The opening ball Of Music Hall last
night WAS a thorough success socially.
The attendance, however, was o %
good AS it might have been especially on
this occasion. Mrs Gowan has been to
q heavy expense in making Music Hall
look so nice and roomy. The electric
lights are q wonderful improvement
also and add to the good appearance.
The music was furnished by Jennie
Marshall, VIM. Cascagnette. ID. Wash
elm and j.. Ortega and was excellent.
Our home orchestra now furnishes first
class dance music. The supper was
given by the Ladies' Aid Society and
was wonderful for the amount charged.
The Soc ety desel yes credit for the ex-
cellent manner in which they manage
their eats. Mrs. Gowan also deserves
creditor the giving of this event as it
was thoroughly enjoyed by all who
attended and probably her receipts will
be nothing after the expenses OF the
affair.

Do Not Crow.

Once upon a time it was customary for
new papers who had won a political en-
/ gagement TO crow. Onr predecessors VIE
Nere great and haiorej journalists USED
to place ram pant ROSTERS at the mead al
their editorial columns and depict by bad
wood cuts their opposition NJ a dead
cock in the pit, plucked and blet ding.
We have always failed to recognize the
hunor in this sterotyped car,ooning.
The pride nf the victor is pardonable,
but the humiliation oil All rf,.mv is a
relic OF barbarity which il no connnen-
lied 10y the American prople. During
the brief ~sujourn of the e,iiior ct this
pa per on the Comsiock, ii memory
serves us it was four years ago. Que Vir-
ginia paper displayed u choice set oil
cockerel in its first edition after the eIec-
ton, but u few days afterwarl the paper
ON tile other side OF the political fence
borrow ed the old and somewhat worn
wood cuts and came out ornate with the
same display vi self conscious poultry.
1t was u case OF having laughed too soon,
and it il invariably the case that he who
laughs last laughs best.
II ever u Journal felt constrained to
smile that journal is the Territorial
Enterprise over the result of the
recent election, but We restrain risi-
bles and our look OF joy gives place to
one OF sympathy for the defeated Silver
party candidates. There are men who
belong TO the Silver party who look up
on the defeat OF their principles in this
county as a national calamity, and with
these VIZ sympathize, partly because OF
their disappointment and partly at their
misguided estimation OF things political.
The Republicans have done we'll in
this county and have proven themselves
worthy OF being II part OF the greatest
political organization the world ever saw.
We all ieel like Growing, but the reasons
we don't are firstly, because Growing is
always in bad taste, insonuch as it must
jar the high strung sensitive natures of
so,ne people, and, secondly, we won't
crow lecanse we did Lot get everything
in sight.-Enterprise.

Sale of Fraudulent Goods

Four complaints have been filed in the
circuit court, two each against Fresno and
San Diego firms, for putting fraudulent
goods on the market. Jacques Richard
Maurice Hennesy ct al. of Cognac, France,
complain that Paul Rubens and Robert
Rubens of Fresno are selling brandy under
fac SMILES of their trade name and mark,
labels, bottles and caps, to the great IN
Jury OF the business and reputation they
have established. The same family file a
complaint for similar cause against the
Klauher Wagenhem company of San
Diego.
Carlos D. Alfredo and Luis Seigert of the
Island of Trinidad have also filed conf
plants against the same firms for selling
fraudulent Angostura bitters, made by
them in the Island of Trinidad. They al
lege that their father, Dr. Johannes G. b.
Segert of Angostura, Republic of Ven
ezuela discovered the secret of a cordial
and aromatic bitters about the year 1880.
In 1916, by an act of the legislature, the
name of the town was changed to Ciudad
Bolivar. In 1875 the family removed to the
Port of Spain, in the Island of Trinidad,
where they have invested much money and
labor in building up their business in the
manufacture of said bitters. Fraudulent
bitters are being sold under the name,
labels and trade mark greatly to their in
jury, and they therefore pray damages of
the court and an injunction restraining the
sale of such goods.

A Californian Passes

Judge Henry Booth. one of the pioneer
lawyers and former president of the Chi
cago Law school. has just quietly passed
away at Minden, Neb. Judge Booth has
made his home in Southern California the
past few years, desiring, in the decline of
life, to enjoy this mild climate and escape
the rigorous winters of Chicago. His
home for two years had been in Pasadena.
He and his wife Ca niece of the Ri. Rev.
Bishop Morris of the Episcopal diocese
of oregon were en- route to Chicago for
a visit, and stopped at Minden, where a
married daughter resides. An accident
while riding proved too great shock to
his nervous. system, and on friday after
noon he peacefully slipped away from his
sorrowing children, the most of whom
were at his bedside.

OIL MEN ORGANIZING
They Elect Board of Directors for a
Protective Association

Some of the Oil producers of this city
met last night at the chamber of COM
merce for the purpose of effecting an or
ganization, to be named the Los Angeles
Petroleum company, that will have for its
aim the maintenance of a living price for
oil. In order to overcome the defective
workings of former organizations, which
persisted because their directors had no
direct interest in their success, 1t was pro-
posed that the directors of this prospective
new organization should be selected by
ballot from among the oil producers of this
city.
This election took place last night, re-
sulting in the following-named mems being
returned as directors: Edward North, W.
L. Young, l.. G. Parker, M. l.. McCray
and John Rommel. Fifty-nine wells, owned
by about twenty-five producers, represent
ed the total vote, at the rate of one vote
per well.
These five directors will incorporate the
new concern, and Mr.. North, who was
unanimously elected manager of the cor
poration-to-be, will appoint assistants to
go over the field and get pledges from the
producers that they will agree to execute
a contract, which was submitted to the
which is believed to be so drawn that 1t
can be legally enforced.
1t was the idea of some of the producers
that if block of from 80 900 to 40 900 barrels
could be sold in San Francisco at once, 1t
would, if properly pro-rated among the oil
men, relieve full tanks and empty purses,
but that organization was Indispensable to
gain such an end. One of the doubling
Thomases present, by name Mr.. Tubbs,
remarked that San Francisco prices con-
trolled the market, and If the price there
per barrel was so much, all the combina-
tons, organizations and associations in
the world would not cause an advance in
price here while quotations above were
below it. Having thus thrown all the
cold water he could upon the prospective
Los Angeles Petroleum company, Mr..
Tubbs declined to vote for its board Of d.
rectors.

mittee seems to have no definite object in
view"

THE FIRE EATER

Fair Cuba must be free!" he cried,
And waved his arms the while;
LET Freedoms everlasting tide
Beat round the lovely isle!
The tyrant must be put to rout.
His bloody sway must cease
Arise, Columbia, drive him out,
And give the freeman peace!
"Oh, what shame that noble men
Should bow before a child
Should be undone or raised up when
A woman frowned or smiled!
What freeborn man who hears today
May further stay his hand?
Let tyranny be swept away
From Freedoms chosen land!'
AT last he quit the halls of state.
And, homeward. musing, strolled-
His wife was mad for he was late,
And dinner had got cold!
She made him grovel on the floor,
She jawed him to peak;
He promised to be late no more,
When she gave him leave to speak.
And when the fearful strife was done
The man who wanted gore
Was mounted by his little son,
child of nearly four!
On hands and knees he galloped round,
With q tyrant on his back,
Till mamma, wrought up by the sound,
Ruled horse and rider from the track.
