The Devastating London Foo.

Epping Forest, one of the few remain
ing stretches OF primeval woodland in
the vicinity of London, is not alone sus-
tanning destruction by the invasion OF
rows of jaunty modern villas, but even
the trees that remain are becoming So
phisticated and cockney. The lichens
and cryptograms once so common in
the beautiful forest have almost entirely
disappeared, and the vanishing is attri-
buted to the encroachment Of London
fog and smoke. This is not far-fetched
idea, as is stated that the famous hop gar
dens of the County Kent, in the vicinity
OF Maidstone, thirty miles away from the
metropolis, sometimes show the effects
OF the London fog. One can readily un-
destand whyethe recent story by a sensa-
tional novelist of the sudden asphyxia-
ton OF the whole 100000 of people of the
great city, by means of q sudden and
dense fog, should have bred deep alarm.
and have started a discussion that will
not down, as to possible remedies.

MURDER OF BARRETT SCOTT.
Four Men Under Arrest Charged With
the Crime.


the Crime.
OMAHA, Jan. q. - A special to the
Omaha Bee from O'Neill says: Nose Ell
lott, Fred Harris, Merit Roy and Multi
han were tonight arrested and jailed
charged with numbering Barrett Scott.
They are believed to be members OF the
vigilance committee of farmers which is
commonly charged with the taking off of
Scott. Other warrants are out, and the
editor of an O'Neill paper left town sud
denly to-day, it is stated, through fear of
violence for attacking Scott editorially.
1t is reported that one OF the YIgilantes
has turned States evidence. There are
several facts that give color to this view,
and it is not explicitly denied. The
searching parties had previously ex-
plored portion of the river where the
BODY was found. They had dragged the
bottom within four feet of the very spot,
but without success. The successful
posse went almost to the exact spot, and
had hardly sank their grappling-i irons
into the water before they brought up the
quilt with which the body had been
wrapped.
1t is believed that Akin and one or two
others knew pretty nearly where TO look
for the body before they lett O'Neill, and
that they have important facts in their
possession, which VIII appear in due

The parts have sold as high as s.

VOTING BY MACHINE.
Fresno ExpositOr.I

An amendment to the Constitution has
been onered ID the Senate to permit vot-
ing to be done in this State by ballot or
by approved voting machines. The prin-
cipaI recommendation for the voting ma
chine is that it lessons the chance of fraud.
but the opportunity to make false returns
after the machine has done its work will
not be wholly removed. No machine
and no law will make men honest. Per-
haps pure elections and honest counts
would be promoted by the hanging of
few OF the scoundreis who make false re-
turns, read of the wrong names after the
ballots are cast and stuff registers and
ballot boxes. Until it is made dangerous
to commit frauds on the ballot, voting
machines will not accomplish what is
aimed at.

NOT A TRIUNNIRATE.
Los Angeles Times

San Francisco reformers would better
not allow their newly awakened zeal to
run away with their discretion. At the
mass-meeting held last Sunday among
other resolutions adopted there was one
to the effect THAT 'if any man is appointed
10 the office of Police Commissioner
against whom three responsible citizens
allege untitness for office, he shall not be
permitted to proceed III the discharge of
his duties.o Such a resolution is not
not only very foolish, but it breathes a
revolutionary spirit. Municipal govern
ment in California has not, up to date.
been committed to triumvirate OF three
responsible citizens" nor is it likely TO
be 1cr some time to come. If public Off
Gals, appointed or elected by constitu-
tiona! methods. fail in their duties,
through sins of omission or OF commits
sion, legal way tor their removal can

vision, either in the organic or statutory
law, for establishing a censorship of Off
clal morality, to be composed of three

VOICE OF THE PRESS.
bakersfield Californian


There is lot of misiuformation afioat
about railroad rates and alleged "discrim-
nations" in connection with the pro-
posed road TO Los Angeles, which is not
particularly creditable to those circulate
ing 1t, since the facts are so readily OBJ
talnable. Thus. it has been said that
overland freights to Los Angeles are less
than to San Francisco. AS a matter of
tact, they are identically the same. There
are seven terminal points, in this State
to which overland rates are tho same.
1hese are Sacramento, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Marysvilie, Oakland, san
Jose and Stockton. Neither place enjoys
particle OF advantage over the other in
that respect. 1t is also said that the
Southern Pacific Railroad discriminates
against Los angeles by charging higher
local rate from that place to San Joaquin
Valley points than il does from San Fran
cisco TO the Same places, thus forcing"
local merchants to trade with San Fran
cisco. This also is not true. The local
rates from Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco to San joaquin Valley points are
based entirely upon mileage. Ii given
point is nearer san Francisco than Los
Angeles it naturally follows that the rate
IS less from the tirst-namcd place than
from the last, and vice versa.

IN COMPARISON
July Figures as Compared With the San

July Figures as Compared With the San
Francisco Record
The San Francisco Post presents a re-
view of the building in the northern me.
tropolis during the month of July. and
the Daily Journal of this city makes
some apt comments thereon:
1.-The arteries Of real estate have a
heslty flow. There is a throbbing that
betokens healthy vitality" says the
Post. Then follow some gratulations
because of the business in San Francisco
for the past month. all of course on ac-
count of the building OF the Valley road.
In this review of the months business
the amount of sales of real estate is not
given, as San Francisco papers for some
reason do not give specific statements
about real estate transactions. 1t would
not look well when ompareu with Los An
gees. But the Bay City had such boom
in the building line that the papers felt
encouraged to give the figures. They
show that during the mouth the enor-
nous M Der Of l13 building permi is
were issued, the cost of which structures
was S463. 042. During the same time Los
Angeles issued 246 permits, and the total
cost OF these buildings was $637. 619. be-
Francisco. ln number Los Angeles built
little over two buildings to one in San
Francisco. In the average cost OF the
buildings the city to the north has a lit
tie advantage of us, the ngures being
$3933 there to S2551 here. This shows
that what activity there is in San Fran
cisco is confined TO the construction OF
large buildings in the business center,
while here they are largely residences for
the rapidly increasing number OF work.
ingmen who find employment in our
growing manufacturing establishments.
The Pest publishes another table show
ing the number of buildings erected and
thei. cost for the past seventeen years
from 1879 to 1898. inclusive. This table
discloses two surprising facts. First. in
no July since 1879 has San Francisco
ever erected so many buildings as did
Los Angeles in July last; and also, that
in every month of the current year Los
Angeles has built more structures than
San Francisco ever built in July since
1879.
Second, that the amount expended on
buildings in Los Angeles il July. 1895,
exceeded the cost OF buildings erected in
San Francisco during July of the years
from 1879 to 1895, with the exception of
four. viz: 1886, 1888. 1890 and 1891, and in
one of those years the excess was but
$4,000.
These figures show that Los Angeles is
growing in population and business
faster, in this year of business lassitude.

ception of four years, during the past

REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING
The Record for the First Week

Reports Of Scles Of Lots and Lands and Of

In Wow of the fact that August is the
month OF months during which Angelo

for the first week of the month is good
one.
During the week ended last night fifty
Fix permits we're issued for the construc-
tion of buildings whose aggregate est-
mated cost is S1Os. Ass. AS might be ex-
pected from the nun ber of store buildings
recently begun. the large majority of
new buildings are mIddle-class dwelling
houses. though there is fair proportion
OF stores and expensive residences. The
building which represents the invest
ment of the largest amount of money is
q three-story brick to be erected on BroaG
way between Fourth and Fifth. The per-
nit was issued to George s. Patton, own
er, J. T. Hanlon, builder, and the cost
is stated to be 500, 900. The building will
contain stores below and rooms and Of
fees on the upper floors. Another store
building is TO be constructed for Mrs.
Anna Miner on tho West side of Main
street between Fourth and Fifth, to con-
sst of three stories and basement and to
be used for store and lodging house. pur-
poses. The cost is given as $12, 800. Mes
srs. Clark & Bryan will also put up q
brick building at the corner of Main and
Washington streets at an estimated cost
of $10 900, and Omstead & Hickock have
engaged Spaulding Bros, builders, to
construct two-story brick block on Main
street between Winston and Fifth streets.
The most expensive residence for which
a permit was issued was one to be
erected for Joe Meier, f. G. Luentzel
builder. The new house is to be situated
at the corner of Sixteenth and Figueroa
streets, will be OF two stories and cost
$1,000. There are nun Der OF dwelling
houses scattered all over the ci,y, to cost
from $500 to $2500, the remainder of the
list being made up of houses of less cost,
for the most part to be occupied by the
owners as dwellings.
All things considered. the work of the
week indicates that there is no cessation
of building activity, and though it Is
scarcely likely that the record of the
month will equal the tremendous ad
vance noted during July: it seems GER
tain that the growth of the city, as indi-
Gated by new buildings, will be grea ter
than can be seen anywhere else in the
country in cities of like population.
