Perkins, and others.
1.-THE governor of the state has declsr-
ed many times that the plague has
never existed there. The business
men and citizens of San Francisco have
never believed 1t. We have not paid
any att ention to the stories. Naturally,
We would be more interested than any
body else If the plague WAS there.
THE people of San Francisco are in
daily contact with the Chinese, in every
line. They buy vegetables from them,
and conduct business day after day in
Chinatown, in what was supposed to be
the infected district. The quarantine
against San FRANCISCO however has not
hurt the business of that city . great
deal.
THAT IL has hurt Ell Paso there Is
no doubt to my mind, and l am eur
prised that 1t should have been allowed
to remain SO long as 1t has.
THE quarantine officer at San
Francisco Is allowed to Issue permits to
come through Texas. That If nothi ng
else, would show the whole thing to be
farce. The quarantine is not strict
either. When 1 came through several
gentlemen who had been in San Fran
cisco less that twenty days ago were
allowed to paes through. They were
we'll dressed men, however. Another,
evidently alaboring man, was held up
and put off the train.
THE last case reported In San Fran
Disco, and let me assure you that 1t was
not Q case of plague either. although it
was SO stated, was on July Sd. They
have not even reported a case for more
than forty days, The danger is passe
at the end of twenty days. Then why
should there be quarantine?
mo state is quarautiped against
San Francisco with the exception of
Texas. The men connected with the
board of health are anxious for it to
continue, however. There is an ap-
preparation of about $35, OC0 or $40. 600,
and while it lasts they do not want to
see the quarantine declared off, for so
long as 1t lasts there is money in 1t for
them. They are drawing salaries and
allowances for mileage, and they in.
tend to profit by 1t If they osn. 1 think
the vhole thing is an outrage, and that
is should be appealed to the surgeon
general Of the army"
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-08-23

the quarantine" said Mr.. Mitchell.
This amount of money would other wise
be now In the possession of the buei-
ness men of this city. 1 believe that
the hotels have suffered materially In
the outrageous quarantine.
People of any means passing
through Ell PAso would naturally stop
over here for q few days a. least. 1t is
city with characteristics peculiar to
Itself. Now these people are obliged
to take the northern routes in going
east, and great volume of ira dc Is
thrown directly out of the path of Ell
Paso.
"At no time has there been any
necessity for the quarantine. l can
state most positively that there has
not been a single case of bubonic pla-
one that would have spread If any
germs had been In the city. China
Town, the portion of the city in which
IL is alleged to have been, is q filthy
place, and the disease would nave
spread rapidly.
"The SCARE, and it has been nothing
but that, started in the police depart
ment, and the board OF health In San
Francisco. The police department want.
ed more men, and couldn't get them.
The board OF health wanted . big sp-
preparation. and they told the business
men there that If they did not get what
they desired they would tie the city NJ
and ruin business. Their action was q
threat, and they made the threat
good.
There was a meeting of prominent
business men to discuss the matter,
and it was decided not to make the
appropriation. A sensational news
paper appeared the next morninR
with the statement that Irving M.
Scott, president of the Union Iron
Works, has given $1,000. This was
denied the next day by Mr.. Scott.
1.-THE board of health then declared
til at the plague had broken out in the
Chinese colony. There are thirty
thousand Chiuamen living IN China
town, and 1t is natural that there should
be one or two deaths every few days
Every death that occurred there was
attributed to the plague.
Surgeon general Wyman repeatedly
stated that there was no sign of the
of she bubonic plague in San Fran
cisco. So did Judge Morrow, of the
United States federal, court senator

Ellie court for disturb bling the peace at

Of Houston, and Edward
Brown, of Burton, left FL Paso this
morning for a three weeks bunting
trip in the Sierra Msdre line for Ca
sas G-andes. From there they will
take pack horses and mules. and strike
out into the mountains.
All five members of the bunting
parry are we'll armed with Winchest-
ers, and have plenty OF ammunition for
q long trip and great deal of sport.
The object of the east Texas sportsmen
IL to bag many bear as possible.
Deer will not be beneath their notice,
but their svowed intention IL to make
war on bruiu. and judging from their
past records they will no doubt be sue
cessful. All of them are we'll known
In Houston aud the surrounding ooun-
try. Mr.. Singleton has already five
bear to bis credit, and expects to in
crease the number. The country to
which they are going is one of the
finest game preserves in the world.
With the party are four Dutch boar
hounds, capable of tsckling q bear or a
mountain lion. Mr.. Brown has q
number 80 express Winchester. and
seriously contemplated q project to
warn the bear in the Sierra Madre
country TO lay low and cay nothing for
several weeks.
Mr.. Boring is q proninert hardware

Every body next year In the country
near Houston, will raise rice, said be

The expenses for this year will be
about 1880, including pumping ap-
psrautus. trough, aud reaper, binder.
and thrasher. All over that will be

THE great expense will be the
pumping. In some districts there

completely ruined the cotton and there
will be only a email crop this year
The fields are grown with weeds, on
account of the rains, and the pods have
been washed off OF those plants that

John S. Mitchell, a we'll known busi-
ness man of San Francisco, gave utter
ance to some very decided opinions on
the quarantine against that city by the
state of Texas, at the Orndorf this
morning.
Mr. Mitchell characterized the
quarantine as q senseless opposition to
the interests Of Ell Paso, by the board
of health of Texas, which, he said, is
back Of the entire scheme.

- Two thirds of Kansas, west of the
eastermost tiers of counties, is expert
encing one of the most severe droughts
in the history of the state, and the
general opinion is that the Kansas corn
crop will be the smallest, in proper
tion to its requirement, for feeding
that has been raised in many years.
In 1899 it was 1885, 900 bushels: Sec
retary Codburn's report of conditions
on August 4 indicated yield this
year of about 145,000,00O bushels.
Since then there have been two weeks
of hot, dry weather, which has mate
rally reduced conditions, and the
most liberal estimates of we'll inform
ed men on 'Change do not exceed
100, 0,0OO,O 900 bushels, while many place

since the Kings Mountain Chapter OF
D. A. R. has undertaken the work
there is no longer any reason to doubt
it's successful carrying out. Further
details will be published later on. In
the meantime, subscriptions may be
made to Miss Moore at Yorkville, or to
THE ENQUIRER.
- Now that there is no longer any
danger of complications, The ENoUI.
RER will take occasion to state the
law as to Communication street tax in
Yorkville. For a number of years
past, the town council has been pro.
ceeding somewhat irregularlar in the
matter, and the present council has
followed its predecessors. The rule
heretofore has been $3.50 and more if
not paid within a given length of time,
in lieu of six days work, etc. Un.
der the old charter, the council had
authority to impose reasonable"
Communication tax. The amount was
not stated; but as a presumption OF
law it would not be fixed beyond the
amount the legislature had prescribed
for the county. The present charter
prescribes specifically that the town
council has the same powers with re-
gard to the streets in the town as the
county commissioners have with re-
gard to roads in the county. The
county commissioners have power to
make those subject to road duty work
four days, giving them the alternative
of paying g. There is provision IN
the law for punishment in the event OF
failure to pay. The ENQUIRER has
all along believed that the town coun-
Gil should hold strictly to the law IN
this matter, and representative OF
The ENQUIRER spoke to members OF
council on the subject before the cur
rent ordinance was passed. No atten'
ton was paid, however, to the infor-
nation, and we make the matter pub
lie now so that by this time next year
everyone will be able to know his
legal rights. The all important issue
involved is the strict observance of the
law.
