Councilman Crawford, at the regu-
lar meeting OF the council Tuesday even
ing, made motion that the city street
sprinkler be sold. This motion was sec
onded by Baker, but as no further sup
port conld be gained for the proposition,
it was lost, and the city will still retain
it's sprinkler. 1t is difficult TO see what
object could be gained by selling SO i'm
portant an adjunct to the city as the
sprinkler, and there are but few but re-
ioice at the defeat of so wild scheme.

says that large number of his Dakota

there will be large emigration from the

PULLMAN'S PAGAN.
A Robbers Roost is Unearthed in This
City
It Proved the Solution of Many Myster-
ious Disappearance.

During the past few months the citi-
zens OF Pullman have missed many little
articles that had, apparently, walked
away without assistance, but the mys-
terry has at last been solved, and the den
of Pagan unearthed.
G.. 2. allen is a student at the agrl-
cultural college, and in company with
another young man keeps bachelors hall
insthe building formerly used as an Of
fee at the old brick yard. On returning
to the place Monday morning after an
absence of about a week Mr.. Allen found
that the bulk of his household goods, in
cluding bed, dishes, eatabes, ETC., had
Joined the long list OF mysterious dlsap-
pearances, and he had but little else than
bare walls to give him the comforts and
necessities Of life, but he did not remain
long inactive, and after short ex err
ience in the detective line called on
Police Judge Merriman, the result being
a search warrant issued and placed IN
the hands of the officers, the party sus-
picioned of knowing the whereabouts OF
the missing property being one W. II.
Brown, who with his family resides IN
the little house located between the rail-
road tracks near the Hollingshead prop
erty. In searching the premises Mr..
Allen found his property, and Mr.. Brown
was Immediately placed under arrest
charged with their theft.
While the officers were searching the
place Tuesday they found numerous ar
tices that they. believed had been stolen,
and the following day they returned tc
the house accom- panied by number o1
citizens who had lost property, but not a
thing was in sight; all had mysteriously
disappeared during the night. After an
other careful search, however, the ar
ticles were found hidden between cell
ings and elsewhere about the house, anc
Frank Mathewson identified certain
tools, and Ross Crawford others, as be-
!. ing their property.
Three charges OF petty larceny were
thus placed against Browns name, anC
after passing night in the city jail he
decided that discretion was the better
part of valor, and pleaded guilty on al
three charges. Merriman's prescription
was $25 fine and costs on two OF the
charges, and ten days in the county jai
on the other. AS he will live it all out
in iail Pullman will be out one count on
the census for just fifty days.

Over 10 different kinds of food fish can
be caught in the bay and outside waters,

1000, 600 pounds of cured fish are shipped

MINING INTERESTS.
One would think that with such a
wealth OF resources ON the surface, the
people of San Diego and vicinity would
be content TO leave the bowels of the earth
in peace but instead they have burrowed
until mines of exceeding richness have
been developed. Gold is the chief output.
over $3, 900, 900 have already been mined
in the Julian district alone. Iron. tin
and cement are found in the county, and
there are several marble and granite quar-
rieS.
The county is divided into five districts,
each being represented by a supervisor.

county officers and have jurisdiction over

FL Cajon valley is about twelve miles
long and from three to five wide, and
contains nearly $1,000 acres. 1t lies four
teen miles east of San Diego and boasts a
population of about 1000. There are hum
dreds of beautiful sites for homes and al
ready there are many fine dwellings that
stand in the midst of orange groves, and
are surrounded by ornamental trees and
shrubbery in great variety. The orchards
and vineyards will compare favorably with
any in Southern California. Oranges,

CITY GOVERNMENT.
The present city government was organ
lied April Is. 1887, making the city Of the
fourth class. There is mayor and two
legislative bodies, Il chamber of aldermen
and board Of delegates, which together
constitute the common council. The
rate of taxation is one dollar and since
1872 the assessed valuation of property has
increased from 1885, 354 to $14, 406. 92S.
The limit to which the city may be bond
ed is 10 per cent OF the valuation assessed.
The amount of bonds outstanding at
present is as follows:
Municipal improvement bonds SOB, 000
interest per cent school bonds. $56, 600,
interest per cent; sewer bonds, S275, 000
interest per cent; total. 1884 900.
The business portion OF the city occupies

overland line enters the city, but there
are several railroad projects before the
people now, any one of which will help
the situation enormously. As far as COM
munication with the adjacent districts is
concerned the railroad arrangements
could not be better, as there are lines to
the north, the east and the west, which
extend as lar as there is any develop
ment; one line running back over fifty
miles to the mountains which separate
the coast belt from the Colorado desert.
This line traverses a section which for
varied resources and richness of soil is
unexceled. There are two lines to Ma
tional City. and all the beach resorts both
north ana south of the city can be reached
by rail. as well as Tia Juana across the
line in Lower Caliiorr ia, a part of the
Mexican republic. Two OF the railroad
schemes now being perfected provide for
overland lines-one to Phoenix, Arizona,
and the other to extend northward into
Utah. Both propositions are looked upon
with favor and promise to be successfully
accomplished in the near future.
An excellent example OF the manner in
which the citizens of San Diego unite
in fostering the interests of their city is
found in the liberal support given the
Chamber of Commerce. All the leading
men are liberal subscribers of this organ
ization, which, through its officers, is

a large territory, wherr neufy every COM
mercial industry in the United States is
carried on. The business blocks as rule
are handsome structures and the stores
will b. found u be. furnished with every
modern appliance. In looking over the
stock of one merchant | discovered one
could purchase all the staple dry goods at
a price no higher than would he paid for
similar articles in any of the great en-
poriums in Chicago or New York city.
Many of the merchants do not depend
wholly on commercial travellers for pur-
chasing their goods. but go east yearly
and buy directly from the great commits
sion houses. thereby obtaining the best
in the market at much lower figure
than they could get from the jobbers who
send representatives out at great expense.
The banking business OF the communi-
ty is transacted by two national instltu-
tons and several private banks with large
capital and unquestioned credit, ana
there are several commission houses that
conduct a general stock brokers business.
Over $780, 600 has been expended for
wharfag facilities, including coal bunkers
with capacity of $50, 900 gross tons. The
wharf on which these bunkers are located
has track connecting it with the South
crn California Railroad, and ships are un-
loaded directly into the cars. There is
also large grain house OF ample capac-
ity. With view OF improving the pres
ent facilities the city is making strong
effort to obtain a state appropriations for
the construction of a sea wall along the
bay front. which would make available
many acres of tideland Apropos of the
shipping interests, it is noticeable that
every San Diegap. whether interested di-
rectly in that particular industry or not.
is vitally interested in the passage of the
Nicaraguan canal bill. 1t is their great
dream of the future, as it will be of more
beneht to San Diego than any other
measure relating TO the Pacific Coast that
was ever introduced.
