Says He Fed $35 to the Slot Machines

Henry Dean of Austin bears the distinc-
ton of being one of the heaviest losers to
a slot machine. Dean claims to have visited
The herald., 1897-11-14

the Wabash saloon late on Thursday night
and in three hours play to have lost $3o
against a never-pay apparatus.
Yesterday he called at police head
quarters and complained to Acting Chief of
Police Collaran that he had been robbed by
the machine without having a ghost of
show to win. The acting chief promised to
look into the matter. but when Dean called
during the evening he was given no salts
faction. He left declaring he would swear
out a warrant for eX-Alderman Schoen-
dorf the proprietor of the saloon.
The machine into which Dean claims to
have sifted $35 in nckels is new and
highly improved affair. 1t has six slots and
is so constructed that it can be set to get
the money ten times as fast as the older
and more crude machines.
When q reporter visited Schoendorf's
saloon last night twenty-five men and wo-
men were crowded about the big machine
feeding nickes into the slot. but getting
nothing in return. Proprietor Schoendorf
was asked about Deans heavy losing. and
denied the truth of the statement. He said
the slot machine had only earned $40 on
Thursday. day and night, and so it was
impossible for Dean to have lost the
amount of money he named.
Chief Kipley's recent order regarding the
abatement of slot machines has become a
dead letter, and there are now more of these
devices in operation in Chicago than ever
before. They are all of the skin" pattern.

canaigre root to market, even in it's dried
state. The cost of freight is too great.
The root has a market value, and when
the extract can be made in large guam
titles the saving on freight will be
large profit to the producer.
Again. it is very doubtful il it will
pay to grow canaigre on high priced
land. 1t will grow just as well on cheap
land as on more expensive soil which is
more valuable for other products.
RIALTO'S DESTINY
Rialto is in the true orange belt of
Southern California. The area that
can raise a choice orange is not so large
as few years ago was supposed. Good
orange land is worth more than land
devoted to any other product of the soil
that is raised on a large scale. This
Will always be the case. Water can be
procured for the Rialto lands and with
1t the owners of that soil will utilize it
to raise such crops as will bring the
most money to the acre, the cost of
production considered.
Rialto in the future will not be a
canaigre plantation; it will be an or
chard largely planted to the orange.
This is it's manifest destiny. Anyone
who attempts to change that program
will lose money in the operation. This
is the way, at least, that the matter looks
today.
The canaigre plantations of the future
in Southern California will be found in
low priced lands There are thousands
of acres of so-called desert lands that
can be utilized for the growth of can
aigre If the Victor reservoir could be
built it would make possible the growth
of enough canaigre to supply the mar
ket for some years to come. Canaigre
grows during the fall, winter and
spring, when water is plentiful and is
not needed for anything else, and it
does not grow in midsummer when
water is valuable for other productions.
This is the key to the canaigre situation.

Mining BoomS

We have had during this very year
two examples of the insanity which may
characterize a mining boom. One was
the start towards the Klondike of not
far from ten thousand men, when the
chances were all against reaching the
district not to say against the realia-
ton of wealth after getting there. out
of the ten thousand, IL is believed that
not more than four or five hundred
reached Dawson or any place near there
The other boom to which we refer was
the absurd rush to Trinity county be-
cause a couple of miners on claim
which they had worked for long time
discovered a pocket and took out S2O,
900 or 100000 worth of gold. We do not
want this fiasco repeated, and If the San
Francisco business men cannot lead peo-
pie to distinguish between an intelligent
investment in mines and a blind rush
they would do well to do nothing at all

THE HEAVY FOG.
Mayor Fawceft Undertakes TO Get Rid

Bartow'x Examination Todsy-The
Hotel ChiIberg Changes Hands.


Special Dispatch TO the Post-Intellligencer.
TACOMA Oct. 2.-During the dense
fog that prevailed this forenoon and most
of the afternoon the Alaska steamer City
Of Topeka went aground on Brown point.
while on her way TO this port. She
grounded about 100 feet the other side Of
the point about 1890 this afternoon and
remained a captive until $780, Then, with
the aid of a line frcm the tug Favorite
and fun tide, she got off and proceeded
on her way TO Ocean dock. The beach
where the Topeka rested is sandy and
quite free from boulders and rocks. which
is a fortunate circumstances. as with the
presence Of these a hole might have been
torn in her hull.
The intelligence that the Topeka was
ashore was brought to the city by the
steamer Flyer on her l o'clock trip. Agent
Carleton Immediately set about making
arrangements to have the vessel gotten
of. Capt. Wallace blew his whistle all
the way up the Sound, and went on reck-
onings and the echo of the whistle. In
the vicinity of the point he lost the echo,
which threw him az sea, and before he
knew where he was the ship was on the
beach. Men were sent ashore to exam
Inc the nature of the beach, which was
found TO be free from rocks of any kind
With this information the skipper was
content 10 wait until the tide would raise
him. There is practically no damage.
