wool will substantially destroy
sheep husbandry and the market it makes
TO farm products. And yet John Rel
mers is a free wool Democrat
The total annual exports of corn from
the whole United States, from 1870 to
1889 inclusive, were only 56,786,864
bushels, or 80 per cent. of all , reduced,
Ohio produced about one-twentieth of
the corn crop, 30 that its proportion of
he annual export was 1873, 443 bushels.
while the needed increase of sheep will
make increased demand for nearly five
times the export market, ana then the
foreign market will still be open to Ohio
besides
The food supply has increased more
rapidly than our population. In per
iod Of 80 years, ending 1889, the popu-
lation in the United States has increased
l75 per cent, corn has increased 257
per cent, wheat 389 per cent, oats All
per cent, swine &c per cent, and cotton
seed oil is just recently made an article
of food like lard. The necessity for in
creaslng our home market for corn and
oats is pressing. The importation of
wool diminishes the home market; an in
crease of our focks enlarges it. Our
policy is, import no wool, produce all
needed and enlarge the farmers market.
