.NfWSOf TIE RAILWAYS
RUMORS REGARDING SOUTHERN
PACIFIC INTENTIONS
A Number of Officials Said to Be Here.
Hemet People Object to Con-
demnation Verdict

| 1t was said in certain railway circles yes
terday that the Southern Pacific company
is meditating some extraordinary COUP the
foundation for this idea was the statement
that number of high officials were in this
part of the state, including II. E. Hunting
ton, and that that gentleman, with the re-
firing disposition and modesty of the family
was indisposed to have his presence known.
Inquiry at the Arcade depot only brought
out the remark that you reporters ask too
many questions" and no more details could
be learned.
However, it may be set down as fact
that if H. Z. Huntington is here it is
in line with some work of benefit to South
ern California as well as to the Southern
Pacific, for this portion of the land has no
more ardent supporter, and no one with
more confidence in its future, than young
MIR. Huntington. 1t is entirely due to his
appreciation of the situation, as shown to
him by Superintendent Muir, that the per-
feet system of interviewed branches now
exists hereabouts, giving this city supe-
ror suburban and country railway service
tc that of San Francisco. He is more than
anxious to have the surf line via Santa Bar
bara completed, and would have done so had

of c. p. Huntington, who had to re-

Something of a Paradox

1t appears that the citizens up about Helmet
Valley are much worked UP over the ver-
dict of the jury in the case Of the Lakeview
and Northern Railway company against
certain land owners, for the purpose of get
ting right-of-way for the line to Lake
view. The jury's award was so excessive
that it is considered absolutely certain that
the company will not build the extension
unless sharp cut down is made as the re-
suit of an appeal N. S. Hawes is the
authority for the statement that the peo-
Pile of Lakeview do not regard the jurymen
who have brought about this state of things
with any favor, in fact, with almost hostili-
ty. He asserts that the amounts awarded
are about all the farms are worth-certain-
ly far in excess of the right-of-way. The
award is pronounced prohibitive by the cit
izens and they are Justly indignant" This
is probably the first time in California that
a community has found fault with jury
for ordering a railway to pay too much
money.

Trouble at San Bernardino

The San Bernardino people are making
some annoyance for the Southern Pacific
company because some of the rights-of-way
and franchises for the motor line from that
city to Cotton and Riverside have lapsed.
Some think that this should be taken ad-
vantage of and the operation of the line
which is now the property of the Southern
Pacific stopped forever. This is the height
of silurianism gone mad. The Southern
Pacific, it is we'll known, intends by means
of this motor line, to give that portion of
Southern California one of the most COM
plete systems of local railway service mag
Unable. 1t will be but few months until
this company has its line finished from Po-
mona via Chino to Riverside, and thence
to San Bernardino by Transforming the mo-
tor line into standard road in all respects.
The petty attempt to cause the company
trouble over what could not be sustained in
any court for a moment, shows lack of
discernment of what benefit railway is to
a town, particularly when its requests are
for nothing more than what simply equity
would grant.

proper to criticize the men of the
Second Texas regiment for object

not a practicle of necessity or ex

part of the work has not received
proper attention and the water re-
mains stagnant, endangering the
health of those who drink it. A
small quantity is used by the sub
scrlbers, but not enough to keep the
water in a potable condition. The
street hydrants should be opened
and all the water allowed to run out
and the mains filled with a fresh
supply. This, it is clear, should
not be neglected as it is of the
utmost importance that the water
works subscribers are furnished
with water in a perfectly healthful
state. Let the proper authorities
attend to this at once.

Parish and Municipal Boards of
Health.


The "parish" and the "munici-
paP' Boards Of Health created by
the new law, act 1872 of the Gen
eral Assembly, occupy an lmpor-
tAnt place with reference to local
sanitary matters.
Section 7 of the act provides:
That said parish and municipal
Boards of Health shall have power
and. authority to pass health and
sanitary ordinances for defining
and abating nuisances dangerous to
the public health; to regulate
drainage and ventilation witk
places of business and public re-
sorts; to regulate the carrying on of
trade and business injurious to
public health; for the disposition of
focal matter and garbage; to regu-
late the erection of buildings with
due regard to the filling of lots and
the grading thereof, and the ar
rangement of said buildings; for
the vacation of, demolishing of
buildings for the protection of public
health; for the registration of births,
deaths and marriages, and the
keeping of vital statistics to be
registered and reported to the State
Board of Health under its instruct
tons and regulations, and generally
all health and sanitary ordinances
necessary and incident to the proper
local sanitation Of the parish, city
or town in which they exercise
their powers.
Thus it is made plain that parish
and municipal Boards of Health
are empowered to pass ordinances
and otherwise act as an indepen-
dent body with relation to the
duties imp osed by law on the said
Boards, and are not dependent on
other local authorities to give force
and effect to health measures they
may adopt in the interest of the
public.
1t is evident, also, that municipal
Boards, especially, that mean to
seriously apply themselves to TIE
work they are called on to carry
out, will be entitled to the unst1nted
thanks Of their fellow citizens and
should receive their most earnest
support.

TROUBLE nv THE FIRST
Col. Stevens of the First Louisi-

ZfOC6LE Nv ZHE HLNo L .
Col. Stevens of the First Louisi-
ana appears to have peculiar tact
for getting at loggerheads with
somebody. This time it is with the
governor that the colonel is having
a little trouble. He wanted Lieut..
Sherburne appointed to succeed the
lamented Wood Lee as captain of
Company f, but it seems that the
governor did not see fit to act upon
the recommendation of the colon el
and issued a commission to Frank
Sims. AS the regiment is on the
eve of being mustered out it is not
apparent to the average mortal why
somuch is being made of the appoint
ment Of captain who will be called
upon to serve only a few days.
The Times Democrat suggests that
the reason may be that Gas Gin the
civil war a volunteer who goes out
captain will probably be General
before he is fifty" Already three
or four fights have grown out Of
Sims appointment and it is feared
more blackeyes will follow. So
pronounced is the dissatisfaction
caused by the action of the gov
ernor that Sergeant kean and
Lieut.. Sherburne have threatened
to resign if the governor persists in
making Sims captain. This is too
rrba racirnotiopc nf these
young men would doubtless be a
serious blow to both the. State and
Federal administrations. 1t is to
he hoped that their friends will pre-
vail upon them not to commit so
rash an act. Don't do it, boys.

The Cotton Growers.

Mr.. A. G.. Guilbeau, the we'll
known citizen of the Sixth ward,
was in Lafayette this week. Mr..
Cuilbeau informed us that only a
half crop of cotton would be made
in his section this year. The cater
pillars, he says, have played havoc
everywhere and have been more
destructive than ever before.
Paris green has not been used with
much success and in some fields the
cotton was almost totally destroyed.
Mr.~Guilbeau stated that he and a
number of other planters in the
vicinity of Carencro would go into
the cultivation of cane next year,
though not giving up cotton en-
tirely.
The prevailing prices have dis
heartened many of our cotton
growers who failed to see any pros
poets for the heecy staple. They
say they have waited patiently for
years for an amelioration of the
market, but every year the re-
suit shows how futile are their
hopes. Hence the determin alton
of many to reduce the acreage in
that crop and replace it with cane.
1t is safe to say that if the farmers
were all in a position to dispose OF
their cane, not many Of them
would persist in raising cotton.
The future of our cotton-growers is
certainly not bright. TO what
cause is due this deplorable Condi-
ton Of affairs it is Impossible to say.
a number of theories are advanced
by thinkers who claim to know 1t
all, solutions are offered by men
who pretend TO have the remedy for
the existing evil, but the fellow who
raises AZ and cent cotton gets
poorer every year. In vain h
tries to lift his head above water,
but unless he is the owner Of con
siderable land only by uint of
economy and incessaut toll he sue
coed. in eking out of the soil a
miser BILE existence. He struggles
along, disheartened by the failures
of the past, and not even impelIed
by that hope, which, we are told,
'.springs eternal in the breast Of
man, He knows beforeh and that
next ears prices will be lower than
those of the preceding season and he
plants cotton because he can't do
better. 1t is not surprising that
when an opportunity is offered to
raise cane he does so cheerfully.

:General" Adoph Meyer, one OF
New Orleans representative to the
lower house of the United States
Congress, is using his political in
fluence at Washington to have the
Second Louisiana mustered out.
In view of the fact that this worthy
statesman took it upon himself tic
do all in his power to keep in ser
vice the three Louisiana batteries
against the wishes of the members,
the erstwhile worrior must now real
ize that the well-pa;d gentlemen with

only voters in the army. His ''per-
nicious activity" is thoroughly in
consistent and shows clearly that he
has not at heart the welfare of the
Louisiana soldier. He at first
courted favor with few young Of
ficers and he now knows full well
that his action will not antagOnize

authorities will not muster "u>

The Cotton Situation.

l)alIy
1t is the unexpected which usu ally
happens when the price of staple
commodities is the question under
| consideration. This has been the
case during the past few days in
the cotton markets, all of which
have reacted from the depression
which brought prices down to the
level Of the lowest figure on record,
and in the case of New York, es-
tablished a new low record. 1t is
true that the improvement has not
been very great: but it is signifi-
cant because based upon reports of
less favorable weather conditions.
Present low prices are based upon
belief that the crop will be in the
neighborhood of 100000 bales,
or million bales more than last
have been forced below all previous
records and below the cost Of pro-
duction. No one will maintain
that the estimates SO far made are
upon data of temperature and
rainfall, more or less reliable, and
reports of correspondents, more or
less unreliable. q Credence is given
this or that estimate, not because
of any ones confidence in the data
obtainable or the source of lnfOr
nation derived from the cotton
producers, but because of belief
in the sound judgment and exper-
fence of the authority making the
estimate. The best and commonly,
most successful crop estimators are
not infallible and the wisest of
them cannot discount in advance
| weather conditions.
Every spell of bad weather from
now on, every threat Of early frost,
is certain to produce sudden and
sharp advances in cotton prices.
Every such happening will brighten
foreign spinners into buying
heavily, owing to a natural desire
to stock up before prices have
materially advanced. With prices
as low as they are now, a reaction
is more than likely to be sharp,
and should speculation revive to
any extent and take hold under the
impression that cotton is cheap,
even big estimates will not suffice to
hold prices down.
