SAN BERNARDINO
The Coal Measures Prove to Be Valuable
Discoveries

discoveries
SAN BERNARDINO, April 27.-The
discovery of coal, which has recently
been reported from Reche canyon and
the district Immediately south of this
city, is proving to be of very much more
Importance than was at first supposed.
Instead of mere groupings and '1ndica.
tions'' it is now known that the range or
hills separating San Timoteo and Reche
canyons has been prospected for six
miles from where they debouch into this
valley, and that district now known
to- be two and one-half miles wide and
six miles long is not only being pros
pected but shafts are being put down,
and one, which is being operated by
Sumner Wright of this city, has passed
width, and Ignite is carbonifefous
formation never found except in con-
nection with GOAL.
specimens of excellent coal are also
exhibited from other parts of the range.

Brown. the Chino Christian Scientist

death of a 13-mOnths-old child. Will be
prosecuted. The Chino people were not
a little wrought up over the matter a
mouth ago, and the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was very popular one. The
demand that the authorities take some
action became SO general that a COM
plant charging manslaughter was made
out by the district attorney and sent to
Chino to be sworn to.
But here the Chino people weakened.
The complaint has been in the possess
sion of Justice Rhodes of Chino for more
than two weeks and nc one has made
affidavit to 1t, nor Is 1t expected now that
the case will ever be brought to trial.

AN OLD CLAIM REVIVED
An Architect Has Sued the Sehoel
Board =
Street School Which Was Never Bullt.
Meeting Of the Board

Hugh Toddd has brought suit against
the board of education as an official
body, to recover the sum of $500 alleged
to be due him for making certain archi-
tects' plans for an addition to the Spring
street school, which it was proposed to
build In 1892, but which was never con-
structed. The board last night instruct
ed President Hale to confer upon the
subject in Its legal status with the city
attorney.
The board last night approved bills to
the amount of S424.10, together with the
salaries In the school department for
the current month.
The board refused to order warrant
drawn for the $500, the price to be paid
for the additional Boyd street lot Pres
.ident Hale voted no, and explained his
position by the statement that until the
additional lot for the Thirtieth street
school has been secured he could not
and would not vote for any other ward.
Directors Grubb and Kennedy went
at Hale rather hard for his stand, and
the president Of the board finally
changed his vote to aye and the money
was ordered to be paid over. The mat
ter of purchasing the additional ground
on Thirtieth street was then referred to
the building committee to be reported at
the next meeting.
The secretary of the board was in
structed to advertise for music charts
and books, the contract for which ex-
pires on June 30. The present contract
has run for four years.
The committee appointed to receive
the school property In the annexed dis
trict reported that after frequent con-
ferences with the county superintendent
of schools it was found that no school
district was entirely included. The
board of supervisors has annexed the
districts to the city, all excepting Ver-
non, and that the city attorney had ad-
vised that the property and control of
the schools mentioned be taken in charge

A QUESTION.

Wouldn't you consider a
man capable Of doing the most
intricate work, capable of doing
the simple work also?
Would you consider a man
capable only of doing the sim
pie work, quite as capable for
that work, as the more skillful
one?
We have been getting ALL
your intricate and difficult
work during the years past,
now let us have ALL your
work which requires less skill;
then note after it leaves our
hands how much better it
looks-see if it does not give
you better satisfaction.
Your watch Is one of your
best friends;lt merits the treat
ment you accord your friends.
We give it such treatment.
1t is our business. Ten years
of satisfactory work have
given US the reputation for the
best; and yet we are doing
better work to day than ever.
We are working just as hard
to keep that reputation as we
ever did to gain it. We are
not content to rest easy, and
let the reputation do all the
work; the quality will never be
lessened.
DO you know that your old
key winder can be converted to
a stem winder, and that it can
be done so it will wind as
smooth as melted butter? We
have converted a number of
them and can convert yours.

FRIDAY, APRIL "a, 1896.
THE CHRONICLES AT
TACK.

In paragraph yesterday draw
ing attention to a violent article
against reciprocity, from the San
Francisco Chronicle, it was re-.
marked that the attack in question
was one-sided and unjust. Its
author probably intended it to be
SO, for the Chronicle is better in
formed on the subject than its ex.
pressions would indicate. Indeed,
the article in question slops over
50 egregiously, in affecting to give
the Pacific Coast side of recipro-
city, as to convince "the man up a
tree" that its object is not to I'M
dermine existing treaty relations,
but to brighten the planters of
this country into paying black
mail to the Chronicle treasury. 1t
is notorious that some of the lead
ing San Francisco papers make
that sort of thing a regular branch
of enterprise. A recent exposure
In this line, which the Chronicle
is using at second hand to
injure a contemporary, is in
point. In that case a news
paper upon having a lucrative
monthly subsidy cut off, which it
had been receiving to give rail
way corporation "fair play" forth
with poses as the friend of the
people in unbridled abuse of the
corporation and its executive. 1t
has been an open secret here that
the Chronicle, together with other
leading journals of San Francisco,
were for year or two in the pay
of the Hawaiian revolutionists of
1898. For some time it has been
evident that their subsidies in this
regard have been cut off, not only
from the fact that they have ceas-
ed championing the cause of the
Hawaiian Government excepting
In occasional paragraphs more or
less frivolous, but most of all, be-
cause in their discussions of in
ternational relations they are cap
able of producing such affusions
as this recent one of the Chronicle.
The Chronicles article reprint
ed in yesterdays issue is one
sided in that it makes not the
faintest attempt to strike q fair
balance. Had it done 80 and
showed that the balance was more
or less heavy against Hawaii,
there would be no cause for com
plant Oh this side, but we should
have had to prove, if we could,
that its accounting was wrong

stance, to give reciprocity credit

greater proportion Oh JueSe NeSSelS
have been built in Pacific Coast
shipyards, while most of the YES
sells of the two large inter-island
steam fleets created by the pros
perity incident to the reciprocity
treaty-came from the hands of
United States builders. Refer
ring to the trading feet between
here and San Francisco again, it
is well. known that it makes the
finest showing of any section of
American maritime commerce.
San Francisco would sadly miss
the Hawaiian sugar fleet if it were
driven away by the abrogation of
the treaty for which the Chroni-
Gle is agitating. Then, what
about the steam mail communica-
ton between San Francisco and
Honolulu and the Colonies, which
Hawaii has been literally sub
sidizing for many years while all
it has received from the United
States has been the bare sea
postage on mails? Two of the
fine steamships in this service for
the past fourteen years were built
in the United States, and two
others running for q lesser period
were thoroughly renovated in San
Francisco at great expense.
The foregoing do not exhaust, by
any means, the incidental advan-
tages on the other side, to offset
the debit on the "balance of trade"
account on which the enemies of
the treaty are wont to descant.
Perhaps it is not worth while
treating an attack on the treaty by
the Chronicle in serious fashion.
1t is simply q renewal of its old
time hostility when it was insti-
gated solely by the passions of it's
feud with Claus Spreckels. Never
theless, recognizing its undoubted
position as modern newspaper
Of large circulation, these observa-
tions in reply to its fresh anti
Hawaiian outbreak can hardly be
considered out of place. Its criti-
cism of the treaty is unjust, in
that it does not take into account
that there is party of the other
part" as the lawyers say, in the
question. That is the United
States, which has been approach
ed from this side, for six years to
our certain knowledge, with a
view to having the commercial
features of the treaty revised for
the mutual advantage. There are
staple products of these islands
subject to duty in the United
States, in return for admitting
which free Hawaii has been stand
ing ready to make almost any con-
cessions. All the revision that
has been secured in that period,
however, has been the granting
of exclusive privileges in one of
the best sites for a naval station in
the Pacific by Hawaii to the United
States. That, perhaps, counts for
nothing with the Chronicle, lingo
though it is in all matters affect
ing the standing of the United
States among the Great Powers.
Again, the fact is kept out of
sight by the Chronicle that Ha-
waii comedies to the United
States absolute supervision of all
her treaty relations with other
countries. In this respect Hawaii
is as much a dependency Of the
United States as Canada is of the
British Crown, This article has,
however, grown to such length
that further remarks on the sub
ject must be reserved.
