Trade, which dissipatcs the hopes created
by recent rumors, that The difficulties b..

that these reports arc entirely unionhdGd
and that the puddlCtS have not declared

ufacturers have gotten along much better

expected when the lockout commenced
The reasons given for this are that great

TIE EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD,-One Of
the reasons given for experimenting the
speedy outbreak Of n war which will in
volvo all Europe, is, that the present
armed peace is nearly us burdensome to
the nations who are parties 10 II rs actual
war would be. The New York Times,
discussing the matter, estimates that Ger
many Is paying for the maintenance on
u peace footing Of half u million Of men,
and to kcCpup the organization, arms and
stores necessary to swell her effective
army to million and Il quarter incase Of

peace to the standard Of quarter Of II

entire force, in tincOf war, To eight humid
rcd thousand, The army Of France num-
bers on peace footing half II million "
men, aud those available in time Of war
ARE reckOnCd ut over half Il million.
The French people have willed another
war with Germany Ms clearly asa nation
can come to my united resolve. but 1t
is obvious enough that Germany may not
choose to bidc the timo Of France for re-
ncwing the war. At present France
could not smelly 60 To war without q
powerful ally. Five years hence she
may be able tn do SO. bismarck has left
nobody in doubt Of his desire to pick II
quarrel with France before she il able to
fight Germany OH equal term" But
Prince Bismarck can not declare n war Of
aggression against France without ere
ating great European combination
against the ambition Of Germany, and
France stcadfastly refuses to he irritNtcd
into furnishing any plausible prcteXt for
quarrel. With Germany ready and
apparently anxious to fight out her open
quarrel with France, Austria and Russia
really control the issues Of peace and war
in Europe.

therefore behooves the city authori-
ties not to overlook the proper regu-
lations relating to buildings, tending
to guard against the spreading of fire.
Los Angeles Is no longer village.
She unquestionably ranks as a city
and as such requires stringent ordi-
nances for the protection OF property.
No one should be allowed within the
municipal limits to construct an edi-
flee that endangers his neighbors'
property, and the slowing of highly
inflamable or explosive substances in
thickly settled localities should be
prohibited. In all cities it has been
found necessary TO legislate upon
these points. Let our authorities not
delay until a great catastrophe forces
the recognition of the danger.

Expressly for the express.

EDITOR HERALD: / have noticed
considerable nonsense in the Express
lately with reference to the fig tree in
Los Angeles, it being claimed that
this tree bears at the age of six or
twelve months. Now / am favorable
to a legitimate statement of the adj
vantages of this section, but such ri
diculous assertions are calculated to
throw discredit upon all the claims
put forward by the press of our county.
Every fruit grower knows that where
cuttings are put out on which are fully
or partially developed fruit germs
these will mature the following
Spring, just as they would had the
bough remained on the parent tree.
The fruit grower is also well aware
that to allow these original germs to
develop into fruit greatly weakens the
young plant and delays its production
Of legitimate fruit, and he therefore
destroys the germ or plucks the young
fruit as soon as discovered. The fig
does not bear for several years any
crop worth speaking of, and it is folly
to endeavor to persuade people other
wise. The public expect at least COM
mon sense of an editor, il nothing
more.
Yours, fig-uratively,

nally reaches the tuber. In Humboldt
for example, the vines flourished till
near maturity, when they suddenly
wilted and died. Our potato growers
therefore should be very careful in the
selection of their seed, particularly
avoiding those from the infected dis
trict, and giving the preference to po-
tatoes from either the States or from
Mexico or Peru. They should never
plant from the growth of their own
land. Mexico and Peru being the
home Of this plant, it would be the
better policy to make arrangements to
secure seed from those countries. A
continued replanting of the same land
in potatoes should be scrupulously
avoided. That these precautions will
prove effectual is shown by the histo-
ry of Ireland. After the famine new
varieties ofpotatoes were introduced,
and the stock is replaced from time to
time by importation of fresh seed,
while due care is taken to properly ro-
tate crops, While they have not been
wholly free from the disease its rava-
ges have been restricted.

The Temecula Indians.

The ejectment of the TEMECULA In
dlans from the lands they have occu :
pied for many years looks very much
like perersion of the law. 1t seems
these natives have resided upon the
land for sufficient time to acquire
title by prescription, as they cultivat-
ed the soil, and otherwise asserted
ownership. The writ of ejectment
was applied for 10y the claimants and
seems to have been speedily issued
and Immediately executed. There
was no trial fthe case whatever, so
far as repol ted, and the Indians were
not represented by any COUNSEL. Their
request for time to consult their chef
OLEGARIo was treated with contempt
and they were forthwith driven out.

Will California be Surpassed.

There seems to be an inexcusable
apathy among our people in relation
to the Philadelphia Centennial Expo
sition, an apathy that is wholly mex
cusable when the Importance of the
opportunity for exhibiting the resour-
ces of our favored state are considered
This exposition will be the grandest
ever known in this country, and equal
the proudest in the ANIMAL of the Old
World. Forty millions of enterpris-
ing Americans will make such show
as all Europe cannot surpass. Every
city, village and hamlet in this great
country will have its representatives
there, and from all parts of the civil
izep world will come genius, talent
and wealth to W itness the grand spec
tacle. Tho press in every land will
teem with accounts Of the display.
Not single member of the Union
can equal California in the display of
the products of the earth and the
mine and certainly none can approach
her in natural curiosities and wonder
full specimens. This Coast can array
a collection that will be the cynosure
of all eyes. Her fruits and flowers,
grains and roots, her minerals, her
live stock, and her manufactured pro-
ducts embrace almost all that man
seeks in every quarter of the globe.
The intelligent visitor to the Exposi-
tion who simply glances over the eat
alogue will give the preeminence to
this favored land. Who eau estimate
the vast benefits to flow from a proper
representation of our resources at the
great exhibition of Amerscan enter
prise and American wealth? a well
managed collection from the single
county of Los Angeles would be worth
millions to the State. Let our people
then be up and doing. Let California
not be surpassed by any part of this
country at the national Jubilee, and
let Southern California particularly
show to the world what her climate
anu soil are capable of producing.
Our Board of Supervisors have been
remiss in their duties on this score,
it is appropriate in this place to give
them a gentle reminder. The State
Board of Commissioners reques ted
the appointment of o subcommittee
of five by the Supervisors OF each
county to assist in the work OF select
ing and forwarding collections. No
appointments have yet been made in
Los Angeles, and much valuable time
is being lost. Gov. DowNEY, the
member of the State Board from this
district, is doing all in his power to
further the work, and should be man.

The Potato Blight.

Troubles never come singly. SonO-
ma county has been scourged by the
phyloxera, her vineyards being threat
ened with entire destruction, and now
the potato blight has made its appear
ance there. 1t is also reported In
Humboldt county. 1t Is folly for the
people of Los Angeles to flatter them
selves that they will not be visited at
some time by these enemies, and it
therefore behooves them to be watch
full. The cultivation of the Irish pota-
toes has suddenly grown to large pro-
portions in this section, and anything
which threatens this important indus
try must be regarded with serious
alarm. Southern California is better
adapted to the growth of the potato
than any other part of the United
States: The yield per acre is from ten
to eighteen tons, which makes this at
the lowest price likely to be reached
a most valuable crop. In very few
parts of the world can the labor of one
man produce a stable crop valued at
five to seven thousand dol Jars, yet
this snot uncommon among the po-
tato growers of Los Angeles. The po-
tato disease first made its appearance
in Germany in 1912, spreading to En-
gland in 1915, and becoming so wide
spread in Ireland in 1916 and Y as to
cause the great famine in that coun-
try. 1t has existed for many years
in the Westetn States. The origin
and character of this disease and an
effectual remedy have attracted the
attention of the scientific men of all
civilized countries, and many volumes
have been written upon it. The bet
| ter opinion seems to be that it origi-
mates from loss of vitality in the seed
caused by continued replanting of the
same stock, and is no doubt partly
caused by too long cultivation upon
the same land. 1t must be borne in
mind that the tuber or root of the po-
tato is not its proper seed, but an ap-
pendage of the plant, and constant re.
planting of cuttings of the potato is
therefore continued subdivision of vi
tality, and point is ultimately
reached when it has not suffi.
cient substance to reproduce itself
and thus falls prey to disease. The
blight first attacks the leaves; and Fl.
