Left for bondholders, about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Left for creditors, about ninety thou sand dollars.

Total $240,000. The foregoing figures tell better than words the story of the start and wind-up of the affairs of the Pacific Packing and Navigation Company, and the Pacific American Fisheries, two allied corporations brought together but a few years ago one great trust, to contest with the old-established Alaska Packers' Association, for the fishing supremacy of the North Pacific Ocean. Starting auspiciously, in the full enjoyment of tue confidence of financiers and practical fish packers, the new trust thrived but briefly. The inglorious ending of its career came yesterday in Judge Hanford's court, when remuneration of the Washington receivers and their counsel was fixed and ordered paid. The Alaskan courts had previously paid the Alaskan receiver and his counsl, and the remuneration of the Eastern receiver and counat! has been fixed In the courts of New Jersey.

For the dissipation of vast sums of money, no blame has ever been fixed upon anyone. Short season followed short season, both under the frlglnal management of the Pacific Packing and Navigation Company, and under subsequent receivership. Difficulties in administration were met with from tli start, which no power within the great concern seemed able to overcome. Almost from the very start the trust took the down grade. By the simple scheme of Issuing worth of bond, they were able to obtain that sum from the Knickerbocker Trust Company of New York.

With this money they bought nineteen canneries In Alaska and an immense amount of equipment. Two years after the flotation of bonds, the Pacific Packing and Navigation Company had succeeded in doln nothing beyond making heavy sales of its stock and the accumulation of about $1,800,000 In debts. In March, 1903, the corporation owed approximately $5,000,000, when the Colonial Trust Company of New York brought about the receivership. RANCHES BURNED OVER. PASTURE FIRE NEAR VALLE.TO.

YUKON RIVER SERVICE. 4 CUDAHYS TO INCREASE IT.

BT DIRECT WIRE TO THE TIMES. TACOMA (Wash.) Nov. B.fExcIu-sivo Dispatch. The North American Transportation and Trading Company, controlled by the Cudahys of Chicago, Is preparing to greatly Increase Its service on the Yukon River next season, with the object of at least equaling the service maintained by the Northern Commercial Company and the White Pass Railway. General Manager Isom announces that the company's present fleet of passenger steamboats will be completely overhauled.

Three steamers, Jaid up Tor two years, will be placed in service, and a large number of barges built for use between St. Michael, Fairbanks and Dawson. Business on the Yukon River Is growing bo rapidly, and has become so thoroughly established, that It will no longer pay to act conservatively, In Isom's Judgment. The barges will built on Puget Sound, and taken north next spring on steamships. The company will arrange to have Its Yukon freight delivered promptly at St.

Michael for reshipment. Instead of being carried to Nome, and thence back to St. Michael, as heratoforo. The company's steamboats will open two new rivers the Novikaklt, a tributary of the Yukon, and the Kantishna, emptying Into the Tanana both being found navigable 150 miles. New gold camps have been discovered on iith streams.

HIGH-CASTE HINDOO HERE. FINDS LOS ANGELES JUST TO HIS LIKING. Haa Been All Over the World, and Being an Outcast from His Native Land, Declares the "Angel City" ta be Next Best Hia Opinion of Missionaries. B. C.

Bonnarjee, a high-caste Hindoo, Is at present In this city, with the probability of making Los Angeles his permanent home. He said last night: "I have traveled all over the world B. a BONNARJEE. and have seen no place where everything pleases me so much as In Los Angeles. The climate is fine and the people are so friendly and kind that I would rather live here than anywhere In the world except India." "Would you really rather live In India than in Los Angeles?" he was asked.

"Well." he said, with a slight laugh. "I'll tell you, after a person lives here awhile, I dn't think he would like India." He explained that he would not care to go back to his native land, because he had "lost his caste." He is a Brahmin, the very highest caste, as things go in India, and his farser is very wealthy, so wealthy, in fact, that this son, who ts 26 years of age, has traveled all over the civilized and uncivilized world, and haa been carefully educated. He la a civil 'engineer, an electric engineer, and speaks excellent English. "A Hindoo," he said, "loses his caste the moment he iaves his native land. It Id not necessary that he PA If ana antiquated motor car which The distance la thirty-four miles from Los Angeles.

From Watt station to Santa Ana, a distance of perhaps twenty-five miles, the road Is as straight as an arrow. On the downward trip no effort was made toward a quick run on account of the rain, but coming up over the wet rails it was made in fifty minutes to the station at Sixth and Main streets. The fare for the round trip has been fixed at $1, or 65 cents for one way. After leaving the city limits the road runs through a territory that has not been previously tapped by an electric line. Flu; farms, dairy ranches and large tracts of vacant land flank the road the entire distance.

Santa Ana is a forward little city of about 10,000 Inhabitants, with a splendid fruit, walnut and peanut-producing country surrounding. It has had outlet for its products for many years hy both the Santa Ffi and Southern Pacific railroads, but the facilities afforded by the electric line will rush local development of Its residence section, though it ts remarkable what Santa Ana has done without such facilities. Its main streets are paved with asphalt and adorned with many substantial business blocks which would do credit to a larger city. A monster celebration of the completion of the electric road is planned at Santa Ana for November 22, when, a variety of expensive floats will be In parade to represent the various products of the locality. Every interest of the city Is enlisted In the scheme.

On the return trip yesterday the whole mountain range to the east was seen to be covered with snow, which had fallen during the rain in the lower altitudes an interesting illustration of the winter climate of Southern THE OWL DRUG CO. Tell Why They Indorse Vlnol So Hlffhly. Firet: Vinol contains la a concentrated form all of the ediclnal curative elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' livers, but without a drop of oil to nauseate and upset the stomach, and- retard its work, therefore where old-fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will do good Vinol will do far more good. Second: Because Vino Is not a patent or secret medicine It contains no Injurious drugs' to react upon the system, and you know just what you are taking, as everything it contain Is printed on the back label of every bottle. Third: Because Vinol acts first upon the stomach, creates a healthy appetite, tones up the digestive organs, purifies and enriches the blood, and In a natural manner health is restored, and strength is created.

Fourth: Since we first put Vlnol on the market our admiration for it has steadily Increased, because It rarely disappoints a customer, In fact we can truthfully say we never sold a medicine more satisfactory to create strength for old weak, sickly women and children, nu-sing mothers and to build up strength after a severe Again Vlnol Is endorsed by eminent physicians and guaranteed by over two thousand cf the leading druggists of this country. Tbeve are Pome of the reasons why we beliove ia Vinol The Owl Drus 320 South Spring street THE first electric car that ever entered the town of Santa Ana was the private coach, "El Peregrino," of the Pacific Electric Railway, which made the first trip over the new line from this, city yesterday with a party of newspaper men and other special guests, In charge of Traffic Manager McMillan and H. S. Kneedler, advertising manager for the road. Preparations had been made by the Santa Ana municipal officers and Chamber of Commerce to receive and welcome party with a brass band, a committee of ladies with flowers, and twenty-two automobiles for a tour about the town.

There was only one thing lacking. No boats had been provided by the usually far-sighted citizens of the handsome little city. They, however, had no reason to expect the first rain of the season. Rain began to fall shortly before the arrival of the. car at Santa Ana, and knocked all the local arrangements on the head, but Mayor Edgar and a committee of citizens were on hand to greet the- visitors and escort them to the Rossmore Hotel, where a fine dinner was served, after which a short time was spent about the streets.

One block on the main street, which was dug up for the yet Incompleted road, was filled with water like a canal, and the Mayor was Jocosely addressed as Edgar. The old motor car which for years has done duty between Santa Ana and Orange, was there, a dumb witness to the entry of its swifter rival, which will In a few days entirely displace the antiquated Bervlce by the completion of the electric, road between the two towns. They. Are privileged to go and come. "I was a civil engineer In India, and was also a student at, Calcutta University, but after I lost my caste by grolng to 'England, my father would have nothing more to do with me, though for a time he sent me money.

I studied electric engineeing in 1 London and served a practical apprenticeship under Westlnghouse, in Manchester. I then went to Burmah as a civil engineer, afterward returning to India to sell my property, for I could no longer stay in my native country. My father is very rich, but he Is bigoted and superstitious, like all the Hindoos. "It Is my purpose to studycustoms and conditions In this county, and during the nine months I have been in America I have visited all. the principal cities, but have found none I like so well as Los Angeles, and I now expect to stay here." Asked about the Hindoos who come here to tefich the people, he said: "They teach the very things that have kept my country down by keeping alive the superstititlon and bigotry which have been its ruin." Mr.

Bonnarjee carries with him a large photographic outfit, and lectures on the customs and religion of the Hindoo, lliutnailr.g with a stereoptl-con. though he says he never delivers any of thes lectures unless specially requested to do so. Such requests have already'come to him from Immanuel Presbyterian Church and the First English Lutheran Church, though no dates have been fixed.
