Farmers and Orchardists
Rejoicing Over the
Rainfall.
A Timely Soaking That Gives
New Life to All Parts
of the State.
Grain and Fruit Crops That Were
Wilting Now Give the
Greatest Promise.
Special Dispatch to The CalL.
SAN JOSE, Feb. 24.— A glorious rain
began falling here at an early hour this
morning, and has continued heavily up
to this hour — noon — with every prospect
of an all-day soaking storm. At 9
o'clock the fall was .66 of an inch. Total
for the season, 5.92 inches, as compared
wih 15.22 inches at this date last year.
The rain comes just in the nick of time.
It insures a vigorous and rapid growth
of grain, which generally is just getting
through the ground good and ready for
moisture. Orchardists are delighted, as
well as the ranchers and stock growers,
as it saves them the expense of irriga
tion. Many new trees have been put
out, and the rain insures them a good
start. With seasonable showers through
the spring crops are reasonably sure
now.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 24.— During last
night and to-day this region was fav
ored with a heavy downpour, and in
consequence farmers are feeling good.
While there had been no alarm on their
part, ram was sorely needed, and the
present fall seems to have i>een suf
ficient to raise their hopes for splendid
crops. Weather Bureau reports show
that up to noon to-day the fall was .90
of an inch for the present storm. Re
ports from all points through the fruit
and wheat growing sections of the Sac
ramento Valley show the fall to have
been heavy. An extraordinary thing is
that there is only about thirty-five
inches of Bnow <<n the summit of the
Sierras, where usually at this time of
the year there has been from twenty
to twenty-five feet. The effect may be
low rivers, unless immense downpours
of rain ensue.
STOCKTON, Feb. 24.— 1t began rain
ing here early this morning, though the
rainfall was light— little more than a
sprinkle. At intervals up to noon to
day there were slight showers. The
weather is very threatening, however,
and there are indications that a heavy
rainfall will be the result. Upon the
severity of this storm depends much.
The crops are in splendid condition at
present, and should two or three inches
precipitation result from this storm the
harvest of grain in this county will be
immense. This fact is conceded by <.M
farmers and grain men throughout the
county. Up to now there has been con
siderable anxiety among raisers of
wheat, but the present outlook for a
protracted storm has given things a
much brighter aspect. Five-hundredths
of an inch had fallen up to noon, and it
is still raining.
FRESNO. Feb. 24.— 1t has been rain
ing here since midnight, and the best
crops are assured. The last rain start
ed wheat well, but dry winds have
damaged it to some extent since. It
is agreed, however, that the rains of
last night and to-day will reduce this
damage to a minimum. Wheat is well
up, and there has now been rain
enough to insure a good crop. Sheep
and pattle men have not been com
plaining since the last rain, which
storm will assure plenty of feed for
their stock.
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 24.— Indications
to-day are very favorable for rain here
and in the greater part of Southern
California, though not a drop has vet
fallen. The need for a heavy down
pour is very groat, and it is an open
question whether <>r not it is not now
too late for early sown grain to derive
much benefit, even if copious rains
come. Supplies of water for irrigation
and domestic purposes are very low.
The hay crop will be light, even with
plenty of rain now, and grain crops
have suffered. Fruit will be backward
SAX DIEGO. Feb. 24.— The weather
conditions in San Diego County are
much better in the foothill velleys of
the county than on the coast. The total
rainfall in San Diego to date is 3. 1T
inches, as against 9.08 inches last year
at this time. Only six-hundredths of
an inch of rain has fallen here this
month, and, although it is cloudy here,
there is no wind, and prospects are not
favorable for more than showers to
night. The grain crop in valleys twenty
miles from the coast is about half the
average crop. The principal anxiety
is lack of water for irrigating and the
city supply next summer, as the reser
voirs are all very low in this section,
and unless rains come will not last the
season out.
NAPA, Feb. 24.— A welcome rain has
been falling since midnight. It was
greatly needed.
WALNUT CREEK, Feb. 24.— 1t com
menced raining here early this morn
ing and at 6 o'clock this evening it is
Btill coming down. The crops in this
valley have never looked better.
WATSONVILLE, Feb. 24.— We are
experiencing the heaviest rainstorm of
the season. A gale commenced blowing
last night at 9 o'clock and continued
until 7 this morning, when rain began
falling steadily till noon. During the
afternoon fitful showers fell, giving the
ground a thorough soaking. There are
indications of more rain to-night.
MARTINEZ, Feb. 24.— Rajn com
menced falling at midnight and con
tinued up to 5 o'clock this afternoon.
The fall for the storm is 1.36 and the
total for the season 8.01 inches. Last
season up to date, 20.62 inches. There
will be good crops this year. The rain
has been a wonderful help to fruit
trees. The hills are green and there is
no suffering of stock.
VENTURA, Feb.- 24.— Rain began
falling here at 2 o'clock this afternoon
and has continued at short intervals.
Heavy black clouds ara hovering over
this city and the wind is in the south
east, which are indications for a heavy
storm to-night and to-morrow.
SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 24.— The wel
come rain commenced falling this
morning at S:SO and has continued
steadily all day. At times the down
pour was very heavy. The river is
higher than at any time this season.
The rain came when most needed.
WOODLAND, Feb. 24.— Rain began
falling some time Wednesday night
and has continued at intervals ever
since. At 8 o'clock this morning the
precipitation amounted to nearly an
inch, making about seven and a quar
ter Inches for the season. The barome
ter to-day touched the lowest point it
has reached this season. The wind is
in the southwest, and all Indications
seem favorable for a continuation of
the storm. Grain crops, while a little
backward, are in fine condition, and
will mature with less than the usual
amount of rain. Four or five inches for
the remainder of the season, if properly
distributed, will insure one of the
largest crops ever harvested in Yolo
County.

Double Dealing of the Los
Angeles Syndicate
Press.
Its Jugglery With the Water
Question Finally Arouses
the People.
The Call's Expose of the Rascality
Hatching Upsets Its Evil
Designs.
Ppecl.il Dispatch to The Call.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24.— The im
j pression seems to exist with the syn-
I dicated water company dailies of this
I city that the people have no right to be
! kept fully informed as to every devel
! opment and procedure that is taken in
; the matter of restoring the water plant
to the city and the resumption of mv-
I nicipal operation. This is the policy
pursued by certain officials in the City
; Hall. They strive to prevent any intel
i ligence as to the negotiations or their
; progress from reaching the people. The
Times, Herald and Express make no
effort to keep their readers posted save
on such 'occasions as an apology or an
! excuse or an explanation Is set forth
on behalf of the water company. Many
of the officials at the City Hall decline
to give out information for the reason,
1 as they state, that they do not desire
I the water company officials to learn of
their plans.
The truth of the matter is that no
; step has been or will be taken by the
! city in the matter of municipal owner
i ship and control of the water plant
j that the water company officers are
! not acquaint"d with before it is taken.
! The people are not fooled all the time,
S and upon this point they are fully sat
'• isried. Therefore, when they are told
; that they should be kept ignorant of
what is being done with their interests
; they are displeased and they have
manifested their displeasure in a most
! substantial way. They feel that this
! excuse is given in order that a job of
some kind or character may be put up
on them. It creates a suspicion in their
minds that they are being treacherous
!ly dealt with. They feel that as it is
their money that is to be used to buy
the water company's improvements
: they should be entitled to full light up
on the subject.
But the Times, Herald and Express
have totally failed in the discharge of
their duty in this matter at the behest
of the water company. The <'all has
occupied the field and has given the
people the most complete and compre
hensive information on the all-import
ant water question, totally free from
water company dictation— all of which i
has been very distasteful to the water
company press, but eminently satisfac
tory to the people of Los Angeles.
As an evidence of this prevailing idea
among certain people that the citizens
should know nothing as to the manner
in which their Interests are handled
until a deal has been consummated this
information is given:
The Westside Water Company has a
small plant which supplies the citizens !
in the annexed district with water. I
i The corporation has made a proposi- I
tion to the city to sel! Its plant and the j
matter is being considered by the j
water committee of the City Council.
The people of the whole city know
practically nothing about the West
side Water Company or its property, j
With a view of gaining that informa- |
tion. of ascertaining who the stock
holders were, what they had for sale, '
what mileage of pipes, mains, etc.,
what water rights, what they expected
to obtain for their property and all de- |
tails of general interest to the prospec
tive buyers, the citizens of Los Ange
les, a representative of The Call re
quested the secretary to furnish a
statement giving the desired light.
The gentleman said he would have
to consult the directors and officers be
fore he could do anything. He held
such a consultation and when a second
time asked for the statement the secre
tary said that the officers? and direc
tors had decided not to give any infor
mation at this time. The gentleman
was told that inasmuch as the com
pany had made a proffer to the city to
dispose of its plant the people were en
titled to know what had been offered
them and what income it was produc
ing. The secretary simply stated that
he would be compelled to abide by the
instructions of the directors and of
ficers. This is the spirit manifested by
the corporations and many of the city
officials in all of these water deals.
CANADA ABOUT TO
CHANGE HER TACTICS.
Must Make Certain Concessions to
Klondikers Departing From
American Ports.
SEATTLE, Feb. 24.— A telegram was re
ceived to-night from Ottawa, which in
dicates that the Canadian Government
may now make certain concessions that
will be highly appreciated by prospective
Klondikers who depart from either San
Francisco, Portland, Tacoma or Seattle.
Last week the request of Congressman
Lewis of Washington State, that miners'
licenses should be issued at Lake Tagish
in order to facilitate the journey of
United States gold-hunters in the Yukon,
and obviate present delay at Vancouver
or Victoria, was refused by the Dominipn
authorities. Now the ultimatum comes
from Washington, through Sir Julian
Pauncefote, that unless these facilities
are forthcoming the sub-ports of Dyea
and Skaguay, which were established
chiefly for the convenience of Canadians,
will be closed, rendering it practically im
possible for any Canadian with supplies
purchased at their home market to enter
by Lynn Canal routes. The announce
ment that the Canadian Government will
withdraw from its unreasonable attitude
may, therefore, be expected any moment.
WOUND ABOUND A SHAFT.
Terrible Mishap to a Eureka Boy in
a Shingle Mill.
EUREKA. Cal., Feb. 24.— The 12-year
old son of J. E. Paul of this city met
with a frightful accident at Bell & Han
son's shingle mill, at Trinidad, to-day.
It is supposed that he became wound
around the shaft. When found he was
lying on the floor unconscious. One arm
was torn from the socket, the other
broken In two places, both legs were
broken and he was badly cut about the
face and body. A physician was sum
moned from Arcata, and the boy's father
has gone to the scene of the accident,
but it Is not yet known whether he will
survive his terrible injuries.
KERN CITY MASQUEBADE.
BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 24.— About 10
o'clock last night three masked men en
tered a saloon in Kern City with pistols
in hand and relieved the bartender and
till of about $12 and then backed out and
disappeared. The officers were imme
diately notified, but up to this time have
made no discovery as to who the parties
were. It is surmised that the men are
traveling along the railroad and every
time they get a chance they commit a
robbery and then go on to the next town.
Besides the money taken they got two
pistols and a bottle of whisky.
THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1898.
SETBACK FOR
GOOD ROADS
Projected Folsom Boule
vard May Never Be
Constructed.
An Opinion by Judge Dillon of
New York Exercises the
Sacramentans.
He Declares That Supervisors Have
No Authority to Issue Bonds
for Such Purposes.
Special Plepatrh to The Call.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 24.— After all
the fuss and fighting and flurry, after
all the troubles and trials and commo
tion, after months of hard work and
incessant labor, after a hotly contested
campaign and days of anxious waiting,
the news comes at last which will in all
probability result in the Folsom boule
vard project being naught but a fan
tasy and a dream. Worse than that— a
nightmare to many who have spent
money, time and energy to the end of
an ignominious failure.
From the very start there seemed to
be some kind of a hoodoo hovering over
the scheme to build this twenty miles
of State road. The District Attorney
of Sacramento County first came out
with an opinion which proclaimed some
constitutional barriers. The Attorney-
General then took a hand and removed
the Ryan obstruction. When the elec
tion was all over, the State's legal pilot
found what he termed another blunder
on the part of the County Attorney,
and thus the sore between them could
not be healed.
Now it appears that had the District
Attorney stayed with his original con
tention and had the Board of Supervis
ors taken his first advice instead of the
Attorney-General's, there would have
been a great saving to the people of
Sacramento of time, money, worry and
excitement.
The proposition to bond the county
for $75,000 to build a model highway to
Folsom, which the State would ever
after keep in repair at its own expense,
was carried by a vote of seven for the
bonds to one vote against them. In
side the city limits the vote was eleven
to one. Never before had the people
of this county voted more overwhelm
ingly in favor of improvements.
When the time came to sell these
bonds there were plenty who seemed
anxious to purchase them. The b»;st
bid was from N. W. Harris & Co. of
Chicago, the bid being $76,012. The
next highest bid was from D. O. Mills
& Co., being about JBOO premium on the
entire issue. The bonds were awarded
to Hnrris & Co., and their agent, H. C.
Barroll, arranged with the People's
Savings Bank for the money, but asked
for time in which to- send all the papers
concerning the bond issue to the firm's
attorneys in Chicago.
Last Saturday word was received
frr.m the Chicago attorneys expressing
doubt as to the validity of the bonds
and requesting further time, stating
that the matter had been referred to
Judge Dillon of New York, who has a
national reputation as a bond expert.
Late yesterday afternoon word was re
ceived from Judge Dillon to the effect
that Supervisors have no power to is
sue bonds, and that property of muni
cipalities cannot be taxed for county
road purposes; that the county cannot
issue bonds for county roads purposes
and make the property of municipali
ties liable for the same. In this Judge
Dillon sustains an opinion to the same
effect given by District Attorney Kyan
on August 27, 1897, and overrules an
opinion given by the Attorney-General
in the case on September 26, 1897.
The Supervisors had asked District j
Attorney Ryan as to their powers to j
issue bonds for county road purposes, ]
and Ryan had replied that municipali- j
ties could not be taxed for such bonds, j
The Department of Highways was not .
satisfied with this opinion and re- j
quested an opinion from Attorney-
General Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald's opin
ion was adverse to that fit the District
Attorney, and on the strength of it the
election proceeded.
In a subsequent opinion the Attorney-
General stated that the bonds might
possibly be declared illegal, as the de
nominations of the bonds were not
named in the proclamation.
Judge Dillon in his opinion says that
there is nothing whatever in this objec
tion; that the sole cause of invalidity
lies in the fact that municipalities can
not be taxed for county road purposes.
The Supervisors met this afternoon,
in company with H. C. Barroll, and it
was agreed to take the matter imme
diately to the Supreme Court. Until
an opinion is received from this tri
bunal the people of the county need not
lose heart entirely. There is yet a
chance that the Supreme Court will de
clare the bonds valid, in which event
the firm of N. W. Harris & Co. have
agreed to pay over the money. It may
be that there is something in the point
that the Folsom road will be a State
road and not a county road, and it
may be that the laws of California are
capable of more liberal interpretation
than those of New York. However this
may be, it is probable that a final de
cision will be forthcoming in a short
time, and until then there is nothing to
do but to hope.
The effect of Judge Dillon's opinion. If
sustained by the Supreme Court, will
be to put a sudden stop to good road
building in the State. San Mateo
County is now on the eve of voting to
bond the county for $300,000 to build
good roads, and this election would, of
course, be called off.
VILLAGE OF CAPAY EXCITED.
A Little Girl's Temporary Disap-
pearance the Cause.
WOODLAND, Feb. 24.— There was much
excitement for several hours In the vil
lage of Capay yesterday on account of
the disappearance of Julia, the 10-year-old
daughter of Sylvester Brocclnl. Some
time during the afternoon she was sent
to the store on an errand. Falling to re
turn within a reasonable time, an alarm
was sounded and a search party organized
After scouring the neighborhood for five
hours the little girl was at last found se
creted in a barn near home. Her story
is to the effect that having stayed away
longer than necessary she feared to go
home lest she might be punished.
BBANCH LINE COMPLETED.
Nordhoff Now Connected With the
Southern Pacific.
VENTURA. Feb. 24.— The Ventura and
Ojai Valley Railroad was completed to
day. The tracklayers and construction
train arrived in Nordhoff this noon.
The building of this new railroad by
Grant tiros, for Hon. John Cross and
other Lob Angeles capitalists was com
menced last August. The road is fifteen
miles In length and joins with the South
ern Pacific in this city. On Sunday -Cap
tain Cross, president of the railway com
pany, and other interested parties will In
spect the road before accepting. ttegul.ir
freight and passenger trains will com

A MYSTERY OF
LA CRESCENTA
Occupants of "Jerusalem
Palace" Drop Out
of Sight.
Doors and Windows Found
Open, but the Costly Furni
ture Is Undisturbed.
Owners of the Mansion Have Long
Been Missing and Foul Play
Is Suspected.
Special Dispatch to The Call.'
PASADENA, Feb. 24.— A princely
castle stands utterly abandoned at La
Crescenta, a short ten miles northwest
of this city, among the foothills. No
one seems to know where the former
occupants have gone. About ten days
ago they were missing and investiga
tion showed the doors open, silverware,
bric-a-brac, mahogany and other cost
ly furniture all untouched and not a
living soul in sight.
The history of the "Jerusalem Pal
ace," as it is commonly called, is in
teresting. About ten years ago Dr.
Briggs of Northern California settled
there in the foothills with his young
niece, whose father had died. Dr.
Briggs was an invalid. The girl was
an heiress. R. Gould, a young clerk
with a small salary but romantic ideas,
married her. Soon the young wife came
into a fortune. The two decided to
build a handsome residence. The result
was an imposing structure, which has
attracted many visiting tourists.
Standing up against the mountains, far
back from the traveled road, it resem
bles some ancient feudal castle. It is
built of granite obtained from the can
yons, nearly gray in color. There are
two towers and a court between them.
The building is but two stories in
height and studded with many little
windows. About the place are foun
tains, grass plats and shrubbery, all
terraced off and exceedingly handsome
in effect.
; All this work was done at about the
i time of the Pasadena boom of eight or
ten years ago. Inside the house was '
. furnished extravagantly, in keeping :
: with the outside, at a total cost, it is
: said, of about $65,000. The silverware, j
I mantels, clocks, staircases, carpets, !
j etc., are all of the most costly mate- *
i rial.
I For a time the young couple lived
happily together. Their neighbors :
1 bothered them very little, for the coun- !
try around about is settled by ranch- |
; men who raise (ranges, lemons, peach- '
es, apricots and prunes. Gould was
fairly well known in this city, though
; living so far out. He is not often in :
: town. After a time Gould became in- I
' terested in mines. The fortune his wife ;
inherited was lost, and of late he was '
] known to be in straitened circum
stances. The handsome palace grounds
began to be neglected, and Gould was
away much of the time.
There had been few visitors, as the
road i an far from the house. Sti'.l
1 passers-by every day could not fail to ■
note that the place seemed to be de-
Berted, and about te"6 days ago J.
Bathey decide*! to make an investiga
, tion. The result was startling. Not a !
soul was in Bight, yet doors were open,
■ windows up and plates and saucers
were on the table as if the owners had
but just Btepped out on the porch.
The neighbors were informed of this, j
' and comparing notes they found th;it
i no one had seen Mr. and Mrs. Gould
i for days. A watch was kept on the
! premises, and no one came. Where are
j Mr. and Mrs. (Jould? No one knows.
; Had they gono away upon a short visit?
| Would they have left thousands of dol- i
I lars' worth of furniture unlocked in
an isolated house? Foul play has been
' whispered, but as yet there has been
! no proof that f'<ul play was committed. |
j Time only can unravel the mystery of
the eccentric tenants.
STUDENTS WILL DEBATE
ON PRISON-MADE GOODS.
PALO AI.TO, Feb. 24.— The question for
the Intercollegiate debate was decided
here to-day, Stanford's representatives ;
havfng won the toss against Berkeley's :
committee at a meeting In San Francisco
last week. It Is as follows: "Resolved, \
That the system of unrestricted produc- !
tion of prison-made goods for sale in the
open market on the public account is
preferable as a system of prison manage- :
ment to the system in operation in the
State of New York." In New York the
law forbids prisons from engaging in pro- ,
ductive industry, except in so far as the !
State institutions may require. The
Berkeley team has now one week to ;
choose the side of the question that it
will support.
Death of John M. Wilbur.
SAN JOSE, Feb. 24.— John M. Wilbur, a
pioneer resident of this county, died at
his home near Evergreen yesterday after
noon. He was a native of New York, and
seventy years of age. He came to Cali
fornia in 1553, and a year later settled in
this county. A widow and a married
daughter survive him.
Death of A. A. Oglesby.
SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 24.— Word has
been received here of the death of A. A.
Oglesby, District Attorney of this county,
inHLos Angeles, to-day at 1:30 p. m. The
cause of his death is not known. Mr.
Oglesby has been District Attorfiey of
this county off and on for the past twen
ty years. He was a native of North Car
olina and in his fiftieth year. He leaves
a widow and two daughters. He will be
buried Saturday in Santa Barbara-

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 24.— The annual
convention of the Y. M. C. A opened at
9:30 a. m. H. J. McCoy called the dele
gates to order for a business session at
10 o'clock and N. H. Jacks of Oakland
was made temporary secretary. The
chairman then appointed C. M. Camp
bell of Sacramento, J. P. Smith of San
Diego and W. D. Ball of Los Angeles
as a nominating committee, who re
ported as follows: President of the con
vention, F. M. Porter of Los Angeles;
vice-presidents— E. P. Clark of River
side, Major J. Hardie of Birmingham,
Ala., and D. E. Collins of Oakland;
secretaries— F. A. Jacks of Oakland
and J. J. Pennington of Santa Bar
bara; press reporters— W. O. Black of
San Diego and G. F. Ekins of Sacra
mento. President Porter appointed as
a committee on credentials J. E. White
of Riverside and Charles Glunz of Oak
land.
C. H. Chamberlain of Oakland was
introduced and read a paper on the
financial side of the work. The paper
was a good one, presenting the subject
in a clear and forcible manner. He
spoke of the need of correct financial
methods and of a sufficient amount of
money to carry on the work of the as
sociation. The financial burdens should
be borne not by one or two, but by all
who are interested in the work, which
should be as far as possible self-sus
taining. Mr. Chamberlain closed his
paper by giving some general princi
ples on financial management.
H. J. McCoy of San Francisco led an
interesting debate on accounts, book
keeping, etc., which was participated
in by a large number of the delegates
present.
The afternoon session was full of in
terest. Rev. A. J. Frost of San Ber
nardino presented the first paper. His
subject was "The Bible" — one that he
is familiar with. He urged the young
men to take their lessons from the
book and to be guided in all their deal
ings by it. He had done so and had
found it the only safe way.
C. P>. Willis, secretary of the Milwau
kee association, followed with an able
address on "Religious Life of the As
sociation."
At the evening session Rev. Charles
Edward Locke of San Francisco spoke
to a crowded house. His subject was
"Young Men and Their Value to So
ciety." The reverend gentleman said
that upon the good morals of the boy
depend the man, and on the man the
welfare of the nation. The address
was patriotic as well as religious and
was well received.
