A curious story Of James Russell
Lowell Is told. It runs about as fol-
lows and deals with witch FARM"
The place is a forest near New York,
at some distance, but within a walk
from the city. On the edge Of the for
est a farm will at times appear which
no one remembers to have ever seen
unless he happens to be among the
few who have had the uncanny privi-
lege. There is no one about the farm,
no sound is heard, yet there are signs
Of busy occupation. The door is open,
empty milk pals lean against the wall,
newly cleaned pans and dairy utensils
and butter churns are set out to dry;
clothes hang on the line in little dry
ing ground. .... ~ 49,.
Whoever chances on the farm sell
dom stops long to look. He will pass
on, thinking to himself: II don't seem
to remember that farm. / must in
quire about it in town." In town not
q soul knows anything about it, and
never will that person see the farm
again, however often he may return to
look for it. Then others will go out to
seek the witch farm. Over and over
again will they pass and repass the
very spot where it had been seen, re-
tracing their steps and puzzling and
saying: 1T must be there. We have
mistaken the way"
They are few indeed to whom the
spectral farm has shown itself. - Low
ell himself once saw it. On the verge
Of the wood he passed homestead
which appeared precisely as has been
described. Lowell saw it all and pass
ed on without thinking, then suddenly
stopped short with feeling of some
thing strange, turned and sauntered
slowly back. But no house at all was
there, and he was unable to find again
the exact spot where it had been

OREGON FOR THE HoMEsEEkER.

The Lewis and Clark Exposition to
be held at Portland in the summer of
1905 has drawn attention to Oregon
and It's attractions as a permanent
abiding place. No other section has
so many advantages in the way of
mild climate, fertile soil, good markets
for all kinds of farm produce and ex-
cellent schools and churches.
The Southern Pacific has issued
some interesting pamphlets descrip-
tive OF Oregon and i8 resources, which

THE RANcHERS "YELLow PERIL"

The yellow peril" about which so much has been
said and written lately, has already appeared in the
United States It's presence is reported right here in
Southern California in the heart of the orange belt
Notice OF its arrival served the Redands board
of trade few days ago in the form of petition re-
citing that the sgners thereof regarded the ntroduc
ton of Japanese labor into this section real yellow
peril one that should be thoroughly investigated and
firmly deah with" The petition emanated from white
(or more properly, non-Japanesel orange pickers.
The Herald on former occasion alluded to racial
trouble in the present orange harvest but the situation
since then has become more serious. There are not
nearly enough white pickers to handle the crop, the
value of which depends largely prompt and proper
picking There abundance of Japanese labor avail
able which is quite satisfactory to the growers, but
the whites demand that the yellow peril" shall be kept
away
Now note few of the remarks made by practical
orange growers, who members of the Redlands

affairs:
Henry Fisher one of the weathiest men in San
Bernardno county said he had used Japanese labor
this year and found that the Japs gave much better
service than the whites whom he had previously en-
ployed"
e. NJ Lyon, one of the largest growers in the orange
belt said in respect to large percentage Of the white
pickers that they work two three days long enough
to get money go spree with then they quit and
the performance has to be repeated"
c. L. Hayes another prominent grower. said: There
is no scarcity white aborers but the trouble is that

says: Riverside orange growers say it would be

TEMPERANCE REFORM INNOVATION

The UNIQUE plan of weaving men from the LIQUOR
drinking habit by putting within their reach all the
liquor they drink is making headway in the United
States. 1t is the English reform plan to which The
Herald recently called attention. The basis of 1t is
public house. controlled by ardent temperance workers.
in which intoxicating liquors may be had at WILL but in
which every nducement is offered the drnker to take
only nonalcohoic beverages The leading idea is that
if the drnker knows he get all the ntoxicants he
wants. pay for he will be amenable to persuasion
in favor of harmless drinks particularly in view of the
wholesome temperance environment
About a year ago number of New York philan
hropsts, with Bishop Potter in the lead, introduced
this English temperance plan in that city, and it is
said have quite successful interesting
is about to be made by the big Colorado Fuel and
Iron company, which employs thousands of men. For
years that company has been experimenting with all
sorts of plans aimed reduce the drinking habit among
its workers. Everything from the always wde-open
saloon strict prohibition has been tried The result
is report that not only have all makeshfs for
saloons failed prohibition has had the worst effect
of all on the men,"
Now the big company declares that it is going in
for the real oldtme saloon where a will be able
to get any sort of drink that he wants and much
of it as carry" The reform feature, following
the English plan will be the giving of every oppor-
tunity for the drnker to eschew alcoholic beverages
and take instead others that will be nvtingy offered
and which will be urged to drink According to the
plan milk, tea, coffee and other soft beverages will
be constantly at hand, together with sandwiches and
other toothsome snacks; and music halls cards
and billiard will be made attractive than
the barroom pure liquors will be provided and they
will be for sale at the modicum of profit
1t is said in behalf of this seemingly anomalous
means of temperance reform that produces obviously
good results while it is claimed the other hand
that prohibition has invariably proved to be failure
in practical application

CITY WILL TRY
HAND SWEEPING
HANLEY GETS FORCE OF MEN
FOR EXPERIMENT
Merchants offer to Help Defray the
Expense II Municipal Governs
ment Is Too Poor
10 Pay

The council had made a temporary
arrangement whereby street superin-
tendent Hanley will have fifty men to
sweep the streets of the business sec
tlon of Los Angeles by hand. Other
arrangements for placing the street
department in position to cope with
the problems that confront it will be
discussed at special meeting which
is called for o'clock Wednesday even
ing.
street superintendent Hanley pre-
scented report to the council yester-
day afternoon in which he asked for
the appointment of the fifty men and
also for general rearrangement of
his forces. Under his plan he will have
$50 pick and shovel men, large force
of men and teams and his usual office
force.
Dr. William Dodge, chairman of the
citizens committee, and Secretary Zee
handelaar of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association, appeared before
the council and urged the appointment
of the fifty men. Zeehandelaar said
he had done some canvassing among
the business people and was assured
of enough money to pay the wages Of
ten men for five months if the council
could not raise all the money.
The sentiment of the council was
against any proposition involving as
sistance from the citizens on the
ground that they have already paid
their taxes and are entitled to clean
streets without additional expense.
The discussion revealed the fact
that the city is already S175,000 be-
hind it's appropria tion for the first half
of the fiscal year. This does not mean
that the city has no money, but that
the expenses of the city government
will greatly exceed the estimates in
the budget if the present ratio of ex-
penditure is continued until the end
of the year.
The district within which the hand
sweeping experiment is to be tried eX-
tends from Main to Hill and from
Temple to Tenth streets. 1t is pro-
posed to wash the streets under pres
sure and then scrape and sweep them.
superintendent Hanley said he in
tends to organize his sweeping force s
upon ward lines. A force of men will
be put at work in each ward under a
foreman. In this way it will be pos
sible for the superintendent to know
at the end of each day exactly how
the work has progressed in every par t
of the city.

portant triumph of the Sherman antitrust law was
scored not only in respect the particular trust in

is significant also that all the justices coneurred
in the opinion. The hinged the continuance of
