SINGLE SIDED TRADING

Every Californian who produces any
thing for eastern cOnsum ption is adding
TO the wealth of the state, and every Calf
fornian who buys an eastern -mlde article
when he might get the same article oi
california manufacture is taking away
the wealt1 OF the state.-Oakland Times.
Truly this is a beautiful theory; the
philosophy of keeping the same cake
that you have eaten. Just how the prod
ucts OF California are to be disposed of in
the east, unless given away. without tax
ing something from the east in return. a
past master Of the fraternity believing
that country should be jackass of all
trades. might explain. Nobody else can.
OF course, if he were away up in the order
he would come to time promptly with the
assertion that we 'could take their
money" But as we cannot eat, drink or
wear money, even Mckinley might admit
that in the end it would have to be spent
again in the east. Hence in the last an
alysis we would have an exchange of
California products for eastern products,
People cannot sell without buying.
OF course we should produce whatever
we need in California when we can do so
cheaper than we can get it elsewhere. If
we do differently we certainly are taking
away the wealth of the state But we
do not need and should not encourage
any other kind of production. 1t is the
ignorance Of elementary economic princi-
pies implied in the above Quotation that
is responsible for such legislation as the

WALLACE THE MASHER
Professional Seducer Found Guilty O
Bctraying Mamie Gates

A Profession Seducer Found Guilty Of
Betraying Mamie Gates
The case of G. r. Wallace will be
warming for men who trif1e with the affec
tions of misguided young women. and
ruin them under promise of marriage.
Unless these promises are made publicly,
which they never are, it is hard to secure
conviction against these vile creatures.
In the trial OF Wallace however. there
was developed enough evidence to con-
vince the jury that he had deliberately
lied to little Mamie Gates in order to ruin
her, and that he had gore back on his
promise of marriage as soon as he discov-
cred that she was in delicate condition.
and entitled to the protection of his
name. After he had heartlessly cast Off
tho poor little giri, hardly more than 16,
he had the hardihood to marry another
girl and drag her into the odious compli
cations following his unmanly conduct.
The jury yesterday found after an
hours federation that Wallace was guilty
of having seduced Mamie Gates last Au-
gust in Monroyia and Judge Smith set
the time of his sentence for Monday
morning. 1t is ALLEGED of the man who
will have to do penance for this offence
that he was a professional seducer and
that several young women i'll the subur-
ban districts of Azusa and Monrovia have
reason to curse the day they listened to
his blandish ments.

THE TOOTHsOME HOG

The number of hogs slaughtered in the
United States for the year ending May
l, 1895, was 2l.6lO 900, for which the
packers paid $232, OOo, 900. There is money
in hogs.
OF course, nearly all of this vast
amount of pork was produced east of TIE
Rocky mountains. And if hog raising
will pay in region afflicted with so
many disadvantages, it certainly should
be an exceptionally profitable industry in
Southern California. In our corn and
falfa we have the most healthful and
nutritious of foods for swine, while the
climatic conditions are SO favorable here
that the porker reaches degree of de-
velopment astounding to the eastern far
mer. The prices that rule here-5,s to G
cents per pound. in the carcass, would
seem to offer ample inducements for en-

MRS. DAVIS SORROWS
Her Husband and Q Son Turn Against He

Her Husband and Son Turn Against Her to
Deprive Her Of Her Rights
In department five the case OF Sarah j.
Davis against Lewis Davis was on trial
yesterday.
Sarah married Lewis Davis at Jefferson
vile, Ind, in 1854, and the issue of the
marriage was seven children, one of
them, George, being now minor, lit
tie more than ten years OF age. In 1893,
while the Davises were residing at Arte-
sia, within this county, Lewis conduct,
according to his wife's allegations, be-
came downright cruel to her, and he gave
her beating with his fist in November
Of that year. The following day he caused
the publication of notice in the Nor
walk paper announcing that his wife had
gone crazy and warning the public against
transactng business with her. After that
he deserted Mrs. Daviss and tailed to pro-
vide for her. She had no separate estate,
but laid claim to the property of Davis
as being community property. 1t consists
of farming land in the Cerritos rancho
and of considerable personal goods and
chattels.
She also averred that most of this prop
erty had been placed in the name of
Thomas Davis, one of the sons. by her
husband, for the purpose of cheating her
out of her rights. The answer of defend
ant was general denial.

LIVING WATER

A most remarkable instance illustrative
Of the advances made by science as de-
tector of the causes Of disease and death,
comes from Stanford, Connecticut. In
that place recently about 1856 people were
taken sick with typhoid fever. After a
careful investigation the health board as
cerssined that the sickness came from
milk furnished by man who purchased
the article from various dairymen, but
served it from his own cans. He was in
the habit of washing these cans with
water from a particular we'll. The health
officials analyzed this water and found
nearly 10000 living germs in one cubic
ccntimetre. OF course the water was
tabooed as far as drinking purposes were
concerned. Incidentally we might re-
mark that it is daily becoming more evil
dent that Adams ale'' is not what it
is cracked up to be by Prohibltionists.
No wonder the Kentuckian is afraid of it.

He Turns Over SS6,247.So Into the County
Treasury Under Protest
County yAssessor Theodore Summerland
yesterday addressed two communications
to County Auditor q. +. Bicknell, certify
ing that the amount of state poll tax col
lected by him during the month of March.
1895, was SLASH; the amount of road poll
tax $3.50 and that of taxes collected on
personal property $ll. 1860, a total of
500. 9.1796S. During April the state poll
tax collected by him was 81, 1885, road
poll tax, $2126, and taxes on personal
property. $l2. 5s0.87, a total of S27, 062.S7.
In making these settlements the county
assessor claimed that he had the right to
retain as compensation and commission
for the collection of all such taxes So. 34s.5
for March and $2927. 10 of April. In view
ney by the board OF supervisors to COM
these sums which Mr.. Theodore summer.
land had decided to retain, he had come
to the conclusion to make the settlement
of all of them without taking credit for
the amounts he benveed himself entitled
to. but he stated that such settlement was
made under duress. and with his protest.
He reserves the right to sue for and col
lect the sums he claims are due him for
services in collecting these taxes.
The assessor was then authorized by
the auditor to turn in the sum OF S56,
242. 50 into the county treasury and did so.
The amount of money which the county
tax collector turned into the county treas
ury yesterday, under the auditors war;
rant. was S2Sl, 3s5. Is. This vast sum rep
resents county taxes paid in.

A Committee Of Fifteen Appointed to Arrange
Finishing Touches
The meeting of the committee of one
hundred called by Chairman Eastman for
the purpose Of taking further steps ook-
ing toward the annexation of Pico
Heights. Rosedale, Harper Tract, Univer-
sity and Vernon, took place last night at
the chamber OF comm cree. The gather
ing was largely attended.
Colonel Eastman was elected permanent
chairman, j. NJ. Smith secretary, and
E. Luke treasurer. Several motions were
lost an then motion was made that a
committee of fifteen be appointed to take
charge Of the petition for annexation
to the council, which is to be circulated
for signatures; The following names

man: Messrs. I. l.. Lee, Captain Walker
and H. r: Smith. Vernon; J. F.. Jen-

H. Webber and f. r. Slaught, Univer-
sity.
A committee of three, consisting of
Messrs. +. A. Eastman. G. E. Dixon and
". r. Hagan. was appointed to solicit
tine good offices of the chamber of COM
niece in the matter OF annexation.
Colonel Messmore. chairman OF tn e
boundary committee, suggested that the
committee OF fifteen be requested to con-
fer with the COMMITTEES on boundaries to
settle the lines OF the districts to be an
nexed beyond misunderstanding.
Several suggestions were received for
the inclusion Of more territory within
the proposed annexation hnes notably
from G. NJ. Wells, who spoke in favor
OF the Seventh street extension district.
Mr.. Del Castillo of Rosedale suggested
the propriety OF campaign literature and
eloquent speakers to overcome the oppo
sition of those in the different districts
who are lnimical to annexation. The
committee of fifteen announced J. B. Ne
vile as its chairman and Z. W. Grannis,
secretary. 1t was then arranged that the
committee meet, that on boundaries on
Wednesday night at University. The gen
eral committee will meet on next Saturday
evening at the same place.

THE BRIGADE nEADouARrER.

The warning sounded by The Herald,
that there is danger of losing the First
brigade headquarters, has had the effect
of arousing some of the press from their
apathy regarding this matter. And our
protest has also attracted the gubernato-
rial mind and attention. 1t is now an
nounced that Governor Budd has strongly
intimated his intention of appointing the
b.igadier-general tor the First from Los
Angeles, and that of course will leave
the headquarters here, where they should
be. But it IS just as well that those in
terested persevere in their efforts until
the subject is finally adjusted. The in
fluences at work elsewhere may turn the
scale at any time if we relax our efforts.

WHY WE HAVE PROGRESSED

But it was of Los Angeles we would
specially speak. That city has forged
ahead remarkably-it has passed Oakland
in population by sheer force OF enterprise,
push and unity OF purpose which never
fails of success. We give the people OF
that city the credit they deserve and com
pllment them upon the wisdom and har-
mony of their action. Just note the fact
the chamber of commerce has mem Der
ship of 900 business men, all working ~
harmony for Los Angeles! How could
they fail?-Oakland Times.
The above we modestly submit is the
truth. not the whole truth, but as far as
it goes it is the simple truth.
Those of us who have long and contin-
uously resided in Los Angeles or vicinity
can have no adequate appreciation of the
growth of this city and section. We are
too close to the scene for an appreciative
view; to us the significance of the con-
trast is slight compared to what it is with
the people Of other sections who have
watched, in less than score OF years, the
transformation Of sheep pastures and cat
tie ranges into vineyards and orchards,
and OF villages into cities.
The Oakland Times is right in award
ing praise to the energy and the enter
prise that has wrought these wonders, but
that is not telling the whole story. The
people who have builded thus greatly,
have done so because there is something
to found achievement upon. They are
resting the superstructure of their empire
upon foundation that will endure with
the ages, foundation Of a combination
of natural advantages without parallel
on the globe.
Other countries have some Of the
natural advantages we possess, but where
is the section that is endowed with them
in the variety, the completeness and the
potency that Southern California is? If,
with these attractions of an unsurpassed
climates soil of unrivaled productiveness
and category of products of unequaled
diversity, we have drawn tens of thou
sands in less time than it takes an Amer
ican to acquire the right of suffrage, it is
reasonable to expect that before another
quarter of century we shall draw hun
dreds of thousands more. Population be-
gets popuIation, and almost -.ua.y man
and woman who has been fortunate
enough. to escape alive from the. alternate

mers, becomes a missionary in the cause
