Y Los ANGELES THEATER-Ro.
land Reed, one of the most popular &C
tors and a company of merit, will play
an engagement at the Los Angeles the
ater tonight, tomorrow night, Satur-
day and Saturday matinee, and will
present his newest and best success.
The Politician. or ThA Woman's plank,
q political satire by the late David d.
Lloyd and Sydney Rosenfield.
The story deals with the machina-
tions of General Josiah Timber, a
scheming politician, who hits upon Pc
ter WOoley as a compromise candidate
for congress. Wooley is anything but
politician. He is rich, satisfied with
his manner of life thoroughly domestic
and loves his home and garden patch.
But Timber gets the women on his side
and finally persuades Wooley to ''let
his name be used" 1t is used in the
most lurid and band-wagon style. The
interest eliminates in the third act,
which represents the ante-room of the
convention hall. Timber works like a
horse and carries the day, Wooley be-
ing declared the nominee. The lover of
Wooley's daughter is nominated by
the other SIDE. which causes their en-
gagement to be broken, and Timber
falls in love with Wooley's niece, while
her aunt sets her cap for Limber. All
these complications are Strengthened
out in the last act. "a
On Friday evening and Saturday
matinee will be given The Woman
Halter, on Saturday evening, Lend Me
Your Wife.

ment brought down the house. Little
Gertie Carlisle's singing of the old song
Don't Want to Play in Your Yard,
won for her several encores. The act
of the Kins-Ners is as great in an aero
hatic way as that of the Corty brothers
is in comedy. The Orpheus Quartette
repeat their successes. and Carter and
Gaywell appear in Irish comedy. The
Andersons close the bill with one OF
their plantation sketches, such as only

everyone home smiling. The full bill
will be produced at the matinees Sat-
urday and Sunday.

cANAIGRE PRODUCTION

In another part of today's Herald will
be found an article concerning the pos
sibilities of canaigre production we'll
worthy the perusal of everybody inter-
ested in the material development of
though canaigre might be made one of
the greatest and most profitable of Cali
fornia crops. Canaigre is admitted to
be a most satisfactory substitute for
tan bark. The latter has suffered from
the inroads of the leather trade to such
an extent that 1t is estimated that in
fifteen years the supply of it in the
United States will be exhausted The
hopes of the great leather trust are built
on the diminishing supply of tan bark
But with the liberal production of ca
naigre, these hopes of the combine
would be shattered.
Canaigre can be grown on much
cheaper land than can be used for most
of the fruits. and does not demand the
expensive and watchful care that the
latter do. At present prices it affords
a splendid profit. Delivered at Liver
pool. California canaigre has been sold
as high as $40 per ton. 1t is said that
over ten tons to the acre can be produced
on lands in this state. The domestic de-
mands for the article as a substitute for
imported tannic extracts would reach
many hundred thousand tons. The val
ue of the worlds annual consumption of
tannic acid is In the neighborhood of
S250,000,000. while this country is sup
posed to consume $40,o0O, 900 worth per
annum. 1t is apparent that in canaigre
production capital and labor can find
new and highly remunerative field.

SOMETHING ABOUT WHEAT

The Following figures from Brad
streets, relative to the available wheat
in the United States. Canada and Eu-
rope. are interesting and will repay
reading by those concerned in the move
ment of this essential commodity:
Total stocks Of available wheat on
both coasts Of the United States March
2Sth amounted to "a, 299, 900 bushels (San
Francisco. Stockton and Port Costa.
Cal, Portland, Ore, and Tacoma and
Seattle accumulations west of the Rocky
mountains. a decrease of 4, 535, 900 BUSH
els as compared with the total stocks
so held one month before, and falling
of Of 7.453, 900 bushels as compared with
stocks SO held on April 1, 1895. Total
supplies OF wheat afioat for and in Eu-
rope on the 1st instant amounted to
5o,576,o0o bushels. or 4,6s2. 900 bushels
less than on March 1 this year, and
nearly 10,200,0 900 bushels less than on
April l. 1885, Total supplies of avail
able wheat in the United States and
Canada. Europe and afioat for Europe
on or about the 1st of the current
month. as shown by reports to Brad
streets by telegraph and cable, amount
ed to 144,S75. 900 bushels. 9,176,000 bush
els less than were so held one month
ago, and about 1850, 900 bushels less
than reported on April 1, 1895. A sig
nificant feature is that practically the
worlds supply of available wheat is as
small today as it was late in May 1895.
In March, 1889. the worlds available
supplies fell away in round numbers,
about 100000 bushels; in that month
in 1890. 100000 bushels in 1891 they in
creased slightly; in 1892 the falling off
was little in excess of 100000 BUSH
els. while in 1893 there was again a
small gain during the month Of March.
In 1894 March stocks of available wheat
in the United States, Canada. afloat
for and in Europe fell away about S,O0o,-
600 bushels. and almost the same
amount during March, 1895, while, as
pointed out. last month the correspond
ing decrease was 9,176,OoO bushels.
1t has developed that the sum pro-
vided for the building and equipment of
the new school houses has been exceed
ed by about 500. This incident but
adds to the evidence that has accumu-
lated to the effect that the present city
administration is about the weakest
and most incompetent in an all round
comprehensive sense that the suffering
people of Los Angeles have been aflict-
ed with in many lonFFay. The.cost of
constructing and eqdfpping the new
school houses was certainly easy to as
certain, and there is no excuse for the
appearance now of deficiencies. To
most people the proceeds of the school
bond sale would seem ample for the ex-
ecution of the plans as the public un-
derstood them, and the excess of the
cost over the amount provided is in all
likelihood due to some fine mismanage-
ment
