OUR WORLD'S COLUMBIAN FAIR ILLUS
TRATED EDITION.
The Herald will issue a world's Co
lumbian fair edition of the Illustrated
Hebald. Arrangements have been
made with the most finished artists in
America to insure the greatest perfection
of detail to the illustrations. A quarter
of a million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. It will be
printed on heavy book paper, and will
be distributed by uniformed boys during
the progress of the exposition, and the
distribution will be under the direction
of an intelligent superintendent, who
will see that each copy shall go where it
will do the most good. It will be de
voted to Southern California, every por
tion of which will be treated impar
tially. In a few days accredited agents
of the Herald will start out on the
work of canvassing the people in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do so, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to bo either mailed east by themselves, or
distributed at the world's fair through
the Herald's agency. There is no rea
son why the greatest boom ever known in
the history of Southern California should
not follow in the wake of the Columbian
world's fair. It is the mission of tbe
Hebald to see that this shall be the
case. The high standard of previous
editions of the Herald is a guarantee
that this supreme effort will be of excep
tional merit. The aim will be to make
it nonpareil. It will be noted that In
this ambitious edition all the counties
of Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise
She geueruas patronage winch will un
doubtedly be accorded to it, and which
fn reality will only be bread cast upon
the waters, which will return before the
lapse of many days. This is the mis
sionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the Herald proposes
to see that they shall get here, in great
numbers and of the right kind.
MIDSUMMER TRADE EDITION OF THE
HERALD.
Copies of the Midsummer Trade
Edition of the Hebald, issued last Sun
day, can be had at the business office
ready for mailing for 5 centa per copy.
There ia a large amount of valuable infor-
I mation in it about Southern California,
and it will be greatly appreciated by
eastern friends.
That one man from Pennsylvania who
-voted for Senator Stanford in tbe Omaha
convention, must have felt lonesome

The Republican congressional con
vention for the Seventh congressional
district is called to meet at Merced on
Jnly 2d. All the indications point to
the renomination of Bowers. It is gen
erally conceded tbat he will be opposed
by the Hon. Olin Wellborn of San
Diego county, an orator of exceptional
ability and a statesman of varied and
pronounced attainments. Wellborn,
compared to Bowers, ia as Hyperion to
• Satyr, and it would be a queer vagary
if, in a close district, be should fail to
carry off the prize. We learn from the
Fresno Expositor of July sth that that
.county has instructed for Bowers.
The Bepublican who is interested in
tbe success of his party must really be

SOWING THE WIND AND REAPING THE
WHIRLWIND.
The occurrences at Homestead, Penn
sylvania, with which our columns are
full today, cannot fail to have struck the
attention and the imagination of the
readers of the Hebald. This place,
which bids fair to be historic, is situated
on the south bank of tbe Monongahela
river. It aligns a stream which is his
torical. About seven miles higher up,
on the other bank of the Monongahela,
lies Braddock's Field, where Washing
ton replaced the vaunting British gen
eral in command of the English and
Virginian forces away back prior to the
Revolutionary war. Between Home
stead and the center of the city of Pitts
burg lie some of the most highly popu
lated labor districts in the United
States. The workers in iron alone—the
male and adult workers in iion in the
city of Pittsburg—will probably amount
to between thirty-five and forty thous
and souls. They are all stalwarts, and
argument with them ia something alto
gether out of the ordinary line of con
troversies. Fear is alien to the breasts
of these brawny giants. When they
pick up the cartel of defiance, often
wantonly thrown down by their op
pressors, there is always something epic
to read about in the columns of the
presß immediately thereafter.
Immediately opposite Homestead,
where Andrew Carnegie has immense
iron and steel works—that is to say, on
the north bank of the Monongahela
river—Carnegie and his partners have
another enormous plant, called tbe
Beesemer works. It has always been
the policy of Carnegie and his partners
firat to feel the pulse of their workmen
on the south side. If the experiment
went well at Homestead the screw was
applied at Bessemer and elßewhere. The
modue operandi was a simple one, but it
was subject to miscarriage, as witness
the occurrences at Homestead yesterday.
And, indeed, the situation there is
critical in the extreme. It is a spectacle
in no wise creditable to republican
democratic institutions. Here we have
a firm, which ie supposed to typify
American iron-workers. They are, in
truth, the really accredited representa
tives of the Iron Barons. They have for
thirty years dictated congressional legis
lation in their own interests. They
have built bulwarks around their pre
scriptive right to rob, and have thrown
out breakwaters against the ris
ing tide of public sentiment, at
last aroased to conscientious op
position. They have not only
maintained, but tbey have increased,
the scale of imposition npon tbe con -
turner, under the specious pretence tbat
they desired to increase the wages of
the American laborer, that tbey have
desired to keep them at a standard far
higher than the scales which prevail in
Europe. Ac a matter of fact, they have
aimed to betray, and have sncceeded in
betraying, the American laborer. They
have kept the word of promise neither
to their ear nor to their hope—while
they have gone on becoming richer as
the operative grew poorer. It bas been
the old and only too true story of the
rich becoming richer and the poor
poorer, year by year.
Aa a result o! all this chicane, we now
Bee a tragedy of exceptional energy and
emphasis in conree of enactment on the
banks and on tbe stream of the Monon
gahela river. Carnegie and bis partners
tried their first experiment on a special
class, embracing only five hundred men
in their Homestead mill. It was simply
the entering wedge—the thin end—to be
followed by tbe butt. The temaining
forty-three hundred operatives—possibly
feeling that their end would come next—
or possibly inspired by a genuine sym
pathy with their oppressed brethren —
threw in their fortunes with tbe selected
victims, with tbe result of a strike or
lock-out—call it what you please. And
now comes tbe tragic aspect of the
matter.
In the insolence of an unchecked
power Carnegie and bis associates send
a barge loaded with Pinkerton detec
tives up the river, to take possession of
the Homestead works. These people
are absolutely unknown to the law.
They are a malign and indefensible devel
opment of the past twenty years. They
arrived at Homestead armed with re
peating Winchesters, of the moat im
proved description, prepared to deal out
death on every hand. The rightful de
scription of these people is that of
"Thug." No band of desperadoes ever
subsidized by power in India, to con
summate murder, could surpass these
people in all the unscrupulous purpese
and devilish enginery of slaughter.
They came, they saw, and, fortunately,
they have not yet conqueied. Infuriated
by such an ostentatious display of mur
derous and despotic purpose, both banks
of the Monongahela river are swarming
with energetic protestante against cal
culated and methodized murder. Rifle
shot has rnng back echo to rifle shot.
The striking ironworkers are showing
much of tbe heroism of the people of
Moscow, who. unable to cope with tbe
victorious legions of the First Napoleon
snrrounded them with a cordon of fire.
They are even setting the river aflame
with petroleum, and cannon ball and the
explosion of dynamite sticks answer in
full volnme and resonance the rifle Bhots
of Pinkerton's hirelings, a species of
Pretoriasa unknown to tbe laws and ab
horrent to the spirit of our institutions.
Surely no lover of republican institu
tions can repress a devout hope tbat the
people may win ? If it is a toss up be
tween honest, hard working men and
imported mercenaries, no American can
fail to breathe a prayer that the hones*,
toiler may beat tbe deepoiler.
The present conjuncture ia not abso
lutely new. Ib many respects it is a
repetition of the Pittsburg riots of 1877.
In that sensational episode fully four
teen million dollars' worth of the prop
erty of the Pennsylvania Railway com
pany and of private citizens wae sacri
ficed. Blood threatened at one time to
flow like water. The county of Alle
gheny, in which Pittsburg is located,
finally settled the claims of the Pennsyl
vania Railway company for $5,000,000.
In that celebrated incident the loss of
property was fortunately much greater
than the loss of life. It waa to have
beec hoped that the nouveaurieh* in the
United States would have learned a les
son from these dire events, but they did
n^t.
On the contrary, Col. Thomas A.
Scott followed the riot by an article in
tbe North American Review, advocat
ing the establishment of an army of
one hundred thousand men to hold the
laboring massea in subjection. The
American people smiled at him. One
and all, they thought that the necessity
of the hour waa that capitalists should
cultivate a spirit of justice and concilia
tion rather than tbat their abaurd
whims should be humored by tbe
slaughter of the people.
Tbe fact is that this Pittsburg inci
dent, lurid and unpleasant as it is,
reminds us that there are a number of
most important questions in the United
States that must be adjusted in a spirit
of mutual concession rather than by the
peremptory and domineering diction of
the millionaire. Meanwhile, the Pink
ertons must go 1

boy hat we knew that there was blood
on the face of the moon. Our friend
Gage, who has lately started out as a
newspaper controversialist, is really not
in tbe race, and has not been at any
time. His practice is too large to admit
of any such divers on. The tight on the
Republican side ia really between Lind
ley and Hazard, with the odds in favor
of Lindley, with Judge McGee, of Pasa
dena, as a possible dark horse. The
candidacy ot Marion Cannon, of Ven
tura, on the People's ticket, has much
reduced the value of the Republican
nomination.
The probability is extreme that, after
yesterday's experiences, it will be ex
ceedingly hard hereafter to recruit the
force of Pinkerton detectives or fighters.
They are unknown to the law. They
ought to be forever unknown to the
law. They are essentially myrmidona of
tyranny. The scenes of cruelty enacted
yesterday "will revolt any right feeling
man. But, as we suggest elsewhere,
those who sow the wind must expect to
reap the whirlwind. The Pinkertori|
murderers having been disposed of, it i«
now incumbent to put down the mob.
For this purpose the whole militia of
Pennsylvania, and the whole force of
the United States if need be, are avail
able. It is unspeakably lamentable
that such incidents should be possible
in the Unite?. States under a high pro
tective tariff.

ft'otions About Sleep.
One of the rudest Rets in the eyes of
a native of the Philippine islands is to
step over a person asleep on the floor.
Sleeping is with them a very solemn
matter. Thoy aro strongly averse to

during sleep the soul is absent from the
body, and may not have time to return
if slumber is suddenly broken.
If you call upon a native and are told
"He is asleep," you may as well depart.
To get a servant to rouse you, you
must givo him the strictest of orders.

per Month Without Interest.
Not a Land Distribatiop But ;m Investment of Money!
Each Share will Earn Five Per Cent Per Month on Each $100 for Five Years
From the Date of the First Subscription, and Has

Books of Subscription to Be Opened Saturday, June 18th, at the Office of
the Company, 280 North Main Street, Adjoin
ing the First National Bank.
Sixteen hundred and thirty shares at floo each will buy the Fowler Ranch of 65t0 acres, with the
present improvements and the prospective improvements to be made by the present owners at a cost to
them of $30,000. This splendid property is situated on the border line of Tulare and Kern countie*,
four miles west of the Valley Road of the Southern Pacific railroad, and four miles north of the
branch line to the oil wells, and twelve miles west of the present line to San Francisco. A survey of
the Santa Fe line has been made through the western portion of this tract.
The best fruit and vine land in the slate. In the heart of the artesian belt. To be sub-divided
into forty-acre tracts, including a town site, with artesian wells and an irrigating canal of twelve
miles, broad avenues with trees, and water for conveyance to each subdivision. The improvement*
are to be paid for by the present owners, and are included in the contract of sale to this company. Far
these improvements $50,060 is set aside. Title perfect and undoubted.
PROSPECTUS:
We are soliciting subscriptions for shares in an incorporation to be organized for the purpose
of buying from the present owners tho Fowler ranch, containing 6520 acres, situate on the bor
der line of Tulare and Kern counties, for $25 per acre, with its present improvements and with
$30,000 of improvements to be made by the owners and Included ln the price of $25 per acre,
as stated. This Is not a land distribution, but an investment of money, with return of money
and profits, by dividing the tract into 40-acre subdivisions, and after the improvements are
made, selling at a future period at UOO or more per acre. There will be 1630 shares ln the corpor-
$100 each, to be paid for iv ?5 monthly installments without interast. On the sixth pay
ment tho subscribers will incorporate, will elect their officers, and the trustee they may appoint
will receive a deed for the 6520 acres, in escrow, clear of all Incumbrances, with the certificate of
title attached of the Abstract and Title Insurance Company of Los Angeles, to bo delivered to the
corporation when tbe purchase money Is paid. The $30,000 proposed improvements guaran
teed by a deposit In bank of that amount, to bo paid out to the contractors on certified vouchers,
as they progress with the work. x
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY.
The land is a rich black loam, and is known as the Fowler ranch. It was purchased many
j cars ago by the late Senator Tom Fowler of Tulare, when he had the opportunity of obtaining
tbe cream of Tulare and Kern counties. It Is In the center of the artesian, fruit and alfalfa belt;
has upon it now a sample artesian well flowing 860,000 gallons, and is ln the immediate vi
cinity of the largest flowing wells in the state.
The Present Price, and What the Investment Will Pay.
The low rate of the purchase, $25 per acre, with all the present and the projected improve
ments herein recited, made and paid for by the present owners, at a cost of $30,000, enables m
to guarantee at the lowest rate of sale in the future, say $100 per aero within five years, an in
terest of 5 per cent a month on each share of $100 rom the date of subscription. This Is no
exsggerated statement, but Is borne out by the plain figures submitted, and also accords with
the opinion and nnblased Judgment of the best experts ln Southern and Northern California.
Improvements Already Made And to Be Made.
This tract has one section already fenced, a colony house, the present flowing well, large res
ervoir, etc. The improvements to bo made by the present owners will consist of an irrigating
canal of twejlve mlleß.slx more artesian wells as feeders, survey and dlyUlon into 40-acre tracts'
survey and laying out of the town of Colonna, broad avennes through the entire property
planted with trees, etc.
How Improvements Are Guaranteed to Stockholders.
$30,000 of the purchase money will not be paid over to the present owners, but will be set
aside for the improvements stated, and deposited dally, in proportion to the subscriptions, Ib
the name of the ■'Columbia Colony Improvement Fund," to be drawn from bank on certified
vouohers given to the contractors as they proceed with the improvements.
In regard to the necessity for a lownslte upon this tract, everyone will admit that a eoloay
embracing 160 farms will demand and build up a prosperous town. The estimated price of one
quarter-acre lots, $30 each, will doubtless be far exceeded as sales are made. For this purpose
220 acres will be surveyed and laid ont in one-quarter-acre tots.
Topography of the Tract.
The whole tract of 6520 acres Is level—not a hill upon It—the fall of the land Is sufficient lor
drainage, and Is admirably adapted for the conveyance of water by oanal, aa there is nothing to
obstruct its course.
How the 5 Per Cent Per Month on Each $100 Is to Be Earned for the 5 Years.
M«iy well known citizens thoroughly versed in tho capabilities of lands in Southern Califor
nia double the estimate that wo here set forth of 1100 per acre within five years, and assert that
at the end oi that time this splendid body of land, improved aa proposed, with water conveyed
to each tract, will command readily and quickly $200 per acre. But we place it at the low fig
ure named, $100 par acre, and any larger amount that it may be sold for will increase the per
oentage which we claim it will earn at our figures.
652Caores at $25 per aore, with the Improvements Included $163,000 00
Interest at 5 per cent per mouth from commencement of subscription to
the end of the 5 years on 1630 shares 489,000 00

Sales of 880 town lots of acre each •• - • 44,000 00
$674,000 00
This would leave a surplus of $22,000 after paying the interest of 5 per cent per month
his surplus would meet all expenses for tho full term: salary of superintendent, taxes, expenses
attending Bales, and any extra improvements that tbo trustees might deem necessary.
Upon What the Estimate of $100 per Acre Is Founded.
This calculation is fonnded on only one-half tho rcsultß heretofore attalaed by others in the
Improvement and sale of large tracts of land In Tulare, Kern and other counties. The grand
water system of Haggin. Tovis & Carr is at the head. Messrs. Page and Morton s Artesian Frnit
Belt Colony in Tulare Is also a fair example. They paid $6 per acre for their tract, nine years
ago, and today it Is selling for from $150 to $350 per acre. General Turnbull's tract, a short
distance north from the Fowler Ranch, cost $15 per aero five years ago, and now, with the
Introduction of water, etc., it Ib selling at $100 per acre and upwards. We could point to a
number of other enterprises in Los Angeles, Kern, Tulare and Fresno counties, from which the
projectors are reaping a still larger reward for their perseverance, energy and ability ln handling
large tracts.
Opinions of Prominent Citizens.
This prospectus, before publication, was submitted to several conservative and prominent
citizens of Los Angeles. They all, without an exception, placed the sales of tbis property at the
end of five years at far more than our estimate of *100 per acre, thus giving each shareholder a
larger interest than 5 per cent per month on his investment.
Expert Statement of the Value of the Property.
Messrs. Easton & Eldridge of San Francisco, so well known for twenty years past and at the

everyone. It will also be borne In mind that should the stockholders elect to soil at $100 per

will net them 10 per cent, per month for that period.
