CALIFORNIA RAIsINs.
Producers Unable to Supply the Best
Qualities.

The New York Commercial Bulletin
says No less than six packers of Cali
fornia raisins have already withdrawn
quotations on strictly first-class loose
and layers. In other words, they are out
of the market apparently for the bal
ance of the season. The packers re-
ferred to in some instances state plainly
that it is impossible to ill all the old
orders in full.
Nearly everything coming forward is
taken up for delivery on contracts, leav-
ing very little supply here outside what
may be held by jobbers, and few of
the latter have more goods than their
trade requires. The lower grades of
raisins are in fair supply, and the
chances are there will be considerable
quantity OF the same here before the
holiday season closes, and that such
goods may eventually become rather
cheaper later on, whilst the tendency of
values for frst-class stock is just in the
opposite direction.

This Is Democracy.

a few years ago statement of princi-
pies like that made by Mr.. Breckin-
ridge at the Thurman banquet would
have been commonplace. Between the
fall of the federalists during Madison's
second term and the beginning OF the
civil war there were very few Americans
who would have denied one of these
propositions or its cora,laries:
GA free citizen; a local community
possessed of autonomy, independence
and sovereignty; union of these COM
munities into republic charged with
the common defense and granted linn
tied federal powers which are beyond
the domain OF local and police powers !;
this constitutes the american expert
ment.'"
If an American citizen consults his
happiness and that of his children, if he
looks at the satisfaction of his kind and
the best, most elastic, most peaceful
and most conducive to production
among possible formslof government, he
will demand from the town the largest
share of liberty for the individual that
the welfare of the whole permits, the
largest share of autonomy for the town
from the state and the largest share OF
power for the state from the central
government.
Expressed in different words, the
essential idea of the American system is
that one man shall not be compelled to
violate his own sense of right and con-
venience at the dictation OF another
mans prejudices; that one locality shall
not be compelled to follow regulations
adapted only to distant and different
localities. Subject to the necessities of
union and common national health, this
must be the ruling principle of this ma
ton. Under any other rule there must
be unhappiness, retardation of material
progress and the weakness OF gathering
dissatisfaction with union which is an
injury rather than benefit.
The Republican party brought into a
stealthy practice the other idea of CEN
tralizing the government and controlling
all according to the interes tssof the sec
tion or class which has most influence at
the center. What was a stealthy prac-
tice has lately become an avowed doc
trne. All the poetry ofother times and
oiher lands is brought out to celebrate
the beauties of imperialism. The lndi-
vidual is no longer; the community is
an aggregation of workers, but not a
political atom. All is to be di-
rected from Washington. Massachusetts,
and Pennsylvania are to rule Kansas and
Missouri. A small but powerful class is
to rule Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
The home is to have no opinions the
locality is to learn from strangers what
it needs and may do. There are to be
no state lines but sectional lines to sep
arate the powerful who administer gov
ernment from the helpless who submit
to what is dealt it.
The Republican idea runs through Re-
publican acts. Read the record of the
last session of congress and compare it
with the letters of Hamilton, Morris and
the other Wings of hundred years ago.
The Republican reaction is toward the

DILLMAN THE FORGER.
A NOTED PENMAN CAPTURED l
SAN FRANCISCO.
His Parents Reside in Pasadena-A Preti
Wife's Grief-Dillman's Manner
Passing Bogus Checks.

The San Francisco Chronicle of Wednes-
day contains the following account OF
the arrest in that city of julius K. Dill
man, one of the most successful forgers
of the coast. He has often been in this
city and Pasadena, where his parents
reside:
"There was very affecting scene in
Captain Lees's Office in the old city hall
yesterday afternoon, when George E.
Curtis, young man of polished manner
and attractive appearance, was confessing
to the veteran detective the story of his
many forgeries. The forger was calm
and self-possessed, and appeared not to
realize that before him were many years
of prison life. But his young and pretty
wife, to whom he was married in this
city eighteen months ago, had look of
great distress on her face. Her counte-
nance plainly told the depth of her an
guish, and how cruelty she had been
deceived by the man she had married,
and whom she supposed was following
an honest calling.
1.-The woman was not demonstrative
in her grief, but she sat with bowed head
and sonly an occasional moan burst
from her lips.
"Curtis, whose right name is Julius
X. Dillman, told a story of his forgeries,
which marks him as man OF superior
genius in that branch of crime. In 1883
he first began mis- career i'll this city, and
although he victimized a number of
firms by cashing checks which he had
forged he successfully eluded capture.
Chief Crowley issued a circular on No
vember 80, 1888, containing description
of the forger, to various firms, warning
them to be on the lookout for him, but
one merchant said yesterday: why, l
paid the young rascal with the warning
hanging over my desk in front of me =
'His mode of operation was to hastily
walk into store bareheaded, and, with
pen behind his ears, to the cashiers
desk and ask to have a check cashed,
which usually bore the forged signature
of d firm in the immediate vicinity.
When his room at 72S Bush. street was
searched yesterday complete forger's
outfit was found. A list of the firms
which he had victimized and those he
was preparing to mulct was also found.
He had large bundle of the Sather
banking company's blank checks, and
thirty or forty were filed out with the
names and signatures of prominent
firms. He had rubber and wooden
stamps for numbering the checks and
printing the names of firms in the left
hand edge. Blanks for the Merchants
National bank of Omaha were among
his effects, besides duplicate hotel bag
gage checks. Evidence was found
which attaches him to series Of forger-
les in Dallas, Texas, Columbus, Ga, and
in New Jersey.
"Dillman admitted to Captain Lees
that he committed the forgeries brought
to light in this city and attributed to
him."

How Severe Colds are Broken Up in
Montana.

From the Virginia City (Mont) Madisonian.
When we find medicine we know to
possess genuine merit, we consider it
duty, and we take pleasure in telling
the public what it is. Such medicine
we found Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
last winter, when la grippe was prevail
ing. We are satisfied that we warded
off several attacks that were threaten
ing by the use of this syrup, and we
have since relieved, in a few hours,
severe colds, and in the course of two or
three days, entirely broken them up by
its use, as we have several of our friends
to whom we have recommended it. 1t
isall that it is represented to be by the

BICYCLES FOR BUSINESS.

A Club of Newark Men Who Use the
Wheel Not for Pleasure Alone.
There is probably no city Of its size in
the United States where the bicycle is
used as much.around town for practical
business purposes as in Newark. The
city is not so big and crowded as Brook
lyn or New York, and it is quite con-
venient for merchant drummers, law
clerks, brokers and other folks who have
to cover deal Of pavements in the
course of days business to stride their
steel and rubber horses and roll swiftly
from Office to Office or from end to end
of town at no expense of cab or car fare,
and with much saving of time and effort.
On any Of the business streets there doz-
ems of business men can be seen any day
speeding by on low safety wheels. The
highways leading to Roseville and the
Oranges are much frequented by BIZ
cyclers, many of whom do not wear the
flannel shirts and knickerbockers Of the
rider for pleasure, and carry small sam
pie cases strapped to their machines or
slung from their shoulders.
Newark's city ordinances governing
the use of bicycles in the streets were
until lately quite as liberal as those Of
other large New Jersey towns. The met
ropolitan character of Newark naturally
made the use of the bicycle proportion
ately greater than elsewhere under the
same laws, and the same reasons made
the bicycle more Of a nuisance in the
streets. That is why the police of New
ark have been very active recently in
keeping bicycles strictly within the let
ter of the law, and from this has arisen
a novel association of bicyclers in that
town, the first of the kind in the coun-
try. 1t isn't a club, it has no club house
and its members wear no badge or uni
form. 1t is purely a business organiza-
ton, chiefly of business men, and its
chief object is to look out for the interest
of all bicyclers in Newark, to keep the
city authorities stirred up in the matter
Of maintaining the streets and roads in
good repair and to influence city legisla-
ton in the interest of bicyclers.
The association calls itself the Busi-
ness Mems Cycle club and accepts any
ASpue1OAO DASJSkOi Va tllSJ C1CI do q ilOll-
Der, but is particularly anxious to enroll
business men. The idea is to collect a
great lot Of names of men of business,
prominence and influence, so that when
the club asks the city lawmakers to
grant some new privilege to wheelers, or
abolish some ordinance restricting bicy-
clers, or to mend some bad piece of
pavement, or to open new street, or to
grade road, the request will have the
backing of a lot of men whose names
will carry weight with the city govern
ment. Business men who use bicycles
there are joining the movement in con-
siderable numbers, and the members
have already begun campaign upon
all the business men of their acquaint-
ance, dilating upon the health and
pleasure to be had in bicycling, and urg-
ing them to buy wheels and learn to
ride, and then to join the association.
The club proposes to wage heavy war
upon bad roads for radius of ten miles
around Newark.-New York Sun.

Two Bad Young Men Leave for That

Ingersoll and Dougherty, the two
young men recently arrested at Santa
Ana and San Diego, respectively, for
stealing buggy and double team from
livery man at Lompoc a short time
ago, were Yesterday taken to Santa Bar
bara from this city. Before leaving Los
Angeles, Ingersoll confessed to the po-
lice that two years ago he and another
youth successfully worked similar
scheme upon q man named 1vers, and

young woman whom he induced to

A Big Orchard.

The Tulare Register publishes some
figures from the books of the Paige &
Morton fruit farm, near that city, which
are accurately and fully kept.
In this orchard there are in bearing,
the trees being to years old, 25 acres
of apricots, 119 acres of peaches, nearly
10 acres of pears and ~ acres of prunes.
The fruit from these trees was weighed
in green as it came from the orchard and
aggregated 3,047, ,754 pounds. Sixty car
loads were sold green to California can
neries or shipped to New York, Chicago,
Minneapolis or Boston. Ninety carloads
of green fruit were dried, making Is cars
of dried fruit, averaging 10000 pounds
to the car.
The apricots paid this year per acre
net $2l1.70; nectarines, 1856: peaches,
$3.50; prunes, 5000; pears, 1927. The
total receipts from the orchard, exclu-
sive OF vineyard, were nearly 100000.
Next season the area of bearing trees
will be considerably increased.
Besides the orchard there are 230
acres of bearing grapes, which will also
be largely added to next season. From
this vineyard the seasons output will be
nearly 100000 pounds, or S,571
pounds of raisins, which find good
market in Boston, Chicago and New
York. The receipts from the vineyard
will reach $25 900 to $50 900. The grapes
are not all in yet, but a modest estimate
places the net profit at $175 per acre.

| AS yet our mineral sources are unde-
veloped, but the Investigations Of the
past year have led mans to believe that
rich deposits Of iron, lead, silver, and
copper abound in paying quantities in the
foothills of the Olympic mountains, and
reference to the geological map will re-
veal the extensive area of coal lands, the
output OF which is directly tributary to
Grays Harbor for an outlet.
The town of Chehalis seems badly in
need of a fire. Nothing short Of com
plete wholesale destruction will ever
bring order out Of the chaos of Irregular
ity into which the streets of this small
town have fallen. The buildings face all
ways, like the dancers of quadrille, and
go balancing off to corners and turning
their backs on their partners in wholly
unaccountable way. These peculisrities
could be overlooked in the older build
ings on the ground that the county seat
is an old place and has grown from sew
eral centers, but the stupidity of entirely
disregarding any principle Of regularity
in the new buildings is inexcusable. Sew
eral houses that are still fresh in their
first paint are squeezed out of all shape
on triangular and acknowledged lots.
They look as if they had been built logi-
cally and then knocked silly to fit the
fashion OF the town.

addition in both senses of the word. This
church has also been improved in ap.
pearance by being lifted to higheg po-
sition above the sidewalk.
DR.. Nevius, Of the Episcopal church,
and late pastor of church Of
that denomination in North Yakima,
has for several years been holding out
promises to the Episcopalians of Aber-
deem to establish church among them
where they may follow the service that
through long years of association has be-
come dear to them. DIR. Nevius has at
last felt that the growth in Aberdeen au-
thorizes him in redeeming this promise,
and has been holding services for the last
few months. An active church society
is now at work gathering force and for
tune to build upon the lots already Sc
cured for that purpose.
The members of the Lutheran faith
have been working very quietly but to
good purpose as we may know by the
contracts being let for building hand
some 32x56 church, which is expected to
be when complete, one of the most artis-
tic of Aberdeen's many churches.
Last, but not least, the Presbyterian
church of Aberdeen, which was the pio-
neer religious denomination, is now max
ing arrangements to sell their present
property and erect an elegant and COM
modious church in Keeping with the
growth and increasing requirements of
our city. Their board Of church erection
will help literally in having this done,
well done and quickly done.

log driving. The amount Of timber in all
the state Of Washington il placed in
round figures at 500,0O0,OOO,OOO feet.
From this it will appear that nearly one
fourth of all the lumber in the state must
find its outlet through Grays Harbor.
The agricultural lands embraced in this
area comprises $4,000 acres Of tide lands,
river bottoms and prairie lands 100000
acres, and that the greater portion of up
lands, after the timber is removed, are
available for agricultural purposes.

have their homes and mean to live.
