of irrigating our arid plains. I can only

in preparing them for market. The en
tire Pacific coast is interested, however, in
a movement here for raising the duty on
prunes. The fruit-raisers were given a
bearing before tbe ways and means com
mittee yesterday, when .Congressman
Clunie presented a petition lrom tbe
fruit growers of Santa Clara valley,asking
that the duty on prunes be raised lrom 1
to 3 cents. Under the present duty, with
existing freight rates, foreign producers
can lay down iu the raaaketsof New York
anl eastern cities at prices witii which
Pacific coast producers cannot possibly
compete, whereas if the duty is raised, as
desired, western growers can control all
these markets.

posed to have been wrecked in tbe China

over tbe China sea, and it is thonght the

that will ever be found. The . Dubera

China trade, bhe wag commanded by
Captain ' Berteisen and cleared from

A FROZEN HEAD IN THE SNOW.
San Francisco, January 11. Word
reaches here that yesterday tbe big rotary
plow was slowly working its way through
a cut which had been filled np by drifts
of snow during tbe night, there was a
cabin occupied by Henry Gillman on a
side track, and the plow would throw
snow over the cabin some twenty feet.
A few minutes after the snow plow
passed yesterday be looked out of a back
wiudow and .saw a man's head sticking
above tbe pile of now just deposited by
the snow plow.. Jle-went to the man s
assistance and spoke lo him, but there
was no reply. Further examination re
vealed tbe fact ithat the head, severed
from its trunk, was resting on tbe snow.
He lifted it up. It was a lrozen head,
with the eyes open, staring at him. Then
he realized that the snow plow had cast
it there. Digging over tbe snow he
fonnd the mutilated trunk, !cgs and arms
of the poor fellow thrown along for sev
eral yards. The clothes were stripped off
aud torn, and the body terribly mangled,
but there was no blood on the sunw.
showing that the man was frozen stiff
when reached by the plow. -The theory
is that some -one attempted to pass
through the cut over tbe track in the
storm, and getting overwhelmed by the
snow, p. rished. The snow had complete
ly tailed in the night be I ore, and the
body could Lave been there but a few
hours. The name of the man is not
known.
ARRESTED FOR MURDER. - '-
Astoria, Jan'. 11. Yesterday Sheriff
Smith arrested a man named Sam Smith
I upon suspicion of being the murderer of
j Captain Logan in San Francisco two
months ago. smitn wnue aruriK saia nc
had pumped it into Logan and wanted lo
get even on one more man before he wus
satisfied. Smith when, sober this morn
ing denied all knowledge of. Logan or
the crime. He answers the description of
the murderer in every respect. .Logan
was killed by an unknown man while
playing cards in a saloon on Broadway
and Stockton streets. - The murderer es-?
caped without a hat, and was traced as
lar as Sacramento.' Cliiel Crowley has
been communicated witb, and a reply is
awaited.- " '
states to warrant us In hoping we can get
an appropriation through congress to pre
pare irrigating basins or bore artesian
wells, although any fair-minded man will
acknowledge this should be done. The
government has a right to irrigate its
own lands. "We have very little agricul
tural land which tbe poor man can settle
upon, and if we should irrigate the arid
plairra there would be a new life opened
to tbe poor man who wanted to go west
and take vrp a homo at the expense of the
government.- ......
I am unalterably opposed to the pro
position to donate the lands to the states
with the understanding they shall be
made arable bv irrigation. - Whenever
the Federal government gives its lands
to the states to be irrigated it turns all of
such lands into the hands-of monopolists.
Tbe states have not the money to irrigate
these lands and they would give them to
irrigating companies who would be as
grasping and fraudulent as such corpora
tions have been in tbe past. I would
prefer to depend upon changing elements
or climate for irrigation than on irriga
tion companies.
I am thoroughly disheartened and be
lieve that tbe whole project for the gov
ernment to assist us in irrigating our arid
plains will fall through. One thing is
ceitaio, we cannot get money for irriira-
ting purposes Until we have overcome the
piejudiccs which abound east of tbe Mis
sissippi river. -:'.
