TARGET-PRACTIOE DELAYED.

Soldiers Are Waiting for the New Krag-
Jorgensen Rifle.
Small arms target-practice for the regu-
lar soldiers serving in the Department of
California is being delayed on account of
the War Department having issued gene
raj orders to the effect that the new Krag-
Jorgensen rife must be the one used in the
next practice.
1t was ascertained at the Phelan building
yesterday from the inspector of small
arms practice that it might be a month or
two, or even more, before the rifle would
be supplied to the organizations in this de-
partment, as the first to be supplied were
to go to the regiments which showed the
highest excellence in last years and year
before lasts practice.
AS target practice is the most important
event in army life considerable interest is
felt as to the time when the new gun will
be ready.

WANTS TO KILL THE FAMILY.

Aid

Aid.
Mrs. or Miss Blanche Dowdy whichever
it may be, evidently thinks that Sheriff
Whelan has jurisdiction over the whole
State of California and can issue warrants
for the arrest of any and all persons when
he pleases.
She has reason to think that her Chinese
cook is trying to poison the inmates of her
home and has asked the Sheriff to interfere
and take the Celestial into custody. Fol-
lowing is the letter received by Mr.. Whe-
Ian:

The Sheriff sent word to the anxious
rancher that he could do nothing for her
and that she had better apply to the proper
authorities in her own county.

Many Massachusetts citizens amassed COM
forta BILE fortunes with the seductive art-
Gle until the patrol or the African coast
by English and American men-of- war for
the purpose of breaking up this particu-
lar kind of commerce convinced them
that the slave trade was a great moral
wrong, and they went out of the bust
ness. Other proeple had then to drink
the Africans share.
The total amount of liquor made In the
United States sold in the latter in 1894
was 100, 900, 900 gallons. The manufacture
of malt liquors in this country in the
same year was 1, 200, 900. 900 gallons. The
amount OF foreign wines consumed in
the United States is decreasing right
along. This does not mean that wine
drinking is on the decline, but that
more of the domestic article is used. In
this connection it can be said that Cali
fornia is the chief beneficiary of the in
creased demand for home made goods.
The Blue Grass district of Kentucky is
the banner WHISKY producing district OF
the union. Its output is 5000, 900 gallons
per year 1t is only fair to say that the
most of this is consumed outside OF the
district. These figures would seem to
show that as whole people we are in no
danger OF thirsting. But as is the case
with all other forms of wealth, the dis
tributlon is unequal, and many have m ore

perennially destitute of even enough for

WHAT WE DRINK

The people of the United States drink
about %, 900, 900 bushels of grain annual
ly. They do not exactly take it in the
form of grain, but that is the amount
utilized in the manufacture of spirituo us
and malt liquors. The waving fields of
corn supply about 10, 900, 900 bushels of
their product to be used IN the produce
ton of beverages that both cheer and in
citrate. A boat 4, 900, 900 bushels of rye are
consumed by distilleries that turn out tine
fluid so conspicuously a member of the
liquid firm of Rock 81 Rye. The amount
OF rock used is not ascertainable, but if
We are to infer anything from the hard
results of some of the drinking, it must
be enormous. Men are in one particular
identically like horses ami mules-they
consume an immense quantity of barely.
But they take theirs differently from the
other animals; they take it wet--that is
in neer. In the making OF the latter
about 100000 bushels are used in the
United states alone. Nearly 2 900, 900 gal
Ions OF rum are produced in this country
annually. The chief states in the pro-

THE POLICY OF DECENCY TO BE MAIN
TANNED

Those wiseacres who predicted that
Secretary Olney would pursue a different
foreign policy from that of the late Mr..
Gresham are probably aware of their fail
ure as prophets by this time. There is
every reason to believe that the eminently
wise. absolutely honest and strictly
American poncy or the late secretary is
to be adhered to. There never was any
reason for believing otherwise. Regard
ing this subject the New York Times
very pertinently remarks as follows:
Secretary of State Olney is making a
beginning that must be disappointing to
those impetuous Republican prophets
who have insisted that he was put in the
state department chiefly for the purpose
of carrying out policy of American SIM
according to the idea of the bum tious
annexationists, the policy to be distnc
lively aggressive as compared with that of
his predecessor, General Gresham.
'And now, in spite OF the lingo de-
mand for the annexation of Cuba, which
does not appear to come from any class
of Cubans, the secretary of state has
taken steps. with the cooperation of the
navy department. not to occupy and APP
propriate Cuba, but to comply with the
obligations of the United States. under
International law. to prevent the de-
parture from the United States of armed
forces destined to make war upon a ma
ton with which the United States are on
terms OF amity.
Until the instruction in Cuba has
been recognized as entitled to be declared
a state OF war, and until a governmen t
other than that of Spain has been estab-
lished on the island and acknowledged
by this government. it will be the duty
of our state department to adhere to the
policy indicated by the administration
in its orders to the Raleigh to keep
watch upon the coast OF Florida for ex-
petitions against Cuba

ANNOUNCEMENTS
THURSDAY. JUNE 20, 1908.
TEN HOUSES DAILY

No better index to the character and ex-
tent OF this city's growth need be asked
than is to be found in the mum Der and kind
of building Improvements being made.
As reported in the real estate and build
ing review of today's issue OF The Herald,
the largest mum Der of permits to build
ever granted by this city in single week
was reported for the week closing yester-
day. They mum bered ffty-six, or an av-
erage of nearl., ten houses per day. For
over year past the number OF permits
has averaged five per day; the week
closed yesterday almost doubled the av-
erage. The buildings to be constructed
are OF the kind that stand for population.
They are of the sort demanded by the best
class Of people With which a city can be
populated. the class that represents the
genuine morality, the sensible conserva-
tism and the intelligent industry of the
country-the respectable, well-to-do eie-
other city in the United States of four
times the size of Los Angeles can make a
similar showing of substantial improve
ment. Every house built in Los Angeles
represents practically another family
added to the city. People do not build
houses unless there are occupants for
them. And in Southern California popu-
lation begets population. In section
blessed with the unrivaled resoui ces and
superior climatic advantages that we
have, nearly every household is a bureau
for the encouragement of immigration,
and the coming of one familvy is the in
variable indication OF innumerable others
to follow. The inducem ents that have
drawn the disconnected of the world to
this chosen spot are as potent as ever,
while the agencies for their presentation
are immensely multiplied. There is
abundant reason to believe that Los An
geles will maintain for years the average
of improvement attained in the last
twelve months, if net indeed of that
shown by the last week.
