The mountain labored and brought forth a mouse! Mr. Hazard of the Peat, who has labored with the War Department industriously for a year relative to the navigability of the Bolsa Chica inlet, as well as the necessity for the removal of the dock thrown across the channel by the land company of that name, had his inning at court on Tuesday of last week, and, truth to tell, the arguments submitted in support of his contention were lame and impotent, and cut rather a sorry figure. Mr. Byram, who has been associated with Mr. Hazard in his senseless warfare against the Bolsa Chica Land company, said, when called upon by Capt. J. J. Meyler, who was present as the representative of the War Department, to point out to what extent he had been damaged by the existence of the dock, that he had sustained damages by reason of being barred from coming upon the beach and gathering shells for his chickens, which liberty he had enjoyed, he said, for twenty-four years past. In justice to Mr. Byram it must be said his looks betrayed the sorry spectacle he must inwardly have felt he was making of himself. His case (if he had any case at all) would have been greatly improved had he kept his lips closed. Josiah McCoy supported Mr. Byram, asserting he had sustained damage by the fencing in of the land company's property. He had also been in the habit of coming to the beach, and for twenty-seven years had gathered shells for his chickens, and he incidentally enjoyed the waters of the inlet for bathing dur... sorry spectacle he must inwardly have felt he was making of himself. His case (if he had any case at all) would have been greatly improved had he kept his lips closed. Josiah McCoy supported Mr. Byram, asserting he had sustained damage by the fencing in of the land company's property. He had also been in the habit of coming to the beach, and for twenty-seven years had gathered shells for his chickens, and he incidentally enjoyed the waters of the inlet for bathing during such times. Mr. McDonald asserted the dock had caused him a loss of $200 by the ruination of his corn crop, and, since the erection of the structure, so disastrously had the noxious effluva of the back waters affected his stomach, it had rejected his breakfast three times during the summer! Mr. Hazard said he was damaged by the interference with the navigability of the stream. He used to own a boat, which he plied upon the waters, but Mr. Cole pointed out that neither his boat nor any other could ever get over the breakers into the open ocean. Mr. Hazard said that he had carried his boat to the creek overland in the first place. Here was the sum and substance of the complaints against the company, which has been subjected to insidious attack by these parties for upward of a year. Mr. Cole, on the other hand, who is the farmer residing nearest the dock, asserts he has been benefited to the extent of $2000 by its construction. A year ago, Mr. Cole, believing the dock would tend to cause the back waters to overflow his property, fought the company with great pertinacity. Six months ago he saw that, so far from raising the water inside the dock, the plane of saturation was actually lowered by the existence of the dam; so much so, indeed, that from four to five acres of his bottom land, which was formerly overflowed by the tidal currents, is now so far reclaimed as to be susceptible of tillage, and he will this season put in a crop where formerly it was impossible for him to walk across. Mr. Cole's word counts for much with us. We believe him to be earnest and honest in his convictions, and his experience and opportunities for observation are such that we think his words are entitled to great weight in the controversy. From Capt. Meyler's statement the inference is irresistible that the government would discountance any attempt to erect a harbor at Bolsa Chica. A million dollars is company is on record publicly as stating that if any damage can be shown to result from the existence of the dock, it will be summarily removed. We believe they mean what they say. They are anxious to get along amicably with their neighbors. The company has in view the continuation of its scheme of development which has transformed a series of sand dunes into a beautiful watering place. An extensive clubhouse has been erected; barns, boathouses, kennels and duck ponds have been built, and an extensive artificial sweet-water lake is being maintained, where birds are fed and have during the past summer nested for the first time in the history of the beach. The company has expended $50,000 in improvements, hires a number of employees and has a monthly payroll of $500 for help and stores. It has in contemplation the erection next spring of a number of cottages upon an avenue lined with trees already set out. Later a pier stretching out into the ocean will be erected, and steam yachts will touch to debark members of the company as well as other visitors to the grounds. These are improvements which should not be frowned down upon simply because one or two gentlemen have not the privilege of gathering shells on the beach for their poultry. The company has purchased the property and acquired title to it. The dock is fitted with automatic gates shutting out the tides. Water stands daily several feet higher on the outer surface of the dam than the inner, proving Mr. Cole's contention to be correct, that the plane of saturation is lower inside the dam than before its construction. The company is doing a good work in transforming a sandy waste into a beauty spot, and until more tangible evidence is forthcoming than that furnished by Mr. Hazard, Mr. Byram and Mr. McCoy, the presumption is strong that ulterior motives are actuating them in their outery. What is the committee recently appointed to confer with the projectors of the Salt Lake railway doing in the premises? We venture to remind them that a dozen towns on the line of the proposed route have active committees in the field looking out for the interests of their respective communities. Pomona is working hard to have the road run through that valley. Whittier and La Habra are in the field actively for the road. Whittier has held a mass meeting of citizens to discuss When the natives pick oranges do so with a knife, with which they cut the stem, and throw the orange to a boy who receives it and puts into a basket. Oranges are broken down from the hills in all kinds, coming as far as twenty on foot. Some carry the fruit sacks, on their heads, some in basins others in panniers on burros, mulples and a few in two-wheeled to which two mules are hitched sometimes three. The fruit is of oak loose in such carts. On top o Mr. Cole's word counts for much with us. We believe him to be earnest and honest in his convictions, and his experience and opportunities for observation are such that we think his words are entitled to great weight in the controversy. From Capt. Meyler's statement the inference is irresistible that the government would discountance any attempt to erect a harbor at Bolsa Chica. A million dollars is being expended in the creation of a harbor at San Pedro, which one may plainly see from Bolsa Chica, not a dozen miles away, across the waters. Another million dollars is now being asked for to continue the improvements to that harbor. It would be foolhardy to ask for an appropriation for the construction of another harbor so near San Pedro. To ask for the improvement of every inlet or creek with which the California coast line is indented, and which might by the stretch of the imagination be regarded as navigable, would mean the increase of the biennial appropriation in the river and harbor bill of from twenty or thirty millions to three or four hundred millions, and this is out of the question. The government, as a matter of fact, is expending money at only two points on the Pacific coast between San Francisco and San Diego, viz., San Pedro and Port Harford. To ask an appropriation even for the survey of Bolsa Chica channel would be useless. While the construction of the dock was in the opinion of this representative of the War Department technically a violation of the law, yet such technical violations were, he said, numerous, but the government did not busy itself with them. The resultant damage was in many cases insignificant, and, in the present case, the question of benefit might possibly outweigh that of damage. Before making any recommendation What is the committee recently appointed to confer with the projectors of the Salt Lake railway doing in the premises? We venture to remind them that a dozen towns on the line of the proposed route have active committees in the field looking out for the interests of their respective communities. Pomona is working hard to have the road run through that valley. Whittier and La Habra are in the field actively for the road. Whittier has held a mass meeting of citizens to discuss it. Let the Anaheim committee get together and give a little time to the welfare of the city. Peach Borer. Horticultural Commissioner Huntington was advised by the horticultural commissioner at Whittier on Tuesday that a consignment of peach trees had been shipped from Kansas to La Habra, by way of Whittier, and had been taken from the cars without inspection. He drove over and found them badly infested with peach borer. He burned the consignment, consisting of 1000 trees. They were imported by a man named Jones. On driving home he saw a number of apricots on peach roots, numbering about 400, "beeled in" in nursery form. He inspected them and found that while no borers were apparent, yet the trees had been imported into the state without an affidavit that they had not been shipped from a diseased locality. He placed them in quarantine until such time as Mr. Millhouse, the owner, can procure an affidavit setting forth the fact that they have not been shipped from a section within 100 miles of any locality infected with peach yellows. Grand Jury. A committee of the Grand Jury consisting of G. W. Minter, Perry Lewis and D. B. Newhall, and James Harrison, expert accountant, have been in town during the week looking over the municipal records and the docket of Justice Shanley. They complimented the Judge upon the neatness of his docket, and spoke in terms of praise of all municipal accounts, which they found to be correct and in legal form. When the natives pick oranges do so with a knife, with which they tie the stem, and throw the orange to a boy who receives it and puts into a basket. Oranges are broken down from the hills in all kinds ways, coming as far as twenty feet on foot. Some carry the fruit sacks, on their heads, some in basins others in panniers on burros, mullets ponies, and a few in two-wheeled carts to which two mules are hitched sometimes three. The fruit is of loose in such carts. On top of oranges sits the old man, who does his wife and children. If he happens to have no family he will anyone who cares to pay 10 cents a ride, to town. Can you imagine condition of fruit after twenty miles in a tropical sun? But don't forget the old man is sly. He care to have a very good explanation as to how he took care of fruit, and that no one had sat on it will tell you this, and more, with that is as innocent as a baby's eye in which lurks a sympathetic He sells this fruit for from 25 cents per hundred, delivered at places in town where they pack it rels such fruit as is not squashed flat. They load the barrels once again and take them down to the place where a steamer is waiting to be loaded. They are slung on board five barrels a time in a sling, and literally drained into the hold, where negroes stow as best they can. The trip from New York city consumes six days. There is no doubt that in hair oranges, as in nearly all other Jamaica is many years behind times, which no doubt is greatly affected by the climate and the fact that ranges from 25 cents to 50 cents a day, as well as other conditions lifetime in such a tropical land leaves one with very little energy no ambition. Such are the new here. It is with great difficulty one can make them do things in a to-date fashion, and when they open to work the way you want they seems as if they took weeks to do an ordinary white man would do day. Taxation here is very high. Taxed for every animal one keeps PICTURE OF KINGSTON. GAZETTE: We have been nearly four months, and I write you my promised letter to leave next week for the New York city). It would be easier to fill a whole newspaper to teach upon the many insights which meet our eyes as it could take too long, and we threeseame reading, I will enclose myself only to a few industries and characteristics island and its people that I engage the most attention to be an interesting insight so may happen to read these is situated 1400 miles south of York city and 90 miles south of it is 144 miles long and 49 miles wide); area, 2,892,587 the highest peak is Blue mountain 600 feet above sea level. The too in 1800 was white, 14,432; 555,372. The climate, though tropical, is not so bad as people to believe. With careful given to exposure to sun and air, and ordinary precautions which living in a tropical climate necessary, life is made in the hills especially, very local fruits and vegetables grow no numerous to mention. Among other are potatoes, yams, okra, and beans, and of the former are the mango, pineapple, banana apple, shaddock and many others must not forget to mention the grape fruit, and as they only to be of most interest I will short outline as to how they are land and shipped. First of all let me tell you how the grown and planted. The namaica seedling, which is the native variety here, and which uses so far the whole of the crop, wild amongst the hills or along landsides, wherever nature has them. Never pruned, never irrigated or fumigated, thus grow, thrive and bear regularly to a cat; one’s vehicles are taxed per wheel, and also the very springs in one’s buggy! To buy and sell anything one must have a license; also in order to have a gun or any kind of firearm a license must be procured. To one coming from the states it sounds ridiculous and almost incredible. In Kingston there is an electric-car service, which has been in operation only two years. I understand it does not pay very well. The country people nearly all walk. They are too poor to spend a few cents and take a car, while the white population prefer to take cabs, or busses, as they are called. They carry three persons besides the driver. The horses, to look at, are miserable looking plugs, but can “get a move on” which is quite surprising. These busses take you to any part of the city for 12 cents. One of the most refreshing sights here’s on market day (Saturday), when the market places are simply crowded with native country people, all jabbering at the same time. They are supposed to speak English, but it is in a distinct which is very hard to understand. Whatever they have to say sounds like one long word; not the slightest attention is given to phrases or stops. Since women seem to do most of the labor and seem to support their husbands, who loaf around and look on, they (the women) are mostly in evidence at the markets, with baskets of wonderful dimensions on their heads, with their different merchandise for sale. Some will have a basketful of chickens, sugar cane, vegetables; others, native tobacco or stove wood. It is really wonderful what weights these women can carry on their heads. I have seen them carrying iron stoves, heavy trunks and pieces of furniture, always balanced on their heads, their hands hanging by their sides. They will walk along, always barefooted, with a swing and stride which commands much admiration, and their splendid physique, in an argument, much respect! The general formation and vegetation of the island are extremely beautiful; the combination of color, the different shades and shadows, has a charm of its own that few other countries can boast of in these latitudes.

As one sits on the broad veranda of this tropical hostelry, and on one side looks over the receding landscape, over valleys where banana and cocoanut trees are gracefully swaying under the balmy breeze, over hills thickly wooded with sturdy and twisted cottonwood trees, intermingled with mango and orange trees, while here and there some stately palms tower straight and proudly over all, and rippling grasses and ferns of all kinds grow rank underneath, forming a natural garden and park—far beyond all this, to where the Blue mountains pierce the rain-laden clouds and kiss the azure sky, forming a background that puts a finishing touch to a picture that few could paint, and fewer still could express in words and do it justice. Let one look on the other side. There we have, sparkling under the tropical sun, the harbor of Kingston, its several docks, with an occasional warship lying at anchor. At present the U.S. gunboat Scorpion lies a short way out from the land, and as we look upon the stars and stripes it reminds us of California and our friends there, and we are glad to think that, though we may not see them yet awhile, we will soon be in the States, with McKinley as President! At the entrance to the harbor are seen the forts glistening white in the distance, whilst beyond the bar, on the ever-welcome breeze, comes the booming of the breakers as they roll up upon the beach in the same old way. Yes, whatever drawbacks Jamaica may have, the fact remains that it is a very beautiful island and a place one is never likely to forget.

Allee started at about 7 o'clock to drive from the place of Allec Alexander to the home of the boy's parents, a mile and a half away. He had with him upon the seat of the wagon, beside Celestin, his little brother, aged 4 years. A hundred yards outside of the gate the little boy in some manner fell from his seat to the ground. Allec did not know the boy had fallen, and drove on. Alexander closed the gate and followed the wagon after the lapse of five minutes' time. He found the boy lying in the road. Life was not yet extinct. He picked him up and carried him to his father's house, where he died shortly after. When the wagon arrived at the Allec place the child was missed, and his mother set out to hunt for him. Near the house she met Alexander carrying the child. The body was brought to Anaheim yesterday morning, and was turned from the residence of M. Carson terder afternoon. Mons.
