Court Excludes the Barnet Letters as I'M
proper.
NEW YORK, Oct. ga strong point
was scored by the defense in the trial of
Roland B. MolineuX today when Justice
Lambert ruled out the Barnet letters.
Justice Lambert decided that, as evil
dence, the letters must be excluded as
improper, but that he was willing to adj
nit them simply as standard Of COMPARE
son in handwriting.
The counsel for the defense was highly
pleased with this decision, which is in
line with that of the court Of appeals
which held that the testimony relative to
the letters, given at the first trial. was ir-
relevant.

Well; if the coal barons will only
sell through their own sale agents,
that's all right. That they consent to
sell at all is the thing, and that they
would not do evidently if they could
help themselves. 1t will be news that
they have in recent years sold other
wise than through their own agents.

MYSTERY
OF the Death Of Robert Floyd Yet
UnsoIved.
Jury Said he Was Blown to His
Death.

i -
An inquest has been held over the
body OF Robert Floyd, who was muir
dered Tuesday night at his home near
Warrington.
The jury returned the following YER
dict:
"we find that the said Robert p.
Floyd came to his death on the 2sd
day of December, 1902, at his residence
in Warrington district, Marion conn
ty, West Virginia, about the hour OF
s:i5 o'clock p. M, from a terrific ex-
plosion which wrecked and ruined the.
greater part of his dwelling house and
crushed four or five of his ribs on the
left side and otherwise injured and
bruised him, which crushing and
bruises instantly killed him, and
which explosion was caused by the ex-
ploding of some high explosive, beliey-
ed to be nitro-glycerine, at and under
the dwelling house of said Floyd
while he was asleep thereinl by some
person or persons to the jury as yet
unknown, with intent to feloniously,
miliciously, deliberately and unlaw.
fully Stay, kill and murder said Robt.
P. Floyd"
So far efforts to locate and identify
the murderer have failed. The au-
thorities were unable to get. blood
hounds, and had no way to trace the
fiend.
Several theories have been advanced
and the belief is expressed that the
one who did this foul deed lives with.
in four miles of the scene of the muir
der.
Floyd was originally small farmer,
having but SO acres of land. The oil
production made him well-to.do. His
estate is valued at 100000. He has a
son and son-in-law.

Southern Pacific farninQS

As an evidence of the growth of the coast the financial report of the South ern Pacific railroad for the half year ended December 31 is interesting. For that period the total receipts were +3,67S, ,156, all increase of $4,82S, 22S over the same period of the year before. The figures also represent all average monthly gross income of abou, $7, ,270,- 900. Operating expenses and taxes were S27, ,3o7 ,07S, or an increase of S2,S77, ,499 oyer the corresponding months of the year efore. The total net income amounted to $16,S15.6 .652. After paying $S,711, ,791 in fixed charges and S5, ,236,S77 for betternients and ad- ditions, there was left surplus of S3, 400, sos.
 When d railroad adds S+,S2S, ,22S in one year to it's gross income for six months and S2,000,000 to its net in come for the same period the country it traverses must be in a healthy con ditiou. That much of the earnings will go into betterments of the road is certain, and that is favorable to con- tinued growth.

Mineral Map

Irving M. Hubon returned Saturday evening from trip to Carriso Creek and the Julian country, where he went to secure data for the mining map of the county, which he is making for the government.
 At present not very much is doing in d mining way, in that part of the county. The Barrett oil well was shut down, awaiting the arrival of the new drill-master, Ostander, and no infor- nation could be had in regard to the work. At Julian only one mill, the Helvetia, was running. The Ranchita mine, however, is being pumped out and work will begin OH that soon. A strike of lepidolite rock was reported near Julian, but when Mir. Hubon was there there had been no expert inves- lithia in paying quantities.
 MT. Hubon's next trip will be with Supervisor Griffin to the eastern end of the county, beyond the Santa Mar garita ranch, where some copper strikes are reported. The map, other than the outline and general work, cannot be made until all of the data is in in regard to the mines, water courses, etc.-San Diego Union.

CarlSOn'S Railroad

A San Diego correspondent writes: A special from Washington, D. C., says that eX-Mayor Carlson yesterday passed through that city, coming to San Diego to build the Yuma road. He said that he had been asked by some millionaire railroad men to make an estimate as to how soon such road would pay, and replied from the hour of completion, which would be in about two years after construction begins. He refused to give the names of these parties. When he arrives here he will probably have to deal with the San Diego-EaS railroad, to whom he was referred by the City Council. There was report recently that there was to be a meeting of railroad men brought together by Carlson, the pur- pose of which was to form a corpora ton with capital stock of SS,500,o00 for the immediate construction of the road. The meeting did not material ize. People here have not much faith in the ex-Mayor, who is thought to be too visionary.

perimeuts to increase its returns from Southern California lands.

formation which may we'll be worth considering by the people of this val ley. It is stated that the annual dis bursements of the American Beet Su- gar Company at Oxnard aggregate S2, ,333 800 and at Chino Sl, ,2l3, 900. The output of sugar at the two factories is stated to be: Oxnard, 1,250 tons; Chino, 12, 500 tons. It would appear from these figures that the cost of pro- ducing sugar at Oxnard is about 34 cents pound and at Chino Is cents q pound. It is believed that these fig ures do not include interest on the in vestments.
 The same newspaper says that con- siderable apprehension exists among French manufacturers in regard to the possibility of manufacturing sugar in Cuba at "a cents per pound. It is possible, at the existing low selling prices, for the Cuban product to be sold at a net profit of 80 cents per hun dred pounds.
 Information from other cane sugar countries is to the effect that the industry is being conducted with great profit, while the beet sugar in- dustry in Europe is accompanied with narrow margins of profit.
 Several experienced growers of cane sugar have given their opinions that sugar cane will thrive in Imperial val ley, and the universal opinion is. that sugar beets will do well here, having a longer harvest season than in any | other country where grown.
 It is of great importance that both sugar cane and sugar beets be care fully and thoroughly tested here, with view to making of sugar production one of our great industries, but if it should be found that both beets and cane thrive, there is reason to believe that the latter will bring the greatest returns 10 the growers.
 Sugar Beet says: "The following details of the campaign of 1901 at OK nard show that sugar beets are not only very profitable crop, but demon strate the fact that the Santa Clara valleyin Ventura county is the idea locality for their cultivation, both for tonnage, yield per acre and percentage of sugar contained: Number of acres planted in 1901, F, ,555; number of acres harvested, II, ,S99; number of tons de livered and sliced at the factory, l61, 7l0; average yield per acre, tons, 12 23-100; average price paid per ton, S+.S5; average amount realized per acre, $So. .0S; average per cent. of su- gar, l7 o-l0; highest average yield in any entire field (near OXnard), I.0S tons; highest amount realized from sale of beets, per acre, S1++,22; highest average per cent. of sugar in any field (near Hueneme), 24 o-l0. A study of the foregoing will show how valuable are the lands that produce such results, and S25o per acre, the prevailing price for choice bean and beet land, is not too high. In proof of this, one in- stance may be cited where the crops of a SO0-acre farm in Pleasant valley, planted to Lima beans and sugar beets, realized products sold in the market for over S2S,0 ,000.
