ed great deal of gold in the ftties, but
which had run down to zero as pro-
ducer OF the auriferous, the people de-
cided to undertake fig culture, the soil
being quite similar to that OF Dookie.
So, as one of their number was going to
Melbourne, the leading citizens per-
suaded him to call upon the minister Of
agriculture and ask the necessary infor-
nation with reference to the importa-
ton. from Mediterranean ports, of the
most desirable varieties of hgs. The
minister received the man very gra-
ciously and then asked. 'Do you think
that figs will do we'll there? And are
they in every way adaptable to your soil
and climate?"
"Oh yes." said the old chap, "they
will grow well enough in all conscience
and bear some fruit after awhile. And
even il they don't, they will produce
clothing enough for the settlers and they
will have nothing else to wear. il times

IN THE NAME OF THE PKoPHRT-rIes.

Since the Australians fell into the
fashion of sending over their agricul-
tural commissioners, every four years,
to learn something about fruit cultiva-
tion in California, the good natured but
slow-motioned people of the great South
continent have quietly been catching
on" to California methods. Out in the
Dookie district they have found the soil
and climate wonderfully adapted to the
cultivation OF figs. Prior to 1886 there
was no spraying of fruit trees, but il has
come into general use since John West
OF Goulburn valley came over here in
1890. But with the importation of fig
trees from Asia Minor came q sort OF
insect pest for which the kangaroo coun-
try had no natural enemy. 1t was not
wholly improper, therefore. for clergy
man of D0okie to tell his congregation
that. they wished to escape the annihi.
lation of their fig orchards, they must
adopt the motto of the Californians,
which is watch and spray"

dissimilar to this in purport. Out in

SUGAR BERTs AT ANAHRIM

The Factory Will Not Be Built This
Year.
Z. P. Fowler OF Anaheim was in the
city yesterday. When asked how the
new beet sugar factory was progressing
he said it would have to wait until the
tariff bill now in the senate was settled.
1t is the one which provides for free
sugar. Mr.. Fowler said it was impos-
sible for people in this country to com
pete with Germany, where fully 80 per
cent Of the factories were on the CD
operative plan.
He said that Anaheim could raise
beets equal to any spot on earth, but
until the people out here were as we'll
informed on bset culture they could NOT
compete successfully with the people
who were experta.
Last year the farmers Of Anaheim
raised 10000 tons of beets, which aver
aged IL per cent OF sugar. There were
tons of beots raised whioh went 25 per
cent sugar and 95 per cent purity.
This year the farmers down there had
5000 acres in beets, but 500 acres blew
out and 700 failed to get stand, owing
to lack of cultivation or poor planting.
This leaves but 1900 acres. Those 1860
acres have yielded most remarkably.
The profits will run up to fully $40 per
acre. One man who lives down there
said he had hired all his work done and
eti.l had cleared $50 per acre this year.

CABLE CAR ACCIDENT.

A Citizen of Florence Struck and Badly
IDJured.
A serious cable car accident occurred
at Firat and Broadway at 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, in which A. f. Putney
OF Florencs and A. r. Austin OF this
city were injured, the former very seri-
ously.
The gentlemen were crossing the street,
when they were struck by cable car No.
81 going south. Mr.. Putney had the
misfortune to sustain compound frac-
turs of tho left leg. while Mr.. Auatin
escaped with few bad scratches.
The injured men were removed to the
receiving hospital, where Surgeon II. G.
Gates and Police Surgeon Bryant at
tended them. Both bones OF the leg
below the knee were found to be broken.
Mr.. Putney. in speaking OF tho acci-
dent, claims that the bell was not rung,
and he did not notice the approaching
car on account of q band and other at
fractions in the vicinity. Conductor
Koon of the car says the gripman was
not at fault, although he is one OF the
new employees.

BoUNTigs AND SUBSIDIES.

The New Orleans Picayune. which has
been Democratic paper since the echoes
OF the last gun died away at Chalmstte,
says that there will never be another
bounty voted upon any other American
product" In this the Bour bon journal
aforesaid Is eminently correct and truth
full. There should be no such thing as
bounties and subsidies on any branch of
agriculture, nor upon any other msans
of getting livelihood. If the cane sugar
trade Of Louisiana will not pay, let the
planters go elsewhere and make sugar
out of beets.
Just 80 with the Goldfish bounties paid
10 the New England states. II the
weather is 80 stormy on the banks OF
Newfoundland as TO decimste the popu-
lation OF Gloucester, Barnstable, Har-
wich and Marblehead every year, let the
Yanks come out here to Santa Monica,
Redondo and Long Beach. They will
find cod. mackers and halibut all along
this coast for 2000 miles and good deal
pleasanter country to live in while en-.
gagged in their traditional pursuit OF toll
ing for the harvest of the sea. This ia
eountry whose coast region would aoon
grow opulent under the bsneficent in
huences OF a New England population.
The sugar bounty, when you come to
look at it in the proper light, was the
most corrupt legislation ever foisted
upon so-called free country. OF all
the unblushing robbery that had been
perpetrated In the name of tariff legis-
iation, it possessed the least actual
merit. You might as well have put q
bounty or Musoat grapes because Cali
fornia is the oRIy state which grows
them as to snbsidze the sugar farms of
Louisiana.

DAIRY schools are being started all

the idea is . good one, but the pupils
must be taught that cleanliness is indis-
penssble to success in the making of
butter and cheese. Lessons of cleanli-
ness are seldom the work OF schools of
any sort. The boy or girl who learns
such salutary lessons must acquire them

turists of the country were taxed for the

nor of California. He gave lengthy
extract from the diary of Don Benitc
Wilson. who was present at the battle.
Wilson was alcalde of the Jurupa dis
trict, and was ordered by Castro and
Pico to collect all the forces in his dis-
trict for military duty. He collected
about 80 men. mostly Americans, and
with the brothers Pico and Castro
moved against Micheltorena with an
army of 800 men.
The forces met in tho Cahuengs valley
Kinley entered into negotiations with
the foreigners under Michsltorena and
induced them to desert him and join
Pioo under promise that Pico would con-
firm to them land grants promised them
by Micheltorsna.
There were about 80 Americans under
Pioo, and about 40 in Micheltorena's
army. The detection of these compelled
Micheltorens to surrender and make
Pico governor.
