SAN JOAQUIN RANCHO. The Great Anatomy Adjudged to be No Sale. Los Angeles Express. On the calling to order of Judge Hutton's Department of the Superior Court Friday morning that magistrate announced himself ready to deliver his opinion in the famous San Joaquin rancho auction case. Readers of the Express will remember that the trustees of this great landed estate advertised it for sale at public auction. In due time the day set for the sale arrived, and the place designated in the notices, the law office of Bicknell & White, the sale was conducted. At this sale but three of the trustees managing and controlling the ranche were present. Despite the fact that this was the case, it was decided to proceed with the sale. At the outset it was agreed that the time for budding should be limited to thirty minutes, and when the sale was formally opened, Judge Bucklin extended time with his watch in hand. There were present half a dozen prospective builders but only A. K. Davis, acting in the interest of a wealthy corporation, and Isaac Smith, representing an eastern syndicate of capitalists, actually bid on the property. Half the allotted time elapsed before a bid was made. Mr. Smith started the ball rolling; Mr. Davis followed. Just as the thirty minutes were about elapsed Mr. Smith bid $1,380,000 for the property. Mr. Davis echoed his antagonist's bid by going him $500 better, but just as he made it Judge Bicknell called time. It was decided that Mr. Smith had bought the ranch for $1,380,000 and Mr. Davis contested the decision. As he promised to go to law over the matter the ranch was not decided to Smith. Mr. Davis did bring his contest into court it being the general desire to acquaint Tropice.

Once upon a time a poor Ant, who had long waited its time in useless toll on the hard asphalt pavements of the city, and still was unable to scratch out any bole in which to rest its head, applied for shelter to a Mouse who dwelt upon one of the fashionable avenues. The Mouse, whose cunning and experience had enabled him to pick up a goodly store from the unprotected larders of the vicinity, eyed his humble visitor with a lofty air, and finally said: "I can furnish you with accommodations, but I want it understood that your rent must be paid strictly in advance." To this the Ant consented, as he feared he would be crushed by the foot of a policeman if he remained in the street any longer, and brought from his scarcity attack the NEAT THURSDAY New York Trader "Huntington hinaus, law paragraphs made pointed utterance for the Commission.

Mr. Smith started the ball rolling; Mr. Davis followed. Just as the thirty minutes were about elapsed Mr. Smith bid $1,380,000 for the property. Mr. Davis schooled his antagonist's bid by going him $5000 better, but just as he made it Judge Bicknell called time. It was decided that Mr. Smith had bought the ranch for $1,380,000 and Mr. Davis contested the decision. As he promised to go to law over the matter the ranch was not decided to Smith. Mr. Davis did bring his contest into court it being the general desire to ascertain which, Smith or Davis, was entitled to the property. The case came up before Judge Hutton several days ago, arguments were heard, testimony taken and the action submitted to that magistrate for judicial termination. When Judge Hutton this morning, as stated, announced that he was ready to announce his decision, several parties interested were in court. The Judge at once proceeded to read the decision, a very voluminous one, covering over forty pages of legal cap paper, closely written. The decision rendered was to the effect that the sale of the San Joaquin rancho was no sale at all, and that it was illegally conducted, for several reasons. Judge Hutton held that neither Smith nor Davis rightfully owned the property, and that ownership was vested in the trustees. He held that the full board of trustees should have been present at the sale. Another point taken by the Judge was that as there was not in existence any written contract between bidders or trustees regarding the way the sale should be conducted, the timing business was not valid. Judge Hutton's decision has the effect of nullifying the sale and of knocking out both Meara, Smith and Davis, and giving full possession to the San Joaquin rancho trustees. In conversation with Hon. S. M. White, of counsel for the trustees, that gentleman told an Express reporter at noon that Judge Hutton's decision meant the reselling of the rancho, and that it was left to the trustees to decide how the rancho should be old. Mr. White did not think it would be disposed of in the same way a second time. In response to a question he stated that Davis might appeal the case, but he did not think that very probable. The Allen Land Law Washington, Oct. 10 — The first attack upon the operations of the law passed by the last Congress for bidding aliens to hold landed property in this country comes from Edward A. Stevenson, Governor of Idaho. In his annual report received by the Secretary of the Interior to-day, Governor Stevenson says that the business of mining is one of the great industries of Idaho, and requires for its successful operation large capital. The great risk and expense attendant upon the operations of mines have inclined the capitalists of this country to look for safer investments for their money. The prize call and the champion pumpkin will have to take a rear position at county fairs hereafter, to make room for the couple who get married in the main hall and receive presents from enterprising merchants. "And do you really love me, George?" Washington, Oct. 10. — The first attack upon the operations of the law passed by the last Congress for bidding aliens to hold landed property in this country comes from Edward A. Stevenson, Governor of Idaho. In his annual report received by the Secretary of the Interior to-day, Governor Stevenson says that the business of mining is one of the great industries of Idaho, and requires for its successful operation large capital. The great risk and expense attendant upon the operations of mines have inclined the capitalists of this country to look for safer investments for their money. The mines of Idaho, he says, are in the hands of good men who are unable to develop them. These men are forced to look for money where it is plentiful and seeking investment at good interest. A large number of transactions abroad were about being closed, which would have developed the resources of Idaho, when the alien land law was garnished and shut down all negotiations. But for the passage of the law a large amount of foreign capital would have been invested in Idaho mines at this time. Governor Stevenson approves the law so far as it relates to agricultural, grazing, coal and timber lands, but mining lands are no limiged in any way; he says, that no harm can come to American citizens by their acquirement by foreigners, because when a mine is worked out the foreigner has nothing left but a hole in the ground. The Governor recommends that Congress amend the law at once so that Idaho may have a chance to secure foreign capital to open her mines. Only Eighty-two!

"And do you really love me, George?" she asked. "Love you!" repeated George, fervently; "why, while I was bidding you good-bye on the porch last night, dear, the dog bit a chunk out of my leg, and I never noticed it until I got home. Love you!" The mosquito of 1887 is now laid up with a sore throat, and fears are entertained that his vocal chords are permanently injured for this season.

California was thirty-sixteen years old last Friday. She has sowed more wild oats and had a bigger time generally than any State of her age, and is still young. — Chicago Tribune, Sept. 16.

Two-thirds Argument to Compromise in the Legislature. [New York Tribune, September 28, J.J.] The Newspaper under the heading "Huntingtoniana," published yesterday a few paragraphs made up from the piling and pointed utterances of Mr. Huntington before the Commission. There are no follower Politicians are thin-skinned. It would be very strange if you wouldn't find one bad among four hundred Congregers. Eighteen hundred years ago the best man that ever lived selected twelve men and 163 per cent of them were found short weight. I have had certain rules governing my life. I have never put anything in a letter I would not like to have published. I never wrote a letter I wouldn't just as have put on the bulletin board, always harring the grammar and spelling. A lobbyist is a man who hangs around in the corridors of the Capital and picks up what he can get. A man who goes there to attend some special business and for a legitimate purpose is not a lobbyist. He is an agent of the company in the sense that he looks after their affairs. On the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where coal costs $4 a ton and is not very good at that, we get less for carrying the mail than the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad does in a section where coal costs only ninety cents a ton and is twice as good. This is simply because some log-rolling politician wants to get a vote. They are afraid to do what is right, and that is partially why this investigation is being done. It is this kind of thing that is opening the way for Socialists and Anarchists to attack property.

PIERCE & LITTLEFIELD, GENERAL LAND AGENTS AND On the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where coal costs $6 a ton and is not very good at that, we get less for carrying the mail than the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad does in a section where coal costs only ninety cents a ton and is twice as good. This is simply because some log-rolling politician wants to get a vote. They are afraid to do what is right, and that is partially why this investigation is being done. It is this kind of thing that is opening the way for Socialists and Anarchists to attack property. Before we built the (Central Pacific) road you could trace the route by the skeletons of emigrants who died on the way, and the bleaching bones of stock. You could not get out of sight of the carcasses. We built a road capable of carrying an army across the country in six days. But some light-waisted politician went on the house-top and cried out against us and blackballed us. I spent twenty-five of the best years of my life building the road across the sage-brush desert, and I am overhauled by every light-waisted politician in Congress and out. I hurt my commercial credit, and my friends said I was in a hazardous undertaking. I said all right, and went ahead. Now I am overhauled and taken from my business day after day to explain things. If there is anybody who has done more for this country than my associates and myself I would like a chromo of them, I would. I want to say here that there seems to be a disposition to injure some public men, and I wish to say that I never gave Senator Jones any money for purposes of legislation. He does not need any one to protect him, but I wish this denial to be entered on the record. There were always a lot of the "third House," not organized under the Constitution, who wanted to make enough to pay their board bills. There were a number of Senators who were apt to want to borrow money, but it would not be safe to have any to loan at the time. Any one can construe almost anything as wrong if he wants to. One man has proved by the Bible that it was right to kill a brother. He made a bet on it and won. He turned to the account of Cain killing Abel, and further pointed to the passage: "Go thou and do likewise." We had a bill proposing a voluntary settlement with the Government, and the Thurman bill was a political measure to make capital in forcing us to do what we were trying to do of our own accord. I have always avoided dealing with such men, and only presented our matters in a proper light to the honorable members. To the pure all things are pure. There were too many Anarchists, Socialists and Communists in public position—men like Most, striking at property and great projects. Of course there were good men in Congress; others were not. I was disgnated with the pulling and hauling, especially the efforts to show that our purposes were not right and proper. I may say, too, that I have been greatly annoyed at this commission's efforts to find something nasty in these stolen letters. I will Spend Money in Trying to Sell it. SHELDON LITTLEFIELD.

There were too many Anarebiata, Socialists and Communists in public position—men like Most, striking at property and great projects. Of course there were good men in Congress; others were not. I was disgusted with the pulling and hauling, especially the efforts to show that our purposes were not right and proper. I may say, too, that I have been greatly annoyed at this commission's efforts to find something nasty in these stolen letters. I may have lost my temper, but I trust the honorable members of the commission will par don me. If you should buy up two or three to work for you, it would drive away any ten honest men you could get to work for you. The third House need to magnify its influence and pretend it could tear things to pieces generally if it was not taken care of. The Government don't even at that pay us what it owes us, and it won't allow us interest on what it owes and does not pay. I believe that great interests are at work against us. I believe that there are large blocks of this stock in which certain men are short, and they are trying in this city, to work it down. I don't think that these gentlemen [the commissioners] know it, but I believe it. I know they have been at work in Washington to the detriment of the property of those who are working it in an honest and legitimate way. One day I saw some men hauling ties up the Wannaham summits. They had seven ties on the load. I asked them what they got, and they said $1.75 each day and $80 a day for the team. It took them three days to haul the load up the summit and get back again. When I returned I saw a light burning on the Wannaham summits. I found it was a fire made of about twenty times. The man said it was an fiercely said that they had no harm to keep yours.
