COMMENDED BY GRAND JURY

Arthur Bray Makes Good Showing as
Recorder.
Arthur Bray, the present county re-
corder, has announced himself as a can
didate for the same position at the COM
ing election, subject to the decision of
the Republican convention. Mr.. Bray
has filled the Office of recorder for one
term. He has had much experience in
the recorders Office, having been chief
deputy under Frank Gibson, and went
out with the latter in 1858. Subse-
quently be was deputy in the clerks
office for year and half, and resigned
that position in August. 1892.
The last grand jury had the following
to eAy, in the report, concerning Mr..
Bray:
THE receipts of this Office for the
year were $34,623.58 and the expendi.
lures were $2S.727.65, showing net
profit to the county of $5895. %. The
recorder deserves special support in his
efforts to break up the practice Of filing,
at the expense OF the county, certificates
Of tax Gales sold to individuals. The
practice has been TO file these certifi.
Gates at the expense of the county.
Ihese numbered during last year 1000.
The recorder has very properly refused
to file these certificates unless the fees
were paid. The recorder has recently
followed the present usage in many of
the northern counties i'll endeavoring to
secure uniformity in the forms of deeds
and mortgages so that the books of
record may be printed 10 correspond. A
considerable saving has already been &C.
-
We urge the public and especially the
members of the bar and real estate deal
ers to assist in this cOmmendable effort
to reduce the cost of this work."
This showing 10 all the more pro-
nounced when it is compared with the
report OF the auditor for the preceding
year. In 1891 the receips were $32,-
072.20 and expenses s36,716 92, leaving
net deficit OF S4, GA SO, against an
earning in 1898 10 the county of over
$4,000.

THE VALUE OF EXPERIMENTS
AS Conducted by the United
States Government.
Two Stations for Agricultural Pur-
poses Near This City.
Some Valuable Results RscsntIy Accom-
plished at Pomona in the Mat
ter of Alkail-It 10
Fertilizer.

Charles H. Shinn, the state inspector
OF horticulture and agriculture, who has
been on recent visit to Pomona and
Santa Monica. states that affairs at both
places are in very prosperous condi-
ton. At Pomona the state has a full
experimental station, comprising 40
acres in two tracts. One is upon wet
land and the other upon dry ground.
The conditions of soils thus obtained
give the very best chance to determine
the greatest results in the various kinds
OF vines and trees. On these tracts OF
lands there are 1000 varieties of vines
and trees in bearing, and as fast as new
varieties are obtained they are set out
and the results of their growth and
progress closely Eoted.
OF peaches they have 100 varieties in
bearing, all grown without irrigation.
Their method Of conveying water upon
their land is after the most approved
plan. 1t is conveyed in fumes. and
each gallon of water put upon the land
isaaccurately measured.
One of the most interesting results
which Mr.. Shinn had to report was in
the matter of alkali spots in the land
about Pomona, and particularly on Mr..
Gird's sugar beet lands. 1t was found
TO contain very large percentage OF
potash, an element of fertilizing strength
very much to be sought for. In fact the
| top surface, where the alkRli Is to be
found, could be used upon land rather
barren Of fertilization with very good
resulte. Because of the presence OF
ol boil hor
been grown, Mr. Shinn says, the per-
centage OF sugar has been very high.
This proves lts value.
On the Pomona station they are also
making quite an experiment in growing
sweet potatoes, having 81 Varieties. This
foreman in charge is university gradu-
ate and familiar with chemistry. He ie
thus able to work out results that could
no, otherwise be obtained.
Down at Santa Monica they have the
forestry station, in charge Of foreman.
1t comprises 20 acres OF land in Santa
Monica cafion, lying on y slope. From
the river to the upper level there is a
difference of 200 feet, which makes IL
very appropriate for experimenting up
on. Some 80 specimens of eucalypti
have recently been sent to Prof. 8. s.
Sergeant, an authority on such matters,
at Harvard, ard specimens of the bark
and leaves Of ths same trees were sent
to Berkeley to determine the different
oils they contained.
One of the objects sought in the fu-
ture in connection with this station is
to have a school of forestry and botany
there each year, made up from students
of the university.
Both this station and the one at Po-
mona are kept up by what is known Of
tho Hatch aud MuIIili appropriations,
snd although they are under the super
vision OF the state university, the state
does not pay for their maintenance.

''Those horrid San Francisco report
ers," she said, "misrepresented me in
every possible way. and hope you will
not follow in their footeteps."
She WAS free to talk of her fu-
ture. but did not dwell upon the
unfortunate occurrence that sent her
mother to San Quentin for life. 1t will
be remembered that tho young lady be.
came noted by her mother shooting Miss
Siattuck's alleged betrayer, one Harry
Poole, in San Francisco. on January 9TH
last. Miss Shattuck, at the time, was
the leading chorus singer at the Tivoli,
in San Francisco, and was looked upon
as one of the prettiest women on the
stage, besides possessing model figure.
She posed for the three big fountain
figures at the midwinter fair, adding
more notoriety to ber already wide
spread reputation. She was bora in
San Miguel, San Luis Obispo county, 10
years ago; her father died when she was
a baby and, as she was the only child,
she has no remembrance OF him. She
made her advent on the stage in San
Francisco about three years age and I'M
mediately became a great favorite, her
pretty face and form giving her prom
inence at oRce.
She possesses a splendid contralto
voice, which she uses to good advantage.
She intends to follow the stage and will
shortly 90 east. Miss Shattuck says
that she ia not married nor is she en-
gagged. Notwithstanding the reports to
the contrary.

The Native Sons Preparing for the Csls-

The Native Sons of the Golden W lest
who live in this part OF the state are all
in furry about this time, the cause of
such excitement being the preparations
which are being made by Los Angeles

ceive the members OF the different par

them celebrate that great day for native
Californians-Admiesi Day.
Similar preparations are going on
among the northern parlors who will
celebrate at San Jose, but the parlors of
Southern California cannot spare the
time to make the trip north, and 60 are
going to celebrate tho 9th of Septemb Der

programme for the trip. which will ex-
tend over four or five days. has been

Tho arrangement is to take in all the
different interests. Il will include the
iron and coal lands owned by Carsen
and Taylor in Washington, Garfield and
Kane counties, in Utah, comprising
many thousands OF acres of valuable
property, and the leaae OF the U tab Cen
trail railroad, the recent purchase by De
la Mar of ITO miles Of partly constructed
road from Phoebe and. the 40 miles of
road already constructed by Blake. The
whole is be put in the company at cor
tain valuation, and stock issued on pro
rata basis. Enough money will also be
occurred, az an Offset to the landed
property, to easily put the road through.
In this deal Claffins, the New York
banker. is said to be prominent.
There is every reason to believe, from
the information ct hand, that this ar
rangement will be successfully carried
out, ss the letter received said that ne
gotiatons were progressing very favor
ably. 1t will combine interests which
have hitherto been pulling rather inde-
pendently of one another, and give much
increased strength to proposition
which shows evidence OF being OF great
benefit to this city.
the branch from Phoebe to the Ferguson
mines, and in addition to a railroad is
pushing telegraph line through az
fast as possible.
Mr.. Blake's idea of reaching this city
was to build south SO az to strike San
Bernardino, or thereabouts. The line
would branch off from some point in
that section, one line going to San Diego
and the other coming into Los Angeles.
OF course, the new route may be en-
tirely changed. There is one thing quite
certain about the new road, not lost
sight OF, and that is the great saving in
distance over the line around by the
way OF Sacramento. Between here and
Salt Lake it would mean saving Of 25
hours ia time to passengers and 40
hours in freight.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT LINK.
From @. w. Maxson, who returned
Keeler. on Owens lake, at the terminus
of the Carson and Colorado railroad,
much that is of interest to this city ia
learned. He says that it is but 12S
miles to Keeler from Mojave. and that
If a railroad was built between the two
places a vsst amount of business would
road was built to Panamint. and thsnce
down the valley of that name to Searles
fats. where the great borax fields are 10.
Gated, and thence to Mojave, a distance
of 155 miles the road would have large
earning power. The borax is now hauled
to Mojaye by team while the ore from
the rich silver mine is hauled into
Keeler by team and thence nhipped by
rail up to Reno and to San Francisco.
The country is not only extremely rich
in mineral but in the Indian Wells val
ley eouth of Keeler there are over 300,-
600 scres of land through which a canal
is now being built. NJ. Maxson de-
scribes the country rs very rich and he
thinks that II railroad was built over
this gap that the entire wealth of west
ern Nevada would come to Los Angeles.
MANY LEGAL DIFFICULTIES.
F.J. Loesch, the general counsel for
the Postal Telegraph company, arrived
from Chicago last evening, and ia etop-
ping at the Hollsnbeck. He stated to
HERALD reporter that he was out here

court asking the right to erect their lines

fic, from the state line to Moiave. They
would file their application on Septem-
Der 1st. In Arizona their application
was granted, and they will soon be in
California. The line is now at Hol-
brook, rs miles west OF the New Mexican
line, and on September 1st the line
through the latter territory will be
opened for business. Mr.. Loesch states
that it has been legal fight all the way
through with the Western Union COM
pany, who claimed the exclusive right
for telegrsphc privileges along the line
of the Atlantic and Pacific under con-
tract made in 1872.
Col. L. D. Parker, the general super
intendent, and G. N. Baker, superintend-
ent OF construction, will be here next

SOME MORE WATER LITIGATION.
Parties Who Want to DevelOl
Water Rights.
They Are Likewise Claimed by tn
City.
Mr.. spilImsn Wants tho Title to Ger
tain Water Rights ON the San ha-
faol Ranch Quieted-A Big
Tunnel at Laurel Canyon.

1t looks as though the city OF Los An
geles was booked for some more lit,ga-
ton with regard to its rights in the
water Of the Los Angeles river.
Notice OF suit has been filed with
the city council. brought by w. I. Spill
man, owner of certain portion OF the
Rancho San Rafael, to quiet title to GER
tain water rights on the aforesaid ranch.
Spillman lays claim to these water rights
and wants this question definitely de.
cided before undertaking certain ex-
ten sive Improvements in that section OF
the country.
The city attorney will make an inquiry
into the rights of the city, particularly
as to the what effect the claims OF Spill
man will have on the water in the Los
Angeles river.
The matter will come up for the con-
sideration of the council and it ia prob
able that the city attorney and city en-
gineer will receive instructions to make
thorough investigation OF the rights OF
the city and how they will be affected
by the Spillman claim. Mr.. Spillman
sets forth that he proposes to build q
large water works at that point and that
an elaborate system Of bitches. tunnels
and fumes and other conduits will be
at once constructed to supply large
section of territory with water.
There is another water development
scheme in progress that is exciting q
good deal of interest, and that lie the
tunnel which is being built in the
mountain range south OF Hollywood.
The tunnel is being bored in Laurel
caiion, and the gentlemen back of the
enterprise are Harper & Reynolds. They
have a force of men at
tunnel in $50 feet. 1t is proposed
to bore this tunnel to depth of 600
feet, while second tunnel starting from
point above the original opening will
be bored to depth of 5000 feet; the
tunnel will be four by six feet, and Mr..
Harper says that they are confident of
securing large flow of water.
"Our tunnels" said Mr.. Harper, yes
terday, "are located 100 feet above the
bed Of the Los Angeles river, on the
other side of the range, 90 do not think
the claim can be made that We are
drawing water away to which the city
of Los Angeles can lay claim. We will
build reservoir capable OF building
100000 gallons of water. We intend
to supply water to good section OF the
Oahuenga valley. For some time past
we have been supplying Hollywood with
$4,000 gallons OF water per day."

AN oPPORTUNE DECISION.

Some Important Points on Street Law
Settled.
The supreme court decision in the case
OF White against Harris, sewer ASSESS
ment case in this city, is one of a good
deal Of importance as to street building
in this city. The decision of the lower
court 10 reversed.
This case was decided by the late
Judge Wade and created considerable
attention at the time, as it revolution
lied the method of assessing the cost of
sewers.
The court below held practically that
it was necessary to form district of
assessment, describing the exterior
boundaries thereof. and asse5s the cost
OF sewer work upon each district, while
the city attorneys Office has always
contended to the contrary, and that the
cost of sewer work might be assessed
upon the lots fronting OH the street
through which the sewer was built. In
a recent case brought against the city
before Judge York, he followed the rul.
ing OF Judge Wade, and enjoined the
city from preceding in the matter of
the Maple avenue sewer until said dis
trict should be described. As the city
has under way the construction OF a
number OF sewers, some of which are
being built under the district plan, but
many of which are being constructed
like other street work-the cost to he
assessed upon the lots and lands 'front.'
ing thsreon-this decision of the su
preme court comes at an opportune
time.
