What the Soil Will Produce Without Irrlga. tion Boring for Xatural Gat A Beet-Sugar Mill May Me Erected. The remarkable fertility of that portion of Monterey couuty which is comprised in Salinas City and its surroundings is almost too woll known to require description. Among the products of tho soil of that district which are famous for their good quality and the high prices they bring when placed upon the markets are potatoes, straw-bomes, onions, beets, apples, pears, etc. Tho soil is remarkably fertile a fact which has been proved by the succession of crops which have in years past blessed the producers.

In this vallev ths cultivation of the sugar beet is progressing on a large scale. Al-though tho farmors of the section are new at the business, the results of the past sea son's operations have been most encouraging. Cereals, root crops, grapes and other fruits find in Salinas and its environs a congenial soil and climate, and tho results secured without the aid of irrigation are often in excess of anything known, even where water is lavishly applied. WHAT TUB CITr LOOKS LIKE. One of the advantages enjoyed by the farmers is the nearness of the San Fran cisco markets, which are only three hours away by rail.

Salinas, which Is the county seat of Mon terey county, is situated aDout ton mues. from the bav of Monterev. Main street is its principal business thoroughfare, and it is li nea on both sides by handsome ana suo-stautial buildings which are set in compactly and form an unbroken front of struc tures for a distance of several blocks. Among the notable buildings are the county Court House, an imposing structure, the Public School-houses, over which the National emblem floats every day, the Odd Fellows' building and many private residences and semi-public buildings. There are a large nuinbor of pretty cottages surrounded by green lawns, em bowered with flowers, and shaded by evergreens and trees, giving to the piace a homelike and comfortable appearance which is very pleasing.

Societies of a fraternal and social character are numerous, and there are eight church organizations besides a nuinbor of schools, which are unexceled by any in the State. Enterprise and cultivation is exhibited on every hand by tho people. ALL THE MODERN CONVENIENCES. The citv enlovs the best quality of water from artesian water works, and it is lighted by gas and electricity; the streets are well paved and artificial stone is the material used principally on the sidewalks. Two weekly newspapers and one daily keep the people informed upon matters of general interest.

The Daily JnurtuU is conducted by M. J. Smeltzer and D. Harris. It is a live-paper, its columns are brisk and newsy, the happenings of the outside world are reflected in its telegraphic columns, while its pros perity is evidenced by the crowded condi tion ol Its advertising columns.

The U'eeltlu Democrat is conducted by the proprietors of the Journal, and has achieved a high standard. W. J. Hill, Mayor or Salinas, Is the brainy editor and proprietor of the Ifeefty Index. Ha ia assisted by Chauncey Barbour, and together they issue a jourual which has attained a large circulation and great importance.

Its editor, Mr. Hill, is a Republican, whose constituents have honored him by throe times electing hint to the Mayoralty. Salinas has a flouring mill with a capa city of BOO barrels a day. An immense grain warehouse, leet long, is stored to its utmost capacity with wheat (luring the season. Tho Monterev Fair Association, composed of Monterey and San Benito counties, has its hoadquarters at Salinas, and its annual display is creditable aliko to the district and the managers of the association.

A fair ground and racetrack about a mile from the city and a pavilion in the center of the town are among the possessions of the association. PROSPERITY OF THB CITI. The last annual report of the Mayor showed that the assessment-roll of the city footed up 1. 121, 659, which is a consider able increase over the previous year's assessment. The tax levy was 80 cents on each 100 worth of taxable property.

The cash receipts during tho year ending March at, loMU, were ttnu ulo uls. bursements were $30,448 r9. Tho debt of the city, which was increased two vears ago bv the citizens voting to issue $25,000 in bonds for public improvements, is at nvesent $22,500. which will be can celed bv the redemption of bonds at the rate of $1,250 a year. Some time ago the Board of Trade, recognizing the fact that the country around Salinas was exceedingly favorable to the cultivation of sugar beets, determined to agitate the subiect of establishing a boot-sugar mUl, and with that oud in view sent E.

The first spring runulng meeting of tho State Agricultural Society begins at Sac ramento on Saturday, and to Judge by the purses and general moneys offered and the class of horses that will contend for them, it will bo one of the best spring meetings ever givon in the State. The inauguration of this feature of the society's work was done nt the solicitation of the half hundred or more owners of thoroughbred farms and stables in the State. The various district organizations have every year decreased the number of running and increased tho number of trotting races on their programmes, until last season there was not a living on tho circuit for tho owners of thoroughbreds. The Blood-Horse Association, the, Golden Gate Association and the State Fair people wero the only associations which gave living purses for the runners, and the various small owners were being starved out. THB 8MALL1B STABLES.

Scattered over the State are a number of men owning two, three and four runners. They are good horses generally, and quite capable of running in average company. All of these men do breeding in a small way. With their small stables they cannot afford to go to the big tracks, so they must depend upon the local tracks to fur nish racing for them, both that they may make money by winning and that they may increase the value of their stock by performance in public. A spring meeting, under the auspices of the Agricultural Society, has been the sub ject of any amount of discussion among the horsemen, and last year they succeeded in convincing the society that such a move would be a commendable one.

Tho first meeting does not cost the so ciety a cent. Every purse and stake, to gether with the cash to meet the minor expenses of the meeting, was subscribed by the horsemen and the business men of Sacramento. The only thing that the State Agricultural Society does is to lend its name and its offlcors. Upon this plan the meetings will bo held for two or three years, and if they pay or meet their expenses, then tho society will assume the responsibility of conducting them with its own money. A GOOD LIST OP STARTERS.

There are now about 140 runners at tho Sacramento track, representing the best running blood in the State. The entry list is a very large one aud very few of the entries have been scratched. All the horses that wero here last week, with the exception of Hearst's, will race there, and two or three new stables will appear. There will be four days' racing, Saturday, April 26th, Tuesday, April 29th, Thursday, May 1st, and Saturday, May 8rd, with four races each day. The opening event, winett will be called at 2 o'clock on Saturday, is a dash of three-quarters of a milo for three-year-olds and upwards.

There are fifteen entries, among them being the familiar names of Al Farrow, Daisy Kittie Van, Carmen, Picnic, Longshot, Abi and Ooloma, as good a crowd of ail agers as ever faced a Sacramento starter. The second event is the Norfolk stake named in honor of the great race-horse and sire of great race-horses a sweepstakes for two-year-olds, five-eighths of a mile. When the entries closed in 1889 there were thirty-seven nominations and twenty-three are left in, among them being Fairy, Iiinfux, Tear less, Minnie fewer, Ulenlivet, Tno Drake, Acclaim, Miss Melbourne, Arcado and Joe Harding. A selling purse, $400, for all ages, a mile and a sixteenth, succeeds the Norfolk stake, with Applause, Dave Douglas, Sheridan, Kildare, Black Pilot, Steve Stroud, Welcome, Oro, Jou Jou, Jack Brady, Maggie B. and Albatross as starters.

The day will conclude with, the California Oaks, a sweepstakes for three-year-old fillies, one mile and one eighth. Eda, Retta Emma Nevada, Fabiola, Muta, Rain drop, Mabel Marigold, Adelaide, Reata and Phiiena are in it out oi seventeen regu lar nominations. JOCKEYS ARE SCARCE. The track is in good shape, fast and safe. There will bo a scarcity of jockeys, since Starter Coombs sat down ten of them for fifteen days at the Blood-Horse meeting.

The fifteen days just prevents their having a mount at Sacramento. Coombs will probably handle the flag again there. WHAT ABOUT MARIN? Assessor Vanderbllt's Chinese Associate to Be Prosecuted on Tula Side. Deputy Assessor James Flynn yesterday filed two complaints against Ah Sing, tho Chinese boss who, in connection with tho Assessor's office of Marin county, has boen trafficking in blank poll-tax receipts, thereby depriving tho city of San Francisco of large sums of money. One complaint was filed under Section 65 of the Penal Code, which makes it a misdemeanor to act in a public capacity without having qualified and given bonds.

The other was under Section 431, quoted in full In yesterday's Examiner, nnd relates to the delivery of receipts for poll taxe3 otherwise than prescribed by law. Deputy Flynn stated to an Examixeb reporter that it was the intention of the office to proceed against Ah Sing with the law's full force. Do you suppose any action will be taken against Assessor Vanderbilt of Marini" was I have no means of knowing what will be done. I know this, however that if they do commence an action it will bo fur worse for Vanderbilt than it can be for the Chinaman, The latter has been guilty of a misdemeanor only, but the Marin official has been guilty of a felony. "One of the evening papers caused a great deal of fear and commotion in Sonoma," continued Mr.

Flynn. It stated that the poll-tax receipts were sold there instead of in Marin, and Assessor Long-more and Sheriff Colgan were in our office bright and early this morning. Well, you never saw such a relieved pair in all your life as when they found out that itwas a mistake on the part of the paper." Assessor Nealon thinks it highly probable that nothing will be dono in the matter, but declares that an example should be mado somewhere. Mrs. Piatt's Sanity.

The examination of Mrs. Josephine Piatt before the Commissioners of Insanity in Judge Murphy's chambers yesterday was ordered postponed until Saturday. Alfred G. Piatt, her husband, who swore out the warrant, was on hand, as were also Mrs. Piatt, a number of her relatives and friends and her counsel.

The choice of location for tho next en campment was the subject of a long discussion. Comrade Yost withdrew Fresno from tho field, thus narrowing tho contest to a choice between San Diego aud Santa Cruz, The vote resulted in 107 for San Diego aud 168 for Santa Cruz, and tho latter place was accordingly fixed upon for the encamp ment of 1891. A call was made for those who will go to tho National Encampment, and fifty-five comrades responded. From this itwas esti mated that about 500 would go from this State.

SILENCE OF THOSE INTERESTED A Warrant Out for tht Arrett of th rugilittie lawyerMr. Terry itefuses to Talk of tht Affair. Special to the Examiner, 1 Fhesxo, April 23.

This pretty city is quietly excited to-night over a little one sided fistic encounter and tho swearing out of a warrant for the arrest of a prominent attorney, charged with disturbing the peace and battery. Tho man against whom the charges are made is none other than N. C. Caldwell, the attorney for the administrator of the estate of the late Judge David S. Terry, and the man who was knocked out is William Peterson, Sarah Althea'a coach man.

If there is one there are half a dozen different stories going tho rounds, and it was only after a Ion? chase that an Lx- AMiNEu correspondent was able to got at some of the facts of tho case, for on account of tho prominence of the people concerned the most stringent measures and strongest influence are boing brought to bear to hush the matter up. Just when tho assault occurred is not known, except that it wag late last night, and the reason for it is completely shrouded in mys tery. The coachman, who is a little bit of a fellow, was found, and in a very reluctant manner he told the following story HOW IT HAIH'ESED. "Last night Mrs. Terry went down town to get a cook.

The Chinaman who had been with her so long left and she has had to do her own work. I went with Mrs. Terry, and one thing and another kept me ouite late. We started to go home, and when part of the way Mr. Caldwell came up to me, called me vile names and struck me." Here the diminutive Jehu shut up like a clam, and to amount of questioning would get him to say a word until he was asked if he had been drinking anything yesterday, and then his Scandinavian blue eyes flashed and indignation mastered his reticence.

"No; I have not had a drop in two days, and I never am intoxicated, but Mr. Cald well was. He hardly knew what he was about. He struck me a hard blow, but I used no resistance. Mrs.

Terry was with me at the time, and this is not the first time he has given me trouble. Some little time ago, one night after I had taken him home, Mr. Caldwell came back to Mrs. Terry's home some time between midnight and morning. "He did not wait to have the door opened, but kicked it in and came throuirh as if there was no door there.

I was sleeping in tho hall on the floor and he walked right over me and another fellow who was sleeping with me." THIKGS BE DID NOT KNOW. Why wero you sleeping on the hall floor!" "I don't know." Did Mrs. Terry fear intrusion" "I don't know." Who was the other fellow sleeping with youf" "It was her cousin, Kodney, and Mr. Calawell assaulted him, too, some time ago. I have had him arrested, but I won't get any justice, for they will beat me, and it will only cost me money." Here Peterson's reticence got the better of his indignation again, and not another word could be got out of him.

He has been employed by Mrs. Terry for about eight months and has a good reputation. Inquiry at Justice of the Peace Home's office corroborated Peterson's statements that he had sworn out warrants for the pugilistic lawyer. Lying loosely on the desk were the two legal documents, one alleging battory and the other to the effect that he disturbed the peace "with loud noises." Has Mr. Caldwell been arrested yet?" No not at vet.

He is a prominent man and we will always be able to get him. He is in his own recognizance." What is the punishment for battery!" It is usually a fine, but the law makes it in some cases pretty severe." hen does the case come up The date has not yet been fixed. THE PRINCIPAL WON'T TALK. Mr. Caldwell was found in his office sit ting at his desk.

He is a man in the early prime of life, tall, athletic and good-looking. He wears one of those unusually long mustaches, such as comic paper artists are inclined to put on the cowboys, aud the lawyer, it is said, comes from Texas. He wore a broad-brimmed black folt hat, and his clear eyes flashed when the object of the Kxaminek man's visit was made known. The words I have nothing to say, sir," repeated a great many times and in an emphatic in truth, a very emphatictone, will convey a fair idea of the result of a rather persistent interview. He betrayed nervousness by his hands and the twitching of his giant mustache, but that was all, and he was left behind to his lawbooks.

Mrs. Terry's cottage here is a very nrettv one. It is surrounded by trees, is built low and three dogs created a savage hubbub at the loud rapping at the door, which was necessary to attract attention in the absence of a bell. MRS, TERHT'S HOME. "I am Mrs.

Terrv." said a nleasant- voiced figure in the shadow in response to an inquiry, accompanied by an Invitation to "step in." The room was that used by the late Judge as a study and library, and it was iu a most charming state of confusion. Newspapers were scattered over th chairs, law papers, jewelry, cigarette stumps cubeb cigarettes they seemed to be and a prayer book littered up tho Legal text-books.
