The Agrarian
r
Laws


Could do no more than the
Herald in its now famous di-
vision of land amongstthe peo-
pie. Any person who is now,
or will become a 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 800 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
giving free to subscribers:
"a good thing-push it along"-the
Herald combination proves to be a good
thing. received two more subscriptions
today 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
refutatlon to the Jealous charge of some
newspapers that the lots are worthless,
alkali, 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
artesian wells In the last month. He au-
thorlzed me to put an advertisement in
my paper that he would secure artesian
flows on the Herald addition to Laneas-
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 we'll on one of these lots
tor s. and take the subscription to the Ga.
zette 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
1900 acres OF growing fruit trees are 50
healthy and thrifty as to give the greatest
encouragement for future planting. In
another week the werk 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
Colesew push the work and expend
100000 in the system which will bring
several thousand more acres under cult
vation in that section.
Altogether the future for Antelope Val
ley looks very promising. Yours respect
fully, w. S. MELICK,
Editor Gazette.

COAL-Harrison's circular says: "During the
week there have been four arrivals from the north
ern collieries aggregating 879S tons OF Coal, and
ono arrival from Australia with 1910 tons. The
very light arrivals from British Columbia this
week demonstrate disposition to diminish ship
mentS from that section until the present large
stocks hero in yard shall be further reduced. AS
the weather has moderated the sales of fuel for
CRATE and house-heating purposes are almost NIL
and the British Columbia grades always the
first to feel the weather effects hence the present
accumulation. The almost daily inquiry has been
OF late, what shall we do with all the cargces of
Goals coming here from England and Australia?
and regardless of the quantity already listed, new
names are being daily added. AS fully 9O% of the
cargoeS loading and to be loaded have already
passed from first hands, decentralization of
values should take place, caused by the Offering of
unsold cargoes after arrival. With the simultane-
GUS arrival of Coal cargoes IN September, October
and November which must occur at periods dur
ing those months If there is not cooperation
and unity of action between the Coal receivers and
the grain shippers than in the past, there will be
anything but festive time along the wharves. Our

Among the Eastern cities there is q change for

At many of the cities throughout the Western

trade is reported good. AT Chicago the volume of

arguing from the standpoint of higher cables, light
receipts and of the strength manifested by corn.

the decline of Monday and Tuesday was made.

thorties leaves the trade in Il condition of doubb
and uncertainty, but as it is believed the crop is
open to injury and not to further Improvement,
the logical result is that buying is considered safer
than selling by people of conservative ideas.
Receipts at Chicago to-day were 40 cars and the
Northwest had rs. Withdrawals from store were
$500 bushels and 179,6S5 bushels cleared at the
seaboard September wheat opened from $3.50

receipts for tomorrow, so cars.
