STRAW BIDS on MAIL CONTRAcTs.-
a Washington dispatch says the Post.
master General fears that n large mum
bar of mail contracts awarded under the
recent lettings have fallen into the hands
of straw bidders. They will commence
service SO as to insure the return of their
certified checks which they were required
under law to deposit as security that they
would execute their contract, and then
become failing contractors. In such cas-
cs temporary service must be promptly
contracted for for period not exceeding
six months. Heretofore such failures
almost universally resulted in putting the
service in the hands of old contractors.
on be routes who were ready with their
stock 20 perform it, and Mt such prices as
they might dictate. Anticipating the re-
currence Of these failures after the Ist of
July next, Mt which time the new service
will commence, the Postmaster General
has now announced that in every case Of
failure on nm important route he will give
notice of it through the press dispatches
and withhold the contracts for temporary
service till others beside the old contract
ors shall have an opportunity to offer to
do it. He is DESTROYS of breaking up the
vicious system of straw bidding and the
consequent perpetual one of contracts in
the same parties from term TO term. He

Louisiana and Arkansas, where the mail
routes are long and profitable.

CLIMATIC CHANGES.

A record of the rainfall Of the State has
been kept since the general settlement Of
the country in 1919, and the present year
has been very exceptional one in its
characteristics. Scientists will puzzle
their brains to ascertain the cause Of the
extraordinary change shown in the eli
mate of this State the present year. The
Winter was an exceptionally cold one,
and in that respect, it was not different
from the Winter in the East, where the
general average of temperature has been
much lower than for many years. What
is the more remarkable in this connection
is the fact that, in former years season
of extraordinary GOODNESS in the East, was
in marked contrast, generally, with the
same season on this Coast. But the last
Winter was one of extreme GOODNESS ev-
erywhere, while Spring appears to have
been retarded alike, proportioned to the
severity of the Winter.
Cold weather is unfavorable to storms,
and the rainfall has been very light
causing much damage to both the mining
and farming interests OF the State ut large.
The lack OF moisture, however, was in
part compensated by the cool Spring
weather which saved many fields of grain
that it was believed would be total fail
ures. The usual Spring rains would have
insured large wheat yield, notwthstand-
ing the dryness Of the Winter months.
But for the first time in many years,
April and May passed without drop OF
rain falling in the valley districts, though
slight showers fell in some of the mountain
counties. There is nothing, however,
that will insure full crop in the valleys
but copiOus rainfall, and that was lack
ing. Still the yield promised to give =
and harvesting was at its hight when the
unexpected storm Of last week came, in
juring much Of the standing grain, and
threatening to destroy that which was cut
already and in waiting for the threshers.
We have had Summer storms, and Sep
TENDER rarely goes by without giving n
day or two OF rainy weather. but storm
of such duration as that we have been
having is unexampled. People who have
been used to the usual California Summer
were totally unprepared for such unlock.
I'd for atmospheric changes. The damage
to the grain and hay crop cannot fail of
being very great and no precaution could
have guaIded against it. The storm
seems to have been extending
over the State.

SHASTA PoLITIcs.-C Candidates for Of
fee are thick as blackberres, in Shasta
county. Sam. Isaac&s, who visited us a
few months ago in his official capacity u.
NJ. w. Grand Patriarch of the Grand
Encampment, |. 0. O. F., aspires to be
Sheriff. Ii Sam ever gets his grip on a
criminal, it's safe to say that he will have
to be powerful good man to loosen it,
also aspires to the Sherffalty. Charley
is cool and courageous. and would, no
doubt, serve the people we'll. For AS
SCISSOR, &. G Lang>den, who once taught
dancing in this county, asks the Demo
cratic nomination. He will be opposed
by James Leary, a Republican, and as
her limits. Leary was the Republican
candidate four years ago and was defeat
ed ny few votes only. Party feeling
elected an Incompetent Democrat to that
office, and the Shasta people saw reason
to regret it, For Clerk, +. G. Tiffin is n
candidate, and as he il competent and we
hear Of no opposition, he will probably be
the Republican nominee. He will be OPP
posed by Bickford, present lncun bent.
Bicklord is good officer and well es-
teemed socially, but will miitate against
his chances that he has held the Office two
term, and people begin to think that Of
flee, like service, is no Inheritance, and
that when mans political aspirations
hive received fair shate of considera
ton at their hands, he would he acting
the better part to yield gracefully to 9th,
ers. The same applies TO HUI, who will
probably be- the Democratic nom iuee for
Sheriff. For the other Offices 10 an
ropaeenlents are being made.

THE CHRONICLES FLOP.

| The San Francisco Chronicle recently
undertook to give the public the inside
history of the late Republican Conven-
ton, in its usual sensational style. I'M
fortunately for its attempt, Governor
Stanford was interviewed by a Past re-
porter, and the interview appearing in
the Post mt the same time convicted the
Chronicle Of drawing altogether upon its
Imagination for its facts. 1t might be in
teresting to know the inside history Of
the sudden change of the Chronicle from
an advocate Of Republican success to its
bitter and interruptions opponent and
the dent friend of Tom Findley for the
Democratic nomination for Governor.-
AT least it forces upon us the query =
Why are these thing thusly ?" and
when we reflect II moment and perceive
that according to the Chronicle Buiietin
and cat, the railroad not being in the
fight there is no money in it and when
it occurs to ue that possibly the moneyed
institutions of this Coast may think they
see the rising star of the political frma-
mrnt in the Democratic horizon and
when we further remem Der it is said Stan
ford is hostile and that Findryi is very rich
and verv ambitious and has rich and
Influential friends we say that when all
these things crowd upon us, we are forced
to pause, our Imagination takes wings and
speeds swiftly away even into the inner
mo t recesses OF the sanctum of the viz
tuons, reliable Chronicle. There, in the
farthest corner we imagine we recognize
the controlling spr; of the Chr0nicie in
earnest conversation with individuals to
us unknown. The conversation proceeds
inaudible to us and we can only catch its
import from certain significant gestures.
At length the Chronicle representative
raises his voice So we can hear him and
he says 1.-THE Chronicle is live pa
per with large Republican subscription,
but its principle can always be ascertain
ed from its interest. The weighty argu-
ments you have produced are too satisfac-
tory to leave any doubt ms to the best
policy to be pursued, and, to morrow
morning, the Chronicle will rip HI out
of the Republican ticket" When in i'm
agina:ion we returned, it was the night
after the Republican Convention ad-
journed.
