Heavy Taxes for Foster People.

The taxpayers of Foster township will
shortly be called upon to pay the special
tax of 15}3 mills to pay the marshalled
debt of the Township. The court on
September 20, having confirmed the re-
port of Commissioner Halsey, who was
appointed to marshall the debt, issued a
decree that the supervisors of the town
ship shall within ten days prepare a
duplicate for a tax levy of 49, mills
upon the assessed valuation of the town
ship, with proper warrant to the col
lector of taxes Of said township to collect
the same within thirty days. The col
lector and treasurer of the township
are each to furnish a bond to be approv-
ed by the court in the sum of $40, 634. 30.
The amount of the debt is $5,017.l6.
In addition to the foregoing tax. an
extra tax will be ordered collected from
the taxpayers Of that portion of Foster
township (South Heberton and Alvinton)
lately annexed to Freeland borough.
The report of Auditor McHugh, appoint
ed by the court last spring to audit the
accounts, has not yet been made to the
court, but sufficient data has been OBJ
tanned to know that the tax rate to be
paid by the residents of that portion of
the township will be not less than per
cent of the valuation of their property.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurabe. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. ]. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. II is taken in
ternally in doses from ten drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address.

The Landmarks Club

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her.
aid: In an editorial in this mornings
Times the statement is made that it is
the purpose of the Landmarks club to
restore the mission of San Fernando. AL
low me, as one of the members of the
club, to say that it is the hope of the
club to preserve the ruins that remain,
the work of preservation being done in
exact imitation of the old, as in the work
now being done on the roof of one of the
buildings at San Fernando. The old tiles
are carefully removed, new timbers will
replace the old, which are now hope
lessly decayed; when finished the roof
will have the exact appearance of the
old, the only difference being that the
new timbers were sawed, while the old
were hewn. OF the eighty-four members
now enrolled as members of the Land
marks club, thirty-seven are from Los
Angeles, twenty-five are from Pasadena,
four from different parts of the state,
while the remaining eighteen are from
east of the Rockies. A membership of
thirty-seven certainly does not speak
well for Los Ange les, which now boasts
Of a population of 100000 inhabitants.
The missions of California are among
the few historic monuments in the
United States, and they should be pre-
served, not only for the credit and ben
eft of the state, but of the nation.

The Grape Crop

The only trouble with the grape crop
now is mildew. Some of the vineyards
are almost free from it, while others in
low lands, where the foliage is heavy,
are badly affected, and the loss in these
instances will be about one-third of the
crop On the whole the crop will be an
average one, and while the total ship
ments Of the Erie county, Pa, and the
Chautauqua county, N. Y, belt last year
were $500 cars, they would have reached
1000 this year easily under other circum-
stances. Last year at this time the
growers were harvesting their early va
rieties such as the Moores' Early and
the Wordens, but the crop this season
will not be ready for two or three weeks
yet The berry is just beginning to turn in

Rowan, leasing the fourteen-room house

The basement will be fitted up as a
billiard room. The upper part will be
used for various purposes. One part will
be devoted to reading room. Some al
terations will be made. 1t is expected

mated. The club will occupy their new
quarters imme ediately and expect to
move in within the next two or three
days.

limit to which the market for California

many other ways, and all the time.

The fact that California was the only
state in America that was represented
at Hamburg impressed the good people
over there nightly, for they realized
that she not only had to cross the water
but the whole continent just to get there
