The Rev. Burt Estes Howard preached
an excellent sermon at the First Presby-

the subject, Freedmen. In part lie spoke
as follows:

country found itself confronting such 4,
condition as none other ever faced. TIE
cor monwealth was intact, vet the Coher-

poverty. 1t was a South that walked
amid the wreck of her former slorv
stunned, bitter, helpless. The emanci-
patton al her slaves removed her sole
means OF support IN the system that had
prevailed, and the devastation of war
mad left her homeless and beggared.
With paralyzed hands she .tood amid the
fields that grim visaecd carnage had
plowed with cannon, sowed vita bullets
and watereu with the blood of her chill

Evangelist Romig addressed a large
audience last night at tho first Christian

"Wherewlthal shall a young man cleanse

taking heed thereto according to His
word" Every soul oneht TO be thrilled

The Agrarian

Could do no more than the
Herald in its now famous d.
vision of land amongst the peo-
pie. Any person who is now,
or will become yearly sub
scriber to The Herald, will be
entitled to a lot in The Herald
subdivision in the town of
Lancaster. No additional
charge except Sl.OO for notary
fee.
The following letter to the Herald from
the editor of the Lancaster Gazette shows
the character of the lots the Herald is
givingfree TO subscribers:
"a good thing-push it along"-thc
Herald combination proves to be a good
thing. | received two more subscriptions
TO-DAY from those who want the Gazette,
Herald and the Lancaster lot. SO hurry
up that new map. The fact that those
living here desire these lots is sufficient
refutation to the Jealous charge of some
newspapers that the lots are worthless,
aliali, fake properties. Both lots taken
today are by Lancaster business men and
one OF them wishes to improve his lot at
once. Our principal well borer was in
my office yesterday He has put down IL
artesan wells in the last month. He au
thorized me to put an advertisement in
my paper that he would secure artesian
flows on the Herald addition to Lancas-
ter at one-half the usual price. He knows
as we all do that the water supply for
both surface water and artesian water is
abundant and easily gotten. A man Of
fered to dig well on one of these lots
for IS and take the subscription to the Ga
lelte as part pay.
More alfalfa will be put in this season
than was in the valley altogether before
There also will be hundreds of acres set
to fruit trees in the valley this year. The
700 acres of growing fruit trees are so
healthy and thrifty as to give the greatest
encouragement for future planting. In
another week the work will be begun at
Palmdale according to a contract signed
last week, by which the flood waters OF
Little Rock creek will be stored. The
Coles will push the work and eXpend
$4,000 in the system which will bring
several thousand more acres under cult

GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION
What Was Accomplished With This
Large Sum of Money
In Four and One.iIalf Years An Amount Of
Honey Is Dsalt Out That Is
Appalling

In the last four years sos, 3l6.05 is the
sum total of the taxpayers money that
has boon spent on the roads and high
ways Of Los Angeles county. Rather to
be more exact this is the gigantic sum
that was dealt out with lavish hand
from January l. 1891. to June 3d. 1898.
The sum is almost $500, 900 and where has
it gono to? What has besn accom- plishei
by its dispensatioa as far as the practical
result and aim-good roads--is con-
cerned?
The money hns bean spent under the
direct authority of the board OF supervis-
urs. 1t has peen wasted by thousands OF
dollars. Is it to be wondered that the
grand jury that is now IN session would
consider the matter OF road expenditures
a proper subject for investigation? Is 1t
to be wondered that the grand jurors
have determined to find out what has
become OF the money that has been and
is every month drawn ont of the county
treasury by Tom, Dick and Harry. and
simply charged up to road expenditures?

A TwO-StOry Tree.

On the bank of the river Oder, in.
grows a maple tree which is one of
the most remarkable works of art in
existence; for though a tree, and to
that extent a natural object, it. has
been trained, twisted and cut until
it has become more like a house than
a tree.
The tree is a hundred years old, and
through the greater part of this time
the work of cutting and twisting has
been going on. The trunk rises from
the ground much like that Of any
other tree; but a fight of steps leads
to the first level, where the branches
have been gradually woven together
until q firm and leafy floor has been
made.
Above this is a second floor. smaller
in diameter, and formed in the same
way. Around each floor the branches
have been woven into solid walls,
making two circular rooms Each OF
these rooms is lighted by eight win.
dows, cut through the walls OF
branches and foliage.
Below the first floor, at the level OF
| the second, and at the top Of the tree
the branches have been allowed tC
| grow naturally, while the intermediate
walls and the edges OF the window
| openings are kept closely trimmed.
These tree-rooms are occasionally
used as 4 sleeping apartment in sum
mer. The old tree is in a healthy con
dition, and promises to remain rs &;
curiosity for many years.
