NORTHERN VEGETABLES
What Dealer Says Regarding . Contempor.
ary'S Attack

Many fruit and vegetable dealers Of the
city express themselves as being thorough
ly disgusted with, and indignant over, q
certain article, which under the heading
Northern Vegetables" found it's way, in
tentionally or otherwise, in the local col
last. One of the Althouse Bros, the First
street dealers, said yesterday:
The article seems to have no end in view
other than to charge the vegetable hand
lers with heinous disloyalty to Southern
California, because forsooth, some of our
stocks are northern grown and are so adj
vertised and labeled. 1t does this in such
contemptibly mean manner that to the
thoughtless the idea is conveyed that the
Los Angeles vegetable men are hustling
enemies of the section that supports them,
that they are traitors to home interests.
What utter nonsense this is! A first.class
grocery, or clothing or dry goods store.
draws upon all sections for its stock. Even
a newspaper prints, or is supposed to print.
all varieties of news for its many sided
patrons. There are sermons for ono class
and prizefights for another, with all the in
finite gradations between them. And it
does this to meet demand that cannot be
ignored if it wishes to be live paper. just
so with the vegetable dealers.
l am not speaking for our firm alone.
but for all in this line of business, when
say that we aim to keep every line of veg.
etables in the market regardless of price
or where grown, because it is impossible to
do first-class business and handle home
products only. About the only vegetable
from the north at present being advertised
is asparagus. This succulent is found in
many varieties. 1t is impossible to supply
the demand from the home grown alone,
and we have customers who will have
nothing but northern grown asparagus.
Whether this is for real or fancied reasons
is no concern of ours. They want it, and
we are here to supply it-for a considera.
ton. The Times evidently does not know
how little of the home grown asparagus is
to he had.
No; as to the motive of the attack on the
local men, will not venture an opinion.
1t may or may not be an attack upon US
personally. l prefer to think that it was
an idiotic assault upon the dealers gener-
ally. Well, all can say is that in doing
it the paper assaulted patrons OF and ad-
vNrtisers in the sheet. I, for one, know
wheI am slapped.

CORRECTING OIL NUIsANcES
Putting the Field In Good Shape Coal vs.. Oil
As Fuel

FustinH tue Fieio In Ooou shape -Soai vs.. VII
AS Fuel
Oil Inspector Methvin is hard at work
in the field compelling we'll owners to rem
edy the filthy and unsanitary condition
around many of the tanks. Numerous
complaints have been received of water
being allowed to run down the cutters car
rying with 1t quantity of oil, which
spreads over everything.
All the petroleum is mixed to certain
extent with water when pumped, which
settles and separates in the tanks. When
driver stops at a we'll for a
load he opens the valve and allows
the accumulated water at the bot
tom Of the tank to run off before he con-
meets to his wagon. There are always
pools OF drippings around the pipe outlets
of the tanks, and the water in running off
carries with it this oil, putting many of
the streets in a deplorable condition.
This it is sought to remedy. and the city
ordinance against running water into the
streets is to be rigidly enforced. A little
loose dirt thrown upon the oil drippings
absorbs them and can be easily removed,
thus keeping the sidewalks and streets
clean and dry. The water must be con-
dncted away in such manner that it
will not be nuisance. Nearly all we'll
owners have shown a disposition to co.
operate in every way possible, and the gen.
eral condition has been greatly improved
of late.
Deputy State Mineraloaist Watts has
just finished complete map of the oil dis
trict, showing the exact location of every
we'll. etc. He is now at work gathering
data for q complete treatise upon the
Southern California oil belt. Some inter-
esting figures have been made, showing
the comparative economy between the use
of petroleum and different Goals as fuel.
1t is stated that one pound of Los Angeles
oil will evaporate about fifteen pounds of
water, one pound of Elsinore coal coal five
pounds of water, one of British Columbia
or Wellington coal seven pounds, and the
best Welsh anthracite ten pounds. A bar
rel of oil weighs about 356 pounds. 1t
will thus be seen that from two to four and
a half barrels of oil will do the same
amount of work and produce as many heat
units as the different brands of coal fuel,
respectively. In a test made at San Fran
cisco recently local oil produced sufficient
energy to evaporate on an average sixteen
pounds of water per pound OF oil for sew
eral days continuously. This record, it is
believed, cannot be beaten for the same
length of time. The fires we're not stop
ped a moment during the time and, while
the percentage of evaporation varied with
the steam pressure, the average was as
above stated.
There is no change to report in the local
situation. Producers are still disnclined
to sell, believing that the price is bound to
tankage on hand is being made to ascer-
tain definitely how much petroleum is on
hand and available for shipment. Leases

that, even though the field as a whole is
failing, there is money to be made in the
near future from new and fresh wells.

Insanity Examinations

Eugene A. Beach, an old soldier. was
yesterday examined before Judge McKin-
ley by commission consisting of Drs.
Cochran an Mathis, and on being adjudged
lum at Highlands.
Robert Barry, also an old soldier, was
examined before the same judge by the
same commission and was discharged. 1t
was shown that Barry had taken the kee-
ley cure and had again taken to drink.
The man was peculiar when under the
influence of liquor, but was sane when he
was sober.
A complaint charging insanity was also
sworn to against Elizabeth Crowell, who
lives on East Main street. Her mania is
suicidal and she is very violent.
Mrs. Hietflebauer was also complained
against as insane. She lives on West
Thirty-eighth street, and, although she is
in destitute condition, she refuses to ac-
cept assistance from her neighbors.

The trial Of Lewis Harmon, charged
with the murder of Thomas Carroll in q
saloon at the corner of Main and Washing
ton streets in December last, was contin-
ued before Judge Smith in department one
of the superior court yesterday. Almost
the entire day was taken up in the exam
ination of A. W. Cochran and Tim Connell.
two eye-witnesses of the shooting. Both
men said that they did not see any weapon
in Carroll's han.ls. AS soon as the shot
was fired and Carroll fell they ran to the
body and found q pocket-knife opened
and lying close to him. The indications
were that he had the knife in his hand
when he was shot. The position of the
body indicated that Carroll was facing
Harmon when he WAS shot. The witnesses
we're very closely questioned in regard to
the position Of the body and the location of
the knife. The defense will be that Car
roll had the knife in his hand and was adj
vancing on Harmon, when the latter.
thinking that his life was threatened, fired
the shot in self-defense.
The trial will be continued this morning.
It is believed that all the testimony will be
in by evening.

An elderly man, followed by prepos-
sessing girl about IA years of age, walked
into the police station at 8 o'clock last
evening and sought the services of Judge
Bean. The girl, he said, was his daughter,

When asked what she had done, he re-
piled that she had run away from home
and refused to go back. The girl stated
that she had not lived at home for some
years regularly, and had made her own
living since she was 9 years old. She had
done nothing wrong. but would not be
compelled to live with her father, who
seemed a highly irascible old fellow.

for him, the old fellow departed in high
dudgeon. wanting to know what kind Of
