EDITOR HERALD:-Now is the time
that every citizen feels it his duty to ad.
wise the City Council with reference to
river work. Accordingly l wish to drop
hint.
I would suggest this: That in re
building the approaches to the First
street bridge, those approaches be made
up on piling instead of making simply a
solid mud embankment. The present
embankment is Just what threw the cur
rent around itself and forced the water
to cut out another temporary channel
further up First street. Had this APP
proach been Of open piling, the water
would have had free chance to run off
with less back cutting. Again, would it
not be advisable for the Council to ad-
vertise for plans and estimates from
competent engineers with reference to
permanent improvements in river work
It is useless to longer do blind tinkering
What is needed is scientific engineering.
Yours, etc.,

We have long been engaged in exam.
ining imported fruit and fruit products
from all parts of the world to see how
our own would compare with those now
popular in the markets. It seems that
foreign producers are getting curious
about our products, for it is cabled from
Rome that the Ministry OF Commerce
has received consignment OF American
oranges and lemons from the Italian Con-
sui at New York, and has been sampling
the fruit with view to ascertaining the
chances of America competing in the
expectation Of oranges and lemons from
Italy. We hope they obtained good
samples. As it is so early il Is unlikely
that California contributed to the sam
pies. Perhaps some of our producers
would like to crafty Italian interest by
