CHANGE is
TAKING PLACE
ROCK CREEK VALLEY is BEING
TRANSFORMED FROM GRAZ
ING To FARMING.
Land That Had Heretofore Supplied
But Poor P~asturage Now Yielding
Forty Bushels of Oats to Acre
Ranchmen Contemplating Raising
Grain and Fattening Own Stock.

Herbert King of the Dutton Creek
Cattle Co., was in the city Saturday
attending to some business matters.
Mr.. King is very enthusiastic over the
outlook from an agricultural stand
point in the Rock creek valley and pre-
diets that before long it will be the
garden spot of this section. He has
already embarked in farming to a con-
siderable extent, this year having 1875
acres of oats that will yield forty bush
els to the acre. This crop was grown
on land that heretofore was not even
considered good grazing land.
Prospects for Nest Year.
Next year Mr.. King will add largely
to his grain acreage, and will probably
put in a considerable quantity of bar
ley. He has completed a reservoir with
a 600 acre capacity and expects to re-
claim a vast amount of heretofore al
most worthless land. The land he pro-
poses to reclaim cost him SLIPS per
acre and to put water on cost about
$3.50 an acre, making the total cost
S3.75 per acre. This land will yield as
good an aisg crop as the 500 an
acre lansusd Ientalra I'd Iowa and
he decls presidanchmen are be-
ginning to reahZs that if the farmers Of
those states can make money raising
stock feed on that priced land they
ought to be able to make a great deal
more on their $3.75 investment and
they propose to get into the feeding
business themselves.

BARBOUR RESTS
At RIO RANCH
AS MEXICO GUEST FINANClER
BIDEs TIME
Awaits Settlement With Creditors
Through Counsel, In the Mean
time Remaining In lnaeees-
sIbIe Quarters

Henry p. Barbour, the Los Angeles
and Long Beach real estate promoter
who left the city owing about 100000
and who was located at Ensenada by
The Herald, is remaining quietly at
the Rio ranch not far from Ensenada
as the guest of Carlos de la Guerra.
He is waiting for settlement with
his creditors, and according to his
manager, Murray Mitchell, there will
be little to offer the creditors in the
way of composition.
Mr.. Barbour is not flush with money.
His acquaintance with Miss Mary Nye,
the pretty milliner, Is said to have cost
the promoter q large sum during the
past two years. This is what his
friends say.
John Hussong, the Ensenada saloon
keeper, scouts the story in a local
newspaper that Barbour left $1,000 with
him when Capt. Barrow" took his
jaunt into the country.
Indeed, 1t is asserted that the man
who used to handle millions had but
$40 with him for pocket money. Bar
bour does not need much capital to
live in comfort in Lower California, and
as o guest of the princely old Mexican
he has no need of money.
Barbour, alias Capt. Barrow, left En-
senada and his seat on the veranda at
the Bay View hotel because he feared
that some of his creditors would come
down to see him, after reading the ex-
elusive story of his whereabouts In
The Herald.
He left Los Angeles to avoid inter-
viewers and troublesome creditors, and
he did not propose that his retreat in
the sleepy Mexican city should be in
vaded by visitors loaded with vexing
questions.
He does not propose to be bullied or
badgered, and with that purpose he
accepted the invitation to become a
guest at Ell Rio rancho.
Nothing new has developed In Los
Angeles concerning Barbour's business.
His counsel, Davis, Kemp & Post, are
trying to strengthen things out, but
Barbour left his business in a tangle
and 1t will take a good deal of diplom-
acy to smooth the way for his peace
full return.
Not once since the story of Barbour
wild speculations became public has
Mrs. Barbour uttered one word Of
complaint. She has counsel who are
trying to save the pretty little Long
Beach home for her, but she is at
present living in straitened circum-
stances at Hotel Portsmouth.
Miss Mary Nye, who formerly oc-
cupied a cozy fiat on West First street
will not return to this city, according
to her former landlord. 1t is alleged
that she lived we'll while under the
protection of Mr.. Barbour, but after
his wealth disappeared and he was dis
credited in the financial circles which
formerly honored him, she left.
1t is said that Barbour had been IN
various schemes that failed before he
came to Los Angeles. 1t is reported
that he turned a shrewd trick in Ari-
iona in promoting townsite. He
also operated in Seattle.

AUTOMOBILE SHED BURNS
Children with Matches or Providers
Are Blamed for

A slight FIRE broke out in an auto
mobile shed located IN the rear Of j.
". Havener's residence at HA East
Twenty-ninth street early last evening
and but for the prompt action of the
fire department might have caused q
large loss.
Mr.. Havener was reading In his IL
brary and was notified of the fire by
a neighbor. The gasoline tank, In
which several gallons Of the fuel is
always kept for use In the automobile,
had caught fire.
Members Of the fire department claim
that children who reside in the vicinity
were playing with matches near the
shed, but this statement Is not given
credit by Mr.. Havener, who Is under
the belief that some person or persons
might have been prowling around and
entered the barn with the intention OF
helping themselves to whatever might
fall to their liking.
The police were at once notified and
officers were detailed to make a thor
ough investigation of the case.

Elaborate plans are being made for

be held Thursday morning at 10: sc
O'Clock at st. PauPs pro-cathedral, at

A testimonial in the shape of an en-
dowed room at the Good Samaritan
hospital will be presented the bishoI

of the bishop OF Los Angeles. Bishop

in the hospital, and 1t is thought thai
this form OF testimonial will be ac-
ceptable.

CONGRESS OUTLINES A BUSY
WEEK
First Suspension Day Will Mark In
PRODUCTION Of Monster Approprla.
ton N easure Which viii DC.
cupy Several Days

The national house of representatives
will dispose of one Of the regular an
nual supply measures-the army APP
propriation bill-this week.
On Monday the first suspension
day of the session will take place. Sus-
nension day is a procedure where a
member NAV, IL he has made arrange
meuts with the speaker in advance, be
recognized and enter a motion to sus-
pend the rules, and pass bill. IL Cd,
lection is raised, two-th1rds vote VIII
obviate the objection and pass the bill
after a debate Of forty minutes, when
Is automatically ordered by the op-
lection. Under this order any Dill on
the calendar Is eligible for considera-
ton.
Chairman Hull of the military affairs
committee expects to call up the army
appropriation bill Tuesday. He esti-
mates that it will be Thursday or even
Friday before the measure is nnailS
disposed of.
To Encourage Workmanship
The general debate on the bill Will
occupy Tuesday and at least part oil
Wednesday. Procedure under the nves
minute rule will not be curtailed and
day or more will be consumed III
scrutinizing the details of the bill under
this order.
The provision of the bill abolishine
the grade of lieutenant general OF the
army will be the text of number oil
speeches. The provision is new legis'
lation," and consequently subject TO
point of order. The making of poin'
of order is within the province OF any
member and the provision may go oul
of the bill in this manner. To en-
courage craftsmanship in the army the
committee has inserted a provision III
the bill creating three grades Of ex'
perts, and providing for increased pay
for each grade. The first grade carries
with 1t added pay of 81 a month, the
second grade 81 and the third SO.
Plan Monster Maneuvers
1t is estimated that the aggregate
increase in expenditure under this pro-
vision will amount to $4,000 a year
The benefit to the army by encourage
ing rifle experts is regarded as more
than compensatory, and while the pro-
vision Is, like that abolishing the grade
of lieutenant general, subject to point
of order, the military committee has a
belief that the provision will remain IN
the bill.
A provision for Joint army and
militia maneuvers is another topic pro-
life of discussion. There is an aggre'
gate of 100000 carried In the measure
for this purpose. The plan Is to have
the maneuvers held in many sections
Of the country. Regular army troops
are to be marched from their regular
posts to the sites selected for the
maneuvers and militia within a con-
venient location will be asked TO par
ticipate. In this way general benefit
is expected to be spread throughout
both organizations. The bill contains

Among the
Railways
Improve Pullman Service

The Pullman company has been max
ing some changes In Its service In
Mexico. A large reduction in the price
of food sold has been made, winch is
about one third less than the old rates,
and is somewhat less than the rates
charged in the United States. The
company has installed grill rooms in
the cars.
Artificial Ice Gest
Different railroad officials are watch
ing with interest the operation Of the
Santa Fe icing plants. Artificial ice
has been found TO be more efficient
for packing refrigerator cars because
of the uniformity in size and quality,
and during the last few years 1t has
been used almost altogether. Many
other railroads will soon contract for
the building of their own icing plants
in the east.
Sold First Tourist Ticket
The first tourist ticket ever sold over
the Burlington route was sold ten
years ago this month by E. A. Abbott,
who has Just been appointed SOUTH
western passenger agent for the Bur-
lington, with headquarters at Kansas
City.
Ten years ago the Burlington had
but a single tourist car, and 1t then
took a week to go from Chicago to
Los Angeles. Now the road has scores
of such cars and about fifty of them
a week run from Chicago to the
Pacific coast.
Orange Crop Breaks Records
The rains of last week hindered the
picking OF fruit TO certain extent and
have allowed the railroads time in which
to get plenty of cars to California to
take care of the fruit that is now being
shipped, although there has not been
during the present season any great
scarcity OF cars In Southern California.
Last year 10000 cars of oranges were
shipped from the orange-growing dis
trict around Los Angeles. Railroad
officials say that the number of cars
this year will reach at least $4,000, on
account of the increase in acreage.
Must Have Been Dreaming
Whether a reporter has just come
to life after a long sleep, or whether
the copy reader made a mistake and
sent some old copy to the composing
room, or just what is the trouble is the
question that Is at present perplexing
the readers of the last nuns Der of the
Mexican Railway Journal published at
the City of Mexico.
In this number they print a some
what lengthy story about the new rail-
road that Senator Clark is building
from Salt Lake City to San Pedro.
Railroad men say that perhaps the
Mexican Journalists can be excused be-
cause the story is only a little over
year old.
The article tells in a very nice way
about the prospects for such a road
and what it will do to open up the
great desert through which 1t passes.

Senate on Pure Food

In the place of mileage in this in
stance the actual expenses of the trip
are to be paid by the government
Retired officers are by this agree
ment allowed to receive mileage under
certain restrictions. The use Of army
transports Is restricted by the bill to
transporting troops and army supplies.
The house probably will content it
self with working but five days this
week, taking adjournment from Friday
until Monday.
The senate's program so far as 1t
has been arranged provides only for
the final consideration of the pure food
bill and the continuance of the discus
sion of the statehood bill, which was
begun last Thursday by Senator Dick.
The vote on the pure food bill will be
taken on Wednesday and it will be dis
cussed to a considerable extent during
Monday and Tuesday.
Senator Dick will continue his speech
Monday in support of the statehood
bill. but there Is no decision as to who
will follow him.
Watching Statehood Bill
All interest centers in Senator For
aker's provision giving both territories
an opportunity to vote separately on
the question Of joint statehood for
New Mexico and Arizona, and 1t is not
at all improbable that that point may
be quite suddenly reached.
The acceptance of the amendment
would not have the effect Of bringing
the discussion of the measure to a
close, because there are other questions
on which the senate is divided, but it
would materially curtail it and in the
end insure the passage of the bill.
Senator Beveridge expresses conf
dence that the bill will not be amended
in any respect by the senate. The
opponents of the bill concede the close
ness of the division and feel that their
chances are all in the Foraker amend
ment,

The Ball given by the Odd
Fellows last night was the best
in attendance, sociability and
grandeur that we have had here
for many years. The Hall was
tastefully decorated with the
regalia and ensigna of the order,
and at nine o'clock the members
in their full regalia marched
from their Hall to Thompson's
Hall, the Grand March commenc-
ing a few minutes after nine
o'clock. The Hall was crowded,
and most pleasantly; everyone
there seemed to be in good
humor and if any one failed to
enjoy themselves, it certainly
was not the fault Of any of the
members of the order, for they
were ever alert to see that every
one there received all the dane

good and a fine supper was serv-
