GER had put hundred gallons of gaso-
line. The fire boys worked like heroes
to conquer the flames before they
reached the big tank of gasoline and
were successful.
The heat was so intense that the
screw tops were melted off the tops
of the big tanks and the small cases.
Why they did not explode is a mys-
terry. Had the big tank of gasoline
exploded there would have probably
been the worst fire i'll the history of
Corona, as the burning oil would have
been thrown in all directions.
The fire was caused by the oil on the
ground igniting from a small bonfire
which had been lighted to burn rub
bish.

Saloon Troubles Crop Up Again
The supervisors are confronted by the
question of whether Ludlow is or is not
in Ludlow precinct. The matter came
up on the matter Of the liquor license of
Mrs. Preston, which stated when filed
that Ludlow was in Bagdad precinct.

Ludlow precinct went dry" and the
people there objected to the saloon.
The license will probably be revoked
and hotel license granted in its place.
II this is not done the saloon will have
to be moved about four miles across the

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. ga
sensation was sprung before the city
council last night when the matter Of
the sale of the Rialto electric line fran
chise asked for by Seth Hartley came
up, resulting in the sale being hung up.
The prospects for the granting Of the
franchise are now exceedingly doubtful.
Attorney Byron Waters appeared on
behalf of John A. Cole, property
owner past whose property the line will
run. He submitted a lengthy brief, the
principal point in which was that the
city could not grant franchise for the
carrying of freight in the street by a
street railroad. The point is new and
novel one and created a sensation
among attorneys, of whom there were
a number present. h
The validity of the publication notice
of sale of the franchise was success
fully attacked with the result that the
council, by a tie vote, refused to again
order the notice to be published. The
matter, however, went over to next
Monday night, when Mr.. Hartley will
probably have his attorney present to
meet those who appeared on behalf of
the interests opposed to the line. While
the Santa Fe railroad was not openly
represented at the meeting 1t is gener-
ally understood that the real opponent
of the new line is that corporation.

afternoon they are sending up large

that section is in danger. The forest
rangers are lighting the fire with the
aid of ranchers In that vicinity and the

The work is carried on with difficulty
owing to the scarcity of water in that

may be recovered by the Nebraska in

This is the news that C. H. Roberts,

representatives of practically all the
mercantile interests of the Nebraska

The plans have been completed and
the campaign outlined, and the sole
purpose of the coming of the Omaha
host will be to prove to the people +
this section that despite the over
shadowing greatness of the windy city
and the city of slumber, Omaha is

GROWS vINELEss POTATOES.
Can Supply New Tubers at Any Sea-

A dispatch from Great Falls, Mont,
says: A local man has produced po-
tatoes without vines, and asserts that
he is now able to supply new pota-
toes for the market at any season of
the year. The inventor will not re-
veal the process in detail. He has
conducted his experiments in a box
4xS feet, in which there is a steam
coil for heating.
He states that he has succeeded
after much experimenting, in per-
fectlng a compound resembling soil
that when heated is a fertile field for
the development of plant life. In a
layer of this compound he plants po-
toe eyes, then another layer of the
compound with more potato eyes,
and so on until the box is filled.
He claims that in this compound
potatoes grow without any portion of
the vine of sprouts appearing above
the surface, that all growth is in tu-
bers and that it is not necessary for
either light or air to reach the pota-
toes at any stage of their growth,
elements of the compound serving the
purpose of oxygen.
At first the potatoes, when expos
ed to the air, rotted quickly, but now
this has been overcome, he says and
his experiment is an unqualified sue
cess after many years. Those who
saw the box he exhibited showing po-

Here, however, the analogy ceases; for the furtler MT Roosevelt gets away from the sen ate the nearer he draws to the people: while MT. Cleveland ac- quired the enmity of all.
 In February President Roosevelt let the senate know that he favored the ratification without amendment of certain arbitration treaties which had been negotiated by Secretary Hay. The senate resented what il deemed the unwarranted interler- ence of the president, and passed the amendments known to be ob- noxious to Mir Roosevelt. Now it is said the president will refuse to present the treaties to the powers with whom they were negotiated.
 On the other hand. when the I:sch- Townsend bill to fix railroad rates and grant more power to the ius,erstate commerce commission came before the house that body passed the measure by vote of 526 to t7. The bill was known as an administration measure and was supported by the democrats
