IN GRIEF
Lawmaker Intended to Make Speech
but Lets His Letter of Resigna-
ton Stand-No Success
sor Elected
Special TO The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
LONG BEACH, March 5.-A most
pathetic scene was enacted in the Long
Beach council chamber this afternoon
when Trustee ]. B. Losee placed his
resignation in the hands of the city
clerk for action at the hands of the
board No comment followed the read
ing OF the document and the motion
that the resignation be accepted was
made by Trustee Campbell at the re-
quest of Mr.. Losee. Trustee Oaldord
seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously, each councilman qualify
ing his vote by stating that 1t was with
regret or at the solicitation of Mr..
Losee that he voted in the affirmative.
Mr.. Losee had intended to make
brief speech but as the final aye was
said which severed his connection with
the local council he broke down COM
pletely and passed from the room
weeping, accompanied by Trustee
Campbell.
Judson b. Losee was elected to the
board in April, 1904, and his friends say
since his election has been an indie
fatigable worker. He is at present
awaiting trial in the superior court on
a charge of accepting bribe from the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific company.
No Successor
Today the councilmen did not elect a
successor to Mr.. Losee. The name of
j. A. Millern, secretary of the chamber
of commerce, has been suggested.
II have for some time intended to
offer you this resignation" said Mr.
Losee in his letter, las it has been my
desire to be relieved from the respon-
sibilities, worries and cares of public
office, and I have only been deferred in
so doing that conditions have arisen
which it would at first seem to be my
duty to meet while yet a member of
your board.
Il feel confident, however, that time
will furnish a full VindiCation for all
my acts and the honesty of my pur-
poses, and prove that my services have
not been without value to the city.
I'm view of the fact that our city
has advanced to position as pleas
ure resort and commercial center, espe-
cially within the past two years, sur
passing in progress and enterprise the
fondest hopes and anticipations OF all
of us, and from assurances at hand its
destiny is to be one of the most i'm
portant municipalities in California
and of the United States, and by rea-
son thereof requires an immediate
change in its form of government and
the setting aside of the theories and
pledges of the past so that new mem
bers about to be elected shall be free
to do as their judgment dictates, l feel
that it is more proper that an oppor-
tunity should he afforded to the people
at this time to Telect some one in my
stead at the coming election than to
leave the appointment to the board of
! trustees at a later date"

nounced by the Independent party in

TIDAL WAVE SUFFERERS
FUND BEING RAISED WILL BE
FORWARDED SUNDAY
Reports From the Islands Said to Be
Greatly Exaegerated-NatiVes Live
on Breadfruit and Cocoanuts and
Will Not Die of Starvation
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-A re-
lief fund for the sufferers of the recent
tiday wave and cyclone which swept
over Tahiti and the neighboring ISL
ands will be started here Immediately
under the management of French Con-
sui Lanell, who expects to send some
more aid by the steamship Mariposa'
which sails Sunday morning.
He does not believe that the inhabi-
tants of Tahiti will suffer greatly for
want of food. OF the 10000 people on
that island, 300 are whites who get
their supplies from this city. The ma
tives live almost entirely on bread
fruits and cocoanuts.
Groves Not Swept Away
The report that the natives have
had their groves swept away and are
facing starvation is denied by F. ).
Samuels, secretary to John D. Spreck-
els. president of the Oceanic Steam
ship company.
MIR. Samuels says that the cocoanut
groves are located in the higher por-
tions of the island, and were not
reached by the tidal wave which de-
stroyed the custom house and post
office.
"There has been no serious damage
SAYS Samuels. "At least there has
been none in Tahiti. and the report
that the inhabitants must face starva-
ton is absurd. Some of the smaller
| islands possibly We're swept over, but
there are few human beings on any ol
them, and most of them are unln'
habited. of course, we can't say Il
people who did live on these islands
were lost, as our information comes
only from Tahiti"

On the train from Hazen to Wa.
buska last week the writer had a
short talk with Congressman Van
Duzer, who was on his way to To-
nopah and Goldfeld. Mr.. Van Du-
yer stated that many inquiries were
being made in the East about the
beet sugar industry in Nevada ;
whether there were any such estab-
lishments in this State, what the
possibilities were, etc. He said he
had travelled many thousands OF
miles to investigate this industry in
Michigan and other States, and had
interested people with money who
would put up plant in Nevada if it
could be shown that the land could
be obtained and the beets produced
iu sufficient quantity to supply a
factory. When informed of what
could be done in Mason Valley in the
way of raising beets Mr.. Van Duzer
was some what astonished, and
promised to take run into this Sec
ton on his next visit to Nevada and
look into the proposition. He will
bring with him parties who may
conclude to invest here if they can
secure the land. Their idea would
be to obtain 5000 to 5000 acres of land,
cut it up into small farms, put sugar
beet raisers on it and establish fac
tory at convenient point tor deliv-
cry of beets.

Otto and August Taubet were ar
rivals from their home in St. Paul
Wednesday,, and after short visit
to their copper prospect, near the
head of Churchill Canyon, left for
Goldfield yesterday. They made
three more locations adjoining their
original claim, which gives them a
group of four claims in some very
promising copper ground. They ex-
pect to return to this place about the
first of March and begin active de-
velopment work on their property.
There is some shipping ore in sight
in the original claim, and it will
probably be extracted and shipped
to Salt Lake. The Minnesota group
will no doubt give good account of
itself this coming Summer.

L. r. Stockwell, who returned
from California the first of the week,
reports that cattle are dying in many
sections of that State for want of
feed. The season has been very dry
and stock is suffering very much.
Trees are being cut down for cattle
to browse upon. AS the price of
beef is going up it might be good
plan for those with money in this
section to pick up bunch or two of
these cattle and bring them into this
valley to eat up the surplus hay they
expect to have.

+. L. Littell, the Yerington lumber
dealer and contractor, sent out or
ders for four different lots of lumber
last week, which will be used in the
construction of four different build
ings in Yerington just as soon as it
arrives. One order for lumber is for
the Logan cottage, to be erected on
the Craig Addition, another is for
Mrs. May Johnston, who will build
an addition to her home in the same
addition, another is for a residence
to be erected by Prot. Wood on the
Iittell Addition, and the fourth is
for Ira Wagner, who will erect a
four-room cottage on Pearl street,
east of the school house. There is a
possibility that one, and maybe
three, stone or concrete buildings
will also be erected on Main street
this Summer, but of these we will
have more to say in the future.

with signs of prosperity and i'm

looking into the affairs of the old
Boston-Nevada Copper Co. tor parties
who some months ago secured an
option on the old company's mines
and smelter with view, as they
stated, OF starting up custom smell
ter in this vicinity. The matter has
been hanging fire tor some time, and
it is not yet definitely known what
will be done by those who have an
option on the property from those
who hold it by Sheriff deed. There
appears to be some doubt about the
title to the property on account of a
Boston Trust Go. having held a
mortgage on it at the time it was
sold by the Sheriff to satisfy me-
chanic's lien.

AS yet there is not great deal of
snow at the headwaters of the
Walker Rivers, and farmers in this
neighborhood are getting anxious
about the water supply for next
Summer. There is yet some time for
snow to fall in the mountains, but
the sure way to obtain water for
next seasons crops would be to
dig well, or stump, and put in a
gasolene engine and pump. There
would then be no guess work about
securing crop after the seed was
planted.

Last month J. J. Blaine and others
jumped, or located, some mining
claims which the Douglas people
will contend belong to them. 1t is
claimed by Mr.. Blaine that the
Douglas people had not done the as
sessment work on the FIVE claims
which were taken up by him, while
Mr.. Miller, of the Douglas, claims
that all these claims were grouped
and the holding work done and re.
corded, besides which there has been
a patent applied for on some, it not
all of the five claims relocated. The
ground lies on the west side of the
range of hills which skirt the west.
ern border of this valley, and is in
proven copper ground, lying close to
the Douglas and Ludwig mines. 1t
is considered valuable or it would
not have been jumped. just who is
right in the premises is hard to tell
from the explanation given by both
claimants, and it is possible that a
suit will be necessary to settle the
matter. In all probability, however
if patent has been applied for on
these claims the matter will be set
tied by the government in favor OF
