STILL MAKING RECORDS

Since April IS, the day of the great
disaster at San Francisco, every day
has been a legal holiday in California
by special proclamation of the COVER
nor. The disaster itself tended to throw
a damper upon all kinds of business,
and for the closing weeks of April and
the first part of May not much else was
attempted in Los Angeles beyond a
continued effort to alleviate the suf-
fering and distress of our northern
neighbors.
Hence it was not anticipated that
Los Angeles would make any par
ticularly good record in the real estate
building or commercial line during
the month of May, especially since the
legal holidays are still being declared
Nevertheless the bank clearings for
May in Los Angeles increased S., 900, 900
over May, 1905, the clearances during
the past month reaching the large
sum of $47. 320, OPS, as compared with
S42, 4O1, ,26O.Sl during May of last year.
Nothing that Los Angeles has done
III lue way Ol tNlHCHlB commercial
stability and permanence quite equals
that record
During the month of May. also, sos
building permits We're issued. for inn
provements valued at $1,O5l,S39, sub
stantial increase over the May record
of 1905.
1t must he remembered also, that
not only were legal holidays being
daily declared during May, but one
week of that month was almost wholly
devoted to the pleasures of La Fiesta
And yet, in despite of all these him
dering Incidents, Los Angeles has
made large increases in its commercial
business and in its general growth and
development.
There is no further chance for any
knocker to question the future of Los
Angeles. 1t is a permanent city and as
the largest city on the Pacific coast
will eventually control most of the
commerce Of the western world.

HEARST AND HIS DUTY

The arrest i'm Washington this week
of one William Randolph Hearst, whose
one claim to notoriety is his yellow jour
nalistic horror, because he was absent
without leave from his seat i'm the
national house which New Yorks mis-
taken Democracy presented him, calls
anew attention to the hypocrisy and
double-dealins of that modern Ananias.
Hearst is n great prater about civic
duties righteousness, responsibility and
many other good things His minions
write long editorials, glitteping with
cheap platitudes, about the recreant ma
tional government, its neglect of duty,
its corruption and its incompetence,
and often these appear under his sigma
ture His yellow sheets set themselves
Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-01

up as public censors and devote loud
yeips to bersting members Of congress
upon all occasions for betrayal of the
public trust and other cheap claptrap.
And few-thanlfully a very few
really believe that this unspeakable
Hearst is a real man and is really in
earnest IN these mouthings.
What shock. then, must have been
the disclosures brought about by
Hearst's arrest to the few sincere dupes
who follow him. Here he was, the loud
mouther against earnest and hard
working public servants, hailed before
the bar Of the national house as an
unwarranted absentee. caught by acci-
dent in Washington for the first time in
three morths; neglecting entirely the
duties he swore to perform, yet never
failing to draw the stipend which he
utterly failed to earn. What spec,
tacle he made, to be surel
But will he now stop his abuse Of de-
cent men and admit that he Is a double
dealer and hypocrite? Not much. lie
will go right on claiming the overlord-
ship Of the universe, and claiming to
have accomplished every good thing
done, from creating the world TO tend
ing the newest baby born i'm stricken
San Francisco. Bahl what a stencil
arises even when his name is writ!

balloon up, only to subside and drop it
again. Wartscher had thrown out his
last sand bag and now he cut loose his
life boat and took a sma4l buoy in
stead. Even so he could not rise. He
did not give up, however. Instead, he
twisted himself into the cordage at the
ring which hangs just above the bas-
ket and cut loose the basket which
came cashing down. Wartscher then
pulled off the life preserver and threw
it away.
Big Crowd Cheers
Then the balloon began to rise and
cheer broke from the big crowd. The
balloon was sighted by yachtsmen on
Sheepshead bay who started to follow
it, but were soon distanced. 1t was
sighted from Bergen beach and finally
from Rockaway beach. Wartscher had
let out some of his gas and struck
lower breeze, which luckily bore him
to the land.
AS he approached the beach he tried
to land the balloon. The upper roll Of
the air current carried him clear of the
narrow land strip, barely ten yards
above ground and out upon the waters
of jamaica bay. AS he drifted out
northward over the bay, watching
yachtsmen tumbled into their craft
and gave pursuit But the breeze was
Course of Balloon Erratic
It's course was erratic and dangerous
for the aeronaut. The balloon would
rise perhaps fifty feet and then plunge
down to the water when it would
strike the waves broadside and scatter
spray, only to bound up again like
great elastic ball.
Wartscher had strapped himself to
the wooden ring with his leather belt.
After q while the balloon stopped
bounding and rolled along the surface
of the water with the aeronaut help
less and tangled in the cordage, now
above water and now under.
Finally it stranded in the long
grasses of Black Hill marsh where
three fishermen slashed up the silk
with their knives.
Under the mass lay the aeronaut,
unconscious from the water and escap-
ing gas They revived and clothed
him. He was painfully bruised and
still suffering from the effects Of the
gas.

Today the transcontinental railway
lines begin their new series Of summer
excursions from the east to Los An
geles, and according to one of the Of
ficials I'VE are certain to see the larg-
est volume of summer travel to this
section during the next few months in
the history Of the state" Heretofore
the east has regarded Southern Cali
fornia as winter resort, when as a
matter of fact the summer climate of
Los Angeles Is equally delightful with
Its winter climate. for the days are
never excessively warm and the
nights are always cool. Moreover the
stretch of seashore and beach within a
half hours ride OF this city gives to
summer visitors more advantages than
they can enjoy anywhere on the At
lantic coast. We have been somewhat
dilatory in emphasizing the glories OF
our summer climate, but the enter
prise Of the railroads will assuredIy
turn the summer travel in this direc-
tion. And the thousands who come
will never regret it.

MOUNT WASHINGTON IS SOLD
Tract Including Famous Peak May Be
Made Forest Reserve by
the Government
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LANCASTER, N. H., May 31.-Sev-
enty thousand acres of timber land,
including Mount Washington, the
most famous peak of the White noun
tains, were transferred today by
Robert Osgood to the Garland, Cobb
& Stahl company, a numbering con-
Germ. The consideration was about
$75O0O0. Mount Webster also is in
,cluded in the area, which lies in Coos
and Carroll counties. Mr.. Osgood
bought the land last July under a
mortgage sale in the settlement of the
affairs of the Bartlett Lumber COM
pany. Whether the new owners will
cut over the tract is uncertain, They
are New Hampshire business men, who
are known to be interested in forest
preservation, and the opinion obtains
that their purpose is to secure this
tract as the nucleus Of "A White noun
tain reservation.

DIVERGENT STORM EFFECTS

The great range Of latitude and the
consequent variety of climate in Cali
fornia at times cause peculiar condi-
tions. The recent heavy rainfall, ex-
tending from the northern to the
southern boundary of the state, ffords
an example in point. The distribution
of rain was fairly equal throughout
the state, although the northern part
received, as usual, the larger portion
Reports from the north show that
immense damage was done to the
farmers crops of all kinds. The vast
fields of grain were beaten down by
the storm, causing mlldew and rust,
as well as making it difficult to reap
areas badly prostrated. Such fruits as
cherries, peaches, aprlcots and plums,
some already marketable and the rest
rapidly maturing, were ruined in some
localities and injured in all. Grapes,
berries and other small fruits, as we'll
as all garden vegetables, also suffered
greatly. AS a whole the damage to
vegetation in the middle and northern
portion of the state was the most Sc
we're in recent years.
In striking contrast with that situa-
tion in the north, we have reports from
the whole citrus fruit section of South
ern California to this effect: No in
jury to trees or fruit was sustained by
the storm, but on the contrary the
growers are felicitating them selves on
the prospect that it will not be neces-
sary to begin irrigation until a month
or six weeks later than usual. That
means an average reduction of perhaps
20 per cent i'll the quantity of water
necessary to pull the orange and
lemon groves through the dry season.
Some damage has been caused to the
hay crop of Southern California by
the recent rains, but it is trivial COM
pared with the effect on field crops
up north. Taking into account the
benefit derived by the orange and
lemon groves from the copious late
rains it is probable that the profit and
loss account to vegetation in the
Southland is fairly well balanced.

one vote. The member who were elect
ed did not get but six and eight votes
out of a class of thirty. A solemn file
made its way behind a screen, where
the units of the file were momentarily
detained, and when they emerged from
the recesses of the screen, which took
the place of the Australian voting
booth, they all wore broad grins as if
they felt better now that it was over
with.
One long, sandy-haired lad was the
cut-up of the class and he ogled the
girls merrily as he made out his bal
lot. His mission seemed to be to make
the members of the class laugh and he
fulfilled the evident purpose of his life.
Then the blackboards were cleared
by two stalWart youths who looked like
good football material to be, and the re-
suit of the election was announced. The
members of the board of control which
will rule the children of the seventh
and eighth grades with a rod of iron for
the next ten weeks, were Villa Rick
etts, Mildred Dell, Alice Learned, Nell
lie McManus and De Bart RudisilI; the
members of the board of health were
Alice Cook and Clarence Collins; the
fire commission, Roy White, Jane
Wyatt; and the bailiff, Jay White, while
John Adams was elected to serve as
secretary
No inclination to stuff the ballot
boxes was shown at the first election
of the Good Government league of the
First street school, but when the next
one occurs in ten weeks from now,
when the children have learned a few
lessons in government, some youthful
lobbyist with a bag of peanuts is likely
to make himself dictator and assume
regal power over the yougsters.
The experiment. of a self-goVerning
school will be watched with much inter
est and if it proves to be a success the
system may be adopted in other
schools.

GIBBONS THINKS
PEACE IS NEAR
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
LAKE MOHONK, n. Y, May 81
The address of Cardinal Gibbons on
The Triumphs of Peace" was the lead
ing feature of the third session of the
Lake Mohonk conference on internal
tional arbitration today.
Cardinal Gibbons said that he wanted
to disabuse the faint-hearted that
Christs mission on earth to establish
peace had failed, and to show that,
on the other hand, his mission had
made decisive and reassuring progress.
He said in part:
Let us cherish the hope that the
day is not far off when the reign of the
Prince of Peace will be firmly estab-
l1shed on the earth, and the spirit of
the gospel will so far sway the minds
and hearts of rulers and cabinets that
international disputes will be settled,
not by standing armies but by perma-
nent courts of arbitration-when they
will be settled, not on the battlefield,
but in the halls of conciliation, and
Will be adjusted, not by the sword, buS
by the pen, which is mightier than the
sword"
Work of Supreme Court
Clifton r. Breckenridge, ex-minister
to Russia, said: "The great arbiter of
our disputes is the supreme court of
the united states. For more than one
hundred years this august body has
been the sheet anchor, not only of the
Union, but of all of the states. Cannot
a similar and permanent body of illus
trious men sit and command in some
like manner the reVential obedience of
nations?"
Representatives Granger of Rhode
Island and Bates of Pennsylvania and
Charles Hamlin Of Boston, ex-assistant
secretary of the treasury discussed The
Hague conference. The session tonight
is to be devoted wholly to three-minute
speeches by business men and chamber
of commerce representatives from all
over the country. showing the work that
is being done by the Business Mems
association in practical promotion of
International arbitration
