Picnickers Prosecuted for Shooting a
Dog-Court Proceedings

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 2s.-Trouble
is brewing for a picnic party consisting
of the following persons: N. D. Smith,
Nellie Gilchrist Ellington, J. K. Har-
rington, Florence Ellington, Charles
Hankel and Eta Ellington. The pre-
lminary examination of Hankel on a
charge of malicious mischief has been

rants are out for the arrest of the six
upon complaints sworn to before Police
Judge S. S. Price, on charges of dis
charging firearms within the city linn

also threatened by the owner of a valua
BILE dog killed by one of the members of
the party.
The six persons named acquired their
present notoriety by engaging a surrey
and setting out on a pleasure expedition
in the direction of Carpinteria. They
were we'll supplied with lunch, beer and
whisky. When passing the home of j.
r. Vance, in the First ward, a large
English mastiff asleep by the roadside
attracted their attention and Hankel
without warning, leveled rifle and sent
a ball through the poor brute's body. Mr..
]. r. Vance. who owned the dog and wit
messed the wanton act, endeavored to
detain the party, but N. d. Smith, who
was driving, applied the whip to the
horses and lost no time in clearing the
premises. A son of Mr.. Vance quickly
mounted a saddle horse and struck out
after the rapidly disappearing outfit. He

volver, commanded them to halt, which
summons was instantly obeyed by the
frightened driver The young man noted
the identity of each of the pleasure seek

journey.
Mr. Vance states that he would not
have parted with the animal for $500.

ORANGE COUNTY
Westminster Offers a Chance to the
Poor Man-Notes

SANTA ANA. Jan. CSC. H. Carlyle
of Westminster was in the city today.
Mr.. Carlyle is very enthusiastic as to
the prospects of his part of Orange coun-
ty. Westminster" he says, now
boasts of three large creameres, which
have stimulated the raising of the best
breeds of milch cows. The Alamitos
Sugar company purchased between five
and six thousand acres of the most un-
attractive and apparently the most un-
productive lands in that section. These
lands they are now selling to purchasers
at reasonable rates, on the condition that
they shall be farmed five years to sugar
beets. The company assists the poorer
purchasers, breaking the virgin soil,
seeding, etc, the first year, the cost of
which is to be deducted from the crop
when harvested 1t is the opportunity"
continued Mr. Carlyle, for a poor man"
Mr.. Carlyle spoke of the great good
that had recently been accomplished in
his community by Evangelist Hemus
and wife, by which influence about forty
converts had been made and union of
many conflicting elements brought
about.
p. T. Adams of Tustin was in Santa
ange county's big orange growers. When
questioned as to the present orange
prospects Mr.. Adams said: This years
crop Is superior to that of the last. Grow
ers prefer to sell on the tree and let pur-
chasers do the marketing. But few buy
ers are around and n0\ special prices
have yet been offered Our association

this year. We prefer to sell at home
We do not like to risk the commission

Mr.. Adams has some good mining in
terests at Randsburg which claim his
attention, and he proposes to proceed to
that point at an early day.
w. F. Heathman, who has been tour
ing through the Santiago mountains for
two weeks, showed his face on the streets
today. He says nothing worthy of note
occurred in the way of contact with

and that no mineral discoveries were
made.

The Local Electric Company Preparing
For Great Development.

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 2S.-The
San Bernardino Electric Light company
has announced it's intention to increase
it's capital stock from $4,000 to $10O,0
The company now has 150-horse water
power at it's command, but this was
found insufficient to supply GUS
toners with electric lights, and
the company has purchased
250-horse water power more at
East Riverside. To insure against ac-
cident the company has secured 50O-horse
power more of the Redlands Elec-
trio Light and Power company, which it
can use in case of emergencies. The
company has had lying idle in this city
$4,000 worth of copper wire and ma
chinery for the last year. which it has
been unable to use because of lack of
power. The company is now in shape
to equip electric street railways and also
to supply manufacturing establishments
with cheap power. This valuable electric
power developed from water power is but
the first step in making it possible to
carry on manufacturing enterprises in
this city.

JAPANESE AS SMOKERS.
Why They Use small Pipes and are so a
EtemIous.

Why They Use Small Pipes and are so Alb
Stemious.
Tobacco Trade Journal: / asked a
Japanese friend of mine who called on
me the other day. during his brief So
journ In New York with Marquis TO- In
whose suite he is. why the Japanese use
such very small pipes.
A japanese tobacco pipe holds mere
ly pinch OF tobacco-less than would
suffice for the making OF half cigar
cite say. Moreover, the tobacco smok-
ed by the Japs is exceedingly mild. The
Japanese who, like my friend have been
educated In the United States OF Europe
smoke cigars like the rest Of US, and
cigarettes, too, You won't see Jap
smoking any OF the small pipes OF his
own country whenever he is away from
home. Yet In Japan the tiny pipe Is
seen everyWhere; and, had II been left
to me to explain why so vigorous and
ylrile a people are content to get along
with so little tobacco, l should probably
never have solved the problem. When
asked my diplomat friend TO solve It
for me he laughed softly for moment
and then said:
None of the Americans or English
men who go TO Japan and then write
about the people and the country, have
given this subject any attention. II they
ever do the world will probably be told
that the Japanese smoke little tobacco
I'm little pipes because the average Jap
Is little man and takes Liliputlan
pleasures; or, the western world Will
learn that the Japanese are a political
people and recognize the small pipe Of
tobacco as the perfect type of a per-
pect pleasure. as an Englishman once
called the cigarette.
yet neither of these Is the true ex-
PLANTATION. The Japanese smoke little
tobacco because in the old days little
tobacco came into Japan, and the tariff
was very high, We are frugal and
abstemlous people. The masses in ia
pan have but little money to waste on
luXurles In ancient times they had
much less than they have now. They
earned little, and so they could spend
little. The tiny tobacco pipe of Japan
Is a survival OF the days when money
was scarce, tobacco dear and tariffs
high In generation or two when all
Japan-Dal NippOn-shall have taken
her place among the wealthy nations OF
the world, the old-time pipe will be as
much OF curio at home as 1t now IS
abroad"

The passage OF the tariff bin by the
senate and the signing of 1t by the Presl-
dent has ended one OF the most rapid
pieces of general tarlff legislation In the
history OF the country. Congress has
been In session but little more than four
months and the pledge made to the peo-
pie by the Republican party has been
kept,
Now that the measure is a law the I'M
eertaIntles as TO the final fate Of sched-
ules have disappeared and men in every
branch OF trade and industry know the
basis on which they viii do business In
the future. They can go ahead with the
certainty that the country will not again
be disturbed by tariff agitation, at least
for number of years.
The experience of the recent years.
when the agitation has been constant
and has kept the business world in a
state OF uncertainty, has created a sem
tIment everywhere throughout the coun-
try In favor of taking the tariff ont OF
politics. 1t is possible, judging from
reports and intlmati0ns that come from
Washington, that the next important
step In the direction of instltutIng re-
forms that will be taken by President
Mckinley, after the disposal of the cur
rency question, will be for tariff TOM
mission, to which all questions relating
to the tariff will be submitted and which
will regulate rates according as condI-
tons and changes in circumstances may
call for It, This has long been advo-
Gated, but now there IL a general demand
for It.
The bill Just passed Is not perfect one,
but Its weaknesses are far overbalanced
by its good features, and in the main 1t
will prove satisfactory to the country.
with business thoroughly established on
the new basis there is no reason why the
progress toward a general revival OF
prosperity should be delayed. With
abundant crops, the benefits of which are
already being felt, with tariff which
will protect, and with the settlement Of
the great coal strike, which is affecting
other Industries by creating scarcity Of
coal, Uncle Sam will resume business at
the old stand and under conditions like
those that prevailed during our period
of greatest prosperity when the Republi-
can party was in full power,
