The True Garden of Hesperides.

Joseph D. Lynch's monthly periodi- cal for May the Resources of South ern California;" comes laden with the golden ripe thoughts well worth read ing. As a sample of this veteran jour- nalists style, we quote this para graph: Just as science often seem- ingly conflicts with religion; just as astronomical observations and geolog- ical conclusions invite skepticism and doubt so sometimes, the aggregated efforts of the press of Central and Northern California to misrepresent the climate and citrus possibilities of Southern California by unfair com parisons confuses the seeker after oc- cdental happiness and pursuits. But just as surely as the seeker after uni versal truths concludes there is Su- preme Creator and Ruler of all things, so the California immigrant quickly satisfies himself that the true Garden of Hesperides embraces that portion of our state generally designated as Southern California, and particularly the luxuriant counties of Santa Bar bara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego, whose superb climatic excel fences, prodigality of soil, and bland ishments of seasons are accurately known throughout our land.

CanteIOupes at IndiO.

Martin Buksky, a former resident of Oxnard, returned to this place on Tuesday after a stay of a few months at Indio near Kokel. He reported that two weeks ago, at the time of the two days of heavy west wind in this valley, one of like character swept with unresisting force across the Indio Valley, ruining crops. As result the melon crop will probably only be about half as large as was expected. He also reported that the country was being cleared off well, and that Geo. Bugbee and others from this section had progressed very rapidly on the improvement of their land. AS the district opens up wind brakes, etc., will be built to protect it from the violent winds.-Oxnard Courier.

Alrships to Race 900 Miles.

A long-distance airship race from St Louis to Washington, D.C., will be one of the features of the aerial tour nament at the Worlds Fair. The only condition attached to this, the longest race in air ever undertaken, is that the prize shall go to the craft landing nearest a fixed point in the national capital. This is only one of the features of the tournament and points and special prize will be given to the winner.
 Other items on the program include cash prizes for the lightest airsh1p motor for the greatest height attained, for the longest time in the air, for the longest distance traversed in any dl- rection and for the fastest straight way run of a mile and a return.
 The contest for the grand prize of $1OO,OO0 will be over course about ten miles long. Each contestant will have three trials and his average time will be considered his official record. The time must be at least twenty miles an hour to be considered.

Change of Line.

The Southern Pacific is preparing to abandon 100 miles of it's main line west of Yuma, and will build branch to take in the Imperial colony lands, and will follow the south instead of the north line of the Colorado desert. At Imperial a branch line will be built to San Diego. The company already has a force of surveyors in the field, and on account of the flat surface of the country it will take but short time to complete the lines.- Tombstone Prospector.

From Desert to Garden.

The Imperial Land Company has is- sued very handsome booklet entitled " From Desert to Garden" describing with words and pictures the great transformation which has taken place on the Colorado Desert in this county during the past two years. The cover of the booklet is an artistic piece of work in colors representing an es- thetic looking damsel in a Jenness Miller gown stretching out her arms over landscape dotted with orchards and beautiful homes. The illustra- tions are from photographs showing the actual growth of crops during the past season.-San Diego Sun.

Nothing but FrOStinO.

The exaggerated report regarding alkali at Imperial calls to mind the Los Nietos farmer, who when inter- rogated regarding certain white spots on his productive acres, answered, 'Yes, it looks like alkali and tastes like alkali, in fact is alkali, but on land that has raised a large family, lifted big mortgage anu paid the taxes it's only frosting on the pound cake of plenty.

There are now planted at and near Imperial, the new Colorado Desert town, over six thousand acres of grain and other annual crops The Press gives the figures at 3572 acres of bar ley, 391 of wheat, 69 of oats, 144S of alfalfa, and 793 of all other crops. And they are all growing with lush luxuriance that puts alkali tales to the blush.-Redlands Citrograph.

deeply affected by the decree of the court, are

present only be effected by the presence
of the railroad companies as parties defend

Upon investigation it might turn out that
the allegations of the bill are we'll founded
and that the state is entitled to relief; or it
might turn out that there is no intention or
design on the part of the railroad companies
to form any combination in disregard of the
policy of the state but that what is proposed is
consistent with that policy and advantageous
to the communities affected. But in making
such investigation court Of equity must in

be adequately represented and fully heard
When it appears to court of equity that
a case, otherwise presenting ground for Its
action, cannot be dealt with because of the
absence of essential parties, it is usual for the
court, while sustaining the objection, to grant
leave to the complainant to amend by bringing
IN such parties. But when it likewise appears

G. Mcdonald, commissioner Of the Cen
trail Passenger association, said:
The decision would seem to weaken its de-
in regard to the traffic rates. From ap-
pearances, should say that tho two decis-
ions seemed to differ very much. I don't
think the decision will have much effect as
regards the operations Of the road. What i'm
presses me most is that if it is not lawful
for associations to merge. then it ought not
to be lawful for the railroads to merge
F. H. Fogarty, the general agent OF the
Northern Pacific in Chicago, said:
The decision will not affect the operations
of our road. This merger will affect only the
finances, as l understand it. We expect to
do business the same as ever. We have re-
ceived order or notification of any sort
since the supreme court handed down its
decision. ...- i ~, ~ 50. s...ss Say. 49,

The decision is purely a legal and technical
one and it is very hard to tell just what

and no doubt the matter will still be fought
in the courts.

Boring strait in enormous steel lighters.
This II the trip promised five years hence

who have completed the preliminary work
and have arranged to start the building
of the Transmission railroad on April Is.
This line, which will be $50 miles in
length, will open up one of the richest
countries in the world. More interesting
and spectacular than that is the certainty
of its making what will be practically an
all-rail route to Asia.

Burlington road, and ]. G. Cornforth of
Denver and skaguay, have spent the past

Carrying the Scope of the

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Feb. 25.-It Is obvious that
as Attorney General Knox will at once
file a bill to test the Securities merger,
the apparent. advantage gained by the
company in yesterdays decision is en-
tirely nominal. The prospects at present
are for a protracted period of litigation,
the length or outcome of which is entirely
a matter of conjecture.
That this consideration is exercising
much weight. with the investment and
speculative public is clearly shown by the
narrow professional character Of current
dealings in the stock market. The large
interests which now control the bulk of
the floating stocks appear able and dis
posed to hold , market about steady.
How long they will pursue this policy is
matter of it is idle to guess.
1t is difficult to see how the conference
of Morgan and others with President
Roosevelt can materially affect the stu
alton so far as the government is con-
cerned. The administration has promised
to gring suit and, OF course, this will be
done. The outcome of such suit is not in
the power Of the administration to deter
mine or control, but must be left to the
judicial department.
Wall street has begun to calculate the
consequences of the attorney general
contention, upheld by the United States
courts. s-....
What Is II denominations" g.
The antitrust act is so biased in it's
meaning as to what is combination tina
practically every big railroad system and
large banking firm in the treet would
come within its meaning. Railroad after
railroad leases and operates. competing
interstate lines and there are many firms
in Wall street which. in connection with
other firms, dominate the policy of COM
peting lines. All these logically would
be subjected to similar attack under the
act. ~ .a....
To carry the point to an extreme, 1t
would be unlawful, in case the attorney
generals contention is upheld, for a
group of bankers to hold control of COM
peting systems; yet this is exactly what
Morgan, Hill and associates have done for
several years, having controlled the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
The Securities company was formed only
to prolong the life of the existing COM
bination or merger syndicatet and to ad.
nit new members into the group of own
erS. No criticism was heard of the ole
combination, yet knowledge of it was
general. Sc. -.
Its this new phase of the situation
forced ugon bankers by the federal au-
thorities which makes the case so intense
ly interesting to Wall street.

them as they deserve A vast majority OF
the people of Tillman's and McLaurin' s

DECISION LEFT WITH THE SENATE

Washington, Feb. 25.-The most i'm
portant development to-day in connection
with the Tillman- McLaurin episode was
the act Of president pro tenn Frye in or
dering the clerk of the senate to restore
the names of the two South Carolina SEN
ators to the roll If the present plan is
carried out, this will be followed by the
adoption by the senate of resolution
before vote on any other subject is
taken practically indorsing the action Of
the president pro tenn in ordering their
names erased and suspending the two
senators for some definite time.
The Frye order, was issued almost i'm
mediately after the senate convened to-
day and was the result Of conference
among the republican leaders. When asked
for an explanation Senator Frye said:
In my rulings yesterday I believe I was
strictly within parliamentary laws; senators
in contempt are not entitled to recognition
either to speak or to vote and logically their
names should not be called. still adhere
to that opinion; but, desrious of shifting
the responsibility from the chair to the SEN
ate, I have directed the clerk to restore to
the roll the names of the two senators from
South Carolina. ~ 49,.
Senate Must Decide.
When asked if the result of this action
would be the recognition Of either to vote
or speak, Senator Frye replied that 1t
| would not and that that question must be
decided by the senate. .-
Inquiry developed that there had been
a conference Of the republican leaders
and that the extent of Senator Frye's rul-
ing and especially it's far-reachng effect,
not only in this case, but as precedent,
had been extensively discussed the con-
struction being that the action OF the
president pro tempore in striking the
names of the South Carolina senators
| from the roll and his refusal OF a request
to have their names called, was beyond
| precedent in the senate and not entirely
justified. On this account it was decided
! that this particular phase of the question
i>should be Immediately taken up by the
committee on privileges and elections. To
Senator Burrows, chairman of that COM
| mittee, was entrusted the plan.
Suspensions Decided Upon.
[ It WIS decided that resolution should
be formulated providing for temporary
suspension and that this resolution should
be passed upon by Mr.. Burrows commit
tee and presented to the senate as soon
as possible tomorrow. .... ~
The general opinion was that the South
Carolina men should be punished for the
alteration and that suspension would be
the most practical and reasonable form
of punishment: The question of. time
will be determined by the committee to-
| morrow. :,.. *...s .- J.. -. ~ g. ..'

SECURITIES DECISION
Why the Supreme Court Refused
jurisdiction.

Jurisdiction.
Washington, Feb. 25.--In the case in
which the state of Minnesota made
an effort to secure the Intervention
OF the supreme court to prevent the
merging of the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern railroad companies
by injunction, Justice Shiras summed up
the judgment of the United States SUI
preme court refusing jurisdiction as fol-
lows:
AS the Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cifc railways are Indispensable parties with
out whose presence the court, acting as a
court of equity, cannot proceed. and as our
constitutional jurisdiction would not extend
to the case if those companies were made
parties defendant, the motion for leave to
file the proposed bill must be and is denied.
The opinion is voluminous one, but
the greater part Of it is a review of the
charge and the relief sought, Justice
Shiras said:
The case presented by the charges and
prayers of the bill is that the state Of Mime
sofa Is apprehensive that majority of the
stockholders. respectively, Of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railways have COM
bined and have made an arrangement through
the organization of corporation of the state
of New Jersey whereby such consolidation,
thing, joint control and management of the
| Great Northern and Northern Pacific railway
companies, shall be affected as will operate
to defeat and to overrule the policy
Of the state in prohibiting the con-
solidation of parallel and competing lines of
| railway, and therefore appeals to court OF
equity to prevent by injunction the operation
and effect Of such a combination and arrange
| ment g e. -, ) s..-.
i"1, Of
| He then stated that the question to be
determined was whether the parties to the
case were before the court and he held
| that 1t was obvious that the minority
| stockholders of the two railroad compa-
| MES are not represented in the contro-
| versy by the companies whose stock they
hold, and their rights ought not to be
attacked without hearing, even if it
were conceded that a majority of the stock
! in such companies, held by a few persons,
had assisted in forming some sort of an il
| legal arrangement. Moreover, it must
not be overlooked that it is not the pri-
vate interests of stockholders that are to
be alone considered" The opinion then
continued:
The directors of the Gteat Northern and
Northern Pacific railway companies are ap-
| pointed to represent and protect not merely
| the private and pecuniary interests of the
stockholders, but. the rights of the public al
large, which is deeply concerned in the pro-
| uer and advantageous management of these
public highways. 1t is not sufficient to say
| that the attorney general, or the governor OF
| even the legislature of the state can be con-
clusiyely deemed to represent the public in
trests in such controversy as that presented
| by the bill.
