THE BEST BOOT OF ALL,

The most substantial and gratifying
evidence of progress that any city can
show Is the building Of small houses, and
Los Angeles is in position to offer Lh at
evidence today to a striking degree. Dur
ing the past twelve months on an average
five new residences have been completed
daily. The last census shows popula-
ton for Los Angeles of 80. 900 people. We
venture the statement without fear of
contradiction, that no city in the union
having twice that population in 1890, is
today constructing any such numb Der of
houses.
An average house will contain a man
and his WIFE, three children and an extra
person, either a servant or relative.
Those that contain less are more than off
set by those that contain more. Taking
six therefore as the basis of the calcula-
tions, we find that five new houses day
means-if they are all occupied thirty
new people a day or 900 month, over
10, 600 year.
Are the new houses all occupied? Let
any man who has been seeking a house
to rent answer this question. Let anyone
who has driven about through the sec
tons of the city where the new houses
are going up answer it. A Ito let" sign
Is rarity which one may travel many
blocks to see. The fact is bait few of these
new houses are built for renting purposes
nearly all of them are constructed by peo-
pie of moderate means who intend to use
them as homes.
Other things are good, but the building
of many homes is best of all.
The herald., 1895-04-02
JAIL INMATES

1t is reported that the County jail con-
tains only ITO inmates, which is said to
be the smallest number ever held at one
time since the building was constructed.
This is a gratifying fact, and one that de-
serves more than passing notice. In the
avs of the boom and the period immedi-
ately preceding, although the population
of Los Angeles was but little more than
half what it is today, the County Jail
contained nearly three times its present
number of inmates. The falling off in
numbers shows not only that smaller
amount of vagrancy and crime exists here
now than then but also that better meth
DDS prevail for the treatment of the
tramp.
The mild winter climate of Southern
for vagabUnds of all sorts, and as the
country increases in wealth and popula-
ton this species of human vermin will
flock to it more and more. A large per-
centage of the professionals that are gath
cred into the county Jail during the win
ter are Eastern tramps who beat their way
to this coast in order to escape the excess
i've cold weather they would have to en-
dure elsewhere. There are some places
where bad reputation is good thing to
have, and the more inhospitable and
comfoItless this country can be made to
seem to the tramp fraternity the better
for US. Evidently this section is not as
popular as it was with the earlier vags,
and it is to be hoped that the brake beam

to change it. But all the mbers of the
Senate are not on terms of intimacy with
Mr.. Huntington, and the majority of
them are disposed to take careful thought
in a matter that concerns the commercial
welfare of several hundred thousand
people.
Although Congress is no. in session,
the friends OF San Pedro should not al
low their cause to suffer from neglect. In
the reorganized Senate committee on
commerce Mr.. Frye of Maine will be
chairman. and Mr.. Jones of Santa Monica
an active member. The Southern Pacific
never sleeps. Mr.. Huntington's best sue
cesses are won by work accomplished
while it is supposed that an armistice
prevails. Let no one deceive himself with
the belief that the fight for free harbor
is more than fairly begun. Eternal vigil
ance is the price OF anything won from
the Southern Pacific. and nothing less
than that will give success to the cause of
a free harbor.

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY
z. G. Grenier Injured in an Electric
Street Car Accident
His Horse Becomes Unmanageablc and Car
Dashes Into the Buggy, Utterly
Demoiishing II

| q. G. Grenier lies at the police station,
unconscious, awaiting death, which with
him is only question of few hours.
Yesterday aftt moon Mr.. Grenier was
! driving his horse and buggy on Pasadena
avenue in East Los Angeles, just north OF
| the river. The animal became frightened
, at passing electric car and started to
run. 1t crossed the track diagonally IN
| front of the car. The motorman was I'M
able to stop it and the car crashed into
| the buggy.
Mr.. Grenier was thrown to the ground
, with great force, striking on his head
| and receiving fatal injury.
] The horse escaped unlnJured, but the
| buggy was a complete wreck.
| No one who happened to be around at
/ the time was acquainted with the unfor-
| tunate man. The patrol wagon was sum-
moned and he was at once removed TO the
receiving hospital. DIR. Bryant made
an examination of his injuries and aus
| covered fracture of the skull at the base
of the brain. The right eye was badly
blackened, but otherwise there was no
injury visible on the body. DR.. Bryant
at once recognized the fact that death
within short time was inevitable, and
he therefore proceeded to do all that he
could to relieve the sufferings o: the in
jured man in case he should aagin recov-
er consciousness.
The first inforamtion Cceived by the
police was to the effect that the dying
mans name was Fisher Accordingly
several officers were dispatched to East
Los Angeles to notify his family. One of
the sons of an old gentleman named
Fisher came to the receiving hospital and
identified the injured man. He lives at
Garvanza on Budlong street, the third
house from Cypress avenue. He is 65
years DID, and save his wife has no
family.
Policemen were sent late last evening
to inform Mrs. Grenier of the condition
of her husband.
At midnight she had not yet arrived at
the hospital. DR.. Bryant then announced
that if Grenier lived six hours it would
be marvellous.
At 1920 the old gentleman died with
out ever having regained consciousness.
At II 40 his wife arrived at the hospital,
having driven in with a friend from Gar
vanza. Sle was unable to speak English.
1t was determined not to inform her of
her husbands death until this morning.
She was told of the accident and was
then taken to hotel.

WILLBEA CADET
Jack Muir Wins the Competitive
Examination for Annapolis

Mr.. "Jack" Muir, son of ]. A. Muir
superintendent of the Southern Pacific
Railway in this city, turns out to be the
successful competitor at the recent ex-
animation of applicants for appointment
to the Government Naval Academy at
Annapolis. it being ascertained yester-
day that he was the mo. As" who re-
ceived the highest credits. The examina-
ton was deputed by Congressman Mac.

School, none of whom knew the appli-
cants except by the numbers they drew
by lot as designations. SO that there was
no chance for Partially to be shown.
The successful young man, however, is
not vet assured of his right to wear shout
der straps, for next month he will have to
stand another examination at Annapolis.
If he passes that he will be at once in
stalled as cadet; if he should fail, the
one who came next to him at the local
examination will stand a chance.
There is 10 reason to expect, however,
that young Mr. Muir will have any diff
Guilty in establishing himself, as the or
deal he passed through at the hands OF the
normal school teachers was especially Sc
we're. He is but just past 10 years OF age,
but has particularly fine mental qualities
and undoubtedly will turn out to be an
officer who will be credit to his country

THE CAUSE OF SAN PEDRO

The Senate committee on commerce, in
whose hands will be the decision as to the
location of The deep water harbor for Los
Angeles, will not formally visit Southern
California this spring. The resolution
authorizing the visit failed to receive the
sanction of the Senate. chiefly because
that body will be reorganized by the Re
publican majority, and it is not possible
at this time to know exactly who will
constitute the committee on commerce.
Several places remain to be filed, and no
one can say at this time by whom they
will be occupied.
1t is expected that several members of
the present committee will visit the Coast
during the coming summer, and they will
in all probability inspect the Government
site and the Southern Pacific site, and
will doubtless frame an opinion as to
which is the best for the country. For
tunately the case speaks for itself. The
friends of the free harbor have nothing to
lose and everything to gain in close in
spection. Any man who will ride along
the high cliff at Port Los Angeles, where
Huntington and his friends own all the
land in sight, if he is disinterested, can
scarcely resist the conviction that the
construction of a breakwater at that point
means nothing but the improvement of
an exclusive Southern Pacific narbor. 1t

THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ORANGE

The planting of citrus trees in Northern
California. though only done so far in
limited degree, has developed the fact
that there is a marked difference between
the Southern California orange and that
grown elsew here in this state. As a rule
in all orange-growing countries the sum-
mer heat is high and continuous through
out the entire twenty four hours. but
Southern California is a peculiar exception
to this rule. This high temperature de-
velops very large amount of sugar and
produces very sweet orange. The for
eign and Florida oranges all show this
large percentage of saccharine matter In
their composition, and the Northern Cali
fornia orange possesses the same charac-
teristc. And not only is the orange
sweeter when grown i'll the steadily high
summer temperature, but it ripens earlier
than ours. Some people have been in
clined to look upon the cool nights
of Southern California as an obsta-
Gle to its future success in citrus
culture but quite the contrary is the
fact. Chemical analysis has proven that
the Southern California orange, as rule,
possesses as much sugar as any orange
grown in the world, and in addition
thereto it contains usually five times as
much citric acid as any other orange. 1t
is this com binaton of sweet and sour
which gives to our oranges that peculiarly
piquant flavor which makes them the de-
light of connoisseurs everywhere. The de-
velopment of the large percentage of citric
acid in our oranges is traceable directly
to the cool nights of summer, while the
percentage of sugar is kept up by our
longer period of warm days, extending
often for the full twelve months, from
blossoming trees to ripening fruit
