COAST NEWS BOILED DOWN Governor Markham has decided to declare Labor Day, the first Monday in September, a legal holiday. Pomona is a progressive town. The Chairman of the City Trustees became disliked the other day, and they hung him in effigy. Herbert Drumm, a young Pomona boy, swallowed a quantity of concentrated lye about three years ago and has since lived on nothing but milk. J. W. Collins, president of the suspended California National Bank of San Diego, has been arrested charged with embezzling $200. Itiresly too comprehensive. It proposes only a change in the manner of electing Stators, but in the number of Senators each Stator shall be sultled to. The title of the means indicates that its sole purpose was to throw the choice of Senators into the hands of voters, leaving the principle of State representation untouched. But it appears that the amendment proposes to give each Stator one Senator and one additional Senator to each million of inhabitants. One object to such an amendment would be that it strots the equality of States in the upstairs branch of Congress. No provision in its constitution was more stronously contented for than that which secured the smallest States equal representation in the Senate with the larger ones. It is not too much say that the smaller States would not have ratified the constitution had not some proposition to this effect been submitted. A second objection is that such change is undesirable. The large States now have political power out of proportion to population and wealth. New York's thirty-six electoral votes have year after year been the determining factor in the Presidential election. A little more than a thousand votes in New York elected Cleveland over Blaine in 1884. The amendment proposes to take from States with less than 1,000,000 inhabitants one Senator at to give States of more than 1,000,000 a Senator for each 1,000,000 in excess of the number. It is not by any means certain that the people would gain anything by increasing the number of Senators from a State whose local Legislature is controlled by corporations. At the present time the Senate who represent the people rather than corporate wealth are the new States. Under the proposed amendment sixteen States would be deprived of one Senator; New York would gain four Senators, Pennsylvania three, and Ohio and Illinois two each. A State with 1,000,000 people would have two Senators—one as a State and one for each 1,000,000 of population. A State with 2,000,000 would have three Senators and a State with 3,000,000 would have four Several of the old States would not in a long time, if ever, have the population required for the second Senator. There is not Governor Markham has decided to declare Labor Day, the first Monday in September, a legal holiday. Pomona is a progressive town. The Chairman of the City Trustees became disliked the other day, and they hung him in effigy. Herbert Drumm, a young Pomona boy, swallowed a quantity of concentrated lye about three years ago and has since lived on nothing but milk. J. W. Collins, president of the suspended California National Bank of San Diego, has been arrested charged with embezzling $200,000 of the funds of that institution. The report of the Irrigation Bureau of the Department of Agriculture shows California far ahead of other States, with 4,500,000 acres under ditch, of which 3,550,000 are under cultivation; the next being Colorado, with 3,007,050 and 1,800,000 acres respectively under ditch and cultivation, and all others far behind. These figures show that California is making great progress in irrigation under the Wright law, and by individual and neighborhood effort. There is something for the Government to do to further this work, but it does not include cession to the States, even in trust. That would unnecessarily complicate matters. A plan is under way to establish an irrigation district in Cahuenga valley, the celebrated frostless winter vegetable belt between Los Angeles and the ocean. San Francisco gats winter vegetables after the frost from this section, and shipments are also made by express to Chicago, New York and Boston. Ranchers who have a small water supply are clearing from $300 to $500 an acre on winter peas and beans. With an irrigation system several thousand acres would be susceptible of cultivation in these crops, and the business would rival in importance the citrus industry. The work of relocating and rebuilding the Southern Pacific track west of Yuma on the section that suffered so severely from last year's floods is practically completed. The first section of seventeen miles was opened six weeks ago, and the second section of nine miles was opened last week. This portion of the road has been subject to annual washouts, causing much expense and delay. The bad has been raised some twenty feet and many trestles constructed to allow free passage of flood water. It was recently decided to build eight more miles of new track to the west of that already completed, and work on this will be commenced at once. The work has taken six months and cost $2,000,000. It is thought that there will be no more trouble from floods at that point of the road. The statement that the new survey between the United States and Mexico will run the boundary some sixty miles north of the present line and put Tucson, Yuma, Gila Bend, San Diego and other towns in Mexico does credit to the imagination of the correspondent who originated it. The boundary article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo sets forth that the California boundary shall "consist of a straight line drawn from the middle of the Rio Gila, where it unites with the Colorado, to a point on the coast of the Pacific ocean, distant one marine league due south of the southernmost point of the port of San Diego." The Arizona and New Mexican boundary set by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was afterwards superseded by the treaty that consummated the Gadgeton purchase. It is by no means impossible that the original surveys contained errors, but they were probably trifling in extent. The differing number of Senators from a State whose local Legislature is controlled by corporations. At the present time the Senate would be deprived of one Senator; New York would gain four Senators, Pennsylvania three, and Ohio and Illinois two each. A State with 1,000,000 people would have two Senators—one as a State and one for each 1,000,000 population. A State with 2,000,000 would have three Senators and a State with 3,000,000 would have four. Several of the old States would not in a long time if ever have the population requisition for the second Senator. There is not yet slightest danger that such an amendment will be ratified. There are enough States that would lose a Senator under it to prevent favorable action by the Legislatures three-fourths of all the States. Always Liberal. Porter—Dis am only a quartz, sah! Mr. Wyekoff—That's all right; when I am a man I never do it by "halves." A Big Rabbit Drive. A graphic description of the recent big rabbit drive in Fresno county says that seven thousand people engaged in it, and it is estimated that fully 20,000 rabbits were at one time within the limits encompassed by the lines, but at the time of closing in upon them at the entrance to the corral they made great rush and thousands broke through the ranks, escaped clubs and made their escape. As the lines were closed in near the winnow of the corral, the spectacle was grand-surging mass of jackets moving around the circle, causing great clouds of dust to rise—they would advance to break through the lines or be driven back by the clubs of footmen. When the circle of excited human beings narrowed down to the mouth of the corral, the terrified little creatures made a grand break for liberty, and the slaughter commenced. In vain did marshals attempt to control the crowd, but their enthusiasm was around to such an extent that an army could not have held them back when they rushed to the slaughter. The cries of the rabbits almost sounded loud when they realized that it was impossible to escape, but the exterminators were lentless, and there was no let up until last rabbit was stretched dead on the field.

It is by no means impossible that the original surveys contained errors, but they were probably trivial in extent. The difference is more likely to be found expressed in feet than in miles. PEACH, YELLOWS. A Warning to Fruit Growers—Danger of Introduction to California—Warning to Intending Purchasers. By B. M. Lolong, Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture. Whereas, We are informed that some nurserymen, through the scarcity of peach stocks for budding prunes, have contracted for large lots of Eastern peach stock for budding purposes for next season's delivery; and whereas, there is great danger of introducing into this State the Yellows, a deadly disease to the peach, on said roots, and on peach trees imported from the Eastern States; and while they may not have the disease in the localities where they get this stock, but we having no guarantee that the Eastern growers may not get trees grown in infested sections to supply California demands; therefore, be it Resolved, That we warn intending purchasers of the danger of getting trees infected with the Yellows and other tree diseases and pests not known in this State; and be it further. Resolved, That we call the attention of all the Boards of County Horticultural Commissioners and Quarantine Guardians throughout the State to this danger, and urge the rigid enforcement of the law in all such cases. Adopted at a meeting of the State Board of Horticulture, July 9, 1891. Buy home grown trees at the Anaheim Everygreen Nursery... Trees clean and free from scale. Tim Carroll, proprietor.

The town of Shoals, Indiana, is undering an epidemic of strange marriages. We liam Fitch, who was confined in the county jail waiting to be taken to prison to serve sentence of two years for burglary in Ohio and Mississippi Railway depot, was married to his sweetheart, Susie Keras, in county jail last week. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Byrne, the coracting parties standing in the door way of the jail, the iron-barred door being thrown open. Fitch was then taken on the Penitentiary. A day or two after John Clark and Mr. Lucy Gaither, from the northern part of its county, drove up in front of Moser's black smith shop and called for Squire Moser, same from the forge and they requested he to marry them. Having produced a marriage license issued in proper form, the couple still seated, in the buggy, joined hands and the squirrel with his face, hands a neck grimy with honest tail, performed a ceremony. They newly wadded couple in mediately left for their home. Educational Note.

Once upon a time a gifted Baltimore colonel strode complacently from a noted restaurant in that rare old town. He had the rose of canvas-back duck upon his cheeks and the fire of extra-dry in his eye. "Oh, my friend," remarked the satisfied colonel to a friend he met at the threshold, "we have dined sumptuously to-day. Duck that would have cheered the effete stomach of Love; celery that would have braced the languid Juno; sauterne, sir, whose mild fumes would have cooled the wrath of Mars himself, and champagne that puts to blush the storied nectar of the gods." "Many with you at dinner, colonel?" queried his paralyzed friend. "No, air; only two—mo and the duck." To Break Up Large Land-Holdings. C. P. Huntington has sent a letter to W. H. Mills, land agent of the Central Pacific, instructing him to make some large land purchases in this State. "We must break up these large land-holdings in California," says Mr. Huntington, "if we over expect to make any great success with our railroads." The letter sent to Mills was brought out by a long report by that gentleman to Mr. Huntington on the success of the company in breaking up several large land-holdings in Yolo county, chiefly in the Capay Valley. The company bought 9,000 acres and has sold most of the land in small farms, averaging twenty-four acres each, 165 such farms having been sold up to date, four being purchased last week by men from England. Mr. Mills showed in his report that the benefit to the railroad company from the Yolo county venture, which was undertaken as an experiment, was very great and would doubtless be greater in the future. All the land had been used for wheat-growing previous to its purchase by the railroad company, and had not given the company more than one-sixth of a ton of freight to the acre. Since its subdivision 1,670 acres of fruit trees have been planted and these are giving, or will give, the company a carload of freight an acre. The wheat was shipped to Port Costa, which afforded a very short haul, while the fruit is shipped to Chicago and the freight charges are $300 a carload. The Southern Pacific's proportion of that is about $100, so that each acre of fruit land bought and subdivided by it will pay $100 an acre a year to the company. So pleased is Mr. Huntington with this showing that he is determined to go into the subdividing business on a very large scale. Several large holdings will at once be bought and divided into farms by the company under his direction, the first to be bought being 10,060 acres in Northern California, which Mr. Mills regards as a good bargain. Mr. Huntington's instructions to Mr. Mills are not to jeopardize the success of the project by giving the people to understand that the company is going into the land-dividing business for profit on sales, but that the land shall be sold at the current rates. Jeffrey Gets In His Dendry Work. Azusa Pomotropic. If Southern California mountains were always as deeply snow clad as they were Monday morning she would have no rival in the world for scenic beauty. Filing back from the green valley in successive tiers, bank upon bank like a coelestial terrace, the grand snowy chain seemed too vast for this earth, lifted up by some far-away continent of another world. Near ranges were fringed And Ho Went Along. Can I get something to eat here? he inquired humbly of the cook at the kitchen door. "Oh, yes, plenty," she said with smiling generosity. "You can get a chop at the woodpile, or a leaf out on the bench in the back yard, or a bite of meat from the dog, or a reheat from the lady of the house if she sees you, or some club sauce from the hired man, or——" "Aw, come off," he interrupted. "What's the matter with me gittin' an entree at the jail" and he went along. Hiram Would Go Guaming, Perhaps. Senator Squire of Washington played a scurvy trick on his colleague, Senator John B. Allen, the other day. They were traveling East from Washington. When they went to secure sleeping berths there were only two to be had—one upper and one lower. The two Senators "tossed up" for choice and Senator Allen won, taking the lower berth, of course. During the night the train stopped at a station in Missouri, where a large, heavy woman entered the sleeper looking for a berth. Squire poked his head out between the curtains and seeing the ponderous lady said: "Madam, the berths are all taken, but if you wish you can occupy the one just below me where your little boy is sleeping." This was satisfactory to the Missouri Amazon, who removed her shoes and then swung around in the bunk. Just about this time the disturbed occupant attempted to rise to see what the intrusion meant. With one fell swoop of her palm she chipped it squarely over the gentleman's mouth, saying: "There little boy, don't speak. Your father said I could sleep here." Again the "little boy" attempted to rise, and this time he managed to say: "Madam. I want to tell you that I'm no boy." "Who are you, then?" "Who! I'm Senator Allen, from the State of Washington," he exclaimed. "My conscience!" she yelled, and sprang up and dashed out of the car exclaiming, to the consternation of every one but Squire. "Oh what would Hiram say if he knew!" Leslie and Her Little Willie. The stories which have gained circulation regarding the differences in the daily life of Mrs. Frank Leslie and her husband, Willie Wilde, having brought out stories to the effect that she considered herself his mental and financial superior, Mrs. Leslie fosla herself impelled to say: "As for my claiming any mental superiority to Mr. Wilde, it is absurd. He is my equal, nay, my superior. He easily made $5,000 a year in London, and could make more than that sum here if he wanted to. Why he doesn't really can't say. Before I married him no unkind word was ever said of me. I suppose the charge is due to the fact that I married a foreigner. People seem to object to his club life." For myself, I really cannot see why he refuses to take advantage of his opportunities and does not go to work. I make every effort to do what is right. I hurry through my work drive, go to receptions, and am really pushed to such an extent that I have not even time to dress like other women." Wilde himself entered the room leisurely at this point. He appeared deeply grieved to hear that additional stories of his marital intellicity had reached the public cars. "Say for me," he said, with a langniad air, "that Jeffrey Gets in His Dendly Work, Azusa Pomotropic. If Southern California mountains were always so deeply snow clad as they were Monday morning she would have no rival in the world for scenic beauty. Filing back from the green valley in successive tiers, bank upon bank like a coelestial terrace, the grand snowy oak seemed too vast for this earth, but lifted up by some far-away continent of another world. Near by ranges were fringed with pine trees covered with snow, as if vast fields of pampas plumes had sprung up from a snowy bud; and while one viewed the grand scene his thoughts shivered, although he were bathed in the balmy sunshine and fanned by the warm breath of a perpetual spring. A Very Common Want. "Out of sorts," "distrait," "the blues," these are familiar appellations for uncomfortable, undefinable sensations, accompanied with lazitude, nervousness, indigestion. Poverty of the blood, to remedy which an effective stomach persistently used is the pampas rice, is conclusive evidence that the system is insufficiently nourished because—and for no other cause where organic disease does not exist—the food is not assimilated. Reinforce the flagging energies of the stomach, reform the irregular condition of the bowels, keep up a healthful secretion of the bile with Hostetter's Stomach Litters. For over thirty years this popular medicine has supplied the common want of the nervous malaise, the dysponic and persons deficient in vitality, an efficient tonic To its power of imparting strength is attributable its efficacy as a preventive of malaria and la gripe. Thoroughly effective it is too for rheumatism, kidney complaint and neuralgia. Arid Public Lands. Senator Power of Montana is strongly opposed to the plan of ceding the arid public lands of the United States to the several States and Territories within whose limits they are embraced. He asserts that the agitation for this purpose is a gigantic job, carefully planned, and intended to place great power, influence and wealth in the hands of a few men. He made these charges at the recent irrigation convention in Helena, and says that every word he said then stands good to-day. He declared that the plan to take the arid lands away from the Federal Government is the scheme of a few men acting in conjunction with the railroads, to increase their holdings and place in their hands a supreme power that could not be otherwise than vicious. Moreover, he says, a consummation of this big job would result in the organization of a giant political machine of far-reaching effect and unlimited possibilities. Whether there be any such plan or scheme Why do you don't really can say. Before I married him no unkind word was ever said of me. I suppose the charge is due to the fact that I married a foreigner. People seem to object to his club life. "For myself, I really cannot see why he refuses to take advantage of his opportunities and does not go to work. I make every effort to do what is right.

He appeared deeply grieved to hear that additional stories of his marital intictivity had reached the public cars. "Say for me," he said, with a languid air, "that nothing but happiness reigns in our little home." The Trustees of the Church of the Unity at Los Angeles brought suit to recover $500 from Dr. D. Burbank. In 1887 a subscription was started to erect a church building. Burbank put his name down for $5,000, which he afterward reduced to $2,600, giving four $500 notes, which were paid except the last. Dr. Burbank's defense was that the plans of the church have been changed, and that Dr. Elf Fay has been superseded as pastor by Dr. Thomson, who preaches a different doctrine from his predecessor. This did not effect the Judge and judgment was given for the plaintiffs. To Let. We have a few pieces of land left which we will rent for hay raising. Apply at once.

Just put the pitcher of water in the stove." Not So to Him. "You bot," he said, "I don't think marriage is a failure." "Are you a married man?" asked a sad-eyed woman across the table. "Not much; I'm a divorce lawyer."
