M.ick. 1 George W. Frink. President of the 1'j. cific Const Land Bureau, arrived in thin city last evening by late train, an 1 luring the day wan cut with Mr.

Con-dee, of Condee" looking at valuable property lyin north of thin city. He left for Los Angeles on the train. Our reader may look for a big land sale in a few days. Mr. Bray, of the firm of Bray Mathes, our genial abstract men, was introduced yesterday for the first time to Riverside and its inhabitants.

Mr. Bray saks of his trip as having been a very pleasant one. He was cordially received by those whom he met, and was assured of a liberal amount of patronge in his line of business. While Condee Storv have offered for several days lots for sale in the Gatch subdivision at heartrending prices, many have taken advantage of these extremely low figures and terms to suit, and purchased the foundation for a lovely home. No finer investment can be found in this county.

Tojwgraplij-ally it is the "Nob Hill" of San Bernardino. The view is delightful. To the north the chain of mountains 6,000 feet high with Arrow-bead standing out in grand relief; to the east and outn East Highlands, Logon ia and Redlandscatch the eye ith all their beautv. Until November first we will still offer the above at very low figures, when prices will be advanced to correspond with other localities. There are over a hundred thousand people awaiting their turn to come to this county.

Every train that leaves the East, bound West, is fully occupied and there would be more on each but for the lack of seating capacity. A train bound for this city a few days ago left Kansas City in four sections, three of them of twelve cars each, and all full, and there were between three and four hundred people left benind. Mrs. N. J.

gundland, wife of our well known townsman, made amplication for a berth in a sleeper four days before the date of her intended departure from the Fast and was unable to obtain one, as they had all been engaged. The raMi to Southern California is enormous, and the question naturally arises, how can wo accommodate these people in the matter of houses and rooms when they come Another oasis is about to spring up amid the cacti and jack rabbits of the Mojave desert, although tho principal movers in the undertaking strictly forbid publicity in the matter, and it was only through a most solemn obligation that a reporter was able to glean the few fol lowing facts. For some time past this unknown company, as we will stylo them, have been adding to their wealth through the desert land act and the railroad system much of tho valuable lands lvins in and about Rabbit Springs and now have at their command several thousand acres. Their idea is to test this soil and climate by planting a few orange, lemon, puacii ami apricot trees and a general variety of trees, their ex pectancy resting principally on the otange and raisin grape, which they feci quite certain will prove a great success. 1 hey have an abundant water supply, which thev will bring in pipes a dit-tancu of nine miles, tho hoiuco of which is number of springs which they are cer tain can be made to yield a sutllcient amount to irrigate a largo urea.

Rabbit Hnrinir are situated about nixly mile InorthertKt from thin city. There is no doubt but that their scheme will buc coed, hacked with energy, money am rtlentvof water, and it is our earnest ilesiro that later on wo may speak of them a the "Iky tree," in a flourishing condition. 1 A few evenings of the Salvation worth thought it would to present the "army" with DAILY COURIER, SAN BERNARDINO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1887. The Southern California Motor Road company completed their organization yesterday, and elected the following officers: Samuel Merrill, president; II. C.

Kolfe, vice-president J. A. Merrill, treasurer; E. W. Freeman, secretary.

A code of by-laws were adopted and corporate seal selected. All of Mr. Button's railroad interests were transferred to the new corporation, which will assume control of the motor road now in operation on November 5th. 11. W.

Freeman were appointed a committee to get up bonds of $300,000, half of the amount of interest bearing coupons of $500 each, and the balance of the denomination of $1000 earti, payable in from five to twenty years. Adjourned until Saturday, November 6th. Charles It. Hudson, agent for the California Southern railroad in this city, has resigned his position, to accept a more agreeable one in the home of his childhood, Springfield, Illinois, and will leave for the et-ene of his new duties next Saturdav morning. With him will I go tne best wisiies oi many inenun which his allutniity arm general quaiin- cations have made for him in tins city.

Under his able management of the local interests of the company the interests of the people and those of the corporation have always harmonized, ami many ot our business men will reirret Ins depart ure. Socially, he is well known, as he possesses in a marked degree mat fac ulty which needs but to make a man known to make mm iikeu ana respeciea and his company appreciated. The Courier joins his many other friends in ishing In in a pleasant journey home, and an abundance throughout his future life. Of SalratloiiUti Arrested Attempted Robbery, to his success Having no change with him, he presented Miss Decrow, the carrier of the tambour ine receptacle for the coin of the gener ous, with a ten dollar piece, stating at the same time that she could return him and keen the balance. Neither she nor the coin returned.

The Captain and the girl were arrested and arraigned before Jurtice Parker ycHterday on a charjre of embezzlement. The girl says hhe gave th content of the tambourine to the Cap'um. and the Captain says 1'irei-l- a two c-nt nuiull bilver coins tii'TC in the collection aii.I Juiitice I'arker and the luries will have to as modern Solomons an ili-eiil't who Kes ml who xwi't. demanded jury trial.

An Old rionear (iunt. one of the o. iginal eoiomt-ts at Agua died at his home in the Trujillo settlement yesterday, after a brief illness. He came to Auua Mansa with his father, Lorenzo Trujillo, and brothers Teodoro, Doroteo and Julian in 1842 and started the settlement of Aeua Mansa, being a body of land granted them and other New Meiiean colonists, by Juan liandini in 1842, the consideration being that they should protect Jurupa and other ranches down the river from th" raids made by Indians, and hquipula Trupllo bore on his nerpon marks of Indian arrows, re ceived in defending their settlement. The funeral takes place, to-day at 19 o'clock from his home in Trujillo settlement and the remains will be placed in the Agua Mansa cemetery, where rest the remains of Don Cornelius Jansen and other noted pioneers.

Death Mass. Fred Hasse, the miner injured by the falling of an empty bucket on his head in Temeseal Monday night, expired in the county hospital yesterday afternoon. Until a few moments before dissolution he retained consciousness and his death as nainless and without a struggle. All that the attending physicians, Collins and Wainwright, could do t6 lessen his sufferings had been done, ana nis death, which from the very moment of the accident was imminent, was as easy as the falling asleep of a healthy person Bad Ui. About half past seven o'clock last evening the lights on the gas gets in the corridors of the county jail suddenly dis ppeared and the place was left in utter darkness, consequent, of course, to stowage of the gas flow.

A few minutes a. later the cries ot tne prisoners caugm the attention of Deputy Mienir Joe Bright, who found that the incarcerates were nearly asphyxiated by the escaping gas, which, without the nery spars io consume itself, is deadly. Gas should be delivered in a steady stream, and not iv fits and starts. But for the prompt nea ot the deputy several would have been in order. funerals Evidently the vags who get veil ac quainted with the county jail through the medium ot a short sentence for vagrancy come to regard that institution as a home, for no sooner are they out than they evince a desire to get hack again hy committing some depredatory act of sufficient magnitude to attract tho at tention of the ollieers.

About 8 clock last night an unwaxhed party entered a room in the King House with the' in tention, presumably, of doing a little "lifting." There was an occupant there who was awakened nv tne noise oi the other's rumaging. He gave the ularm and tho intruder fled empty handed. A short time afterward iwputy Nieriti Bright and Constahlu Ferris found the would-be thief iu a room in the Stewart building and arrested him. He proved to be a vag who had completed his term for vagrancy only three days ago. He will have a chance to get buck to his old quarters for a longer time.

Since the aWe was written it has been learned that the thief got awav with a revolver and tried to dispose of it in the short interim between hts es cape from the room and his capture by the officers. A Board Tra4. The proposition to establish a Board of Trade, hich has slightly agitated the public mind of San Bernardino for sev eral days, became the all-absorbing topic of the business places, the side walks and the streets on the appearance of an article on the subject in yesterday morning's Courier. There seemed to be a great deal of discussion, yet no argument, because of the fact that those interested (everybody) were unanimous in opinion, and the universally expressed opinion was to the effect that this city needs, and niust have, and that so soon as the organization can be effected, a Board of Trade.or Chamber of Commerce, through which the expres sion of public sentiment on matters pertaining to public affairs can always find ready expression. That this general idea might be expressed by those vitally interested individually, a reporter of the Courier was delegated to interview sev eral prominent business men on the subject, ascertain their pergonal views, and thereby obtain an epitome of the gen eral public idea.

Several persons of busi nes8 prominence whom he sought on his tour of interrogation, could not be found, but a sufficient number expressed themselves to lead us to the conclusion that when the movement is once inaugurated there will not be a dissenting voice The question sprung by the repoiter was "What is your idea of establishing a Board of Trade in this city?" and here follow some of the replies John Andreson: Such an organization would be of great benebt to the com munity, if the members would properly attend to it am in favor of the proposi- since at the barracks tion. but we must have no croakers, frauds, C. C. South- kickers or men devoid I a public spirit be a good idea five cents, rmininn L. Ancker Would be a splendid idea would help our city wonderfully, but a in afraid it would be difficult to obtain enterpribing subscribers enough to make it a succecs.

Truman KeeveB: We should have Board of Trade by all means, and that ttiri. us soon as noKMble. J. W. Waters, jr.

Of course wo need such an institution. If it were made of the right kind of timber, and had the proper leaders it could not do otherwise than prove of great benefit to the city. J. G. Burt: With representative men, men of progreFB, at the head of it, it could he made of great assistance to the county as well as city.

But to organize under the leadership oi men oi neither mental nor financial force would not only U) of no benefit, but would result disastrously to ur interests. It. V. Cunningham: Would certainly be of great benefit. Livingston Co.

A splendid idea we are in favor of it. C. F. Koe ould certainly redonnd to the good of this citv, and to that of everv man who owns a dollar's worth of property. Considering the size and rapid growth of our city, such a movement is imperatively necessary.

Condee Story: It would be absolutely the very best thing the city could do fur its own business interests. Such an institution has long been needed. Louis Jacobs: It tne business men would organize such an institution without having among them any back sliders or obstructionists, and use their endeavors to work together harmonious Iv, it would help tne city a great deal. What our people seem to lack is unity Without that we can do nothing. Oscar ewburg: very necessary should have been done years ago would he beneficial to the city in more wavs than one.

W. K. Porter need it, we want it and we must have it. John Brown, Jr. Good! advance it, nush it.

A. M. uarnum: Just tne thing a necessity. Mr. Allison, of Bedford Allison: A good idea.

Lawson Broinere: a great scneme, worthy the efforts of everybody. Judge Willis: Highly important to our future prosperity. Mr. Draper, of Draper Stanley: think it is a splendid idea. Evans Bros: A o.

1. It should be done by all means. Captain rishon it we naa tnat en terprise hich characterizes San Diego we would boost tins highly commendable measure, and we would be more successful than that city, for we have natural resources hich she does not possess. These are some of many. No man to whom the question was propounded had a word of objection and it is probable, judging the opinion of the many by the expression of the few, that if every man in the city had lieen interrogated that replies of all would have been counterparts of those given above.

There is no division, no objection, and with such an universality of opinion in the affirma tive there can lie no negative quantity to block the scheme to properly organize and maintain a Board of Trade in the city of San Bernardino, except it be that kind resulting from a lack of push, en- rgv and ambition on the part of those whoso co-oiieration must be active and not merely passive.
