SANTA BARBARA, Dec. An In

among the Santa Ynez tribe at Zanja

drinking whisky in one of the adobe huts
and two Of the men became engaged in a
drunken fight. One of the oombatants
fell to the flour and was rapidly getting
the worse of it, when by q desperate effort
he released himself, and sud emily Selling

Officers were summoned at once and the
Indian who did the shooting was locked
up in the Santa Ynez calaboose. The
wounded red skin fingered for several

TRUSTEE BARTON RESIGNS
City Trustee Ii. NJ. Barton has decided
to resign. itisresignation will probably
be filed at the meeting OF the board of
city trustees next Tuesday evening, TO
take effect not later than January 1st.
MIR. Barton's reasons for resigning are
purely of business nature. He is now
connected with anu expects soon to be
Interested in enterprises which will come
before the board of city trustees and con-
corning whose franchises the board will
shortly be called upon to take action.
In view OF these considerations Mr..
Barton does not think that he should
continue to act as member of the board
and take part in city legislation in which
be may be directly or indirectly inter-
ested in. He has therefore concluded to
sever his connections with the board.
Mr.. Barton has represented the Second
ward in the BOARD for nearly three years,
and the people of that prpcnct as we'll
as in the city generally will very much
regret his decision to withdraw, but fiom
the reas ons which have urged him to the
decision, nothing can be done to change
the situation.
~ GENERAL FIELD DAY.
The general field day which has besn
talked of for some time has at last been
definitely planned for, except as to date,
and it will bring together the best ath.

was rather disastrous to Bradley. At the

E'RE1E3!Y
The Lumber Trade

Considerable speculation is being
INDUCED in, says the Northwestern
Lumberman, by the newspapers as to
the position which the next congress
will take in respect to the tariff ques-
ton. 1t is understood that there viii.
be no attempt at general revision OF
the tariff as it stands, for even though
the lower house might pass such bill
it is possible that it might not get
through the senate, and more than
likely that presidential veto would
meet it at the white house. The con-
sensus of opinion seems to be, however,
that an attempt will be made to in
crease the revenue of the government
through legislation which shall place
a tariff on some articles now included
in the freelist Among the articles
which have been mentioned in this
connection is lumber. If any leglsla-
ton can be secured to restore the duty
on lumber, this paper is in favor OF
such legislation first, last and all the
time. Canadian competition is begin
ming to be badly felt along the border
states, and although somewhat curtail-
ed by the recent decision of the board
of general appraisers on the dressed
lumber" question, is not to be consid-
cred lightly. Now that there is q
prospect of securing relief, the oppor-
tunity should not be neglected. Lead
ers in congress are not disposed to
commit themselves in the face of
next years presidential campaign,
and there may be disposition to
dodge the issue on the grounds of
anticipated administrative opposition,
but that is an excuse which cannot be
accepted veto would leave the lum-
Der industry no worse off than it is at
present. If every lumberman in the
country who is interested in reviving
the duty on lumber write letter to
that effect to his senators and con-
gresham, the chances are that con-
gress would take early and favorable
action on the question. Let congress
hear from the lumber interests.

The Russian Thistle.

The Russian thistle, which many
congressman laughed at as a mere
local weed of the Dakotas, for the ex-
termination OF which the people of
those states should rely upon them
selves, has turned up in the East and
bids fair to become little short of a ma
tional nuisance. The spiny, rigid
thing was brought from Russia to
South Dakota in 1873. 1t has spread
over not only the prairie states west
of the Mississippi river, but has been
found also in Illinois and Indiana.
When dried and broken off by the
wind, it goes travelling far and wide,
scattering its matured seeds every
where to the detriment of every COM
munity in which it lodges. Its spines
injure cattle, clog farm machinery,
and in general it has all the attributes
of pest.
Recently the thistle has appeared on
| the Atlantic coast. 1t was first noticed
in the Jersey City yards of the West
Shore railroad, and will no doubt
spread to places where it can do more
damage. The transplanting from the
Western prairies to Eastern hillsides
should have been perhaps not unex-
pected. The establishment of unbrok-
en- lines of railway between East and
West and the dispatch of through
trains between widely separated points
has already resulted in the introduce
ton of Western plants East and
Eastern plants West. Weeds seem to
delight in travelling by rail and 1T is
now easy to find all varieties at the
terminals and along the routes of the
great transportation lines. The Rus
sian thistle has now taken to wander
ing, and 1T would not be surprising if
it appeared quite generally all over
the country. Taking advantage of
the experience of the people in Dakota,
methods should be devised for roofing
1t out whenever it appears, if such
thing can be done. These obnoxious
plants thrive when left alone, and the
Russian thistle should not be allowed
to get such Roadway as to make the
determination mpossible-PI.

Profits of Fruit Growing.

Col. N. H. Owings' long residence in
Thurston county, Wash, and business
ability, together with habits of close
observation, fit him to speak with au-
thority on the facts and figures given
in an article lately prepared by him on
fruit growing in this section and the
adaptibility of soil and climate for this
industry. Col. Owings asserts that in
fruit raising can be found the solution
of the hard times problem, and, as an
example, shows that within radius of
ten miles around Olympia alone there
are 13O, 692 acres of good fruit land not
under cultivation, which, if divided
into equal parts for the production of
the four most marketable fruits, viz,
apples, prunes, strawberries and ship
ping cherries, for the cultivation of
each OF these four products this acreage
would amount to 32,673. The cultiva-
ton, handling and shipping of the APP
pies alone would require 3,267 men
every working day in the year, while
it would take "a, 500 cars to ship them
to market. To cultivate, pick, box and
ship the strawberries will require TO-
S91 men every working day in the
year, and 1901 cars to transport the
fruit to market. TO cultivate, box and
ship the prunes will require 5,446 men,
every working day in the year, and
take 1858 cars to ship them away.
The cherries, to cultivate, pick, box
and ship, will need $3.50 men and &c.
2lO cars to transport them to market.
This gives total of 25,O54 men en-
ployed every working day in the year,
and SS,2S7 cars to send the fruit to
market. at ten tons to the car, provid-
ed the product is shipped green. Ii
dried or canned it would not require SO
many. This land, which is not pro-
duclng anything at the present time
and is practically without value, would
add to the taxable property of the
county $39, 2O7 600. A low average
crop of the four fruits named will fur
nish 882,S7O tons of fruit, which at
prices no higher than were paid for
fruit in the county this tall would bring
to this county total annual revenue
OF $40, 1OI 200. Mr.. Owings then pro-
ceeds To show the absurdity of the cry
of ovcrproduction OF fruit, and makes
light Of the idea this small section
could livestock the Eastern markets.
He also assures the would-be fruit
grower that when the fruit output is
such as to justify canneries and driers,
they will be here ready to take care of |
the surplus fruit.-Fairhaven Herald
