THE OIL INSPECTORS

The city council yesterday elected
Samuel Molyneaux and J. F. Fosmir oil
inspector and deputy respectively, under
the ordinance recently adopted for the
regulation of the oil industry. So far as
known, these gentlemen have never held
any public position, nor is it claimed fer
Mr.. Molyneaux, who has been engaged
in the real estate business, that he has
any special knowledge of the industry
which he is to supervise. Both gentle
men, however, are highly spoken of by
their friends as men of integrity and
good business understanding. The po-
sitions to which they have been elected
are by no means easy ones to fill, but
the law is plain, and there should be no
difficulty in enforcing it's provisions.
Their actions will be closely watched by
those in interest, and as long as they 90
their duty they will receive the hearty
cooperation and support of The Herald.

Statistics show that the crime of mur-
der is increasing in the United States
with alarming rapidity-from 1000 in
1885 to 10000 in 1895, and the natural in
ference follows that most of our states
of the Union are lax in the enforcement
of the laws, and deficient in that higher
education in the law of love and good will
to men. And this is more noticeable in
the extreme southern states than else
where. What is to be done?

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Splendid Quality OF Hemp Grown
in Butte County.

California for many years has been
ncted the world over for its fruit wheat,
livestock, sugar beetS, etc, but it was
left to an Englishman by the name of
Nanankirk to discover that our State
could produce the best hemp grown in
the world.
The gentleman has had considerable
experience in the growing of hemp, with
which he experimental quite extensive
ly in several States with but Indifferent
success. He at last was induced to come
to California by the reports of the pro-
ductiveness of our soil After travel
ing over a good portion of the State, he
selected several hundred acres about
two miles east of Gridley, Butte Coun-
ty, and planted quite a large field as an
experiment last year. In the fall his
expectations were more than realized in
both quantity and quality of hemp pro-
duced. The plant grew to the hight Of
twelve, and from that to twenty-five
feet. Samples of the hemp were sent to
New York, which is noted for its fine
hemp, but seldom grows higher than
twelve feet. The samples sent from
Gridley were pronounced by experts
there the finest ever displayed from any
section.
Mr.. Nanankirk this year has about
500 acres planted along the Feather
River while others have planted enough
to make the total acreage about 1000
They have put in a large plant, running
about forty hands, which turns out the
pure hemp, ready to be spun into any
form.
The soil suitable for this product is a
black, sandy loan, near the river, where
plenty of moisture is attainabIe.

HELD TO ANSWER.
Frank Russell, a Preston School In
mate, Held for Grand Larceny.

Frank Russell, an inmate Of the
Preston Industrial School at lone, was
examined in Judge Coombs' court at
lone on Wednesday and held to an
swer. Russell was charged with burg
lariZing the room of one Thorsting,
one of the officers of the institution,
and taking therefrom a valuable gold
watch, chain and Iocket, also a dia-
mond pin and $50 gold piece. A boy
named Harry Anthony testified that on
the day after the things were missed
Russell showed him the watch and
other articles.
The testimony of another inmate of
the school, Ed Harvey, was more than
a surprise to those in the courtroom,
inasmuch as it came out that the stolen
articles We're delivered by the witness
to George L. Crabtree, a well-known
livery stable keeper of Gait, at the re-
quest of Russell.
The defendant next took the stand
and confessed to having stolen the jew
elry and given the stuff to Ed. Harvey
to deliver to George Crabtree. He said
he had a conversation with Crabtree
before stealing the goods. He further
testified that Crabtree-after the goods
were missed-had told him to skip. He
said:
Now, don't you throw me down, and
won't throw you down.
A warrant was issued for Crabtree's
arrest at once, and he was arrested by
Constable Kelly.
F. S. Sprague of this city, who hap
pened to be in lone on business, ap-
peared as his attorney, and on his mo-
ton Crabtree's examination was con-
tinued until Monday next, the Goth.
George L. Crabtree it will be re-
membered, was acquitted in the Supe-
rior Court of Sacramento County of
burning McKinstry's barn at Gait a
few years ago.
County Detective Max P. Fisher, who
happened to be in the courtroom at the
time Russell was brought in, at once
recognized him as a former member of
the Eighth and K-streets gang, who
gave the police no end of trouble at
one time. 1t consisted Of Dennis Cook,
Joe Davis, Mcnamara, Finn and Red
Donnelly, all young men. Davis is now
serving seventeen years for robbery,
Mcnamara is serving a term in the
Whittier Reform School, Donnelly is
in Jail in Contra Costa County on
charge of burglary, and Finn was ban
ished from the State.
Since his arrival in the school Rus
sell has been studying electricity. He
pleasantly chatted with Fisher and
threw in as parting remark:
Judge Hart don't do a thing to the
boys, hey?'

Mr.. Cook said he would be glad to

County Surveyor Boyd said he
thought a contractor could make mon
ey by putting on the earth at 10 cents

A LONG FEBRUARY.
A number of bills were allowed, but
Supervisor Mclaughlin objected to
some bills of County Surveyor Boyd,
saying that he had put in bills for
thirty-three days in February He
had already drawn pay for twenty
seven days in that month.
Chairman Jenkins said that part of
the bills were for making maps for the
County Assessor. which the law says
must he furnished by the board He
did not think, however, that the bills
for work done on Sundays and holidays
could be paid for.
Supervisor Curtis stated that last
year the Surveyor claimed that he had
done considerable work overtime, eight
hours being days work for the
county.
The claims were held over for inves-
tigation.
HEALTH OFFICERS.
J. n. Andrews, temporary Health
Officer at Elk Grove, said that there
are several cases of diphtheria there,
and that there should be complete san
itation of the premises where it exists.
In order to do so he must have author
ity, and he wished it defined.
Supervisor Morrison said that under
the law he did not believe that the
board could do anything until a County
Health Officer is appointed by the
board. and that the present Health
Officers have no authority until that
is done. The law repeals all previous
laws He believed that before the
board adjourned it should make an
appointment of a. County Health Of
ficer. He should be a country physi-
clan, familiar with the county and the
needs Of localities. Such a man re-
sides at Elk Grove, in the person of
DR.. Mckee. a most competent man, and
one who had given his services freely
to the county in such matters, and
who, he believed would, if appointed,
give great attention to the work that
should be done Immediately in his own
immediate neighborhood. He did not
know whether DR.. Mckee would accept
the appointment or not. The law says
the salary shall not exceed 5000 a. year,
and the board can fix it at as much
less as it chooses.
Chairman Jenkins thought Dr. Nc
Kee would accept, as he is a public
spirited man, and there is work to be
done almost at his door
The matter was referred to the Dis
trict Attorney, with the request that
he give an opinion to-day, and the
board adjourned until 10 a. m. to-
day.
BOYD EXPLAINS
County Surveyor Boyd stated last
night IN response to inquiry that not
only did he work every day during the
month of February, but that his as
sistant worked also, helping him, much
of the time. AS a matter of fact, they
really worked forty three days, instead
of thirty-three, and he worked many
days from ten to fourteen hours, but
made no charge to the county for extra
time. He considered his assistants
time worth as much as his own, and
put in his bill for the work they both
did, or, rather, for less than they did,
and he considers the bill a proper one.
