DR.. Tibbott On St. George.

Since my short letter concern
ing trip to Florida appeared,
several have asked me why / said
nothing about St. George. In an
swer to all, l wish to say. The
letter referred to was written for
the purpose of allaylng a seem
ing i'll sion in regard to Florida.
in the minds of many who had
not seen it. But as to St. George,
l meant no slight to it, nor my
friends there. 1t would be the
height of presumption for me to
say anything about St. George,
as on my down trip l passed it in
the night, and GA the return trip
ny travelling companion was very
anxious to get home, and | saw
st. George from the train, only,
for a few moments. Anyway l
have long since recognized the
fact that st. George has an in
spired scribe, in the person of
"St. Godfrey" any one of whose
numerous epistles contains much
more than I might find to say in
year.
Some of ''St. Godfrey's"
chronological, historical and pro-
phetical ebu1itions remind one of
the first days Of Fitzgerald, when
blowing seemed to be the princi-
pal occupation of some of its first
settlers. One fellow wrote a
pamphlet in which he described
the place as the new land of Ca
naan to which our meek Moses
had brought us out of the wilder
ness. Many came here, no doubt
attracted by these exaggeratious,
with wild anticipations of milk
and honey, vineyards and orr
chards, simply to be appropriate
ed; and no doubt they thought
Jerico would fall after few
blasts, but a closer acquaintance
with the country discovered the
gopher, the razor back hog, the
scrub COW and a dense pine forest.
There was no discount on the
blowing but it did mislead many
honest simple people who came
here entirely unprepared to con-
tend with the real situation,
whose disappointment and dis
courage ment reacted against the
place. But the fellows who came
here aware of the fact that there
were no elisian fields on this mum
dane sphere, discovered what
most likely they expected, and
had found every place else, that
it was simply the same old case
of root hog or die" aud they |
went to work and it was real
roofing for a while, but the
acorns have turned up, to such a
degree that the pine forest has
been transformed into farms, |
producing a bale of cotton per
acre. and a f1ourishing city whose
taxable property is valued at over
a million and half dollars. The
lands that were bought for one
dollar FER acre are low worth
from ten to fifty dollars. But
none or this is the result of blow
ing. 1t required actual practical
work to develop these results
that VIC now enjoy.

form at present as in all of the races
but one he sent the fields off poorly.
Cloverton was heavily played to win
the fifth race. After being prominent
to the head of the stretch he faded
away to nothing. The distance was too
far for him.
1t is about time the Judges would
get after Jockey Hildebrand for rough
riding. When he rode Interlude last
Thursday he shut off Cerro Santa at
the half-mile pole, causing her to lose
the race. Yesterday on Hans Wagner
he carried Emperor of India wide when
there was no occasion for it and on
Cloverton in the fifth race at the start
he cut right across to the rail so that
the balance had to pull up.
The stirring up that Lawrence got in
yesterdays Herald had n good effect
on his riding. He had four mounts
yesterday and was never out Of the
money.

Great erowth Of ovater Seed

Recent trial dredglngs upon the
natural beds of the Delaware bay show
that seed oysters are more abundant
than at any time in the history of the
industry of the state, and the planters
are facing prosperity. The oldest plant
ers in the business declare that they
have never known "spat" to develop
in such quantities. Many single shells
taken from the beds are covered with
sufficient small oysters to fill a half
bushcl basket.
This development has led many of
the more important planters to advo-
cate the closing of the bay for one year
to give the seed a better opportunity to
develop. 1t is declared that If this
step were taken there would be enough
seed to plant Maurice river cove for the
next twenty-five years. The small
planters are opposed to the suggestion,
as they would be obliged to give up
business for at least one season. New

there are many who believe that he
can take the measure of the Green b.
Morris filly. The latter has shown
wonderful class here, and out of seven
starts has only been beaten once and
that was when she was left at the post.
Descuento has started three times and

Lady Nnora is about due TO win and
should not be overlooked the next time
out. Showed a lot of early speed yes
terday.
Interlude was the medium of big
killing and never left the result in
doubt. In his last two races he was

In Defence of City Assessment
Communicated

We need not fear that the county assessor will raise the valuation of our property because we, in the city, assess ourselves high, for he can not do so. He must assess equally all over the county. The state board too must not pay any attention to our assessment, for it must assess equally all over the state. Cities quite generally assess higher than counties.
 San Diego city assesses two or three times as high as the county. National City about twice as high as the county. Redlands about one and half times as high as San Bernardino county. River side higher than Riverside county. Los Angeles higher than Los Angeles county. In fact each tries to put the valuation as low as it can and still raise the amount necessary. Let Imperial stand forth and improve itself. The cost is a mere trife on each property holder.
